Ya know…
I have seen some… thangs… that have made me utterly disgusted online.
I remember the first time I was on AOL,
back when AOL was POPPIN,
and someone sent me an instant message with some white Vixen eating this black Wolves shat.
Didn’t eat for days.
Couple years ago, people wanted to disgust me with 2 girls; 1 cup.
I had to go to the hypnotist to be purged of that memory.
But this shit right here, yo….
Since the release of the artwork for my single, “Boss Status,” from my upcoming debut EP entitled, 006, there has been backlash going around. So, I want to take this opportunity to explain, in my own words, the picture depicting two artists, whom I consider to be legends and arguably the greatest to ever bless the mic, engaging in homosexual activity. We are now in the day and age where this is no longer considered a taboo. But that is not the main reason why I choose this picture. Throughout the inception of the music business, artists have been continuously cheated out of their royalties and bound by erroneous contracts that essentially ‘screw’ artists over. For the record, I did not intend to release this cover to disrespect the memory or the families of Mr. Tupac Shakur and Mr. Christopher Wallace. They have become iconic, speaking for those like myself, giving the ghetto and less privileged a voice as they spoke about so many different things that affect our culture. Shakur & Wallace started out as comrades, then the industry turned them into human guinea pigs. They were embattled in a music war which ultimately led to their untimely death. In no way am I looking for publicity from this cover. My music speaks for itself. People have the option to look, or not to. Journalists and bloggers will have the option to post this on their website if they choose to do so. Again, we don’t ask that you do, but no longer shall the industry control our destiny and turn our people against one another. We have a BIGGER mission in life to speak for those who don’t have a voice and create outlets where we can all be heard.

How you gonna kill your career before it even starts?
His explanation is so stupid that I can already see tomatoes being thrown at it.
Like, I want his head on a platter for even disrespecting my Hiphop legends like this.
Diddy, I’m sure, is about to have his goon of mini-Koopas all up and down on his ass (pause).
(mind still on the initial elephant in the room)
Yeah so,
I’m more upset Biggie is the Fox in a damn gold thong… but again, that is neither here nor there.
Now if you will excuse me,
I have to go make another appointment with that hypnotist.
I think I know what he was trying to do. Essentially saying Tupac and Biggie, essentially, fucked eachother because they allowed themselves to be used as puppets for the record industry and those who were “in charge”.
A good message, but a bad business move.
He’s just tryna make a name for himself…unfortunately for him, that name is mud right about now. Betta stick with his day job
CTFU.
What the fresh hell is this?
Dead@you mad that Biggie is the fox. Don’t trip, there are tons of Slim Jims that love some Fat Back Meat.
Hip Hop is dead.
I remember seeing this, it’s a bit too much for me. Dude took it way too far.
I understood the first part of his statement…
but what does the industry have to do with them having sex on your album cover?
^ya feels me tho!
nothing about his statement had to do with the cover.
he tried to be deep and ended up looking like an asshole.
