Eminem Vs. Mariah Carey

I bet by now you have all heard the Eminem dis track back at Mariah. I'm wondering who do you believe?? Break the songs down, i'm going to tell you why 1 track is believable and why the other one is not. Lets start at the top, Eminem has always been controversial and he says a lot of wild s**t but can you say he's not real? I mean the guy openly blast himself on his own track. Then you have Mariah Carey who is well I'm just gonna say she's a little less then real. Her song is called "Obsessed," i don't know about yall but i think that alone expains how highly she thinks of herself. I mean when was the last time Eminem even mentioned her? I think Mariah is a little embarrased with the fact that she was called out. By the lyrics on Eminem's "Warning," i think its safe to say that events took place. I think its pretty hilarious. If she did do something with him she needs to stop trying to lie about it. No one wants details about you and Shady's sexual escapades ( well maybe somebody but not me) but don't front. I think she was better off not acknowledging it cause now you got Mr. Slim Shady firing shots off. On top of that you got Mr.Carey defending your "honor" and now he's gonna get ripped. SMH. Mariah give it up your time is up and you just gave Eminem a little more ammo for his Comeback.

FINAL VERDICT: EMINEM WINS, MARIAH CAREY= WOMP

Drake Cartoon Parody

This shit is soo accurate i was on the floor, whoever did the Wayne's voice did a good job, sounds like some shit Wayne would say in his rap. Drake dunkin as Jimmy = lol. The cartoon version of rappers were awesome. Check it out.

J. Ivy "Never Let Me Down"

Def Poetry Jam was definetely one of my favorite shows to watch on TV. I loved the fact that bright, articulate poets were given a place to showcase and share their poetry with everyone. They also had a lot of great rappers and artist showcasing their lyrics, allowing people to look at Hip Hop in a whole new light. It's not all money, cars and hoes. Y'all might remember this particular spoken word on Kanye West album, "The College Dropout" feat Jay-Z. This part of the song grabbed my attention because this was around the time that Def Poetry Jam was on TV and i just loved how deep it was. It just a step above any kind rap. It inspired me to write poetry and express myself just like music does for all you artist out there. Check it out.

Meet BDotJay

ChiLL feat. Blessed & DeMeat - B [dot] Jay

Cypher - B [dot] Jay


BDotJay is an upcoming rapper/producer getting a lot of buzz. Cool assss guy and i thought y'all should know more about him. He's a feature artist on www.yearofhiphop.com, check him out there and at:
www.weirdoeclothing.com
www.myspace.com/bdotjay
www.twitter.com/bdotjay

Who is B.Dot?

B [dot] is a 17 y.o. college freshmen that was drawn into music since he was born. & an avid lover of ramen noodles .

Why do you think people are drawn to your music?

Mainly because I'm different & I do & say what others are afraid to, while doing it on a dope beat.

What artist do you listen too?

Depends on the day lol . One day its Drake, Kid Cudi, & Charles Hamilton . The next day it could be Kanye, Biggie, & Wiz Khalifa . Then I might switch it to Justin Nozuka, T-ReQ, & Chester French . So it all basically depends on my mood .

Who would you compare your sound too? Why?

I really dont compare myself to other artists but I've heard I sound like a mix between The Cool Kids & Pharrell . Then on another note I've heard that I flow like Weezy with a Lupe style . I admire all of those artists so I take em as a compliment .

What is your favorite song on your on your upcoming Mixtape Diamonds, Dunkz and Backpackz?

Awh man . I'm about to sound like a "rapper" when I say this lol . But all of the songs are like my children, I just can't choose one . The meaning of each song makes it stand out on its own . Like my song called "iLL.Ness" is one of my deepest tracks to date, it talks about how my mother wanted an abortion while pregnant with me & it talks about my first heartbreak . Then you have a song like "NewKidOnTheBlock" that starts off at a club on "Open Mic Night" and there are two performances one by Benjamin Dotavious & one by B [dot] Jay . In that song you'll learn the differences between the two.

When is that dropping?

My brother ReQ is mixing songs as I type this . But I'm hoping the 1st week of august .

If you could work with any artist who would it be (new, and old)?

Thats a good question . Since KanYe is my favorite artist I would have to say him & the Neptunes . & older rappers ? hmm I would say Biggie because I think it would be beyond dope to have Biggie's wordplay & my flow on a track .

What is your opinion on the current state of hip hop, and where do u fit in ?

I honestly think Hip Hop is in a good state. Not every rapper can be a Lupe or Jay-Z . People hate the dance music, I don't know why, when dancing is one of Hip Hop's main elements . I get mad when its becomes over-saturated though . Like the New Boyz came out with the Jerk movement, but I bet that over 20 new artists get signed thats part of the jerking and its gonna get tiriing after a while. But with people like Drake, Cudi, Charles Hamilton, FrXsh, T-ReQ & myself in the game you'll have nothing to worry about.

Celebrity Crush?

Keri Hilson, Nikki Jean [On Lupe's "HipHop Changed My Life"] & Roxy Reynolds owww lol

Favorite pair of shoes?

Any Nike Dunks, my 1st loves

Why are you, YEAROFHIPHOP?

I'm YOHH because I represent the new class of musical geniuses. Death to these wack rappers. *Raises sword in the air*

Hip Hop is Dead ?

Hip Hop being dead is an ongoing topic that no one seems to agree on ! I don't believe that even for a second. Music, especially hip hop has always been evolving it never stays the same. Does change mean death? Music went through a recession and what happens when the economy hits a recession, out with the old and in with the new. There is a whole new generation of music that's taking over. Artist like the ones featured on www.yearofhiphop.com (shameless plug) but it's true. With artist like those making their way in the music scene can you really say hip hop is dead? It's only the beginning. Hip Hop has become pop music. The goal of www.yearofhiphop.com is to introduce these artist to the world, there is a whole community online that supports these artist, but now we're trying to reach the masses, Raaaddddiiiioooooo killa ! Support music and don't be afraid to step outside the box !

Game Vs. Jay-Z

So Game has been on a worldwide tour dissin Jay-Z. Everybody knows that's the oldest trick in the book. Oh, yall don't know how "beefs" work. Let me break it down. Pick the biggest name in the industry, then talk some shit about him. Pretty simple. Why? Well when you really dont have no buzz around you, the best way is to build buzz is to associate a big name to yours. I'm wordering why this happens so often in the hiphop community, i mean isnt that still considered Hating? You dont ever see no rock bands calling each other out. Why is it cool when rappers do it? I don't know but i think that beefs are played out.
