Rapper Waka Flocka Flame, who recently recorded a video with P. Diddy, was arrested last week and he won?t be getting out any time soon. The rapper, whose real name is Juaquin James Malphurs, is on probation in Georgia for possessing a sawed-off shotgun. Cops say that he violated his probation by leaving the state. Waka is being held without bail at the Houston County Jail until he is scheduled to make his court appearance in a few weeks. It seems that the only good thing going for him right now is that his song ?O Let?s Do It? is moving up the charts.
Lil Wayne has finally been sentenced and has started his one-year prison term this Monday for attempted gun possession. It was originally delayed so that the rapper could undergo eight root canals and again delayed after a fire broke out in the Manhattan Criminal Court Building. Last I heard, Lil Wayne was still undergoing medical exams but a New York corrections offer explains how the rapper?s time will be in jail. ?He’ll be housed with inmates who are classified in his category, and he’ll be able to be a regular inmate. He’ll be able to watch television, go into the day room and congregate with people of his classification. He’ll have no preferable treatment at all. He’ll be treated like a regular inmate.?
The self-proclaimed greatest rapper alive, Lil Wayne, became audience-proclaimed most bullshit rapper alive when he stood up 8,000 fans at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York recently. After he found the sound system not up to his standards, the rapper excused himself from teh show along with co-headliner Piles. What a diva! Fans were promised a refund though. Fellow rapper Ludacris came to the show?s rescue as best he could despite the bad sound system. His set was reportedly smooth and professional proving that someone who isn?t the world?s greatest can overcome less than stellar equipment. And by the way, Eminem was proclaimed the world?s greatest rapper alive.
Alicia Keys made comments about ?gangsta rap? in an interview with Blender magazine which she says were misinterpreted. The 27-year old singer was quoted in saying ?Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didn?t exist.? What a conspiracy theory, huh? In a statement issued by J Records, Alicia now says ?My comments about `gangsta rap? were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music. The point that I was trying to make was that the term was oversloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive.?
Apparently, not only is rapper DMX crazy as the day is long but he?s also living in another galaxy. The rapper recently did an interview with XXL that can be described as nothing less than bizarre. DMX claims that he has never heard of anyone named Barack Obama and even proceeded to make fun of the presidential candidate?s name. Pfft, like the name DMX is ingenious. The rapper continued to dig a hole for himself saying he hasn?t followed the presidential race at all and said that ?The president is a puppet anyway. The president don’t make no damn decisions.? Luckily, DMX is not allowed to vote because he?s a convicted felon.
Hip hop producer, rapper and now, actor. will.i.am has been cast to play Kestrel/John Wraith in the new ?X-Men Origins: Wolverine? movie which is set for release next year. According to Wiki, the character he?s playing was part of Team X along with Wolverine, Sabretooth, Maverick, Mastodon, and Silver Fox. Kestrel is a powerful teleporter capable of getting the team out of sticky situations after their job was finished. His alter ego is John Wraith. Like the other members of Team X, he was given an artificial age suppressant so he was likely much older than he looked. His time as a secret agent and a member of the Weapon X program has left John somewhat paranoid. His house is a veritable death trap, as is the yard around it – John trusts no one.
This was perhaps my favorite moment of the Grammys, although Beyonce and Tina Turner rocked. Rihanna and Jay-Z won for best rap/song collaboration for “Umbrella”.
When the two made it up on stage, Rihanna made it clear that SHE was there to accept the award. As Jay-Z approached her side at the microphone, she held up a hand and kept him at a distance while she made her speech.
Nice way to thank the person who helped you win, huh?
It has been revealed that rap star Eminem didn?t have such a Merry Christmas after being rushed to hospital suffering from a heart condition. Real name Marshall Mathers, the star spent time in a Detroit hospital before returning home to recover.
It seems that the ?Slim Shady? isn?t so slim anymore ? with the formerly skinny rapper?s weight spiralling; I doubt that this could have aided any heart condition. At 5ft 8in pushing 14st 7lb is heavy going.
Add that to the recent problems of the past few years and its not surprising his blood pressure is rising. Marshall has battled drug addiction and has been in and out of rehab. His volatile marriage to Kim ? married, divorced, married, on the rocks ? can?t have helped either.
Foxy Brown got out of punitive segregation, otherwise known as solitary confinement, with good behavior but she still has to stay more than 6 months in jail.
The rapper recently had an in-house interview with Metro and told the newspaper ?I?m a survivor. It?s been very hard, but I believe God uses circumstances to develop your character. I know coming out of this I?m going to be a much stronger person. Even upon my arrival, I never had a choice. I was always on lockdown. That?s what people don?t understand? I?m much smarter now. I know how to dodge and weave.?
