Wayne has become legendary in the game no matter your thoughts of him. The Louisiana born Cash Money Exec has become an element that the hip hop game has either despised or adored. No in between with this guy and apparently “No Ceilings”. Hustlenomics doesn’t discriminate on a hustlers route of choice if he/she does it with class and in their own way. With this said we must take notice that the empire Weezy built is like no other. Enjoy the two tracks I’ve provided below. Remember, Dons/Divas don’t hate the player we intentionally improve the game. Hustle On!

In a recent interview with rollingout.com, Rick Ross’ group Triple C’s, also known as Carol City Cartel, called out KRS-One and whether or not Hip Hop is dead.
Torch, one third of the Florida based group stated “You notice it’s the people that always say ‘Hip Hop is dead,’ that ain’t got no [money].”
“To top it all off, it’s like, Hip Hop is dead but when they had their run, the same people that say these things, they be in pictures with AK’s, they forget all that now. You need your track record, do your homework and the same record that people are pointing their fingers, you gotta realize, every time you point your finger, the other four are pointing right back at you,” he added.
While Torch was explaining this during the interview, Gunplay interrupted, calling out KRS-One’s most esteemed album. “Criminal Minded,” he laughed while sarcastically coughing.
“You gotta understand what’s going on. So at the end of the day, I ain’t with the finger pointing and the other four pointing back at you, but at the end of the day, music is music. You stay in your genre of music,” Torch continued.
Earlier this year, KRS-One targeted Triple C’s label for the destruction of Hip Hop music. “Def Jam is the dopest label in Hip Hop, in the culture of Hip Hop,” he explained in an interview with XXL. “There really would be no Hip Hop as we know it today if it wasn’t for Def Jam. But you don’t get that respect without also being the label that single-handedly destroyed Hip Hop… Every time you think of what’s wrong with Hip Hop, the lyrics, the commercialized music, one artist being played on the radio all day, things like that, that’s all Def Jam,” he asserted.
Triple C’s released their first studio album, titled Custom Cars & Cycles earlier this year on Maybach Music Group/Def Jam. The fifteen track album features appearance by Gucci Mane, Bun B, Game, Birdman and more. Custom Cars & Cycles sold 12,100 units in the opening week
The story of the Pink Elephant is mythical, yet true. How drunk are you? Well the intoxicating sounds of N’Dambi captured me back around 2005 or 2006 can’t be too sure, however the sound was all of that and more. Well her new album Pink Elephant is on shelves now. Support your local independent retailers.
All I have to say is FIYA! Sa Ra does it and does it well. This intergalactic trio brings hip hop, neo soul, and some other shit to the top tier of music excellence. When I first heard about this group a few years back I knew why I was in the business. Check out the video below and give Sa Ra a holler next time you cop an album. They will not disappoint.

I remember the days of lyrical hip hop. A day when the lyrical content and wordplay was the meat of the music. Today we have evolved into the era of catchy hooks (chorus lines) and autotunes (see my blog on Jay Z’s new DOA). Now I dig the whole Common, “I Used To Luh HuH” bit, so this chick called hip hop is a passion for me. We used to kick it waaaaayyyy back with Motown’s Trendz of Culture and groups like Tribe Called Quest. When Hip Hop was Hip Hop and music was becoming what we see to day. Red and Meth, The Funk Doc Spock and Johnny Blaze! big ups to you. I’m gonna keep bumpin’ the young kids to show my support for the evolution of music, but I will always hold high the roads and highways paved by the geniouses we know like yourselves, Busta, Snoop, and Cube. Keep Hip Hop alive. We caught em on VLAD TV.
