Continuing in the same direction as Monopoly and Sharades, Papoose has dropped another flawless original song. Chess can be found on that new Kay Slay and it’s straight fire. The verses that caught my ear though:

You sold millions of records but whats next?/you need a couple of bombs from Funk flex/a dis record will make everybody upset/but that’ll make you hot, you playing chess?

Used to be an artist but now you an Exec/you signed a bunch of wack artists at your desk/you make sure they wack so you can sound fresh/I guess they just your pawns, you playing chess?

 

 Who’s he talking to? In my mind, there’s only two guys who those lines can possibly be directed towards…

Judge for yourself:
 

Papoose – Chess 

Not that I care about the size of any rappers bank account, but if you want to get technical Jay is retired. From the Daily News:
 

Jay-Z has leapfrogged over Sean (Puffy) Combs as the most-moneyed hip-hop mogul – but Combs is cool with that.

"I’m just proud of Jay-Z. I’m happy it’s one of my friends," Combs told us at the Audemars Piguet boutique on E. 57th St. Tuesday as Jay stood by. "We’re gonna trade that No. 1 spot back and forth. He’ll give it back to me next year."

Jay-Z told us: "It’s all in the plan. I didn’t even expect it this year."

Puffy’s personal wealth – which Fortune mag estimated last year at $315 million – has not changed. But after Universal Music Group bought out Roc-A-Fella Records, which Jay-Z co-founded with Damon Dash and continues to run as president and CEO of Def Jam, the retired rapper’s personal pile spiked to about $320 million. The rich get richer: They both have signature watch deals at Audemars.

But Jay-Z doesn’t spend all his time in the back of a limo. Warner Music Group Chairman "Lyor [Cohen] and I rode our bikes to the Killers concert in Central Park this weekend," he told us. "I had such a great time."

There sure is alot of Nas news lately, what does he have an album dropping or somethin?

From AllHipHop:

DID NORE GIVE NAS FLOWERS?

Why am I hearing that Nas got hit in the head with a flower pot by N.O.R.E.? WHUT? Now, this I find hard to fathom, but this is what I have been informed of, whether its true or not. I heard this happend at a recent party for Puffy/ Bad Boy. Which party? I don’t know. Where? I don’t know. Anyway, it goes that Nas was supposed to be featured in Swizz’s wife Mashonda’s video shoot. J Records recently got clearance and serviced the record, but Nas never showed up to the supposed shoot. Apparently, nobody knew what was going on, because they never got any word from Nas. All of a sudden – N.O.R.E. was with Swizz the day of the shoot and knew about how things transpired. At the Puffy party in question, Noreaga asked him why he didn’t show up. One thing lead to another, harsh words and – BLAM. 

I read somewhere else that what actually happened was Nore threw it but missed and got some dirt on Nas and Kelis.  I also heard that they started scrapping and Nas got a few good shots in before it was broken up.

Yeah, I thought that headline would get your attention. I’m not gonna co-sign this theory and I’ll tell you why in a minute, but I’m gonna post it here cuz it sure does sound a little suspect. On Common’s new album he has this banger called Chi City, and if your like me and Sal you had the album like 2 months ago and recognize the fire he’s spitting on this song. So I came across this post that is alledging that the following lyric is intended for the little homey Nas:

I rap with the passion of Christ, nigga cross me
Took it out of space and niggaz thought they lost me
I’m back like a chiroprac’ with b-boy survival rap
It ain’t ninety-fo’ yo we can’t go back
The game need a makeover
My man retired, I’ma takeover
Tell these halftime niggaz break’s over

I went ahead and bolded all of the suspicious references for easier reading. But you see what I see right?  It ain’t 94,  I’ma Takeover,  these Halftime niggas….that could easily be mistaken for shots at Senor Jones. I can’t even lie, I didn’t even catch that Halftime reference until I read the lyrics written out. Anyway, like I said I’m not co-signing because for one Common isn’t really a big beef M.C. Don’t get me wrong he can spit battle raps with the best of them, just ask Cube, but he isn’t usually the one who starts shit like that. And why would he go at Nas anyway? I know your boy gets a little crazy sometimes and disses people for no good reason, but I don’t remember him ever going at Com. But the main reason I don’t buy this is: Nas and Common are supposed to tour together this summer.

