Once again K Dot leaves out the glamour glitz for solid substance matter, speaking on how black america is being destroyed from within as well out. The King also more or less wages war on the the evils of hip hop as well as white america. The production is jazz/funk inspired, real mellow and chill at the same time though. The lead singles "i" and the "blacker the berry" are about as close to club tempo as your gonna get. He also leaves out the skits this time but instead uses a poem that increases a couple sentences after every song and is completed by the end of the album with a dope post death interview with Tupac....#DopeAf!!!
TPAB is an album youre either going to love or hate according to your taste. But all in all when it comes down to music this is a well put together album being nothing short of great. Originality, substance, clear message, nice production, I mean you can't really go wrong with that formula. I advise all K Dot fans to Purchase it as well as non K Dot fans who wanna know why Hes reffered to as "King Kendrick".

How To Pimp A Butterfly
Well worth the wait, To Pimp A Butterfly sets the bar for hip hop albums this year. After GKMC I was left a bit hungry, ultimately because Section .80 was sooo good to me. I can now say I'm fully satisfied for at least a year if not two!

Hip Hop Cant Die: As Told By A White Milf
Lately more than ever folk have been screaming that hip hop is dead, even with the current uprising of all the new pure hip hop artists like the TDE camp as well as Pro Era & a whole slew of others. I mean I pick up on what people are putting down, "mainstream" hip hop isn't real hip hop, but then again whose really to say.what's really hip hop. A friend of mine just passed this video along, and it breaks down the whole situation

Worst Hip Hop Rumors This Month
The internet is very much like the real world, with a high speed traveling system. If you wanted(& lots of folk actually do) you could just kick back in your house all day, working from home, as well as having eveything from education, to zebra meat delivered right to your front door. mc). Now with this ease of access to just about everything, it leaves me dumbfounded when I'm scrolling thru my social media notifications & see bogus stories on just about everything from celebrities to new species of animals. Now although a few(very veerry few) of these just happen to be true sometimes, I still find it super annoying, lazy, & a downright insult personally to bloggers & journalists everywhere when these stories are posted & actually taken seriously!!! I mean I get it, sometimes there seems to be countless days that fly by with no real leads or stories to keep your reader entertained but I still don't see it as an excuse to post some bullshyte that's going to be confirmed fake within 2 minutes of it being posted! Whats worse is the credit you lose as blogger/journalist/writer. Now again I know this type of "journalism" has been around since print publications were the only way to stay in tune with the entertainment world, but due to technology seems like it would've died out some but it seems to get worse everyday. The straw that broke the camels back for me was when I saw an article that said Ludicrous the rapper was dead! Of course the story was took down & deleted just as quick as it was posted but still its like how far will these mofos go for attention/traffic now-a-days. I decided to scan back a month to see the most ridiculous lies that internet could tell, here's just 5 of them, but...believe me (drake vc) there's plenty more where this came from.
I know folk joke about this all the time, but what blew me away with this one is that ehy actually went thru the trouble of creating a fake account to create 'gay confession' tweets or photoshopped his tweets, either way, thumbs up for trying to keep the authenticity.
There's no shame in this one at all. This mofo types up a police report that states 'verbatim' that the staff found a pair of long johns with blood on the seat(heh) belonging to Gucci Mane(they black out his name of course)...and thats just the tip of the iceberg
The title says it all.
Unless you're Encino Man then you've heard about the current riff between Birdman & his marquee act, Tunechi. In an effort to milk the situation for everything its worth this whimsical tale was created...Enjoy!
How messed up did you get to come up with this...this....f%ckery?! A conspiracy to steal 29 tons of McNuggets for personal use? I guess it would be a kick ass idea for an after-hours grub-spot.

TweetWars: Cudi vs Lupe Fiasco
Like any other typical blogger I spend my free time scrolling aimlessly thru different social media sites, not looking for anything in particular, just making sure I stay in tune with the digital world. Last night I found myself in for quite a treat when XXL Mag shared their latest story with me. Apparently Lupe Fiasco & Kid Cudi have been having indifferences for some months now going tit for tat via Twitter. By now almost everyone has heard Kendrick Lamar's statement about how he felt towards the events in Ferguson
and naturally(as with anything said by entertainers now-a-days) it rubbed alot of folk the wrong way, one being my boi Kid Cudi. After hearing/reading the comment, Cudi took to Twitter, tweeting:
"dear black artists, don't talk down on the black community like you are Gods gift to niggaz everywhere"
&
"If you wanna help, inspire, uplift, dont point the blame, and talk down".
Lupe Fiasco, (who says he's been trying to get at Cudi for some months now over a tweet about him being a swindler)
quickly sprang into action replying to Cudder's tweet with a few of his own, as well as a couple of pics that showed a less-conscious Wizard than we're used to seeing...
Now from the look of the tweets, you'd think that Lupe had won the battle for the day at least, but we all (should) know Wizards' are known to keep a trick or two up their sleeve. Instead of going back to the Twitter beef with anger & malice, Cudder combined his love & humor to create a tweet I found so funny I'll probably be laughing about it for the next couple of months:
Now if you don't find that the funniest tweet of 2015 so far you got some serious probz with your laugh box. I'm not sure if I find more humor in the Poope' Fiasco moniker or the way Cudi put the icing on the cake with the taunting "haha dweeb". Maybe I find it so funny cause I thought I was the only one who still used words like that & found them amusing. All in all though I hope they get past their differences and become acquaintences again, I'd love to hear some music from them as a duo...or imagine Cudi, K Dot, & Lupe all on one track...#Magical
