Last week the beat heist pool shrunk to such a low level that the only freestyles I had to chose from were Snoop’s own remixes of his own song that had already been rapped over by everyone who owns a mic, and some who shouldn’t. So instead, I chose to prattle on about all the Hip-Hop knuckle heads that were out and about making the world a shittier place instead of spending some time in the booth (which would have probably made the FM dial a shittier place). Then I realized there are usually more rap shenanigans floating around the net on a weekly basis than freestyles, so why not keep the party going?

So Planet Ill introduces to you, the loyal citizens, Out Of Pocket, a weekly spread about the things that people in this industry do, say, and create that take the world a step closer to total intellectual obliteration. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic.  However, you have to wonder how we made it this far considering some of the people in control around here. So sit back and get your W, your T, and your F ready because we’re going in.-shelz.

Was He In The Club Getting Tipsy?

Gracie Production CEO Tony Bucher released a statement on Tuesday claiming one of his artists JKwon had been missing for a month and they were starting to become concerned about him.  The label even set up a twitter account for people to tweet JKwon sightings instead of calling the police and of course mentioned JKwon had a new album coming out in between desperate pleas to locate him.. ummm… via twitter.  Of course this made me think about this…

I mean add some braids and remove the pink rabbit and it could be him.  Or maybe he’s with her?

Or him?

Well I’m not sure where he was. I’m not sure if anyone told us.  He was found not long after the word was put out that he was on the lamb from his label and was back to tweeting just in time for follow Friday.

CTE vs Gucci’s Baggage Handlers

Well, I don’t know if Guccis people have a cool group name like Jeezys or not, but I do know that this modern West Side Story ish is for the birds, especially if you happen to be around when the Sharks and the Jets get to rumbling.  Im sure you have already heard that the crews came to blows in a clothing store here in Atlanta and when all the smoke (and gun powder) cleared, Wacka Flocka had a black eye and his security guy was detained for discharging his weapon.  I’m thinking instead of putting bystanders at risk why not just duke it out Spartan style.  No guns allowed just clubs and rocks.  They could rent out the dome, charge for admission and wear those cute little metal skirts like they did in 300.

Nicki Minaj Is NOT About Sex. Apparently.

The following is a quote from Nicki Minaj’s upcoming Fader Mag spread/interview.

I don’t know where I fit in the spectrum of rap yet, I think now I’m kind of proving myself, but before, people thought of I was more of a sex symbol or wannabe sex symbol. Now they’re seeing. That’s why I make the goofiest faces, I don’t want people to think I’m up here trying to be cute. I’m trying to entertain, and entertaining is more than exuding sex appeal. I don’t think that’s fun. I don’t find it fun watching someone trying to be sexy. It’s wack.

To the above statement, we calmly reply…

DON’T FEED THE BEARS. EVER

The following has nothing to do with rappers, people related to rappers, or perhaps even people that listen to rappers. It does however have everything to do with being out of pocket. Only now they may not be able to retreive things from their pockets. Perhaps if they had a pic-a-nic basket…
