|  #1 Posted on 2.3.04 1804.10 | I not shocked when Tupac releases a new album or narrates his own movie- he's clearly alive somewhere in the Caribbean. But how is Biggie Smalls rapping about P.Diddy running the city on Diddy's new song? Six years ago P.Diddy didn't exist. He was either called Sean Puffy Combs or Puff Daddy. And I'm pretty confident he wasn't talking about the NYC marathon back then.

1: I bet "running the city" probably meant "running things in the city/in charge of stuff", as opposed to literally *runnung* through the city.
2: I'm sure Puffy/P.Diddy/Puff Daddy was refering to himself as Puffy/P.Diddy/Puff Daddy and a plethora of other similar names before he made the official switch.
3: I feel kinda silly answering these questions, was this supposed to be some sort of sarcasm/joke that went right over my head?

And Frosty, what's up with having Kanye West as your avatar instead of the usual Laker love?

I am SO very much in love with Kanye's CD. I bought it like 2 (3?) weeks ago and I havent listened to the radio or anything else in my car (ok, it's a van) since.
I am so tired of all this "Bling-Bling/The hoes on my album cover have bigger asses than the hoes on your album cover/17 singles in a row about how shiny my rims are/This is my very first song ever and I'm only 19 and I never even had a real job before I started rapping but lookit how carelessly I throw all these hunderd-dollar bills in the fireplace I had installed in the back of my stretched Escalade, HOLLA!" crap on the radio. Save it. If you're a rapper, and you turn on the radio and hear 160 songs in a row about how much money all these other rappers have (even though they really dont), what would posess you to become the 161st song on the radio to be about all the money you have (even though you really dont)? I dont get it, I cant stand it.
FINALLY someone comes along and raps about stuff that actually HAPPENED to them, issues that actually apply to their real lives, and subject matter that I can relate to: Dropping out of college, being broke, living with moms, working crappy jobs, etc. Rock bands can do it, country singers can do it, it's about damn time rappers do it too.
(Special shout-out to Talib Kweli, Common, & Mos Def while I'm at it.)
Besides, my post colors are still Laker-riffic, so I think I'm covered :)
