Hahaha, we’re here laughing at Foxy Brown’s crazy a$$ again.  This time she got booted from a cruise to the beautiful Caribbean where she could have had a nice vacation, but instead she got kicked off the boat and escorted to the airport.  So what has happened to our beloved Foxy Brown, every few months she’s getting into trouble, making the news with her craziness or just plain saying something stupid.  Now afterward, she calls into Tom’s radio show I guess to make amends and starts crying on the air and such.  But then she went on a rant blasting Tom on Twitter, so I don’t know she starts acting crazy one minute, nice the next and then back to crazy.  No details on Foxy’s actions on the boat from Mr Joyner but I’m sure it had something to do with her mouth and liquor.  Oh well we may have to fill out a 730 I for to admit her to the nut house soon.

Da Brat being behind bars for the last 2 years for aggravated assault is free and now looking towards a comeback.  I sure hope for the sake of female rappers that she can make a comeback.  Her last effort in 2003 Limelight, Luv and Niteclubs, was very bland and her rap style sounded played.  She said while in jail she wasn’t motivate to write rhymes but did write some memoirs of her troubled childhood.  She said she has two and a half years of bullsh!t to talk about and she’s ready to get into the studio.  She has her good points and her bad points about her comeback.  Good point is that she has Jermaine Dupri backing her still, bad point is the Nicki Minaj syndrome.  People nowadays aren’t looking for skilled rappers but more like some plastic Lil Wayne wannabe.  Who knows, I hope she can come off hot and be a good edition to the female rappers out there, who are few.

DJ Megatr0n was shot dead near his home in Staten Island around 2am on Monday March 28th.  One shot to the torso of the 32 year old man from 106th and park fame.  Police have no witnesses, motive or any type of clue as to why he was shot.  Hope we don’t have another Biggie/Tupac fiasco where the killer is never found.  As sad and cynical as the song by KRS 1 is, “If you wanna get away with murder, kill a rapper,” there rings some truth to that.  Peace to Megatron, Corey McGriff, and his family.  His mother giving statements to the news was rightfully distraught.

Eminem had a leak of a record this week with a verse saying he sold more albums than Jay Z and Kanye West.  The single “I Get Money” was leaked over the internet sometime last weekend.  Check out this verse from the song.  “They keep on saying the same rappers are the best, Jay-Z and Kanye West/ Maybe they’re just trying to distract you from the fact that I’m coming back/ Or maybe it’s cause I ain’t black/ Maybe it’s because of that/ Maybe it’s because I’m the highest selling artist in rap.”  They say it wasn’t meant to be a dis to Kanye and Jay, but I don’t know, you particularly call someones name out and say you sell more records then them sounds like a dis to me….

Nicki Minaj is breaking records, 14 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard to 200 albums for Pink Friday. Congratulations to Nicki, that is amazing, mainly because I don’t think she raps that great, but I have to give her props though for being in the top 10 for so long. After going back and forth with Lil Kim regarding who’s the best rapper and hot many albums Kim sold on the internet. Seems like Nicki is winning the battle in that category but you should see album cover on Lil Kim’s album with Kim beheading Ms Minaj.

Just when Hip Hop is getting sad and depressing here comes come good old fashion realness.  Hip Hop lately has been plagued with falseness.  False breasts, rhymes, battles, rumors, record sales or whatever else is going on.  M1 is coming out with a new album soon, it’s been a while since we heard anything from from them.  2009′s Pulse of the People album was OK, but not great, but we’re used to getting great music from them.  From the sound of the first single played during the video, looks good for them!  Information Age by Dead Prez coming soon….
