The 1st Thread/The Flashback Fridays #1 For 4/11/14: Jadakiss feat Anthony Hamilton - Why? (2004)

Image
Truly one of the great songs ever, and clearly among the most underrated. From telling the full truth about Denzel and Harry's Oscars to him even being a 9/11 half-truther, this Jadakiss' effort from a decade ago on the Havoc produced "Why" for his "Kiss Of Death" album is an all-time classic. The song was so incredible that it made even Bill O'Reilly respond in anger to his attacks on The Shrub (George W. Bush), calling The Lox man a "smear merchant" and going as far as to call out, as usual, the highest of powers associated with one of his targets with the Vivendi corporation (who had Ruff Ryders/Interscope at the time) drawing his ire this time. It amazingly reached #11 on the Billboard charts despite Kiss never being glamorous enough for crossover mainstream pop music and it being a heavy modern "black (and black hood) power" song. Instead of the thug/street tracks that made him a staple in the game with Styles P and...

Music Thread #1 For 8/27/09: The Runthrough

(Photo: Daniel Mihailescu/ Getty Images ) Madonna got booed massively last night in Romania. And the reason why : ....that is, until she denounced the pandemic discrimination of Gypsies. Then, the crowd turned on her. There are many videos on Youtube on the concert form last night, including this one. Though I don't think it's her getting booed. Moving on, a misleading headline from ALLHipHop.com So, are the Black Eyed Peas banning Muslims from their concerts? Um, not the case : The government of Malaysia has banned Muslims from attending a Black Eyed Peas concert in the country, because the event is sponsored by alcohol company Guinness. The government issued the ban after learning that the Black Eyed Peas would be celebrating the 250th anniversary of Guinness’ first brewery as part of a concert at a theme park in Kuala Lumpur on September 25. “The party is only open to non-Muslims aged 18 years and above,” a representative for the Ministry of Information, Communication and...

Music Thread #2 for 11/9/08: Major Sigh to Jadakiss

(Photo from google.com)Why Jadakiss, Why Indeed? SMH When asked who he would vote for by the cameraman, Jadakiss enthusiastically responded, "Barack Obama!" Only seconds after his Obama endorsement, here is what Jadakiss revealed, "Nah, I ain't gonna vote I don't think. But if I did, I'd probably vote for Barack." "Cause I didn't register. Half the people that you gonna get up here that's getting on here saying they gonna vote for Barack--they ain't registered," Jadakiss explained. "I'm just keepin' it a hundred with you. If I happen to register I'mma vote for Barack, but right now I'm officially not registered." It gets more "ugggggggggghhhhhh" worthy. This recent revelation comes shortly after Jadakiss revealed on his web series that this election would be his first time voting. It is sad to see the same man who made a song like this , and can turn into an underrated philosopher with that very...
