    You Ain’t Ready For Me

    Friday Dec 14 11:37 AM CST posted by xxl staff

    I must admit I was a lil salty when I saw some anonymous BET blog the other day that listed the top five writers in hip-hop. Of course, Bol and Eskay deserve their propers, as does the hardest working Korean in the game and Shaheem “Huggy Bear” at MTV. (Shit the first two are on the team and I’ve been trying the hire the other two for about five years. Real Talk magazine woulda bodied HHW, but I digress.) Anyway, the point is where was I on the list? Haven’t I been good to you? Who gave you everything you ever needed to know about the Big Homie’s AG comeback? Who broke the news of the 50/Kanye 9-11 showdown? Who hipped you to their RS cover? Who got the funky breaks? The rare audio? The witty unpredictable prose and natural game? Y’all ingrates stay sleeping on the kid.

    Let’s be clear: Just because I run a media empire doesn’t mean I can’t get down and dirty in the sandbox with the new generation. If a nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. I’ll be 37 in about 30 days but I’m about to be in the best shape of my life. I got my mind right, money been right, getting my teeth right and I’m on a mission to be diesel at 40. (No ‘roids included, Mr. Mitchell.)

    But I don’t get mad I put down on a pad (or a keyboard)—give you something that you never had. I hinted at it last summer but since no one has swagger jacked my idea I’m gonna do it, goddamnit! Winter begins and YN goes in: Next Sat Dec 22 12 noon til Sun Dec 23 12 noon. 24 blogs in 24 hours.

    I repeat in the memory of Mike Jones’ career: Winter begins and YN goes in: Next Sat Dec 22 12 noon til Sun Dec 23 12 noon. 24 blogs in 24 hours. The psycho Purple Hulk can rejoice. I’m adding another benchmark to my HOF career. Cancel Christmas! My fourth quarter release ain’t getting pushed back.

    Details to follow. In the meantime, digest. Who’s the best?

    I don’t want to sound like a cynical fucker and I’m certainly not trying to detract from your blogging skills (the AG interviews were awesome, the album itself not so), but I have a question.

    Are you planning to write 24 blogs in 24 hours or just post them? If it’s the latter, it’s no challenge - you could be tapping them shits out now (pause) and loading them on the day. If you’re actually planning to write each one during the hour before posting it, how do we know that? What’s stopping you from cheating us YN, just like those bastards at Scratch did with the Detox cover that time? (I hold a grudge like Sarah Michelle Gellar).

    And given that many of your blogs are audio drops, will all 24 be ‘proper’ blogs - ie. several paragraphs of copy? Damn, so many questions. At least you have my attention. Ha!

    >> YN goes in: Next Sat Dec 22 12 noon til Sun Dec 23 12 noon. 24 blogs in 24 hours.

    I was gonna ask when this was coming… but can’t you just prepare them in advance and queue them to drop in an orderly manner, especially considering the nature of your posts.

    are you going off the dome? like, just posting whatever you think of in that hour, or are you preparing your material

    are you gonna be in the comments like Billy X. Sunday to prove you’re really awake or are you gonna ghostride the post

    enough questions from me, good luck

I don’t know but like the homie Ghostface says whatever whatever whatever

    YN I got love for ya, but you don’t belong on that list. You post too sporadically. You’ll do you’ll 24 I’m sure, but then disappear for like a month (Cuz you gota “empire” to run, but disappear nonetheless) and come back nothing but breaks. Yeah I love the breaks and their all good, but it’s not like you actually get the pen game popping and say something about it. Majority of the posts where you do write play like the samples themselves; short but sweet.

    “The psycho Purple Hulk can rejoice.”
    ^^^Lol. Man, just about every blogger here has taken a shot at him on a post. I’m surprised YN actually took it there (He always seemed a cut above the ad hominem tactics a la Billy X), I guess you really are getting down in the dirt with this one. As for Hulk himself, I’m glad you called him what he really is: a psycho. But then again it’s amazing how many shoutouts hating can get you, word to Bol.

    Why would it matter if he wrote them in advance? Does Lil Wayne need to have recorded every song on his mixtape 5 minutes prior to the shit dropping? It’s called work. You put it in, then let it out for the world to experience.

    Er, Rolling Stone magazine maybe?

    News flash: Leaf falls from tree in Brooklyn; YN attempts to take credit for it.

    “i doubt that 10 outta those 24 are interesting”

    Haha, make that 10 more like ‘one’. Why on earth would anyone want to read 24 blogs by any one person in 24 hours anyway? Forget crack - the internet will rot your mind, make you delusional and do some really stupid shit.

    THE UNDERWRITER says:

    I almost wrote a effed up comment on here last night, after hitting the club, getting gloriously throwed and feeling extra e-gully… I chilled, and I’m glad, because that shit probably would have looked ridiculous today. Cat could’ve embarrased his young self…

    I think that’s one of the things YN needs to be careful about if he’s really going to do the 24 the right way. If these are going to be real written blogs, dude is going to start wilding the fuck out by the halfway point. I can see that shit coming a mile away.

    If they’re all in sequence, and you can tell he’s doing it in real time (YouTube), it’s gonna be interesting as hell, and I’m sure it’ll be funny.

    I think it could be a good idea. I’ll check for it.
