Boasting and bragging is a big part of the rap game. Basically talking sh*t is a lot of what we hear these days.
Lil Wayne just upped the ante on sh*t talking. Bragging that he has a song on his upcoming album that will make other rappers want to quit
“I want other rappers to hear it and say, ‘I quit. I better start making club songs,'" Weezy told Rolling Stone via Rap-Up.
Rolling Stone has reportedly heard the track and give their thumbs up calling the song, “three machine-gunning minutes of adenoidal wordplay topped with a triumphant hook.”
Lil Wayne's track record for making hits is impeccable, this record will probably define his career, at least the first half of it, so maybe he is going all out to make it special.
What do yall think, does Wayne have that one song that will make everyone go "damn!", or is he just boasting and bragging?
The man made the song "Gin and Juice" 17-years ago, and you wait until now to say he's influencing kids to drink?
Snoop is having his high blown by the Marin Institute, who claim the Doggfather is peddling an alcoholic beverage made by Pabst to kids. Blast is a 23.5 ounce drink that has a 12 percent alcohol, comes in several fruity flavors, and is laced with caffeine.
Marin CEO Lee Levingston wants Blast and other drinks like it banned.
"While the federal government was shutting down dangerous caffeinated alcohol, Pabst Brewing Company was cooking up 'Blast,' a super sweet, fruit-flavored, supersized alcopop containing as much alcohol as four and a half cans of beer. "Joose, Four Loko, Tilt, and now Blast are racing to the bottom to harm youth. Senator Padilla's bill should limit such products to one standard-size drink," Marin CEO Lee Levingston said.

From North Carolina to New York, critics are lining up to stop the drink from ever hitting store shelves.
Meanwhile, there's been no comment from Snoop or Pabst about the growing controversy.

Despite his misstep earlier this week on Good Morning America, Chris Brown has a lot to smile about.
Billboard is reporting that Breezy will land in the top spot on Billboard's Top 200 with between 250,000-300,000 units sold. It will mark the 1st time Chris has had an album debut at number 1.
Brown's last cd 'Graffiti' only sold 106,000 copies it's first week out, as the singer dealt with severe backlash from fans and radio stations for assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
If Brown can keep his temper under control in the future he should continue to do well because the talent is definitely there.
It doesn't take much to get a fight started in most college towns. A few too many beers, a little trash talking and there you have it.
That appears to be what happened to a Bloomsburg University student on St. Patrick's Day, although he may not remember what happened.

The punch landed the student in the hospital and police looking for his assailant.

Rappers with face tattoos is one of those things most people don't understand. But that's not stopping emcees like Yung Berg, Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane and Yung L.A. from using their face as a paint canvas.
Count G-Unit CEO, 50 Cent among those who scratch their heads as he watches the trend grow.
In a recent interview with Vibe, Fif let his feeling be known.
“That’s the craziest thing. Not necessarily Gucci, but to tattoo your face says that there’s not a possibility that you can actually walk into a legitimate establishment without makeup covering your face every day. That does not work. It creates a separation. It says, “I’m an artist.” That’s it. That’s the statement you make when you go and tattoo your face...But know that the public will not have interest in you as an artist for life. You have to be phenomenal. Talk to the best that do it and they will tell you that it will take more than you being an artist. It takes marketing, maneuvering to generate for that long. When you got 40-year-old rappers in the game, those guys have maneuvered and survived," 50 said.
50 has even gone so far as to remove all of the tats on his arms to avoid having to sit for hours getting them covered up for his movie roles.
Following yesterday’s much-talked-about “Good Morning America” episode, Chris Brown canceled his press appearances for the day and sought solace in his two favorite hobbies—art and basketball.

But despite the earlier incident, the mood was light.The day wasn’t complete without a release party at Webster Hall, where he was joined by friends and fans including Lloyd Banks and Waka Flocka Flame. Bow Wow even stopped by to perform “Ain’t Thinkin’ ‘Bout You” with Chris for an excited Team Breezy.In related news, ABC has decided not to press charges against Chris following his alleged “GMA” outburst, according to TMZ. In addition, he is still scheduled to perform on next week’s “Dancing with the Stars.”Peep all the photos from Breezy’s release day activities below.
There's no escaping the long arm of the Internal Revenue Service as Ja Rule just found out.
The rapper just pleaded guilty to three counts of tax evasion after not paying taxes from 2004-2008. In addition to the jail time, Rule will have to pay the government more than $1.1 million in tax debts, plus IRS penalties.
"Each of us must pay our fair share to keep this country going," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said in a statement.
Rule could possibly serve five years in prison total. Back in December he pleaded guilty to gun possession and was given a two year sentence.
The federal judge in the case Patty Shwartz, set bail at $500,000. Rule has to be back for sentencing in June. He could face a year in jail and $100,000 fine on each tax evasion count.