If you have Jermaine Dupri saying F you to you, just say F you right back. The music producer wrote a very impassioned and misguided essay about the state of the music business. And coming from one of the producers who can be considered a mogul already, it makes me sick.
Not only did it clearly show his lack of appreciation for the people that buy his music, but he also looks at iTunes as a big evil monster. Janet Jackson?s main squeeze thinks that albums should be sold as a whole and consumers shouldn?t have the option to buy songs individually like we can on iTunes.
Well at least we buy a song instead of downloading them illegally!
Rapper Kanye West was scheduled to perform at tonight?s Victoria’s Secret fashion show but had to cancel a number of appearances due to the tragic loss of his mother Dr. Donda West. Black Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am will step up and fill in for Kanye for the big show. Keep the faith Kanye, I lost my mother a couple months ago in a similar situation and its not easy but be strong and I know you can be. Just remember God always and morals and values your mother taught you. And that?s very nice of all those who try and fill up for the professional commitments of people who cannot under such circumstances fulfill theirs. Some people like the organizers are very though on singers or be it any other field that what may come they have to fulfill their commitments, in such case when you do not have the mental strength to stand on stage and deliver it?s better to ask a friend to fill into your shoes.
What do rappers do when they are denied entry despite being so crunk? Get wild of course!
Two rappers were denied entry to Chris Brown?s album release party earlier in the week. In response to the treatment, they tore up the place in protest.
Juelz Santana and Jim Jones both tried to get into the party at Tenjune only to get shut out. The reason for the shut out is unknown but is most interesting because both have collaborated with Chris before.
Cops soon arrived at the scene per request of the club and Tenjune shut itself down which left stars at the party like Tyrese, Lil Mama and Sean Kingston with nowhere to celebrate temporarily.
The chart-topping multi-platinum hip-hop dynamos Bow Wow and Omarion have joined forces to create a new collaborative collection that promises to become one of the major musical events of 2007. Bow Wow-Omarion project, Faceoff, in stores December 11th.
While details of the Bow Wow-Omarion project remain under wraps, the new album marks the culmination of a joint collaborative process dating back to 2005. “Me and O have been trying to put this together for so many years, and now we’ve got the opportunity to do it,” Bow Wow told Billboard.com earlier this month. “We’re in the creative process right now, coming up with ideas daily, so the process is real smooth. We’re anxious to make this whole thing happen. It’s gonna be a special event. It’s gonna be crazy, something the people have been waiting on — the girls have been waiting on — for years.
Omarion shares his best friend’s enthusiasm for the as-yet-unnamed project. “This isn’t about money, this is about music,” says Omarion. “We both started young and have grown up together, working on the same tours, and have developed our identity in the music world. Jay-Z and R Kelly was the first big R&B/Rap combo, and we have great respect for them and have been inspired by them, but we still want to create something we can call our own. We just want to do our own thing. We want to have a great time and make good music for our fans. This is gonna be fun, so ‘World, Watch out! We’re coming!’”
Blake Lewis is the popular runner-up on the sixth season of American Idol. Born in Redmond, Washington, Lewis started singing at age five and competed in statewide talent contests while in high school. He became a beat-boxer at 17, inspired by the then Seattle-based a cappella group M-Pact. Lewis was a member of the Pacific Northwest a cappella group Kickshaw for four years. He also recorded several music videos and wrote a number of original songs.
After “American Idol,” Lewis signed to 19 Recordings / ARISTA Records and started working on his debut album with a stellar line-up of producers and songwriters. Among the producers were Jonathan “JR” Rotem, who has worked with Rihanna (on her No. 1 single “SOS”) and Sean Kingston; Ryan “Alias” Tedder, who has worked with Timbaland; and S*A*M & Sluggo, who have worked with two of the year’s biggest new artists, Gym Class Heroes and Boys Like Girls.
Lewis’ debut album, Audio Day Dream (A.D.D), will be released on December 4. “Break Anotha” is the first single off the album.
