In this week's Pulse Report the streets are buzzing about, Jim Jones putting the squeeze on Kanye West, G-Unit's reign coming to an end, The Game crying, Yung Berg blacking out on dark-skinned women and Barack Obama co-signing Lil' Wayne as the best rapper alive.
[Editor's Note: The views of this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH.com]
1. Tight Situation. Don't count Jim Jones as a fan of Kanye West's ultramodern fashion steez. In fact the Dipset capo thinks the Chi-town rapper's attire is too close for comfort. Allegedly, West became incensed when he learned that Jones would be closing out Hot 97's Summer Jam concert, instead of the logical choice, himself. When word of West's sour grapes reached Jones he took a dig at West's childish tantrums and child-size fitting clothing.
"Kanye is the one in the industry who throws tantrums and people become used to it and we don't take things he says too personal because he is like the 'Revenge of the Nerds' to me," he said. "He is the one who wears full button ups Danny Terial style! I don't like tight jeans! I only like tight jeans on females and that comment is not just for Ye! It seems like jeans are getting tighter and sneakers are getting bigger!"
SMH. Rappers are so Liberace. This seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black. True Kanye's style is suspect, but Jimmy shouldn't be the one to call him on it. We've definitely seen dude in his share of schmedium shirts and crotch huggers. Plus he ran with a dude that fancied a pink mink and drove a pink Range Rover. Come on now!
2. G-Eulogy. Following the flop heard around the world, 50 Cent and his G-Unit cohorts Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo have yet to make any public statements regarding the paltry 102,000 copies of T.O.S. (Terminate On Sight) they sold his week. Could ths be the beginning of the end? The death of the dynasty? Prior to the disappointment of T.O.S., 50 sat down with MTV to begin touting his next solo album, Before I Self-Destruct. Fif is already touting the LP as a blockbuster. Even going as far as to suggest that it could be the next album to sell a million in a week, as Lil' Wayne's Tha Carter III just did.
"Fourth quarter," he said of the release date. "I got some music. But I'mma make music until I reach a closing date. I'mma stay creative and continue to try and progress.
"I want to focus on the positive, and I feel I'm one of the more vocal people in hip-hop," he added. "Even when it's not about music, people pay attention to me, because I have something to offer. I'll continue to create quality music at a pace they haven't seen."
Now, I'm in no way suggesting that the career of Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is over, but what I'm about to say with full confidence is that G-Unit is dead. With Young Buck gone and 50 no longer being able to carry Banks and Yayo on his back, stick a fork in the Unit. Come on, Plies sold more records than G-Unit in a week. I feel like there is no better time than now to write the first few lines of the G-Unit eulogy.
Ladies and Gents,
Here lies a crew that made survival of the fittest an art form. A band of fighters. No odds were insurmountable. No battle unaccepted. No enemy off limits. It was even common for them to knock off their own. Malevolent, cold-hearted and battle tested, this crew bucked the trends and laughed at the game as they ascended to the top…
Feel free to finish that up for me, folks.
3. When Thugs Cry. On a week when he should have been rejoicing the demise of his archenemies G-Unit, The Game was seen crying over spilled milk. That's right, yet another G-Unit affiliated rapper was brought to tears. Though it's not unusual for The Game to show emotion, the Compton emcee opened up the waterfalls during an interview with Music Choice TV. When discussing the fact that he was unable to get any rappers to rap alongside him on his Sean Bell tribute song "911 Is A Joke," Game broke down.
Wow. This guy gets pretty emotional. Not that this is not a serious matter, I agree more rappers need to stand up in situations like this, but I don't think Game gets it. It's not Sean Bell, it's you. No one really likes you dude. You're a nut case.
Can y'all imagine the responses he got from certain rappers when he called to get them on the track.
Game: Hey I'm doing a Sean Bell song. Want in?
Jay-Z: Hey, I would but I got this thing...
Kanye: Aw man, I'm on the "Glow In The Dark" tour; hit me when I get back.
Busta: I'll catch you on the remix, son.
Dr Dre: [Operator] The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
Ice-T: Eat a d*ck, n*gga.
50 Cent: Call me back, I'm on the phone with Buck.
4. Color Me Bad. Yung Berg just committed a cardinal sin of rap: Don't alienate the butt that feeds you. More plainly the butts you need in the seats at your show and the ones you need shaking on the dance floor to your music. The diminutive emcee recently did an interview with the ladies over at Lip Service on Shade 45 where he openly admits to discriminating against women of the darker skin.
"I'm kinda racist… I don't really like dark butts too much… It's rare that I do dark butts," he admitted. "Like really rare… It's like, no darker than me. No darker than me. I love the pool test…. If you can be like ‘Yo, baby. I met you in the club. Let's go back to my house. Jump in the pool exactly like you are.' And you don't come looking better wet than you were before you got in the pool then that's not a good look."
LOL. I can't really say I'm riled up about this comment. Honestly, I'm oddly entertained by it. One, this is Yung Berg. He has to say things like this just to assure we pay attention to him. Two, if he were to say the opposite of this "I don't really like light skin women" would we be upset?
5. Mass Appeal. While Rev. Jesse Jackson may want to castrate Barack Obama, Lil' Wayne probably just wants to shake his hand. During a recent town-hall in Georgia the presidential hopeful lectured a predominately African American audience on the reasons why we shouldn't want our kids to aspire to be basketball players and rappers.
"You can't find a job, unless you are a really, really good basketball player — which most of you brothas are not," he said. "I know you think you are, but you're not. You are overrated in your own mind. You will not play in the NBA. You are probably not that good a rapper. Maybe you are the next Lil' Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school."
