No Unplugged. Keep your fingers crossed.

YN Editorial: Hate Me Now

Thursday, April 22 2010 4:16 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, YN Blackout

Dear Kelis,

They hate you so much right now. The hip-hop community. If Solar is Satan, you’re the Wicked Witch Of Rap. Shit, you even had Just Blaze talkin’ crazy about you and he’s genuinely a nice guy. I’m gonna say this directly to you, what’s on the mind of most hip-hop heads: Why must you destroy our icon? The mighty Nasir Jones. You must like his pockets flat not fat. I don’t wanna be all up in your business but I don’t really think he can afford them crazy payments these L.A. judges keep dishin’ out like Stockton. You got son in a Sgt. Slaughter cobra clutch and you won’t let go. Y’all need a resolution. Please be reasonable, boo.

You seem like you’ve moved on yourself. I checked you out last night at Santos. Tracy invited me. You was dolled up and diva’d out. The Queen B of your intimate fab world. I felt like an outsider. Most of the songs you performed were from your upcoming album so I was lost like the TV show Minya Oh loves. The couple of thousand dollar lesbians around me seemed to be havin’ a good time though to your dance grooves. As for a colleague of mine? Not so much. I reckon you might wanna avoid the paper of record. Oops.

Anyhoo, you looked like you were havin’ as much fun as the crowd. And you looked good, girl. Baby fat—bye bye. No Kimora. And are those new boobies? I know. None of my biz. But inquiring minds wanna know: Do you think people are gonna give your new sound a fair shake when the TMZ clouds hang over your daily operation? Closure is the key to end all your woes. And I hope you truly get it.

Truth be told, I’m more Team Kelis than I hate to admit. Shit I watch flicks and root for the bad guy. I know what it’s like to not be liked. I’m about to make a powermove myself that’s gonna be unpopular and piss off many so I can relate. So I’m sure you’ll weather the storm. Don’t ever doubt yourself, Ms. Rogers. There’s a mirror in your bathroom so go stand in front of it. Say it with me: Yes I can. With Will.I.Am.

Air smooches,

YN

P.S. That “Milkshake”/Madonna mash-up was kinda tight. Future bright!

Parents Upset T.I. Spoke To Kids

Thursday, April 22 2010 4:09 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Last month, T.I. visited Woodland Middle School in Henry County, GA . Unfortunately, not everyone was happy he was there. According to WSBTV, several parents are upset that the rapper was featured as a guest speaker. One of the parents wrote an email letter to the principal, Dr. Terry Oatts stating:

“In the future, if T.I. or any other convicted felon needs to perform community service, ask for parental permission to allow our children to be exposed to these questionable individuals,”

In the rapper’s defense, Oatts responded:

“I thought about asking a guy who snorted cocaine and got arrested for DUI when he was 30 to come and speak to our kids, but President George W. Bush was not available.”

Travis adds a few kicks and snares to the remix to Game’s “Shake”. In a recent interview with Rap-Up, Chuck says that he shot the video for the song in Dr. Dre’s crib without his consent. Better be prepared for a shakedown.
