Drake Says There Will Be More Collabos With Jay-Z

Chozen — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:55:05 +0000

We got to work a couple nights, actually, we did a few joints and from what I hear we’re going back in to try and get some more stuff done.
Jay has been one of the most special people to me in this game. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the nights me and Jay had in the studio, and the things he’ll tell me and just the way he embraced me. It’s one of the best feelings in my life. Jay is one of those guys that you can say, ‘I look up to this guy,’ or ‘I like this guy’s music.’ I wanted to be Jay. That’s what they say about the best artists. To be a great rapper, men gotta wanna be you and women gotta wanna … you know.
I wanna be myself, but for me to say, ‘If I couldn’t be me, I wanted to be that man’ — that’s huge. … To have that man in my life and to be able to interact with him and talk to him and, best of all, work with him — there’s not a real sentence I can say to describe it. Hopefully Jay and Drake are as powerful as Drake and Wayne. I hope people see that union and it comes up more than once in the future.

50 Cent Says We Are Too Focused on The Numbers (Wow!)

Omar West — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:07:24 +0000

What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is dwindling away. I’d like to be a representation of that, because there isn’t much of that left. I think people are so conscious of the numbers they’re not being creative anymore.
Source: Billboard

You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me, really 50? I distinctly remember you saying that it was all about the numbers a couple years ago, saying that you might not be the best rapper but your selling the most records what happened to that? I guess you have a different perspective when your not moving 10 million units anymore huh?

If anything your mostly responsible for people for people paying so much attention to the numbers…..

Fake Drake Album Sold On iTunes, Lawsuit Planned Against Label

Chozen — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 13:29:46 +0000

Drake is such a hot artist that one of his albums is selling even though he didn’t release it.
An unauthorized album, “The Girls Love Drake,” which features selections from the Toronto rapper’s mixtape “So Far Gone” and other tracks, was released May 28th by a label called Canadian Money Entertainment and distributed by the Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA) on iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon.
Drake’s camp, which is still trying to clear the samples on “So Far Gone” and his two other mixtapes in hopes of selling them in stores, says it didn’t authorize the release.
If it hadn’t been disqualified on the grounds that it wasn’t confirmed as being an official album, “The Girls Love Drake” would have debuted this week at No. 101 on the Billboard 200, No. 16 on the Digital Albums chart and No. 1 on the Heatseekers tally. “Best I Ever Had” and “Every Girl” (credited to Young Money), two tracks on the mixtape that have previously charted, appear on this week’s Hot Digital Songs chart thanks to downloads of “The Girls Love Drake.” Additionally, “Best I Ever Had” jumps 60-18 on the Billboard 200, while “Every Girl” leaps 75-35, although chart experts predict they will both drop again once the unofficial album is no longer available.

Damn you know you on fire when cats start making fake albums before you can even make a debut, Bootlegin 2.0.

Jay-Z In Talks For A Deal With Warner?

Omar West — Thu, 28 May 2009 19:07:25 +0000

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Jay-Z was on his way to bringing his Roc Nation label, an imprint he created as part of his rumored $150 million deal with concert promoter Live Nation, to Warner Music Group. Now the New York’s Daily News has learned more about the possible partnership, this time involving an alleged separate label for Hov.

According to the Daily News’ gossip section, Gatecrasher, Jay has been meeting with former Def Jam associates turned Warner vice president and executive vice president respectively, Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles, about possibly heading his own Carter Music Group on Warner.

“Jay knows Lyor and Kevin from back when they all worked together at Def Jam, and he obviously wants to work something out with his friends,” an inside source told the Daily News. “He wants to get the dream team back together. There have been a few whiffs of a reunion in the past, but only now – and very privately – is something finally starting to happen.”

The source adds that Cohen and Liles tried to get Jay to bring Roc Nation to WMG as well but he has instead decided to release his upcoming album The Blueprint 3 on Live Nation. Jigga recently reportedly bought out his contract from Def Jam for $5 million.

