Chamillionaire Uses The Oldest Tactic For Internet Fame In The Book

Yes, Chamillionaire takes on the commenting/blogging hordes in the lead track from his new mixtape, Mixtape Messiah 4; he name-checks AllHipHop, SOHH, HipHopDX, and 17-year-olds who hate the way their mothers cook broccoli in the not-very-subtle "Internet Nerds' Revenge." I'm just sad he didn't get on Digg's case, since I'm sure all the kids who discovered him via "Weird Al" Yankovic would have risen to his bait straightaway. [YouTube]

Attn. Hip-Hop: "Eww Homosexuals Kissin'" Is Not A Good Rhetorical Strategy

Following yesterday's hip-hop congressional hearings, Chamillionaire has posted a long, heartfelt, and excessively convoluted stream-of-consciousness blog post for BET about the state of America/hip-hop, which I found myself occasionally nodding along with in agreement (despite also occasionally losing the thread of his argument[s]). Until I got to the following: More »

For those of you keeping score: MTV2 didn't cut the word "murder" from a 2-ish a.m. viewing of Chamillionaire's video for "Hip Hop Police"—despite its dropping the same word from "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance approximately 24 hours earlier. Can't someone over at 1515 Broadway give Gerard Way a break this month? [MTV2.com]

Chamillionaire Tries Out For A Spot On MSNBC's Midday Lineup

Chamillionaire's clip for "Hip-Hop Police" takes a serious subject—the idea that hip-hop is currently the No. 1 scapegoat for most of society's ills, particularly when it comes to the cable chat circuit—and gives it a pretty entertaining spin (Chamillionaire plays himself, a hearing-deficient police officer, and a staid white newscaster whose facial expression is permanently in tut-tut mode). And Slick Rick engages in a little bit of roleplaying as well, appearing as himself and a police officer who's confused about the whole eye patch thing. The "Hip-Hop Didn't Start The Fires That Are Blazing At The Moment" epilogue "Evening News" is also worth a look, although alas, it's Slick Rick cameo-free.

- Chamillionaire's long-delayed new album, tentatively titled Chamiddling, will finally be released in September. [Billboard]

Latest by AquaLung: Man, has this guy gone off the tracks. If Eminem once said he wanted to be the rap Marilyn Manson, this is ranking up there with Manson's recent desperate publicity stunts. He should have retired afterall. more »

Leak Of The Day: Jibbs Hangs Low, With About 23 Of His Friends

Thanks in no small part to the ever-growing number of hip-hop blogs and mixtape-torrent sites, some sort of overcrowded remix track surfaces every two hours or so, each one featuring a staggering number of guest spots. This take on Jibbs' "King Kong," for example, includes turns by Chamillionaire, Lil Wayne, Yo Gotti, Chingy, Lyle Lovett, IG-88, Ron Jaworski, two of the kids from The Family Circus, and the ghost of Millard Fillmore: More »

Leak Of The Day: Chamillionaire Gets Uptight N' Wordy

On "Not A Criminal," the first single from Chamillionaire's upcoming Ultimate Victory album, the "Ridin' Dirty" rapper takes shots at his record label, "magazine critics," and Osama Bin Laden. He even references Master P, which is so summer of 1998: More »
