Calm Down Folks!

OK dammit, calm down! Lil Wayne is in fact expected to sell somewhere between 700k-850k copies of his latest release, The Carter IV. At that pace, he's sure to outsell Ye and Jay's Watch The Throne. So let's briefly put this in perspective before the nation's jegging-wearing, young Weezy-ites crown him king.

Exhibit A: How may records did MC Hammer sell when he was at his hottest? A shit load. How many records did Ice Cube (solo) sell at his hottest? not nearly as big of a shit load as MC Hammer. Who's better?

Exhibit B (I'm gonna use pictures for this one, in case any Weezy-ites are reading this and I'm moving too fast for you/there's too many words on the screen for your brain to digest at once):

VS

We all know McDonald's will never be as good as Le Bernardin, but the reality is more people eat at McD's. Why? Because it's cheap, it's fast, and it's always accessible. It's the culinary equivalent of a whore. OK, yeah yeah yeah, i hear you Weezy-ites- "But Jay and Kanye are always talkin' about NUMBERS- "men lie, women lie, numbers dont"- remember that?!!". Sure do- and I'm sure as Jay polishes his gold baby dinosaur egg-encrusted Hublot, he recalls saying something to that effect as well. And IF Wayne does win this sales race, it won't be the first loss Jay has taken (see 'Ether'), although the other one was at the hands of a much more worthy opponent. Side note- let's see if Wayne can go Gold in a week at 42 years old.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not a Jigga Warrior, and i actually like Weezy. But, much like the hour after you consume a big mac, if you digest The Carter IV you will feel sluggish and empty afterwards. Meanwhile I'm still digesting the wordplay on Jay's verse on Welcome to the Jungle, where he reincarnates himself as MJ, Pimp C, B.I.G, and Weezy even ("My tears is tatted / My rag in my pocket"). Watch the Throne is made with free range, cage-free Whole Foods ingredients; intended for consumption by the well-informed. Carter IV is... well, it's junk food. And while i prefer home cooked meals, every now and then, even i like to eat McDonald's fries. The choice is yours.

Food for thought, you do the dishes...

SHOTS FIRED- LIL WAYNE ANSWERS JIGGA'S "BABY MONEY" LINE

Finally Weezy has grown some balls and came back at Jigga Man for his line about Baby. For what it is worth I don't think it is any argument about who is the better rapper. But Weezy is reckless and Jay is a married man over 40 and more inclined to lay back so you never know what is going to happen. Usually in these circumstances Jay does not respond to dis tracks but this time he probably most certainly will. Wayne basically calls Beyonce a bitch and threatens to kidnap her in his lyrics. I don't know how real the beef is - Wayne's album is coming out at the end of the month .

Ladies and Gentlemen: Young Money

How many of these Young money representatives will actually get to record a solo or group project. I say three. Drake, lloyd and Minaj. Then someone will fuck the wrong person and then the break up will begin. I am sorry but hip hop history tells us that these things never end well. The combination of too many egos +too many dicks (No Bruno) and way too many drugs usually equal collapse and the inevitable, "remember when they ( fill in blank of roc crew, wu- tang, hot boys, g unit ) were running the shit out of the game? It's a shame how they broke up." I feel good for Jae Mills because he seemed to have landed on his own two feet. You can't be a free styler all the time. Hopefully he is ghostwriting for baby or something. Oh well, let's enjoy it while it lasts:

THE BET AWARDS WAS A THREE HOUR DICK SUCK TO MICHAEL JACKSON (AND RIGHTFULLY SO)

Lately the BET Awards has been a reputable and credible awards program that has become just as relevant and at times more important than the MTV awards. This year I was wondering how I was going to sit through three hours of Wayne, Hilson and other stars that I could care less about. The unfortunate death of The King Of Pop made it easy for even my momma to watch the awards because let's face it Mike was front and center on everyone's minds. MAD PROPS to BET producers for changing the scope of the show at a moment's notice. In the old days (three years ago) they would have just went on with the scheduled show and not care who died. Good job BET.
HERE'S A CLIP OF LIL WAYNE ACTING A DAMNED FOOL BRINGING HIS FAMILY UP WHILE ACCEPTING AN AWARD FOR BEST MALE RAPPER ALIVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ONE THING FOR SURE: HE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO WHERE HE WAS ON THE STRENGTH OF HIS GRAMMAR- ENJOY:

HOW IS HE FAMOUS AWARD? - LIL WAYNE

the past year I have been asking myself: how in the world is lil wayne famous? it's not like he is new or anything. It's not like he is a good lyricist. It's not like he didn't kiss a man on the mouth (oh wait) but this year lil wayne finally had the career breakthrough that he had been hoping for. not only did he go from being a drug addicted boy that was known as baby's son to a #1 selling artist with 8 grammy nominations but now he is mainstream. I just heard him doing voice overs for gatorade commercials. I feel bad for guys that actually have skills and didn't get where they are on a gimmick. but fuck it he did the damned thing and he is now the number one guy in music. WOW! Somewhere 50 cent is wondering who he has to kiss on the mouth to be famous and relevant again
