Da People's Champ
Spaide R.I.P.P.E.R, Da People's Champ Mix CD (http://www.spaideripper.com/). Spaide's manager, BoOo (don't ask), says that Corey Spinks plans to come out to "The Champ is Here" -- this album's first track -- at upcoming fights. Whether or not this is true, much of the disc has a rousing, "Eye of the Tiger" feel. Half of the album, and many of its best tracks, are freestyles. So while the beats on this "mix CD" aren't original, Spaide's talents definitely are.

My boy Toriano Porter has been bringing it with some hip-hop coverage in the dirty old Whirl. On a good week, when Tori is in the Whirl and Kevin Johnson at the Post isn't stuck covering some puffy-headed pop music, along with our Grapevine and Kim Hudson in the Argus, the scene is almost getting the coverage it deserves. But this week Tori let old Spaide R.I.P.P.E.R. make a little bit of a fool out of himself. Seems like Spaide got a spin in Memphis and that made him think St. Louis radio owes him free breakfast, lunch and dinner, with room service for all meals and a free bottle of Champagne, not to mention a foot massage and a chocolate mint under his pillow. "I'm getting spins here, but I need that all day, everyday type of love," Spaide told Toriano and Tori told us. "I need my [nasty word, but he meant "music"] programmed into the computer so when they're just letting that [same nasty word] play, my song is steady popping up." Come on, now, brother. Nobody owes you nothing. If the point is you got to pay to play on commercial radio, all D. Shante can say is, "No [nasty word], Sherlock!" But you ain't gonna whine and change it, so what's the point? And so what if you got played in Memphis, but not here. Ever think there's a whole lot more hot hip-hop happening here in the Lou? It should be harder to get played here than in Memphis. To tell ya the truth, though Spaide can spit and he gets some hot beats to spit to, he is nowhere near the front of the line for local talent, just in case commercial radio should open its airwaves tomorrow to who actually deserves the spins, not who has a radio advance man with some money and lapdances to throw around and buy his spins.
