Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Macklemore's work with Ryan Lewis...I prefer his older stuff. That said, Wings is a GREAT song! And he has one about addiction that's really great too.


Yea wings is awesome, so much meaning.

And now, Loaded Lux, the man who is the very definition of hip hop, brings you the music video for True Love off that Beloved EP.
Creative, great lyrics, great flow. Starts at the 50 second mark.

Well, the Rick Ross situation has become very serious.

First came the videos below from GDs in Georgia:


[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N814f-Z873U[/youtube]

That first video led to the masons responding below:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6etOKeDrmc[/youtube]

Then more videos from GDs in other states, including these below:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en0SxFyGyCE[/youtube]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TYdMlCOWQs[/youtube]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgTzVygrA4U[/youtube]

Then a more detailed explanation of the situation was given by a GD from Chicago. Chicago is the birthplace of the GDs, so things became clearer once the response below was released:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7obeQvWQT7M[/youtube]

Which led to Rick Ross cancelling his tour:

Rick Ross Cancels Tour As His Gangster Appropriation Shtick Gets Scary

On Friday afternoon, Rick Ross announced he was canceling the remainder of his current Maybach Music Group tour. The official reason, according to his reps, is "apparent lack of organization and communication on the part of the tour promoter." The unofficial reason is a lot scarier than poor logistics.

The MMG tour launched November 2, was scheduled through December 2, and was intended to be extended through December 16. And its cancellation came, Billboard points out, "a day after Ross canceled two shows in North Carolina ... [reportedly] due to threats from the Gangster Disciples street gang." You can see the threats online — because this is 2012, and even gangsters beef on YouTube — and they're not pleasant.

Now, Rick Ross has decided to respond, which is a terrible mistake on his part IMO:

Sucks to be an artist in the music industry today. LongLiveA$AP leaked nearly a month in advance. :lol:

I like what I've heard so far, which is about half the album. Not as good as GKMC or Life is Good, but probably up there with any other rap/hip-hop album this year.

It doesn't matter. Artists don't make most of their money off albums.

I know it's not where they make most of their money, but they're still losing a good amount due to it.
