Rappers Are Liars: The Fat Boys Edition

First, Bishop tries to pull the wool over B.Dot’s eyes, and now even the legendary MCs are gettin’ their fib on. I just came across this:

“Man, you know it was like two decades since I been in the game. To get in the studio and do a track with Jay-Z on it was a great feeling man,” Kool Rock told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. “That’s right, me and Jay was laughing about his line ‘First the Fat Boys break-up’ [from the track ‘Heart of the City‘] and he was really happy to see we back [again]!”

Big nigga please. As you’ll hear below, he basically sampled Hov’s vocals from “Izzo” that’s not a collabo—that’s a rich nigga lettin’ you eat. Respect Carter.

“We Can Talk”

How could I let the day slip by without posting the latest clip from the Rosenthal Bros? Shame on me. This week Eric and Jeff swap their favorite hip-hop trading cards.
 
“Tell you what. I have a really old LL Cool J that I’ll throw in just to sweeten the deal.
Wait, this is from last year.
 
Yeah, I know.

Bow Wow Announces Retirement

In the clip, Lil Bow Weezy tells Nigel D that New Jack City II is his final album. Hmm, news to me. Now, we all know YN defecates on Shad, but ya can’t front on the lil’ guy: Sold out tours, films, Arsenio Hall, Doggystyle appearance? Not bad. *tips durag* Adios amigos. But you’ll be back. I’ve seen this movie before.

Update: Charles Hamilton Is Not Wale's Nigga

Monday, April 13 2009 4:02 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Focus
 
At a recent gig in Atlanta, Whale Wale gives a roll call of his “niggas” in the biz. When he mentions Dukie’s name at the 1:20 mark, he says the following:
 
“Charles Hamilton. That’s not my nigga. Any real nigga, don’t run behind your back and say some bullshit. Especially if he know you gon check him not check him on a record. It’s ok, we all young rappers growing up.”
 
In case you forgot, these guys tried to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes on April’s Fools Day. But, I’m not buying it.
 
Update: Dukie responds: 
“I’m not his n1gga. And? He didn’t diss me… besides, I think this is

the show he was telling me about… or was it the show where in a

freestyle he said “F*ck Charles Hamilton”? I don’t know/care. if its an

issue, I’m sure as vocal as Wale is, we’ll hear about it. I mean, other

rappers did entire interviews thoroughly explaining their issue with

me. Then again, they got ignored, too. Damn. When I go fishing for a

shark, I end up with tadpoles at the end of my fishing rod. Shucks…

oh well… Until the next time I speak to Wale, this gets filed under

“TheShruggingShoulders”…

CANNON!!!

~~Charles Hamilton~~
***beep***”

 
The fuck?
