Freeway Talks About Jay-Z & Why G-Unit Deal Didn’t Work

Chozen — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:54:56 +0000

Freeway stops by ThisIs50 to talk about few different topics. He starts it off with a freestyle before talking to Jack Thriller, the discussion starts off with Free talking about his passion for music and staying relevant in Hip Hop. He also talked about his new album “Diamond In The Ruff” which he feels he went back to his roots production wise with Just Blaze and Bink! Jack Thriller asked about Jay-Z coming to Philly over the summer and having him, Bleek and Young Gunz come out to perform in a mini Roc reunion concert which he currently has plans for a show next month. The conclude the interview Free talks about the 2007 deal with G-Unit deal with 50 Cent that was initially planned to go down but fell apart at the last second, I think Jay-z had something to do with that similar to what happened with Beanie Sigel. “Diamond In The Ruff” is now in stores.

Rihanna Scores Her First US #1 Album With “Unapologetic”

Chozen — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 01:03:57 +0000

Congratulations are in order for Rihanna and her team. After seven years of dropping solid albums and countless hit records you'd think RiRi would have long since scored the top spot on Billboards 200, but that hasn't been the case. Well that's now over, In at #1 this week with a commendable 238,949 sold this week, 'Unapologetic' surpasses sales of every other US release, marking the singer’s first time atop the Billboard 200. In light of her competitors this isn't a major feet, she is still yet to match even the worst sales scored by many of her closest rivals. That being said Rihanna's current reign certainly points to rising even further into super stardom. There's also the fact that Unapologetic is currently being carried by one single, "Diamonds." The whole is packed with many other records that could become hit singles, which will surely carry Unapologetic into platinum status. Congrats to Rihanna.

Rihanna’s Chris Brown Sends Twitter Into a Frenzy

IHHM — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:14:21 +0000

I believe Rihanna enjoys creating controversy, it's a part of the Rihanna brand, so nothing she does should really be surprising anymore. The songstress may have spent Thanksgiving with her supposedly ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, tweeted a photo of Brown lying in bed with his short off. Predictably the pic made Twitter loose it's collective sh*t, on Sunday (February 25th.) "Dis *****....... #BartObsessed, Rihanna posted on the pic. For weeks fans and the media have been saying they're back together, so this just adds further confirmation. Rihanna has received allot of criticism for re-associating herself with Brown after the infamous domestic abuse incident that ended their relationship three years ago. Soon we'll probably see one of them confirm they're actually back together again.

Chozen — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:20:32 +0000

On Tuesday, November 20 at 4pm PT/7pm ET, Alicia Keys will host her first ever YouTube Livestream and Google+ Hangout with fans to premiere her new album "Girl on Fire." You can tune in to the premiere event on Alicia's YouTube channel or via her Google+ page. During the 90-minute YouTube Livestream and Google+ Hangout, Keys will play selections from all tracks on the album and offer insights and stories from the recording process. She'll discuss the making of the album and her incredible array of collaborators. She also will engage her fans in an interactive Q&A. Keys is set to release her highly anticipated fifth studio album, Girl on Fire (November 27th), which features powerful anthems and intimate ballads, led by Keys' signature soulful voice, and personable and relatable lyrics. Keys collaborated with acclaimed and emerging talent, including longtime song writing partner, Krucial, Grammy® Award-winners Babyface, Maxwell and Bruno Mars, renowned writer and vocalist Jeff Bhasker, critically-acclaimed artists Gary Clarke Jr., and Frank Ocean, as well as emerging talent from the U.K., Emeli Sandé and Jamie XX. The songs on Girl On Fire are anchored by Keys' powerful vocals and trademark piano, but are sonically broadened by heavy drums, electric sounds, reggae and future soul, which gives the album an evolved, modern-day feel while simultaneously sounding like a classic body of timeless music. The album features an inspirational mix of the rich sounds Keys discovered while recording and traveling the world, particularly time she spent in London and Jamaica, layered within her New York City roots.

Rihanna Lets It All Go in GQ Magazine “Man Of The Year” Issue

Chozen — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:21:46 +0000

Aren't you just sick of seeing Rihanna with no cloths on?......No? I thought so, and me neither so lets take a look at some more pictures shall we? But before we get into that, lets check out what RiRi has to say about the Chris Brown vs Drake incident that went down in club Manhattan. Rihanna was also in attendance that night, below is the excerpt from her GQ magazine interview about what she thinks went down.

