Straight Outta Southside

[NY Mane]

I was in 6th grade when Straight Outta Compton was released. Back then rap music was dangerous and not commercial.

Why is 50 Cent releasing remakes? His new G-Unit song is so pop and glossy. I hate the state of rap music. Cookie cutter albums.

I am a black guy and to me color means nothing...I love all kinds of music...look at my avatar. I have black friends who get mad at me when I say this, but I am being honest. Besides the early classics by Eazy-E and NWA and Public Enemy, the last original musicians who kept rap music interesting were white rappers....Beastie Boys and Eminem. Paul's Boutique is the best rap album according to me. No rapper (black or white) has matched the beats and originality of that album.

straight outa Locash!!

popular hip hop has been terrible for about 5 or 6 years. Today is at its all time low tho you are right. Must be a creative recession going on.

What song is it?

As for PE, I saw them 3 times when I was younger. They are the best there ever will be (honorable mention to De La Soul). It's a shame how they made a movement for the rap music scene/world only to see it bottom out in a sewer. Rap Poetry is lost.

The aptly named "Waken Baken" tour will press on thanks to headliner Wiz Khalifa posting bail for himself and eight bandmates for charges related to marijuana possession Tuesday morning.

The 23-year-old Pittsburgh rapper, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was arrested shortly after stepping off of the stage at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., Monday night.

Police officers providing security for the sold-out show said they noticed the "prevalent odor of marijuana" backstage and near one of Mr. Thomaz's tour buses, and saw performers steadily "coming and going" from the bus before the concert, according to a news release from the university. Police found about 2 ounces of marijuana on board.

Arrested along with Mr. Thomaz were his manager, William G. Dzombak, and seven others. Each was charged with three counts of trafficking marijuana, maintaining a dwelling or motor vehicle to store or sell marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Mr. Thomaz and Mr. Dzombak were released on $300,000 bond each and the remaining members of the crew were released on $20,000 bond each later in the day. An East Carolina student also was arrested.

The rap sensation and Pittsburgh Allderdice High School graduate has been on the 60-city tour since mid-September and is scheduled to perform in Richmond, Va., today. His single "Black and Yellow" is No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is receiving airplay on Top 40 stations, including Pittsburgh's Kiss-FM (96.1).

In an interview with ESPN The Magazine, Mr. Thomaz said the song is "for Pittsburgh or anyone who has black and yellow in their colors." He's scheduled to play sold-out shows at the new Stage AE venue on the North Side on Dec. 16 and 17.

While police were tipped off by the apparently overwhelming odor of smoke at the show, it's not as if Mr. Thomaz and his crew made any attempts to disguise their actions. Mr. Thomaz was reportedly overheard saying he liked to smoke marijuana before shows and that it's "not unusual" to spend about $10,000 per month on the substance.

Shortly before going on stage, he posted a Twitter message saying, "smoke outs in greenville nc tonite. Fall thru wit ur finest plant life."

Hard to find decent stuff now. Brotha Lynch Hung seems to carry some of that harshness. I still prefer the old stuff anyday.
