Rick Ross Story & Interview about Deeper Than Rap part 1

This is some pretty interesting stuff. Let's see what he says about the CO thing. If you haven't listened to his new album, take it from me, it's one of the best albums of "08 right now. Is it better than the Jadakiss album hmmmmmmmm. That's a tuff one.

Buffie The Body New Tell All Book

You know what they say.. when the chips get low, you got to do whatever it is to get that money up. Buffie tried screwing, getting butt injections, sucking on Kay Slay Di%$ and who knows what else. Now since her back is against the wall she drops an Tell All Book? I wonder how many rappers are about to get dimed out??

Kanye Weest Ft. Young Jeezy

Looks like someone ruffled Flex's feathers. It appears to be someone by the name of Nino over at Interscope.com. Flex Vows to not play any music coming from Interscope records. Funk Flex claims that Banks and Yayo are off the label and 50's album is being shelved on purpose. Listen to the clip...

Eminem's Relpase Album Cover

I'm not really sure what this album cover has to do with the term "Relapse" but I guess it's cool for what it is. The few couple of joints I heard from his upcoming album sounded super-wack so I'm really hoping he doesn't fall off like a lot of rappers have done this past couple of years.

Julian Marley...Following the Marley Legacy

Big up to Brent from Icedmedia for this one!

Julian Marley is looking to carry on the family legacy with a fire album.

Julian Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Barbados-born Lucy Pounder, is a naturally talented musician, singer, songwriter, and entertainer. As you would expect, this tall, slender Marley is a devout Rastafarian whose music is inspired by life and spirituality. His positive messages are delivered throughoutAwake,a thought-provoking album compiled on the Ghetto Youths International label. Recorded at the Lions Den in Miami, Florida, and Tuff Gong in Kingston, Jamaica, the music and message presented throughoutAwakeis inspired by all the family who have come before. Julian explains, There is spiritual energy from the ancestors in this album."

Check out his new single "Boom Draw"

Jay-Z on the Cover of Highschool Text Books?

Jay-Z is now being taught in high school History classes across this great nation. Ok maybe not literally, but Jay’s face is now oddly on the cover of the text book “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano” which is used in classes and has absolutley nothing to do with Jay-Z. In fact the book is about a Nigerian who goes through a series of quests “rooted in the cultural, spiritual, economic, religious and political customs” of his culture. NOW I see how it’s related to Jay-Z. Do I see a lawsuit coming? Via woooha.com

Maybe the lips and the camel head give it away.

Young Berg is the New Bobby Brown??

If I was this girls father I would woop her ass as soon as I saw this. Damn the young generation is so damn bold these days.

Shockingly, young Burg does have a strong amount of female fans! Maybe because he makes that lolipop music.

Big ups to Skyzoo and here is a special download just for you....

Yay to the people. Ashton Kutcher beats Big time media mogul CNN for the 1MM followers on Twitter contest! This may not seem like a big deal to some of the people out there, but this is a huge victory for the Man Vs Giant principle. Although Ashton is not just an average Joe it shows that we as the people still have more power over the people than the media does. Man Vs Machine. Big ups to Ashton, and I wonder what is next. A Million followers equates to a platinum album?? hmmmmmmm...........

Read the Story...

Actor Ashton Kutcher beat mass media giant CNN early Friday morning (April 17) in a challenge to become the first Twitterer to amass one million followers.

Although they both reach the mark, Kutcher (Twitter.com/alpusk) hit the million followers goal about 30 minutes before CNN (Twitter.com/CNNbrk).

Ashton at 2:13 a.m. ET, and CNN at 2:42 a.m. ET.

In a live webstream, as he neared the winning post, the actor -- sporting a upturned Panama hat -- described the race as the "establishment" versus "we the people."

Kid Kudi Gets Distribution Deal With Universal Motown

Those of you might be thinking... oh I though Kid Kudi was Kanye's artist and you are absolutely right. He is signed to G.O.O.D. Music which is Kany's label, but now, he got Universal Motown to distribute his album which is a beautiful thing because now Kanye doesn't have to come out the pocket for it lol.

Big move for Kid Kudi... but is he hot? or will he flop??? I have to hear more tracks before I become a fan.

Check out story off of Ballerstatus...

After the runaway success of his single "Day N Nite" on radio, rapper Kid Cudi announced this week that he has signed a deal with Universal Motown.

"Kid Cudi is at the vanguard of a game-changing new generation of artists," said Sylvia Rhone, label president. "He crosses musical boundaries with an appeal that goes beyond genre, format, race, language, and culture. Cudi lives easily in the hip-hop, indie rock, pop, and R&B worlds -- a diversity that shows in his innovative music and his all-embracing persona.

