I just found this while surfing the web this morning. Man you have to check this out. Click the link at the bottom please. You will thank me later
Remember when you were a kid and your dad heard hip hop for the first time and was like, “They’re not even singing! Anyone can do this.” And then he’d do some freestyle to prove his point.

He would wrap his arms around his torso like Jam Master Jay. “There,” he’d say. “You see? How hard is it to rhyme words?”
And you were all, “No dad. It’s more than rhyming. It’s rhythm and cadence and lyrical nuance and streetwise bravado and a delicate ballet between street violence and aspirational fantasy. It’s as culturally relevant as the blues.”

Saw this movie The Proposal with the lady this weekend. There were a few Hip Hop references in the movie. The scene above had me bugging out so I posted.
Real quick break down. Waka’s mother was the manager of Gucci and Nicki Minaj. Recently both artist terminated their contracts with her. Since then the internet has been going crazy with rumors that Waka and Gucci weren’t tight anymore. So here it is from the woman herself.
I tell you this, if my manager cursed that much I would leave her too. Imagine you trying to get a gig to perform on Letterman or Leno and your manager calling up there like “what the F yo! Get my man’s and them up on there”
I need some professionalism on my team. IMS
This is some funny stuff.