At nine fifteen, Rihanna’s black Escalade pulls up in front of Emilio’s Ballato, Andy Warhol’s Nolita Italian restaurant of choice, a circus in tow. Her army of bodyguards surveys the scene. Then one of Rihanna’s long legs hits the pavement and it’s madness. There are paparazzi everywhere, all at once, perching on bicycles and European motorbikes, firing out of Mercedes-Benz windows and SUV sunroofs, pushing in on every square foot of sidewalk. The cameras strobe around her like a Ferris wheel. Rihanna glides through the melee and into the foyer, where her signed photograph hangs. She’s sporting skintight black jeans, black shades, a black cutoff designer sweatshirt with oversize gold letters. (ORIGINAL, it says.) With her dahlia-shade lips, big anime eyes, and slow-motion strut, she looks like some neo-noir femme fatale en route to her next hit. “That was intense,” I stammer, emerging from the whiteout of flashes and the theatrics of Rihanna arrives at dinner. “I guess you’re used to it by now. But my heart kind of…” “You’re never used to it,” she says. “It’s chaos.” Robyn Rihanna Fenty rides swells of chaos and controversy and celebrity with the nerve and control of a champion big-wave surfer. When we meet in October, she’s on the verge of releasing Unapologetic, her seventh studio album in seven years. (The last six have sold more than a million copies each.) She’s been named the most downloaded artist ever, the most popular star on Facebook, the sexiest woman alive; she’s reached nearly 3 billion views on YouTube; she’s Rihanna Inc., a multimillion-dollar enterprise. She’s 24. “Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product, ” she says. “I look at me and see art. If I didn’t like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery. “ There’s a group of goons conspiring in the restaurant’s private back room, and Rihanna blows them a kiss. Her publicist and assistant take a table nearby. She sits across from me with the posture of a boarding-school equestrian. I bring up her body art, and she jokes about almost getting inked on her face the night before. “The tattoo artist said nope, I’m not gonna do it,” she says, “because if you’re looking at your face, it’s right there staring at you.” Before the entrées arrive, she’s interviewing the interviewer. I’m getting into my recent breakup, the empty space in my closet, and she’s saying, very bro-like, “Life can be such a dick sometimes, right?” She sometimes gets grouped with theatrical pop stars like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj. But those are one-woman masquerade balls, their real selves hidden behind the next costume change. Rihanna, on the other hand, comes off as wild, weird, unfiltered, a little unhinged, which just makes everyone else go all unhinged. Onstage, she’ll tap out the beat on her pussy and croon lyrics like Suck my cockiness, lick my persuasion. Online, she’ll tweet a chicken-soup Bible passage to her 26 million followers and then an Instagram shot of a stripper’s head between her thighs. And there’s her tabloid-epic personal life (we’ll get to that). She once said she wants to be “the black Madonna.” But there’s none of the Material Girl’s self-conscious Catholic angst here. “That comes from my culture,” she says with her Bajan steel-drum accent. “That’s just the way it’s always been, and I think that for people, especially in America, they make it like the forbidden fruit, but that only makes kids more curious.” When Rihanna was starting out, after being discovered by a vacationing music producer in Barbados, she didn’t realize she was doing anything other than what she had grown up doing in the dance halls. “I was a lot more naive about the way I moved and the way I was being perceived. The more you hear people talk about ‘Oh, you’re a sex symbol,’ it just makes you think, ‘Why are you saying that?’ And I figured it out.” I ask what turns her on, because I know she’ll answer. “I like to feel like a woman,” she says. “I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead.” Do you ever switch things up? I ask. “I could absolutely be dominant,” she answers. “But, in general, I’d rather… How do I say this in like a…non-X-rated version?” Right. Lastly, any boundaries I should know about? “Love makes you go places you probably wouldn’t ever go, had it not been for love. But I think everybody still has their limits.” ··· Rihanna’s penthouse at the Hotel Gansevoort looks like the cargo hold of the Titanic after hitting the iceberg. Members of her entourage sit on suitcases. Blunts circulate. Highlights from Basketball Wives play on the TV. Her producer, The-Dream, comes in, wearing gold diamond-studded Jesus doubloons that hang down to his belt, a Rolex on each wrist. A former drum-line player, he wrote Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” and Rihanna’s megahit “Umbrella.” She harmonizes various samples: Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train,” Van Morrison’s “Gloria,” a little Patti Smith. She’s infectious. The-Dream beat-boxes, pounding his fist against the door. “I want to make music that’s hopeful, uplifting. Nothing corny or supersentimental,” she told me. “I just want it to have the feeling that brings you out of whatever you’re going through. I want it to spark that fire. I want it to be real, authentic, and raw.” In a song like “We Found Love,” her biggest hit ever, Rihanna combines Lee “Scratch” Perry’s lo-fi intonations with dark, almost dystopian lyrics and somehow produces a catchy dance tune. The effect is uncanny, that eeriness to her voice; the hair on the back of your neck stands up, but your body starts moving. Now she starts riffing on The-Dream’s song “Foreplay,” half-whispering, half-droning: Bitch, fuck the foreplay, I want it now. We’re talking straight sex. It’s going down! Her ass gyrates circles into the edge of the hotel room bed, and the blankets come untucked. The group erupts with laughter, and she chides The-Dream: “You need to write me that shit. No pop shit. None of that lovey-dovey shit…. It’s gotta be tweet, retweet, trending topic!” ··· WE all head out to a club in the meatpacking district, Griffin. But by the time we get there, Rihanna’s mood has noticeably shifted. She’s detached, rocking hypnotically, slow-dancing solo. Then the DJs shout out names of the stars there that night: Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Rihanna, and Chris Brown. The last name reverberates over a clamorous 2 Chainz track. The crowd does a double take, like Chris Brown? Here we go! In 2009 her former boyfriend beat her up so bad she had to go to the hospital. During an emotional interview with Oprah this summer, she said Chris needed help at the time. The singer’s still on probation for bashing her. (She agreed to ease the restraining order in 2011.) Then there was the brawl back in June involving Brown and rapper Drake, whom she was maybe dating for a bit, at a Manhattan club. Reportedly, Brown had sent the rapper champagne, and Drake returned the gift with a note saying, “I’m fucking the love of your life.” Next thing you knew, the place turned into the Greeks versus the Trojans, with her as Helen of Troy. I’d asked her about it at dinner. Her tone turned impenetrable, lawyerly: “There’s no proof of that being for my love. That’s my answer to that question.” Then she immediately turned it back on me: “You ever have bitches fight over you?” Anyway, it can’t be a coincidence, she and Brown being here together. By the morning, the tabloid story of their encounter—the woman who drives men crazy, going back to a man the world thinks is at least a little bit nuts—will be everywhere. But here’s what I witness: Chris Brown brashly stands on top of his bench in the neighboring booth. He and Rihanna start tossing flirtatious glances like kids passing notes in middle-school math class. The smirks and the playfulness continue until they’re dancing with each other from afar. Then, out of mock frustration, Brown climbs over the top of the booth. A mischievous tingle of controversy vibrates through the club. There, in the middle of all the craziness: Rihanna stares straight at me and passes me a spliff. She turns her green-hazel Bambi gaze back to Brown and begins to sway those famous hips from side to side. It’s 2 a.m. She looks like she’s just getting started. “This is some movie shit, ladies and gentlemen!” the DJ bellows. “We see you, Chris and Rihanna!”

