Damn dude, the game has changed.

This cover pisses me off. I miss YN. For those of you who may not be familiar, he is the self-proclaimed “Yellow N*gga”, Elliott Wilson, former EIC of XXL Magazine. I remember when I used to read XXL atleast 5 times every month. I had to memorize quotes, read between the lines, take notes. My favorite part? The letter from the editor. To me, it was the best part of the whole mag. I think he was a rapper in another lifetime. Lol.

Ahh, when I was in love with hip-hop.

Datwon Thomas is now the EIC.

Historically, XXL never has featured the predictible rapper on its cover. The hottest rapper and/or your favorite rapper either graced the cover a month early, or seemingly 2 months late. Therefore, I won’t have a bug fest about Nas (ahem) not gracing the cover. HOWEVER, where the hell did they get Foxy Brown and Jeezy? (Yeah, say that shit out loud.) Fox has absolutely nothing poppin right now!! Hell, she deserved the cover as much as Jacki-O!! Atleast, Jacki almost got slapped recently.

(Language warning, if you’re at work. )

2 all my Bitches

What name would you rather be called?

There are many different ways to insult a female. 5-letter words. 3-letter words. However, it’s 2008. Do those words still cut as deep? I wanted to have a meeting in the ladies room. This board is flooded with the male point of view. “She looks good” and “If I had 5 minutes, I would…” So now, I want to hear from my ladies……………

Raheem DeVaughn - Text Messages.…he just does something to me. Love his music.

Ramdomly speaking…

I miss her.

Newcomer, Jazmine Sullivan is killing the game right now with her single, “Need U Bad”. I initially heard this song sitting in the car in Brooklyn, waiting on my girls to hop in. Honey, I thought Lauryn Hill was back! Seriously, I felt tears coming.

But nope. Wishful thinking, I guess.

He looks nervous as hell. He handled it well… probably for the cameras because he mentions how it hurts too many times. LOL!!

When Kanye West went on national television after Hurricane Katrina devastated parts of the US and said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” he let it be known that he was politically aware and opinionated. Now, he’s taking it into the new year and the new election.

Kanye West joins the artists tapped to appear at this year’s Democratic Convention in Denver, CO. N.E.R.D. and Wyclef Jean will also perform at a party for MTV and the Rock the Vote Campaign going on during the Convention. Festivities for the Convention will begin August 25 and will go on for three days.

Guess who’s out of jail already??

Khloe Kardashian.

Yeah, I really don’t care either. What happened is more interesting that who it happened to.

Apparently she spent about 3 hours locked up, opposed to her 30-day sentencing for DUI. Why?? “Prison overcrowding”. Are we shocked?

There is a reason these “really shouldn’t be famous” and dysfunctional celebrity families live in Los Angeles, honey! Try that *ish on the east coast and you’ll be sharing ‘3 hots & a cot’ with Remy Ma.

I’m waiting for one of these celebutantes to actually kill someone while DUI.
Such a mess…

How about the only time I EVER hear these rumors is when he’s addressing them. He is killing me with this and honestly, all of the bass in his voice is letting us know it has become personal. He’s upset and it’s showing.

Can we get back to the money?

Hands down, I’m feeling the kid… been feeling the kid. I actually heard of him online first. Here’s him freestyling on True Stories Radio (the same day Jen the Pen went in on Roxci). He def goes in… even admits he wrote for Remy Ma.

I’m rollin… how do you feel about it?
