Instead of Z-Sharing my integrity away, today I invested a nice chunk of my paycheck into four of my favorite recording artists. $57.20, to be exact. The worst part of it all, I got laid off last Friday, putting my personal Accounts Receivable on hold for a hot one.
Hey, you can’t question my priorities.
DJ Drama – Gucci Mane And Yo Gotti – Definition Of A G
5050 Twin – Greatest Hits Volume 2
Luniz – Silver And Black
Botany Boyz – Forever Botany (Chopped And Screwed)
Smitty – Bigger Than Life
Mr. Serv-On – Life Insurance
Magic – On My Own
T-Pain – Epiphany
Z-Ro And Friends

Haystak definitely has his moments… car fulla whiteboys and crackaveli were solid. I copped H2L the other day. haven’t made it thru it yet. so far, so good…
Cube still sounds mean to me.
LOL @ droppin $57.20 on CDs when ur outta work…
ahh man, sorry to hear about you getting laid off, dude. that sucks.

Respect due & love for music most evident.

Backshots Obama Can Believe In
I was actually at some of the Haystack recordings. Dude made up that shit off the top. Most of it was freestyle. My homeboy produced almost all of his cds. They got a deal thru Def Jam and he fucked it up because he couldn’t produce a good single. I been knowing Stak since he was just Jason from down the road. LOL! I was in shock since I saw it on here with actual “GOOD” artists. I mean, to put his cd in the same line up as Game and Ice Cube (both of which are in my top 10 emcees list of all time) was just crazy! To think…I slept on dudes Arian Nation idea and he ended out next to my favorites in Hip Hop…Crazy!
damn theres a long list of jobless folk on here….add me…plus ima college student with a horrible music n sneaker addiction
Y’all muffukas need to get ya résumé game up. That’s what gets you in the door. After that – straight bullshittin’ gets you the job.
“I slept on dudes Arian Nation “? WTF?! you gotsta explain that one. i though stak was cool with people. he ain’t no undercover KKKer is he?
and i had such high hopes for my young white folks… damn!

Michelle got that Crossover Booty–brothas knew it was nice, but now everybody else catching on.
Michelle got that Mt. Everest Booty–it nice, but kinda high up there, so you need a reason to climb it.
Michelle got that Presidential Booty! Vote for it if you wanna see it do what it do!
by the way. I don’t know about Hilary or Elizabethh Edwards or Cindy McCain… But Michelle Obama gon’ whoop Barack’s ass if she ever catch him wit an intern.
And if it’s a white girl, Michelle gon’ be the first 1st first lady to ever throw a pot of grits on a president.

the homie just hipped me to Haystack’s mentality….
all i gotta say is WOOOOOOOOOOW.
1st of all, i’m not even a ‘stak fan, i never really “got” people who thought he was all that…but let’s not start jumpin to conclusions…some dude comes on here and starts spoutin off at the mouth about the man and all of a sudden it’s the truth? think, people…
but, just outta curiousity, what’d he say lol
i can vouch for dude, he isnt gonna say some shit unless its true.
so what’d he say…what’s haystak’s mentality?
I prefer to rapidshare my integrity away, hahaha. Dope pickups tho.