While talking about past relationships, CiCi was asked about her "Sorry" music video, and if it was about 50 Cent.

"He's obviously far from afraid of anything that he can control, obviously without a problem. But at the same time, I think because of...not even because of that....but him being not afraid of anything in that way, the one thing he is afraid of is love, and with that being said in a sense he's afraid of me."

Game Calls “Jesus Piece” The 2012 “Chronic”

Chozen — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 15:19:44 +0000

It's only right he hypes up his own album, that's what he's suppose to do. Though in reality we haven't heard anything thus far from this upcoming project that would suggest it's the 2012 "Chronic." In a sit down with MTV Game claims Jesus Piece is “kind of like a 2012 Chronic album, if you will.” Similar to the 1992 Chronic album, Jesus Piece will be packed with features. For those not happy so many features, Game tells them to “go buy the Documentary or download one of them 10,000 free mixtapes.” I think the features will work in Game's favor since they will more than likely end up being the most important part of the album, because Game by himself isn't all that interesting. Game has enlisted a barrage of his rap buddies to talk about Jesus. But “it’s not a Christian album,” says Game. It’s just an album that will look at how the streets interact with religion. Jesus Piece is due out later this year. Check Game out, trying to be deep.

Gunplay Released From Jail On $150K Bond & House Arrest

Chozen — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:03:26 +0000

Gunplay has had a very active month, from catching a quick beat down at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards, to turning himself in to authorities due to a warrant for a robbery charge. Now he's out on a bail. Earlier today, his attorney Michael Grieco announced Gunplay was released on $150,000 bond and placed on house arrest in the connection to the robbery of a man at a Miami Tax business on April 13th. According to Grieco:

“The state did not prove that Mr. Morales was a flight risk or a threat to the community,” said his attorney Michael Grieco in an email statement. “He should be home with his family shortly. This is first step in clearing his name so he can continue his emerging music career.”

House arrest beats jail any day, all that's left now is for 50 Cent to mail him his chain back, he's at least allowed to walk to the mail box.

Lil Wayne Completely Oblivious To The Backlash Over His “New York” Comment

Chozen — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:29:15 +0000

The last time we saw Lil Wayne on MTV, he said “Flat Out, I Don’t Like New York” and the internet lost it's collective sh*t. Of course it was not a shot aimed at NYC per say, more so at the NYPD and his history with them in the City. But nevertheless it didn't stop Donny Goines from dropping a diss record, T.I. defended him, Queens State Senator Demanded he apologize, and Fabolous took advantage of it. With all this we didn't so much as hear a peep out of Weezy, until now. Apparently Wayne had no idea any of this was even taking place, really Wayne? In his latest sit down with MTV News, Wayne made it clear that he's always working and does not have time for anything else nor is he listening to other people's music. Said he hasn't heard So NY. Lil Wayne has No Worries.

Game – Jesus Piece (Artwork)

Chozen — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:27:06 +0000

Here 's the cover artwork for Game's 5th studio album, Jesus Piece. The cover depicts a brown skinned Jesus with a red flag wrapped around half his face, a tattoo tear drop and a gold Jesus piece chain. In the background are marijuana plants, palm trees and what I'm guessing is a back drop of L.A and Long Beach. I'm about being creative, and taking traditional things otherwise considered forbidden and putting a controversial twist on it. So longs as it's truly of artistic expression, or challenging the status quo. I don't believe this to be the case, Game isn't that deep -- not to mention he has long track record of doing things just to get attention no matter what, hence why he can't go 16 bars without name dropping. The Jesus Piece album is set to arrive sometime in December. So what's your thought on the cover, is it dope or is Game just desperately aiming for shock value? Controversial for the sake of being controversial.

Rihanna – Unapologetic (Artwork)

Chozen — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 06:02:28 +0000

Two weeks ago Rihanna released a new single called Diamonds which was well received by both fans and critics alike, the song evoked a new more mature sounding RiRi. At the time, there was some mystery as to what her new album would be called, MTV even speculated that it would be called 7 World Wonders. That was way off. Well all the guessing can be put to rest now, the album will be called "Unapologetic" and the name is perfect. Reason being is because there's allot of attention and cretinism being pointed in Rihanna's direction regarding her behavior as of late. From her crazy weekends in Vegas, throwing up in the club, to possibly being back together with Chris Brown. Rihanna's album title serves as a "F*ck you" to anyone who doesn't approve of her actions. Just like her past three albums, Rihanna will be releasing this album worldwide on November 19th. From this point on expect the Rihanna promo to go into full effect. Can't wait to see the music video for Diamonds.

