Jay-Z Interview on Angie Martinez (9/10/09)

Chozen — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:16:26 +0000

[See post to listen to audio]

(11:45) I’m sick of myself. Seriously, I gotta shut down after this. I never been on radio or TV this much in my life. I’m sick of myself.
(9:30) [Angie: Where you at with those guys?] Yeah, I speak to Chris often. Freeway as well. I spoke to Beans when his grandma passed, we had a conversation. I don’t speak to Peedi at all, cuz he’s a psycho. [Angie: Jeez, that's harsh.] What? [Angie: That's not harsh?] No, he’s a psycho. That’s what I truly believe. Not trying to be funny or anything.
(14:20) My man OG [Juan], when we talked about Vol. 3, he told me “Man, I HATE that album.” This is my brother. Then I said, “You like ‘So Ghetto’?” He’s was like “Yeah.” “Big Pimpin? Yeah.” After seven, he’s like “Yeah, but that album was terrible.” He liked 7 records out of 14 and said it was terrible. Anybody else has three records, they’re phenomal. I have to have 14 for 14, or it’s terrible. Not even just a good album, it’s terrible. “I hate, hate, hate that album.”
(17:40) I read that you went to go see Shyne and nobody’s asked you about that.
Not true. A lie, gossip, whatever you wanna call it.
(0:25) I can’t freestyle anymore. I’m done. [Angie: Backpackers are gonna have a field day with you.] Finished. Back when I was nice.. [Laughs.]
(8:10) [After Angie plugs ThisIs50 Fest] Nobody invited me there, I’ll take a check. Somebody get at me.
Quotes to cleanup:
I’ll be honest. I almost took Reminder off at the last second.
Are there any subliminals? Nah, never… Couple landmines. Still check for other people’s subliminals? I stopped listening to records in that way.
Do you ever miss Damon? Rocafella was beautiful in its original state. That’s my answer.

Drake Interview With DJ Drama

Chozen — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:10:03 +0000

[See post to listen to audio]

“My favorite line on the song, though, is when Wayne says, ‘Life is such a roller coaster and then it drops/ but what should I scream for, this is my theme park.’ That right there, word-play-wise, that’s my favorite. But everybody does their thing. Kanye does Kanye. Eminem raps in a way where nobody might have heard him rap in a long time and says some things that are great for his fans to hear. I’m just proud to even be on the record. People are telling me they like my verse. I’m just happy I held my own.”
…
So that record [potentially with Andre 3000 and Sade] is something important to me. Obviously [I'm gonna work with] Wayne. I’m out here really trying to get something special with Justin. Hovito [Jay-Z], we might need to get him. The track on this album was a real catchy joint. But people wanna hear us rap together. That’s one of my goals, to have that track with me and Jay. Maybe don’t even have a hook, maybe. Have just like you haven’t heard him in a minute, just going bars for bars. That might be something you’ll hear on the album.”

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.

Lil Wayne Says Rebirth Is Ready To Go, And Yes There is a New Release Date, Again.

Chozen — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 21:21:07 +0000

After being pushed back a few times, production is finally finished on Lil Wayne’s Rebirth album, and it’s ready to hit the stores.

“Expect great music. That’s all I ever want them to expect from me,” Wayne told us after the MTV Movie Awards. “I wanted to grow and show my growth as well,” he added. “It’s a difference from when you go in a room and come out and you’re better and everyone says, ‘How did you do that?’ So with this album, I wanted everyone to see my growing pains.”
…
“It’s almost like where Outkast was when they made Aquemini,” he continued. “It’s still a rap album, but was it really a rap album compared to all the other rap albums at that time? Andre Benjamin was evolving artistically to where he’s at now — Wayne is doing the same thing, and he’s not afraid to show you his growth. It’s one thing we respect about him, and we feel it’s something that everybody else should respect about him … he shows no fear. To put himself out there, you’re watching someone as they progress in their career.”

Rebirth is slated for release August 18.

Drake Says Kanye West Is The Most Influential Person On His Sound

Chozen — Thu, 28 May 2009 21:38:17 +0000

With its mix of singing and rapping, Drake’s buzz-building mixtape So Far Gone has drawn comparisons to Kanye West’s latest effort 808s & Heartbreak. For his part, Drake said the Chicago lyricist had a huge impact on his music and even described ‘Ye as “the most influential person” in shaping the young rapper’s sound.
“Before I ever got the chance to meet him, Kanye West shaped a lot of what I do, as far as music goes,” Drake told MTV News on Tuesday night before his show at S.O.B.’s. “We always, always, always took the time to listen to Kanye’s music and appreciate it beyond. We searched the samples and we find out where his inspiration came from, because he has one of the best ears in music, period. He knows how to recognize great music that’s not his. He knows how to utilize great sounds and great music. So before I met him, I had the utmost respect for Kanye West. I’d even go as far as to say he’s the most influential person as far as a musician that I’d ever had in my life.”
Drake said he and ‘Ye initially met in Hawaii, where West has been working on music recently. The interaction was brief at first, but now the two are expected to collaborate on Drake’s upcoming debut album. ‘Ye attended Drake’s New York show this week, and one of West’s managers, Gee Roberson, acts as a co-manger for Drake.
Over the weekend, West returned the accolades in a post on his blog, saying that one of Drizzy’s lines on Young Money’s “Every Girl” is the rhyme of the year.
“Drake said, ‘Do you like girls like I do?? Les-bi-honest!!!!!’ Best line of the year so far!” West wrote in all caps.
As an upstart, Drake said the comment was hilarious and flattering. “I feel like it’s funny, because that’s something he might have said,” Drake said about the line. “[But] it’s an honor that he’s even looking at me as somewhat of an equal, somewhat of a peer. I think he’s one of the greatest to ever do it.”
