Papoose Facing Suit Over “Ambulance” Video
I mentioned this in passing before. It turns out Pap is facing a lawsuit for tricking an EMT crew into appearing in the video for his Uncle Murda dis “Ambulance.”
Bed-Stuy Volunteer Ambulance Corp. founder Rocky Robinson, says rapper Papoose, whose real name is Shamele Mackie, snookered him into allowing an ambulance and his paramedics to be part of the project.
“His people told us the video would be about the neighborhood and how we respond to save lives,” Robinson said. “We don’t want to be a part of something where somebody gets hurt.”
Robinson says he now plans legal action, saying Papoose “probably hasn’t got much, but we’ll sue anyway. Our image is everything to us.”

LF- that new Dizzee (sp?) Rascal feat Bun B jawn isn’t too bad, and I hate Dizzee Rascal…when did Bun B become the collabo king, though?
^^^^^
Bun B is a big fan of UK music…He’s trying to bring Dizzee to Rap-A-Lot…
UGK & Diz’ did a few songs together…Bun’s on his Tony Hawks…
& Yeah Lo K, that Busta tune is heavy…Busta will run rings around ALOTTA MCs

LeBron vs. DeShawn had been mainly an off-court rivalry, prompted in part by Stevenson calling James overrated, and extending to involve rap megastar Jay-Z and one-hit wonder Soulja Boy. James’ pal Jay-Z created a song dissing Stevenson that was played at a D.C. club this weekend.
“He’s worth $500 million, and he’s writing songs about me,†Stevenson said before tipoff. “What does that say about DeShawn Stevenson? Ballin’!â€

Busta isnt the GOAT by any stretch, but I always maintained that if every great in hiphop at their primes where in a cypher, Bus has a good chance of being the last man standing…

**I can’t say shit about “She-male”, except that since that name leaked, Papoose has been getting a rack of phone calls from Ma$e and Eddie Murphy about doing collabos….
For real, though, it’s a better name than “Papoose”…

bun has alwaysbeen the collabo king. dont forget he was down wit Master P back in the early 90’s. I think that was the first place I heard him… I think it was down south hustlers compilation album.

Dammit, MTF…great minds, lol….
Doesn’t look good for the Wizards’ chances of retaining Agent Zero:
Arenas was so “distracted†and “flustered†by the way things ended, he forgot about his postgame ritual of throwing his jersey into the stands to give a fan a souvenir.
Whatever emotional lift he might have given his teammates, whatever excitement his mere presence might have given the crowd, Arenas was not exactly helpful at the outset. When he sat with 3 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter, his line gave whole new meaning to his nickname “Agent Zeroâ€: zero points, zero field-goal attempts, zero foul shots, one assist, one foul, and four of Washington’s five turnovers.
Arenas’ first points didn’t come until a reverse layup in the third quarter, and he finished with 10 in a series-high 32 minutes.
“This is not my team,†Arenas said. “This is Antawn’s and Caron’s team.â€

MTF: I was mad at P becasue of the advance copy. He most likely got the bad reviews from the advance. but all the songs are different on the retail. this cd is cerified classic
April 28th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Nah, Busta aint the GOAT…
But he is one OF the greatest to do it & criminally underrated…
Live Performance (a REAL live perfomance, not 50 ppl on stage)
Originality
Versatility
Flow
Longevity
Charisma
Showmanship
He’s got a good argument to be at the top of all those things…And been in this since LONS & he’ll still pick up the mic with Papoose & not get outshined…
I never understood why Busta never gets paid his dues
How can you be so successful and STILL be underrated??
April 28th, 2008 at 10:26 am
daps Ike…I guess so homie ha…I was like wait that looks like…change those 2 letters and …yup. lol!

I see…Im not a P fan at all, but I wont pass judgement on the retail on HNIC2…but on the advance I like maybe 5 tracks…I really dig that “My World is Empty Without You”…

Busta getting called one of the best to ever do it?
I wish I had time to list the emcee’s who are better. But I don’t, because I’ll be dead in about 50 years time and I wouldn’t have got half way by that point…

His persona and those big budget videos overshadowed the fact that he was (is) an actual MC. Catch-22 tho, because he wouldnt have had half the success without.
HNIC 2 is dope, but I still maintain that leaving off “Still Slaves” and “My World is Empty” are unforgivable mistakes…

I’m most def certian there are a good few that are better than Busta but damn Soul he’s not that bad…dudes had a good career…the past few years and the hulked up more angrier styled busta has been kinda so so, but still…
April 28th, 2008 at 10:45 am
*daps d.billa*
I was actually really pleasantly surprised at HNIC 2… hearing the opening track talking about forget the other shit and stock up on weapons while decrying the illuminati was unexpected…
I need a couple more listens, but I think it’s better than the first one… it makes me wonder why he doesn’t rap like that all the time…
