KEYSHIA COLE IS SO WAAAAVYY.................

I'm a let my homie Rob go in on ya'll niggas 1st: "Gooooooooooooood Morneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!!" Thanks Ye'-

Well, Well, Welcome to the Weekly Wrap Up!!!!A lot of bullshit and Fuggery was def popping off this week lol. Where should I start 1st???? OK the BET awards. They was aight, besides the fact of best video nominee featured two videos that were nominated last year!!!!!! To top it off, Kayne feat. T-Pain Good Life beat out UGK feat. Outkast I Choose You. But, this year UGK won!!!! Now shouts out to Pimp C R.I.P. I aint hating, but how they win this year but didn't win last year!!!!.

Now, I don’t wanna spend all day beating a dead horse but, a lot of the nominees in those catagories shouldn’t have been even mentioned i.e. Eve( she didn’t even release a album). LMAO>>>>(Sorry Rob!!!) Another thing that was on my mind, is the state of music right now. A lot of people are hating on Soulja Boy or D4L or any other snap music dude that had the ring tone game on lock. Niggaz gotta stop hatting. You gotta remember, back in the day people were dancing!!! Shit, just look @ Kid-N-Play them niggaz made like 3 movies that niggaz loved!!! If you a 80's baby, ya'll know what I am talking bout Lmao. Digital Under Ground was dancing even though they had the realest nigga alive out there dancing!!! Shout out to Pac!!! So basically it's history repeating itself. When I am in the club sauced, I don’t wanna hear no shoot em up kill kill shit. I wannna see them broads "Get Silly with it lol. But, dudes gotta quit hating and get money and make hits. If you making good music, people will buy it regardless. Maybe not as much as Weezie F Baby but, they will def cop it cause real recongnize real.

JAPIRO's PIZZLEMATIC(DISC1) IS HERE!!!

(for cd delieveries contact: japiro@att.blackberry.net)

O,K,K,KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.......The shipment just came in this morning after our morning meeting in our office. Niggas think I'm always on some shit in here but, hey I always am. You have to have multiple hustle's in 2008 if gas is $4 per gallon. My show was the "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit" in my opinion last night as I ran down 15 mins of "Pizzlematic". The disc actually runs about 60 mins. Yup, I even broke out the A-Milli joint. If you weren't convinced before, you will be after the "Pizzle Experience this time around! This cd is street, it's fresh, it's dope, it's differen't, and it's truly me. Only two features on this work of art (Eddie Numbers & Al Great). I recorded every take, mixed every song, I scored, and arranged the entire thing. Something, that I've never done soley ever because I always had help. This time I'm going in for my hood..."The Vadeo", ya heard me.........................Shouts to MCF (Money Comes First) and all my niggas across B-More who came out last night. Thanks Erica, for taking coming out and taking 30 to 40 pictures last night. I deleted the 10 minute video last night. I'm such a fucking idiot. The longest show performance on tape and I fucked it up because I touched the wrong button. I don't really have too much to say but, I need everybody to come out on July 10th for the "Pizzlematic" Release Party @ The Belevedere Hotel on July 10th.

I'm making history everyday by doing this blog, having a website, and reaching out to other artist' in the city. Matter of fact, if you don't believe me check me out in Target in a few weeks.

I'm not rich and I'm probably not the most known artist in the city but, the Promoters and top RAP niggas here in Baltimore know who I am. Google me, I'm doing my thizang. I'm tired of being humble but, I have to be! I don't sleep, I gotta eat...Get your weight up, and not your hate up.

T.B.U.R.A.

P.S. Don't forget to be @ "The Above Average White Party" next Thursday, July 3rd. I turned down a show to party with my niggas because "I PUT ON FOR MY CITY!"

HUMP DAY HAPPINESS @ Robert Oliver's Today!!!

PIZZLEMATIC (DISC1)

COMING

07.01.2008

LIL' MAMA WTF!!!

"I’m not a rapper first and foremost. I’m the birth of hip-pop. I’m an innovator and everything that I do is fresh. When you have something so new and fresh in your hands, you’re supposed to know what to do with it. By signing with a label, I signed knowing that everyone was on the same page as me and understanding what was going on. But that wasn’t what I thought it was." Lil' Mama- I was giving this chick soooooooooooooo much credit after she went in on "A-Milli" for more than 5 minutes. After I saw this shit, I take back everything about Miss I spit that dat doo, doo, doo, da, da. The little girl beside her has a reason to be dressed like she's in Candyland...But, Lil' Mama, your more "Geeked Up" than Gucci Maine right now....GUCCI!!!

