Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
You Played Yourself
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.
Too bad I’ve never heard it. Yeah, that’s right. Aside from a few tracks, I haven’t listened to So Far Gone in its entirety. In fact, I just downloaded it two days ago. Ask Crystal F, she sent me the Zip file.
To be honest, I think Aubrey’s hype dissuaded me from listening. From the Tweets to the streets, folks were championing him as if he was the best thing smokin’. I yawned when “The Best I Ever Had” leaked. Not to mention, I’m skeptical to cosign anyone that emerges so quickly from obscurity. Sorry, but I never heard or watched Degrassi.
So that brings me to today. And after my first listen, So Far Gone comes off as dope Adult Contemporary Hip-Hop. That’s not exactly my favorite brand vodka, but it goes down smooth nonetheless. Albeit the crooning, Drake’s wordplay is clever and witty. And hell, these days “The Best I Ever Had” definitely has my attention. Just as long as he leaves the Auto-Tune—and Blackberry’s at home, I’ll be sure to cop that blank disc.

Although my back hurts and these niggas didn’t go on til 1:45 am, YN really enjoyed the show last night. Mos Def and Talib Kweli were in top form with Black Star album tracks, freestyles over classic breaks, and their biggest solo joints. And yes I shot the whole fuckin’ thing. Mucho footage on the way.
