Rhymefest – Real Nigga Quotes (produced by DJ Premier)

So some random internets thug named Prometheus sent Fake Shore Drive an email claiming that he found Rhymefest’s iPod and will leak a new track from his forthcoming album, El Che unless Fest and Allido records moves up the release date. The dude claims he’s a “fan” and that the people have “NO FUCKING IDEA how hot this shit sounds!” Sounds like an intern at Allido is getting a little bit TOO creative doesn’t it?

Rhymefest responds in typical gangsta mentality and claims the whole Prometheus this is a joke and that these tracks were already leaked months ago. Then he goes after the Internet “haters” in some long winded fashion that was too damn long for me to read.

I try not to post bullshit like this because personally, this is the stuff that turns me off to hip-hop. I wouldn’t even touch the subject, but the tracks that Prometheus “leaked” are actually quite hot, and I respect Rhymefest as a rapper and thought that Blue Collar was one of the most underrated albums of 2006.

If Rhymefest or his people did leak these tracks to create drama or publicity then he deserves a huge FAIL. These songs are good enough to stand by themselves musically, and if people need drama or bs for them to be interested in an artist, then they probably aren’t listening to Rhymefest anyway.

I’m really not following the whole Kanye ghostblogging “controversy” and personally I really don’t care. I do read Kanye’s blog on the daily, and I have questioned the fact that the dude has at least 10 posts a day while he’s supposedly touring or producing, or whatever else the dude does.

But when you look at Kanye’s posts, they’re usually one line long, and really don’t have any skill or depth to them. He needs a Ghostblogger for that? Dude, I could do postings like that from my Phone.

Anyway, the whole ghostblogging point is null and void. Wannabe gossip blogger Sandra Rose accused Canadian blogger Marcus Troy as being Kanye’s Ghost Blogger after he wrote this sorta tongue and cheek post about wanting to become a Ghostblogger–NOT that he was a ghostblogger. Either Ms. Rose can’t read or she had some type of vendetta, because obviously the dude said nothing about being Kanye’s Ghostblogger. Of course, with Kanye being Kanye, he unleashed an assault on the dude and posting pictures of himself er….blogging.

This is the type of blogging bullshit that makes me want to dust off my old IBM typewriter from my mom’s closet and become the unabomber. As much as I love blogging, I’m hating the fact that this medium is becoming like cable news–where blogs are competing to one up each other with “scoops,” and “Breaking News.” Obviously, this chick Sandra Rose thought she had a scoop on Kanye, but if she just re-read the damn post, she would see that it was just some dude with a blog posting nonsense. Maybe it was her Ghostblogger? She should learn not to outsource those things.

Disclaimer: If you didn’t know–The Couch Sessions is 100% GHOSTBLOGGER FREE. I would hope the misspellings and the 4 -6 week lag time it takes for me to do reviews would give it away.
