It's good to see Dame and Irv putting their old differences aside. Just think it was only 3 years ago that Irv and Dame was fighting over who was the 'hottest nigga in the building'. I came across some interesting passages while reading Queens Reigns Supreme...
"In a July 30, 2002 profile for Rolling Stone, Irv and Jay-Z's partner Damon Dash tussled over who the reporter could dub the "hottest nigga in the building." After arguing at Def Jam's 8th Avenue offices, Irv and Dash bicker again over the phone..."
Another interesting passage about Dame and Jay-Z was from Curtis Scoon:
"Irv promoted the Roc-A-Fella guys as street guys and I dealt with them as such," Scoon says meaning that handshakes, not contracts, would suffice if they were to enter into a business relationship. "But I immediatetly knew that Jay and Dame were not street. They were the kind of guys who could fuck each other over and then meet at a party and hug for the cameras."
Could this whole Jay-Z and Dame Dash breakup be a set-up?

i have no idea where you are going with this.
what was the question again?
Let's not forget that dame is from harlem with an Ivy league education, Jay-z is just a dude who picked up on things fast. Irv was just born to run things. These three ppl are natural born businessmen.
To:flash if you have nothing relevant to say then shut up!!!
In regard to the set up... I dont think it is. Anyone who's personally been in the presence of dame dash in the last year or so knows that this mans ego has gotten too big for his britches. Also Jay-z has tasted way too much success without dame at this point to go back. They may be friends again at some point but for now it's business as usual.
Hi,
My name is Frank Epson, I'm a 43 year old caucasion male.. and I found this site through my son Jason who's totally in love with rap music and (as he explained) the culture of Hip-Hop. We're americans but live in The Netherlands for now, because of my work.
To be totally honest: I'm a David Bowie, Rolling Stones guy myself.
To connect more with my son.. I've decided to become one with Hip-Hop by frequenting this site and also by communicating with members of this 'secret' culture.
This is my 1st visit to this site and I have actually been amusing myself with rap and all the soap-opera like antics.
I don't know a lot about rap I know there's this guy Ice-T who made some police-unfriendly record years ago (yes I'm a newbie!)
So I'll be asking questions and questions:
1. I need a nickname. Help me out guys. I like the Patriots and I love my dog Sparky. So help me out!!!
2. I don't know all these artists.. but it seems that this 50 Cent guy is big. I googgled him and he has quite an impressive resumé. Can someone tell me - cuz it is absolutely unclear to me because everybody is slamming the guy - is he the #1 rapper?
Alright - looking forward to interacting with 'melanin-challenged' rap fans as wel as the 'hard core' of rap the African-American members and the Latino's.
This'll be fun.
Frank Epson
(^^^^Man what the fuck ??? ^^^^)Anyway, this blog is kinda pointless, and has no real story. Just stick to hating on 50 !!! Oh yeah, www.allhiphop.com is way better than this shit !!!
Mr. Irreverent it looks like you cant come up with a decent blog without mentioning 50's name
YO FRANK, YOU CAN BE FRANK WHITE OR FRANK LOPEZ. YOU CHOOSE. FIRST TEST IN HIP HOP CULTURE 101. 50 CENT IS BIG RIGHT NOW BUT HE WON'T LAST. JAY-Z AKA JAY HOVA AKA JIGGA AKA SHAWN CARTER IS A LIVING LEGEND AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE HOTTEST RAP ARTIST. ONE MORE THE THING YOU CANT SAY GOOGLED ON A HIP HOP SITE!!!!! PAST THE FIRST TEST AND WE WILL GIVE YOU MORE INFO. HOLLA
I took Jay from his project steps to a 100 milli, and this the thanks I get....
Irv, Dame, and whoever need to stop attacking each other.. Because some people in the outside world still view us all as monkeys who hope to evolve into chimpanzees who hope to evolve into humans
Lol. Yo, Frank. The more you try to connect with your son no the subject of hip hop, the more he'll hate you. Just be a father and stop trying to be his bestfriend.
Yo Frank Epson. Here's a nickname, 'Salty Cracka'
Ever heard of Epson salt?
Plus you're white. In Hip Hop, we call white boys 'crackas'.
'Salty Cracka' is a perfect nickname.
Some crackas don't like being called cracka but thats because they are real.
