We had a whole lot of superstars on this stage here tonight. But this is… Papoose's house? We're all still reeling that the 20th anniversary of Hip-Hop's Super Bowl featured the Nacirema Dream as a headliner. Damn you Kendrick Lamar and your generous ways. Yeah it's hip-hop to bum rush the show but c'mon Pap you know you didn't deserve that look. And you gave even less fucks by performing a new song. C'mon fam. You've paid a lot of dues through the years but this was the big dawg time in the program. Don't disrespect the game in your pursuit for fame. Oh well, Brooklyn took it.
You Played Yourself
Speaking of BK, Fab had a master plan of bringing Lil Kim and Foxy Brown back together again. But when it was time to make history, Fox Boogie was nowhere to be found. Where was you at? Wack.

Wayne Brady was a guest on Shade 45 last week and before chucking the deuces, DJ Wonder put him through the 5 Fingers of Death. Quiet as kept, Brady’s rhymes are better than most rappers.
UPDATE: Brady was back on the show recently and did it again. He still got it.

This goes without saying, but Snoop is nice. Following his conversation with Sway, he cracked the mic with co-host Heather B over B.I.G.’s “Dead Wrong”. This is freestyle done right.
