A-Mafia Disses NYC?

Harlemite A-Mafia had some harsh criticism for the New York City hip hop scene. The rhymer says that hip hop's birthplace hasn't done anything to restore its place in the game over the last few years. He says that not being true to itself is what has killed rap in the Big Apple.

"Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak," Mafia told SOHH. "W-e-a-k. NYC is weak right now. Period. I don't care who I offend, man. You know why New York is weak right now? They're not doing what they want to do. They're doing what they're dictated to do and when you do stuff like that, it makes your craft weak. Listen man, [they need to] be [themselves] and represent the people that put them in the place they're at in the first place. A lot of these rappers, they neglect the people that put them in the position in the first place. That's when you lose. If the streets put you in position, it's all right to make big records and represent other places and other people, but you gotta always show love to the people that put you in position. You can never neglect the people that put you in position and a lot of these big rappers, that's what they do. They neglect the people that put them in position and then when they fall off, they try to always go back. The big rapper will always try to go back to the people that put them in position but it's too late. That's why I do this for the streets, man."

Lil Wayne has graced the cover of Rolling Stone for the umpteenth time and he's offering us intel on what went down while he served time in New York's Riker's island. Somehow this story involves Uno, prisoner taking the fall for his mistakes, and having serious beef with LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. 

“I’d bust a nigga’s ass at Uno, We gamble for phone time. I’d take nigga’s commissary: Lemme get them cookies, lemme get them chips, get that soup.”

Eventually his cellmates stopped inviting him to games. “They’d be like, ‘Oh, we thought you were asleep,’” Wayne says. “Like you can’t look inside my cell and see that I’m right there! We ain’t got no doors!”

When Wayne sat court-side at a recent Miami Heat/New Orleans Hornets game he was upset that Lebron James and Dwayne Wade never came over to talk to him. “Them niggas never speak to a nigga,” he says. “They don’t chuck me the deuce or nothing. Nigga spent all that money on them fucking tickets… Come holla at me. We sit right by them little bitch-ass niggas. At least come ask me why I’m not rooting for you.”
