The fact we had men on this board try to twist Jay Z adamant public defense of himself a NEGATIVE is sad as f**k.

After decades of criticism of these celebrities for not publicly defending themselves.

Jay does so loudly aggressively and consistently.

They even tried to twist Jay request for criminal charges to be filed against him as an admission of guilt???

Which is the dumbest whitest sh*t I have ever heard.

(Not knowing there is no statute of limitations on forcibly raping a minor in NY)

Especially when the very same dudes supported Puff AFTER he was caught lying, the hotel tape leaked, Cudi confirmed the car bomb and the baby oil etc etc

Pathetic.

rappers for the last 30 years have been so reliant on profanities to the point where I dont think its possible for rappers today to make a song thats NOT laced with profanity and nigga.

Cardi B Says It's 'So Annoying' to Record Clean Versions of Her Songs: 'Sounds Like Kidz Bop'

"I was so over it," said the rapper of making a swear-free version of recent Megan Thee Stallion collaboration "Bongos"

Word to the wise — don't censor Cardi B.

In a new appearance on the YouTube series Hot Ones, the Grammy-winning rapper got real about how "annoying" it can be to record clean versions of her songs that are appropriate to be played on pop radio.

"So annoying," said Cardi, 30, before recalling the recording process for the clean version of her recent single "Bongos" with Megan Thee Stallion. "I just did it practically two weeks ago, and I was so over it because it’s like — you know, my new song, I be like, ’N---- eat this ass like a plum’.”

Of course, those lyrics were not deemed acceptable. "I’m doing the clean version, and it’s like, ‘Baby, eat it up like a plum,’ and it’s like, ‘No, you still can’t play that for pop radio’ or whatever," she continued.

Eventually, Cardi figured out how to make the lyrics more suitable for all ages — but she wasn't happy about it. "I’m like, ‘Baby, eat these peaches and plums,’ and I was so over it," she said.

"That sounds so corny, like that sounds like Kidz Bop," added the "Bodak Yellow" performer, "but I have no choice, so, 'Baby, eat these peaches and plums.'"

Cardi doesn't seem to hold any shame over her often-vulger lyrics. Upon the release of her and Megan's first collaboration, 2020's "WAP," she spoke to Australian radio show The Kyle and Jackie O Show about claims the song was overly explicit within the context of the hip-hop and rap genre.

"The people that the song bothers are usually conservatives or really religious people, but my thing is I grew up listening to this type of music," explained Cardi at the time. "Other people might think it's strange and vulgar, but to me it's almost like really normal, you know what I'm saying?"

Cardi, who shares 5-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari with her rapper husband Offset, said she wouldn't let her then-toddler jam out to "WAP," but added that that should go without saying since her music is for grownups.

I wonder seriously ask if 50 and Ja ACTUALLY made peace?

Would the hip hop community CELEBRATE it?

Would the community be happy?

and since we both know the real answer

so what does that say about this community? Cause it says WAY more the audience as opposed to the actual people involved

He sounded high or drunk.

He embarrassed himself

And sadly?

This isn't the first time.
Yeah, he needs an intervention or something. Something ain't right. I can tell people love him, 'cause they really haven't been attacking him for his 'drunk uncle at the barbecue' comments. It's tough being a journalist in this new era where his power is diminished, I'm glad Toure didn't go out like this, though. Toure rolled with the punches.

^^^^

I love respect real hip hop journalism it was my dream to write for the source or vibe. I completely understand the frustration that the floodgates have been open and so much cesspool is welcom

It was very difficult to build that up that industry and make it respectable

So I get it and we NEED to have a serious conversation about THAT part.

But this isn't how to do it.

And Cam and Mase are not at fault.

Agreed. He is a cornball which is fine. But he seems to think he isn't a cornball.

I'm guilty, I haven't watched him enough to see him talk about Drake, but if he has someone on his podcast I like, I watch it some times. He had a good episode with Trevor Noah and a recent one on comedian Josh Johnson.

He is a great interviewer.

We need more skilled like him

He is also great with Bomani
