What The Hell?!?! When Did Selling Out Become Cool!?!?


Okay this is your boy DJ Xcalibur back to hit you once again with all that is important in the Hip-Hop culture. This is a topic that has been bothering me for the last couple of days...Selling Out! Are some rappers/producers so tight for money that the jump on the first project that drops into their not so hot lap! Thanks to Sickamore(What up 80' s baby!), he brought this to the light for me when I was reading one of his articles on XXLMAG.com. When did endorsing and rapping on someone like Paris Hilton's record become cool!!! Seriously! Can someone answer me that! As a matter of fact do not even bother because I know what you are goin' to say, "They are just doing it for the money." Bulls***! The cats that i am refering to are Fat Joe and Jadakiss. Oh and here is another list of people working on the project, Three Six Mafia, Lil' Jon, and Scott Storch.

Now Fat Joe and Jada(as much as I like him) I do not think I can let this slide. Fat Joe called Paris Hilton's record/album quote "phenomanal." WHAT THE HELL! Ms. Hilton must have given Joey Crack a monster blowjob for that one... Instead of endorsing a spoiled rotten, rich, and need I say straight racist dumbass, why don't you try keeping your failing label together! Joe has cats on his label who are good but will never see the light of day. Tony Sunshine, Geddy, and Prospect have officially passed benchwarmer status as of like two or three years ago. They have been sitting on the damn bench so long they have started to grow roots! The only smart one at this point is Remy Ma! She announced that she is officially done with Terror Squad and is looking for a new situation as of this week or late last week. Joe if you can get your s*** together maybe I can start liking you music again.

Next, as much as I hate to do this I have to rip into Jada. Dawg, you have to focus on getting D-Block on the ground and running. When I first heard you, Styles, and Sheek were starting this and the bread winner for D-Block was going to be J-Hood I was excited...but it seemed the steam ran out and the label situation with you, SP the Ghost, and Interscope were goin' sour, it seemed like the train came to a full halt. Get back on it man...PLEASE!! New York needs you, Hip-Hop needs you, and we(Hip-Hop Heads) need another LOX album. Come on maaan!

Now me being a producer I have a soft spot for producers so I think I am going to be a little more bias. Lil' Jon is Lil' Jon every body wants a piece of the crunk even Dave Chappell...but Paris Hilton does not need any. Ms. Hilton is crunk enough by herself. Come on look at the sex tape as a reference. Also, now that Three Six has won a Oscar(ALL OF HIP-HOP STAND UP!!) everyone wants a piece of them now. It was uber nice to see everyones jaw drop when they won too. Mr. Tuff Jew I am starting to lose faith in you homie...I dig your beats and you have monster skill and starting your own label is cool. I can understand venturing out but you signed Brook Hogan(seed of wrestler Hulk Hogan).....'nuff said.

I'm going to say this and never again...Get that money and come back over to the Hip-Hop side...PLEASE!!! Alright all of my 3H's I gotta jet, make up for all that lost button mashing time. Catch you in the beat...1!!
