Recap of 2007 In Hip Hop?

Nas and his highly-discussed Hip-hop is Dead, Cam'ron and his infamous "CURRRTIS!" line, Ghostface shedding tears-- and discussing it, the death of Stack Bundles, 50 Cent losing to Kanye, and everything in between.



1. January 16th - Nas Goes Gold with Hip Hop is Dead -- After Only 3 Weeks. Sure, Soulja Boy is finally gold after two whole months of massive BET/radio payola scandals and what have you, but despite the haters wishing HHID into oblivion, Nasir bagged 500,000 + off of one single which barely made any noise outside of the tri-state area. And then moved on to sell almost 800,000 copies in total. Now that's what you call a following. And not only that, but an entire year later, the SOHH Forums are still plagued with thread titles reading "HHID%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;God's Son," "Vote: Worst track on HHID," "How many units did Nas sell for HHID?" and so on and so forth. What's another way to say "get over it?" There isn't.



2. January 23rd - Tru Life Renames Lil Wayne "Weezy Goldberg" - Not only was Bush's effort to shut down freedom of speech via blogging discussed this go-round, but L.E.S rapper Tru Life gave Lil Whoopi Weezy another moniker that has been glued to him ever since.



3. February 2nd - Cam'ron and 50 Cent Battle it out Over the Phone. The following quote has been written into the book of Hip-Hop Classic history:



"Curtis! Curtis! How much did the Mobb sell Curtis!"



Nuff said.



4. April 6th - DMX Discredits West Coast Rap. But don't mind X, he was just a little high. We all know the West Coast deserves all the props they get; I still listen to The Chronic to this day. West Coast rap for right now? Not so sure. But DMX did give big ups to The Game, who is struggling to hold on to a career that came and went faster than getting brains from Superhead; no lie, he's dead *** driving a Honda Accord right about now... guess he didn't get far?



5. April 27th - FOUND! The Unfortunate Fall of Damon Dash. The streets were watching for Dame... and he refused to come out from hiding until the New York Post went digging around for him. They tried to make Dame look quite... broke, without making him look... broke. If you care, read on to understand. Then Dame reappeared with



Bossip.com, where he got some sh*t off his chest that he knows he'd never say to Hov face-to-face {PEEP HERE}. But that's industry n*ggas for you, word.



6. May 9th - Ghostface Gets Touchy, Speaks Candidly About Crying... and he calls himself a "lonely old man." Lmao. SMH. I'll just stay quiet on this one.



7. May 18th - Cam Stands by his Pool in his Boxers, Tells 50 Cent it's Gonna be a "Hot Summer." Oh yes, it was a hot summer in New York City... without Cam present, of course.



8. June 12th- Freekey Zekey Releases Statement Pertaining to the Death of Stack Bundles. R.I.P to Far Rock's Stack, who passed away by the hands of a murderer Monday, June 11th. It's crazy how fast time goes. It's already been nearly 7 months.



9. July 11th - Remy Ma Commits "Blasphemy" with Flaming Mixtape Cover. And her new gimmick was "The BX Savior Shesus Khryst." People discussed this cover art over lunch a few times that week. Word was flying that Kaos didn't want to do it. But he did.



**I Will Still Hit That**



10. July 12th - Hot 97's Miss Jones Says she's Releasing a Tell-All Book... that nobody bought BAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! This was never a hot topic (*snicker*) but I just wanted to point out that somewhere between Superhead and Nas' baby moms, we forgot to care. So consider this a "bonus entry" -- that probably got more reads than her book. What was the name of it again? All I remember is that she released to the internet a very graphic passage containing her sexcapades with Busta Rhymes. It was quite nauseating, to say the least. But anything grueling is more enjoyable than looking at her muppet face and square-box body shape. BRRRRRRRRRRRR *shiver*. Now watch word get back to her and then she announce on Hot 97 that her book sold a million copies.



11. July 16th - Remy Ma Takes a Trip to Riker's Island for Shooting Friend. Right after that damn mixtape cover! Damn, Rem!



12. July 20th - 50 Says Jay-Z Won't Allow Kanye to Drop the Same Day as Him... and in the end, he played himself, hard body. By 300K, to be exact {PEEP HERE}. I would love to devote an entire blog on how pathetic Curtis is, but I'll move on to the next topic. I'll get back to that later.



13. August 16th - Racist Bill O'Reilly Attacks Nas. But it's all good. O'Reilly just wanted a little attention... and got it. pu*sy Azz Wigger!



14. September 20th - Papoose Dropped From Jive. Just like many of us already knew from the look of things. Kay Slay went on and on about how happy and relieved they were. I believe it. But ... okay. We get it.



15. September 21st - Saigon and Prodigy "Bang it Out" at SOB's... and Saigon Runs. Lmao... a certain blogger here on SOHH, who doesn't know jack spit about hip-hop, was calling him Havoc. SMH. What an idiot.



16. October 16th - Nas Causes Mass Hysteria with Talks of New Album, N*gga. After this point, it went from N*gga to N*gger {PEEP HERE}. Nas caused so much commotion, the white news folks called on Allhiphop and SOHH to "discuss" the matter. Before you knew it, the so-called "leaders" of our time --or whatever they call themselves-- even had something to say.



17. October 22nd - Prodigy Talks Jail Time. I already did what I had to do in this blog {PEEP HERE}, so I'll say no more.



18. - November 20th - Saigon "Quits" Rap. After cursing out a SOHH contributor on air -- drunk, he breaks down at the sight of his name being thrown all over the net, tosses up a pissy Myspace blog, and then vanishes. Only to turn around and make a "come back" last week. (If that were only true about him quitting )



19. December 4th - Lil Kim Justifies Remy Ma "Beef." This is the story of the little bit of buzz that Kim created... that has already since fizzled out. Go figure. I'm tired of her so I'll just move on now.



20. December 19th - Remy Claps Back at Lil Kim. Damn, does Remy dog Kim's plastic surgery!
