I had no interest in hearing Warning Shots 2, but I heard it was fucking awful.
I remember when I first heard Sai my freshman year at HU in ’01, thought he might be the next Nas with a splicing of Tupac.
Now he’s just looking like another mixtape rapper that couldnt produce in the majors.

Not long afte their dispute over So Icy (and whatever else) Gucci went back to his hotel with a female. This female was a BME (it its BME right? I don’t really keep up with retarded gang shit, anyway…) “spy” sent to get Gucci set up.
Four niggas ran up in Gucci’s room to presumably kill him. Didnt happen. Gucci went Neo post-Morpheus ,(c) me, on them niggas. Left one dead. Said dead mans body was found three days later behind a middle school. Charges were dropped against LaFlare due to lack of evidence.

I hate co-signing violence, especially when its two brothers. But there’s no denying this.

I thought Jeezy didn’t send them, rather he said he put 10k on Gucci’s chain on the radio and those poor bastards tried taking him up on it.

He was arguably the king of NY at one point, when Dipset were at their prime, before the 50 beef.

Two for-profit groups are pushing for one. The Dot Gay Alliance (dotgay.org), out of New York City, is being led by a longtime gay activist. And dotGay (dotgay.com) is being spearheaded by a heterosexual German man in Riga, Latvia, who has incorporated a company in San Francisco.
In other words, there could be hotels.gay, provincetown.gay, match.gay and pride.gay Web sites. (Question: What would the popular Web site gay.com have as its .gay counterpart? Gay.gay? Gaydotcom.gay? Or does it not get a .gay counterpart?)

Gucci beat the murder wrap on self defense.
I heard Jeezy sent some niggas in prison, Crip niggas…to knock out Gucci Mane’s front teeth though…
with a metal pipe….
Gucci got assaulted something serious in prison…his whole front teeth got knocked out like a hockey player…
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:19 pm
I was sold on Sai with the original Warning Shots… convinced Sai was the next best thing, waaayy back in.. 05? Thorough cat with a fuckin brain. And he really had the potential too…Atlantic fucked him and JBlaze’s Fort Knocks label by shelving GSNT for so long… and then Sai started actin a fool.
Favourite things, stocking cap, true story, Shok TV, Pop Quiz, Whoo Kd Freestyle even C’mon Baby still get spin….
BUT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
I’m sure GSNT is truly a banging album, its a shame its so late in the game. Dude shoulda signed to G-Unit, at least he could’ve capitalised.

From what I heard, Jeez tried to distance himself from the incident. But one of the wanna be shooters was a rapper under his wing. He definetly sent them niggas.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Cam was kony…but he got punched by Tru life and cried in the fetal position…
all that drug talk and gun talk…and Tru life walked away unscathed…
Cam was KONY…but his brother/best buddy snaked him…and he did nothing to him…
Cam was KONY…but Jay destroyed this nigga…
Cam was KONY…but Nas ignored him to the point where it frustrated him and he spent interview, mixtape and track after track talking about Nas..
enh…KONY my ass…

Argh… The time period you’re talking about could’ve had 3 KONY contenders, Cam, Ja, and NaS. This isn’t inaccurate, but it’s not the whole story. #noshots

It was about to start. The mixtapes were buzzing and Wanksta dropped in the summer. But Cam at that point had the Diplomats mixtapes dropping at the same frequency, and arguably the same level of quality. Not to mention he had an actual (well received) album that produced two huge radio records.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:23 pm
My brother/best friends slings e-pills at the gay bars, homo clubs and faggot parties..
real talk…he makes a killing…about 2K – 3k a week….
not bad for a young niggas…he drive a beamer…and he iced the fuck out..
them homos fuck with the pills for real..
everytime i go to tijuana…i bring me back my pills, blue diamonds, all type of shit…
thats for my personal use tho…lol
but i got niggas that sling that shit…and make a killing…
homos love pills…no homo…he not gay tho..

October 23rd, 2009 at 12:24 pm
I’ll still cop that Just Blaze produced GSNT if it ever hits the shelf tho.
Shame that title has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Dude was on Rolling Stone back in ’03/04… only cats with a bigger buzz at the time outta NY was 50 and Dipset (and maybe pap…Letter P was dope too btw).Like I said he shoulda signed with Fifty when he had the opportunity, as long as JB still produced the majority of the album.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:26 pm
b-ease is a fucking nerd. type of nigga that works all his life with computers and then gets into rap, because his brother who lives in prison put them on it.
Cam was never kony…you live in DC nigga…go dance to go go…and go listen to wale..
you know nothing about NY shit…you never lived in NY…you not street…
stop listening to mixtapes and getting your info from allhiphop.com
fucking internet stories…and niggas believe them..
probably lived in ny…but in the rich white area..
you are not hood affiliated..
fucking nerd…got you bachelors degree in 3 years…and went on to get a mba…
now you think you know about the streets and cam being kony…
go try and talk to the King of DC…Rayfull Edmonds…ya know…
stay out of ny…bid ness
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:26 pm
the 10k for the so icey chain statement was made on the “Stay Strapped” diss song…..not on the radio
at the end jeezy said he’d give 10k for the chain….it was than played on the radio
plus there is some miss info in that story posted above but he got the basic info right

Fab imo is one of the weakest to be placed on them ‘great NY rappers’
He shouldn’t even be on any top 15 all-time NY rappers list.
In no order..
Nas
Big L
Jay
Cam
Ja Rule
Rae
Meth
Big
Jada
50
Rakim
Mos Def
Beastie Boys
Big Pun
Big Daddy Kane
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Cam, Ja, and NaS.
^^
Naw, quiet as kept, Ja actually started falling off before 50 really started the ether. Back Down and the assorted mixtape disses were 50 kicking away the chair. Jeffery had already put the noose around his neck with that Mary joint and the Bobby Brown single, and the Grease video with Ashanti. The Down Ass Chick remix was probably the only reason the backlash didnt start sooner.
I can see an argument for Nas though. Cam replacing him after the SummerJam fiasco pretty much tells you they were the top 2. I was a Jay stan at the time, but looking back, Ether really did some fucking damage.

October 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 pm
@ B-Ease, If you’re counting mixtape buzz, (no surprise forthcoming), I didn’t know any of that.. mixtape buzz, to me, means absolutely nothing, buncha ECW rappers doing allegedly “great” shit but can’t make a broader audience feel their stuff without a 50-Mania style hypemachine behind it.
Ja had records going throughout the majority of 2002, Cam had a few records, but NaS was effing everywhere. But, I hear what you’re saying, I wasn’t on rap blogs back then (a simpler time, *tear*), or up on the mixtapes (already addressed), and I’ve already gone on record as saying I’m more of a pop rap guy, stuff has to reach a certain point of exposure for me to get it.
Sooo, my mainstreamy induststry opinion is that it was those 3, definitely NaS and Cam as 1-2, with Rule a strong 3rd. The Last Temptation fuckery wasn’t until later on in 02, october, november, around then–and even then, I knew those Murder Inc boys were totally gassed.
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:49 pm
