Where do I start???
For as far back as I can remember, I've admired Jermaine Dupri as a tastemaker, culture curator and record producer. So when, at the 0:13 mark of this latest segment of Life + Times' The Truth with Elliott Wilson video, I saw MC Hammer make an appearance in his place. I was floored with utter disappoint and disbelief. Whoever is over there chopping these videos up, has to do better. I know a shit-load of video editors who will gladly replace that man's spot and never make a mistake like that. And the nerve of the team to include that dropped ball, just before some Kendrick Lamar video editing criticism. The irony is impeccable.
Digressing...
Congrats to JD and the rest of the So So Def family for more recently celebrating their 20th year anniversary. Longevity in hip-hop is rare and whenever you can stamp that to your brand, you've won. Jay, you're a cool dude for showing up and showing out for the love. That was dope. Salute, my g.
Moving forward, Kanye. You have to stop. I'm on my way to putting you on that Lupe Fiasco list. Is this a ploy to get attention? Or are you really drawin? Like, naturally? Either way, please stop. Your music is enough. I think "Suit and Tie" is one solid ass record by the way.
Lastly, Kendrick. I have to agree with Elliott here. I didn't get the "Poetic Justice" video. And I think I've seen every John Singleton-directed movie...even that really bad one... I had to watch it a few times to really digest it, outside of the hype of the record. You usually deliver, and unless I'm really missing something, you may have missed the mark on this one, kid. You should do a Decoded. All pun everything.
JD brings JAY-Z to the ATL. Kanye goes on a rant in London. And Kendrick Lamar releases a new thought-provoking video. Elliott Wilson rounds up of the biggest stories in hip-hop.
