Gillie tears down Rap City

Wow it's been a while since my last post, all is quiet in the land of Hip-Hop beef I suppose, or maybe not... My dude Gillie checked in with Rap City and blessed the booth with a gem, take a guess who he drops subliminals on. Better yet take a guess who he reminds you of in the booth with his word play, swagger, even mouth movements. Yep Lil' Wayne. There's no denying that Weezy F Baby and Gillie must have spent a lot of time together the question is whether or not you believe Gillie when he says he wrote most of "The Carter" album. Somehow I think it's very believable that Wayne was influenced by Gillie. At some point around 2003 to 2004 something besides late puberty changed Wayne's rap style forever. Gone were his "wobbly, wobbly, drop it like it's hot" days and in came the Mixtape King we know today. No coincidence that Gillie was working with Cash Money at that same period huh?

See for yourselves, despite the fact that this video was recorded from a TV screen it's nice!





The Transformation...


Wayne BG (Before Gillie)




Wayne AC (After Carter)




Look familiar???? Small Gillie diss thrown in there towards the end. Wonder what kind of "medicines" Wayne was on when he did that freestyle!

Jim Jones sleeping with the enemy?

GGGG G-Unit! Are we only weeks away from hearing the Dipset Capo (self- proclaimed) utter those words? 50 Cent and Cam'ron have been toying with each other since February without it really spilling into anything dramatical and right from the get Jimmy told the world that this beef had nothing to do with him and the rest of the Diplomats. Then the rumours of bad blood between Jim and Cam were confirmed when Jones threatened to "kick Cam out" of the Dips for what was bad leadership direction. No one really knows what happened but I think it could be down to a number of reasons:

1. Cam'ron mulled on the idea of re-teaming with Mase and siging him to the Diplomats at the risk of offending Jimmy who wants nothing more to do with the kid he admits taught him how to rhyme back in High School. Cam eventually killed the deal but the damage may have been done.

2. There is that now notorious footage of Cam'ron getting the f*ck outta dodge while Jimmy had his lights knocked out at a Rucker basketball game. I guess Cam realized he has way too much to live for with his 2 lambs and all.

3. Before "Ballin" Jim Jones put out a slew of sub par wannabe gangster albums that no one paid attention to and rightly so. Cam'ron got some nice publishing of all off Jim's work and I guess it only became an issue when Jones hit superstar status and wanted Cam'ron to get a smaller slice. Business is business and true to the "School of Diddy" Cam'ron told Jimmy where to go. He is the CEO after all and that comes before buddies if you want to make it to the top.

Well I think Jimmy is just trying to get Cam's attention now and he recently said that finding Cam'ron is like finding Nemo. Enter 50 Cent and his millions...
