J. Cole Talks Beanie Sigel vs. Jay-Z, Drake Comparisons, Mixtapes

Chozen — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:06:25 +0000

J. Cole talks to Nick Huff of Hard Knock TV about his thoughts on the Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel situation, being compared to Drake on MuchMusic TV in Toronto, and what impact mixtapes have in an artists career.
“It’s nothing you can do about those comparisons… I know it comes from a place where people don’t really know. It’s one of those things where they think “this guy reminds me of XYZ” because that’s the hot guy that’s on their mind right now. I remember a couple of years ago, people was saying Lupe cuz that’s who they was hearing about.
Once people get into the music, it’s like “oh wait, no he’s not.” But like I always say, he’s talented so it’s not a diss really. It’s all good. But the Toronto joint was crazy, ha. She said it, I was like . She didn’t mean anything by it. [Interviewer: It's kinda funny how the blogs ran with it.] Yeah, it was a real expression… I can’t believe they caught that on-camera.”

Drake Explains Tupac Line On “Fear”

Chozen — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:03:44 +0000

Drake said, unequivocally, he isn’t dissing Tupac Shakur on “Fear.” He’s just pointing out that he was too young to fully feel the impact of the music icon at the time of his passing.
“I never cried when ‘Pac died,” Drake raps on the song from his So Far Gone EP. “But I probably will when Hov does/ And if my tears hold value, then I would drop one for every single thing he showed us/ And I’ll be standing in a puddle.”
Recently calling in from Toronto, Drake explained his lines.
“A lot of people also sort of don’t understand the meaning of that line,” Drake said. “It’s not necessarily that I don’t love West Coast hip-hop or that I don’t love ‘Pac now that I’m 22, but that line was just said to show how new I am to hip-hop. And like I said, I was 9 when that happened, so it didn’t really affect me. But that song in general was just one of those things that took awhile to finish because it was an opportunity to say a lot of the things on my mind. That always feels good as a rapper, when you can get your thoughts out.”

I didn’t think that line required a explanation, who could have possibly mistake that line for a diss?

Richie Wess ft. Drake & Yung Dred – Play Ball

New music from Richie Wess (Don’t ask, the fell if I know) titled Play Ball featuring Drake and Yund Dred (once again , the hell if I know). I doubt Drake even knows the track exists, It sounds as if it’s incomplete track that these unknowns jumped on.

Jay-Z, Drake, Ice Cube Big Winners At BET Hip-Hop Awards

Chozen — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 06:38:55 +0000

At the Atlanta Civic Center, Young Jeezy — who often has high-profile guests to join him onstage — pulled off a huge move during the BET Hip-Hop Awards, kicking off the show by bringing out surprise guest Jay-Z. Hov and Young opened the show with “As Real As It Gets,” with the two hip-hop heavyweights going back and forth on verses. With the audience on their feet by song’s end, Jeezy said, “Welcome to Atlanta.”
Jay later took home the MVP of the Year award, beating out such popular peers as Lil Wayne and Drake. Hov dedicated his win to Mr. Magic, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. “Brooklyn, we did it again,” he said at the conclusion of his brief speech.
Other big winners announced during the show were Drake for Rookie of the Year and DJ AM for DJ of the Year.
Busta Rhymes stood in for the turntable great, who passed away in August. “I’m honored to accept this,” he said. Rhymes also saluted his recently deceased personal DJ, Roc Raida, and pioneer Mr. Magic who formatted his New York radio show with 100 percent hip-hop in the 1980s.
DJ Drama was the house DJ, with DJ Khaled serving as the show’s MC. Mike Epps, the show’s host, did a short stand-up routine as he cracked the mic, clowning on everyone from Lil Mama to Snoop Dogg.
During breaks, BET showed videotaped packages of their now-famous “cypher” rap sessions. DJ Premier played a beat while three sets of MCs rapped. The first set included KRS-One and Wale, while the second set showcased Joe Budden and Nicki Minaj. The rhyme of the night went to Eminem, however — his session included Black Thought and Mos Def. Em hit a rapid-fire flow that addressed everything from sex to Barack Obama.