you need this album in your life. play it loud and kick your feet up.
Yeah, he’s really from my town (Lebanon, TN). He grew up down the road from me. He never was in the projects and shit. He used to kick it with the redneck cats that wore confederate flags and shit. He got started rapping more or less as a joke with shit like car full of WHITE boys. Then, he started blowing up locally along with another group called the TOP DOLLAR BOYZ (it might be spelled BOYS) I could give a fuck less. Anyway, the main dude from Top Dollar Boys got into a huge fight on the town square back in like 04. I was there and so was everybody on the local rap scene. My homeboy’s dude said something to Don (from TOP DOLLAR) and Don got pissed off and left. Then he came back like 20 minutes later and shot my dude B Ro. B Ro passed away and Don got locked up, breaking up the Top Dollar Boys. The cats all took their style and went their own ways to do solo acts. Haystack then started grindin hard because our local (Lebanon) scene was pretty much shut down. He moved to the Ville and started claiming that he was from there. Then, Stack got hooked up with my homeboy DJ DEV. He’s on my myspace if you wanna see what’s up. At the time, Dev was working with some cats at Street Flava Records (THE record company in the Ville). Dev helped to produce his cd called the Natural…He made the hit single called “Cool People”. Any way, The song made national radio play. The local stations blasted it out everywhere. There was no other competiton at the time in the Ville cause Buck was with UTP and no one was really doing what they was doing at the time. Well, Def Jam offered Stak a deal to Def jam South. He, of course, signed the deal. While he was there at Def Jam…None of the cats (including my homeboy DJ DEV) could produce a hit for Stak. They were under pressure to do so. Then, Scarface came down hard on haystak to actually produce a hit. When he failed to do so, Scarface pulled some strings and Stak was dropped from Def Jam. He then came back to our town to live with his grandparents. He dropped a cd very shortly after that and no one here would buy it. One record store here had it, but he never showed us any love so we didn’t show any back. As a matter of fact, them joints are still dusty as shit sitting on that rack (it’s kind of a joke around here). So, Stak decided to try something different. One of his homeboys put him up on the Arian nation shit. They decided to make a white supremecy rap group called the “CWB”. You didn’t have to have talent to be in CWB, the only qualification is that you have to be white…hence the name “Crazy White Boys”. The idea took off in a big way. They started getting shows nation wide. The cds took off and Haystak had his own HUGE movement. The concept is simple, a rap group full of white folks that rap about corn bread and chicken and whatever else these racist fucks could talk about. Anyway, they are still touring nationwide and still doing shows, but bet your bottom dollar that there are at least 98% white cats at the shows. Also, I’d be on the lookout for shaved heads and swasticas. I know dude personally. He knows who I am and he knows my whole family and where they live. he knows all my people that I fuck with and I know all of his. I am not just a hater, I am a first hand witness of this. There was a black dude who tried to get down with the group because he saw their upcoming success and they wouldn’t let him get down because of that. Dude tried to sue Stak for not aiding by the laws on equal opportunity (however that actually works out…I don’t know all of the details on it. i just heard it on the local radio show about a year ago). However, the dude couldn’t prove his case in court and the trial got threw out. Anyway, no one fucks with Stak in his own home town, so I’m not sure why anyone else would either. Again, i’m not being a hater, just being real.
P.S. to clarify, The Game and Ice Cube are in my top 10, not haystack. I do not own any of his material nor would I ever consider buying his material. My dude owns the rights to about 100 of his unreleased songs so I can get a free verse anytime I want…but that is never gonna be in my future.
P.S.S. Be on the lookout for a Haystak diss to Bubba Sparxx…I heard it in the Ville last week when I went to the studio. They were mixing the vocals to send out to be on the next Haystak mixtape. Bubba is supposed to be in the studio sometime next week to hear it himself. If I get to go, I’ll let you all know what happens from that (if it’s even relevant to you)…
Unauthorized biography of Haystak…Well, I didn’t mean to give you the long story…LOL! I can back up everything too…It’s the truth…
Wow… Tone Def going in hard on Stak Millie!
If this is true i’m gonna feel bummed. tho it’s hilarity–the concept of a racist white rapper–will always be funny long as i know who and where the culture started.
why would stak swing on Bubba? It’s not like Bubba’s on a major or has a movement threatening anything?
Would luv to read more about Stak.
Wow…
if the Homie Wit-E sez Tone Def is Reliable
then im a have to believe him..
so like Canseco said….
air the dude out….
cause he prolly mad @ Scarface
but should know where this culture started frum…
hip hop just seems to git sadder & sadder :(
p.s. any buddy catch the DNC today ???
i think Billary is coming back home..
she just gotta go hard @ McCain every where she go
Bubba got on a major before Stak. As you know, it’s hard to get in a major deal as a white rapper…Imagine the demographic of a white rapper from the south? An Eminem with no lyrical skill and no real topics to talk about. These dudes aren’t gangster. They don’t do drugs (except some good ass weed…yeah, I like it anyway), but other than that, what are they gonna talk about? Bubba took away Stak’s demographic, but Def Jam was banking on Bubba’s failure to break away for Stak. When Stak couldn’t come up with any other topics than what Bubba had already talked about, what the fuck can dude do? It would be like a less talented Eminem tryin to talk about poppin pills, hating his mother and killing his baby mama…I mean, I sure as fuck wouldn’t buy the cd. LOL! Stak got mad casue Bubba fucked up his chance to being the next big white rapper…Too bad…At least you can still depend on John Brown…right?
Hay Who?
interesting theory about Stak… there’s was cat in CHi i grew up near named EC-illa: white boy rhymed like Twista. fast, sorta thuggish. but didn’t have nothing to really rhyme about. he was hood but so what? there was no real angle beyond i’m a white boy in the hood and i’m tough. He could flow so he blew up local and a little throughout the midwest, but the notion of white kids being poor and gang-affiliated dopeheads just wasn’t crackin’ like that.
interesting stuff on tone def.
you guys think cube’s album is worth buying…i bought laugh now cry later…and i’m only gonna buy this one if its equal to that or better.

