NYC's D-Block, Jim Jones, and The Diplomats are shifting in their seats in KOCH's offices right about now. It appears that "America's #1 independent label" has recently joined forces with three additional deals, one of which includes Def Jam's leftovers Damon Dash Music Group.
After being kicked out of the 49th and 8th street corporate offices and washing his hands of the Rocawear clothing line, the streets were wondering -- and laughing -- about the mastermind responsible for the rise of the Roc-A-Fella Empire; now we know. Dash intends on releasing dancehall artist Sizzla this summer, despite the ghastly "Ultimate Hustler" anthem which sent BET viewers straight for the mute button.
With that said, no one's saying that D-Block, Jim, and the Dips have anything to worry about as far as DDMG, which accomplished absolutely nothing during its short lived days in Def's offices. But with ATL's Big Oomp now on KOCH's roster (as the second of the three deals who's aim is to crank out more southern artists), the execs are sure to redirect their interest towards the south (priority) and away from the east (inferiority). Not a good look, my dude.
In further D-Block news, somebody appeared to be both cocky and confident when speaking on other artists' positions in the rap game. Jadakiss' appearance on MTV's "The Shop" aired again Sunday night (rerun or not, who cares), and when asked how it was working with Biggie, he said it "was the greatest ever... his humor was crazy, he was the best bartender. If Big was around, these rappers would be somewhere else... 90% of these rappers would be... [like] 'can I take your order please?'"
Maybe he should've knocked on wood, 'cause the south has just invaded the offices of KOCH Records. Better cop that apron.
Is this not SOHH NYC? Let me find out this blog is written by someone in the South...there is entirely too much hate.
D Broke
This just in -
Jadakiss is set to start on the upcoming teenage mutant ninja turtles p.4 movie....he gonna do the soundtrack too...
Needless to say BIG was the best that ever did it for real brooklyn will always reign supreme through the notorious glorious one
Get off of NYC's genitals son. The south is making it happen right now for Hip Hop.
Why you madd doggie? I'm tired of hearing you complain. Leave that to Ghostface.
Let them do their thangs.
KOCH still love the east coast.
First
Jada will never be wearing an apron.... He is a brand and there will always be "w.a.s.p.'s" that will by his music. He can sell at least 20k units....so that's 140k if is game is correct (and after all that stink they made about Puff Daddy I hope they have they're game tight).
Jada ain't never lied!!!
FIRST!!! LOL
Whoever wrote this blog should cop an apron.... That episode of the shop is old as hell...Kiss is still signed to Interscope and is twice as good as the Best niggers they got in the south, so he aint gonna need an apron no time soon...YOu nigga need to quit ya day job...You SOHH niggas is so fucking wack...
D-BLOCK is signed to KOCH which is the only label that allows KISS to do anything. GET a day job and maybe you wont spend so much time in here.
Who in the south is fucking with Kiss? Nigga Is you fucking retarded????
fuck koch, g-unit 4 life, and fuck jadakiss, D- Cock , dip
Nice stuff
Yeah man 1st one up in the place ST.LUCIA (caribbean)stand up!! and keep doing your thing D Block
Black Sunday :
U dumb ass FUCK!!!!!!!...KIss is signed to interscope Ruff Ryder records...D-Block as a group is signed to KOCH U stupid mother fucker...Kiss never had a problem dropping an album...Kiss the Game Goodbye is GOLD...Kiss the Game Goodbye is certified Platnum....Kiss can drop whenever he feel like...you stupid bastard....
Who the fuck is Oomp's the niggas name sounds like a name of an STD. Lets be real for one second there is still money to be made on Koch not a hole lot but some. So I ready kind of doubt if we just stop hearin music from the dips. Lets not make this a East Vs South type of shit because its just fuckin stupid like SOHH tryin a have people fight on this site over dumb shit.
I don't know why more niggas ain't fuckin wit Koch. Thats an easy come-up getting 6-8 dollars a record!
Get a job.
Black Sunday:
Get sum pussy And stay off this fucking blog
Nice comeback, BLACK FRIDAY IN DISGUISE
Jada is right. If Biggie Or pac was around 90 perent of these rappers wouldnt be around. I personally think Jay-Z wouldnt have been as big as he is if BIG was around. Cause Biggie was more lyrically talented than any emcee ever. And Pac was more of a thug or Ganster than any of these niggas could even fathom. Niggas like Gay-unit, d4lame, Lil Scrappy aka Mutley, Grimmace aka Rick Ross, and and lot of other muhfuckas wouldnt in the game if Big Or Pac were still alive. Death to niggas that killed them! as far as koch goes, it really hurts me to see Dame Dash has fallen that far. Dame is one of the best busineess men in music and u tellin me atlantic, interscope, or sony couldnt give this man a deal? everyone give jay the credit for makin rocafella big, but what exactly has rocafella done since dame and kareem left? not shit. jay has his hands full with def jam and trying to get luda to stay around. rocafella sucks. the only good thing theve done over there is is keepin kanye, starting that latin division, and trying to sign lil wayne. i hope what ever does on koch does great, but as i said jay is not that good of a business man. jay is not the reason def jam is back, LA Reid is. He signed Nas, the Roots, Fabolous, 344 Mobb and he about to get David Banner. Jay gave us Rick Ross, Rhianna And Jeezy. The last quality signing jay did was signing Tru Life and that female emccee from the UK, Lady Soverign.
Nice comeback, BLACK FRIDAY IN DISGUISE

