Famed drug lord Freeway Rick Ross had his lawsuit against Rick Ross thrown out. The drug lord was suing Rozay for naming rights. The judge thought there was not enough proof.
Dude's one of the biggest drug lords of our time. He served 20 years, and got out 3 years ago in 2009. He moved more than 1.6 BILLION dollars of cocaine while making $600 million. Freeway was supposed to serve life in prison because of his connections with the Iran-Contra Affair.
Obviously Freeway is just looking for some more cash since he lost all of it by going to jail. Personally, if I was in jail and I came out to see a very successful rapper with my name I'd be honored. It's not like Rick Ross isn't a common name, either. Freeway needs to relax and sit down. He's lucky enough already that he's not in jail.
I'm Stumpy, and that's what I have to say.

Lil B Speaking at NYU?
Rapper (if you want to call him that) Lil B will be lecturing at famed New York University on April 11. To see him speak, with an NYU I.D. tickets are $5. Otherwise, tickets are $10 with a valid government issued I.D. He will be the first ever rapper to speak at the university.
Okay, who in the hell thought it would be a good idea to have Lil B speak to anyone?? He is literally the WORST rapper to ever make music. For everyone that sing only in the shower because you think you aren't good enough to sing in public, you are 10x better than this guy. He calls himself the BasedGod, a self-appointed nickname of course because the only thing he is God of is terrible rapping. Guys like this are what gives rap a bad rap (no pun intended). I have yet to hear a good Lil B song.
I must give the man credit, though, because he creates all of his own beats, and if you've ever for some reason listened to him rap the beats are sick as hell. In my opinion, he could benefit more from just being a producer instead of a rapper. Let's face it, no one wants to hear a guy with a completely terrible voice rap about a random celebrity saying their name 65 times during the course of the song.
I have always given rappers credit that change their style to what they want to make instead of what the fans want to hear because making music is about having fun and enjoying what you make. But in the case of Lil B, he should put down the mic and focus on producing.....and NEVER talk at a college.

Yelawolf Talks About Recent Injury
Yelawolf had a recent interview with Rhyme and Reason magazine. The interview had a basis around an event that happened during a show.
He explained that during a show he stage dived in an attempt to crowd surf. The only problem was he came down hard on a fan's nose. Yela broke the man's nose, but also hit hard on the fan's head. He came up afterwards and had very intense pains in his back. He was rushed to the hospital, and in the end, he ruptured his spleen. He was hospitalized for several days, and had to cancel a few shows. He has made a full recovery, but as he told Rhyme and Reason, it put his life in check.
Personally, I think it's good to see a rapper be so energetic in his shows to do the stage dives, the crowd surfing, and being a player to the crowd. It's never good to see someone get put in danger like this though. So let's hope that he did make a full recovery for sure, and that he can live on to produce the great music that he normally does.

Justin Bieber
All I have to say is, WHY DOESN'T HE RAP MORE?!
When he raps, his true flow comes out. He is actually an unreal rapper, but he choses to make terrible pop songs instead. These are things I will never understand.
Today, he released Boyfriend Feat. Mike Posner and I really enjoyed it. It's weird when I say I enjoy Biebs, but its true.

Artist To Watch
The rap game is about to get killed by a man named Chuuwee. The underground rapper recently got a deal from Amalgam Digital is preparing to release his first album with them. The album is finished but is awaiting to be finalized, and will be out in April. Today, a song was leaked off of the work that will be called Crown Me King. My first experience with Chuuwee was on his track Post Mortem, and then the Watching the Thrown mixtape. I highly recommend him Here's a link to listen to his newest release, The Crown Don't Make.

Nas Gets Wages Garnished
Looks like rapper Nas is in the news again. Once again it is not goo news. A few weeks back news came out that Nas was in debt, but it turns out he owes more than $6 million in back taxes. His wages earned will be garnished by ASCAP and BMI until the debts are paid off.
Knowing the caliber of rapping that Nas has been known for, you must ask, how does he get that far in debt? Its just ridiculous to see a rapper worth so much fall so far.

Funkmaster Flex Feud With DJ Clue
So it appears the two DJ's have started a bit of a beef. Last week, DJ Clue was set to premiere a new track on his radio show. The song was Nicki Minaj's new one called Beez in the Trap Featuring 2 Chains. Funkmaster Flex apparently was not happy that Clue would be premiering this. The story goes that Flex hacked into Clue's e-mail to get the track. Flex then played the song on his radio show instead.
Not only did he play the song, he had some choice words for DJ Clue. Basically, Flex told Clue that he was a wanna-be. He's trying to be the next Funkmaster Flex, but no one can be another FF and that he should quit right now. Flex then goes on to call him out saying that he doesn't belong in his arena, and that he's been around way too long to be disrespected by a man like him.
The problem with the story is that DJ Clue says he was never sent the Nicki Minaj song. Clue tweeted "So this Fat Old dude saying he hacked my email & took a record that was never emailed to me? #CompulsiveLiar". He goes on to tweet that he beats Funkmaster Flex in all the ratings.
Clue came out yesterday telling his fans and giving Flex a personal shout out saying that he's not going to listen to some old fat guy that's been around for too long, and tells him to quit. Clue says he's the future of radio DJ and its time for Flex to hang it up. Anything is possible now as this feud will not end soon
In my opinion, they both need to shut up. Both of these guys get the biggest stars on to their studio shows and get them to produce outrageous freestyles that I thought I would never hear. For them to cause a feud over something like an average song by Nicki is childish.
Any feedback is certainly welcome. I will respond to any comments. I'm Stumpy, and that's what I have to say.

