Pulse Report Awards 2006: The Game Is A Schizo, Weezy got balls, Foxy is crazy & more...
What it do? Check out DJ's Pulse Report Awards on SOHH.com
Friday - December 29, 2006 by Dick Johnson
As the year comes to a close, Dick Johnson brings you the Second Annual Pulse Report Awards. Big winners included The Game, who also lead with seven nominations, Jim Jones, Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent.
1. Headliner Of The Year Award-Presented by 50 Cent. This award was initially slated to be titled the MVB (Most Valuable Baller) Award, but how much is Jones really ballin? His jumper falls short in comparison to long range shooters like Diddy, Russell Simmons, Jay-Z and Damon Dash. But who cares? Jones is wacknificent! The man couldn't rap to save his scruffy ass, but we can't get enough of him. Though lyrically-challenged Jones had beaucoup quotables of his own this year. He called Tony Yayo an immigrant, mocked his dance, threatened to choke Sickamore in his building, challenged Tru Life to a boxing match and admitted that though he liked Nas' "Where Ya'll At," he'd still "slap the holy living shit out the nigga." Jones also penned "We Fly High," one of the most ballerific anthems in recent memory. His A Day In The Fast Life DVD also had heads asking for more.
Winner: Jim Jones Nominees: 50 Cent, The Game and Lil' Wayne
Winner: The Game Nominees: The Game, Chuck Taylor, Hurricane, J.T.
3. Balls Of Steel Award. Lil' Weasel walks a fine rope between nerve, delusion and subconscious idiocy. Talk of him kissing his surrogate father, Birdman only made him poke his chest further out. Instead of copping pleas, he revealed that he's previously kissed Juvenile and B.G., claimed that he was better than Jay-Z and then blasphemed that Juelz Santana is on his level. He also got a tattoo of Trina only to sever ties with her ass weeks later and sonned Gillie Da Kid. One of his songs even sparked a shooting, which may explain why his 5'5" ass swears he's so gangsta. Nonetheless, Weezy may not have that much nerve after all. He still has heads jocking his nonsensical flows.
Winner: Lil' Wayne Nominees:Young Jeezy, Jim Jones, The Game, Dick Johnson
Winner:Foxy BrownNominees:DMX, Jim Jones, The Game, and anybody who thinks The Clipse's Hell Hath No Fury is a classic
5. Video "Hoe" Of The Year Award. Now, now, now...before feelings get hurt, let it be known that we love all nominees in this category. But in all fairness, if women get dismissed as video hoes after two or three video appearances, the same should go for dudes. With that in mind, we owe retroactive nominations to Winky Wright, Zab Juda, Bishop DonMagic Juan and Jalen Rose. They don't make that many cameos anymore, but they should still be acknowledged for their body of work. Oops, let's not forget actor Michael Rappaport, who made a strong case for a Video "Hoe" Lifetime Achievement Award a few years back. But never has anyone showed video cameo consistency like the cast of "The Wire." In the past year alone, dudes appeared in videos for Ludacris' "Runaway Love," Common's "Testify," Monica's "Everytime The Beat Drop," Obie Trice's "Snitch" and Young Jeezy's "Bury Me A G" just to name a few. Now, can anyone name a chick that has been in more videos than them dudes?
Winner: The Cast of "The Wire" Nominees: Winky Wright, Zab Juda, Bishop Don Magic Juan, Jalen Rose
6. Chicks We'd Like To...Award- Presented by Kim Kardashian. For those of you who unfortunately do not know who Kim Kardashian is, you can thank SOHH's Dark Kent later. [Editor's Note: Google Is One Helluva Drug ] This full-time princess has previously been linked to Ray J, Diddy, The Game and is now apparently Nick Cannon's girlfriend. Anyhow, there are just too many deserving women to fairly pick a winner for this category. SOHH was fortunate enough to interview Vida Guerra-Johnson [Watch 60 Seconds With Vida Guerra] and Melyssa Ford [Watch 60 Seconds With Melyssa Ford]. We'll call it a draw.
Winners: Vida Guerra-Johnson, Melyssa Ford. Nominees: Elisha Cuthbert-Ashgar, Kim Kardashian-Chery Nia Long-Chery, Alyssa Milano-Chery, Paula Patton-Chery, Coco Cash, Kelly Ripa-Ginsberg, Vanessa Manillo, Selma Hayek-SOHH Goya,Jessica Alba-Kent, Lauren London-Kent, Rosario Dawson-Hall, Mos Def's new wifey, Melinda Williams, Every female host or news correspondent on BET, Miss USA 2006,Mayra Veronica, Somaya Reece,Reverend Run's daughters, Swizz Beatz's Wife, Hilary Banks, Laura Winslow, Six from "Blossom," Stacey Dash, Stacey's mom, Mya, that broad from "Smallville, Nicole Scherzinger, Scarlett Johanssen, Coral ("The Real World") Svetlana ("The Real World"), Oprah Winfrey, Meagan Good, Eva Mendes, Free, Jessica Simpson, Jessica White, Christina Millian, Sanaa Lathan, Beyonce, Toccara, Miss Info, Halle Berry, Eva Langoria, Bria Myles, Esther Baxter, Gabrielle Union, Cherri Dennis, Maia Campbell, Denise Richards, Egypt, and a bunch of publicists we won't name out of respect.
