Wuddup Wuddup yall...North Bronx in the fukin building!!...(sorry had to say that..no one bigs us up) Ya boy Swayze is back for another round. This time around I know imma ruffle a few feathers but I could give two shyts. I have selected three hip hop artists who are gettin some SERIOUS burn right now, and Imma talk about why they aint shyt to me. Your job as the reader is to hit me and let me know why I should even take these fools seriously. Even though I am hella opinionated I do have an open mind that can be swayed with the correct persuasion. Okay let’s get to it.

Let me start with the only artist of the bunch to currently have a project out. Envelope please.... Yung Joc(or yung joke as i like to call him...also if you’re under 21 shouldn’t u have to say pause after every time u say his name) come on down!!!! Now i know my TRUE hip hop heads are saying "Swayze, why are u gonna waste time with this peon." Here’s the reason why. 492,817. Yes people...he is approaching gold. My God. Now I'll admit when i was in South Beach back in March and i heard "its goin down" for the first time in the club, i was like yo this shyt is pretty hot. Banging beat catchy hook. Then in one of my sober moments down there I listened to the lyrics. I even remember telling one of my homeys "Have u listened to what this nikka sayin??? Hes garbage." He even gets my vote for worse bar of all time("Ask me how i know...its me...surprise") THE FUCK??? Then come to find he didn’t even write the damn song. The producer Nitty wrote it(stick to beats homey) One would assume that your ghostwriter is better at writing a song than you. So this leads me to assume that wuteva Joke woulda came up with woulda been wacker. Not a good look. Now he has a nursery rhyme song out that takes the cake. And some intelligent people actually like this crap (I wont say no names Skateboard M...ur secrets safe) Eenie Meenie Minie Moe???(if that’s how u spell the shyt) Bim Bam??? Can’t be serious. Now my thing is...who’s buying this crap?? Is it teens? grown folk? white teens? the south? I mean someone’s buying it. Why bootleg Ghostface and buy Joke??? Is Bad Boy pushing it that hard? I dunno. Plus on top of all this homey aint even handsome.(A real man shouldn’t have to say no homo) So i don’t see sex appeal being the reason. Is the album hot??? I’ve heard about 6 songs and im not impressed. Someone let me know. On a good note...he kinda looks like a ninja turtle and i loved that cartoon growing up. That always makes me smile. Thanks Joke.

Next up...envelope please.....Rick Ross come on down!!! Yes i like "hustlin" just like you do, but come on. Let's start with credibility. You want me to believe this guy is or was some sort of drug kingpin??? I think not. I saw this interview with Ricky from a few years back and almost didn’t believe it was him. I thought people dress nicely when they have alotta money and run a highly lucrative drug ring. Apparently not. This guy looks homeless. Honestly he looks like he wears those same clothes everyday (salvation army) and collects cans in lil Haiti. Then he wants to flash a gun and start dissin TIP. Please. I know broke nikkas with guns, personally. So wuteva. And dissin TIP was just for a little attention. (He’s in the air he don’t hear Ross' corny raps) Much props to Def jams artist development for taking a person with no money nor a place to stay and giving him a bar of soap, some nice clothes, and some glasses to cover up those big ass eyes. But i don’t believe he was cool with Noriega or even Noreaga for that matter. Now on to his music. He has a couple good tracks thanks to cool and dre, but most of what i heard im not feeling. The next single, "blow" does bang in the whip but his lyrics aint doing it for me. He also got some wack shyt with mario winans, fucked up a dj toomp beat, and only spit decently over the prerequisite akon track(cant have a rap album without an akon track now can we) His flow is okay, his lyrics are okay, and i cant see women swooning over him. So what’s the big deal??? Someone has got to tell me. And i don’t wanna hear 15 songs about drugs. I already have Thug Motivation 101, and as a Jeezy fan im offended.(snowman bitch!!!) One at a time please. Thanks. (yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea)

NOW...(if you could only see the smile on my face) lets get to some real shyt. Lets get to some shyt that’s been burning my soul for a while now. Envelope please....Lupe Fi- wut??? Wuteva. Skate on down!!!! Yea I said it. WHAT! Now, before you throw your backpacks down, hand your pocket protector to your "girlfriend" (sister) and begin coming at me with your arms moving in the windmill motion, listen up. I've read enough internet blogs to know that a vast amount of people think that this guy is the "hip hop savior." Now i know he didn’t ask for this title, but that is the main reason im being so harsh on him. I haven’t felt this cat since i heard him on "touch the sky." He has a few nice lines here and there, but i just can’t get into his music. The only time i would wanna hear him is if for whatever reason i became an insomniac and couldn’t sleep at night. He’s just plain out boring. His delivery and his voice make it hard for me to want to even listen to his lyrics. I’m also not feeling him conceptually, and when he does have a good idea or concept, i just doesn’t come out right. I’ve already had people try to convince me this dude is nice with different freestyles and such, but nothings working. I wont lie, i haven’t heard every mixtape nor every song, but i feel as though ive heard enough to make a sound judgment. And why do all yall like that kick push shyt?? Good beat, but I don’t wanna hear that skateboard shyt unless im playing a N.E.R.D. album. Wut a corny song. I’m sorry. And if you a grown man riding a skateboard around my way you probably gonna get your ass kicked. Real talk. So ride fast. So why is he "that next dude"? Because he aint rappin about guns or drugs? Neither does kweli or mos def(both of whom are waaaaay betta than Lupe) And also, why did yall bootleg the shyt outta his album and make him have to kick and push it back like 8 months??? Too busy buying Yung Joke i guess. And i know this doesn’t have anything to do with his rapping ability, but doesn’t he look like the kid who got picked on in school and couldn’t drink the milk cuz he was lactose intolerant??? And what the fuk is a lupe fiasco??? Worse rap name ever. Wuteva. And on a sidenote, i heard he’s a real arrogant dickhead so be careful when you ask for an autograph. He may slap you with his rhymebook and ask you if you know who the fuk he is. Real talk.

Honorable Mention: Papoose. I’m from New York, and this dude is not bringing anything "back to New York" or wuteva you wanna call it. Average at best. (second worse rap name ever)

So until I see you again, feel free to hit my email at wavespin360dg@aol.com and convince me of why I am wrong about any of these three(four) artists. Feel free to leave links to songs that may change my mind. And as a bonus, I know this aint new but this is the best hip-hop song ive heard in a long ass time. Happy Birthday Bytches. And FUCK wendy williams. Real Talk.
