First and foremost, in response to the commenters who failed to look past the sarcasm and cynical "tone" I used when suggesting the NY Daily News writer had help with his article, I find it funny that many of these so-called New Yorkers don't know that the Daily News never has their facts straight when it comes to hip-hop, or anyone or thing related to this genre of music. If they would have read the entire article with the link provided--not just the quotes I posted-- then they would be surprised--knowing what there is to know about the Daily News-- that this person had every event down in chronological order whether it was "exclusive" or not...something you cannot accomplish with a quick search of a Google button. But many of these bird b*tches wouldn't really know that, yet they swear they already knew about half of the events that were mentioned in the article.
Really. Stop it.
But yeah...
Jadakiss did an interview with 102 Jams in Greensboro, NC with Big Mo. In the process, he called 50 a corn, and revealed that he would be siging on with Jay-Z:
Big Mo: Are yall and G-Unit, 50 Cent still beefin or that's dead now that's over?
Jadakiss: We was never beefin. He just needed something... he just needed somebody to talk about for his new album. And who else better than the god MC?
Big Mo: Yeah he's good for that. Now he's talking about Lil Wayne and Kanye...
Jadakiss: ...yeah it's getting corny. If you just follow what he's doing whenever he drops an album, it's getting corny. He just make hot music and that's it...
...Lox album coming out October. Or either Kiss album coming October then followed by the Lox album... So we got a new deal we about to do. With Jay-Z. You gonna hear about it next week though... Nah but we about to do a deal with the big homie. It's real life you hearing it from the horse's mouth.[END]
Wow. That's what it is. But isn't Hov rumored to be leaving Def for Columbia?
Whatever the situation, L Boogie ripped the interview straight from the horses mouth.

No disrespect, 'cause Rakim is "the lyrical one" and all that, but "King Heron"? I guess. Peep:
Considered by many to be one of the greatest hip-hop artists to ever pick up a microphone, Rakim has announced plans to perform next month under as his new alter-ego King Heron, on August 5th."In the spirit of MF Doom and Kool Keith, Rakim is now performing under the new name King Heron," LiveNDirect owner Peter Oasis confirmed to SOHH.
"Rakim will be performing under his new moniker at an Aug. 5th Highline Ballroom show headlined by DJ Z-Trip which will also feature appearances by Gift of Gab, Aceyalone and DJ Phoreyz."
I mean, he's a legend. He can do whatever he wants. But what does this prove? Not to call it a publicity stunt, but this seems like a good way to get people to keep him in conversation. Really though, I can't call it.
_______________________________________________________________________________
T.I is about the only dude from the South that I can stand. I even f*cks with "Big Sh*t Poppin." But um, this sh*t right here? Come on, man. Let's not put our foot in our mouths so much.
MTV ranked Jim Jones number ten (wow) in their list of the hottest rappers in the game, and T.I cosigned, saying:
"Jim got his swag together this year. He really popped himself off. He's [a hustler] like Jeezy â€" when people first started hearing about Jeezy, it wasn't for rapping. I think Jim gets the same ... that goes with street cred. Street cred and swagger. That's why I feel he should be high up on the list."
Maybe Jimmy has some street cred in the South, because he borrowed half of his wardrobe from Weezy and what not, but in the East Coast, the only credibility he has is... very little. The only respect the Dips get in NYC is Uptown. Other than that... negro please do your research before you start speaking on behalf of the entire New York City.
And for the record, Jeezy is a clown. GTFOH. Okay... maybe I should take that back for the eye-sensitive.
might be a good look for L.o.x teaming with hov. jus like dude said he (rakim) a legend he can do whatever he wants. Jimmy street cred i dont know a lil sus i ve never heard of him putting work in b4 rap and he from my hood so who knows

Did Jada call himself the "God MC"? You're good, but not that good.
Anyway, I'll be copping that King Heron album when it drops. Just like I cop that Doom/Geedorah/Madvillain/Viktor Vaughn.
Jim Jones @ #10? LOL!
If no one caught the sarcasm, its not our fault, blame it on your writing.
Nothing about that section of the post sounded remotely sarcastic.

Fuck you Reckless and your corny subliminal disses. If you gonna diss the girl that made me rotten then do it right!!!!
MIMS has more street cred than Jim Jones. I've never seen Jimmy no where outside of Harlem & downtown!!!
You people are funny as hell. Rappers are entertainers, why do you need street cred. Does Al Pacino need street cred to do Scarface you idiots. Judge rappers on there skills. Its just music.SMFH!
The Lox are officially the New Edition of the rap game when it comes to getting jerked! lol Anyone who's seen the New Edition episode of Behind the Music can feel me. lol

We didn't say anything about street cred, T.I said he had street cred! I do co-sign everything you said. If I was to judge Jim Jones on his rapping skills, I would still be talking shit about him. The Chicken Noodle Soup broad has more rap skill than Jim Jones!! Real talk!