The beautiful Kelly Rowland has been dropping a few clues via her Twitter over the past few weeks, she repeatedly tweeted #YOTW. On her website, Kelly revealed that she will be following up the 2011 success of the "Here I Am" album, with her forth studio project “Year of the Woman.” Rowland boasts her upcoming project as her best body of work today, and we can expect to see the “old” Kelly returning to her original R&B sound. The first street single was ICE featuring Lil Wayne over the summer and since then we've seen numerous features from Kelly which included Mama Told Me by Big Boi, Representin by Ludacris and How Deep Is Your Love by Sean Paul. So far Sean Garrett, T-Pain, Diane Warren T-Minus, Eric Hudson and Da Internz have all be named with having involvement in the album. I hope Kelly Rowland can continue the success of her previous album, fans including my self having been waiting for Kelly to have her moment.

Beyonce Wants Jay-Z To Stay Away From Rihanna, “She’s Beyond Hope”

Chozen — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 04:13:57 +0000

Beyonce ain't about that Rihanna life, and she has voiced her opinion on the matter. She warns her husband Jay-Z to keep his distance from his protégée Rihanna. A source close to the couple says, Beyonce has told Jay that she’s terrified RiRi is beyond saving, she believes her behavior is spiraling out of control with no end in sight. This is following the fact that Rihanna had one of her wild weekends, which included vomiting in a club, sending good luck messages to abusive ex Chris Brown and Tweeting a picture of herself with a female freaky dancer. Sounds like a good weekend to me...But hey I'm just a blogger, what do I know. A source close to Beyoncé, 31, says:

‘She’s told Jay that Ri-Ri’s beyond hope and just isn’t their problem. ‘This drama has been going on for so long and people get hurt because she won’t grow up.' The source continued, ‘Bey wants Jay to keeps his distance.’

Rihanna has been pushing the Young Wild & Free motto to it's limit, on September 20th she Tweeted a picture of herself with a stripper between her legs. Again, sounds like a good night to me...lol The next night she arrived late on stage at the highly anticipated Las Vegas iHeart Radio festival, for which she was one of the main headliners. She only performed for 30 minutes then dipped out to he 1Oak nightclub, where club goers saw her ‘vomiting into a napkin’. A source reports that she partied with skippers until the crack of dawn. The source adds: ‘She’s been at Spearmint Rhino strip club every night, visiting private booths to get hot and heavy with girls.’ In addition to that Rihanna also sparked some Twitter controversy, when she wished her ex Chris Brown good luck at a court appearance, after he was caught with weed while still on probation for his attack on her. She even said she would back him up when he appears in court next month for another probation hearing.

My Thoughts

She's not out of control, she's just being Rihanna. When she develops a drug habbit, suffers from anorexia and talking pure fuckry in every interview then they'll be a real need for concern. If we're talking music lets keep it real, Rihanna has had the game on lock for the past 3 years and Beyonce though a international superstar hasn't been able to touch RiRi on the charts for quite some time now. And if you haven't heard Diamonds yet, that will only prove that Rihanna is still getting better.

Drake Meets Aaliyah, Do You Find These Pictures Disrespectful?

Chozen — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 03:14:25 +0000

I knew Drake was always a big fan of the late great Aaliyah ever since the Unforgettable collaboration with Young Jeezy but this could be construed as being a little on the creepy side. Allot of Aaliyah fans find the photos to be out right disrespectful, I'm a huge of Aaliyah and though It's not personally disrespectful to me it's a little weird to see these photos. Very life like, I'll say that much....Check em out. When it was announced Drake would be overseeing a new, posthumous Aaliyah album, some offended critics and artists reacted harshly, but others relished in the excitement of a new Aaliyah album. Though the project has received a very mixed response, Drake and Aaliyah's uncle Barry Hankerson are determined to see it through. Hankerson, the CEO of Blackground Records, recently explained the thought process behind the controversial album.

"Due to circumstances, we can't control the emotional toll of healing of her legacy like others," Hankerson said. "The intent is not to disrespect the family, nor do Blackground Records want to shed any bad light around Aaliyah's legacy. We'd like to go in a different direction with the 16 tracks and have been more than open to work with past collaborators. So, Damon Dash--her ex fiance--is more than willing to assist Drake and Noah in producing the album."

What's your thoughts on this whole Aaliyah situation?

French Montana Talks 50 Cent, MMG, G.O.O.D. vs. YMCMB & Beef Being Bad For Business

IHHM — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:53:27 +0000

In a recent interview with Complex magazine, French Montana expressed his feelings on Rap beef in today's day and age. He feels that it's bad for business and in addition it's often not a legitimate beef.

[With rap] it’s like, you ain’t going to see them people you beefing with. You lying. You got security, you're never at the same events. It’s like you beefing in a smart way if you’re trying to come up. Then it’s like a competition, you know like a battle rap. But if you want to battle rap you might as well call Fight Club, get to battle rapping. Don’t act like you want problems.

