So last weekend, I finally got a chance to go see Notorious. Biggie has always been one of my top 5 favorite mc's since I got into hip-hop, and I have seen countless documentaries about the man. Notorious was just a mediocre, glitzed out one. But fuck what I gotta say and check the review at okayplayer, exactly what I thought about the movie. It wasn't necessarily disappointing because I expected most of it commin' in, but it was too hyped.
In other word's, the muafuckas over at the Grammys fucked the best artists over...again. After bein' introduced in '96, the Grammys have fucked up too many hip-hop greats. And to no surprise, Weezy ran over everyone winning every hip-hop category he was in, except for "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration", which went to Estelle & 'Ye. Check out the rest.

I had to reply to this one too...
Best Rap Album:
*Lupe Fiasco's The Cool should have got it...hand down, that album was pure genius!! every track had a meaning.
Unfortunetly I was 100% sure Carter III was going to get it, when you sell more than white artists on a recession your going home with the big one!
Best Rap Song:
I have to co-sign, "Superstar" should have got it. "Swagger Like Us" was nothing special to me besides the fact that the top selling cats in Hip Hop were in it.
Best Rap Performance By Duo or Group:
I agree with you again, Big Boi (Feat. Raekwon & Andre 3000) - "Royal Flush" should have def won.
Best Rap Sung Collabo:
co-sign..."Green Light" was fire 3 stack and JL should have a collaboration album, would definetly be hotter than the Kells/Jigga projects (imo).
Best Rap Solo Performance:
Nas - "N.i.*.*.e.r. (The Slave And The Master)" is brilliant! but of course "A Milli" won, since every dude that ever touched the mic flipped it and freestyled over it...lol
nice post bro, keep it up!
Thanks B. Yea I been pretty busy with skool n all but I try to keep up with this u know. And for "The Cool", Lupe is one a my favorite artists to come out in the 21st century, so I love his work, but The Cool came out in late 2007 so i can't really give it to him so late in. And total co-sign on Tha Carter III post haha