You seem like a real dude. You will feel honored to be called 'Salty Cracka' by fellow Hip Hop niggas because its brings you on a level ground with Hip Hop niggas.
Back in the day, black people in america were called 'niggers' Thats known as a bad term. We turned the word around and made it as a positive term by saying 'niggas'
Well the white people here don't like to be called 'crackers'. Well we turned it around and it made it a positive term by saying 'crackas'
Yo Frank 'Salty Cracka' Epson!
Congratulations on your entertaining discovery of Hip Hop nigga!
Yo Salty Cracka! You're gonna want a two syllable nickname like Jigga or Fiddy. So for now on, just call yourself 'Salty'. That shit is gangsta son.
Yo Salty! The answer to your second question is Yes.
50 Cent is the King of New York and #1 rapper.
Jigga is okay but he got beaten by Nas who just happens to be the best 'lyricist'
Eminem is the best cracka rappin right now.
What you need to do is buy a Biggie's first two albums, 'Born To Die' and 'Life After Death' Most New York niccas believe he's the best. It's also a safe choice for you.
You can buy a Tupac album too but be warned that Tupac doesn't like crackas and you'll hear it in some of his songs. Just look over that cause you're officially a 'nigga' now.
You can join SOHH but just realize that most of the niccas on SOHH aren't actually niccas. They are white boys and Canadians pretending to be black. They give themselves away when they talk about Jews, callin all black women ugly, and worshippin Eminem.
Here are the number one three things you need to know about Hip Hop.
1. Niggas are born to it. Crackas have to learn it.
2. Hip Hop started in the South Bronx. We had the shit poppin before anyone else. Now its all over the world.
3. Nas won the battle, Jigga won the war. (Nas won anothe battle on default because he fucked Beyonce before she met Jigga while they were filming Nas video 'You Owe Me')
Shawn Carter a.k.a Jay-Z is the realest rapper and hustler. Nas is washed up but Jigga is gotta give him life again. 50 will be gone in like 2 more years and who's Dame or Irv?
DJ Fukalya & Salty BIG's first album was Ready to Die, not Born to Die.
hello guys, this is mrs., i mean mr. irreverent. also, go check out my new movie "Get Bitch and Die Crying." i am changing my name to mr. irrelevent and giving you a taste of the lyrics to my new song from the movie.
it's not "hustler's ambition," it's called "cumster's emission":
(singing) like the K-Y needs the jelly//i love jerkin off on my belly...my belly
i need u//i need your image in my mind// so i could jerk my nine (9 centimeter dick)
feel this
irrevent got a thang for semen//man he loves it//balls he jerks and snugs it//i pull down my pelle pelle//and bust on my belly//when my mom's in the house i dont got much time to spend//but like tony in scarface i say hello to my liddle frend...
It's a cumster's emission//close your eyes listen//in the bathroom jerkin and twitchin//till my jimmy start spittin...
let me know if you are feeling my rhyme..
yo salty Cracka- u and ya wanna-be- black son need 2 stick 2 Elvis and Johnny Cash 'cause the way-2-complicated world of hip-hop is waayy 2 much 4 ya'll foolz. So u don't wanna try 2 understand and get caught up in it. trust me. Yo wat up DJ Fukalya? U tha truth son!!
Thanks kilobravo.
Nicca forgot.
Thanks Dominique.
When the crackas want to know bout Hip Hop, I'll gladly inform them so that they don't fuck it up too bad. It's a niggas reponsibility to make sure Tarzan don't deforest the jungle. Namean?
LOL Mrs.irreverent I mean Mr.irreverent
I knew you was a bitch
It's official President Bush will declare the South legally retarded in the upcoming presidential address.
20-30 years from now you will still be arguing over the same bullshit and they will be filthy rich...Will that be by coincidence or design? Let that marinate.
Holla Black!
SALTY FRANKIE BABY!! Thas some funny shit!! Hey hey pull up ya chonies ahh?