Lol@ you dumb niggas. When you talk about 50 being better than Jadakiss, you say he has more money. BIG F**KING DEAL. Kiss will always be better than him lyrically. And since this is what hip hop is really about, Kiss is better than 50.
_______________________
Now that I've educated these young cats, back to what I wanted to say. Um, Rakim is clean laundry. I mean he can rap better than 95% of the rappers out now but he isn't relevant. He can change his name to El Hajj Malik Shabazz and it won't increase his album sales.
______________________
Oh and Jim Jones is a joke. Only dudes who don't care about quality rap like him. For instance, the ppl who like Jim Jones probably never listened to a Fuggees album.
PEACE
first dumb ass weezy bit Jim Jones swag.And Jim may not be a great mc, But he's doing his thing while holding down an executive position.DO YOUR RESEARCH.
I am going to go off the subject and talk bout something old. Pimp C interview has some value. After listen to it, the only thing I could disagree is his comment bout the A not being the south. Well it's the Southeast like TX is the Southwest. But, his comment bout how their are alot of "thug" rapper faking does make sense. Giving wrong info such as 17.5 does prove that some of these cats are misinforming the public. I am proud to hear that he takes the weight and it's his opinion. I would like to say that I hope that his opinion don't offend anyone but that it changes the rap game before something negative hapens. The south need to change it image and start putting message behing thier music. The south is lackin in this dept. Please don't get offend but get inspire to create some good music.
YEAH T.I. THE SKINNY ETHIOPIAN NEEDS TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE F@CK UP GO GET THAT COMMON "FINDING FOREVER" ON JULY 31 SUPPORT REAL MUSIC AND NOT THIS BULLSH!T

@ Rockaway Ave and Real Talk from yesterday: maybe i didn't make myself clear - I used to live in Brooklyn and i have nuff fam there but I haven't been back for a minute .. I wasn't asking for touristy spots to go see while I was in NY, I was asking for specific HIPHOP jams that are going down (you know .. this being a NY HIPHOP board any everything). And yes, yes we all know cause you live in NY that you're the hardest people on the face of the earth but rather than telling me to stay out of the city, how about you post something specifically answering my questions about hip hop jams .. otherwise keep your condescending hostility to yourself.
So again, what's the scoop on HIP HOP jams in NYC this weekend.
Yeah Jim was the first nigga to start that rock star look and now everybody is on it proving that he is a trendsetter and should get the props he deserves. Rapping ehhh but his swag is there. D-block is still the hardest out they just bad business men, with that said "Yo they got a car wash yo, they broke....GET OF THEY NUTTS....1!
JOHNNY APPLESEED@ it seems to me like pimp is a hypocrite and what he says contradicts itself. he talkin bout people need to stop talking about dope and not giving real dope prices, but he got a video saying bobby by the pound whitney by the key,then his name is pimp c, u talking about depth and shit, how is slanging pussy bein deep and uplifting the people. if u gona tell people how 2 live at least be able to stand behind it correctly by not doing or talking about doin what u tell them not to do.
yo.i see a lot of trannys posting about how jim jones dresses.if you fuck that dude holla at him dont write here!!!!!!!
50 keep getting your had earned money and leave the so called "lyricists" broke and frustrated...haha! I mean what the use of bragging of your talent and getting broke? Living a fucked up life? Claiming street cred which doesn't provide sh!t to your life? get real muppets...
jimmy did the rockstar shit EARLY! check his second album cover.. and WHOEVER wrote this article. YOU STUPID. dips only get love uptown? i seen this nigga on fulton st gettin mobbed by fans. hes a hood star.
Nigga you seen that Jenny on Fulton Street in Manhattan not in Brooklyn.
jada is right that ish is gettin corny, but anyway im lookin forward to seein a new lox album

proper education activates controlled emotions..
so whats the big deal about them signing with jay other than their cd will now have a def jam logo instead of interscope? by the way im a big fan of the LOX, though jadakiss lost a few points in my book when he collaborated with paris hilton. "respect first then money, basic shit" - jadakiss, rite where u stand
@Liswizzie "You ain't never lying about that". LOX should have their own lane by now. Yeah Hov is just lining them up to get jerked some how-.(just the nature of the biz) THESE CATS MUST NOT KNOW HOW TO READ CONTRACTS, LOX/MANAGERS LAWYERS NEED TO BE SMACKED! good luck! LOX

does jim jones have any money?he got robbed like 98 times plus beaten up 349 times..one loser like tru life fucked dipset the way he wanted......why JJ dont adress that shit..teens are kickin his ass..oh yeah-1 single dont make u a rapper..he callin himself a rapper??
Hey what it do SOHH!
Aight first The Lox bout time they finally got with HOV, hopefully this will be the start of something big.
Next up The 18th Letter, let the R do whatever he likes, dayum near every rapper has two to three names they wanna go by, So if he wants to be called "King Heron" let him, cause he did spit that dope .
Lastly Jimmy, now I'm not a fan of his lyrics, but you have to give it to him for getting by this long and starting a movement for the uneducated. He has swagger, thats all you need to get by in HIP HOP right now, plus he had the heart to go up against Hov. So in this new world of rap artist from NYC I'll give him credit on just those facts. Plus the article is talking about rappers these days, and he's all over so I'll give him his 10% credit.

The entire set of bloggers here need to get a life or a job. How do any of u know what can of guap the Lox have? All you do is read it somewhere and believe all that shit that's being said by some hating ass journalist. What's funny to me is, you all get on Reckless for her "editorial" skills but never stop posting up your opinions on her shit. I used to post here all the time, but my job took me away thanks to a nice raise and promotion but I read occassionally. And, it's the same shit. "This rapper's broke, Reckless sucks, ain't nobody fucking with them except them motherfuckers on their block". All of you act like industry insiders but at the end of the day, you're nothing but fucking bloggers.
And, oh I know what's next. "Nigga you don't know me. I got more money than you. I'm a high powered mother in (insert profession), I just do this for fun". Save it! If the Lox are so broke, then why are they still rapping instead of getting real jobs. If the South was so much better than NY, then why did Jay go plat in like 3 weeks. Why is Nas @ 800,000? This is no dis to the South because I fucks with T.I., UGK and a lot of them cats down there. This is a dis to all you internet know-it-alls that "don't" get paid to know so much about the industry. Get a fucking life, fags!