7. The Cry Baby Award- Presented by Kanye West. Being the G.O.A.T of cry babies, Mr. West has been exempt from this award and now sponsors it. The Louis Vutton Don almost made a comeback to this year's ceremony with his outburst at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November. However, this year's award is a three-way tie between Def Jam artists, and New York and Southern rappers. With Ghost leading the charge, New York rappers vowed to bring the city back early on this year. Ghost first took shots at D4L before turning the tables and exclaiming, "Fuck New York!" Meanwhile, the likes of Papoose and Tru Life made strides to lead the big apple's new generation as veterans wined that NY needed to be brought back. On the flip side, southern rappers took talks of bringing NY back as a backhanded insult. Field Mob first appeared to diss NY but cleared things up and then charged D4L and Dem Franchize Boyz with hip-hop's murder.
Elsewhere, The Roots, Method Man and LL Cool J were only a few of the IDJ signees to complain about President Carter's lack of promotion. L declared that Jay only did a good job of promoting himself while Meth vented that Jigga didn't give him the validation he gave Young Jeezy.
Winners: New York rappers, Southern rappers, Def Jam artists Nominees: Method Man, Kanye West
8. We Love Your Blog Award. Whether enjoyable or a strong source of information, the Pulse Report wants to give praise to some of its favorite blogs for the year. Kudos to SOHH NYC, and SOHH Soulful for a job well done... SOHH Left Coast, we see you. And the winner is...Young, Black & Fabulous. Make sure to also check out her SOHH blog, Ya Heard. After a recount, we found that SOHH's own Ronaldo Horacio Mexico tied YBF for the crown. Check out his hilarious video reviews on Talking Videos.
Winner: YBF, SOHH's Taling Videos Nominees: Bol's Saturday Night Workout, Nahright, Status Ain't Hood
9. Punching Bag Of The Year Award. Everyone from the aforementioned Def Jam artists, to Dipset and more recently his own fans, took shots at Hov this year. On another note, Oprah Winfrey became hip-hop's resident target and every wack emcee alive complained when Nas said hip-hop was dead.
Winner: Jay-Z Nominees: Oprah Winfrey, Nas and Southern rappers
10. Lifetime Achievement Award. 50 Cent. No brainer. Fif has the most appearances in Pulse Report history.
In parting, we hope you had a Merry Christmas, J-Nicks sucks and Happy New Year.
During "The Pimp Chronicles," Katt Williams, arguably the funniest man alive at the moment, said the following: "If you have 10 haters now, you need to figure out how to get 15 by the summer." Shoot, a nigga must be doing pretty good then. In the last few weeks, I've received my first negative messages and my first negative comment on myspace. Dudes is mad at a nigga for having strong opinions.Listen, mang. Common said it best. "If I don't like it, I don't like it, it don't mean that I'm hating." Just because I'm not praising your screen savers and wallpapers doesn't make me a hater. But for some of ya'll to tak the time to call me one, hmmmm. I wonder who is hating now?
But for you Dick heads and those who ain't feeling the kid, just know this. It just ain't that serious. Tell you what, when I get more negative comments than positive ones, I may consider switching up. In the meantime, SOHH is loving the kid. So any talk of me being bad for them is just a waste of your saliva. By the way, get ready. The DJ Co-Sign is back and should be upon you bastards soon. One thousand!
Yes motherfuckers, yes!! Your boy DJ has returned to SOHH.com's Pulse Report. My boy H.D. been a little busy grinding...not pushing music, this nigga be trying to hump on shorties on week nights, oversleeping from industry parties and shit. I kid, I kid. Do your thizzle though, Dottt. Do your thizzle. I've been ask to help out for now and it feels good to be back.
Dick Johnson's Co-Sign pt.3- Che Logan and Zakee of Pitch Black
I'm back, mang. I know it's been a minute, but I've been busy with other obligations of mine. Been helping my dude H.D. with a couple of H.D.TV interviews, but it ain't about his ass right now. Shiiiit, if I get my hands on that "Cannon" instrumental, none of you potential co-sign subjects will ever eat again. DJ got a motherfuckin' (Cannon, Cannon)/Not a kodak, motherfucka (Cannon, Cannon). But seriously, I've been meaning to include these two BK brothers in the co-sign for months. I'm speaking of Che Logan and Zakee. I'm tight...I even had the damn graph saved and now I can't find it.
