I like the idea that we were supposed to believe any of those stories to begin with. I was just thinking about 'Snitch' the record he did with Obie Trice yesterday. What a banger. Whatever though, Akon should headline Glastonbury, the whites would plotz!

Tupac was never in a gang and Ice Cube is middle class. There's scope for rappers to be poets or minstrels telling tales that go on around them but if they feign their background, it's sad. But the world, and the media world, thrives on strict colour and class and sexual identities. Doesnt it?

Seems to, yeah.
Damn, Ice Cube was doing an architecture degree when he was supposed to be popping thangs. I do think of him as more of a Johnny Cash type though.
Nice one Tego, I forgot about that joint! I put it up for the rest of youse to go "phwoar" at..

I've always been very vocal in my hate for Akon. I think he's a clown. From darn near raping 14 year old girls to picking up and throwing people off the stage at his shows, hes just a douche bag. I took a little bit of time out and wrote about Akon today over at Highbrid Nation and I hope that the uncovering of his true past is a message to artists and labels that "keeping it real" doesn't mean making up some stuff.

Hate? What did Lil Wayne say about hate? Whatever, it is the opposite of love and thus The Same Thing. So you're better off feeling pity for Akon. He's gonna need it. His fall will (if we're lucky) set off warning bells in the brains of every other fake thug out there. Apart from Weezy, he don't listen to reason. Akon will fall, right? Surely this is dude over and done with? Sorry part 2 anyone?

I guess it's fairly sad that people feel they need to have gone to prison to be cool. Good I suppose that they didn't actually kill anyone or anything though. Akon was never going to be as awesome as Johnny Cash - that is the sad and honest truth. He was an actual rebel. I hope.
