Q-Tip Blasts Mayor Bloomberg Over "40 Day"

Looks like Kamaal has taken his Twitter campaign to the 1515 Boys headquarters. And he’s not feelin’ Curtis not being allowed to perform in their old hood.

“50 Cent is a success story we all should applaud. However you feel about him, you can’t deny him. He had something going on in his old neighborhood — our old neighborhood, because I grew up there too. He wanted to perform there. He can have the benefit but he can’t perform.”

“I think that’s a shot to morale,” he continued. “It’s a shot to somebody’s morale, who’s 15 or 16 years old. That’s an impressionable soul who sees 50 Cent, how he’s not able to see him perform in a way. I think the [city's officials] are aware, but they think [50's] performance may cause rabble-rousing, or get people to act out. That’s just an old way of thinking about folk, especially black folk. That’s what it all boils down to, essentially.” 

Bet you Your Honor is a big Otis Redding fan. Ha!

Believe it or not, Lil Wayne isn’t the only rapper from Lousiana. Here, Boosie talks about putting on for his city and how local teenagers argue all day about who’s the best MCs. No Biggie, Jay-Z, and, Nas here.

To be honest, I loathe these teasers. It’s like getting to third base and not scoring. Blue ball, fail. With that said, here’s a snippet of Rae’s upcoming visual aid, “Walk Wit Me”. Wonder if  Sheek Louch makes a cameo.
