Hip-Hop Blog Round-Up: Kanye West Raps In Court

Sunday May 28, 2006
You may have heard of Kanye's hilarious impromptu courtroom performance by now. While testifying in court for the copyright infringement lawsuit against Kanye West and Ludacris, the judge asked West to spit the first two lines from the song in question, Ludacris' "Stand Up." The 6-time Grammy-winner hesitated before finally blurting out a line laced with profanity that came across to the judge as out of place in the dignified Manhattan courtroom. "I'm sorry I asked," the blushing judge said with a chuckle, as nearly everyone in the courtroom, including the jurors, laughed out loud. The judge later added: "I think I'm going to withdraw my question." Jay Smooth has more on this incident over at the HipHop Music blog.

I know this is a hip-hop website, but, it has just dawned on me that the Dixie Chicks could pass for rappers if they sang their lyrics a bit faster. Just kidding. Seriously, though, Ian makes a judicious observation about the chicks and so-called rappers on his blog, Notes for a Different Kitchen.

In her latest entry, XXL online columnist Fresh laments the demise of hip-hop's final hope for a mainstream TV, B.E.T, which she's re-named Barely Entertaining Television. It appears 106th & Parks hosts Big Tigger and Julissa are headed for the door. (Source: Talkin' Reckless)

The Dixie Chicks are pretty awesome! Granted, I didn’t really like their music until I was aware of their political stance. However, I am feeling Toby Keith (who claims to be neutral)…

If you know someone around you who is being a little shady and you are getting uncomfortable around them, then maybe you might want to run a small background report on the person in question to make sure that they are ‘who they say they are’.

Many people misrepresent themselves as the situation benefits them

The passenger seat in the car has been moved from its usual position.
Often when you answer the phone, the caller hangs up on the other side.