He also talked about the on going rivalry between G.O.O.D. & YMCMB and pointed out Pusha T and Lil Wayne's long standing feud that dates all the way back to 2006.

Pusha T and Lil Wayne's [beef] ain’t nothing serious. If Wayne feels like [it’s real beef] then you know Baby would have got involved. Things like that, it’s good for hip-hop. If nobody got shot, it ain’t beef.

In addition to Lil Wayne and Pusha T, 50 Cent's name was also brought up while talking about beef.

People get scared when you try to beef with people. In general, [even in street shit] nobody want to stand next to you if somebody about to shoot you, unless you have a a big lick [Ed. Note—A "lick" means a hustle.] They [used to] do that with 50 because 50 was the bank. They knew he was going to win. People ain’t doing that [anymore].

I get where French is coming from but lets not kid ourselves -- Beef is apart of the Hip-Hop fabric and will be forever, he's right when he says that Hip Hop goes through seasons and now is a time of peace. Though there's already sings of change on the horizon, Rick Ross vs Jeezy is a real issue, Gunplay getting jumped by G-Unit is a real issue, shoot even Chris Brown vs Drake is legit. At some point this period of "Kumbaya" and "Can't we all just get along" will come to a halt. All you need is one rapper who wants the crown in Hip-Hop and goes after it, just sit back and watch how many opponents come out the wood work. Read the full interview at Complex.

Say what you want about Rick Ross, love him or hate him -- both he and his Maybach Music Group imprint pretty much owned this year. Ross had the first quarter on lock with the Rich Forever mixtape, then Meek Mill followed up with Dreamchasers 2, that owned the summer with over 2 million downloads in it's first 2 days of release. After that MMG released their second group album “Self Made Vol. 2” and then Rick Ross released his now certified gold album “God Forgives, I Don’t.” The 4th quarter is now officially upon us and they are not slowing down, as MMG plans to release Wale’s “I Ain’t Perfect” in December as well as the debut studio album by Meek “Mill Dreams & Nightmares” on Halloween Eve; This would be enough for any major label, but Rozay doesn't think so. Earlier today, he himself announced via Twitter that he plans to release his newest mixtape entitled “The Black Bar Mitzvah.” With all this new beef that's been sparked between MMG, G-Unit and CTE you can expect this tape will be fully loaded with ammo for all the rivals. I'm looking forward to it.

Chris Brown Seen Leaving Rihanna’s Hotel, Do You Think They’re Back Together?

IHHM — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:24:12 +0000

The press will not let this one go until they uncover the truth about Chris Brown and Rihanna, and they have good reason to. They were very friendly at the MTV VMAs and before they Rihanna confessed to Oprah about their secret randevu. Where that had lunch and talked for hours. I remember very vividly saying a few years ago that they would get back together, and now it seems that just might become a reality. Numerous sources are reporting that the two artists were caught making out in a New York City nightclub on Monday night. If that's the case then it suggests that the two no longer want to keep things private anymore. According to Celebuzz, Brown and Rihanna were set up in an area all to themselves. "The 24-year-old and Brown were set up at separate tables, two apart from one another, and our source says Brown immediately 'climbed over the center to get to her.' Once 23-year-old Brown made his way over to his ex-girlfriend, he removed his shirt and started 'dancing on the table for Rihanna' and the two began 'dancing together and being very smitten,' says the eyewitness." Now photos and a video have surfaced showing C Breezy leaving Rihanna's hotel room. He wasn't dressed in club like attire.

I've never seen this much recap and coverage of an event that hasn't aired yet. The thing I don't get is why isn't the BET Hip Hop awards isn't done live on television.

Chozen — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 21:45:59 +0000

Meek Mill's debut album "Dreams And Nightmares" drops October 30th. This comes after the successful release of his Dreamchasers 2 mixtape, followed by a sold out tour. Now he's ready to make his major debut, he's already released his first official single from the EP called Young & Gettin It featuring Kirko Bangz. I'm most definitely looking forward to hearing this album, I've seen Meek Mill come from literally nothing to where he is now and it's truly inspirational. Thoughts on the artwork?

Terrence J & Rocsi Diaz Say Goodbye To “106 & Park”

IHHM — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 20:54:04 +0000

Time sure does fly, I remember when Free and AJ left and how people just gave up on the show. They were replaced by Big Tigger and Julissa Bermudez which was cool because Tigger was a veteran and Julissa was already with BET and it was going good. Then a year later, they hit us with Terrence J & Rocsi Diaz and we were not having it, some fans never returned but new ones showed and after about 3 months they really Terrence & Rocsi started to get into their zone and actually ended up saving a show that was going to be otherwise cancelled.

Brooklyn Barclays Center: Jay-Z’s New Verse, Protests & Profits

IHHM — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 08:30:01 +0000

The grand opening of the Brooklyn Barclays Center was the big event that ended off this eventful week in Hip-Hop. The grand opening saw everything from protests, profits to people just simply there to see Hova.

Funeral at Barclays?

Beneath the rusted overhang of the arena’s entrance, eight men dressed in black carried two caskets through the crowd. The protesters were part of “Don’t Shoot NYC,” a campaign to reduce the number of gun-related killings throughout the city. The Jay-Z concert for the Grand opening of Barclays presented the perfect opportunity for the DSN (I made that up) to gain attention and further their agenda. They weren't alone either, another group of protesters from the "Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn" group were also in attendance. Their major issue and complaints were in reference to Forest City Ratner, the company that developed the arena. One of the protesters Kanene Holder who also associates with the Occupy Wall Street movement, said she's concerned about her borough.

