Nicki & Who Else?


            
As we all know Twitter is the land where normal people seem famous and famous people seem normal. A couple of weeks ago Nicki Minaj got tight because her fans were defending a fan site that posted download links of her 2nd album. Nicki deleted her twitter and all was lost in twitterville.  Eventually Nicki came back to twitter, but it made me think, “Once her light burns out, who will fill the void?” At the time of the hissy fit I thought it would be the perfect time for a femcee to step out of Nicki’s shadow and throw some rocks at her throne, but nothing. How do you just turn your back on the people who made you, especially when your income and livelihood depends on it? Smh. Fame is a beautiful drug, but still a drug nonetheless.



            So who else is on Nicki’s heels? *Crickets Iggzackly!!! Why hasn’t there been any successful female emcee’s since Lil Kim, Foxy, Queen Latifah, and Lauryn Hill? And I don’t even know why I put Lauryn Hill on the list, yes Miseducation was great, but that was one hot album. Since then she has not released anything remotely close to that album. Lady Luck and Remy Ma had a spark, but then nothing. I know HipHop is a male dominated genre, but the past “femcees” I listed broke in to the game with their own unique style. Thought I forgot about the pitbull in a skirt? Nah. Eve was the one that I knew would keep going strong, she could make a hot song with classy sex appeal, but also trade bars with the best of the best (RR). Eve knew how to make a hit, but then POOF. Vanished. Last time I saw Eve she was hugged up on some rich Caucasian guy, but do whatever you can to keep the lights on.


            Nicki is in a lane all by herself, that’s why she has so many fans and supporters. That’s the reason she can turn her back on those who made her and not lose an ounce of sleep. This really just irks me because it means the world to me when someone tells me that they like a song we (B.O.M.B.) have made or quote a lyric from one of our songs. You have to give back to those that support you and those that are fans. “You niggas got some audacity.”-B.I.G.


            I believe in opportunities and striking at the perfect time. That whole Nicki fiasco on twitter was perfect for a femcee to step in and take over. Remember when the Westcoast was running rap, then Diddy, Craig Mack, and Biggie said fuck that let’s show em how it’s done on the East. It didn’t end well for them except for Diddy, I see you topping the HipHop cash cow Forbes list. B.I.G. is followed by R.I.P. Craig Mack joined a Christian cult. (Yes, just youtube Craig Mack & Cult) Another situation where MC’s stepped in and stepped up during a huge event was Jay-Z & Nas once BIG and Pac died. “Seems like New York’s been soft, since Snoop came through and crushed the buildings, I’m tryna restore the feeling…”-Jigga Jay stepped up his commercial appeal and became arguably the greatest rapper of all time. Once Jay “retired” what did Dwayne Carter do? He stepped in and claimed he was, “The greatest rapper alive, since the greatest rapper retired.” Wayne linked up with DJ Drama and dropped some of the hottest music HipHop has ever heard. Those drought mixtapes put Weezy F. (still don’t know what the F is for) Baby in a lot of people’s top 5 MC’s list.  Drake took over the Kanye backpack crowd at FIRST when Kanye was mourning and dropped 808’s & Heartbreaks. So ladies keep that 16 ready for when the opportunity presents itself.  I guarantee it’ll present itself soon. Y’all heard all that damn singing on Nicki’s second album she’s coming for Lady GaGa(14:59:59) รง see what I did there 15min of fame and Katy Perry’s spot in pop(popular) music.



            My advice to the ladies who want to break in to HipHop as MC’s is this: Know how to make a hot song, relate to the ladies(kick that fly shit about heauxs being jealous of you, love, romance, party n bullshit, being fly), look damn good doing it for the fellas(if the ladies are dancing to it and your looking good rhyming we buying), be yourself you can only have a gimmick for so long, do not become a  knockoff of past femcee’s (it’s ok to be influenced by them, but don’t become them), & most importantly that video vixen to MC transition is not a good look, yo. Awww yeah and don’t give up remember someone is always listening. No plan B’s when you chase your destiny- Me.


            And before anyone gives me hell about not mentioning Missy, Miss E., Missy Misdemeanor Elliot, chill. She’s something waaaaaay more than a femcee. That’s creativity at it’s finest. I wouldn’t dare categorize someone who’s that damn futuristic.  And the Lil Kim/Nicki beef didn’t get touched because the general populations fuck meter was in the negative.

            Y’all be cool and even cooler once you follow me on twitter @abeezy17, I might start doing podcast real soon so be on the look out for that, yo. Peace.