THE NEW HIP-HOP ALLIANCE IN BALTIMORE
(Japiro, Q.P., Keyaira Chanel, Eddie Numbers & Ray-Vic)

Young Carter, Go farther, Go further, Go harder,/Is that not Why we came? and if not, Then why bother?

Wanye had no clue that Jay-Z was giving him the GREEN light to accumulate work and move the same direction as he once did and still is. Mr. Carter is probably one of my favorite songs on the Carter 3 because it's pre-Maybach music. Jay-Z works that track more like Wanye would have on "The Carter 2" or DJ Drama's "Dedication" series.



"That line right there was hard! Unbelievable. I didn’t even realize it at first. My homie had to tell me “You know what he said, right?” I didn’t even get it. I was like, “Why is he saying ‘air’? Is he just talking about the air?” But I’m smart enough to know that he’s smart enough not to just be talking about the air. I felt real dumb, but then I felt so good. It was an incredible compliment." Lil' Wayne -


REV. AL GREEN IS BAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

"STOP BITCHIN"

An angry sheriff will take Shaquille O’Neal's special deputy's badge due to his anti-Kobe Bryant rap.

NEYO

Had the best performance PERIOD! Though Keyshia Cole showing off those legs and no gap in her mouth anymore I'm ready for the new Mary J. to hold it down.

CRAZINESS/GAYNESS...

"It takes me two hours to get ready. Worse than any woman I've ever been with. I take a long bath and then moisturise with oils when I'm still wet so that it all seeps into my pores." Diddy-

WTF...I can't believe I'm born the same day as this nigga. Anyway I'm dedicating today's blog to the BET AWARDS.

Just like any other black person, I was late to the BET Awards even though I watched them on TV at my crib. (Hahahahahahahaha)That's like being late to a bathroom break. Tell me something, How the Hell did Kanye have the vocoder on his mic? This shit is CRAZY!!! Roger Troutman is rolling over in his grave right now. R.I.P. to him because they're would be no T-Pain/The Dream-ish type songs or Rihanna or Chris Brown wouldn't sound as tight because that smooths out those good ol' vocals. Matter of fact I might even use that shit on my next song. Shout out to "The Dream" (Oooooooo aaaaaaa, Oooooooo aaaaaaaaa...Radioooooooooo Killaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) for recieving the NEW artist of the year award. He's had 6 songs in rotation within the past year which includes; Shawty Is A 10, Rihanna's - Umbrella, J.Holiday's - Bed, Fast Car, I Luv Your Girl, and Falsetto.

Shouts out to D.L. Hugley for messing up Marvin Sapp's name up. He called him Warren Sapp!!! That's more craziness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well either way, "I Made It" is a great gospel song for 2008. We don't discriminate over here. That's enough good. It's time to get dirty now...Thanks Kells- More on the "PIED PIPER" later. Naw fuck that, I'm going in on this dude right now...You Have to READ thisssssssss SHIT BELOW:

Lisa Van Allen explains how R. Kelly lured her in as an underage girl:

"He started with a kiss, and from there we leaned back, and I just didn’t stop him. I was kind of worried that he wouldn’t want to see me again after that, but I wasn’t worried about the actual act at that time because I was just honored that he picked me. Being a young girl, I was like, "Wow." I wasn’t thinking as a woman would. Now that I’m older, things are different. I would never go that route today. As a child, you don’t make all the right decisions. That’s why young girls shouldn’t be involved with grown men."

Ok, Kellz you may be the Remix King right now but, there is no excuse for this.

This is why if my fiance' births a girl whenever that may be. My daughter will not be allowed to see men until she's old enough to run for president. So you know that will be a long ass time from now because they just let a Black Man run for President and ain't no telling how long it may be before he needs 24 hour protection.

Side Bar:

Al Green is still the shit but, how does a nigga's skin get lighter and less bumpy after his woman dumps a meal on his face. I guess HOT grits can do alot of things for the skin. Next thing you know niggas will be using HOT Grits for RAZOR BUMPS!!! I call it "Soul In A Bowl". OMG<>

Rob, Where are you my nigga? You were supposed to be going in on this w/me today but, I feel like I'm Kobe before the Shaq freestyle. Oops did I just say that.

