This is one of my all time favorite joints. The beat is timeless. I'm in an old school hip hop mood. Feeling sentimental this time of year.

AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER
I believe everybody has an opinion so although I may not agree with what you are saying but I respect your right to express yourself. Watching this clip of Nelly(via www.Thisis50.com and www.worldstarhiphop.com. I totally disagree with him and wish he would have kept his mouth shut. I may not agree with the manner Ice T said what he said about Souljah Boy I can respect his right to express his viewpoint. Nelly is just adding fuel to a fire that is already growing out of control. Souljah Boy is making music for his audience I can't even begin to understand what he is talking about nor do I attempt to. My only issue with Souljah Boy would be if he started to tell people to sell drugs or rob people. I believe that when you place yourself in a position of celebrity you have an obligation to uplift and educate those who look up to you. Nelly has shown that he has forgotten that aspect of celebrity and having fans. Sometimes it's not about making money but about helping your brothers and sisters out of their negative situation.

THE HATE THAT HATE PRODUCED
Everybody hates dying. But some Nigga’s Die Hating – JadaKiss - Hate in your Blood
I was on searching for the proper definition of the word Hater the other day. I went to www.urbandictionary.com and I saw several definitions of what it could mean but for this blog I’ll stick to the one that best defines what I’m trying to say. So Hater is define as a person of discernment, with good taste and/or sound ethics, who sees clearly the degenerate, embarrassing, destructive, trite, self-serving, stupid, poor quality, and/or offensive nature of a person, a behavior, a product or a social trend, and says so.
Ladies and Gentlemen I’m a hater. The next question that I ask is am I a hater because I don’t go with the status quo and I express my opinion. Or am I just smart enough to see fault with a system or person, behavior, or social trend. I was watching the MTV Video Music Awards show the other night and I saw a lot of bullshit flash before my eyes in the span of the 2 hours and half that the show was on. Society is so easily programmed by the media and select members of society. I’m watching who the media has selected as the best rapper right now, Lil Wayne. As a rap fan I have marveled at how much he has improved and become a well rounded rapper but for me to call him the best rapper alive, hell no. However when your only competition is Souljah Boy, Hurricane Chris, Bow Wow, and Young Jeezy there aren’t many lyrical people in this group but this is his primary competition. Sitting here watching the VMA’s I realize why I hate this motherfucker so much, it’s not because of his rapping skills it’s because of his lack of concern about the influence he has on the youth. He’s parading around flashing his bandana broadcasting his gang affiliation. Gang violence is on the rise again and here is the so called most popular rapper (christened by the media) influencing countless children to join a gang. Many people aren’t going to agree with my thinking stating that rappers don’t have that type of influence over kids. However with the help of a powerful media machine, Viacom: MTV, BET, VH1, Spike TV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite, Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks, and TV Land you can influence a legion of people. So as I sit here watching this vehicle of control I realize how lost society has become. As a society we are influenced by drug addicts, prison culture, and television. So now we have the blind leading the blind with Lil Wayne leading the youth through his music. For this reason I am a hater I can’t fuck with this type of thinking. So sitting here watching this awards show I am amazed at how society has embraced Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse. They are both examples of the ills of society. They both have suffered from drug abuse and mental diseases. They have also won major awards this year. In my eyes the media is advocating this behavior. They are trying to keep society medicated and complacent by promoting drug use. So to this behavior I am glad to say that I am a Hater. Hi.

I Love Good Hip Hop
I was on the net listening to music today at work and I heard the two best songs this week, Lil Wayne's Mr. Carter featuring Jay Z and LL Cool J's Hi Hater Freestyle. These songs made me appreciate hip hop music tremendously this week. Mr. Carter to me soildify's JAy Z as the Best Rapper Alive. He murdered Lil Wayne on this track. Even though Wayne came off Jay Z showed why he is head and shoulders above everyone else. Lyrically not many people can hold a cup to Jay his verse further illustrated why he is better than your favorite rapper. "I took so much change from this rap game it's your go". Wayne couldn't keep up. You know ayne was fucked up he started to recite an old Jay Z line. Damn homie Sorry young heir you have a way's to go to challenge for the throne. Jay is still the King.
The second hot song of the week is the the Hi Hater Freestyle by LL Cool J. This was classic LL when focused LL is top five. "The G.O.A.T. I helped build the Hip Hop nation. How the four walls going to go hate on the foundation. My Rhyme book created your occupation". Oh shit many people aren't going to understand what LL said until somebody breaks it down for them. I bumped this joint about ten times at work because LL's word play and metaphor's were sick. This was a classic hip hop joint. These are my two hot songs of the week.
