Possibly the three biggest MC's in the game overall spoke with MTV about MTV's latest 'Hottest MC In The Game' List. Kanye West (ranked #1), T.I (ranked #10) and 50 Cent (ranked # 8) all chimed in separately with their thoughts."They talk about the [Hottest] MC list," a Kanye West told the audience at the United Center show he was performing. "I don't know if y'all heard about this. But I brought the Grammys home for y'all. And now I brought that #1 spot home for y'all. 'Cause every time I rhyme, I rhyme for y'all. Everything I do, I do for y'all. Chi-Town in this b---h. Chi-Town on the map. Chi-Town King of rap, and Lupe got my back."West continued backstage."Ah man, that's dope. ... No, seriously ... That's really, really, super dope.
"T.I, who's legal troubles partially kept him out of the limelight this year, spoke with Ed Lover about the list."I didn't take it personally, you know," T.I told Ed Lover. "I think it had a lot to do with the fact that when they was putting the list together, I didn't have any music out. At the time when they was judging how hot people were, I was on house arrest. I ain't trippin'," Tip added. "They gonna have to do another list. Jeezy is the homie. Everybody else on the list is the homie. I tip my hat and salute everybody else who made the list. I was just with [Andre 3000] last night. He was like, 'I appreciate it. I appreciate still being acknowledged, you know.'"
50 Cent however was not as thrilled with the list."I shouldn't even be on that list," 50 said. "To be honest, I shouldn't even be categorized with them [other MCs on the list]. It doesn't even matter. Look at the people who are actually creating the list. None of them have made a hit record or [borne] the pressure of doing it."50 went on to suggest that former MC's choose the next list."Not necessarily the artists now," 50 continued. "Artists who have previously created hit records, that understand the art form. You got a bunch of people who, because they interviewed rappers, they feel that they know. Because they read XXL or The Source. They don't understand."
okay......before I post these lyrics that Im passionate about... I watched the top rappers pick for the 3rd time and was pissed that ANDRE STACKS..3000...(but hollywood calls him BACK) was at number 9...
what is yo problem?
this man drops jewels for you...diamonds...perfection in a verse...and we give him nine...while arguing that soulja boy should be on the list at 10...
you've gotta be kiddin me...
so ....DIGGY and I played and read this verse and got a lil angrier...also thinking about how they said LUPE RAPS ABOUT RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS
us true to hiphop lyrical expressers would like people to understand what we are writing for them...and here's the andre verse
Styles will change. They say change is dang-erous As a King standing on the terrace While his partner pointing up at the riflemen Coward shooter, never know when your life will end Then live like there ain't no 'morrow And if one come then this the motto Now I put message in bottle You go to the nearest beach and open your car door And walk to the place where the sea meets the land Yeah, it's easier to run the street than walk in the sand Hey, I'm talking young man. As if chalk in my hand I will take y'all little ass to school It's cool when the kids call me Sunny, the hood calls me Stacks The B's call me honey, Hollywood calls me back Crack and I have a lot in common We both come up in the 80's and we keep that bass pumping That's a nega-tive comparison, embarrassing Unfortunate that if you come up fortunate the streets consider you lame Ha, I thought the name of the game was to have a better life. I guess it ain't. What a shame I don't slang. Never slung but I'm one with the slum that has a name well fitting Plenty cheese getting. No wonder why they call it the trap So watch your tail and I'm not kidding The rats and mice will give advice, they say, "you can paint and draw Get out of here. Go show them that we're more than slanging raw." That's when I broke into my Big Rube impression And I tried to enlighten but that night I learned a lesson That the morals that you think you got go out the window When all the other kids are fresh and they got new Nintendo Wiis And your child is down on her knees praying hard up to God for a whopper with cheese Do you B) hit the street hard with a flair Or do you A) go to school for heating and air? Dare make an honest living or make a crooked killing Or do a bit of both until you're holding on a million? Brilliant. You got one foot in, one foot out You put your left foot back in and then you shake it all about You do the hokey pokey til you turn your life around That's what it's all about. 3000 out

