<p><strong>WOW!</strong> Beans finally breaks his silence on the whole Roc/Jay-Z deal. All I can say is <strong>WOW!</strong> I know I have been accused of not liking Jay, I do, I just think that he&#8217;s a dirty dude. Well someone besides Dame finally lets us know that Hov is a shitty individual<span id="more-8939"></span>. Before ya&#8217;ll say that Beans is jealous and all that&#8230;remember <strong>HE DID DIRT</strong> <strong>FOR JAY</strong>. If Jay should keep it 100 with anyone..it should have been Beans. Listen to song and tell me what you think. ALOT of cats are starting to throw rocks at the throne&#8230;Jay might be due for one. I would love to see Jay involved in a rap battle. Maybe someone needs to do to him what he did to Nas? Wake his ass up and light that fire again. Why is it that all of Jay old running mates don&#8217;t mess with him anymore? Is it them or is it Jay? Hmmmm?</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Compared to Beans, you wack&#8221; &#8211; Esco</strong></em></p>

<p>I was recently listening to Nicki Minaj the other day when it hit me, “Where are all the Female MC’s?” It&#8217;s like the only ones you hear are Minaj, Khia, and&#8230;who? I know Hip-Hop has always been a male dominated industry, <span id="more-8850"></span>but there was always room for the female MC. Now it seems like there is no place for the female MC in the game. The female has always had a place in Hip-Hop. If you were a crew, you had to have a female. Roxanne was associated with the Juice Crew, Queen Latifah and Monie Love were part of the Native Tongue crew, Mrs. Melody was associated with BDP, to more present year acts like Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown, Eve, and even Trina. But now all it seems the only roles females are used for in Hip-Hop is EYE CANDY. Sad, I know.</p>
<p>Where did it all go wrong? Do we lay the blame on Lil’ Kim and Foxy for their raunchy lyrics that doomed all other females behind them? Because of them, artists that don’t push SEX aren’t even listened to by the mainstream listeners. You have some talented FemCee’s out there that don’t get any recognition because they aren’t sexy or even rap about their sexual exploits. Is that fair to them? I am guilty of not giving certain FemCee’s a chance because of their looks, but I think that is part of the brainwashing that Hip-Hop has underwent.</p>
<p>Going back to the place of FemCee’s, where would you put them? Since Hip-Hop is being dominated by the streets and thuggery, can a female rap about that and be believable? Or is it more of the same and they have to stick with the SEXY rhymes for them to be heard? I feel bad for the legitimate FemCee’s out there that want their music heard, but all we get is every chick wants to be a “Black Barbie”. Will the real FemCee’s please stand up? The game is missing you right now, and some positive “Ladies First” type songs might help out some of these younger girls that big rims, expensive clothes, and orgies are not the way to go.</p>

<p>I know this mixtape series came out last night, and believe this or not, but <a href="http://www.nappyafro.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/staff-beasy.jpg"><strong>B-Easy</strong></a> really wanted to do this. He didn&#8217;t want his name associated with it, so he passed it to me. I guess he didn&#8217;t want you guys to know that he is a closet Gucci Mane fan. Oh well<span id="more-8719"></span>, since he is scared to admit the truth, <strong>King Jerm</strong> will give the people what they want. How better to celebrate making<a href="http://www.nappyafro.com/2009/10/06/mtv%E2%80%99s-hottest-mc%E2%80%99s-in-the-game-videos/"> MTV&#8217;s 10 Hottest MC&#8217;s</a> list than to release a <strong>TRILOGY </strong>of mixtapes! <strong>WHO DOES THAT?</strong> Ya&#8217;ll might not like his music, but Gucci loves his fans and he gives them what they want. All I can say about this is&#8230;<strong>DOWNLOAD</strong>. Gucci may never come out with an official album, and if I was him,<strong> I WOULDN&#8217;T</strong>. You can&#8217;t transfer this type buzz over to album sales.</p>

