Gully's Word: "Who forms rap groups in 2011?" →
gullysword:
Two Rick Ross related posts just days a part; a bit much… I know. However, in this week’s City Paper… writer Andrew Noz goes innn on Maybach Music Group’s new release “Self Made Vol. 1”.
“Marketing-wise, it would’ve made more sense to call it what it actually is: a new Rick Ross album with far too may guest appearances.”
No one who listens to rap and has the Internet is going...

This Issue of Common Being Invited to The White...
Aight. So I’m convinced it’s not that Common was invited to the White House that has some people upset, but the idea of a rapper being invited to the White House. Rap is still that dangerous fad on the outside of some people’s America.
