… or at least that’s what someone wants us to believe.  There’s a tumor… aka Twitter rumor, spreading that Baby has died.  We’re calling bullshit.  There are no statements from anyone that substantiate the rumor.  No major media outlets are reporting on it.

I’ll feel like an ass if he has passed, but I’m gonna say this anyway (you all knew I would):  He has an album coming out in 2 weeks.  He needs to give somebody in his camp a high five for starting this fabulous example of social network marketing.  They created a great buzz.  Just wondering how long they’ll let it linger.  My guess is until it hits national news.  If you guys are reading this, we applaud you.

The future Hall of Fame quarterback came out of retirement and wanted to either continue his career with Green Bay or be traded within the division. Neither happened, but he was traded to who? The New York Jets… The Packers came to a trade agreement late Wednesday night sending Favre to the Jets for a fourth round pick. Now before you jump out your seat wondering why Green Bay would give up a quarterback with the skill of Favre for a fourth round pick, there is a catch. NFL Network reports that if Favre takes 50% of the snaps with the Jets, then the fourth round pick becomes a third round pick. If he gets 70% and Jets make the playoffs, then the pick becomes a second round pick. If 80% of the snaps are taken by Brett and the Jets make it to the Super Bowl then the pick becomes a first round pick. The same odd face you are making right now is the same face we made. How do you give a Brett Favre for a chance at a good pick and you let Aaron Rogers run your team? If we remember correctly, the Packers went 13-2 just last season with Brett running the team. Hey we here at randomgosip.com are not NFL experts, but a dog with one and eye and no teeth that meows would have made a better decision than this one. All we can say is good luck to Brett in New York, and Green Bay we hope you know what you are doing cause we don’t.

Here is a video for all you Green Bay fans. Blame your team!!

A few weeks ago we told you about the feud between O.G triple O.G Ice T and Mr. Crank that Soulja Boy. If you didn’t catch it, Ice T came out and said that Soulja Boy was “single-handedly killing Hip-Hop”, and also added that Mr. Crank That should “eat a dick”. At the time we disagreed with the way Ice T came across, but after hearing what Soulja Boy told MTV we might have to rethink things.

Soulja Boy recently told MTV that he did not wanna improve his lyrical skills, he said:

“If I wanted to, [I could] go that route and be respected [not for] my success … respected [for] my music and my lyrics or whatever.”That’s why I did the mixtape that I did. I did a mixtape called ‘Teen of the South’ with Dj Scream. And I did that just to step my game up a little bit on that [lyrical] side. But I wasn’t really going into no album and just full-fledge trying to switch my swagger and try to get respect from the game.”

Soulja Boy seems to have a small chip on his shoulder. He followed that statement with adding:

“‘Cause why would I show love to the game? The game don’t show you love back. So I wasn’t gonna do that and come back out and mess up my image and mess up myself. I was going on the strength that I want respect from people who probably don’t like me anyway. So I’m gonna stick to what I do and stay being successful and I’ll do some mixtapes and some futures, something like that.”

Does he not realize that the “game” is what is putting food on his table every night. That’s like a rookie going into the league and saying that he isn’t gonna get better, that he is good and wants to keep his rookie image. If you a true artist like Jay Z, Bun B, Nas, or even the late great 2pac and Biggie, your fans will jam you anyway. We here at randomgossip.com have to agree with Ice T on one thing, and that is if what Soulja Boy feels is the way other young artists feel then Hip-Hop will die a slow painful death. Thank God that isn’t the case!