I really went off today on my blogg today, I really thought the A-Milli track was on for a second... Fuck it, I've gotten so many requests to hear my version again...Check it out JAPIRO - A -MILLI AGAIN one of my best FREESTYLES TO DATE.

Til next time, we get it in! E-Watts hold ya head homie. "I PUT ON FOR MY CITY" MIXTAPE COMING SOON feat. Keyaira Chanel, Ray Vic, Q.P., Eddie Numbers & Japiro





LOOK OUT FOR "FROM THE VADEO TO THE VALLEY" FROM EDDIE NUMBERS feat. JAPIRO


T.B.U.R.A. -

Release Day Tuesday's 6/24/08 Edition

There Are No Albums That I am Co-Signing This Week Except Nas' - The Nigger Tape & Wale's - Mixtape About Nothing...

This is some funny shit because I just feel like saying the word Nigga today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The reason I probably feel like that is because I feel like no matter how hard I try to crack the mold in Corporate America something or someone finds a way to make me feel like they are saying the "N" word behind my back. I would rather you say it up front so I know my check is going to be F'd up before the 15th comes around! Anyway, there are no albums or mixtapes want to co-sign this Tuesday! This is soooooooooooo sad because I was beginning to love Hip-Hop again. I actually bought Lil' Wanye & Plies' albums and didn't download them. I hadn't bought two albums at once since Rick Ross & Fat Joe came out................

Now, Wale's CD wasn't really a surprise for me because his "100 Miles and Running" Mixtape was fire and I never heard one song from him until I downloaded it which he offered for free a few months back. Most East Coaster's heard "Nike Boots" from him and that was probably the version Dipset remixed not the version Lil' Wanye accepted a feature slot for. Either way this dude is bringing the game back where it needs to be. DMV STAND UP!!!! A mixtape that strays away from the typical mixtape cliches, features and themes that haunt America's middle class is where Wale makes his presence ever so strong throughout this 19 track cd. Make sure you stop pass elitaste.com for this great piece of work.

As for Nas, The Nigger Tape is as gritty as "Illmatic" but, as slept on as Nastradamus. Since it is a mixtape, I didn't expect any singles to leak but, it was "Hero" that made me feel like Nas' always has it in him to make that one hit that still is street, conceptual, and has appeal to the masses without sounding corny. Maybe Nas' could teach some of our younger ringtoners some keys to creating real music! Hahahahahaha (Ringtoners....WTF!!!) If you are interested in Nas' teaching us about how the struggle relates to us all go to: http://mixunit.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=11459

NAS - BE A NIGGER TOO (FULL VERSION)

Politics As Usual

A few weeks back I asked my nephew what he wanted for a graduation gift. I know any teenager around his age 16 to 18 years old would suggest they want paper, doe, cheese, bread...etc. Which I was happy to break my oldest nephew off with a few bucks for his hard work throughout High School. Money is essential to the average teenager that is focused on being the next best Rapper or Top Model. To him, he feels like Jay-Z is the G.O.A.T. and Lil' Wayne is the youngest G.O.A.T. He also thinks Nas is a dope MC for being risk taker and always speaking to the youth. The greatest thing my nephew could have ever said was that I was his FAVORITE RAPPER!!! To me that is crazy because he is 18 and I am 9 years older than him. He remembers when I had tapes of In My Lifetime Vol. 1, It Was Written & Life After Death. He remembers that New York Undercover & Martin were the best shows in the 90's. The funniest thing is if it wasn't for me he would probably think just like other kids, that Hip-Hop is all about downloads and ringtone sales. Where did we go wrong?

I TIP my hat to you nephew! You've done your thing throughout your entire 12 years of school. With a 4.5 GPA you have the world in your hands...CONGRATS SHELDON YOU GAVE ME HOPE I CAN DO THIS FOR OUR CITY UNTIL I DIE!!! I PUT ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

NEW MUSIC FROM Q.P. TODAY CHECK OUT......"WATCH THEY MOUTH" & "REVOLVING DOOR" PRODUCED BY: JAPIRO BELOW:

TOMMORROW THE HIP-HOP ALLIANCE SPEAKS...STEPP LO' DOLLA, RAY VIC, JAPIRO, KEYAIRA CHANEL, Q.P., & EDDIE NUMBERS

STAND OUT Style Warz PERFORMANCES:
Japiro (M.E.P.) - OUR WINNER!!! I appreciate the fact that so many people looked at him as a non issue and he played it cool until it was his turn. He was explosive, plus he wasn't even on NO drug and gun talk!!! He won and he delivered lines like, "He's going to hold his sisters down"....I loved that!! We sooooo need MCs like him to balance all of the negativity and misogyny the is characteristic of modern hip hop. I look forward to seeing him come back and do his thing next month.

