Rappers Kaine and D-Roc of Atlanta based duo the Ying Yang Twins are scheduled to appear on an upcoming episode of the Dr. Phil talk show to debate a recent campaign to put an end to saggy jeans.

A search of the bus turned up 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and ecstacy believed to be in Carter's possession, Sanchez said.

Carter, also known as "Weezy," performs both rap and hip hop and is known for his mixtapes, in which he blends pre-recorded beats with an uninterrupted, unrehearsed flow of rap lyrics.

Fans of his in Yuma expressed shock over news of his arrest in Yuma County, although not necessarily over the fact of arrest.

"That's so crazy, I can't believe he's in Yuma," said fan, Laura Garcia." I love his music - I just love him. He's really fan- based and I like his voice when he flows. I'm not shocked he was arrested for drugs, I 'm just shocked he was in Yuma. I mean, what was he doing here?"

Twenty-four-year-old Britton Bowns wasn't surprised by the southern rapper's arrest.

"It's like whatever, he's not the first rapper to be busted. I dig his mixtape stuff and the tracks 'Sky's the Limit', 'Mo' Fire' and the 'Drought III' album is off the hinges," Bowns said.

"I've been listening to him since he dropped his solo stuff in '99 when he was like 16. He's one of the sickest lyricist I've heard. When he was on 'The Basement' on BET he did a free-style rap, acapella and tore the roof off."

britton browns sounds like a good dude

Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah recently delivered an blunt message via YouTube to fans to stop downloading his new album, The Big Doe Rehab.

In a video message posted on his MySpace page, Ghostface bluntly spells out his disappointment over the meager performance of his latest album , which hit stores in early December, blaming illegal downloads for the source of poor sales:

"I got 115,000 friends on MySpace and I get 30,000 (copies sold) in the first week -- that's not good. I know a lot of y'all got (the album) but you downloaded it."

Fan responses, posted to Ghostface's MySpace page and below the YouTube video, range from supportive well-wishers to blatant, unapologetic admissions of guilt.

After a final appeal urging fans to purchase the album, Ghostface promises special attention to fans willing to fork over the cash:

"Bring the CD to the show and I'll kick it with y'all."

weezy mean mug = b+

looks more "put-upon" than "hardman"

Does anyone know if the Fat Joe/Diddy remake of "Party All The Time" will surface or did it get scrapped? I heard that it won't be on the album but I would be seriously disappointed if the world never had the chance to hear this potential masterpiece.

ROLL WITH THE MAFIA SIX
AND WE AINT BOUT THAT BULLSHIT

eMC album is great.

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/mixtape/id.353/title.re-up-gang-we-got-it-4-cheap-v-3

nah right has download link

i think hoos and i are probably the only ppl really fucking w/ this though

m@tt and whiney too i guess

i like clipse!

ethan and deej hate them i guess?

i dunno, i think they are good rappers, i actually like the mixtapes better than the albums cuz i like them going off other ppl's beats besides neptunes...

i didn't see the DL link on nah right? is it on the front page?

http://nahright.com/news/2008/02/04/we-just-think-we-better/

it's in there

yeah i remember you reviving the wg4c 2 thread. i think ethan/deej/al/rev(?) think they're garbage though

fyi a few songs on there are mislabeled. switch the one called "good morning" w/ the one that has the actual "good morning" beat. same for "roc boys". those are the only ones i caught though.

sweet got it

i like clipse

i like clipse (sometimes)

still so embarassed at how amped i was about hhnf. luster wore off after about a week, but i'd already called it my #1 cause i suck at the teat of hype.

but i will listen to this and probably like it.

but hey at least i haven't posted on that vampire weekend thread

clipse are good, the hype far far outweighs everything tho ... they are not the second coming of epmd or something

the whole idea that they released THE BEST RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR ISNT IT CRAZY HOW MUCH BETTER THIS IS THAN 99% OF RAP??? is what's so absurd about everything. I enjoyed a bunch of the tracks on their second album, but the whole overanalysis of their lyrics, everyone picking apart generic references to bapes, it just got really ridiculous

srsly tho when is the second coming of epmd

lol yeah deej otm esp. since theyre basically just punchline rappers who know a lot of words that mean coke

i mean at least with cannibal ox, they sounded different than 99% of rap ... not better, but it made more sense that people would rally around it

I think what was the most frustrating thing about The Great Clipse Herb-A-Thon 2006 for me was that their first album was, like, way better and no one gave a shit

I do love me some Clipse tho. But I wouldn't want to admit it in the presence of corny indie fuxx0rs

my biggest problems w/ hhnf is a. it was narrow b. it was no fun c. the beats sucked some balls. no "virginia" no "young boy" no "when the last time" no "cot damn" and the list goes on and on.

my fave part of the whole hype was def the "skeletal, minimal beats match their stark, unforgiving lyrics". i mean lofuckingl

What do you mean by "narrow"?

my fave part of the whole hype was def the "skeletal, minimal beats match their stark, unforgiving lyrics". i mean lofuckingl

yeah i LIKE hell hath, but jeez no to be all sick mouthy on the tip but the mastering was hellishly harsh, and the beats were already harsh to begin with, i think that more than anything made it not have legs for me.

like i said above i like the mixtapes just to hear them go hard over other people's beats....like "Cry Now" off the new tape is probably better than most of hell hath..

...but yeah honestly i always imagined if lord willin' had disappeared and they never got the p-fork hype, ethan would be posting shit from "what happened to that boy" with "^^^^^^^the realest" after it

fyi i still jam lord willin herb-a-thon or no

rev:

focus wise. it's probably my fault for being tired of coke-talk after listening to hhnf, but on lord willin at least a lot of that stuff was framed in a larger narrative ("young boy" about selling coke as a come up, "virginia" in relation to the state [even though they don't really talk about themselves all that much in the song]). and i respect their "we got fucked over and our lives sucked and we had to sell coke so we cut out all the fun songs" (i.e. a "when the last time" which is just a great song about going to the club, but widens the focus of the album) thing but it didn't work for me.
