Did Rap Murder the Hip Hop Movement?

Everyone assumes that hot beats makes up for soft, weak, and/or straight bullshit lyrics. They are sadly mistaken. This only furthers the opinion that rap is hip hop’s downfall. ‘Real Hip Hop’ is a term used in the Industry by those who grew up with or have a strong love for the music

New Bootlegged Grading

Movies & Music have gotten so bad and redundant that we're adding grades and it won't be pretty. Let's not get things confused as grades are not always reflective of blades. All reviews will have these grades so things will get interesting. Here's a quick rundown of what the grades will be.

A is for Awesome. If the movie is on point it will get the top grade. From what we've seen so far most films & albums will never see this.

B is for Beware of a potentially bad film or album. Some of these type films & albums are becoming novelties and some have become classics. Regardless, the Suck-Ass Level can go either way.

C is for Crazy or Crappy that this film/album got made. For those films/albums that weren't B material they get the C stamp. These films are so horrible that even the actors/artists don't believe the scripts they read or the lyrics they sing.

WTF is for What The Fuck were you thinking? This is for the worst films/albums ever made, the shock that they were made, and the shock that someone asked for money from viewers/listeners. It's the grade that will be used when even the reviewer is questioning their own sanity for viewing the Crap Fest on Screen or burned to a disc.

These grades could get switched around without notice. You may even be shocked by some of the grades handed out or perhaps you'll totally agree. Either way, here goes!

About Us Bootleggers…

Support GOOD Entertainment.

Here we try to speak on what's being dumped into, what we call, the Whirlpool Of Shame (W.O.S.) otherwise known as the Entertainment Industry. This goes for all types of media no matter what!

Named W.O.S. because no matter how talentless one truly is, there's someone out there willing to give up money to listen or watch one complete their journey to Foolishness... They are even willing to conduct interviews on Broken Boulevard & Behind the Music to help get the rest of us to believe the lies they told you.

The Bootlegger's Chronicles does NOT condone nor condemn the art of ~~bootlegging~~ Street Vending or "piracy" as the W.O.S. would like to call it. We do NOT MAKE the creations simply review them.

Support GOOD Entertainment.

  Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.

  It's February 2011 and the Grammys has turned its ugly head once again. Will the Grammys be good or another shit fest? After looking at that long ass list, over 80 damn categories, my money is on the already high-profiled artists to walk away with the tainted statues. Talented artists will be looked over for another year as the WOS continues to bullshit America into thinking that talented artists

  2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
