Its a sign o’ the times when three rappers with no affiliation to one another conjure up the same feelings about these United States with tracks titled “Crazy World.” Word has it that The Game’s latest collabo with Lil’ Wayne was originally titled “Crazy World” as well, but “My Life” is all Weezy felt like crooning in the auto-tuner that day. Hailing from Pittsburgh, Virginia and Atlanta, GA respectively, let’s see how the madness in Boaz’s, Skillz, and Young Jeezy’s world stack up against each other.
Boaz – Crazy World Feat. Josh Everette
(From the album The Audiobiography)
Moment of clarity: Somewhere somebody get shot right now,somewhere somebody hit the block right now…
Afterthoughts
Pondering on the evil that’s occuring while you shift through life will drive a man insane, indeed.
(From the album The Million Dollar Backpack)
Moment of clarity: This country blowin’ up, the ga$ going up, the million man march, niggas ain’t showin’ up…
Afterthoughts
What’s more to say? That picture is probably making you sick enough.
(From the album The Recession)
Moment of clarity: Real G shit,but that’s really unheard of, when you get more time for sellin’ dope than murda…
Afterthoughts
With all the politrix behind the recycling of the drugs into the community for “police work,” that is by far some crazy shit that needs to be fixed ASAP.

welcome to my world.
Fuck that!
“Just think (just think… what?) What if you could just…. just blink yourself away?” (C) Black Thought
That’s got to be some straight photoshop right there yo. $3.52 for the cheap shit, then it jumps $1.50 to $4.99, then it jumps $2 to $6.99. Yeah right.
That’s what you get for fuckin’ with that Street Blaze.
Good Mornian Fellow TSS’ers!
Yes, this is a crazy world we live in, and you never know when you’re gonna go.
Life’s a bitch and then you die.
If you do, PLEASE, don’t let your final, dying wish be to have your corpse embalmed and displayed in your family’s living room next to the kitchen for 3 days.
& if you do, please request to be dressed in tasteful & classic attire.
Btw, gas is only, like, $3.55 a gallon here in Northern VA.
Yay.
Gas is actually dropping at rapid rates down here in Atlanta. The prices at the station by my house have dropped each of the last 5 days. $3.53 is high but it’s alot better than $4.15.
“Crazy World” is a dope joint by Jeezy. Dude is saying some real ish & that raspy voice really makes this joint work…
“Real G shit,but that’s really unheard of, when you get more time for sellin’ dope than murda…”
Real spit.
Alongside “Put On”, these two songs show Jeezy’s growth as an artist, but I’m still skeptical about “The Recession” as a whole. Guess we’ll see soon enough though. And Skillz killed his jawn too.
PS-Did Hov take a shot @ Jeezy on “Jockin’ Jay-Z”?
“Fuck talkin’ bout the recession, the shit’s depressing….”
I’m prolly just looking at a grain of salt under a microscope though.