No Church In The Social Network Society



   Yo, what’s good it’s ya boy abeezy, AB, Double, Adrian, but let me chill with the names. I was gonna kick some ish about twitter etiquette, but it’s apparent that the etiquette needs to be kicked for all social networking sites, fam. So I’m gonna kick each social networking site separately, for the slow and for those that feel like I’m not talking to them and just want to be entertained.

          
            Facebook:

            This cesspool is about to reach a billion users, fam. I swear once they opened FB up to the Junior High drop outs all hell broke loose. Niggas is e-thugging all over Facebook. You got TaQuan “FukBkloodzCuhz” Watts, Lataqina “IgetsStoopidPapuh” Brown, Jennifer “Ni99azAintShitSoIplayEm” Jackson, and Twan “MunnyOvaBitchesPushinWaitLikeScarface” Jones. Cut. That. Shit. Out. I and the rest of the Facebook world just laugh at you. Y’all know that employers are now searching FB whenever you fill out an application for employment. What the f*ck am I thinking?! Niggas aint tryna get a job with names like that…silly negro, my bad. Still most of yall got mama’s in their early 30’s who are on FB also, so make her proud and take that monkey sh*t down, you embarrassing her.

            These profile pix, fam, bruh, nigga. Fellas, I understand you getting “paypuh”, but chill with the Chinese fan of 20’s . Bruh Bruh it’s $160 you holding, if bitches falling for that…ask ya self what happens when those 8 20’s run out? Also the pistol pix ain’t doing sh*t but making you a target for the police department, same goes for the weed/xtc/coke pix. Heauxs yall gotta chill with the head tilt duck lips in the bathroom toothpaste stained mirror pix. I don’t care how many “likes” you have on the pic, most of them are pity likes or likes cause desperados heard that you were easy, yo. The posse pix will put you in a bad position if ya girlfriends are waaaaaay sexier than you. You’ll have a million “likes” and a billion comments like “Aye who’s shorty in the jersey dress and Jordan XI heels, ma?” “What’s ol girl on the left in the Jeggings and old navy flip flops with the Citi trends tube top?” Ladies take that pic down as ya profile pic cause niggas like me be thrown off once we send that friend request and see who you really are in ya other pix. Delete Friend? Yes. F*ck Yes.

            Fellas, if she has nothing but close up pix or pix from the neck up, 9/10 she built like a lawn bag full of leaves and twigs, yo.

            Y’all do know that there is a notes link on FB when y’all feel like Clarissa explains it all…so chill the f*ck out with the status updates containing “Read More” links. I don’t give a f*ck and given the amount of likes and comments ya real friends don’t give a flying Sandusky (see what I did there) either. I know ya thumbs are hurting punching ya boost mobile keypad that much. It’s ok to vent…just not on social networking sites…f*ck outta here with that sh*t, yo.

            Relationships are dangerous on FB, every time I see LaJuana “ScorpiosAreThaShiznit” Banks is in a relationship with BigBlood “Tyrelle Johnson” Suwoooh, I think to myself, “This sh*t gonna last 3months top”. AAAAAAAaaand what happens BigBlood banging out fat back chicks behind LaJuana’s back. How did he meet those chicks? Facebook. Whenever ya relationship change niggas, bitches, coons, coonettes, and whoever else start flooding ya inbox on some sabotage sh*t. Don’t put ya relationship troubles/accomplishments out on FB. Jealousy and Envy runs strong with the single.

            If you see me online don’t hit me up when you don’t have anything to talk about.  Hey. Hey. What you doing? Nada, You. Sh*t just seeing what you doing. Adrian is no longer online…f*ck outta here.

            Chill with the numerous youtube post of romantic heart break songs, you going through it, I get it, but I also don’t wanna go through it. Chill. Please.

            I don’t care about the numbers game or like my status to hear what I REALLY think about you. First off you come off desperate for attention, second you don’t look like Miss Cleo, and third don’t post another status saying “Yall weak for not playing my game.” Forever Alone. Enough with this Facebook coonery.


            Twitter:

            I tweet like my freedom depends on it, but I’m also entertaining with my tweets. Just ask my followers. I. Love. Twitter. Why? Because twitter makes regular 9-5 people seem like celebrities and celebrities seem like regular 9-5 people.

            With that said please chill @’n every celebrity you come across, you seem just like a damn groupie. If you are please chill and save some dignity before ya tank hits E. I see some niggas tweets just consist of @S_C_ (jigga’s twitter) “we need to do a track together” blah blah blah blah…fam sit yo ass down.

            Hashtag is when you put the # before a word or phrase to attempt/participate in a TT(trending topic). PLEASE STOP HASHTAGGING WHOLE SENTENCES!!! So annoying, bruh.

