I Hate You, Papoose

So a while back, I posted some things to the effect of Papoose not being the worst rapper ever. Now that I've heard his new single 300 times in 2 days on hot 97, I retract all of those statements. I will now be adhering to my original assertion, that Papoose is the worst thing to ever happen to hip-hop. Snoop Dogg is doing himself no favors with this collabo. Also, Scott Storch is wack.

get it???

"Bang it Out" feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg by Papoose

I always jump the gun on these things

I need to calm my trigger finger, because now that I spoke too soon I can't stop listening to that stupid Papoose song.

It's still stupid. Number 4 comes never, I'm going to bed.

Oh and this is an example of one of the steps in the transition from hippie to yuppie. Ya know, starting to finish college.

Hippies should just stay like this.

Anybody remember a little while back when I said I was starting to come around regarding Papoose?

"Friend Request" by Papoose

Yeah, forget it. Honestly, I know I'm from the suburbs, but even I'm pretty sure that you get your ghetto pass revoked when you rap about computer networking. What would the Weird Al Parody be for this? Would he just talk about selling coke? It's too bad, cuz the beat is kind of awesome, but I really don't need Papoose telling me "Tom is a Genius!"

One other thing, I was in the bronx today, like 2 blocks from my job, and I heard someone speaking spanish with a chinese accent. I could understand and everything, it was definitely spanish, but they were just speaking with all that intense inflection that chinese has. It sounded almost as crazy as

"Up Your Speed" Remix feat. Chamillionaire by Sway

The idea of a US/UK hip hop crossover makes me tingly, of course, but this really wasn't what I had in mind. Did Sway actually say to himself, "Hmmm, what would make this little derek b-side better? I'm really liking this double album that consists entirely of Mike Jones and Paul Wall disses, so maybe I should call up Chamillionaire and see if he wants to have a spot of tea." I hope he said the spot of tea part. I want there to be an election for new ambassadors of hip hop to the UK. Rhymefest and Chamillionaire have got to go. I vote Q-Tip.

#4 on my influential albums list coming tonight. Stay Tuned!

I can't believe I'm starting to like Papoose

So the recently released DJ Hi-Tek track "New York" is nice. The forthcoming album definitely makes October 17th something to look forward to.

"Where It Started (New York)" feat. Jadakiss, Papoose, Talib Kweli and Raekwon the Chef

What is not nice, is the cutting of Raekwon from the music video. Now I don't know if this is the way the video is going to be released or if this was just the folks at sohh.com cutting it down, or if there was a legal issue or what. Either way, it's lame. Sure the overexposure that he and his Wu brothers get here might make up for it, but it's still an injustice.