Damn u still in here? I thought you was "OUT" DAMN! Get a job.
darnell:
I really wish people would stop giving Jay-Z credit for Young Jeezy. L.A. Reid brought Jeezy under the Def Jam umbrella.
Jay-Z doesn't have to do jack shit. He's responsible for Kanye and Ne-Yo(if I'm not mistaken). That's two platinum artists in one calender year. Not many other label heads can make that claim. But true, Jay-Z has more flops than platinum or gold records.
yo Yo Yo ,Check it check,I think, I thi, think that Ima Ima a,a,addicted 2 tha way a12 guage sound my peep a put you in the ground/6 feet that is/ima handle my biz/make ya wiz/strait up homie/thats a freebie/thats what up.Check my mixtape comin soon.Lickity Spit.Tha realist comin out tha A.ATL FO DEATH

THE WEST CAME IN THE GAME....BUT WERE SMART ENOUGH TO RESPECT WHERE RAP CAME FROM....THEY WASNT DICK RIDING CUZ THE WEST WOULD GO TO WAR WITH THE EAST 2
THE SOUTH ACTS AS THOUGH NEW YORK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIP HOP AND THEY THE COOLEST NIGGAS IN THE WORLD....THATS Y I SAY FUCK THE SOUTH.

WHO CARES IF THE SOUTH IS UNITED...GUESS WHAT SOUTH UNITY IN RAP MUSIC IS AIMED AT ONE THING....GOING AGAINST ONE CITY IN NEW YORK....FUCK THAT NEW YORK OPEN YOUR EYES....DUMB SOUTH NIGGAS IS USING THE WORD "HATE" SO WE CANT GO AT THEM...IF YOU LOVE HIP HOP AND YOU GREW UP ON IT LIKE ANY NEW YORK NIGGA IN THE 80S...YOU AINT HATIN ON SOUTHERN BULLSHIT MUSIC....AND TRUST THAT YOUR EARS AINT LYIN 2 YOU.

I cosign by the way. ( any minute now the dipset stans/gunit stans and the haters will go back and fourth arguing over bullshit)
6-6who do U think u r.Sounds like u want some hate.Thats worse than a hater
Big Oomp sounds like a Jim Jones' imaginary friend(no-homo)
Here we go again. This is going to be nothing but a hate blog. It's just going to turn into that East vs South non-sense (which doesn't even exist). Then the G Unit worshipers are going to come in here and have a bunch of useless F*ck D Block, D Broke, D Cock. The lame ass ninja turtle joke (can we say corny and not funny). Just stupid immature crap. That's one reason why I don't mess with these blogs anymore. Nobody can have a sensable or mature opinion on nothing.
Hi Eskay, I am supportive of your work here and on nah right but as a lover of roots and culture reggae, I can't accept this comment on Sizzla. It's true that i am a bit skeptic on his move to the US but he is an icon in reggae and has been the most outstanding jamaican singer in the nineties (after Garnett Silk).
I love hip hop on the same level but I had to post this cos Sizzla Kalonji is not a newcomer and should be given more respect
Look homie I dont even know you.I got love for all of you,but the south is on the rise and wheather you like it or not D4L are the best right know.Crazy wordplay.Real recongnize REAL.ANd D4L is as REAlL as it gets
YO respect,Y are you in here then.B gone no1 RESPECTS YOU IN HERE!!
i LOVE REGGE.Its like a mix btween rap and r&b witha mexican twist.And the women lve it too!!
Ain't this a bitch!!! Sohh is trying to diss Sizzla. Do your research you idiots before you try to diss an Icon like Sizzla. Go in the fucking crates and pull out some Sizzla before you go around talkng shit ...... you just showing the educated your ignorance. Damn dude you should be shot for saying some dumb shit like that, better yet don't come to the Caribbean saying that fuckery.
That "Ultimate Hustler" song was the wickedest shit!!!!
On the Koch issue though, The Dips don't look like they gonna stay there most likely Jimmy will get Warner Bros. to sign the Set. Because Cam said something about the money wasn't right so he was gonna put them under his arm pit. Lol!!!
Dame is gonna kill em this year!! By the end of the year he should be back to his normal self again. I hope D Block do well also.

