::John Brown - Ain’t No Future in Yo Frontin’ (Game Diss)

This is shaping up to be an interesting scenario.

King of the Burbs vs. Prince of the West.

Joe Budden and Gloria Velez once boasted about each other’s bed prowess in public.
Now, Velez is saying he’s a little boy and a woman beater. Then she goes on to say
that “he’s not really hanging anyway.” Is it just me or do women always use that
line after a bitter breakup?

Buddie, a member of the grammatically challenged rap group Dem Franchize Boys had some harsh words for Nas in a recent interview. DFB’s has a single in rotation dubbed “Talkin Out da Side of Ya Neck” and Buddie was asked to name one person who’s been doing the most talking lately.

I can’t really point no fingers, but Nas did name his album ‘Hip Hop Is Dead’, and I feel like, I could never speak with Nas on a one-on-one basis to see why he named it or how he really felt towards it. But, the people who say hip hop is dead, and Franchize is part to blame, I feel they’re just talkin’ nonsense. Like I say, if you ain’t talkin’ ‘bout no money, man, we ain’t even really tryin’ to hear you, so just keep your words to yourself.

Clearly, Buddie is talking out the side of his own neck. Someone needs to remind him that the issue of Hip-Hop Is Dead is so 1996 at this point.

“I’m gon’ Ether her like Nas did Hova when I see her/Then come back like Hov and Takeover when I see her”

It’s not a diss song, it’s just a real song. Kim, you better run and go hire a bodyguard; Remy has a reputation for being a sharp-shooter.

I wonder how much Boo Boo paid him to bite the finger that fed him.

Looks like producer J Wells has a bone to pick with one of Dr. Dre’s boys. Oh, if you didn’t know about J Wells or Bishop Lamont before, now you do.

Ne-Yo tells Big Tigger the real reason he got booted from R.Kelly’s tour.

The PR spin, as reported by several media outlets, was that R.Kelly and Ne-Yo were having contractual disagreements. Ne-Yo says that’s bullsh*t. The reality is that R.Kelly took over all the dressing rooms and gave a mandate that no one should be in the hallway whenever he’s walking by. Not to mention cutting down on Ne-Yo’s rehearsal time.

Has the pedophile lost his mind or what?

I have nothing short of respect for uncle Todd (unlike Jim Jones, I don’t disrespect my elders). After all, LL is still No.1 on longevity. But longevity doesn’t sell records or earn you trophies in today’s battleground.

It wasn’t enough to blame Jay-Z for his last album, which tanked heavily, Cool J is now getting all emotional over Jay’s “billy the goat” line from “I Get Money (Forbes 1,2,3 Remix).”

Maybe someone needs to remind uncle Todd that:

1) While he’s definitely in the upper echelons, no one outside of his immediate family really bought into that GOAT claim
2) This isn’t 1987. That was 20 years ago.
3) Jay-Z is no Canibus. Not only is Hov ahead of today’s LL in all the vital categories (except longevity, of course), he’s also become a big enchilada in the game. So, blackballing Jay like he did ‘Bis is definitely not an option in 2007.

In any case, this should be an exciting one, assuming Jay agrees to play. He’s been reluctant about responding to shots lately.

Some of Mobb Deep’s weed carriers chased Saigon all the way out of the club. Sai, who was clearly outnumbered, finally escaped in a car. Pure comedy.

Update:
I was feeling sorry for Saigon after watching that initial video of him getting snuffed by 30 Mobb Deep weed carriers last night. But now that I’ve seen a different version of the footage and heard Sai’s side of the story it’s obvious that Prodigy took a major L in that scuffle.

On a MySpace blog entry titled “I Finally Got Prodigy,” Saigiddy had this to say:

Uh-oh, Esco is now threatening to go Hannibal Lecter on Bill O’Reilly. MTV decided to run some more classic quotes from the interview in which Nazz addressed O’Wiley prior to his VA Tech concert.

“I will tell him I’m an American psycho, I’m his worst nightmare. “They Shootin’ ” is just the beginning.

I don’t downplay nothing, that’s who I am. When he wants to come holla at me, be ready for Hannibal Lecter. He don’t deserve an intelligent explanation. I’ll bite his nose off! He wants to talk to me like a animal? I will be — but only to him. With everybody else I’ll be a gentleman, including his wife. That’s right — I’m crazy. That’s how we should be to him. He isn’t here to help us, and we don’t need his help.” [Full Story: MTV]

Is he back on the crack pipe or something?