As of press time neither WMG, Jay-Z, or Live Nation have released any statements about the alleged negotiations. – Elan Mancini

Charles Hamilton Gets His Jaw Rocked By A Girl!!!

Omar West — Sat, 23 May 2009 12:05:01 +0000

This feels like it will be one of those legendary posts, I sat here for like 2 minutes just watching that image over and over. Dying with laughter, this is what you call a career ended, well not really but it sure doesn’t look good on his rap resume. LMAO did you see the sonic rings get knocked out of him in the picture…..ha ha ha this made my Saturday morning. I’m gonna let this one sit on the front page for a while.

The name of the girl that laid the hand of god on Charles is Briana Latrise who just so happens to be Mary J. Blige’s stepdaughter and is suppose to be Charles Hamilton’s assitent, below is a video of the battle led to the punch. It turns out that Charles was tapping it at one point and she got pregnant and had an abortion or something to that effect, which Charles decides to freestyle about, what a fool. Punch deserved.

Briana Latrise interview with DDotOmen

We started dating and it kinda progressed. I ended up moving to NY, I moved in with him. I started working with him, marketing plans and stuff like that to show him what I was capable of doing. (1:00)
I was really trying not to hit him, I was trying so hard. He just had that cocky look I can’t stand. (3:18)
I’m still helping Charles with his career. That’s the craziest shit about our relationship, I decked him last night but we had breakfast this morning. (7:17)
I felt bad, I felt like the bitch. Like I was wrong for decking him. (7:37)

Drake Speaks On His Upcoming Album and The Rihanna Make Out Rumors

Omar West — Sat, 23 May 2009 10:46:15 +0000

“I have a lot to prove – to myself and people, period. I released this mixtape and it’s kinda like: ‘Now you really have to release an album. That’s what artist’s do.’ “Can excitement last from May or June all the way till the end of this year? ’Cause that’s when the album’s going to come out,” he says. “How do I maintain that excitement?”
Full Interview: Much Music

See this is the problem with labels, they are always dragging there asses and I have no idea what having a buzz is and how it’s maintained. Buzz is something when you loose it you rarely get it back. Were going to need a So Far Gone part 2 if the album is dropping next year.

Drake hits up Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds to clear up the Rihanna make out rumors.

[See post to listen to audio]

Video where he says, “Shoutout to Rihanna. I love you, baby”.

What do y’all think? sounds like he’s hiding something , and what are your thoughts on him droping his album next year, Do we need a So Far Gone Part 2 until then?

Rihanna and Drake Spotted Making Out

Omar West — Wed, 20 May 2009 18:26:44 +0000

If rumors are to be believed, Rihanna has officially moved on from Chris Brown. The “Disturbia” singer was reportedly spotted making out with rising star Drake on Monday night.

According to the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six, RiRi showed up with a group of friends at Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge in New York City. Witnesses claim to have seen her kissing 22-year-old rapper-singer Drake. “She was drinking whiskey and apple juice and making out with him all night,” says a spy. “They were really cute together.” She left with Drake around midnight.

Ha ha, that is hilarious, that would be so gangsta if that turns out to be true, I wonder if that’s why Drizzy decided to spit over the Take You Down beat? Maybe I’m just reaching with that one.

