uo-front-its-the-real

With today being the Super Bowl of practical jokes of the year, deciphering what’s real and what’s not isn’t exactly the easiest task in the world. No worries. Jeff and Eric Rosenthal of It’s The Real set April Fools’ Day to release arguably their biggest comedic sketch yet in the form of their DJ Drama-hosted mixtape, Urbane Outfitters

Cypress Hill Music Video "It Ain't Nothin"

Does 40 Glocc have the right to sue after Game had him sprinting down a random street as if his middle name were Usain? Sure, maybe, I guess. Did he, in fact, get his ass beat by a man filming with an iPhone in one hand? Yep. Did I laugh? Hell yeah. Was it ignorant? Yes. But did I view it as karma for him running up on Wayne years back questioning his gang affiliations? Possibly. But I know one thing, Glocc best win his $4.5M lawsuit because his career as a rapper – a rapper who correlates his music to the street, at that – is officially on ice (as has been for a few years).

gucci-waka

Gucci Mane’s career the past eight months or so has been one blunder after another it seems. Remember the attempt to reignite the beef with Young Jeezy? Remember him attempting to call out every rapper from Atlanta for seemingly no reason at all? Remember 15-second name change from Gucci Mane to Guwop then back to Gucci mane? Then, maybe the most damming, remember the odd tweets explaining he dropped Waka Flocka from 1017 then deleted them and management claimed he was hacked? Well, according to Waka, regardless if his Twitter account was hacked, things just aren’t the same between the duo. And never will be.

According to Flocka, the tweet was far from hacked as it was basically an extension of an agressive convo the two had shortly before which nearly led to a physical altercation. “[It was] real aggressive [with] words like, ‘Nigga let’s get up. Let’s do this,’” said Waka to MTV.

Even going as far to tell MTV he would never work or associate with Gucci again, it is obvious the two had grown apart for several months now with Waka saying that while he “greeted fans,” Gucci punches them; alluding to the most recent charge of assault on a fan which currently has Guwop in an Atlanta jail at this very moment.

Witnessing the two dissolve ties isn’t all that surprising, especially in a genre than can kill friendships as quickly as it creates them. To hear Waka’s entire story of why the union has been severed forever and why the “disloyal” claims Radric threw Waka’s way stung him the most, click here.

1. Justin Timberlake – The 20/20 Experience – 968,000 - The most obvious #1 ranking since probably Adele’s 21. And you know what the scary thing is? This album hasn’t even begun truly releasing singles yet. I expect this album to be in the top 50 until fall. If not longer. Just wait until “Tunnel Vision” inevitably becomes a hit.

Power 106FM's CaliChristmas

Prior to Jason Terry being powerbombed through the TD Garden floor by LeBron James, much of the discussion on Twitter yesterday centered around Kendrick Lamar’s “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe (Remix)” featuring some marginally successful rapper/mogul/father/husband/minority owner of a NBA franchise/Beyonce’s husband/President Obama’s BFF you may heard of – Jay-Z. Talks of Jay being outclassed by Kendrick and, on the contrary, destroying his appearance (in a good way) were all anyone felt like arguing debating for at least a good two hours. While I didn’t participate for a variety of reasons (a proposal due here at work in a few days), the conversation forced me to put my thinking (fitted) cap on. Who else would’ve sounded dope alongside Kendrick?