ICE-T v.s. Soulja Boy

Is Ice-T's Point Truly Valid or Did Soulja Boy Really Tell Em'?

(( Ice-T v.s. Soulja Boy ))
23 June 08 - 15:42
Disclosure: Hip-Hop Heads ONLY!!!

After a long day of work on Friday, I came home and hopped on the internet just as I would do on any other weekday. For some reason Fri. night was different. I saw that Ice-T said, “F**k Soulja Boy! Eat a d**k!” At first, all I could do is laugh my ass off but, I wanted to know why one of the most respected vets in the game would go at one of the "most creative" new artist Hip-Hop has been graced with amongst the ringtone- era. Today, my homie and I had an interesting convo about who is more valid. So, I wanted to going in on this. "Turn the lights even lower!" Hov-

Well maybe Ice-T has some validity to this but, I wanted to hear Soulja Boy's side of the story because I don't think he totally destroyed Hip-Hop. I feel he's part of the reason Hip-Hop was saved. Let me explain, if you will....remember prior to Boyz In The Hood, Menace II Society, Juice, Poetic Justice & Law & Order even exsisted rappers didn't get lead roles in films or sitcoms. For that matter, unless the movie was totally about Hip-Hop no rapper nor singer had a chance until Ice Cube & Master P made their own films and continued to make music and stay relevant. I think Ice-T was really reaching but, who am I to choose sides because if it wasn't for him we would still have edited albums and thus he paved the way for artist to create brands of their own if no one else wanted to invest in you.

Prior to last summer, albums weren't selling until 50 Cent challenged Mr.West to see how many albums they could sell individually. Yeezy won, while Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat" heated up the airwaves on the East Coast. While I spent a weekend in ATL, I found myself screaming Yoooooooooooooooool" for the past 10 months because it was close to our B-More A-Yooooooooooooooooooooooo! Riding the wave of Mims, Soulja Boy & Flo-rid-a continue to rack up ringtone sales of over 7 million respectively between the three artists. While established artist' such as "The Roots" tour and use other alternatives to stack funds other veterans are struggling to make noise in the Hip-Hop community. You have to give some of the "NEW" dudes that are in the game today a certain type of respect for being innovative and using the one outlet we all have, the Internet! Weather you Hate or Love Soulja Boy he made a hit and he was right, Ice-T was using his frustruation as a way to channel his anger because the "O.G.'s are not really selling records anymore. Pac said it best, "Niggas looking like Larry Holmes flabby and sick/Trying to playa hate on my shit man....." It hurts knowing that was a shot @ B.I.G. but, that line welcomes the thought of FRESH & NEW. Watch your children and younger music peers and learn from them. Ice, you should be happy Soulja Boy got rich from his desk at his crib rather than on the corner of his hood. Anyway, do you think "Lil' Ice" really wants it with Soulja Boy? Matter of fact, where's Bow Wow when you need him? Don't just tell Soulja Boy step his lyrics up, tell the rest of these wack ass niggas stepp there lyrics up as well! I can't even lie thanks to

50 Cent, I'm loving Hip-Hop again because he helped Game stand alone and showed Buck how to make good albums. Now, I need some of that Vitamin Water paper myself...LMAO

Shouts out to YouTube, for creating an outlet for people to air and resolve there differences because the word "beef" seems so harsh to the public eye. (In my sarcastic voice) The media can really blow everything out of proportion. What happened to when we used to battle it out on the mic or see whose song is the best? Nowdays, it seems like it's all about who owns the most clothing, liquor, and film companies or who has the most guest appearances in songs or movies. In closing, while you bastards were paying so much attention to Ice-T & Soulja Boy, Lil' Wayne sold a million records his first fucking week!!! The song "A-Milli" held it's own subliminal message and you niggas downloaded and still copped it...I'm still working on the link for the A- Milli Freemix but, in the meantime hit me up and let me know who you think who is right? urbanjustice08@gmail.com

Til Next Time,
