Vibe Magazine Ignite 2010: “From The Block To The Blogs”

Before the BET Hip-Hop Awards Weekend in Atlanta, Vibe Magazine held its “From The Block To The Blogs” event on Friday at the W Downtown. Esteemed Journalist, hip-hop historians, rappers, digital media strategist and ivy league intellectuals came together for a one of a kind dialogue. The topic of discussion range from engaging our youth to vote, the influence of social media to the role of corporate investment in our community and government regulation of the internet. Internet Neutrality was the hot topic of the day and everyone agreed it would not be in the best interest for corporation to be given more control over internet access.

X-Clan member Paradise Gray spoke exclusively with Rasha Entertainment about what he felt were pertinent issues that need to be address in our community. Paradise is a community organizer and Hip-Hop historian as well as founding member of The Black Watch Movement.

50 Tyson Has Autism - What's Your Excuse?

I knew from the first time I heard 50 Tyson say, "this is a sing I made up,” I knew that there was something a bit off about him.  Because I knew something wasn't quite right, I could not make fun of him in the same way that I make fun of most wack rappers.

In the past I have worked in the education system, but more specifically with autistic children.  When I found out 50 Tyson was autistic, I was amazed, because the children I used to work with could have NEVER made up songs and put them on YouTube.  They were extremely low functioning and lucky to be able to recognize shapes.  There are high functioning people with Autism that lead regular lives with minimal assistance but how many have become famous for rapping - 1 - 50 Tyson.

People found his music entertaining enough to share it with others and his videos have reached more than 6 million views on YouTube alone.  He has even made it to national TV, with one of his videos appearing on Tosh.0, where mainstream rappers like Fabulous and Bizzy Bone have also appeared.

The Problem:  People are really trying to battle 50 Tyson. WTF!!  He has autism.  Let that man be.  The following video is of a person (I can't even call him an artist, rapper or anything) is battling 50 Tyson.  His name is "Ex Con Attempted Murder."  WTF!  This man is by far worse than 50 Tyson.

The Big Problem: Rap music (I'm not going to even say Hip Hop) is regressing.  It seems to have developed Alzheimers.  The lyrical content and subject matter have regressed to a point where people with special needs are able to shine in entertainment.  Could it also be that the audience is regressing?  YES!  Watch this video to see what Wocka Flocka had to say to our children about school.  Go check out the movie Idiocracy to see where decedents will be in 500 years if we don't make changes.

Medicated & Motivated-World Famous James Wade

I only have a few Homies on the West Coast, and one of them is The World Famous James Wade. Anytime he hit me with an email that has a link I know im bout to see and/or hear some dope ish. The visuals on this banger is as dope as the production and lyrics. Cant wait to see what happens when you come to Philly to do this Magnum O banger!

Emcees U Should Have Heard Of...Strong Arm Steady

Another day at the office begins with the usual chatter of who should be featured as a artist at the offices of OMGP WTF. The process that happens at the round table is often gut wrenching and at sometimes violent. Like the time Ms. ( not gonna say her name) got made enough about one of my suggestions that she through a cd a my head. I assume she was doing this because she hated the group so bad or that she loved hip-hop so much. Anyway however her passion was displayed that day, I still have a lot of respect for her views on hip-hop and now understand the pecking order at the OMGP WTF blog offices. So as I was was doing some research at a unnamed record shop( which usually makes my allergies act up) I came across a interesting album artwork cover. What do you know, it was from the good people at Stones Throw Records. I immediately bought the vinyl and made a b line for the basement area that doubles for the basement area of both the OMGP WTF offices and the Multi-Man tha Skipso offices. I found the esoteric Multimanthaskipso, on the one's and two's of his technique turn tables spinning a array of classic hip-hop joints. What a great time to get a listen to the vinyl I had just bought. Classic, Classic Madlib production is how to best describe the Strong Arm Steady, Madlib produced album, "Stoney Jackson"...The emcees of Phil Da Agony and Krondon dominate this latest effort with Mitchy Slick's presence not often represented as much as the other two. Strong Arm Steady, is a Cali( California) based group with Mitchy Slick reppin for San Diego and both Phil and Krondon reppin for L.A. The music of this group is a healthy alternative to the often gang dominated hip-hop scene....Madlib does the production in standard form as said by Multi. So here we gooooooooo the group is called Strong Arm Steady, The album is the Madlib produced opus called "Stoney Jackson"...Pedro Parker out...Oh yeah and to the person that flatten my back wheel on my scooter, thanks for making me have to occur extra bill money this week to get it fixed...........

