So Soulja Boy Was…Just Joking?
11.14.08
It seemed like “hating” bloggers’ worst criticims of Soulja Boy were validated in late October when Toure released an interview with the Supa-manning rapper where he said, “Shout out the slave masters! Without them we’d still in Africa…we wouldn’t be here to get this ice and tatoos!”
Insert: Hysterical backlash from every thinking person in America who caught wind of this.
But earlier this week, hiphopdx.com featured an interview with Soulja Boy (whose album drops in mid-December) about his inflammatory, insane comments. Soulja Boy claims that his comments were taken out of context and that he was actually being sarcastic because he didn’t want to do the interview with Toure anyway. He says that he had seen the interview that he did with his pals, Bow Wow and Omarion and he knew that Toure would be out to hurt him.
“He was out for me to say something stupid so he can hurt me with [it],” Soulja Boy said. “And that’s what he did. So you know, it is what it is. Man, fuck Toure.“
Now, I’l lbe the first to admit that Toure is a little annoying. And yes, he does seem to like to try to bait artists into being stupid with his questioning. But is it really his fault if they take the bait?
So what do you think? Was Soulja Boy really being sarcastic? Were his comments taken out of context? Or is he really a dumb ass? You decide.
4 Years After Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s Passing, His Mom Speaks
11.13.08
The following is a letter Cherry Jones, Ol’s Dirty Bastard’s mom, would like to release to the media (in her own words) -
Four years ago today marks one of the most tragic days in my life when I lost my son Rusty whom many of you know as Ol’ Dirty Bastard. For the past four years I have sat back and watched certain individuals try and tarnish my sons beliefs. My son loved every single one of his children and every single one of their mothers and provided for them all the best he could when he was alive. My son was an extremely generous soul. In the past four years, my daughter has portrayed me very poorly in law, Icelene. While I am very upset with my daughter in law’s false remarks towards me, I am more upset by the way the other children Rusty had fathered and cherished are not being taken care of properly. I am also outraged that it appears Icelene has been diverting money away from the other children and taking out personal loans against Rusty’s Estate Assets. She has gone through numerous attorneys and her new attorneys have racked up numerous amounts of legal fees and have accomplished nothing. The fans want my son’s last album, which they are not allowing Koch to drop. Read more

Future Faith
11.13.08
I look at the little kids now and I realize that they can quite possibly grow up in a world where they can truly believe that they can do anything that they want. If not for history class they wouldn’t even understand the incredible leap that having an African American president is. They may not even look at the president as black or white they will likely just see The President, whatever his skin color. This is the beauty of kids and it’s the beauty of change, yet the way that they should feel about their ability to accomplish goals should be light years beyond our thinking in grade school.

Palin In Comparison
11.12.08
One thing that I knew was going to happen once Barack Obama was elected was that the Republican Party would start pointing fingers at each other and they are doing just that. When John McCain selected Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate everyone said he was nuts; everyone democrat that is, and now all of a sudden since he lost, even republicans are trying to blame the loss on Palin.

White Guilt is Over? Really? We Never Wanted It!
11.12.08
I knew that this was coming when Barack Obama got elected. Still, I could have fried a couple of eggs atop of my gradually receding hairline after I read an atrocious, reprehensible article penned by Mr. Tom Adkins in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, entitled “White Guilt? Done; Over; History”. Here is an excerpt from the article that reveals the abominable thought process of Mr. Adkins and others of his ilk who ‘claim’ that the social monstrosity called racism has been slain now that Obama is moving into the White House.