NYC, u bitch ass fuck boy! its because of a nigga like u that new york is the way it is now! im from the south, mississippi to be exact. and as a aspiring emcee i respect new york, i lovwe new york hip hop. most of favorite rappers are from ny. u sayin all that bullshit and i probalbly know more about the history of hip hop than u do. the problem with ny is is that yall think just because yall created hip hop, that the south, west and midwest should bow down to to yall! fuck that how can anybody support ny hip hop and yall cant even support each other! the gay-unit is beefin with everyone, hell even wu-tang is beefin with each other. like jay-z said beefin is dead. granted the we in the south might not the lyrical cats like yall but, fun is what its all about! in the 80's niggas used to have fun, set trends, start dance crazes, all the shit hip hop is doin now! youre just mad cause all the best trends, all the best slang, all the best club music isnt from ny. hip hop is bigger than new york! hip hop is bigger than the south, hip hop bigger than all of us! hip hopis a way of life not just music. there will never be a east vs south rap war for 5 reasons
1. Too many south and east emcees have respect for each other, example Juelz Santanna And Young Jeezy have a mixtape series together.
2. east cosat labels are signing southern emcees and staring souther divisions in thier labels, example bad boy south, def jam south, g-unit south.
3. the biggest labels are run southern nigggas. example virgin is run by jemaine dupri, and def jam is run by LA Reid.
4. Too Much money is too be lost.
5. Do you really wanna another rap war. like busta said this music is not worth dying over. have fun and shut the fuck up!
Besides ny had started a battle with the west and they kicked yall ass! All yaLL do is whine and complain. niggas aint feelin yall, cause yall and feelin yall. we might not be the best lyrical cats, but unity is why the west won the last battle. Im not gonna say fuck new york. I love new york, one of my best friends is from the bronx. and when did ny ever fall off! U got The Dipset, Jay-Z, Busta, Papoose, Jae Millz, Lloyd Banks, Maino, D-Block, Nas, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Fabolous, Dead Prez, Fat Joe, Remy Ma. U talk about old school hip, listen to this line from one of my favotite songs
"Self Destruction, U headed 4 Self Destrution" thats where ny hip hop is headed. u wanna bring back ny hip hop here is my solution, tell camron, that jay is too much for him and GET RID OF 50 CENT AND THE GAY-UNIT. THAT INCLUDES YOUNG FUCK TOO!
Damm. A joint with Big and Jada. The good ole days son.
YO D:DONT GET SO UPSET YOU SENSITIVE ASS NICCA.RESPECT NY IT BROUGHT YOU RAP FOOL.CAN YOU READ ALL THAT CAUSE YOU DAMN SURE CANT WRITE!LOL
Heads need to recognize that NY cannot always be number one in Hip Hop. We created it- and all in all the world looks to NY for Hip Hop in geneal. NY east is the innovator of the Hip Hop's appeal and excitement. It is okay that other states and zones elivate the artform.
In order for Hip Hop to exist it has to morph into different styles and be able to take on other cutlural flavors. That is Why Hip Hop is world wide let alone North South.
Don't let these dam cracke** UMMM excuse me people start a bullshi** Hip Hop war.
Bottom line artist in the south stick together for the most part. Southern Artist are supported by their fans. Northeners do not buy records, we buy mixtapes. There are smalled venues in the south not in the north. The fans get to see their artist up close in the south- not in the north.
plus as I said before happy poppoy south rap is okay it just give ny Hip hop aniother way to get that paper if you are able to be innovative and flexible. Not everybody can relate to Ny, people do like to dance and see some ladys shake their asses.
The artist in the south are all unique like most Ny hip hop artists were in 86-92. Now everybody want to be carbon copy thug, pimp. That thug sh*** is tired and only a few can pull it off. In the south artist are more unique than heads in NY.
ONE!
I really wish people would stop saying that if big or pac were alive that certain people would not eat...listen the game changes everyday and as much as I like big and pac..people's taste change and just like how every record empire fell off from that time period...people would have found some one new to like...
the same way people feel 50 beefs to much now but they all liked him for that to begin with..maybe they would have felt like pac was too thigged out..or talked too much shit..or maybe he would be in so much movies that his music would have fell off..or maybe B.I.G. would have been so liked that his record gets played so much that people would have thought he is now commercial and stopped feeling him..saying eh can't represent the streets no more...
no one knows...
yes at the time when the two were dominant alot of people would not be as big...but that was over 10-15 years ago...shit changes..
