Rakim is said to be known as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Who’s to blame for such a heavy statement? You are, or at least those of you who support such self-proclaimed idols. Because of that, you’ve all let it all go straight to dudes head. Know why? Because Rakim refers to himself as GOD! WTF???

Here’s a dude who’s from a much earlier era than Jay Z, yet ‘Hova’ is doing laps and laps around Rakim, when he should have been holding down the “King of New York” title.

Eric B discovered Rakim back in the day, moving the (then unknown rapper) from Long Island, New York to ‘The Big Apple.’. It’s Eric B’s golden touch that transformed Rakim into the superstar we all know today. As a result, Rakim whose real name is William Griffin, was born a star. Both his style and image were sparked from the visionary mind of his partner, Eric B. So…for those of you who have any inclination that Rakim did it all by himself, YOU ARE ALL DEAD WRONG!!!

Most black kids who love the art of hip/hop look up to Rakim. I’m sorry to say, those kids are being totally misguided. Know why? Because the Rakim they idolize so much truly has a deep dark side…which I’m about to reveal to you. Read on…

The group ‘Eric B and Rakim’ severed their ties, in the early 90’s. I don’t know exactly why, but I did try getting at Eric to uncover the reasoning behind their break-up, and he was not available for comment.

Now I’m just speculating here, (but armed with both my credible sources and my great logic). I’m sure one of the reasons was because Rakim went MIA for countless shows and interviews. I wonder why? Were drugs to blame for his sudden absence? It’s no secret that dude has been smoking cocaine for some time now. What’s worse is he’s now calling himself a GOD! WTF??? I’d say that’s very ungodly! I mean, how hypocritical is that? (more…)

Old Dirty Bastard’s lengthy battle against drugs is no secret to many. Now, the leader of ‘Wu Tang Clan’, ‘Rza’ is speaking out, openly admitting that he shouldn’t have waited so long to try and lend a helping hand in breaking ‘Old Dirty Bastard’s infamous addiction.

I for one have personally fallen witness to the drug-induced antics of ‘Old Dirty Bastard’. Once, at the Sunset Strips’ ‘Key Club,’ I saw a crack smoke-fueled ODB actually pull down his pants, and expose his full frontal while performing his then hit single “Shimmy Shimmy Ya”…WTF!?!?!?! I immediately left the concert!!! Know why? Cuz I ain’t into seeing naked men MANE! (more…)

Whitney Houston’s appearance on Good Morning America was not a good move!  Everyone is talking shit on Whitney just because her voice cracked while she was singing. Give Whitney a break – she was experimenting with drugs like crack cocaine and weed and she made it through alive. I’m not asking you to have pity for her because lord knows she doesn’t need it (her bank account is larger than most of ours)…

Whitney’s a diva!  Her reality show with Bobby was the best!  Why do you think Britney Spears and Kevin The Fatso Federline decided to get one of their own?  Whitney’s a leader.  And, she’s working with who else but one of the best in the game by her side – Clive Davis.  Everyone in America is addicted to something, so why do we sit back a wait to laugh the minute that someone takes a turn for the worse because of that  addiction…what a cruel society.
