Last year, Ronnie Bookman, the head of Houston's Studio 7303 filed a $10 million lawsuit against Prince claiming that Rap-A-Lot CEO lured him into a gym to be attacked. According to KPRC Local 2, prosecutors dismissed the case against Prince on Wednesday because of inconsistencies in some of the witnesses' stories.
"The big problem in Houston is that for the last 20 years, Rap-A-Lot and James Prince have dominated the music scene," said Prince's attorney Kent Shaffer. "So, you have up and coming artists (and) companies that want to compete with Rap-A-Lot and sometimes they'll sort of go (resort to) outlandish means to do it."
And the beat rolls on. I really, really don't understand why the industry doesn't look at Rap-A-Lot as one of the biggest label period. Their track record is flawless. Screw sales for a second. I'm talking about the fact that they have put out classic albums for over 20 years now. Cash Money right behind them. Forget what you read Rap-A-Lot is the dynasty when it comes to this rap sh*t. Hands down I don't see anyone touching their legacy. I don't care what coast you from. Show me a label that has stayed this consistent with reality rap content.
Yesterday Bun B also shot the video for the new Southern anthem "Everything". I told you this would be the song of the summer and it is. The video is guaranteed to turn heads and give a visual to what's really going on down south right now. When I say we are about to get bigger and bigger I mean that sh*t. Snap, Dance, Lean, Silly , Swangin, Bangin , Party, Political, Street, from Goodie Mob to Soulja Boy we are everything to hip-hop. And its hard for some of you to swallow, but that's ok because that's what happens when you start feeling like you created something that really was a natural part of black culture, try to name it and control it. You fall behind in your own lies that you feed yourself through your media. And was that a jab, nah brah, Not at all. It's just the truth and nothing more. You can have the word hip-hop, we're Country Rap Tunes. We still rollin mane.