So The NBA Finals are all set to pop off tonight and the word on the street is everyone would have rather seen Phoenix vs Miami instead of the two best teams in the L.  Well, I’m here to tell you otherwise.  Dunks are great, no look passes are beautiful and Dwayne Wade carving up defenses gets me as excited as Shaq does when he is about to carve up a sandwich with extra mayo and anything else that will help him gain more weight.

But the reality of the situation is these are the two best teams in the league and although I am rooting for San Antonio, It really is too close to call in my opinion for me to sit here and bet the house on either team. Rather than bore you with your normal preview/predictions, Let’s break down position for position and see who has the edge.

C – Ben Wallace vs Nazr Mohammad – Sure Mohammad is named after arguably the greatest MC ever but thats where the comparision to greatness stops. Nazr is one of the few players who can foul out of a street game of 5 on 5, nevermind the league.  Ben Wallace is just the opposite, he can’t foul out if he tried. His afro and Ultimate Warrior armbands alone give him the edge. Advantage – Pistons

PF – Rasheed Wallace vs Tim Duncan – First off, let me say I am a HUGE fan of Rasheed Wallace or as his teammates call him "Rosco". Not only did he attend UNC and has no problem telling David Stern how he’s an undercover racist, he is one of the most versatile big men in the L. On the flipside, I am a huge Tim Duncan fan because he is everything I’m taught not to like. Fundamentally sound, quiet, never been arrested and probably never listened to M.O.P a day in his life. But he is just to good. What it comes down to is the 8th Ave Israelite vs Mr. Whitebread. And anyone will tell you an Israelite will win everytime. But not in the NBA, sorry Rosco. Advantage – Spurs

SF – Tayshaun Prince vs Bruce Bowen – Is it just me or does Bruce Bowen look like the protype Create A Player in NBA Live? Thought so.  And does Tayshaun Prince look like a full grown fetus? Both of these guys on defense are major pains in the ass, no homo. Tayshaun got a better offensive game than Bowen and thats basically because Bowens offensive game is just that, offensive. Advantage – Pistons

SG – Rip Hamilton vs Manu Ginobli – Let me say this, if theres a ghetto in Argentina, Manu lived there. This guy is about as reckless as a parent who lets their kids spend the night @ Michael Jacksons house. He will try to dunk on anyone and disregard them and talks trash in who knows what language.  Rip Hamilton looks like Winky Wright but he’s not knocking Manu out. Advantage – Spurs

PG – Chauncy Billups vs Tony Parker – WeWe (no homo) France best PG is also one of the best in the L but also one of the most inconsistant. Chauncy Billups should be able to post up or shoot over Mr. Desperate Housewife all day but Parker should be able to blow past him all day. I’m gonna have to bitch up and put this one at a draw. They both won championships, this series will be the tiebreaker. Advantage – Draw

That being said, when the finals are over I will come back and edit this piece and make it seem like I picked the winner from the begining.

White people hate Sheed, which is why I like him.

I don’t know why niggas are on some "Oooooh Game dissed 50 at
Summerjam" shit like nobody saw that coming. Give me a fucking break. Yayo’s bum ass been all over the radio and mixtapes running off at the mouth about how his father boss is a better rapper because of the size of his bank account. 50 is giving interviews talking about how he’d beat Game (and Em) in a fight and even if he didn’t niggas would come back and shoot him. So what the fuck you expect Game to do at Summerjam? Plus you gotta remember your man’s homey got shot in the leg over this shit and he had to leave it at that in the name of good publicity, so of course he’s tight. I mean look at that guys face in the pictur up there. Does he look like he’s happy to be there? 

Now, AllHipHop.com’s rumors section is reporting that some of Game’s cribs got shot at recently. That may or may not be true but something tells me it’s about to be poppin this summer. That’s not even the first time his crib got shot at, it happened a few days after his album dropped. Allhiphop is also saying that there were 30 dudes outside Hot97 yesterday protesting with G-Unot signs. That’s funny shit. As a matter of fact there are supposedly gonna be protests outside of alot of 50′s concerts this summer.

