But how many times has he been shot? And can he rhyme "biatch" with "biatch"?

So many directions to go with this....all bad.

That's a real shocker, some rapper claiming something to get street cred. Maybe he should look into politics...

Subby, stop plugging your blog. Just link it to the original Smoking Gun article next time.

So basically he's this guy.

That's OG Loc from GTA:SA, in case you have been living under a rock for the last few years.

I heard that he got in one little fight, his mom got scared, so she said "you're moving with your Auntie and Uncle in Bel Air."

 
SquirrelWithLargeNuts 2008-04-17 11:19:59 AM  
Why not just straight up link to the TSG article and not some jackasses' blog about it that doesn't say anything new or interesting?

 
davynelson 2008-04-17 11:22:05 AM  
Then they all biatch that people condemn the genre for glorifying crime.

AHM LUBBIN IT.

Oh man, there's goes his street cred. No one will buy his records anymore. (rolls eyes)

Pretending to have been a criminal for credibility? Wonderful role model. Probably exactly what the young disadvantaged youth of the ghettos need.

For those of you wondering who Akon is, he's the same guy who threw a kid off the stage during one of his concerts.

Not a RickRoll.

 
nopokerface [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 11:30:24 AM  
Good thing rap doesn't glamorize negative social behavior.

And simulated sex acts with a 14 year old girl on stage. Rather roughly.

I always liked that crazy biatch Catalina the best. She makes me laugh. OG Loc just annoys me.

So my question is how did he spend 3 months in jail with no conviction? Just curious?

Also the "Rap is Crap" thing FTW!

No, but I've been playing the Xbox game "Live Under A Rock."

BrianJLG: "Rap is crap."

hmmm, interesting, and i agree with the quote. but Duane died before rap existed, so, are you sure it wasn't Gregg that said that????

 
Jamrock 2008-04-17 11:50:32 AM  
Besides putting the word "Konvict" all over everything and getting famous with a song called "Locked Up", I never really thought he made it sound like he was such a crime boss. The implication is that he did time for a drug charge, and I guess he didn't. However, I gotta look at it this way: if he did commit some crimes he was never caught for... well he can't straight-up talk about it