            The tweets is watching: meaning chill with the subtweets or subliminal tweets. Just @ that mofo or DM (direct message) them. Quit being a pussy. That DM game is a dangerous one especially with screen caps/shots. A chick will set a thirst trap (a sexy pic or horny tweet) and soon as you DM her, she screen capping you on instagram…coldblooded. They should’ve never taught these heauxs how to hold down the power button then menu button.

            F*ck that commonsense deaf nigga @iRespectFemales.

            Don’t Retweet too many tweets cause that can get you unfollowed fam. If all you do is RT ya horoscope, I don’t care how sexy ya avi is niggas gonna drop off ya followers faster than the Mary J. BK ad…Krispee Chikuuhn, Frash Lettuss…3 Cheezus(holds up Index, Middle, & Ring fingers on both hands)…wranch dressun…rapp’d up innuh…tastee flowuh torteeyuh. And don’t RT common sense tweets and pretend that sh*t is sooooooo deep like Buddha tweeted them himself. Ex: “If you run in the street against traffic you’re bound to get hit. Think about it.” OOooooooooh that sh*t was so deep, fam. Jesus said it from the cross. So many fake prophets on twitter.

            Make sure to change ya avi as soon as you create your twitter account. If ya avi is an egg 7/10 people will hit you with the 2 piece aka Block+Report As Spam. No duckface avi’s, no pistols or drugs either.

            If you’re ever on the end of slander from a follower or some corny muthaf*cka don’t react and just roll with the punches. If you’re up against someone who has a bunch of followers like a celebrity be prepared to battle all of em or just let em vent. You don’t need that headache from the Stans. Most of em live to make others miserable, they really be pouring their heart out behind that acer laptop or that virgin mobile celly. God Bless em. Twitter wars are only for the thick skinned and witty, but remember if the person is a celeb just chill cause you can’t battle 400k-million + stans, yo.

            Depending on who you follow you might want to turn off pic preview on twitter. I’ve seen some things that the average person should never witness, but that’s another story.

            If you play your cards right you can actually link up with some pretty talented people via twitter.  If you tweet sh*t people can relate to you will definitely gain followers. Also it looks cooler if your followers total is more than the actual people you follow, fam.


            Instagram:

            Quit posting pix of food and if you’re a video model/stripper just post pix of you bussin it wide open or in skimpy clothing. Niggas don’t care about seeing pix of Grandma Moses in her church’s finest attire.


            Google+

            I don’t really f*ck with this sh*t, fam. After I got the invitation a while back, I was excited until I realized how lame it was.


            Viddy:

            Ladies keep the ass shaking videos coming. Niggas chill lip synching to Rihanna records.

            Mocospace (broke-hoe-space):

            Don’t change sh*t. If you looking for a buss down make sure you have an account on here. Flash that Chinese fan worth of 20’s and ya inbox will be full of phone numbers attached to messages containing an address. All you need is a clean T-shirt, a 5th of Paul, and a blunt. The most illustrious moco-heaux will buss it open for you, bruh bruh based off that criteria.

            Reverbnation:

            Put ya best music up and leave the struggle on ya mixtape. Remember what Diddy said, “F*ck yo dreams, nigga. This reality.”

  In conclusion if you follow my rules you’re bound to be a social network star, so with that said, May you’re life someday be as awesome as you pretend it is on Facebook.

Wreaking Havoc on the Mobb


      
         Yo, what’s good fam?! It’s ya boy A.B . aka abeezy aka Double aka The Lt. but enough with all that here’s another blog  for ya, yo.  It’s 1:42 AM on Tuesday and I’m tripping off of this whole Mobb Deep twitter beef. The Infamous really broke up on twitter, huh? Havoc started tweeting wreckless about P…sh*t was straight up left field, just out the damn blue like the clouds parted ways to drop all the f*cks that Havoc used to give about Prodigy.  Havoc just went in (PAUSE) on Prodigy’s ass. Hav was tweeting about P not being thorough and getting some of that pants sagging jail lovin while he was in the pen. I found it quite odd that P wasn’t throwing darts back at Havoc. How do you know it was really Havoc well it was his “verified” account on twitter with the little blue check mark. Havoc was throwing all kind of sh*t at P like he was a gorilla bored at the zoo.