“The people of Brooklyn didn't want the Barclays Center,” “Brooklyn has more problems than not having a basketball team. How about poor schools, high crime, no jobs.”

Small Businesses Love Jay-Z

While protesters were pissed, local businesses were very happy. Many local store fronts welcomed the opening of the arena with "Hello Brooklyn" banners. Representatives of P.C. Richard & Son, Modell’s Sporting Goods agree that this is a good thing.

“Not too long ago this was all empty ground, nothing was here, Now I see people walk the streets right now that I’ve never seen before."

- Billy Gnad, district manager of P.C. Richard & Son Many other small businesses are also saw big gains from grand opening and expect more from Jay-Z's scheduled eight shows.

What's Good With That New Jay-Z Verse Though?

Hova couldn't open up Barclays without something new, so he had to drop a new verse for y'all.

This is Rich Porter Part II You can stunt like that when you rich before your debut Money and the murder, rapper or the trapper, either way I’m gonna serve you Shooters on my team, no really I got shooters on my team Juan or Deron, how you niggas want it? Pick a arm They call me lucky lefty, ball so hard I don’t respect the fucking referees.

Something light....It's just Different (Hov voice) I'm sure a track will surface at some point that features the verse in it's entirety. Some weak visual for you. Not since 1957 has Brooklyn had a professional team which were the Dodgers, and Jay-Z had a hand in that which is a big deal when you think about it. He grew up in nearby housing project, rapped his way to the top of the Hip Hop food chain, gained stakes in the Nets (very small) and played a significant role in making the team the Brooklyn Nets. That's the super abridged version. He's very much the public face of this arena. Jay-Z is the black Sinatra of our time....Nah f*ck that he's the Jay-Z of our time.

G.O.O.D. Music’s “Cruel Summer” Debuts At #2 With 200K Sold

Not bad, usually Group albums don't do that well, but 205,000 is good by any standard not to mentioned they already have a platinum selling single in the bag. The album fell short of the number one spot due to Pink’s “The Truth About Love” in the Billboard Top 200 which sold 280,000. They did however lock down the No. 1 on the R&B and Hip-Hop charts. A series of hot releases which include “Mercy,” “Cold,” “New God Flow” and most recently “Clique,” all played a role in the Cruel Summer project performing well on the charts.

Lil Wayne’s “I Am Not A Human Being II” LP Drops November 13th

IHHM — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 05:28:56 +0000

Lil Wayne's "I Am Not A Human Being II" LP finally has a release date, which is November 13th. A couple months ago Wayne said the content on the LP was originally meant for him and Juelz Santana's long awaited and once highly anticipated "I Can't Feel My Face" collaboration project. Due to Wayne and Juelz being in and out of jail, they were never able to be on the same schedule and thus the project never got done. The LP didn't officially have a lead single, until a record from Lil Wayne's recently released The Dedication 4 mixtape started to gain some traction. It was then remastered and released as the official first single for the I Am Not A Human Being II LP. Other albums dropping November include Ne-Yo, 50 Cent and Ghostface Killah. Are y'all looking forward to Wayne's new LP?

Pusha T: “I’m the Sole Reason Kanye Knows Chief Keef’s Music”

IHHM — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:41:27 +0000

You may remember earlier in the year when Kanye West and G.O.O.D Music remixed Chief Keef's breakout single "I Don't Like," it was the ultimate co-sign for the young Chicago MC, even though Chief Keef doesn't feel like Kanye West helped the record at all. G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T says he's the reason Kanye added some vocals to "I Don't Like".

"First of all, I am solely the reason that there's a Chief Keef remix on [Cruel Summer]," Pusha insisted. I saw him on WorldStar. I never click Worldstar rappers but the [video] picture for some reason drew me. It was for '3 Hunna.' So I clicked on it and I called [manager Steven] Victor and I said 'Victor I want to sign this kid. Go online and check this kid out. It's authentic.'"

Pusha T was sold on Chief Keef because of his originality and authenticity. "That's what I like about him. This isn't Nas at 16." Pusha T's manager Steven Victor didn't believe Pusha T was serious and thus the deal never took place. Keef ultimately signed to Interscope Records. So your telling me Chief Keef could have been under the G.O.O.D Music roster? Nah I don't think that would have worked out.

Chris Brown Fails Drug Test, Probation Review Ordered by Judge

IHHM — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:24:51 +0000

Chris Brown went back to court for a probation progress report hearing stemming from his 2009 assault on Rihanna and despite testing positive for drugs during a random screening, the judge decided not to revoke his probation. Chris appeared in the courtroom for the first time in over a year. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said community service logs from Brown's home state of Virginia, as well as further review, was needed to determine if he followed his probation. According to reports, Chris admitted to smoking up in California, where he has a medical prescription, but he failed the test in Virginia, where it's illegal. Another hearing has been set for November to review more probation records. Based on reports, Chris Brown needed 120 hours to complete his community service, but his lawyer claims he has completed 1,400 hours of service - that's equivalent to doing 8 hours of service a day for an astonishing 175 days.