Wow! High praise from the future president of the United States of America for Lil' Wayne. You'd think he'd say Jay-Z, but no he said the other Mr. Carter. He basically said there's only one Weezy and you're not it. This has to be way more gratifying for Wanye than anything Diddy has said in his numerous "man crush" videos.
Well that's it for now. Ya'll know the drill, hit me up at archiefucque@gmail.com. Let's talk G-Unit, Yung Berg and whatever else you want to get of your chest.
Phuck DUNG BERG (yeah, he's full of it), will someone in the CHI please house this corny clown's chain again, no more needs to be said bout him other than enjoy your short-lived fame while it lasts!!
I agree with GAME wholeheartedly, I think he would have fit in better with the era of rap such as PE, BDP, NWA, KMD, 3RD BASS (LOL, just jokin), Boot Camp Click, etc.
LASTLY, BUH BYE, Magilla Gorilla Unit; good riddance and Yayo, stay away from the mics please, you can't handle em!
somebody needs to slap the shit outta yung berg. all that dude does is stay talkin just like his homo counterpart raygay. shut up and make music.
Fuck Berg. I mean who is he anyways. He don't have any hits. "Sexy Can I" is oh so wack and it's not even his song. I can't even remember Berg's first single. And the 2nd single that they have just started playing on the radio is hot only becuase of the chorus that some chick puts down. That's how irrelevant he is in the game. And for him to say some idiotic shit like that, knowing he needs as many fans as he gets. "Berg", you have officially ruined your own career. How can you be so stupid. Some things just need to be kept to yourself. We saw how quickly Lil Zhane and Mims career went down the drain, Bergs is on the same level, cause he reminds me of a thug wanna be like Zhane was. Plus, his fuckin baby moms is dark skinned and from what I hear, he use to date dark skinned chicks all the time in the Southside of Chicago before he so called blew up. Berg you are so wack. You can't even go back to the Chi. Fuck outta here. Hip-Hop dont want you...
Now as for G-Unit
Gay Unit been dead. I mean the only reason why I fucked with them in the first place was because of Buck. Now it's just the 3 of them fucking each other in the ass, and they got Banks acting as their butler carrying bags and shit when they go over seas. The last straw was when 5-0 taped him and Bucks conversation. You get merked in the hood for shit like that regardless of what was talked about. That is just a no-no. I thought 50 was from Southside Queens. Now that I think about it, 50 is probably the one who snithced on Supreme McGriff for "Supreme Team". Fuck G-Unit. They are finished. And fuck buying, we don't even bootleg or burn G-Unit or 50's music anymore. I'm not even wasting 25 cents to burn a cd with their garbarge anymore. 50 sold us out to the white folks and admitted to only making music for them. Might as well turn Republican if he hasn't already
Don't really care about any of the other topics, but what a biased view on Game's situation. Archie Fucque, you are officially a hoe ass nigga. Game was trying to do something for hip-hop but people were actin like cowards. You don't need to be making excuses for anyone regarding this. This is more than Game, it's a situation that affects us ALL.

Co-Sign.
Face it, Gay-Unit is over and don't even call 5-0 republican, he is fascist neocon and is destroying this genre, just like our darling little two party system is destroying this country, they have made hip-hop into a huge disgrace, destroyed our reputation around the corner and will go in the record books as one of the worst in history
This is crazy. I understand if someone ends your career before it starts. That is an unfortunate situation. Young Berg has committed career suicide before his career started. He took 50's advice overboard. This dude has insulted other rappers and his fan base before he was even looked at as relevent. He still not relevent. He only had 1 song of his own and a collabo that made it to radio. And the songs were luke warm. I hope you have a big appetite because you have a lot of words to eat.
fuck yung berg ugly ass fool don't nobody wan't his swoll lip ass.
Gay Unit that's funny, some of there music is alright but I thought a lot of they shit was wack,, and Buck was the fore runner next to 50 I don't see y dey cut him...but any who the Game is rite, These Rap Niccas is ho's. Wheather we admitted or Not Rapper are the Role models and semi leaders in the black community they are what we see when we turn on the TV and all we hear when we in streets... And rappers need to take stands when they can on injustice,,, Sean Bell that was a another smack in the face and for a West Coast Rapper to take the intiative to make a song about the injustice just shows me that YES New York Niccas ain't about nothing more then mouthing off (talking Tuff), street fame, cars, jewerly, looking good, club'n and drug pushing.. Dey like fields Niccas dat dis the House Niccas, but as soon as dey get invited into the house, the struggles and treatment endured in the field becomes irrelevent.... STAND DA FUCK UP.. 4 SUMTHIN BESIDES PUSSY & FAME...
sohh is a descent site. but u niggas dont know shit about hip hop aka real rap. who ever writing these columns is biased as fuck and is either a herb or a faggot. the reason G-unit didnt sell is because the game is twisted and its because of fags like u. u probably one of them niggas in the hood walkin around with a mohawk. any black kid with a mohawk is fag or a herb point blank. my point is the game is backwards and this site is contributing to it.LLoyd banks will lyrically destroy lil wayne or a gay ass kanye. the person thats writing these coulumns needs to show himself foreal. line for line lloyd banks will merk almost anybody. only dudes thats nice is jada, joe budden , ,jay-z , 50, eminem, ludacris, and wayne is ight. everyone else is wack or sub-par.-Ed- get at me,1

YUNG BERG WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR WHITE SHEET WITH OR WITHOUT HOLES IN IT?????BROTHER?????
So glad that people are finally beginning to see the light and respect Game for the musician that he is. It’s just too bad that it had to come to this before people finally realized.
It’s funny as hell tho…cryin actually HELPED Game’s career!! I might be mistaken but I think Game’s won more fans than ever since his display of emotion.
