Saw him at nye 8  in Columbus. He did like 3 songs and bounced. I remember wondering if that's all he has recorded so far.

blaze is black?

Yup, Blaze Ya Dead Black Homie was his OG name. He dropped the Black part years ago to fit in with the crowd.

 

As for Lex, I'll wait until I hear his full MNE debut album before I give my thoughts.

I figured everyone knew Blaze without paint is a whiteface makeup job...I guess its not so commonly known I hate to spoil it for anyone who thought he was white...

Before they were rappers Blaze (whose real name is Chris) was always called Chris, Ya Black Friend.

for fucks sake, your not funny. 

Why do you have to say his real name is Chris, in parenthesis, like we don't already fuckin know?

that's like saying Rob Tidwell (that fat guy) tells horrible jokes.

I always enjoyed green myself

Fucking Christ. 

I watched the new Blaze, ROC and Lex video. 

Then listened to Lex's other Magik Ninja tracks. 

Let's rhyme "shit" and "dick", once again. 

Let's use "motherfucker" to fill in any gaps.

Let's bring in ZERO originality to the table.

Let's not be interesting or talented enough to warrant another full sentence.

Let's - ..................

Word.
and on the topic of "Ninjas," you'd expect it to be about ninjas, but it's just named after the word that us juggalos refer to eachother as. The song itself is just about how cool Lex is. "One time if you outta your mind"...one time? one time what? do what one time? That's an incomplete thought, I don't know what the fuck he's saying. Is he referring to "get live in this motherfucker?...get wild in this motherfucker?" only once though, don't get live any more than one time.
Let's take a minute to see what words he rhymes in the first verse. Act, black, attack, stacks, cats, raps, attack, whack, back, ass crack?, ass waxed?, blast back, rat tat, back, thats that. Oh my god, so fucking technical! 

I also think this dude doesn't understand how gimmicks work, or he doesn't understand his own fucking gimmick. He's supposed to be this "hex master" right? Well, you'd never know from the songs he's released. Seems to me his name should be Lex the "I'm so fucking badass and so good at rapping, really guys trust me I drop bombs" Master.

Totally fucking agree. There's a metric shit ton of potential for the character, but so far it's been a complete letdown.

I guarantee that when his album drops all of his subject matter will consist of "I'm so awesome, anyone who doesn't like me is jealous." Just like the 2 songs they released of his already.
As anyone who has the slightest understanding of how musicians and music labels work knows, they release singles to give the audience an idea of what the artist/album will be like; this is what will either get people interested (if they like what they hear) or let people know "this isn't worth my money." The latter being my point of view.
So far, the sample we have from this guy is "I'm so good at rapping! I drop bombs! Haters are just jealous, kuz their music sucks!"
Anyone who says Lex's gimmick is not a blatant rip-off of Hoodoo is in complete denial, but luckily his music doesn't follow his gimmick at all, so.

Lex is dope.
