12 Questions – The May Mayhem Edition

Written by Rizoh. Posted in Chin Check

Published on May 01, 2007 with 54 Comments">54 Comments

1. Now that the last 5 issues of XXL have been covered by T.I., Lil Wayne, Young Buck, and Young Jeezy, is it safe to reiterate that hip-hop has permanently relocated to the south?

2. Whatever happened to that Firm reunion?

3. Who’s likely to get the hip-hop vote in the 08 presidential elections? Kim Kardashian or Coach Stringer?

4. Is Little Wayne the most overrated rapper ever? Or does that title still belong to Biggie?

5. If T-Pain were an animal, what would it be?

6. So, who won that so-called battle between Timbaland and Scott Storch?

7. With Diddy listed as the only NY “rapper” on the bill for Summer Jam ’07 (we all know Mims is from Miami), what does that say about Hot 97?

8. What comes to mind when you hear the name “Lil’ Mama”?

9. Is Mya a nappy headed ho for doing this video?

10. Now that Don Imus has forced all sorts of hip-hop town hall meetings, is it safe to call him the most influential hip-hop head of 2007?

11. Who else got mad at those ‘Ban 50′ protesters for destroying perfectly good Reeboks?

12. What was the last CD you bought?

    1) IF xxl was the sole definition of what hip-hop is, then yes… but since it isn’t NO you can’t say that.
    3) No disrespect (I think), but Coach Stringer’s kinda scary, and I don’t know about ‘the vote’, but Kim K could just… well… ‘get it’…
    4) How do you say BIG was overrated when his blueprint for an album is STILL (10 years later) being used by 99% of all rappers out today? When Wayne gets on that level make that comparison. Until then, don’t lose sight of the past so easily…
    6) Who gives a fcuk.
    7) It’s The Source… radio edition. 8) Lil’ anything means I’ma have a hard time taking you seriously.
    9) Oh HELLS NAW… not with an azz like that!… movin’ it like that! OK, maybe… but definitely worth making an exception for…
    10) Remember when hip-hop was ‘rebel music’? I guess he is, judging by all the shuffling and backpeddling since.
    12) That’s a DAMN GOOD QUESTION…

    1) LOL..mainstream hip hop yes of course! But you know NY’ers don’t wanna let it..lol, haha..they mad, they mad..

    2) I think its scheduling and timing, plus Foxy’s in and out of jail and law issues won’t help much.

    3) Kim?

    4) Biggie overrated? I thought Pac was…but then again you could be a Pac > Big type guy…Lil Wayne is the most overrated right now however.

    5) LOL

    6) Starch lyrically..but they both need to focus on production duties. Can’t rap both of ‘em.

    7) Wow MIMS is from MIA? hahahaha. Hot 97 has been a joke since Jay and Nas went at each other.
    8) G-eee-heettoo

    9) I don’t know, what do you think?

    10) In the words of Enigmatik, “patron saint of hip hop”

    11) I didn’t know that happened..lol anyway.

    12) Dilla’s last lp.

    1. Every region gets it’s shine, it’s the South’s turn now. The game rotates and a year or two from now it’ll probably be some other region on top.
    2. Nasir’s making too much money to deal with AZ, Mega and Hellen Keller.
    3. Kim’s got my dick so you know she’s got my vote.
    4. Nah, that title belongs to Jay-Z as of now. I like Jay, but Chuck D calling him the greatest of all time? I think it’s time for Chuck to be looking at retirement homes, dudes lost his mind.
    5. Magilla gorilla
    6. Timbo, obviously.
    7. It says that NY radio stations are 50% of the reason NY isn’t on top. The other 50%? G-Unit and Dipset.
    8. Chris Hansen, Dateline NBC, federal prison
    9. Nah, that’s my wifey.
    10. Don Imus is a nappy headed hoe.
    11. I wonder how many homeless kids coulda used those shoes…..

    3. Kim alll the way……..Superstar #2 soon to come (maybe? hopefully? lol)
    4. That title NEVER belonged to Biggie…….
    5. A lemur.
    6. Scott. Timbo flopped and didn’t touch Storch’s cred. He only made himself look like a bitch (with a weak album/beats).
    7. That they’re just like Power 106 out here in L.A. They clearly don’t give a fluck about their local artists.
    8. Absolutely nothing!
    9. Yeah. But she’s MY nappy-headed ho!
    10. lol! F’sho!!!
    11. Not me. Those sh*ts are ugly to begin with…
    12. It’s a 50-way tie: A spindle of 50 CD-Rs for which to burn music onto…….. ;-P

    1) Hell no. XXL has just relocated, along with the rest of hiphop print media to shit, their site xxlmag.com is nice though

    2) Cormega and Foxy showed up, A.Z. was out there probably working a part-time job to play the rent. I think hes still trying to eat off the Phone Tap single and Doe or Die.

    3) … hip hop and vote? paradox?

    4) Biggie, Pac and Jay-Z..

    5) Soon to be roadkill

    6) uh. Timbaland is rocking the charts, Storch mightve had the marginally better diss track though.

    7) Hov 97 didnt book Hov.. wtf?
    8) Some hispanic chick from BX i’ve been trying to dodge for a few weeks

    9) no imus please

    10) Don Imus has changed hiphop more than Nas’ whole convoluted hiphop is dead movement

    11) Yes I did, how about ban Paul Wall

    12) Hip-Hop Is Dead i think back a few days after release :(

    12) Oh, and Cilvaringz – I. Got a real ’97 Wu feel, he’s a very politically inclined Killa Bee but I think his album doesn’t drop ’till a couple months in the US. It already did in Europe though.

    What’s the concensus on Red’s last, since a lotta people on here bought that? I got most Red albums so if it’s as good I might have to get this one too. How does it rank up to the others?