                So all this happened on Sunday night into Monday morning. So this afternoon Havoc says that his phone was left at a gas station and someone was sending those tweets from the stolen phone. Ok why wait for so long to release the story. Most celebs on twitter do something idiotic and they just scream that they were hacked. Nah, Havoc had to let niggas know he left the flip phone by the hot dog smoothie combo machine at the gas station. But here’s where it gets real cloudy, all of those tweets were sent via web, not MOBILE web, or a twitter application(On The Breakfast Club a.m. show he said he has a password app that holds all his passwords, but failed to know the name of the app, fam…). So that means that Hav was sitting in front of his e-machine gone off that dark liquor tweeting his heart out in caps lock. I don’t believe the whole leaving my moto razr flip with the cracked screen across from the cooler with the 2 for $3 vitamin waters. It’s all bullsh*t, either someone was in his feelings about P’s hood critically acclaimed jail memoirs or it was a marketing stunt that went horribly wrong. I believe that Hav was in his feelings looking at his RENT-A-CENTER desktop for $1,200 and was like, “Maaaan f*ck that nigga P. His shit don’t bang glass tables, he get banged in prison stables, dun.” Why do I believe this? Mobb Deep formed on the strength of Havoc plotting to rob Prodigy, until he found out P had a record deal. How can you build a foundation off of jealousy and treachery? Iggzackly. 


                UPDATE: Shout out to Power 105 Breakfast Club, Angela Yee, DJ Envy, and Charlamagne Tha God for obtaining the audio of Havoc calling Prodigy gay and saying he smacked him at SXSW (South by Southwest for the slow). So that was Havoc online tweeting his heart out about P being banged in jail and being soft. Fam, just man up and keep it 100. Listening to the audio and it sounds just like Hav and on top of that the extended audio speaks on a meeting of the Mobb to split up the roylaties made under the name Mobb Deep. Havoc even confirms the meeting, but claims that it’s not about that. Son, my bad I mean Dun, it’s gonna come out later that it was you on the phone call and on twitter airing out P. This is a very sad end to one of NY’s elite. Link above.

                So will the hiphop world mourn the loss of Mobb Deep? Sh*t, I doubt it with how these new niggas act. Now if Travis Porter broke up, you’d see nothing but blood soaked skinny jeans, peeled back snapbacks, and gumby haircuts with patches in em. I digress, oh you know I wrote this whole blog with “Takeover” blaring in my beats (overpriced ass headphones, but that’s another blog). Jigga wins again. You little f*cks I got money stacks bigger than you.

                Anyways be on the lookout for that Black Ops Music & Business single #LivingLikeKings and also For The Moment.  Be sure to download my nigga Sky Starks new mixtape Chief Starks with production by AbP,  I’m ghost like a RR Phantom.

Living Like Kings

  What's good, fam? It's ya boy A.B. I don't normally blog but sh*t I got some time on my hands. As you know I'm a retail career prisoner and another "Omaha Rapper". Ashamed? Hell nah. I've been rapping since I was 12. Enough with the background nonsense, I titled this joint Living Like Kings because that's the street single my team B.O.M.B. plans on dropping on the city. The sh*t is hot no doubt, but with HipHop today, its image/movement first then the music. The city doesn't know a damn thing about Black Ops Music & Business (or so they claim). Kinda iffy peeping that the spins from reverbnation is always high and we have close to 800 downloads of our app on the Android market. Hmmm... but I digress. Fact of the matter is that no one here is living rich off rap. I don't care how many YouTube views you have, how many shows you did in Iowa, playboy you still got a regular ass job. The main issue is that for so long WE ( The City of Omaha) have backed bullsh*t songs for so long...smh. Why? because we feel like, "Oh, Lil Crip Crip ain't gang banging no more, he doing music. I have to support this positive transition." Fact of the matter is Lil Crip Crip is F*CKING GARBAGE!!!!!!!! So instead of telling Lil Crip Crip to put down the mic and pick up a book we say, "Lil Crip Crip that sh*t is hot!" Now Lil Crip Crip 47 years old, still recording on a karaoke machine, and handing out CD-R's with sharpie writing on it, titled Still Crippin' For My Cuz & Bloods. Omaha quit supporting bullsh*t. You know you don't have that type of nonsense in rotation in ya iPod. I know a lot of good artist here, but for every 1 good rapper here there are 13 struggle artist. We (B.O.M.B.) are working on something big and have an amazing marketing plan that'll hit the country harder than left hook from one of the Klitschko brothers.<<<< See what I did there? My advice to Omaha is support the good artist, quit hyping up Lil Crip Crip, he has an amazing grind, but the struggle is strong with that one. I would also say give every artist a shot, but form an opinion on your own after listening...no one likes a bandwagoner...become a hipster. Oh yeah check out Living Like Kings on soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/a-beezy-1/living-like-kingz-radio-edit

A N*gga dont sleep, cause I'm living my dreams...