Fergie Butchers The National Anthem

How many of you think Fergie can sing?? I think she might be considered one of those studio singers, because from her live performances, her voice is nothing special, and honestly, Will I Am made her hot! I'm guessing Obama's daughters requested to have Fergie sing.

New Video: Joe Budden "Exxxes"

This joint is one of the hotter joints on the album. If you haven't purchased that "Padded Room" album you are really missing out on a dope album. I wasn't too much of a Joe Budden fan before the album dropped, but I must say it has a lot of solid substance and great lyrics.

Truth Wristband Kit

Big ups to Broccolicity for this one!

A wearable device that dynamically reflects your psycho-emotional response to the world, promoting internal states to be externalized and made into interactive forms of expression. Measuring the galvanic skin response (a marker of emotional arousal commonly used in lie detector tests), this device’s lights turn from blue to red as the wearer becomes aroused. Ask the wearer an evocative question and reveal his or her inner Truth.

Pretty soon every chick is going to have this in the household to test their man with every now and the.

Fat Joe Explains 50 Cent Diss (Video)

Fat Joe throws shots at 50 big time on Mafia Music Remix. If you ask me, I think Fat Joe should focus on selling more records, rather than focus on 50 again.

I think we both know that this song is an instant hit!! I have a feeling that these dudes are going to sell a lot of records this time around.

The Super Cracker does it Again

Bill O'Reilly aka the "Super Cracker" is back at it again insulting anyone that puts out Hip Hop music, but this time he is going at another fellow white man, Eminem. Although to him Eminem is pretty much a black man because he makes Urban music. O'Faggot had a lot to say about Eminem. Check this out...

Eminem raised a lot of eyebrows when he released the first video from his upcoming Relapse album earlier this week. While fans laughed, enjoyed or criticized the rapper's comeback music video, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly was just plain disgusted by Em's references to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

On Wednesday night (April 8), O'Reilly took to his show "The O'Reilly Factor" to smash the rapper, calling the jab at Palin an "attack".

"Few Americans take the vile rapper Eminem seriously," O'Reilly said on his show. "He represents the lowest form of entertainment in this country and is a publicity hound to boot."

In O'Reilly's "Personal Story" segment, he took issue at a few bars of Eminem's latest song, "We Made You," slamming him as a misogynist. More

Dr. Dre’s Daughter Releases Controversial Documentary Titled ‘Daddy’s Shadow’

Apparently Dr. Dre's daughter is an aspiring rapper and never had daddy's approval, so she mad a documentary showing the hardships she has coming out in the industry despite her father being a super producer who releases albums once every 10 years. Check out the clip I pulled from ballerstatus.com

Dr. Dre's daughter Manaj has recently released a brand new documentary titled "Daddy's Shadow," which follows her as she struggles to make it in the music biz despite the benefit of having the superproducer as a father.

According to Manaj, her powerful father doesn't support her dream of becoming one of the next female forces in the genre of hip-hop, but she's pursing it anyway.

"You tell me you don't want me to rap, but you're out here helping everybody else," Manaj asked in the trailer for the documentary. more

Universal Music Group, YouTube Partner On New Music Video Site

Looks like labels are starting to hop on the Youtube bandwagon. "If You Can't Beat Them... Join them"!

Big ups to ballerstatus.com for this one. The revolution will not be televised.

Universal Music Group (UMG) is reportedly teaming up with viral video sharing giant YouTube for an online music video venture set to launch later this year, which will include the music label's entire catalog.

According to the Associated Press, the new venture is called Vevo, where YouTube will supply the technological expertise, while UMG will supply the content. The companies will then share ad revenue.

The site appears that it will only feature content from artists UMG represents. However, Universal's top exec Doug Morris said, via a conference call, that they are in negotiations with other labels to hop onboard. UMG is the largest of the four top recording company in the music biz. Read more

Asher Roth ft. Beanie Siegal "Perfectionist"

I would never in a million years would see this duo happen. Tell you the truth I don't see all the fuss about Asher, he is cool, but I don't think he is that nice. If he was black, would there still be a fuss? Click on the picture to listen to the track.

Both Cassies Have A New Hairstyle

Do you see anything wrong with this picture? We have both Cassie Ventura Aka Diddy's Smash-piece and Cassie Davis aka the White Whore. They both decided to shave the right side of their heads. I think Cassie is a real bad chick, but after seeing this.... she actually looks stupid as hell. I think it works for the white chick though.

Big up to Rap-up.com for this one.

Kanye's "Amazin" Video on the Way

Appreciation Shout Out From Hawaii from kwest on Vimeo.

Let me first of all say the Air Yeezy's are one the ugliest shoes on the way!

