Basically in the hiphop world long ago there was a war between
Puff daddy (now known as pdiddy) & Notorious Big Vs Tupac & Suge Knight
Which eventually led to many deaths and leaving two distinct groups in the hiphop world.
In my opinion Aftermath Entertainment is really doing well even though Dr.Dre somehow disappeared
He is doing alot of producing rather than being in the front
So that they can nurture more stars and so on.
Doggystyle records failed to do the same as the record company only releases snoop dogg music and fails to cultivate young artiste.
Which brings u to think, did u ever wonder why when u listen to music there is always a Feat blah blah
for example: Ciara ft Missy Elliot.
It is so that the bigger star, for this case Missy Elliot can use her name to boost the new star Ciara so that people would listen to her songs because Missy Elliot's name is there.
50 cent does this alot, to push the names of the crew of G Unit he usually feat with them their songs so that they can also be popular. Because most people would listen to a song if 50's name is there.
Which leads me to wonder
why the hell did snoop dogg sing for the Biggie Tribute in VMA?
and did u notice that EMINEM stayed away from the VMA?
hmmm nah eminem's beef is with Murda Inc. Ja Rule
so thats something else
TADA! so this is something u never knew about the hiphop world..!! :P

Now regarding the issue of JayZ collaborration with Linkin Park
i have thought about it
and i realise why JayZ did it
JayZ is like an old foggie in the hiphop world
he has done tons of music..he has been there done that
he has done all kinds of songs collaborated with so many people
he produce so many music for young stars that there is almost nothing left for him
unless he decideds to act and scare everyone with his gorilla face.
so left to no choice
he sees linkin park and decides HEY! IT WOULD BE FUN TO CHANGE MY GENRE TO ABIT OF ROCK!
so he goes to collaborate with Linkin Park
did he sell out?
in my opinion, not really cause he is such a big name already he has done so much and the music collaborated leans towards hiphop rather than rock so i don't think so.
but in my honest and sadest opinion
LINKIN PARK SOLD OUT!!!!!
let me explain my reasons.
linkin park compared to JayZ is still a relatively small band without much sold accomplishments yet
they only have about 3 or 4 albums so far.
Plus the hiphop world is the really the bigger market in America
in the sense that they really dominate and influence the music world in America
and Linkin park do not have that kind of influence yet.
Also Hiphop is the IN thing now..whenever u look at the Billboard charts the top few songs are ALWAYs hiphop songs even if the song makes no sense lyrically e.g. drop it like its hot. It at the top!
And even mariah carey changes her genre to more R&B so that she can fit in to the music world
so when Linkin Park sees the situation
they go OH OK!..lets have a slice of that pie too!
so they waste their time
and collaborates with JayZ
instead of writing a new album
they decide to mix their music
and create MORE remixes
WOW SO FUN!
soon fans r like going to be so bored wit their songs
cause its jus remix after remix
linkin park! if u want to still be in the music world
fucking write a new albuM!
the fact that u r not in the VMA tells something!..
GO NOW! DUN WAIT!..
one little achievement linkin park got out of this collaboration
is that NOW their music can be heard and dance in CLUBS!
WOW! LETS CLAP!
in the pass u will never hear them play linkin park songs
but now there is
and maybe ppl who never ever ever heard of LP will go, hey who is the band singing with JAYz?
den they go find out
maybe buy their album or download mp3
hmmm gain popularity?
hmmm..perhaps.
however, im still very disturbed by this collaboration
its like hearing My chemical romance collaborate with 50 cents
WEIRD!
-=im so hungry=-
