Haven't Posted in A While

Nothing really to report. Just keep checking back for all your top hip hop news! Finals week is coming up so I'll have more time to make posts.

Tupac Back!

Tupac Shakur is back!....kind of. This past weekend, the Coachella 2012 fans were shocked to see Tupac rise from the stage and perform along side Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. Originally, fans were told Nate Dog was going to be performing at this event, also a rapper that has passed on. How did this happen? Hologram technology.

The creator of the hologram has said it took over four months to put it together. He will not release the technical parts of the creation, but he did say that the cost was between 100 and 400 thousand dollars. Also, Tupac's mother was in full support of this creation.

There are now rumors of Snoop, Dre, and Tupac to go on a tour together.

Personally, I think this is awesome. If I was at Coachella when Tupac began to talk, I would've lost it. It's so cool to see technology being able to do this. One question is how long will it be before they bring back Biggie? Are they already in the process?

Also you have to think about the people who have enough money that can get a hologram created for personal uses. In my opinion, I think this is good for the industry, but at the same time there might come a time where it is cheaper to pay a hologram than a real life artist at a show. Hopefully, this never happens.

I'm Stumpy, and that's what I have to say. Comments, questions, or any kind of feedback is very much appreciated.

Kanye West Makes More People Mad

Well after the release of his new track "Theraflu", the makes of Theraflu as well as the big heads from PETA have released complaints toward the GOOD Music group artist. Theraflu released a statement saying that they did not give permission to Kanye to create the song using the name of the product, which if you don't know is an over-the-counter flu/cold remedy.

Also in the song, the chorus contains the line "Can't a young n***a get anymore money/Tell PETA my mink is draggin on the floor." The senior vice president of PETA released his displeasure with that line stating, "What's draggin' on the floor is Kanye's reputation as a man with no empathy for animals or human beings."

In my opinion, they both should shut the hell up. Theraflu should be pumped about their product getting mentioned in a song by an artist with as much stature as Kanye West. It's just a metaphor that Yeezy is using in the song, let it go. As for PETA, you guys mean nothing. Sure its cool that you save animals and such, but in the long run you're company is actually ruining lives of people by your stupid ass rules about animal rights. Y'all need to stay out of people's business, and pick your spots about when to get into the news. This obviously isn't the time or place to do it. The last ten times PETA has came into the news it was for something completely stupid and pointless.

I'm Stumpy, and that's what I have to say. Don't hesitate to comment and give me some feedback. If you think I'm an idiot, I want to know. Follow me on twitter @Ryan_Legarsky15

Young Jeezy Shows

Well, for the second time in a week someone has been shot at a Young Jeezy show. Both of the concerts were in Canada. The first one a man was shot three times and was killed. At the show last night (April 5), just as the show started shots were fired. Jeezy will perform in Montreal tonight.

I'd be pretty paranoid to go to a Jeezy show now. If there's another shooting tonight, or in the coming weeks, you have to think that someone is out to get Jeezy. If I were him, I'd watch myself, and if I were a fan at the shows, I'd make sure to be around people I know. That is some scary stuff going on there.

I'm Stumpy, and that's what I have to say.

Artist to Watch

So I haven't had a post in a while, but that's because I haven't had time. So I figured I'll give you guys a quick post, but also an important one. This dude is working his ass off to put out some good music for his fans, and I know I'm a pretty big fan. He's currently working on a new mixtape called The Initiation due out this Friday, this dude's name is Kaliboy.

Kaliboy is a kid from a small town in Pennsylvania, and currently going to Clarion University. He already has an EP out called Teenager, which is available on datpiff.com. On it, he has some pretty sick freestyles to some older songs. He is a very lyrical rapper, and goes pretty hard. I recommend him to any and all rap fans.

You can follow him on twitter at @Kaliboy412 or like him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/kaliboymusic. Another place to look is on YoutTube, just search Kaliboy to hear some of his new stuff. Below is a link to my personal favorite song, Paradise. Enjoy