Just when Hurricane Chris had snatched the focus away from Atlanta to his home state of Louisiana with the summer chant “A Bay Bay,” Atlanta teen DeAndre Way (aka Soulja Boy) arrives to consolidate some of the great moves from the likes of Dem Franchize Boyz and Yung Jock into a new dance and its accompaniment. “Crank That,” the result is climbing the chart and, due to the appeal of the dance, is picking up some high profile fans along the way. It’s thoroughly enjoyable while it’s hot and ultimately forgettable a year from now.17-year-old DeAndre Way (aka Soulja Boy) seems to have worked his way through the halls of the recording industry on sheer chutzpah and talent. After taking to the internet and MySpace in particular, Soulja Boy was signed by Mr. Collipark, of Ying Yang Twins fame, and ended up with distribution of his first single by Interscope. It’s no surprise “Crank That” rose to the top when you see Soulja in action on his various videos. The dance accompanying the whisp of a song is fun to watch and do and just complicated enough that learning it is an achievement.
“Crank That” is not only appealing to young fans. It has caught the attention of some top artists as well.
The rapper from Queens, Nas, has raised some eyebrows and a lot of blood pressures when it was announced that he plans to name his new album ?Ni**er?. And he is still standing by that decision. Somebody has to stop this guy.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, he said that his last album ?Hip Hop is Dead? was to have the controversial title but said that the time wasn?t right yet. Nas then goes on to describe his decision to name his upcoming album the N-word. If it?s not controversial enough, he describes it like this: ?It?s like talking to your child about sex. It?s hard but it?s important.?
Legally embattled rapper TI is a free man once again. A federal judge released him on $3 million bail on Friday. $2 million in cash bond and $1 million in property. He?s not fully free though because TI must remain under house arrest until his trial on weapons charges.
A spokesman for the US Attorney?s Office has confirmed that a private monitoring company will reside at TI?s home and that the rapper will have to subject to drug, alcohol and weapons searches at their discretion. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman was the one who ordered the 24 hour monitoring of TI and that TI is actually the one who?s supposed to pay for the monitoring service.
TI is only allowed to leave his home for medical appointments and court appearances.
T.I. may not be able to defend himself to the press because he?s in jail but his fellow rappers are speaking up for him about his recent legal troubles and even offering some words of advice for the troubled rapper.
Common says that T.I. should continue to pray saying ?Know that God is with you. Know that He knows what the truth is and the truth is going to allow you to get out and be alright.? But what if he actually did it?
Wu Tang Clan co-founder RZA also had some words about T.I.?s troubles saying ?One of my security guards said ?Don?t you ever buy a gun, because you can afford all the security.?? They should have given T.I. that piece of advice long ago.
Diddy may be a lot of things but he?s not a deserter. Rap mogul Sean ?P. Diddy? Combs has finally owned up to fathering his sixth child, 15-month old Chance.
Chance is his daughter with Atlanta-based baby mama Sarah Chapman. The woman who is said to be the major factor for the breakup between Diddy and his longtime girlfriend and other baby mama Kim Porter. Diddy has 10-month old twins with Kim and then there?s 15-month old Chance. Do the math.
Diddy originally denied that Chance was really his for more than a year because he was lacking DNA evidence. But now that it?s proven, he said that ?I will take care of her for the rest of her life.?
Philadelphia cops are saying that rapper Beanie Sigel is headed back into the slammer once again. The rapper who?s had several run ins with trouble is in hot water this time for theft and unauthorized use of an automobile. He has allegedly held on to a rental car for over three months now!
According to the police, Beanie rented a car in Southwest Philadelphia in late July even though his license was suspended. Add to that, he failed to return the car. The rental company continued to charge his credit card and finally reported the car stolen last month.
The car was finally returned on October 5 just as police were headed to Beanie?s home to arrest him.
Hip-hop sensation Soulja Boy is back at the top of the U.S. pop charts after displacing Kanye West a week after the Stronger hit maker toppled him. Soulja Boy’s Crank That (Soulja Boy) spent two weeks at number one earlier this month but fell to two last week as West scored a brief chart double by claiming top spots on the Billboard album and singles charts. I said it time and again and please allow me the liberty to once again push my point that I always love it when a no-namer comes and pulls the rug under the feet of a well established super well known singer who has been crowned as a best selling singer time over time. That?s what pumps me up, get the adrelin following and make you that there is a time when the young guns find the ammunition and the artillery to fire and displace a top notch singer or anyone in any field. I do not why I am connecting so much to his success but then that?s what dreams are made of, you think if he can then so can I!
Way to go man, bust up these big ass losers.
He?s retired, got out of retirement, retired again and now he?s getting out again. Jay-Z is going to drop a new album in November which is said to be inspired by a movie.
The rap superstar and president of Def Jam Records quietly went back into the studio with songs inspired by the film ?American Gangster?. This is his first concept album and second effort in less than a year. The album came together a few weeks after Jay-Z was shows the film starring Denzel Washington and directed by Ridley Scott.