Hottest MC In The Game: #4 Kanye West, #3 Drake, #2 Lil Wayne, #1 Jay-Z

Chozen — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:32:44 +0000

Like I said I pretty much saw this coming, Eminem should have definitely been on the list especially since he won by a land slide on the fan poles, the fight is fixed I’m not too ecstatic about this list at all. #5 Eminem, #4 Kanye West, #3 Lil Wayne, #2 Drake, #1 Jay-Z would have been the perfect list for me and yes I put Drake over Lil Wayne if we’re talking about this year and hottest currently in the game Drake made the biggest impact and doesn’t even have an album, Lil Wayne had a couple misses this year with that whole rock thing.

J. Cole Speaks On Drake’s Huge Buzz

Chozen — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:44:48 +0000

I’ll have agree with J. Cole, I think both of them are equally talented in different ways and It wouldn’t be a bad look to see them on a track together.

Even the biggest Drake stans laughed when Drake fell, shit was funny. You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve replayed that video clip!

Lil Wayne, Gudda Gudda, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga, Jae Millz & Lloyd – Bed Rock

Chozen — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:01:30 +0000

This is the first official single from Young Money’s upcoming album, Every Girl was just a teaser. They’re two versions to this song, the original track was called Girl You Know and featured Omarion on the hook prior to him getting dropped (allegedly). The second version which is now the official version features Lloyd on the hook, it’s funny how a hook can make such a big difference on a song. Personally I don’t think this track can hold a candle to Every Girl even though I’m sick of hearing it.

Drake’s Cover Story For Fader Magazine

Chozen — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:00:02 +0000

On September 7, 2008, Lil Wayne stepped onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards and then stepped decisively away from the words on the lyric sheet circulating in the audience with the following lines…
I’m on my Disney thang, goofy flow/ I’m Captain Hook on the beat and my new car is Rufio/ Damn where my roof just go/ I’m somebody that you should know/ Get to shakin’ somethin’ cause that’s what [deleted] produced it fo’/ I make mistakes that I don’t ever make excuses fo’/ Leavin’ girls that love me and constantly seducing hoes/ I’m losing my mind like, Damn where my roof just go/ Top slipped off like Janet at the Super Bowl
Then, as Leona Lewis launched into the hook of Nina Simone’s “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” he croaked, “Drizzy Drake: I love you, bwoy!” That namecheck was the only clue to most attendees that Wayne had just blatantly violated the unwritten rules of his own freestyle game by spitting another artist’s words. Though almost lost in host Russell Brand’s commentary on promise rings and presidential politics, it was a coronation moment rarely seen in the arena of rap, and with one verse, Wayne introduced the name of his protégé to the mainstream in dramatic fashion. Amongst those already familiar with the various Wayne-affiliated rookies collectively known as Young Money, the lines sparked a fierce debate over whether Drake was in fact ghostwriting for the master (he and Wayne both still claim he never has), but by the time the rap blog drama blew over, one thing seemed clear: Drake was the next big thing, heir apparent to Wayne’s multi-platinum throne and Young Money’s most likely flagship artist.

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 ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem – Forever

Chozen — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 01:43:29 +0000

Now if you are a member of our Facebook fan page (witch you should be) then you should already be aware of the news that this song was in the works, similar to Money 2 Blow this song is also a remake from a song that was on Heartbreak Drake Pt 1. The original only had Drake, Lil Wayne and and someone else who’s name escapes me at the moment, this version has the new verses from Drake, Lil Wayne, plus Kanye West and Eminem have been added to the roster which is far more epic than having someone on it who’s name I can’t remember.

You know your a hot artist when people are already remaking songs you already put out on mixtapes and repackaging them as singles, the kid didn’t even drop an album yet. In all honesty though I much prefer Lil Wayne and Drake’s original verses.

And yeah Eminem bodied this shit.
