NEW JAY Z "JOCKING JAY Z" AND RUN DMC'S DUMB GIRL


So i opened my inbox a few days ago and found the new Jay Z joint off the blueprint 3. 2 hours later it leaked on the net as was expected.
As you all know the beginning of the song starts off with a slowed down Run Dmc sample off the raising hell album" i seen you jocking Jay Z"blah blah

Sooooo in the song "Dumb Girl" when Run Dmc say" I seen you jocking Jay Z cos they got a Mercedes,and you know about his ladies and all his babies" who are they talking about??

Its obviously not the same Jay Z that we know now, as this came out late 86 and he had his vinyl depute in 89.....

Well thats what i thought untill my man corrected me..Jay z's vinyl depute was in 86 with a group called "high potent" So who were Run Dmc talking about?????????? Anyone know????

what goes up (must come down)

When i was in Ibiza 2 weekends ago my homeboy george showed me this video. Pretty dope...check it out..

ISAACS DEATH ...




Read this earlier today.May be a load of BS but Scientology is defiantly dodgy...what do u recon????

While offical reports list a stroke as Isaac Hayes' cause of death, there's a really interesting article implying Scientology may have played a role in his demise. The article explains how Scientologist Isaac Hayes lost the rights to all his songs back in 1977 and really wasn't doing well financially until the late 1990's when he got that gig voicing the character of Chef on South Park. The article also reveals the little known fact that Isaac suffered a debilitating stoke in 2006 that'd left him with significant motor control and speech issues. Anyway, the article goes on to say that after South Park started riding really hard against the Scientology sect, South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker say Isaac came to them in tears saying he was under tremendous pressure from Scientology leaders to quit the show unless South Park quit their campaign against their religion. They refused, forcing Isaac to choose between his job and his beliefs. He choose his faith and quit the show. According to the article, "Isaac’s income stream was severely impaired as a result. Suddenly there were announcements of his touring, and performing. It didn’t seem possible, but word went out that he’d be at BB King’s in New York in January 2007. I [the reporter] went to see him and reported on it here [in his colum].The show was an abomination. Isaac was plunked down at a keyboard, where he pretended to front his band. He spoke-sang, and his words were halting. He was not the Isaac Hayes of the past. But the general consensus was that he needed the money. Without “Chef,” Isaac’s finances were severely curtailed. He had mouths to feed and to home. Plus, Scientology requires huge amounts of money, as former member, actor Jason Beghe, has explained in this space. For Isaac to continue in the sect, he had to come up with funds. Performing was the only way." While the article stops short of saying Scientology pushed Issac into an early grave, it raised a lot of questions about his death. Like why, for example, was a stroke survivor on a treadmill by himself? What was his condition? What kind of treatment had he had since the stroke? Members of Scientology are required to sign a form promising they will never seek psychiatric or mental assistance. But stroke rehabilitation involves the help of neurologists and often psychiatrists, not to mention psychotropic drugs — exactly the kind Scientology proselytizes against.

COME AND PARTY

THE SOURCE STEP THEIR GAME UP



If the truth be told i haven't bought a copy of this magazine in about 5 years. Now the only magazines I'll actually pay money for are XXL and of course KING magazine.
It's a shame because as we all know the source used to be dope. Back in the day there was only 1 shop in the UK that's sold the Source, and that was the legendary Groove records. Slowly it spread to other record shops like Catch a groove, and Red records. At the time a guy called Ben Smith was the guy who wrote for them as well as sold there magazines for them and would have copies in a mini shopping trolley and wheel it round the west end. Arhhhh those were the days...
Cut a long story short, Benzino got envolved and the magazine turned from a must read to a must NEVER read again read.

For there 20th anniversary cover they got old Spike lee to photograph the god Nas for the cover...Seems like the Source is stepping it up, but isn't it a little to late?? Do any of you guys reading this still buy the Source....Let me know!!!!!


*INTERESTING MK FACT NO 1 -Spike Lee is THE only person in the world so far to REFUSE me a drop for my mixtape......Thanks spike

POLICE BRUTALITY!!!!!!!



I shouldn't really be laughing ...but hey this is jokes.. So mixtape dj and general business man DJ VLAD interviewed Clipse last week. One of the questions he asked them were there opinions on the whole "Rick Ross was a prison guard and not a million dollar drug overlord which he makes out" thing. This time Vlad continued this line of questioning, when interviewing Mr Ross, and lets just say he should of kept his mouth shut........
.Most people wouldnt care less if Rick ross used to work as a screw. What i think is sad is the fact that Rick ross thinks that to be successful in Hip hop you have to take on this gangster/drug dealer per sonar, which in this case as backfired on dude big time...