<p><strong>Jay-Z</strong> needs to go ahead and follow his heart and divorce <strong>Beyonce</strong>. Yep, he needs to go after the woman that no man has been able to bag…<strong>OPRAH</strong>. Think about it, if Jay bags Oprah that would make him the <strong>LIVEST</strong> dude <strong>EVER</strong>! Oprah and her Billions are better than Beyonce and her Millions<span id="more-7632"></span>. Oprah needs some HOOD credibility and Jay is crossing 40 this year and he needs to get in that market. People wondered how Jay could top getting the “hottest chick in the game wearing his chain” now he can get one the “wealthiest chick in the world being his girl”. <a href="http://forums.nappyafro.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=835">Look at how comfy they looked in the pictures when they were in Marcy.</a> I bet you Jay has <strong>NEVER</strong> taken Bey to Marcy. Jay looks like the type that would want to be with an older woman anyway. I don’t think Beyonce holds deep conversations with him if you catch my drift.  He was walking around holding Oprah’s hand, smiling, they looked like a real comfortable. Unlike the awkwardness of his marriage, they actually <strong>LOOKED</strong> like a couple. Also, Beyonce has taken Jay as far as she can. If he gets with O…the possibilities are endless. Oprah has deep pockets and her followers are deeply loyal. Jay could actually get that label started that he has and he get those 40/40’s back up and running. So watch when Jay makes his appearance on the Oprah Show or O Magazine (good look on Jay’s part), look to see if he starts flirting. Oprah wants to unleash her inner COUGAR and Jay is ripe for the taking.</p>
<p><strong>Beyonce, you better watch out…Oprah is taking your man!</strong></p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know much about <strong>Mickey Factz</strong>, but over the weekend he was thrust in between the<strong> Joe Budden/Raekwon</strong> debacle. In case you didn&#8217;t hear over the weekend Joe got approached by Raekwon and about 5 of his goons. <span id="more-7511"></span>Allegedly it started off as convo, then all of a sudden Joe got caught in the eye. The reason why I&#8217;m calling out Mickey is for the Factz (pun intended) that he didn&#8217;t do anything at all! Not that I was expecting him to go in there and get all <strong>duffy</strong> on Rae and his clique&#8230;but you have to do something. I&#8217;m pretty sure Joe Budden is saying that he will <strong>NEVER</strong> hang solo with this guy again. I&#8217;m not really going to weigh my opinion on the situation because I think that both parties were wrong: Rae for letting him man swing on Joe. <strong>NOT A GOOD LOOK</strong>. You don&#8217;t get stripes by letting you man&#8217;s handle some of <strong>YOUR</strong> beef. Joe was talking about one of your Wu-Tang brothers, now unless that bodyguard was in the Wu, Rae is gonna have to take an <strong>L</strong> for this. On the otherhand, Mouse got showed some old school Hip-Hop tactics. People used to be held accountable for their actions in Hip-Hop. Nowadays people get on the internets and talk so flagrantly about so and so with no repercussions of their actions, well Joe found out that Raekwon is keeping that code in honor. Now back to Mickey, I saw this video of him telling <strong>HIS</strong> side of the story. <strong>NIGGA I&#8217;M SURE JOEY&#8217;S EYE DON&#8217;T WANT TO HEAR THIS</strong>. I want you guys to look at the video and tell me is this a guy that you want to have your &#8220;back&#8221;. Yeah, I know he is a skinny dude but the skinny niggas I hang around at least keep a 4-5 inch blade that they don&#8217;t hesitate to use. Mickey you better hit the weightroom or holler at <strong>B-Easy</strong> and see where he gets his blades from.</p>
<p><strong>For these actions by Mickey Factz, I have to BAN this nigga!</strong></p>

<p>To be the best you have to battle the best. Eminem has<strong> ZERO</strong> rap battles under his belt. Everlast you say. <strong>EVERLAST</strong>? Even if we do count that one, where does that battle rank on your all time list? If he would have battled Everlast in 93-94 when <strong>House of Pain</strong> was popping, that would have been different. He took on a rapper turned country singer! Look at the list of people that Marshall has had public beefs with: <strong>Brittney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Elton John, Moby, Fred Durst, NSync, Backstreet Boys, Insane Clown Posse, <a href="http://www.nappyafro.com/2009/07/30/the-warning-eminem-mariah-careynick-cannon-diss/">Mariah Carey</a>, <a href="http://www.nappyafro.com/2009/07/30/the-warning-eminem-mariah-careynick-cannon-diss/">Nick Cannon</a>, Nelly, Benzino, the Source, and XXL.</strong> Don&#8217;t say <strong>Ja Rule </strong>either, that was a pile on and Eminem just jumped on top of it. Look at the list and show me some real competition. To be the man you have to beat the man, and by the looks of it Eminem likes taking shots at women.</p>
<p>I know some of you can&#8217;t wait to get to the end of this to call me everything <strong>EXCEPT</strong> King Jerm, but think about it, what makes Eminem so special? If he was a black rapper with the same exact lyrics, he would be <strong>CANIBUS</strong>. No one would care about him and he never would have been this successful. If you don&#8217;t think that his complexion has anything to do with it&#8230;you are <strong>CRAZY</strong>. Who would listen to a rapper talk ill of his mom, rap about abusing drugs, and killing people? <strong>NOBODY.</strong> The man has skills but I don&#8217;t see the big deal. Most rappers are battletested, Marshall isn&#8217;t, so let his record reflect that. <strong>He IS NOT and WILL NOT be the GOAT. </strong></p>