50 Cent Launches Investigation Into Chris Lighty’s Death, At The Request Of Lighty’s Mother

IHHM — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:04:51 +0000

In many past interviews 50 Cent has repeatedly expressed his doubts about his close friend and mentor Chris Lighty actually committing suicide. He's not the only one, many others who were close to Lighty like Busta Rhymes have said that Chris Lighty isn't the type of person to do something like that. Yesterday at the request of Lighty's mother, 50 Cent has hired an investigative team to look into the incident further. In the report above, done by Lisa Evers of Fox 5, we learn Lighy’s will left most of his estate to his estranged wife Veronica, the woman with whom he allegedly argued shortly before he died. All that was needed was a little bit of doubt to spark an investigation. The question is though, will they be able to actually find anything that the cops couldn't? They've already ruled it a suicide.

Wiz Khalifa – O.N.I.F.C. (Tracklist)

IHHM — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:09:03 +0000

Wiz Khalifa's O.N.I.F.C. album tracklist has been released, but unfortunately the album has been pushed back until December 4th, due to record label fuckry. What we have until then is a recently released single entitled "Remember You" featuring The Weeknd. The second official single following Wiz's platinum "Work Hard Play Hard" single. Many have debated whether Wiz have fallen off since the release of his major label debut Rolling Papers, my answer to that is no. Especially when Rolling Papers wasn't even that good, that first go around was an experiment for Wiz trying to differentiate his sound from the mixtape Wiz Khalifa which is where I think he messed up. Perfect example would be his recently released mixtape Taylor Allderdice which I feel was more enjoyable than his album. That's the formula Wiz should stick to. The 2 official singles from the album thus far are good, but take a look at all the good tracks released this year that didn't make the tracklist. Wiz Khalifa – Oz’s & Lbs (feat. Chevy Woods & Berner) (Hard!) Wiz Khalifa – Telescope (feat. 50 Cent) (Ferrari F 50 showed up for this one) Wiz Khalifa – Different Cloth (feat. Busta Rhymes) (Busta goes ham as usually…Legit!!!) Wiz Khalifa – Far From Coach (feat. Game & Stat Quo) (This is fire) Not to say this say this much features should be on an album but it shows you that Wiz hasn't lost a step musically, it's when it comes to an album, you might not get the Wiz your looking for.

Checkout the Wiz Khalifa O.N.I.F.C. Tracklist

Paperbond

Let It Go
The Bluff (feat. Cam’ron)

This has to be the funniest legal proceeding I have ever seen, it's so weird it's like Wayne is spoofing himself. Lil Wayne who is suing Quincy Jones III over a documentary film about Lil Wayne during his Carter III run. Quincy Jones III had a film crew tag along with Lil Wayne for a few months to archive the rappers day to day life as he works on the Carter III. Wayne was not happy with the finished product, he called it a "scandalous portrayal." Wayne is being questioned by Quincy's lawyer, Pete Ross from major law firm Browne George Ross, while he's being questioned about his criminal record Wayne appeared to have lost all memory of the last 4 years of his life.

Yup, 2 X-rated videos were stolen from Kanye's computer, adding insult to injury, it's with 2 different women. I wonder if they're both Kim Kardashian look-alikes? It's being reported that the first tape lasts 20 minutes while the second one lasted over 40 minutes with no breaks. TMZ said both tapes were shot years ago. Kanye is pissed about the videos getting stolen and will be seeking legal action against those responsible for selling the video to whichever adult video industry pays the highest for the footage.

Wiz Khalifa Involved in Alleged Hit-And-Run

IHHM — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:22:38 +0000

Wiz Khalifa is currently being investigated by Los Angeles law enforcement, as they believe he may have smashed into a woman's vehicle and then fled the scene. I supposedly happened last Wednesday night, according to TMZ and the LAPD. It was reported that police were searching for the Pittsburgh rapper after the woman filed a police report. The woman was said to be working on the same music video set as Khalifa. It was around midnight when the incident took place - just as everyone was departing from the set. Not much more is known about this incident, but authorities are currently in search of Khalifa. Wiz who just recently confirmed that his O.N.I.F.C. album was complete, just released his second official single called "Remember You" featuring The Weeknd. The album was once again pushed back to December 4th, and if this incident turns out to be true, it could cause further delays.

Do You Hate Chris Brown? Well There’s An App For That

IHHM — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:05:22 +0000

The IHHM regulars know we rock with Chris Brown when it comes to music and being a performer, he's super talented. But the brand that is Chris Brown often dabbles in the realm of fuckry far too much, after all the hoopla over the new tattoo on his neck of what appears to be a battered Rihanna, some people are fed up. Well if your one of those people guess what? There's an APP for that! Introducing Chris Brownout Brought to you by Aux TV the same creators of the NickelBlock app to block out Nickelback's fuckry. C Breezy is now on the list. Here's what Nikki Tudico, the Communications Manager at Aux TV told us about the APP. Since you guys created the app is it safe to say you're not fans of Chris Brown? It's probably safer to say that we love Rihanna. 2. Does the app actually identify & block out Chris Brown's face or does it just block the image associated with the headline Chris Brown's name. The Chris Brownout App attempts to block any trace of him, images included. Anything that has "Chris Brown" in the file name or tags is at risk of its wrath. Try Google image-searching ChrisBrown with Chris Brownout installed. 3. Have you received any crazed reactions from Chris Brown's cult like fans? It's been mostly positive, surprisingly. The only negative feedback we've received so far is from people accusing us of being part of the problem by giving him more exposure. We welcome more negative feedback though. Get at us, naysayers! 4. Will the app be available for other browsers or just Chrome? So far it's only available for Chrome unless you want to sweet talk our developer into building it for others. But we do have a Nickelblock browser (guess what that one blocks) that's also available for Firefox:http://www.aux.tv/2011/11/nickelblock/. - Nikki Tudico We tested out, but as a news site we can't be blocking out headline. It's prett cool thought, check it out. Google Chrome Store: Chris Brownout.