Nas - "Sly Fox" Fox 5 Diss

Chris Brown In Court Footage

I can;t beleive the homie is pleading not guilty to the beating the shyt out of Rihanna. It's crazy watching this dude's career slipping away little by little.

Lil Scrappy Is Now Reppin DTP!

I can't say I have ever been a big fan of Lil Scrappy's music at all, but I always though that he had an incredible amount of hustle. His fanbase is pretty strong as well. One thing about Lil Scrappy is that he stays doing a lot of shows down south so we know he isn't starving!

Big up to ballerstatus.com for this one...

Scrappy, one of Lil Jon's first signings to his BME Recordings, has recently inked a deal with Luda's DTP Records where he'll release a new album, and bring his whole G's Up camp with him.

"We're just excited to sign him because he's been in the game for a long time and he never got the shot he needed to get," Jeff Dixon, co-CEO of DTP, said, reports MTV. "He has exciting music. ... He brings another dynamic to our label. We're adding another dimension."

According to MTV, Scrappy's next album will be out by September, and Ludacris will serve as a co-executive producer. Additionally, Scrappy could be featured on a probable DTP tour this summer. Until then, though, he'll be dropping mixtapes, appearing on albums from Luda and DTP labelmate Willy Northpole and shooting a film.

Video: Jadakiss & LOX, Diddy, Nas - 106 & Park

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Diddy screw LOX over on their publishing. It actually makes you wonder why Diddy is helping them promote??? Maybe cause he still owns some of the publishing!

Lil Wayne Presents Young money in "Every Girl"

Big up to my homie J Millz it's good to see that he finally jumped out of that whole battle rap scene to the limelight! This song is pretty cool.

Eminem New Video "We Made You"

I just don't know about this one Em. I understand how he his first single is always a little corny song, but I used to think that his lyrics were still a little witty with those songs. This one just sounds like he is trying a little too hard.

It's good to see that Eminem is back though.

Beanie Sigel And Son Into Nascar

Looks like Beanie is getting old and calming down these days. Check him out on this non-chalant interview and showing that he is a loving father.

The Kick Drums "When I Come Down"

Since the Kick Drums just happen to be good friends of mine, I decided to post a cut off their upcoming freshmen album. I like spaced out music like this!

The Kickdrums are responsible for some of 50's hits off the massacre. As a matter of fact you can google them and get familiar.

GLC Ft Kanye West "Big Screen"

Is it me or does this dude sound a little bit like Slim Thug.
I personally do not think anything is special about this song besides the meaning and the concept. Which is brings up the fact that there are not a lot of chicks you can bring to an industry party that won't act groupeish. Trust me I know!!

Young Jeezy Is The Recession

One thing you got to respect about Jeezy is that he is really about the gutta. He could have decided to come out with another commercial single, but instead he keeps it gangsta like usual. With his Ex girl Keyshia Cole on the hook, this song is flawless, and I really love when a dude comes out with a unconventional single in today's history. Big up to one of the realest rappers in the game!

Oh by the way peep how he does an ill twist to Jigga's work in his last verse!

Asher Roth "How Does It Feel" (Parody)

Hhahaha this dude has a lot of nerve

Omarion Sex Tape On The Way

Big up to Gossiponthis for this one!!

This recession is real people. Despite the fact that there’s a clear void in the “young, dancing, male R&B singer” world, Omarion is apparently trying his damndest to revive his career. It’s obvious dude can slide in right about now and steal a certain someone’s coveted spot quicker than you can say O, but according to The YBF, home boy is about to leak a sex tape with his bi-sexual wife. And her girlfriend is supposedly the one holding the camera. SMH…

If there were any way on this planet to squash those rumors of him playing Butt Pirates with Bow Wow every now and then, we suppose this would be the route to go, although we admit it is a pretty drastic move. And then there were those Chris Stokes rumors. So we agree … dude does have a lot of house to clean, if you know what we mean. Whatever gets the bills paid, right?

If you ever find yourself in the Brooklyn area and are looking for some great Thai food for cheap, then just ask about Sea!

Kiss, Busta & Bun B Cover The New Source

I'm surprised that the Source is still in business. That magazine has deffinately had it's ups and down, and I would say the Microphone ratings are pretty much out the window. It still looks like they get some heavy hitters to place on their covers. I wonder how much they pay for it.

Oh by the way, I heard that Jadakiss album and all I have to say is.... HE FINALLY BROUGHT NEW YORK BACK!!!!

If you are a fan of real hip hop do yourself a favor and buy that album!!!

Beyonce ft. Kanye West "Ego Remix"

Of course who better to rap over the song Ego than the big head himself. Kanye West.
