“I’ve had some trials that would have made the average motherfucker jump out a window a long time ago,” Jeezy had said earlier. “But if you wake up one morning and say, ‘I can’t do it no more,’ then it’s all over. That’s why I wake up every morning and say, let’s do this shit. Let’s get it.”

BILLBOARD: Jimmy Iovine has created a think tank of musicians and wealthy elderly Jewish men, who have decided to reshape what was once known as hip hop.
Iovine told Billboard: “Basically, I only care about money. I eat, sleep and dream this money shit. I’m rich already but I’d shoot my own mother for some more. We’re renaming this shit Ass Music. We will only sign artists who make various references to openly gay fashion designers. We will fool people into thinking gangsta rap is masculine, when in reality there a&r is probably gay, there stylist is gay and their attire is gay. Rick Ross will be the premier artist, with Big Sean & Danny Brown set to follow later this year.
Will I Am ” Yeah, all the beats are gonna be around 120 BPM, real ass shaking shit. Happy happy, synth based music.”
Birdman: Lyrics don’t matter playbwoy. If you ain’t rollin with the gay fashion houses, you don’t matter. Brrrr.
Jay-Z has shown his approval by threatening to blackball anyone using the word bitch in their music.
Kanye West is one of my top 3 favorite artists/musicians/ridiculous human beings! I’ve probably listened to about 85% of his career musical output and genuinely enjoyed most of them. Here is an attempt to name my favorite songs he’s done as an artist.
- Last Call
- Family Business
- Through the Wire
- Good Life ft. T-Pain
- All of the Lights ft. Kanye’s entire contact list
- Devil in a New Dress ft. Rick Ross
- Monster ft. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj
- Heartless
- Niggas in Paris
OK I realize that I’m horrible at ranking anything besides my couple favorites so that’s what I did. Although if this list is extended to “music Kanye has touched in some way”, then I’d put all of Ye’s work on Blueprint along with his brilliant rendition of Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s”.
Snoop Dogg completely murders Jim Jones’ “Ballin’” on Rap City! Repping his colors as he always does, Snoop revised the title to “Crippin’”. Best Snoop performance I’ve seen in ages.
Charlamagne tha God & DJ Envy of The Breakfast Club perform Katy Perry’s “T.G.I.F.”
Really glad I started listening to The Breakfast Club this year, they’re hilarious and have great chemistry between DJ Envy, Charlamagne and Angela Yee.
R. Kelly sings “I Believe I Can Fly” live on X Factor
The contestant does a respectable job, or so I thought, until R. Kelly strolls on in wearing a double breasted velvet blazer and Buddy Holly glasses. He proceeded to absolutely murder the performance throwing ad-libs in and everything.
Great song, great performance, great talent, great man
French Montana, Juicy J & Project Pat - Do It
Ill harpsichord on Project Pat’s verse!
Best Rap Industry Fan Fiction to date (and just in time for the holidays!):
“So it’s like Christmas, but for Jewish people.”
“What’s that?”
Drake shifted uncomfortably at the head of the Young Money/Cash Money conference room. His power point presentation was not going over very well. He had prepared slides with menorahs and dreidels and everything, though.
“Wait…
Some people put a lot of thought into their end of year lists, but I am definitely not one of them.

EDIT: Watch The Throne came in underwhelming to me naturally due to the hype surrounding the project and my absolute stan-ning of both stars’ individual careers. But it’s still a stronger project than most of the 2011 releases - “Niggas in Paris” is a top 3 singles this year.