Emcees U Should Have Heard Of...Slum Village

Today is a sad day at our blog offices and in the hip-hop world alike. Today we witness another group of legendary status break up and begin a journey of solo careers. This group is....Slum Village...When I got the news of this I(Pedro Parker) headed down to the basement of the OMGP WTF offices to talk to the profound and sometime cocky Multi-Man tha Skipso..On this day as I entered the basement. I found Multi in a somber like state eating Plantanos and drinking Brugal...So I thought why not just come out with the questions..This is a following account of how it went..PP: Yo Mult what's up? MM: Oh its you again. PP: Did you hear about the break up of Slum Village? MM: WTF? WTF? What are you talking about yo? S Villa broke up. PP: Yeah it was announced that this is probably their last cd. MM: Ahhhh hell naw, man that group is one of dopest groups of all time. The D(Detroit) is known for having some of illest emcees in hip-hop. Thanks for making my bad day go worst. PP: Sorry to break the news to you man MM: Well after hearing this...Let the door nob hit you where the GOD LAWD SPLITCHA!!! So with that said along with a couple of choice spanish words. The interview was ova.. So with that being that I would like to say SALUTE to one of the greatest groups of all time Slum Village aka Slum Villa u have helped me get plenty of women with your chick ballads, you have helped me with my vocab with your extra ordinary usage of english language and you have help me keep my steez popping with your profound style...Cheers..Pedro Parker signing off...P.S. The following are videos from the upcoming album R.I.P. Dilla and Batin..

Freestyle

Just the other day, we at the offices of the OMGP WTF blog had a heated argument in the offices about free-styling in regards to being a emcee. Once the crazy guy from the basement Multi-Man tha Skipso walked in the offices he had a few choice words about how important it is and how it effects the climate in hip-hop today. The following are excerpts from Multi-Man Tha Skipso's tirade in our offices. "So who believes free-styling is some bull or doesn't make sense? Raise your hand!!! You two guys over there with your hands raised, you two are fired, pack ya ish and get the hell out of here. Yeah Gash gave me that authority. Anybody else feel the the same. Okay, its the thinking that those to clowns have that has hip-hop in the stupid commercial stuck state that it is in now. As a emcee, I feel...Hold up I know that free-styling is what every emcee needs to be able to do. It makes interviews more interesting, it makes the process of song writing more intricate also. Imagine you listening to the radio on your way home in traffic and you hear your favorite rapper, rapping off the top of his head(free-Styling) about being stuck in traffic. See this is true talent and what music should be about in the first place. I once seen a drummer from Tha F.A.C.U.L.T.Y. of Nu High( a local band) go head to head with there lead emcee on the mic. As I looked at the crowd in attendance I understood why this art form was so important and so lost. The emcee and drummer switched patterns so many times that the audience experience 5 songs in 5 minutes without even knowing it. So I say this to all of you who feel that free-styling isn't important. Why spend money to see a show and hear exactly what u have on the cd in your car, when you can spend money to see a show and hear additional music. Real emcees freestyle and hip-hop needs it more on a daily basis". With that said and seeing the passion that Multi, expressed I now understood where he comes from with his sometimes unrealistic demands for perfection at this blog offices. Pedro Parker signing off...Oh yeah here is a freestyle from Sean Price..Salute..........