Kanye West Sex Tape Does In fact Exist, His Lawyer Demands Take Down of Images

IHHM — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 06:48:17 +0000

On Saturday we reported on the possible existence of a Kanye West sex tape and now apparently it just might true. It's been reported that Kanye West is loosing his sh*t over the situation and is trying to do anything to make sure the tape doesn't see the light of day. A law firm representing Kanye West has issued a takedown notice, surrounding controversial images stemming from a sex tape being shopped to various media outlets, from an anonymous source. We haven't received a take down notice yet, but I'm sure it's on it's way, so far they've already contacted AllHipHop.com, so I'm sure we're on the list and will eventually be contact while they're making their rounds. In a legal document to AllHipHop.com Lisa M. Buckley of Pryor Cashman says:

“Be advised that the Screen Shot, as well as the Tape from which the Screen Shot was taken, were illegally obtained and believed to have been stolen from Mr. West’s computer,”

She also added:

“Your posting, advertising, marketing, displaying and otherwise disseminating the stolen Screen Shot and/or other materials on the Tape constitute actionable violations of Mr. West’s rights of privacy and publicity,”

She also warned numerous social media outlets about posting the screenshot from the video:

“We hereby demand that you: (1) immediately cease and desist from posting, advertising, marketing, displaying and disseminating the illegally obtained Screen Shot of Mr. West,”

Yeezy's team is definitely going hard to take down any trace of the image and they are also doing overtime to track down the person behind shopping the tape around. The Pinterest of adult entertainment Sex.com has has already reportedly offered $1 million to the anonymous seller. Steve Hirsch, the big guy over at Vivid Videos who released Kim Kardasian's tape says Kanye's tape could be the most valuable ever sold on the market:

“It depends on the quality of the tape, the length, the lighting, the sex,” Hirsch said. “But something like this could go for a couple of million dollars. I don’t think there has ever been a sex tape with a star of this magnitude. Tommy Lee was big, but this is a different world and Kanye is a special guy. He’s everywhere.”

It might be too little too late for damage control, that tape will most likely see the light of day. And in the end it might be Kanye West who allows it to get out, someone will make an offer that he'll not refuse. Read more at AllHipHop

We've been getting allot of heat from Wiz Khalifa throughout the entire summer, all of which I'm still bumping right now. He's been building up allot of aniticipation for his sophomore debut O.N.I.F.C. and IHHM is definitely looking forward to the release. Here's what we've heard so far. Wiz Khalifa – Its Nothin (feat. 2 Chainz) Wiz Khalifa – Work Hard Play Hard (First official single) Wiz Khalifa – Oz’s & Lbs (feat. Chevy Woods & Berner) (Hard!) Wiz Khalifa – Telescope (feat. 50 Cent) (Ferrari F 50 showed up for this one) Wiz Khalifa – Different Cloth (feat. Busta Rhymes) (Busta goes ham as usually...Legit!!!) Wiz Khalifa – Far From Coach (feat. Game & Stat Quo) (This is fire) I'm not sure if all of these will be featured on O.N.I.F.C. project but this does serve as a indication of where Wiz is right now musically. Says Wiz:

"There was always a happy medium, It's just like I said, you gotta express those views and that's where I said I was at, at that point with me more or less having to express my views and make those stick." "It's nobody's problem or anything like that. That's just where we was at, at the time." "The album is completely done and that's what it was, just getting it all the way finished,You can just expect it to be more musical. All the elements that you're used to getting from a quote-unquote 'Wiz project,' you're gonna get every last one of those elements, whereas I feel like the first album lacked some of those elements."

You guys looking forward to that Wiz album?

T.I. Defends Lil Wayne’s NYC Comments, ”I Don’t Think He Meant Any Disrespect”

The Lil Wayne "Flat Out, I Don’t Like New York" comment left allot of NYC people feeling salty. It even inspired a diss record from the homie Donny Goines, and Fabolous even made it the topic of his chorus to his latest release "So NY." The half-cocked remark even provoked a response from Queens State Senator Malcolm Smith. The King T.I. in an interview with Hot97 said that people were taking what Weezy said too literally. T.I. told Angie Martinez:

"When I first came in the game, it was a feat for a Southern artist, let alone an Atlanta artist, to make his way up to Hot 97 and get himself mix show play, let alone...heavy rotation" "You gotta understand where a man coming from, I'm not saying I support anyone not liking New York. What I'm saying is, people who haven't gone through that process of having their freedom taken from you...you have to take all this into consideration." "I don't think he meant nothin' by it. I don't think he meant any disrespect"

I think most people have already forgotten about this, but I do believe his statement was taken out of context. Lil Wayne should think before he talks though.