Wanted to take the time out today to define some words that people use regularly. You may understand why I did this...you may not....but read up
SOUL - the principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body, and commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physical part.
HATE - to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward.
IGNORANT - lacking in knowledge or training.
SEXY -(in the way I usually like to use it) - excitingly appealing; glamorous
COOL - calmness; composure; poise
HOOD - A neighborhood, usually in the inner city. DIDNT LIKE THIS ONE: A hoodlum; a thug. A rowdy or violent young person. [Short for hoodlum.]
Oh so long for this night I prayed That a star would guide you my way To share with me this special day Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love
If allowed may I touch your hand And if pleased may I once again So that you too will understand There's a ribbon in the sky for our love
This is not a coincidence And far more than a lucky chance But what is that was always meant Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love
We can't lose with God on our side We'll find strength in each tear we cry From now on it will be you and I And our ribbon in the sky Ribbon in the sky A ribbon in the sky for our love

Whoo the HTC Diamond has to be one of the illest touch phones that I like. Me personally I hate touch phones due to the fact of my stubby ass fingers not being compatible with touch screen texting lol. This phone however using Windows Mobile 6.1, VGA Screen, quad-band HSPDA 7.2 and other iPhone-esque features. Besides those alone you can't deny the sleek look of the phone itself, and the design features on the back of the phone. Initial reports that the interface is a little slow, the bugs should be worked out by the time a release date rolls around. No word on a release date's for the state's.
So i kind of took a vacation and let my dudes update everything. But i wanted to provide somewhat of a mission statement on why i decided to stay loyal to ladies love smooth tuesday. To sum it up I provide up and coming artist that i'm vibing with at the moment if you like it google it. It also does include more reknown musicians but it just provides the feel of the day.Umm so the direction i had originally planned for today is put on hold I mean i dont how the weather is for you but today in Seattle its overcast clouds. So that means we chill and relax do what we like.....Cruise with me

Aight, for those of you who don't know about Vans Vault, Vans Vault is a more high end and exclusive side of Vans. The quality of the product they release is amazing down to it's odd choice of material's and c/w's. Grey Stone pack is an upcoming pack that I would like to highlight on QUB. Sk8-LX, Era LX, and Slip-on LX, are what comes in the pack. All three shoes have blue cotton upper ends. They should be dropping late May.
by the way.... there were burgers,hot links, and chicken all grilled by me...yea...I used to get down on the grill on MARS....took what I knew and applied it to earth. Had strawberries...mango's that someone hid...licorice...chips...grapes...the softest cookies in the world and hella water. Hit up costco yall...
Nike SB is doing a Powell Peralta's Public Domain shoe. If you don't know what it is it's a skate video from 1988. This video is a big part of skateboarding along with all of the Bones Brigade and Powell videos. This video led to a lot of skaters careers going big and becoming household skateboarding names. The shoe has the same c/w the dvd case had on it located on the tongue.
Ghost is a very popular graffiti artist for those of you who don't know, and he has recently finished a collaboration t-shirt with Stussy. Here's the two shirts from the whole project between Ghost x Stussy.
Hypebeast go ahead and break your Anderson's out lol...
Anyways this is some quality streetwear right here. I think that W) Taps always come's correct, along with Goretex.... I'm feeling this jacket that is dropping in Summer/Spring.....? Who knows why lol, but I suppose Winter shopping can start early.
So once again Supreme drops another random ass release. They're these new Geometric Camp Caps from the new set of Supreme Spring/Summer collection. I'm feeling them you know...nice release. I tend to be more of a beanie and panel cap type of guy so these are doing justice in the preference field for me. They drop in three c/w's green, blue, and black. Another rightly served release Supreme, way to go with this.
If you are interested in buying one your in luck...available world wide at all Supreme locations.
New Huf Site now open...It took a while, but its a well organized website. So peep it out on a weekly bases for new products they get in. They sell their own collection and a few other products from
so I see that TOEB has updated you all on my "stay off the video game bickering" lol honestly I was trippin that day...because a young man like him should be playing games... fresh look on the clothing tho...
In other news...my hair is matted in neat clumps that we like to call dreadlocks lol...it's amazing going through this process and I advise anyone with the character and patience to complete the task of letting them grow to do so.
I apologize to anyone reading this... I have no point...no brain this morning...so im pretty much rambling on... I just wanted to post something and be cool before anyone else on my squad... u kno..take ALL the attention.
