MTV Shows

Here's a clip of 50 in a recent interview discussing details about his upcoming project and the recent beef between Soulja Boy and Fabolous on Twitter.

Industry Rappers Continue To Beef Through Twitter

Let the shit-talk through social media begin! Actually, it's all been going on for some time now. "Twitter-Beef", as the phrase has been coined, is popping up more often on blogs and other hip hop media outlets.

Take for example the newly publicized "Twitter-beef" between young rap artist Soulja Boy and veteran rap recording artist Fabolous. No doubt, this all has to do with that hoe Kat Stacks! (LOL)

Despite what started the feud, it seems the more industry rappers who become involved in their own social networks usually end up in some type of conflict through a misunderstanding or just flat out saying something to catch media attention.

Snoop Dogg's "Pronto" Secures Placement During Stanley Cup Finals

Here is another great example of hip hop/rap music placements on TV. Snoop Dogg's single "Pronto" featuring Soulja Boy aired during this year's NHL Stanley Cup Finals.

This is great music marketing at work! To further promote his latest studio album release "Malice In Wonderland", Snoop was able to achieve a placement for his newest single. During the live broadcast which is viewed by tens of millions of people world wide, the track plays with a mash-up of mixed footage from the finals.

Also check out Eminem's "Not Afraid", produced by Toronto's own hip hop producer Boi-1da which also got a placement during the Stanley Cup Finals.

Big Week for Hip Hop On The Billboard

HIP HOP AIN'T GOING ANY WHERE !

At least that's what I yell at anyone who questions hip hop's future, or rap music's successful status in the music industry. You can't argue with the stats when they come out, so here it is, this week's top 10 on the Billboard hot 100 charts...

1. Black Eyed Peas - "Boom Boom Pow" *
2. Lady GaGa - "Poker Face" (yes, still !)
3. Jamie Foxx featuring T Pain - "Blame It" *
4. Pitbull - "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" *
5. Kid Cudi - "Day N Nite" *
6. Beyonce - "Halo" *
7. 3OH!3 - "Don't Trust Me" ~
8. Flo Rida featuring Wynter - "Sugar" *
9. Jeremih - "Birthday Sex" *
10. Soulja Boy Tell em featuring Sammie - "Kiss Me Thru The Phone" *

The *'s mark the 8/10 songs on the top 10 that I think are hip hop/urban music. That's a pro dominant 80% of hip hop presence in the top 10 ! What I also got from this was learning of a new music duo from Colorado.

I had to look up the 7th listing, "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3 on YouTube just to hear the track for the first time. It wasn't half bad actually it was pretty f'in hilarious when I watched some of the video while listening to the song. Check it out for your self and let me know what you think. I thought it was decent enough.

Anyway the whole point of this rant is hip hop continues to run shit in the main stream music sector. It's the most competitive genre during these times in my opinion, due to the fact that hip hop culture is fun and right now during rough times everyone can use some fun. Music is fun that's why there are so many hip hop/rap artists today as the number continues to sky rocket (believe me, I've dug deep into the depths of the million of hip hop producers and rap artist's MySpace pages).

Everybody wants to rap, live breath and love hip hop, it's a fun culture. It is a permanent fixture of entertainment, in our movies, TV shows, mags and video games. Plus if you are talented or even an entertaining artist that can be related to by millions, you can build a profitable music business.

That's the beauty of the hip hop world, I think, it promotes self improvement, success and good quality of life. At least that is the impression that I get when I look at a Billboard top 10 that is pro dominantly 80% HIP HOP MUSIC ! We aint going anywhere baby, HIP HOP WE IN HERE !
