1. Cam’Ron on 60 Minutes: Ok… We can’t really say we hated Cam for this one, but daam! Did he make rappers look stupid... again! Not only did he take the concept of “no snitching” to new and retarded levels, but he basically admitted that he is an advocate for serial killers. There’s no excuse for this rubbish Cam… Shame on you! We know why you laid low for like 5 months. Family issues my ass… You were just waiting till everyone forgot your buffoonery on 60 Minutes. Stupid nigga…

2. Saigon quitting rap & coming back as expected: Well after threatening to punch Melissa Ford and taking a few shots from Mobb Deep’s crew in Queens; Saigon figured that the rap game ain’t “gangster” enough for him with all the gossip and rumors that surround its stars. Well Saigon was never really that big of a star to begin with. More people know him for playing a rapper on the HBO show Entourage ,than know him for actually kickin' rhymes as a real rapper. Along with being one of the most overrated lyricists in the game Saigon is also pretty insecure. Why jump ship when they push your album back a few times? Let the records connect or do something that will get the fans hype for your records so they do connect. Don’t just prove to more people at the majors that street rap is almost dead. Get on your horse and make some shit happen motherfucker! Shit man… Grow some balls and grind it out.

3. Kanye West Bitching @ the VMAs: Well we all know Kanye is a passionate individual, but they don’t base who performing at the VMAs based on talent… They base it on who will bring in the most ratings for MTV. Now considering Britney has probably sold more records than you’ll ever sell and she’s way more famous than you are… Why doesn’t she deserve to perform to open the show? Yeah she’s a sloppy trailer trash looking hoe bag, but our editors will still smash that and so would a lot of red blooded American men and women. So chill out Kanye… It’s not about who makes the best songs, it’s about who makes the most money for the suits.

4. NIGGER:  Now considering it is a free country and we have any and all rights to say what we please. Why is saying “Nigger” so bad? Is it as bad as murder? Misogyny? Drug abuse? Rape? These are all things some rappers claim to have done, but when they say, “I’ma murder a ‘nigga,” it’s like the worst thing in the world to these so called leaders we look up to. It was WWIII on a word that literally is a variation of the Spanish word for ‘black.’ And the so called “black leaders” (Reverend Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson) are all on Nigger’s dick like that shit is gonna make oil prices go down and the war end in Iraq. Shit… Seems like using the word nigga got a lot of niggas rich. So back off and let niggas be niggas and let’s get money and build the black community up off pride in our culture and our accomplishments and not keep buzzing about words like “nigger” when it ain’t such a big deal. Now we got Nas releasing an album called "Nigger." Good job Black America.

6. The Joe Budden/Ransom Beef: One of the more senseless beefs of 2007. Much props to Joey for taking this herb ass nigga out in the first round. Why is this dude (Ransom) mad? It’s well documented that Joey took you from nothing to semi-nothing back in 2003. Then you sign with Clue and get left sitting for 4 years. Come on man… Oh and let’s not forget you ain’t that sweet on the mic. We’re surprised you made those response records so quickly homie, but that last one with you screaming Joey a faggot for like 6 minutes was kind of weak willed and childish. The dumbest beef of 2007 by far….

7. 50 Cent saying he would retire if Kanye West out sold him: Well it’s no surprise a lot of people hate you 50  Cent, so why make such a bold statement and then take it back when all is said and done? That’s pretty bitch-ay of you 50... On the real we all know that Universal buy’s copies of records, but Kanye still would have beat you even if they didn’t buy 200,000 units on those regional store runs. The fact of the matter is you set yourself up for a lose, so live with it and bask in the knowledge that you’re still the #1 Hip Hop act in the world and Kanye can’t open the VMAs.

8. Fiascogate – Lupe Fiasco’s rants about a Tribe Called Quest: Talk about a lesson in media training. Lupe messed up and forgot some words to a song he never even listened to…. So what? Bloggers had a field day with it, but Lupe’s stupid self-absorbed ass took it to a galaxy far away by just saying he basically wasn’t influenced by the Tribe. What the fuck was he thinking? Both his albums sound like he straight sucked the lyrical cum straight from Q-Tip & Phife Dawgs dicks. Thank goodness Tip and Phife are way better rappers than Lupe or this shit could have been cause for debate. Regardless of what you listened to kid, the influence is there and if you're denying it, you're a fool. At the end of it all Lupe ended up suing The Vibe magazine for misquoting him about the situation and everyone let it burn so the media could jock Lupe’s new album.