^ @ the fair up there last week ;)
Either way, I caught wind of similar shit about Stak really going way too far w/the race shit. One of the cats from his former circle spoke to me on it late last winter. I was kinda like “damn homie” b/c he did get a lot of love from the hood when he first popped up.
So staks racist but he does all these songs with black folks, wtf. Sounds a bit scar’d up to me. Draggin names with ya tone def. Staks got some decent shit out there, like the single hard 2 luv it really connects to me. But bitches will always be bitches.
I never said he was racist. I’ve heard others who I know were around him alot early on simply say that he had indeed “changed” & some of his thinking had switched, sorta coincides w/what Tone’s saying.
I wish you the best on finding a new gig…but damn…you gonna miss the 57 and change

When did Killer mike get ambushed?

Haystak, from Reloaded, off Crackaveli
—I don’t care what anyone says, dude is real. he spills his soul into his music, moreso than 95% of rappers, and is versatile like bo jax. plus, he’s got about 100 flows, consisting of nothing but deep and clever words.
and, yes, Natural is a bad cd. but to say Stak can’t make good singles is crazy…he just doesnt have the right push.
Prime examples…

You don’t have to like him, but you can’t hate on his music. Period.
He made those songs at the wrong time though (before or after the record deal)…and really, those songs aren’t really marketable to many people. At least that’s what Def Jam thought anyway…and I’d be willing to say that their opinions matter more than mine…since I’m still tryin to get them to sign me! LOL! I’m not saying dude can’t reach a certain audience or whatever, I’m just telling you the whole story and letting you decide what you want about dude. He also says shit like, “Hated by the brothers as if my bitch was black” (that shit really doesn’t fly with too many people). Plus, I know dude in real life…so I know how he really is. I just don’t have recordings of what he really says to show you…I wouldn’t waste my time trying to discredit a career that will never be anything more than what it is now (which i guess I’ve already done enough of)…
Anyway, dude gets no love in his home town. Any of his videos in the 615 are shot by himself. The latest one was shot at Cedarvine Manor (in Lebanon) and none of the local artists would show up for the video. It is also shot at one of the biggest rim shop in the Ville and no one would go there either. Kinda funny…
On another note, the dude who shot B Ro was Don (LEXX) in the group. Lexx is in the pen and is supposed to get back out in less than two years. Bobby went on to do a solo career and still has a studio in Antioch, the last time I checked…Mario Moore got hooked up with Coop DeVille and started working on his own cds. He got a scholarship to play basketball at Vanderbilt and graduated with a degree in education. He’s teaching at Antioch High School and still does music with Coop.
nah man u paid for that killer nine album!?? did u not listen to it first?? thats worse than gettin laid off
Beware:
Damn, fucked up bout ur job. I’ve been there. Spending money on cd’s when u layed off. I had always been a Tues guy @ the store; pfft that shit lasted bout 2 months after I lost my shit in Dec 01. In my case, I took a 1/2 paycut in July 02. Priorities though dog, real talk, fuck the 1st wk “vote”. Grab that shit off the net, u got personal finance issues at the moment. And to everybody just saying to step up ur resume and BS ur way through, if u haven’t noticed there’s a big economic slowdown right now and it is hard to get a job right now unless ur in a really specialized field. They’re flooded with applicants, giving (more) multiple interviews and paying less; that is if they are hiring in the first place. Jobs are not giving raises and adding responsibilties/more work. So much is going overseas at the same time. The wealth is not tricklin’ down; u’d think they would have learned from Reagan. Look at the financial/economic situation today?! Economically: Look @ Reagan; Look @ Clinton; Look @ Bush.. Hmm and a certain canidate wants to continue the guard with these “trickle down tactics”? The wealthy don’t have enough? Shit ain’t workin. Pfft, dunno bout u, gas & food for a family of 5 is alot, alot more than it was last yr or the yr before on and on. My standard of living has definately dropped in the past 8yrs. A change of guard is needed. (Sorry, got off target, but a similar thing happened after 9/11 when I had my personal experience).
Anyway, thats fucked up bout Haystak. I’ve felt a track here & there from dude. He had always been OK with me, not great, not trash. Its unfortunate. Also, a diss track to Bubba (why, who?) is weird since he was on the Crazy White Boys album. But I don’t understand the references to “Arian Nation” as I’ve never heard/noticed anything really racial in his music even the CWB release (which comes off as the premise of this whole topic and was really irrelevant in every way as an album, to him and just generally; he’s had so much before and after). I dunno, something doesn’t seem right. Tone Def seems to have some inside insight, but still I take with a grain of salt. Always 2-Sides..
SOME OF YOU LYING MOTHER FUCKERS ARE PATHETIC