Look at the basics of HIP HOP. Please note that there is a difference between HIP HOP and Gangster RAP, which is what 50 cents does. Let it also be known that Cali is the ORIGION of GANGSTA RAP. Most niggaz that attempt gangsta rap dont want no parts of what the shit really is because Gangsta Rap is real life experience. If your son is into Gangsta Rap I would suggest you seriously talk to him with love and understanding. You know, like the Brady Bunch… He's entering into a realm where most non-blacks are not accepted. So he needs to be careful and understand what lines not to cross. I speak from my experience unlike most people on this panel Im 36 and Ive been husltin on the streets of Cali for years. I got names in other states that most dont know. Why am I saying all this? Well like Snoop said, “don’t cripwalk if you aint no crip!” Real niggaz write real music OR they affiliated with real niggaz who got real stories to tell. UNDERSTAND THAT!!! This music shit is DEEP!! Its about Black people, Black Culture… Period………
TO FRANK...I don't even think you son fully grasps the culture of hip hop--not to be racist. I just don't believe white suburbian kids have the understanding of what HIP HOP REALLY and TRULY is. 50 cent if very popular with white suburbia..Honestly I have never figured out why Suburbia is so infatuated with the THUG LIFE...You really need to find some other way to connect with your son.
YOU KNOW YOUR A REAL FUCKING IDIOT FOR POSTING THIS BLOG YOU STUPID RUMOR SPREADER . GETA LIFESHIT HEAD.
um...
What nigga do YOU know that uses the word "shit head"?
Too many white guys on this shit
YALL CANT BE LIKE SALTY FRANK...HES BEEN ACCEPTED CUZ HE CAME OUT AND WAS REAL! YALL DRY SNITCHIN ASSES ARE FRONTIN! GET OFF SALTY FRANKS' DICK!!!
punk bastards!!!
thelifedvdmagazine.com
Yo, somebody teach Salty Frankie how to Crip walk!!! And don't forget how to stash the razor under the tounge, or the burner in the Tim's!!! We gotta thug dude out!!!
What about F-Dot, or E-P-Son as a nickname for dude!! He gotta get "acclimated" to da hood!!! Pop them thanks Frankie!!!!!
Salty C,
1st, we must give you dap for try'n to relate w/ what your son listens to. Now, you have damn near over 25 yrs. of Hip-Hop to cover in order to understand and maybe even educate your son on what really real.
You'll be able to relate to some of the music samples used by the DJs and producers of today, as some familiar tunes of your(our) day.
P.S. I've been listening to Hip Hop,
since the early 80's and still do.
JIGGA MY NIGGA RUNS THIS RAP SHIT,DONT GET IT TWISTED..............WHO DOES ESCO WORK 4?HE COULD NEVER SEE HOV......
Hey Salty Frankie
You could also be "Head Cracka", get it? Head, the one in charge and you "crack heads". Furthermore, you white! "Cracka"!
Frank...recommend you readup on the history of hip hop. Take it further than what your son knows bout it. Anything that's been goin on...pretty much since '97 is just the commercialization of the music. Learn about the roots. This will lead you into Def Jam, Run DMC..the whole movement, when the undaground movement came up above ground and the first hip hop record lable was established. While studying up on the east coast, look up Public Enemy. This will break down the whole Black Power movement..conscious rap scene. Then take it to the west coast with some study on NWA...the beginning of Gangsta Rap, which will also lead you into learning more about Ice-T. That will lead you into how once money took it over, NWA split up and Death Row came about. By doin that..you'll lead into Snoop, Tupac. The war with Bad Boy, etc. Rocafella records. Death of Tupac, Biggie. Take it down south..start off reading bout 2Live Crew..and that whole time.
Start the homework, and along the way read the bylines. Find a reference to something you never heard of...look it up. I seriously doubt your son is into taggin' (graffit), or breakin (breakdancing) considering those areas of the "hip hop culture" or not victim to the commercialization. I sense it is more of an understanding as to the way he dresses, talks..music he listens to, styles of cars, etc. You'll gain a lot from reading up on the sources I've provided you.
As far as 50 Cent...he's a pimp. And I said that meaning, he is pimpin' white culture using the lures of the accessible "tough guy". I'd feel safe saying 75% of the money 50 Cent has earned doing what he is doing has been made off the ignorance of white people, and the commercialization of the music.
Also recommend you look into the "Holy Hip Hop" scene. I guarantee you if you turn your son onto that...he won't leave it. Alot of people will try and discount it, but I guarantee you noone could say the songs is wack. Check it out at;