Nick Cannon Disses Eminem and Calls Him Slim Lamey

Chozen — Tue, 19 May 2009 10:42:31 +0000

So as I continued to semi enjoy Marshall’s rhyme scheme and flow, I mean let’s be honest dude used to be incredible. He was a witty lyrist with dope delivery and timing. Some even say, one of the best to ever do it. I had nothing but respect for this dude. But all of a sudden I hear my name in the verse! My first reaction was like, “This is his new shit??? Wow, that’s too bad…” Then I felt sorry for him because he must really be stuck in the past. Not only has his music not evolved, but also homeboy is still obsessed with my wife, the same female that wouldn’t let him get to second base from 8 years ago! He even describes his desperate lameness in this bad excuse for storytelling track. That’s some real middle school shit right there! (What type of grown ass man lies about getting with a chick) Only Slim Lamey! LOL!
Even though most people don’t know that I’m nice in the ring and have been training in boxing and Martial Arts for years that would just be childish and silly of me to bully this dude. He clearly has been picked on all his life and I would hate to add to his deep-rooted pain. As we all know he has had a hard life and has major insecurity issues and is very confused and unhappy with himself. So a guy like that doesn’t really need another ass whoopin, he needs a hug. We should really pray for his troubled heart.

T.I. Set To Be Released From Jail After 2 Months

Chozen — Tue, 19 May 2009 10:35:43 +0000

The rapper, the self-proclaimed “King of the South,” had faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each charge in his three-count indictment. Harris will be credited for 305 days of home detention he already has served after being charged, so his stay at the Forrest City prison likely will be only two months. Upon his release, Harris will be on probation for three years. He also must pay a $100,000 fine as part of his sentence.

Wow, 2 Months? No comment. I could of sworn T.I. said he would be gone for a year on his show. You can bet all the snitching allegations are going to come right back.

Swizz Beatz Admits He Is In Love With Alicia Keys

Omar West — Tue, 19 May 2009 07:54:59 +0000

Swizz tells us that, yes, he’s in love with Keys and, yes, she did give him a birthday party at that museum. “But we’re nowhere near ready for a baby or a ring,” laughs Swizz, aka Kasseem Dean. “This whole song is not about Alicia. The part about her cooking breakfast for me naked — she never done that for me.” Damn. Swizz didn’t want to talk about Keys till now because, he says, “What we have is so precious.” He also felt it would aggravate Mashonda, who’s also a singer.
Full Story: NY Daily News

Damn Swizz finally lets the cat out the bag, I’ve known about this for a while but now that he actually verifies it, now it’s like wow Alecia is a home wrecker. She can wreck my home any day, lol.

Rick Ross Wore Fake Louis Vuitton Shades On The Latest Issue of XXL

Chozen — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:48:28 +0000

Here’s the run down, the XXL Editors received this letter from Louis Vuitton concerning the May 2009 cover of Rick Ross where he is roking fake Louis Vuitton glasses, which Louis Vuitton was not too happy about, below is the letter sent from Michael D. Pantalony, Esq. Louis Vuitton Malletier to XXL .

Dear Editor:
We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points.
The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.

Damn Ricky Even your shades are fake, lmao.

Lloyd Banks Speaks On Being Independent

Chozen — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:32:38 +0000

“Everything happened for a reason,” Banks said. “I feel like I’m so blessed because of my work ethic and how easy the music is coming to me. It feels so good to be an independent artist with a brand. I have direct deals with iTunes and things of that nature, where it’s direct money coming to me. It’s 50 percent of me that’s not pressed to be on a major.

It’s about damn time Banks went independent because Interscope is a joke at the moment in time, remember Flex going in on them a few weeks back.

T.I. kicks AlfaMega out of Grand Hustle over Informant Allegations

Chozen — Fri, 08 May 2009 12:48:04 +0000

T.I. issues a statement from prison, stating that Alfa Mega is no longer in Grand Hustle due to his past informant activities.

“Even though all of our artists and employees are asked by us to be honest and open about their past history at no time did Alfa disclose to me or Grand Hustle what has now appeared in the media. He essentially deceived us by failing to fully disclose the truth about his past and there is no place in our organization for dishonest and misleading behavior. As I’ve always said, you must take responsibility for your own actions, we at Grand Hustle do not support or condone blaming others for our own mistakes. I hope and pray to god bless his financial plans but I do not foresee me or my company playing the role of his personal or professional business.”

Man that was quick, it hasn’t even been 3 full days since the evidence regarding Alfamega’s service to the DEA, I think this guy might be finished.
