Same Idiot, Real Idiot

HIP-HOP ON A HIGHER LEVEL
August 2007 No. 94

I Was There
Words: Sacha Jenkins Images: Ben Watts

Excerpts:

XXL: Some of Cam’ron’s jabs are about your not being in the streets with the people.

50 Cent: The same idiot that you you just mentioned went on 60 Minutes and said he wouldn’t tell police about [the whereabouts of] a serial killer. Only thing missing from hip-hop is an IQ test [set in boldface type for emphasis]. If you’re smart, you know that’s not the fuckin’ place to say that. Then you gotta send a statement out and apologize. What does that mean? That he will snitch?

XXL: Why would someone saying your name…

50 Cent: That’s another point. Like I’m telling you, you’re dealing with a real idiot. He calls me the name my mother named me, to make me feel like that’s a disrespect on some level. Doesn’t make sense. Curtis is now the name of my album.

Insecurely in Comfort

Leon Ware: Comfort (aka Come Live With Me Angel) Ft. Minnie Riperton
From: Musical Massage (Gordy/Motown, 1976)

Paraphrased from Dusty Groove:

Leon Ware’s Musical Massage is arguably:

• LW's paramount record and
• One of the foremost Motown records of the 70's.

The record is a beautiful interlacement of balmy soul, recorded right on the heels of Marvin Gaye's I Want You album, which was conceived and written by LW, yet assumed by MG.
For this set, LW creates a auditory impression reminiscent of I Want You forging smooth keyboards with artful inferring of electro-funk, the amalgamation converges with LW’s sweetly warming (sounds like a job for Cam'ron's, "No Homo" verifier) vocals.
This original version of Comfort was also performed by MG on I Want You.

Cam'ron: Freestyle

Cam'ron: Curtis (Prod. by The MG'z) (Inst.)
From: J. Armz: How To Be An MC, Vol. 42 (Vinyl, 2007)

Erykah Badu & Madlib have been in the studio recently; however, this track wasn't made for a particular album.
Erykah doesn't know how it got out and Madlib can't revive when it was made.

Jim told Miss Info, “on the record,” that he and the whole rest of the Diplomats crew, or the Dipset 300 as he put it….that they are collectively “putting Cam’ron on punishment.”

Ju-Par Universal Orchestra: Is Anyone Listening?
From: Moods & Grooves (Ju-Par, 1976)

Below find excerpts from AHH’s article where rapper Cam'ron explains his 60 Minutes interview and issues an apology for his comments:

"Where I come from, once word gets out that you've cooperated with the police that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence," Cam'ron explained. "That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I'm not saying it’s right, but it’s reality. And it's not unfounded. There's a harsh reality around violence and criminal justice in our inner cities."
Despite this reality, Cam’ron is quick to say that "my experience in no way justifies what I said" on 60 Minutes.
"Looking back now, I can see how those comments could be viewed as offensive, especially to those who have suffered their own personal tragedies or to those who put their lives on the line to protect our citizens from crime," he stated. "Please understand that I was expressing my own personal frustration at my own personal circumstances. I in no way was intending to be malicious or harmful. I apologize deeply for this error in judgment."

From the heralding bowels of XXL Magazine:

Cam’Ron was white hot a few years ago in the ‘Hey Ma’ era and I honestly enjoyed listening to him more than Jigga, but since then Cam has become trash. It’s like he hasn’t pushed his style any further. If you rhyme the exact same way you did ten years ago it says to me that you haven’t grown as an artist.

J-J-J-J-J-Jew Unit

CITATION REGURGITATION


According to 50 Cent, "When it comes to civil, you don’t have to worry about G-Unit. You have to worry about the J-J-J-J-J-Jew Unit. When the lawyers come out, we gonna see what it is.”

In other litigation related news:
Max Bigavell, born Charly Wingate, while holding a prison mess hall tray raps a taste about his:

• ghostwriting for Cam'ron, Jim Jones ("Ballin'"), Brydgang, etcetera,
• sanguinity which allows him to lampoon himself - rhyming about farina and waffles/chicken and rice and
• nine month pregnant wife who has not received any financial support albeit a stroller from industry cronies with AHH.

Malapropism

FORENOON TENDER


Juelz Santana's Rap City freestyle of March 7, 2007, as much of what the Dipset does, is guffaw-worthy albeit by default (i.e. happenstance - though they apparently have a rap-comedian monopoly) or willfully. Nevertheless, JS's use of "athletes feet" versus "athletes foot" is a malapropism (or my perception of one). JS repeating, "ya stinking it up like athletes feet" three times has made my day - let it enrich your life as well.

Main Entry: mal·a·prop·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈma-lə-ˌprä-ˌpi-zəm\
Function: noun
Etymology: Mrs. Malaprop, character noted for her misuse of words in R. B. Sheridan's comedy The Rivals (1775)
Date: 1849
1 : the usually unintentionally humorous misuse or distortion of a word or phrase; especially: the use of a word sounding somewhat like the one intended but ludicrously wrong in the context
2 : MALAPROP
— mal·a·prop·ist \-ˌprä-pist\ noun

Per Wikipedia:
Athlete's foot or tinea pedis is a fungal infection of the skin of the foot, usually between the toes, caused by parasitic fungi.
Athlete's foot is a layman's description of a skin fungal infection. Fungal infections of the skin are called dermatophytosis. Dermatophytes may be spread from other humans (anthropophilic), animals (zoophilic) or may come from the soil (geophilic).
