0 Stat Quo To Leak Hundreds of Dr. Dre And Eminem Tracks??
As Posted on Rap Basement:
"It's been three and a half years since Stat Quo first signed to Eminem's Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath, yet he still hasn't released an album. Frustrated at waiting added to disagreements over singles, Stat Quo finally decided to leave. Now the Atlanta rapper plans to release all the music he did with Eminem and Dr. Dre".
“All that shit coming out,” he told HipHopDX. “Everything that I done rapped on, everybody gonna hear it. You can quote me on that. Everything that I done rapped on, I don’t care who did the beat…Everything that my voice on that I’ve done over these years with them, everybody gonna hear it. I’m just waiting on the right time to put it out…I’m talking about 300, 400 Dre [tracks]. I’m talking about 100 Em beats I’m spittin’ on…”

0 Dj Toomp Talks about Producing With Propellerheads Reason
If you arent familiar with Dj Toomp, he has worked with Kanye West,Jay-z,Nas,Young Jeezy and T.I just to name a few. He talks about the benefits of using Reason 4.0 and he talks about the tracks he has produced with Reason.
*Sidenote* I just recently got Reason 4.0 and Im currently learning how to use it. Be ware though, it has a huge learning curve, no matter how skilled you are at producing.

0 T.I Feat. Akon -Hero (With Dj)

0 Kanye West -Coldest Winter (Radio Rip)
This is the best track that has leaked so far, in my opinion. This is an emotional track, which is said to be dedicated to the late Donda West. I think I now understand what Kanye meant about how rating this album would be like rating a Grandmother's Love and how he "needed" to put this album out. You cant rate love, and this song is nothing more than a soundtrack to Kayne's emotions. Which would make sense for Kanye to feel a "need" to express his emotions. But enough rambling already,here is the track.

0 Yung Berg Exposes Neyo!!!
I must say that I have mixed feelings about this video..First Yung Berg gains 5 pts for finally responding to one of many people currently getting at him but he loses 10pts for it being NEYO!!! If you dont already know, on Big Boi's radio show, Neyo was asked who he would 3 three finger smack in the music industry. Neyo chose Yung Berg because he said Yung Berg was unoriginal and was biting Lil Wayne. Heres the video which sparked this whole thing below.
Anyways...the reason Yung Berg loses points in my book is because: you get beat up and robbed in Detroit, Smacked up in Atlanta, Give little response if any, but you decide to go full throttle at a RnB singer who talks about "what he WOULD do". I smell pussy, is that you Berg?

A rumor has been floating around the internet that 50 Cent and Eminem's new Cds will be packaged together as a "double cd". Im not sure if there is any truth to this rumor, but I think it would be a great marketing technique and it just may give the record indusrty a much needed boost in sales.

"Yes. It's me." He also added, "I never tried to hide my past. I put my name inside my cds. My company has my SS#. I could've put a company name... I done been up and I done been down and that's what makes me what I am. I never ratted on a nigga. I never prosecuted a nigga. I never locked up a nigga, that's first and foremost. I always felt that me being the nigga that I am, I never owed a nigga an explanation... When I'm making my music and I'm talking about blow, it's because I did it. When I say that I'm rich off cocaine, it's because i did it. Those are the street principals that apply."

1 Post Response: Kanye is CREATIVE!!!
Wow, I didn't even know that "Big Brother" and "Flashing Lights" were interpolated!!!
Anyway, there are 4 people who inspired me to make beats and thats Kanye West, Timbaland and the Neptunes. Kanye is the soul(pun intended) reason i started sampling and the reason I have such an appreciation for samples. You have to listen to the following instrumentals "Down and Out","Good life"
"The People", "Takeover" and there are so many more!! recycling is good for the enviroment!! lol. Without Yaye how many average hip-hop listeners would know who "shirley bassey" or "Steely Dan" is? I say Kanye is Creative!!!

0 Jim Jones Accuses Jay-z and T.I of "Jackin’ Swagger From Us"
"...And look at the Vibe cover. Tell me who Jay-Z looks like in there? Did you see the picture of him? With the Louis Vuitton scarf and all that. Who did that resemble? You can say it. But he did it wrong; he had a Gucci belt with a Louis Vuitton scarf. Who does that? You smell me? That’s like wearing one Nike and one Puma; how you going to get away with that? But I didn’t take the song as a shot, because I don’t feel like none [besides Weezy] of them possess any swag".
"I don’t feel like [T.I] possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, then they try and do it. You know people that dress like T.I.? You know people that go out and say let me get a T.I. outfit or do you know people who say “yo, you’re looking like Jim Jones?” Which one? Lemme hear it! When the bitches want to fuck you and the niggas want be like you, who got the swag? Niggas with money and fame always going to look like they doing something ’cause they got the camera in front of them. But the cool dudes always stick out no matter where they at".

0 New Danja Handz Interview With Remix Mag
“I like that cinematic sound,” he says. “I got a couple of tracks on Britney's [upcoming album] that sound like action sequences from The Mummy 3 [Tomb of the Dragon Emperor] or something, just bits and pieces of horn hits that make it sound dramatic. Long before I even knew what I was doing, I would have women tell me, ‘This is sexy.’ I'm in tune with certain chords that make you feel a certain way. I know how to grab your emotions. I know what to play in whatever order to bring those feelings forth. This is a universal language. I'm learning how to capture those feelings and inject them into my music. I'm learning how to make you feel what I feel.”
