xpizzle’s bitch slap
Hip hop I love you but step out of line and I will beat that ass.
Two words can sum up who needs to be slapped down to size this time; Theodore Unit. Why is it that rappers will always put there clearly talentless ‘homies’ on their tracks, leading to useless A & R’s signing them to their own deals and their music, that term is used loosely, pollutes the ears of us the poor listening public. Another word to some it up; Bravehearts. I don’t care that once when Nas was 12 you gave him an extra quarter so he could buy some chewing gum to go with his Schnapple, that doesn’t make you a rapper, shit that doesn’t make you anything except maybe a loan shark. There needs to be some form of code or twelve point plan established so we never have another Wu-Tang syndrome, where a crew already reaching double figures, has each crew member’s own crew getting a deal, then the crews of those crew members getting a deal, I point again to the first line; Theodore FUCKING Unit. If you want to be honourable and look after your boys buy them a weekly ounce of weed, a case of beer and throw them your groupie rejects like Michelle with the limp, just keep them off my radio.
Rapper’s crews, you’ve just been pimp slapped.

Q: What were you trying to achieve with None Shall Pass?
A: I was trying to challenge myself. I knew I wanted to make songs that were less about me and more about tell stories. I didn’t really feel that I needed to write any of that obligatory, competitive rap. I felt like I had done that. I don’t feel like I’m in a competition with anybody because I don’t really care what other people are doing all that much.
Once you knock out the aspect of competition or complication in rap music you’re left with a pool of other ideas that nobody has ever touched. I tried to sort of pick ideas and write songs that I hadn’t heard anyone write about, you know topics and subject matter all the way down to the way you’re presenting the topic and style, you know making a world, even with the artwork, everything that’s tied into the album.
I don’t want the album to be yelling at you when you put it on, I want you to be able to get lost in it and find that there’s a little story and you can follow it.
