Rap and Hip Hop Chat

Come on in to the Hip Hop chat and talk about all things hip hop. I moderate the chat so if there are any problems just email me at MWALL614@AOL.COM and I will review and get back to you as soon as possible. Use the Hip Hop chat to discuss today's hip hop news, new albums, or just hip hop music in general. The Hip Hop chat room was just recently added to my blog. Rap is seriously coming back in 2009, with Eminem's new album, Jay-Z maybe a Dr. Dre album so get in here and chat about rap and new rap albums coming out this year. This rap chat is not censored really, except by chat rolls TOS so make sure you read that before chatting. The hip hop and rap chat room is up and running finally, and if you have any problems with it freezing just use the tab in the lower right hand corner to pop out the rap and hip hop chat room! Enjoy!

Eminem's Relapse is Dope

Eminem's new album Relapse is dope, its hot, its the new Marshall Mathers LP. It's what we have all been waiting for, for the past 4 1/2 years. Eminem dropped a seriously ill album in Relapse. So ill, that it will probably land him in jail. Seriously this is Eminem's darkest album ever. In 2009 Eminem came back hard with Relapse, and with Relapse two ready to drop later in 2009, fans have to be excited. Every song on Eminem's Relapse is good. And for sure this will be the top album of 2009, it's already sold more records then anybody else in 2009. So, if you don't got Eminem's Relapse album go out and get it, and get Relapse two when it drops later this year because Relapse is seriously dope! Eminem, your the greatest MC ever! We've all been waiting for this for so long! Thank you Eminem! Relapse is everything I expected it to be and more!

Can we get back to the 90's and 80's Hip Hop?

Seriously Hip Hop over the last few years has decreased in quality so much, that it's been hard to listen to the radio the past five or so years. Does anyone out there feel me? I mean even when somebody does put out a good album these days, it becomes so commercialized and "I got money" that the original message the rapper is tarnished. Even the beats sound like garbage these days. I honestly give new rap a listen to see if it's any good, with an open mind, because I love hip hop but this is getting ridiculous.

Like in my previous post hopefully 2009 will be a great year for hip hop, but could it be the LAST year for hip hop? Is hip hop dead? I mean this debate has been going on for a while no, I say no. But at this rate, it's definitely on it's way to dying. The whole "Hip hop is dead" talk started in the early 2000's which were a bad time for hip hop, but there were gems that came out and the scene got revived. Now it's looking even grimmer, what do you all think? What do you all listen to these days?

50 Cent and Rick Ross have some serious beef!

Serious beef between 50 cent and Rick Ross has started! There has already been several diss tracks exchanged. 50 cent has came out with a track called "Officer Ricky", a jab at Rosses former law enforcement ties. 50 cent has also been taking shots at Lil Wayne as well. 50 cent today said he vowed to destroy Rick Ross in an interview. While beef is sometimes good for the industry, it can get ugly. Remember Biggie and Tupac anyone?
Below is a Rick Ross interview explaining exactly why he has beef with 50 Cent.

Have Gun, Will Travel Remake Starring Eminem Slated for 2010

Here's yet another Shady project that keeps getting pushed back. Eminem is slated to star in an upcoming film called "Have Gun, Will Travel" based on a T.V series from the late 50's.

The series was an old western based on a character called Paladin, which Eminem will be playing. Is this a chance for Eminem to start an acting career after he retires from rap? We'll see.

It won't be a western though, that's for sure. It's going to be a modern remake, which should be very interesting.

The movie is slated for release in 2010, after being pushed back from a 2008 release. It seems like lately, the only new news on any of Slim Shady's projects is that they keep getting pushed back :SIGH:.

Another Rap Movie Coming Out

Another Rap Movie, this time starring Run-DMC will come out. Does anyone know of a release date for this movie? It seems like yet another attempt to profit on or, from a more optimistic point of view, extend Jam Master Jays Career.

More information on the Run-DMC rap movie can be found at this web site.

Biggie movie Notorious getting bad reviews.

Biggies "new movie" Notorious has been getting bad reviews. People are upset that the people they picked to play Puff Daddy,Biggie and Tupac don't even look like the characters. My friend told me the movie "sucks". I have yet to see it and probably won't. It is amazing how people are so greedy to keep making money of Tupac and Biggies legacy. This has been going on for years, as many loyal Tupac and Biggie fans though.

Although since I haven't seen the movie, I can't really say anything too terrible about it. Is there anyone out there who thinks this is a good movie, or has any opinions to offer up on it? Comment back.

Meanwhile you can read a more positive review of the movie "Notorious" here.
