Skillz Drops 2012 Rap-Up

For those that don't know, Skillz is a veteran rapper in the game that releases a Rap Up track every year end. On the tracks, he speaks on all that happened in the music industry (and American entertainment industry in general) in that particular year. If you are really into hip hop music, you must have heard one of his yearly Rap Ups. Anyway, he just released the one for this year- 2012. You can check out some lyrics from it below-

"Common threw a shot at Drake but he ain't wanna catch it," Skillz raps. "Giants won the Super Bowl plus that whole corny madness, Linsanity had New York on fire like wasabi/And you couldn't go anywhere, without hearing about Blue Ivy/Congrats to Jay and B, for adding to they crew/I mean why was y'all so shocked, ain't that what married people do?/And I'm still in my hoody 'cause this violence ain't stopping/Hope we see justice for the young and Trayvon Martin" ("Rap Up 2012")

"Kim and Kanye, they had us all tripping/Mary J. Blige was out here singing for chicken," he rapped. "Drake met Chris Brown with a bottle in-between/D'Angelo came back, LeBron got that ring/Man shout-outs to D-Wade, but I ain't need to see, that Chris Bosh facial on national tv/We doubted it at first, but couldn't change that channel/We all got caught up, 'Love & Hip Hop ATL'" ("Rap Up 2012")

Skillz- "Thoughts Become Things" Tracklist

Most people might not know Skillz, but he has been on the Hip Hop scene since the 90s. He is one those rappers that never got that big break, but is dope still. He went on to ghost-write for a couple of rappers...JD, P.Diddy, Foxy Brown, and Will Smith are some rappers he has helped with his mean pen game. But, you might know him as that rapper that does the yearly rap-up; where, at the beginning of the year, he chronicles all what happened in Hip Hop the previous year. Anyway, he is dropping his 6th album, Thoughts Become Things on December 26th, and you can check out the tracklist below. I particularly like the depth of the title.

Osama Bin Laden Dead! Rappers Comment

Okay, i would like to be the first to drop a comment. I don't wish death on anybody, so i am not celebrating his death. All i can say is that it is good that he has been stopped, but i would also like to tell the millions of people that have been fooled; The American Government knew where he was all along, but he and bush have some things working out, and i guess their contact got expired, or Obama didn't want to be a part of it, and he ended the guys life. But, if you look at it, at this point, Obama needed something like this to get the support of the people, so that he can get re-elected.

But, the whole things is not over. After i watched the series of documentaries that show that Bush new about the Worl Trade Center Bombing, i have not been taking sides on any matter that concerns America and teh Arabs. What i would just say is that if you live them, live there country and oil alone, then there would be no problem in the firts place. But i guess America cannot do that, so....Whatever, read what rappers had to say.

Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama Bin Laden is dead, according to US media reports citing officials. The US is in possession of Bin Laden's body, the reports say. President Barack Obama is due to make a statement shortly. Mr Bin Laden is top of the US most wanted list. He is accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001. (BBC News)