With the underwhelming reception for his last disc and his troubles with Def Jam, this tie-in with the movie may just be his chance for a strong rebound. Good luck!
The showdown has come to Rolling Stone magazine?s cover. Kanye West and 50 Cent are featured on the latest cover of the magazine highlighting the fact that their albums would be dropping on the same date of September 11th in less than a week.
There?s an accompanying article entitled ?Who Will Be the King of Hip Hop?? where 50 pretty much talks Kanye down. 50 says that he had the highest-selling LB of 2003 and his 2005 released was the second-highest-selling album of that year. He goes on to compare Jay-Z?s recent sales to segue into saying that Kanye is merely a worker bee for Jay-Z and that Kanye can never generate as much interest.
Rapper Eve is struggling to get used to her alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet. The hip-hop star was ordered to wear the SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring) after striking a plea agreement for her DUI arrest in April. But she admits it has not been easy. Yeah now she gets the thing, gulping down Heineken beer and more of alcohol beverages do not get you any awards just an ankle bracelet that is with in even when you go to bed. How irritating can that be, well I won?t like to have one for my self and that?s coz in do not drink alcohol as for Eve she?s made her choice her cannot leave the booze so she?s made friends with the ankle bracelet. Now what would be a nice thought for her is that she should be made to wear the bracelet in a position above her footwear so that we all can have a glimpse for that beautiful thing that she?s carrying with her right now.
Kanye West considers a certain ”SexyBack” singer his biggest rival. ”My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake,” the 29-year-old rapper tells. ”He’s the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level – black radio, white radio.” What ever color of Radio he his more interested in this is in quite sometime that I have ever seen him talk something sensible and respectful about his competition. Yes true we all need some one to push us beyond our known limits and that?s when we probably get to see what we actually made of ? mud or steel. Some just can?t stand the pressure and fade off into deep darkness and others rise to the occasion and gradually fulfill unthought-of dreams and ambitions. Well may be its another salvo that West has fired at Justin asking him to up the ante as he is prepared for a long battle for supremacy.
Rapper M.I.A. slips a modern history lesson about the plight of Sudanese refugees in Darfur into her latest single – to make sure the topic stays alive. The British born Sri Lankan star is passionate about raising awareness of the destruction of war in Sudan, and hope she can educate her fans. These are the kind of rappers the world needs and needs to have more of, it makes no sense screaming at 10-15 decibels points and shouting out crap of which half cannot be understood and half is not worth understanding. Lyrics should be inspiring and something what can be termed as awesome. M.I.A. I haven?t heard of her till date but surely if there is some meaning in her songs then I would be playing it on my Bose music system. There a moral duty that these celebs always avoid and never give importance to the ill happening of our world, so if she think she needs to do some good and bring international attention to the grim situation and I cast my vote for her. What does M.I.A. stand for by the way?
Last week, rappers UGK released their perennially delayed seventh album, Underground Kingz. The act, composed of longtime friends Chad “Pimp C” Butler and Bernard “Bun B” Freeman, hadn’t released an album’s worth of new material since 2002′s somewhat thrown-together Side Hustles collection ? an album that debuted at #70 on Billboard’s albums chart with 14,800 copies scanned during week one. This a nice jump from their previous release as the previous release debuted at 70 and this one has debuted at #1. But while Pimp C spent four years behind bars on assault charges, UGK’s legend and influence grew ? and the duo’s first new album in five years scanned almost 160,000 copies last week, making Underground Kingz the group’s first #1 on the Billboard albums chart.
Earlier in the week, 50 cent said that he?s going to stop putting out solo records if his arch rival Kanye West?s new album outsells his when they drop on the same day next month. Get ready with your retirement plans 50.
They might be getting equal promotion at the very top of the iTunes store but Kanye is still outselling 50 when it comes to pre-orders. Kanye is up at #3 on the iTunes Top Albums chart while 50 is only at #9. On the singles chart, Kanye?s kick-off song ?Stronger? is at #2 while 50?s ?Ayo Technology? is at #10.
It seems that not even Justin Timberlake?s collaboration could help 50. Game over.
The best of the best got together on TRL last Tuesday as Timbaland, Kanye West, Robin Thicke, Rihanna and Chris Brown announced the nominees for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Justin Timberlake and Beyonce led the pack of nominees with seven nominations each. Kanye West and Rihanna both earned five nominations and Amy Winehouse came out with three. A list of performers were also announced. Performers will include Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Amy Winehouse, Chris Brown, The Foo Fighters and Rihanna. The VMAs will air live from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on September 9th.
With that list of nominees and performances, it will look to be a solid show. I?m watching!
