The Mercedes Benz line of cars have never really impressed me too much. They always just seemed to be too much money for just the name, and maintenance costs can be high as well. Lately I have been hanging out in a different part of the city. I call it MBenz land. The Benz’ are run rampant here. One that has particularly taken my breath away several times, is the jet black Mercedes Benz S63 AMG. I went and test drove one the other day just because I want to get one. Let me jump right in.

Akon

So you probably have heard the news already. Akon’s past is not what he describes it to be. While I have yet to hear his plea for ghetto credibility, I will start by mentioning we call wanna be tough guys, “Telephone Thugs”. You know them. The same guys that may have called your cell phone before acting all hard, and when push comes to shove, the are the last guys that wanna play the yard and shoot the hands.

I’m not one to call anyone a bumbaclot, but c’mon Akon. If you straight fabricated your entire ghetto credibility to get where you are, I have one word for you.

INGENIOUS! I love it. You know what sells, you know what the street wants, and I can guarantee you; the ladies will still buy your music. Do you brethren!

 

Check it.

If you guys are loyal Mobb Deep fans, you can remember in the early parts of the century when Prodigy was dropping singles and his own mixtapes. If you’re like me, you miss those bangers and Prodigy’s whole theme. He’s seem to have gotten very morose over his course of aging. I am not hating on the guy, but I can tell you this. I miss P. He has said some things that have done nothing but aggravate me from his music, as well as make me consider him as someone who has fallen off.

We all know he is locked up behind bars for being a fool. Am I going out to get a “Free P” shirt? Hell nah. Will I shout on my blog how much he ain’t poppin’, and then go and secretly get his album and review it in the corner of my house? Of course!

H.N.I.C. 2; I can tell you this much. I’m on track 3 and I like what I am hearing. Beats, vibe. It’s not weak. I recommend peeping it.

 

With all that money, and power, he can control the fate of some artists albums. With Game owing 50 another 2 albums after L.A.X., 50 decided to put the news out on the street, as well as let us know, that Game’s album will conflict with the G-Unit album coming out in June. I think it is a great business move on 50′s end, as he gets paid on both sides of this deal. There is no reason to have a full out east coast west coast war where one album will take from another album. I haven’t heard much from Game about this, so I am sure he has no complaints with the potential to sell more albums either.

This video is one of the dopest music videos that I have personally seen in a few months. The black and white touch, along with the see-through silhouette was a great idea. As far as Kanye dancing… I think he could use a bit of help in that category. Nevertheless, he might be able to get buy as his clothes were on smash.
