MORE ON THE GAME/JAY-Z BEEF.

After jay-z dropped the diss attacking jim jones, game n damon dash, it was obvious game would be the one to hit back the hardest.
We know jay put out that freestyle as bait to get game to diss him, and thereby create buzz for his upcoming album(blueprint3 Controversy sells. But i bet jay didnt bargain for this much verbal attack.
After dissing jay during performances at two of his concerts in spain and france with freestlyes, he recently dropped a full diss track called 'i'm so wavy'.
On this track he attacks jay with lines like; 'no one on the corner got swagger like you, cos no one on the corner is 42'. This takes extract from jay and t.i's track, 'swagger like us.'
The game says this is just the first untill jay replies. And judging from his past rap beefs, you can count on game to drop diss tracks every week untill jay replies.
I hope jay wouldn't get more than he bargained for, because game knows no barriers when it comes to beefs.

NAS TALKS 10TH ALBUM, FOLLOW UP TO 'UNTITLED'.

Nas dropped his first album, illmatic, in 1994, when he was just 20years old. 15years gone, 9 albums in record, and he is still relevant in hip-hop.
Nas is dropping a collabo album with damian marley(son of late bob marley) next month, august. After which he'd start works on his next solo album.
This is what nas had to say concerning the album:
'it's funny, drama is something that definately kicks a fire underneath artists. But i try not to make that my focus. I'm trying to have peace and love. My shit now is age appropraite for myself. I love everything, must of the things that are going on musically. But my music will talk about what i see, how i see it, and it should be interesting. My last things were about what i felt about hip-hop and what i felt about race matters. This new thing will be natural thing. I have a few things that i feel like doing, but who knows what will be.'

ryan reynolds green lantern. what's up with common?

Ryan reynold, actor last seen in the most recent in the x-mem series, x-men: origin, as deadpool, has been chosen over two other finalists for the role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. This news was recently issued by variety.
Chigago based rapper, Common was in talks to play the role of the negro member of green lantern, but not much has been said on the matter lately.
Although hal jordan is the more dorminant character, it would be good to see common casted in the green lantern movie.
Common has stared in movies like; smoking aces, street kings and american gangsar.

NAS AND DAMIAN MARLEY, 'DISTANCE RELATIVES'.

When the two artist collaborated on 'road to zion', the lead single of damian's 2005 album, 'welcome to jamrock', the streets was loving the rap and reggae fusion. It was just so appealing to the ear. Plus the two artist have always been known to deliver some of the best conscious music in their individual musical genre.
They are currently working on a collaborative album, 'distant relatives'. Nas recently spoke on the album;

'I just think it was me & damian finding our way. When you have two different artists working on a record, when they're used to doing their own way, it's not easy as people may think. We just flowed, and the next thing we looked up and there were so many songs done or so many songs started and worked. . . we just decided to keep it going. It's not reggae, it's not rap. It's diffirent for each of us.'

Damian also shed some light on the album in a recent interview;
'Once we started working on the music, it was nas who said to me, !"Yo we should just make this a full album".

JAY-Z AND GAME BEEF.

Jay-z dissed compton california rapper,the game, on a free-style in vegas over the weekend. I saw this coming, after game dropped a song in auto-tune recently, indirectly dissagring with jay-z's death of auto-tune track.
But the fact remains that jay never liked game from day one.
On west-side story, game's first single, he rhymed 'i dont do button-up shirts and drive maybach'. Jay took it as a shot at him. The game later cleared the air that he was refering to jarule with that line, but jigga wasn't buying that. The bad blood has been with the two artist since then, although bubbling under the radar.

Back to the present, the game dropped a freestyle diss reply at jay in madrid(spain), from his european tour, on monday.
Its clear that jay is just using a marketing strategy to get people talking before he drops blueprint 3(his 11th album). He baited game, because he knew the game would most likely reply him.
I see this turning to some interesting, entertaining warfare. Lets see where they go with it.