RIHANNA: GOOD GIRL GONE BROKE!
August 18th, 2008
So the rumor that is making its way to all the bloggers today is that Rihanna is BROKE AS ALL HE*LL!
Rihanna’s now ex-business manager Patricia Willliams has been recently fired as she says “for no good reason, all in ignorance” and is “livid” with Rihanna & her management company Rebel One’s decision to fire her. Rihanna recently met with her ex-biz manager to check on her funds and was shocked to see that almost all her money was missing. Rih-Rih instantly accused Willliams of “stealing her money.”
It’s not my fault that she only has $20,000 to her name.”
She adds -
“I’m a professional Business Manager, I have a staff of more than a dozen, I have worked for many high profile actors, musicians and multi-million dollar corporations. Why would I steal from Rihanna?” She continues, “I showed her all the paperwork and tried to explain to her the circumstances but she wouldn’t listen. She called me all sorts of horrible names and stormed off. I now feel compelled to share with the world the background story as I will not allow my name to be slandered”The Barbados born singer has had four back-to-back albums, including a re-release since her debut of “Pon De Replay” in 2005.According to Willliams, Marc Jordan, manager and owner of Rebel One Management has been taking care of Rihanna’s financial situation with her.
“Def Jam doesn’t fund Rihanna properly, so Marc uses the money Rihanna makes from third-party endorsements and from tours to fund her album and music videos.” Since 2005, Rihanna has been sponsored by the likes of JC Penny, Samsung, Covergirl, Secret, Venus Breeze etc,. and has gone on two major tours, most recently label-mate Kanye West’s “Glow in the Dark” Tour and with Pussy Cat Dolls across Europe.”I don’t want to disrespect Marc’s name. He is a fantastic manager and genuinely believes in Rihanna. But he uses her money to fund her future projects because he believes he can break her in the world-market. Her album sales are not nearly as close to her single sales and he knows that if she is only known as a ‘singles artist’ she will only be as good as her last hit. Unfortunately, he didn’t inform his client and I’m receiving the brunt of it.”Why is Def Jam lacking in funding support for there act? Why was so much money spent? How much exactly? Williams continues,”Her record label Def Jam has put out 3 albums in a time span of 2 years.
Alot of that was orchestrated through her management Rebel One. It was never Def Jam’s intention to release so many albums back-to-back but Marc Jordan found loop holes and ways to make it happen.A lot of the money Rihanna made through her endorsements between CoverGirl Cosmetics, Samsung.. Notice that majority of Rihanna’s videos have a cell phone in it?”"After the release of Rihanna and Teairra Mari, Def Jam had intention to drop both acts because their album sales were not successful. Her manager fought to get [S.O.S (Rescue Me)] and quickly tried to negotiate with as many companies as possible. Nike picked up the song and funded a video. This brought the hype back for Rihanna in the company’s New York office. Majority of the official ‘S.O.S’ video was funded by Samsung because the record label was only willing to put up a small amount. Once ‘S.O.S’ picked up digitally and at radio, Def Jam agreed to fund the rest of her album. Jordan instantly got a video shot to ‘Unfaithful’ (he negotiated with video director Anthony Mandler to drop his price and would be given more videos from Rihanna in return). Then they shot ‘We Ride’ which was an extremely cheap video to create. ‘Break It Off’ was released as a third album, but again, Def Jam was unhappy with the sales of her album “A Girl Like Me” and refused to shoot a video.
At this point Rihanna was opening up for the Pussy Cat Doll’s in Europe. She was making 30,000 a show but she didn’t see any of that money because it was needed to fund her next album.” Which is now known to the greater public as a ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’.”The song “Umbrella” was found & Jordan fought again for Rihanna to have it. They shot the video, which CoverGirl funded half of, and the song became a success. When the record label had there meeting with Music Stores across the U.S to order her album for shipment, the number’s weren’t coming in the way that they expected. When the album’s first week numbers came in at less than 150,000, the label was shocked. Def Jam’s President LA Reid was livid! Umbrella was #1 for 11 weeks! Any other artist would have sold way more first week. T-Pain even did better in sales than her that week. Def Jam told Jordan they were no longer funding the album, so Jordan needed money again to pay for music videos ‘Shut Up & Drive’ and ‘Dont Stop The Music’. Almost 250,000 was spent to have those videos created. Plus, an additional 120,000 to shoot ‘Hate That I Love You’. Jordan was noticing that ‘Dont Stop The Music’ was picking up, so her persuaded the label to support it at radio in the U.S and the remaining singles, and they did.”"Then came for the repackaging of her album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, which is called ‘Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded’, that entire project was funded through Rihanna’s money.
‘Take A Bow’ was bought through her money, the video was created with her money and so is her most recent video and single ‘Disturbia’. The label didn’t even want to pay a dime for anything! Close to 750,000 was spent on those two songs alone. And now she expects to see money in her account?” Williams states that Jordan, her publicist from well-respected public relations firm 42-West, Alicia Silverman has built alot of hype around Rihanna’s name but the singer has only made “a little bit above a million” and “all of it was spent on making her as big as she is now.

Gas prices peak in July and early August. It was bound to go down anyway. What y’all up north need to be worried about is heating oil. That shit is going to be a bitch to pay…
Yo that must be a pic of Cali gas prices. All yall gettin happy that gas dropped to $3.50 and what not…..gas dropped to $3.93 out here! DROPPED TO $3.93!
Gas in Vegas is down to 3.50 as well
Still, theres no good reason gas should be anywhere near $3. They pound us with high prices so that we can feel good when they drop them a little.
Come to Toronto!!! Gas: $1.22 a litre.
^^thats still about the same price in gallons.
Damn, that sucks. Out gas in NE is going down BIG time. I get premium for the Lac… $3.45 a gallon by the crib.
heating oil bill last year – $129
heating oil bill this year – $379
^^ oil prices = a bitch
gas is more expensive than alcohol…moral of the story…drink, dont drive
lol @ raj
all them tracks fire
