Thats right its a brand new Plies video thats hit the net in the past day and I’ve got a look at it for you if you haven’t already seen it. You might not even know there was a new Plies video but I know that some of your are serious about the man. He’s lighting the south up right now and he’s asking the question ‘Who Hotter Than Me?’ So I’ll leave that up to you to tell me if anyone is hotter than Plies right now.

Whats up people Im about to drop a little remix track on you that’s got some of my boy Wes Fif. You know Im supporting him and he’s TrillSouth certified. So here’s a hot remix of the track ‘Speedin’ that Im sure you’ve already heard the regular song. Well Wes Fif hops on here and adds a little of his flavor to the track along with Rick Ross and Plies. I think you’re going to like what you hear, so check it out.

Yeah can you believe that, dude must be getting ready to push some serious weight. I wonder whats up with that and if this has been going on for a long time or just after dude came into some money. Either way it’s not going to reflect good on your boy Plies who raps about some serious shit. But at this moment he’s not implicated as being involved in any of this and Im not one to start or spread a rumor. Check out the story from the newswire.

The manager of rapper PILES has been arrested after police allegedly discovered a major stash of cocaine at his Florida home. Piles - real name David Lee Gay Jr. - was detained, along with several other associates, on Wednesday (12Dec07) after cops seized over 80 pounds (36 kilograms) of the drug from his property in Tampa, Florida. In addition to recovering the cocaine, police found a supply of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, a handgun and almost $8,000 (GBP4,000) in cash in the master bedroom of Pile’s residence, according AllHipHop.com. The tip-off came when Eleazar Gutierrez-Castillo, who is linked to the 35-year-old, was allegedly caught selling cocaine to an undercover detective. The rapper has been charged with possession of cocaine, racketeering, armed trafficking and several conspiracy charges. Piles is currently recording the follow-up to his debut album The Real Testament, which spawned the hit single Shawty featuring T-Pain.

So the people at XXL Magazine have throw together what they say is a next up list. The top 10 of rappers who are next up and most likely to blow up. Well it appears as though the top 10 features 5 from the south and can you guess who those are? Remember it’s next to blow up, not someone that has already blown up. So here are the 5 southern rappers that they chose to be in their Next Up Top 10.

Plies
Rich Boy
Lil Boosie
Gorilla Zoe
Young Dro

Now get this, those are in order from bottom to top, meaning that Gorilla Zoe is higher than Lil Boosie. I guess we’ve got another group that has fallen into more Bad Boy marketing hype because Gorilla Zoe is not that guy. He’s definitely not better than any of the 3 that are listed below him. I’ll share a little of what they said about Zoe if you continue to read inside, and then I’ll share more about the others in the coming day or so. Read more

Yeah it’s a new video for the internet from that Florida boy Plies. It’s the 100 Years video and I think you’re going to really like this one. Plies doesn’t hold back and this video is the real uncensored shit straight to the streets of the internet for you to enjoy. As you can see the album is out, the video makes sure that you know that, so if you like what you hear then go cop that shit because the man is grinding hard.

100 Years is a statement on the justice and court system and the fucked up state of justice in this country at various times. It’s rich vs poor in the system and if you’re on the lower end of the income bracket you’re likely to get railroaded and forced into a plea deal for something that you might not even have done, or worse do a big sentence because you can’t get a good defense. So listen to this real shit and let everyone know how you feel! And there couldnt be a better time to relate this to something like the Jena 6, so if you haven’t read about it, heard about it or seen it on TV then do a search on Google for Jena 6 right now and read up and listen to what your man Plies is saying in this video because it’s really going down!

Yeah Im back with more opinion in your face. This time it’s time to talk about what Im calling the ringtone rapper. Whats a ringtone rapper you might say? Well it’s a rapper that sells more ringtones than CD’s. Currently the number 1 ringtone rapper is your boy Soulja Boy with the Crank That ringtone topping billboards top Hot Ringmasters and on the chart for 6 weeks now.

So where did ringtone rappers come from? Well once upon a time ringtone rappers would have been what you call one hit wonders. That would be someone who sells a ton of singles, maybe gets a video on MTV and a lot of airplay on radio, only to fall off the face of the earth with their subsequent work. The ringtone rapper is much in the same except they really never sell a ton of CD’s they just sell alot of ringtones. Massive amounts of ringtones that you’re stuck hearing in places where you would never have to hear such shitty music otherwise. Places like the office, work, grocery store, or even worse maybe at a local restaurant by that asshole who can’t put their phone on vibrate while you’re trying to have a nice evening meal.

I asked the question today on SOHH Dirty and I’ll ask it here. Is your favorite ringtone by your favorite rapper, or is your favorite ringtone by a ringtone rapper? I can’t hate on anyone, these guys are just doing their thing, guys like Soulja Boy, Hurricane Chris and Plies are topping some of the hot ringtone charts at the moment. It remains to be seen if ringtone rapper success can lead to commercial CD selling success or if it’s just the modern day one hit wonder but much worse!

It’s true I’ve got a Texas bias and generally enjoy the Texas sound alot more than the rest of the south. You won’t hear me saying shit like “shawty” or snapping my fingers and dancing to some bullshit. UGK got that #1 spot on Billboard 200 and I’ll tell you at the same time Plies got the #2 spot and I admit I didnt say a word. So let me tell you Im not one to hate on any man for doing his thing and Plies is doing that so whether I enjoy the music or not Im going to give him a shout for selling some albums and getting that #2 spot which is an accomplishment in itself. He’s got a hot single that the ladies are loving and he’s going to be selling some albums for a minute if he keeps on his grind. But you can bet one thing even though I’ve got a Texas bias Im going to tell you what’s going on in the whole south!
