Hashim, Bol, and Kris Ex - LHIOB

So many emails, so little time. I should be working on the blogger poll and the SOHH anniversary relaunch (10 years and counting...), but this old "beef" with Kris Ex is still all people want to holla at me about. So I'm gonna address the lingering issues here, then leave it alone.

1. To those indusrty cats who are emailing me details about Kris Ex's personal life and professional failures - shame on ya'll. Seriously. Not even Bol wants to deal with you dudes. And I don't do slander or report salacious rumors. I'm a hip-hop blogger, not a hip-hop journalist.

2. No I didn't create that page about Kris Ex, redirect the URL, or help with that press release. I had homeboy's URL and deleted it, hoping not to spark conflict, and because I'm benelovent and merciful. Bol picked it up, and hilarity ensued.

3. Yup, the "beef" is sqaushed. I punked out, afraid that Kris Ex might try to Stanley Crouch me. He already got aggy over my review of his 50 Cent book, and tossed homophobic slurs at me, which is Crouch's step 1 and 2. I'll still blog about his work with humor and intensity, but won't do or say anything personal towards him.

4. Hey, stop forwarding my private emails! Hey, stop relaying my private IM conversations! Be upfront about your relationships and motives. (I feel like Adiso when Fahiym was lurking in the background, unannounced).

5. I'm absolutely not salty about the slight in Vibe. Ok, yes I am.

Ok, that's it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some ballots to tabulate.

Well put. The old school is looking kind of high school at the moment.

In no. 4, that's Adisa not Adiso.

Adisa Banjoko to those who have slept.

Kris Ex interviewed Tribe some years back in our local UK hiphop rag Hiphop Connection. It was the most patronising write up I've ever read. Dude should be whipped for that alone.
