In the Ears - Joe Budden - Halfway House

As most fans were, i was pissed when "Padded Room" got pushed back until Feb 09. As consolation, Budden just released "Halfway House" which is the mixtape/ep thats the prequal to his official sophmore album. Blogspot doesnt pay me for album reviews so ima just advise hip hop heads to cop this. Download.. or whatever. Its only 12 tracks.. Still worth a listen.

B.e.T Hip Hop Awards - Yorkie Reaction

Im not gunna get into the north /south hype.. im from Harlem.. Relocated to florida in no biased

1. T-pain wasnt that bad for a last minute guest but.. lets not have that again

2. I love nas but his stage show is only good as the crowd.(i seen him live.. it was dope) and i thought he was gunna do "queens get the money" like Green Lantern Said.. so i was dissapointed in that.

3. Fab said on hot 97 a little while ago he is mad n.y isnt represented on these awards and hes right.. 50 coulda performed he gotta new single. even jada.. busta woulda ripped it.. but no, they put Bow wow and Soulja Boy to perform.. on a single thats came. went. and flopped(sorry fellas).



I understand Since its in Atlanta they wanna show the hometown love.. but this has been going on for years..



4. That being said, they did Ace Hood wrong by puttin im up w/ the big dogs.

5. Wtf is up with shawty lo winning the new artist award when flo rida def. had the 3 bigger singles.. like i said.. a biased.


All in all It wasnt great but now that The Source awards are.. well idk.. and The Ozone Awards are The Southzone awards... Ill take this is compensation..

question: where was lupe?

Now hopefully im on there next year lol..

Yorkie Out.
