What the fizzuck? Kanye's Kill Yourself...

According to a news article on Sputnik Music, Kanye West told a reviewer to '"kill yourself," however West has since erased the incendiary instruction in the misguided belief that things can be deleted from the internet.'

Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! ... I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. ... I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!

His telling anyone who's not his fan to 'Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!' Strikes me as hilarious that he thinks he is creating art. I know arrogance and artists are meant to be synonymous, but I don't, honestly think he is making "art", anymore.



I can't say I really liked much past '04, and college drop out era. But damn, this dude has lost it, as bad if not worse then on MTV! New contender for Tom Cruise like insanity? When this dude has done a classic, that is on the level anything Nas, Rakim or KRS-ONE has done, I will respect this dudes self proclaimed "pop art".



Keep it Fresh.

Prodigy of Mobb Deep

The beginning of gritty, hardcore rap on the Eastcoast is an image I will always associate to Mobb Deep. While on the West Coast Death Row was still in the height of its supremacy. On the East, Illmatic and Ready To Die were being dropped. And in comes Juvenile Hell, but what really did it for me was The Infamous Album Anyone who can rap like Prodigy on did on that album, I have immense respect for.

Shook Ones Part II will always be a classic for me;



So naturally I was curious about H.N.I.C 2, especially after his run in with Tru Life. And his recently getting knocked on a gun charge. And his beef with Tru Life:




... Had me wondering what he was up to, what was his latest album like.



I really liked the Old Prodigy, before Mobb Deep fucking signed with Elephant Unit (I know, it's a joke) . In having listened to this album, I would say the Old Prodigy is back, and it's time for some Juvenile Hell. Well worth the wait, the money and the time spent, dunn.



The Spanish Voxonic track was pretty ok too. Problem is, with Rap, it has to rhyme. And the Spanish rhyming is worse then fucking Reggaeton, maybe with vocals but this technology don't work with rap. Maybe this technology wasn't made for rap. When the founder of the company you signed with
, says:

``I hate rap,'' Fred Deutsch admitted, ``but I've seen it touching our kids. This is Arie's inspiration. I scoffed at rap -- and rap will be our first success.''

His son, Arie Deutsch, whom he referred to, was indeed right in saying:

"Prodigy's entire album is a masterpiece and we're excited that 'The Life' has broadened his reach beyond underground hip-hop heads. The fans have spoken and this is just the beginning!"

Is right, this is classic. Tracks such as Young Veterans make me more thankful that P's Young Veterans didn't get back at Tru Life with his team. I'm saying, those hair things look awful homo. I reckon Prodigy kinda wins in that department. It's a gully track, with lyrics like:

"You thought something sweet, believe Jay if you want,
Go head, believe Nas or whoever you choose
Come on over here and you gonna see the truth
It's nothing out the ordinary, this is what we do
My team so strong, I feel sorry for you
These rappers is pissed off, they not getting felt
They get record deals, but their records get shelved
... "

and at about 2:20 minutes,the crazy vocalisations of Prodigy are fucking cool, but nothing like Panacea.

"Fucking with these young veterans you get done
Don't be mad at me, be mad at yourself for being so garbage,
you need to be killed, for putting out bullshit like it's all a joke
Cause you from the hood don't mean your shit is dope,
just cause you got bodies don't mean you gone go
..."

Make it sound like a bit of a shout out to Tru Life, but it's squashed now anyway. Classic shit. Heck, even Field Marshall P, is a really smooth, laid back track about P on the streets. Late night sneaking track. I think the reality of taking an up north trip has fired something cold in him:

Nearly every track has grimy lyrics from P.

And The Life, is a fucking ghostly, freaky as fuck track. That ghostly singing in the background, the funky electronic noises make something that freaks me the fuck out, but sounds great in doing so.

Honestly P, if what you can cook up when you're locked is as good as this, you are on your way to being fucking ill.

4/5
