watch out juelz

In the Oct issue of Sister 2 Sister mag, in response to the question “How long have you been rapping,” Lil Nikki answered, “As soon as I came out, the doctor slapped me and I said ‘Yo!”
“i spit knives/ first aid gon hafta bandage ya crew”: Lil Nikki, at age 14, bilingual, from Richmond VA (w/one or two disturbing and unsettling lines on “adult” themes). Now 17. Working on her metaphors, but yo, check out the flow. On scholastic par w/The Game, or rather, they both drop their rap history like baubles at the end of lines, only Game is… what, like 42 now? Plus a Trey Songz joint, plus Nikki co-rescued my ole pal Nicole Wray from Def Jam’s never-gonna-be-released limbo-stasis file. (Cause Jay’s running DJ like the Knicks– sign ’em fresh & hella young; not perfect yet, but investments are gonna pay off down the line. Let your fanbase grow up with your artists. Meanwhile keep the oldsters on the starting line-up comfortable so their performances don’t flag. Like yknow Ghostface. Nicole Wray? She’s on those mixtapes like ‘Poose. Thanks to Dipset for consistently employing my cause celebre.)
Parlez de: new ashanti + paul wall & method man “still on it” and Beyonce + slim thug “check on it,” and “for the nite” by jamie foxx & ludacris listenable consecutively on the mixtape “Big Mike R&B Jumpoff #19”: F-Dot as in fiyahahhhh. also, ne-yo is still my husband (“my husband” being a representative adjective defined as “the dude”)
what’s on jazzbo patel’s desktop, on the 20-whatevereth floor of the viacom bldg: maceo mixtape, maceo mixtape, maceo mixtape, maceo mixtape, mike shinoda cd-r, maceo mixtape, maceo mixtape, empty bottle of horizon organic milk (may have been in trash).
what’s on mine, on the third floor of my brooklyn walk-up (gowanus, put yr lighters up): a coffee mug embossed with the declarative statement “ETHAN LUND THINKS I AM AN ASSHOLE”
[possible topics of conversation: who is ethan lund? and why does he think I am an asshole?]