<p><strong>Wow.</strong> I mean when you are a married man and someone goes in on your wife&#8230;you have to say something. Now I know that Nick Cannon is not a formidable opponent for Marshall, but Nick did kind of throw gasoline on the fire. <span id="more-7353"></span>Shady and all of his antics are back on this one, and it looks like he&#8217;s taking a page from his <a href="http://www.nappyafro.com/update/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/curtisjackson.jpg">lablemate</a> here. &#8220;The Warning&#8221; is a fun track, but it does GO IN on Mr. &amp; Mrs. Mariah Carey. All I have to say after hearing this one is that Nick better go and get a good ghostwriter for this one. You check it out for yourself. Why didn&#8217;t your boy Marshall go in on Ross? Scared?</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know if you guys know this or not but, <strong>B-Easy</strong> is away for a week (allegedly sick) but from what I heard it went down like this&#8230;<strong>2 PIECE &amp; A BISCUIT</strong>. I&#8217;m not talking about <strong>Popeyes&#8217;</strong> neither! Since he is gone I can almost<span id="more-7276"></span> guarantee no mentions of that guy from Marcy, unless <strong>H2O</strong> shows his true colors. Judging by his <a href="http://www.nappyafro.com/2009/07/24/jay-z-feat-kanye-west-rihanna-run-this-town/">comments about the latest song leaked from <em>Blueprint 3</em></a>, I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll make sure the streak stays alive. We received an email from the Aphilliates Management that had a nice song attached by <strong>Willie the Kid</strong>. I&#8217;m going to be honest, I don&#8217;t check for WTK, but I listened to the track and I liked it. I remember WTK having some issues with Weezy, and being a Wayne fan, I took his side. I guess I have to give the guy a second chance now. This song if off his upcoming mixtape <em>The Fly</em>. Props to Johnathan Jelks for dropping this one off. Hope you guys like it.</p>

DJ Khaled is at the beginning talking about &#8220;Maybach Music 3&#8243; is on the way&#8230;who could possibly be on that one? Call me crazy, but I think Rawse had the best verse.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6982" title="rapper-the-game-070514" src="http://www.nappyafro.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/rapper-the-game-070514.jpg" alt="rapper-the-game-070514" width="290" height="200" /></p>
<p>By now, you have probably heard <strong>The Game</strong> go at <strong>Jay-Z</strong> pretty hard in a freestyle in Madrid, Spain..if not, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDe0cMmG2Os">check out the video</a>. The Game taking shots at Jigga isn&#8217;t a new thing, he does it from time to time,<span id="more-6981"></span> but <strong>ALWAYS</strong> takes it back after throwing a jab or two. So with this latest attack I am skeptical about drinking the kool-aid. Let&#8217;s face it, the Game can match bars with Jay. There is no question about that, if you deny it, you are lying to yourself. If Game would go at Jay with the same tenacity that he went at <strong>Bleek</strong>, <strong>Budden</strong>, <strong>Ja</strong>, and <strong>50</strong> with, he might can lay the old man down. The time is now, Jay is ripe for the picking. It is time for one of these new school cats challenge Jay and win. The Game might be the one to do it. <strong>The old guard must pass it on to the next generation</strong>.</p>
<p>My questions to Game: <strong>ARE YOU FOR REAL THIS TIME</strong>? By the time I post this I hope you have not  issued an apology and said that you was just playing to the crowd and didn&#8217;t really mean it. You did call out the man wife..so I&#8217;m expecting Jay to really have something for your ass in the next week or so. <strong>BE READY</strong>. Second question: <strong>WHY DO YOU DO MOST OF YOUR DISSES OVERSEAS</strong>? What&#8217;s up with that? You talking greasy in Europe, but when you get back stateside, you make it seem like you was just &#8220;messing around&#8221;. When you get back home, can we expect more disses?</p>
<p>So Game, if you are going to do it&#8230;<strong>GO ALL THE WAY IN. (PAUSE)</strong> Make history, this could be one of the best lyrical battles in a minute. Do it for all those that came before you but came up short. Do it for <strong>Jaz-O</strong>, who simply was upset because the dude he brought in the game became <strong>WAY</strong> more successful than him. Do it for <strong>Prodigy</strong>, while I know you and him aren&#8217;t like that anymore, but do it because he put pictures of a &#8220;gangsta&#8221; rapper in a ballerina suit. Do it for <strong>Nas</strong>, who was involved in a <strong>CLASSIC</strong> battle with Jigga,and (depending on who you ask) beat him and to turn around and kiss his ring like Superman did <strong>Lord Zod</strong> and <strong>WORK</strong> for him! Do it for <strong>Dame</strong>. No explanation needed on this one.</p>
<p>I would love to see these two go back and forth..could be <strong>EPIC</strong>, as long as The Game is serious and Jay takes the bait. <strong>WE SHALL SEE! </strong></p>