Duck Down Music 15 Year Video Montage

Today we at OMGP WTF want to salute Duck Down Records for doing their thing for 15 years. This group has brought some of the best hip-hop gems ever to your local college stations and personal i-pod players. SO after a game of paper scissors rock Pedro Parker lost and had to do what no one else in the office wanted to do. I Pedro Parker was force to go to the basement of our office's and interview MultiManthaskipso. I found Mult with his ever present mask on smoking a black and listening to music from AHZ the New Face of Sound and Tha F.A.C.U.L.T.Y. of Nu High. After being asked what the hell I was doing here and responding with, "I just wanted to interview you Multi in regards to Duck Down Records being in the game 15 years" Multi nodded his head and we conducted the interview that follows. PP: What does Duck Down Records mean to you Mult? MM: "Duck Down Records means alot to me famila, its like Banana Fruit Cake!!! ummmmmmm Animal!!!, ummmmmmmm Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! Their company and label of artist are able to merge the essence of hip-hop with different styles and still stay true to what hip-hop is meant to sound like. I can't listen to a Boot Camp Record without a hoodie, Timbs or at least a NY Yankees fitted on. Its like Brooklyn's dopest rappers with a few outsiders that make hip-hop for me and you. Matter of fact, get the hell out of my basement so I can listen to that Duck Down Records shit buddy. Oh yeah by the way, your girl looks like she has snot in the box. Now beat it!!!!" PP: So after being chased out of the basement by this crazed Dominican with a Brugal bottle, I will just say this..Duck Down Records represent hip-hop, enjoy the video montage..If u missed the show, don't feel bad,I did too. This is Pedro Parker signing off...Uno

Chico DeBarge- Supermodel(rmx) ft. Da Backwudz

The DeBarges are a family of musicians who's pleasant looks and wonderful talents took us by storm in the 80's.
First came older brothers Bobby and Tommy who were in a group called Switch who was signed to Motown. Next four of the younger siblings Bunny, Mark, Randy and El were signed to Motown as well and were later joined by James who was 17 at the time. In the mid 80's Motown introduced us to yet another DeBarge... Chico. After dropping his first two albus "Chico DeBarge"(1986) and "Kiss Serious"(1988) we didn't hear from Chico for a long time. Then there was the Chico that most of my readers come to love in 1997 "Long Time No Here" followed by "The Game"(1999) and "Free"(2003). So while working on Chico's most recent album Addiction was released July 14, 2009 I was more than happy when the folks over at Kedar Entertainment Group asked me to produce a new track for the R&B Legend. I did the track and called on Universal Motowns own Da Backwudz (Sho Nuff and Big Mark aka Aleon Craft) who happen to be personal friends of mine to bless the track with that Southern Hip Hop Feel.

"Pussy on your sideburns"???

Well in this new world of everything internet, people turn to web sites, blogs and wikis for everything. If you are not familar with wikis, a wiki is a live encyclopedia that allows us the user to edit add and remove information on certainn people, items or subjects. Out of boredom the wife and I get a kick out of typing random questions in google and seeing what we get. Yesterday we typed... "Why does Nicki Minaj say pussy on your sideburns in the song bed rock?" and this is what we got:


when nicki says that shes basically saying suck my pussy. lol

get it... pussy on ur sideburns... pussy on ur face??? haha


correction:
Not quite. It's a bit deeper than that. In her King Magazine interview (linked below), she states, "I just happen to be blessed with a fat coochie." This can be visually confirmed in her infamous "lollipop" photo shoot.

So, more accurately, this verse is most likely a witty reference to the plumpness of her vagina's outer labia, implying that once she sits upon a face, her "fat coochie" will engulf it and extend to the sideburns. She opts to view this characteristic in a flattering light, instead of the usual, ho-bag/scallywag/whore interpretation that immediately springs to the average person's mind.

Great Day-Shidi Amin aka Al-Shid ft. Gray Kid

By now you guys should have realized that I am the biggest Al-Shid supporter ever, and I'm proud to be that. I always seem to portray Al-Shid as a rapper when in fact he is an awesome entrepeneur and producer. Producing for acts such as Amanda Diva, Big Apple, T.K. Rose and more, Shid has managed to display versatility and a variety of musical influences.In fact the majority of music you here from Mr. Shidi Amin is produced by the man himself. That being said, enjoy this next banger Great Day, featuring Gray Kid, produced by Al-Shid. Still Holding It Down.

Aleon Craft on CNN

just surfing the web with no real goal and I stumbled on this jewel. My dog Aleon Craft aka Big Mark one half of Universal's Da Backwudz is on CNN rapping in front of a symphony with a sweater vest on. I thought I was seeing things, but I wasn't. He and 808 Blake of SMKA are involved in a study that bends a Hip Hop producer and an Emcee with a symphony... WTF? That's being on your grind

The Real Ricky Ross

This shit is crazy! I never paid much attention to the story of Ricky Ross, but thanks to Alex Jones I now know that this is a story all young black me need to hear.
