Hip-Hop

The rapper/actor Common is highly upset at Drake. Know why? Because Serena Williams was teaching the corporate mainstream rapper Drake how to play tennis mane.

Has hip hop become a high school musical? I don’t know but I know this Common and Drake beef is kinda childish. Don’t believe me?

Here’s what Common said in his song “Sweet“:

Yeah, man, y’all ni**as man, you soft muthfuckers
Yeah my man, muthafcker
Then come around my crib
You know where I’m from
Some hoes ass ni**as
Singing all around me man, la la la
You aint muthaf-cking Frank Sinatra

Wait there’s more!!!

To Lose a Friend
By Jarred Weisfeld

On November 13th of 2004 I received a phone call late in the afternoon from Dirty’s mom, Cherry Jones. It was to tell me that her son, my dear friend and client Russell, or as she and I called him Rusty, had passed away.

At the time, I was in Florida visiting my parents. I was just in complete shock. Then, minutes later, I received another call from Cherry saying that Dirty was in a coma and that he hadn’t passed away. Moments after that, she confirmed that he had indeed passed away. I remember just walking down the street with my head spinning– confused and shocked at what had just happened. Rusty wasn’t just a client to me, he was a dear friend. He was a friend to everybody he touched. I remember calling Peter Frankel (Dirty’s criminal defense attorney) that night; he was one of Dirty’s biggest supporters. The two of them were close friends and Dirty loved him. He was one of the few people in Dirty’s life whom he really truly trusted. I remember his voice when I told him the news. He was in complete shock. He too had just lost a dear friend. Everybody Dirty touched couldn’t help but love him. He was the kindest soul. Continue Reading…
