I. Die. Reminds me of “I Love Champagne” by Chris Rock. “Ludacris, I bought a jar a mayonnaise when we sent you the beats, and now the sh*ts expired. You’re slower than mayonnaise!” Hil.ari.ous!
Hip-hop comedian Raaaaaaaandy (aka “Parks and Recreation” star Aziz Ansari) and TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek have a rap mixtape on the way. And according to this first introductory track, no MC is safe from their wrath. There are eight A’s in “AAAAAAAANGRY” for a reason.
On the track, Eminem, Drake, Dr. Dre, Ludacris, Jay-Z, Clipse, DOOM, Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Kanye West, and more are all chewed out for failing to deliver promised verses for Raaaaaaaandy and Sitek’s mixtape in a timely manner. Tell ‘em why you mad, Raaaaaaaandy.
(P.S. That’s RZA at the end there.)

Feb 15th
A few I CANNOT BLOG readers were wondering ‘Where was Jay-Z during the remake of ‘We Are The World’?’ Looks like Jay feels “We are the world is like Thriller I don’t think it shouldn’t be touched…We Are The World for me is forever going to be untouchable.”
After watching We Are The World – 25 for Haiti, do you agree with Jay-Z that there should’ve been a new original song made instead of butchering the classic and adding autotune?