This Month In Music
So the hip hop world was honored in this month of March with a handful of huge releases and announcements. Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Gang released the anticipated Taylor Allderdice mixtape, which shut down multiple website's servers, last week on March 13th. This week alone we saw famed Tyler, The Creator and Crew, Odd Future, release their newest studio album The Odd Future Tape Vol. 2, Machine Gun Kelly release Half Naked and Almost Famous EP, and Mac Miller releasing the Macadelic mixtape.
While Taylor Allderdice has obtained over 500k downloaded on hip hop site DatPiff.com, it has also given the Wiz fans what they wanted after the Rolling Papers studio album. From top to bottom the Taylor Gang crew kills this mixtape while including some huge features. Starting off the mixtape is the intro Amber Ice. This song is a great start to this mixtape. The tempo is set by a nice, laid back flow. Follow that up with the previously released single off of the tape, California, the tape is already set. Out of the 19 tracks on the T.A. mixtape, I have yet to find one I don't enjoy. The tape even includes features by Rick Ross, Smoke DZA, and the rest of the Taylor Gang crew. The beginning of the tape sets up the stoner flow, but once you reach My Favorite Song (Feat. Juicy J) the tape takes a turn for the Wiz fans who were asking him to go back to the old Wiz. Following that up with T.A.P. , The Code, The Grinder, Brainstorm, Number 16, and Blindfolds hardcore Wiz fans take a look back at his famed Kush & O.J. flow. T.A. shows off the newest addition to the "gang" Three 6 Mafia member, Juicy J. I give the tape an overall score of 8/10.
On Tuesday, March 20, two big releases were dropped. Tyler, The Creator and his crew Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA, or simply Odd Future) dropped their newest project The Odd Future Tape, Vol 2. Obviously, this is the sequel to their 2008 mixtape The Odd Future Tape. The crew gave us fans what we've been waiting for with an 18-track set. They pick up right where they left off starting off the album with Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats with Bitches. Following that up with (in no order) Lean, P, Rella, NY(Ned Flander), Analog 2, Hcapd, and Oldie, OF gives us a great tape. After saying that recently returning Earl Sweatshirt would not be on the album, about half way through the cypher-like Oldie, Earl kills the beat like usual. This album, following Hodgy Beats Untitled EP gives the fans enough to wait for Tyler, The Creator's 3rd studio album Wolf due to be released in May '12. I give this album an 8/10 as well
Cleveland's own Machine Gun Kelly released his first Bad Boy Records joint with Half Naked and Almost Famous EP. Along with the EP, a downloadable DVD following MGK was available. The EP contained the raging classic, and his first single, Wild Boy as well as Warning Shot and Half Naked and Almost Famous, he releases two new tracks entitled See My Tears and EST 4 Life. With both of these new tracks, he puts his emotions out on a sleeve to let his fans know how he truly feels about what he does and how much he loves them. MGK who was recently named one of this year's XXL Freshmen of the year will be releasing his first official studio album in the coming year, and it will be titled like his famed mixtape and his life long slogan, Lace Up. I give the EP a 7.4/10.
Last but certainly not least, Pittsburgh's Mac Miller releases something that will change the game. Macadelic is one of those special mixtapes that not many get the chance to release. Following up the chart topping Blue Slide Park in November, Mac immediately made his fans aware that his next mixtape will change everything, and he certainly did not disappoint. The first track off the tape Desperado sets up the track perfectly. Any doubt that fans had that he sold out to the mainstream is instantly vanished after this track and his previously released Loud. Miller changes his normal style of rapping about sex, drugs, and money to real life situations. Just like Wiz, he reached out and picked up some HUGE features. The biggest one being Lil Wayne on the track, The Question. He also has a collab with Cam'ron, Kendrick Lamar, Juicy J, and former OF member Casey Veggies. The mixtape from top to bottom reminds Mac Miller fans why they became fans in the first place. I highly recommend this tape to every one, and I'll let you know right now watch out for this guy in the coming months. I expect huge things from Miller after this tape while on his Macadelic tour. I give the tape a 9/10.

First Post
Well, this is my first post. I realize probably no one will read this for awhile, but oh well. Basically what I'm doing with this blog is just putting my thoughts out there about what's going on in the rap game.
I always have a lot to say about a lot of things in the game, but I never have any one to truly discuss it with. This is a way for me to put all my thought down and have them (hopefully) read.
Any feedback will be greatly accepted along with any ideas of any rappers that deserve to be noticed.