But, in a nutshell, what attracted me to their music is that they walk a line so many trip on. When it comes to music, the terms "street" or "hood" are usually associated with gratuitous gunplay. Not here, these guys are poster children, for the average hood cats. Thinkers, yet far from push overs. Wanna set it off, then cool? Another thing that caught my ear is they bring forward that nostalgic feeling without appearing trapped in a time capsule. Judge it for yourselves. Peep "89 Swagger" on my front page and check them out at http://www.myspace.com/cheandzakee.
I'm gonna try and get this co-sign up and running on a more regular basis. So keep hitting me up if you got heat. Till next time.
You know how random dudes try to sell you their CDs for $2? Well, if you pass, you may miss out on the next big thing. So when artists ask you to peep their music, give them a chance. You'll probably be able to tell if it knocks or not within ten seconds. I've found a few good artists on myspace. Why, because I took the time to listen? Let it be known. I've also stumbled on my share of hot ca ca as well. Ain't nobody told me to watch my step though. Damn...that's foul.When dudes suck, just put them down gently. Like, maybe you should give up on dropping a single and focus on getting a bachelor. Wow, I'm nasty. Lol. Ya'll probably didn't peep the worldplay. Lucky for you malnutrion-ass rap birds, DJ ain't about to spit no 16. Well, maybe if my man G. Ginsberg finally stops fronting on lacing a banger.
But back to the topic at hand, when I heard MC Danny, I easily could have passed. As talented as dude is, the stage name didn't necessarily draw me to peep the link sent to me, but I did. Thank God I did. Homeboy is the truth. His third album, The Charm (yes third) is a concept album from top to bottom.While D Swain isn't the most cerebral emcee, his sense of humor and relatable appeal bring it home. Not to forget that the productionbangs. While most rappers boast and stake claims (we don't believe you, you need more people) Danny is totally comfortable poking fun at his own situations, which is what we need. Dude is just genuine. So peep Danny's music. www.myspace.com/mcdanny, you won't regret it. Peep Danny's "The Charm" in your boy's profile.
On another note, I'm still looking through artists pages for the co-sign. Sorry for the tardy second installment, but your boy is getting busy with other duties. Shouts to the boy Carl aka HDottt for filling in on my pulse report while I handle this B.I.
First off, I got a little assistance from my boy Carl on this one. Good looking out, kid. Also, your boy is going out of town real quick and won't be writing the next few issues of the Pulse. But I'll be right back. In the meantime, peep this week's edition.
Ghostface Says "Fuck NY," Prodigy Gets Locked Up, Jadakiss and Fat Joe Head To Paris, Russell Simmons Denys Top Model Affair
Friday - May 12, 2006 by Dick Johnson w/ additional reporting by Carl Chery
In this week's Pulse Report, the streets are buzzing about Ghostface saying, "fuck New York," Prodigy getting locked up, Jadakiss and Fat Joeselling out, and Russell Simmons denying his alleged top model affair.
1. Ghost says, "fuck New York." He may have thrown his share of darts at D4L's "Laffy Taffy," but ask Ghost and he'll blame the south's current dominance on New York's lack of solidarity. "New York lost the crown because the New York deejays gave the crown away for some fucking money," Ghost fumed to Prefix Magazine. "New York be bullshitting. Right now, I say fuck New York. Yeah, I'm from New York, but fuck New York. Because niggas is pussy. They is so quick to jump on the next man's dick and can't even deal with what they got in front of they face." The Wally champ added that the big apple got "soft" before taking it to the political side. "I knew New York was wack when they shot my man Amadou Diallo forty-one fucking times and ain't nobody stand up," Ghost explained. "But if that shit happen in L.A. somewhere, they would have went to bat for Amadou Diallo. It would have been hell. Stores getting burnt the fuck up. New York don't stand for nothing."
2. Prodigy gets locked. Word is P recently got bagged. Unfortunately for him it wasn't by some ill chick. G-Unit's DJ Whoo Kid recently revealed the incident on his G-Unit Radio show. Though the time and place were not revealed, apparently P was accosted by po-po the second he got to his truck. According to Whoo Kid the boys in blue didn't bother searching the vehicle. They simply asked P if he was the H.N.I.C. and then pulled him out of his whip to throw him in the squad car upon confirmation. Why did he get bagged? It seems like P had a warrant for failing to appear at a court date. Though details are still sketchy, P was eventually freed.
4. Russell denies top model affair. Russ recently denied spreading reports that he was dating former America's Next Top Model winner, Naima Mora. While accounts said Simmons and Mora got cosy at a Complex Magazine party, the mogul claims they have never met. SOHH.com spotted Mora at a T-Mobile and Samsung function earlier this week. Russ was nowhere to be seen. Simmons also dismissed reports that he wore red tights and white shorts while singing Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" to an unidentified woman in the Toronto, Canada airport, claiming he hasn't been in the T. Dot in years.