Update: Allhiphop has flicks from a protest outside Violator Management, which manages 50:

Yesterday a judge decided that David Darnell Brown, you may know him as Young Buck of G-Unit, must stand trial for stabbing money at the Vibe awards last year. Buck’s lawyer is talking about: "We’re confident when all the truth comes out, he’ll be exonerated". To which I say: Guy you can’t be serious. You know the stabbing was caught on video right? This shit reminds me of when Chris Rock was talking about the R.Kelly video and how he denied it was him: "We know what you look like motherfucker!" Nah, but seriously though he should be aight, I mean look at that face, does he look like he could hurt a fly?

I haven’t really been paying attention to this guy’s trial, except for whatever I see in headlines and catch on the news, but I know this. Right now as we speak, 12 people are deciding if old MJ is gonna spend the next 20 years in the custody of the California State Department of Corrections. Everybody jokes about how sad a site it would be if this freak ends up in prison, but how bad could it really be? Well if Jackson is convicted he will almost definitely end up in the SHU (Secure Housing Unit) at the California State Prison at Corcoran. Some of the countries most notorious criminals are housed right in that same unit, people like Charles Manson, and Sirhan Sirhan, the dude who shot Robert Kennedy. So, you’d think that he’d be good, ‘cuz that’s a protective custody unit right? That’s not what some inmates think. Here’s what one dude on death row had to say:

“The system is so corrupt, the guards will sell their daughters for a dime to make a buck. Paedophiles? Sweet Jesus, if Jacko is found guilty, and I hope he ain’t, cos we love his music, he lets us all down, yeah? His face, his mind, his being, is gonna collapse in this system, and he won’t be wearing no smile, like he is today.”  

                                                                                               

He probably ain’t lying since guards at Corcoran used to setup fights between prisoners they knew hated each other and bet on who would live. Here are some more fun facts about where Mj could be heading:

8 Corcoran officers have been indicted for arranging prison fights for recreation

9 months after opening, guards shot and wounded 3 inmates in 8 weeks

In 10 years of operation, Corcoran guards have shot and killed 7 inmates

Officer James Townsend was convicted of assaulting an inmate who was held down while his genitals were zapped with a Taser

A corps of officers wearing black masks abused inmates during cell searches.

Jackson will get to rub elbows with several of California dept. of corrections hardest gangs such as:

Nuestra Familia (NF), Nazi Low Riders (NLR), Aryan Brotherhood (AB), Mexican Mafia (EME), Black Guerrilla Family (BGF), Texas Syndicate (TS), and the Northern Structure (NS).

Oh, and let’s not forget the charges he’s facing: 10 counts including child molestation, conspiracy, and providing alcohol to a minor. We all know what happens to child molestors in prison, PC or not they get no love. So now it comes down to whatever those 12 people in that room decide, which to him means either that hell hole in the Cali hills or back to Neverland Ranch and the fantasy world he lives in.

So last night was Hot 97′s annual Summerjam concert and as usual I’m on my grizzly with the highlights. From what I’m hearing though there wasn’t the usual level of drama that Summerjam is infamous for.  So here goes:

• Papoose performed Sharades at the pre-show festival in the parking lot.
• As usual, they fucked up Jadakiss mike, this time it just happened to be during ‘Checkmate’….hummm sounds like a conspiracy to me
• The God M.C., Jay-Hova came out with Kanye during his perfromance and did Encore and Public Service Announcement, and of course was the best performance of the show, but what else do expect from Hovie?
• Game came out rocking a Met’s Jersey (?) carrying a baseball bat and did his famous "G-Unit can suck my Dick" routine.
• Game held up a G-Unit chain and threw it in the crowd.
• Game also had some dude dressed up like a rat come out on a bike and they threw him a fake beatdown on stage.
• Snoop was the last perfromance and niggas started leaving during it.

Other highlights and perfromances: Remy Martin and Capone during the pre-show festival.  Ludacris, Cassidy and Cam during the actual show. And that’s pretty much it. Pretty boring huh? I know, I’m glad they didn’t get me for 75 bucks this year. Here’s a review from the NY Times. And here are some flicks. I’ll be updating this post with more news as it becomes available. Holla.

Updates: SOHH has a breakdown of each performance. 

Here’s MTV’s coverage.  AllHipHop has an article and some flicks too.
