Ice-T: The Only Hip-Hop Artist to Still Keep it Real?

In this money-hungry world we live in, it seems like people will do anything or work with anyone if it means making a buck or scoring a mag cover. Rapper/actor Ice-T, most notoriously known for his back-in-the-day banned-from-airplay jam “Cop Killer,” is the first Old-Skool artist to finally take a stand against these so-called “rappers” who are ruining “hip-hop.”

Sounding off on DJ Cisco's Urban Legend mixtape, the hip-hop legend says, “Fu*k Soulja Boy! Eat a dick! This ni*ga single handedly killed Hip Hop. That sh*t is such garbage man. We came all the way from Rakim, we came all the way from Das EFX, we came all the way from motherfu*kers flowing like Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube, and you come with that Superman sh*t? That sh*t is garbage. Hurricane (Chris) take them fu*king beads out of your hair ni*ga! Man up. You ni*gas is making me feel real fu*king mad about this sh*t.”

It’s about time someone speak-up in defense of real hip-hop. Sure, these ridiculous “artists” like ‘Soulja’ and ‘Hurricane’ may be good for Top-40 Radio airplay or for a popular spin for a DJ at a nightclub, but it evokes a sense of true anger in me when I meet people and we start talking music and they have the *nerve* to suggest the like “rap” or “hip-hop,” when it clearly could not be further from the truth. It’s not even so much the mainstream issue, as it is the issue between the hip-hop/pop gray area. Sure, Paul Wall and T.I. may be VERY mainstream, and a few of their songs may get KIIS-FM (for example) airplay, but when it comes down to it, those artists are still considered “rap” to me. They rap about real issues and real things—just sometimes with a mass-appeal-aimed-style. Soulja Boy’s shit isn’t even comprehendible. What the hell is he talking about? I think people automatically classify any black artist who pops out a record with “danceable” jams, as a hip-hop/rap artist. Not the case.

More people need to stand up for the hip-hop genre like Ice-T, instead of collaborating with these so-called “artists,” just to get a little more noticed. Because quite frankly, is $$ really worth credibility? In the long-run, probably not.

KIMposter Fools Everyone…Until She Opens Her Mouth

Okay, maybe Kim Kardashian’s imposter (who goes by Mizz Na’Tasha) actually doesn’t fool anyone. But either way, it’s not necessarily solely her appearance that gives up her faux-dentity. Afterall, both women have long, dark hair, are of Middle Eastern descent, have big booties, wear lots of makeup, yadda yadda yadda—Kim just happens to be a thousand times hotter), but the cover is blown once homegirl Na’Tasha gets to runnin her mouth. Kim may be a LOT of things, but ghetto is definitely not one of them (well, except for her booty). And Mizz Na’Tasha is certainly a far cry from the tucked away suburbia known as Calabasas, where the Kardashian clan run free.

Check out this video clip, in which Mizz Na’Tasha (with the help of a homegirl) tries to set the record straight about all the whole KIMposter nonsense. Especially watch for the part in which ‘Tasha’s homegirl states that Mizz Na’Tasha is indeed a woman (in case there were any discrepencies)
