R.I.P Lil Wayne's Career

0 Rapper "Skillz" Recalls Meeting Kanye West

"Im like ” Who’s Kanye’? He’s like That Mos’s man. He got some shit. So then on the way to Hoboken he tells me the songs he did and how he’s not really like Jay and them but Jay & then dont fuck with him outside tracks. So I’m like ” Oh, from the Chi, he did H to The Izzo! I remember him from the video showing off his tattoo( for some reason that image was the only one I had). So we get there. An Apartment building and he’s sitting in front of a Roland 1680. A hard disk recorder. I had the same one I had let my man E borrow it. He had headphones on and was doing something with the machine. The apartment had records, sneakers, you know the usual shit. He asked me what kind of shit was I looking for and I told him what I tell every producer …” I don’t know, I just know it when I hear it.” So he played like 20 beats and I only really liked four. They all had samples in em and most of em where those sped up soul joints he used to do back in the day. Anyway he talked about music and this new Hov shit and mostly it was him and Howie talking. I wasnt saying much I was just chilling and cold..the heat wasnt on. Now I aint saying he didnt pay the bill..lol. Im just saying it was cold".

0 Swizz Beatz Producing On Eminem's New Album, Speaks on "Stan Part 2"

Another song Swizz worked on with Em is a track they're referring to as a "Stan Part 2." "You know how 'Stan' ... was the big [song]?" Swizz asked, referring to the obsessed-fan track which sampled Dido's "Thank You." "So I worked on part 2, and I think it was, like, totally genius."

Swizz said that while Eminem has apparently been away from the mic for a long time, he's in good form on Relapse. which, Em said on "TRL," will be out next year, in "probably January, February."

"It's different," Swizz said. "Different sound, different mindframe. He's clear. But it's the Eminem that you missed, that you loved, that you need, especially right now in the industry, going into '09. He's coming back to take the cake."

0 T.I and Shawty Lo's Entourages Fight At The Dirty Awards

Dirty Awards 2008 Battle Between T.I. and Shawty Lo from Gyant on Vimeo.

"As he was performing his hits such as "Dey Know" and "Dunn, Dunn," Lo said that members of Tip's Grand Hustle family, most notably artist Alfamega, came out of their seats, stood in front of the stage and started "mean mugging.'" (Click here for photos of T.I. and Shawty Lo from the Dirty Awards)

"Basically, I didn't start saying anything about Tip," Lo explained. "I was performing my music. During 'Foolish,' all of them was coming in front of the stage doing their mugging. After 'Dunn, Dunn,' I performed the dis record 'Don't I.' That's what made perform the dis record. I ain't gonna lie; they was disrespecting me. I wasn't gonna let them disrespect me."- Shawty Lo

As Lo rapped the barb-riddled track some eyewitnesses said Tip's crew started throwing chairs onstage. While Shawty said he cannot be sure who threw the first chair, he thinks it was Big Kuntry".

"...I don't try to cater to any particular person or style. I genuinely do what the fuck I want when I create. If I try to make "50 Cent" beats he probably wouldn't pick em. I also come from that era when dorks didn't run underground rap and shit was actually cool. I pretty much started doing underground stuff and I never changed my mentality when it comes to making beats. My beats just started getting used by mainstream artists. I'll never stop doin underground shit because that's my foundation. A lot of the new producers want to skip the steps and that's why they fall off".

"I just want thank everybody for their support. I'm at a listening session playing my joint for people in the UK. I love doing listening sessions cause I feel like Christmas Day where parents get to see kids opening up their gifts. Cause I feel like I try to give people good music. This album has been like basically based off the devastation and the hurt that I've felt within the last year with all the losses that I've gone through. It's kind of settling in being this super famous alien where every where I go someone wants a f**kin' photograph. It's hard when you're not really a celebrity, but you're a real person that just ended up being famous for your craft. What's good is that it's therapeutic for me, and it's a better option than suicide to just keep putting out music and art. Of course I got a lot of backlash for my medium that I wanted to do this in.

I created a thing I call Heartbreak. It's like a mixed drink of auto tune, distortion with a little bit of delay on it, and a whole bunch of life that I put onto records. That's what I call my heartbreak, and that's what every record basically has. I'm delivering what I feel is art and that's what I want to deliver at this point from now on. With records like "Love Lockdown", it might not have high hats and s**t like everything else has, but when I go out and be listening to Jimi Hendrix and the Stones and Lenny Kravitz, and they won't play no Hip Hop records in that. I feel like n***as be giving up on trying to make records on a Quincy Jones level. On this record I'm trying to improve my craft, and trying to push it to a level that no n***a has ever made it to. No n***as have ever rocked 50,000, 100,000 people stadiums ten years after their records came out. And for anybody that saw the tour, you know my goal is to take it a whole other level. Today we're about to drop one of the records that everybody's talking about, "Amazing" featuring Jeezy. It's definitely one of those joints in the club that's gonna go crazy, that's gonna send it up like with did with "Swagger", like we did with "Put On", and like we always do it this time. This is what my job is. My job is to give y'all s**t that has the model b***hes running crazy, and has n***as bobbing their heads crazy like "Can't Tell Me Nothin'" and "Flashin' Lights". Of course I always hit them with a curve to start off with. Y'all know that "Heartless", that's straight n***a s**t. The whole album you can rap over at the end of the day, but I'm trying to put on those Phil Collins' melodies. I feel even if I'm harmonizing, it's still from a n***a perspective. I ain't making no, 'girl, your nails are the perfect nails, you the perfect-' naw, this ain't none of that. This is still that rap perspective music with melody.

I came on this call to thank everybody for their support on "Love Lockdown" it sold over 100,000 on itunes thus far. B***hes love it and n***as love to watch b***hes dance to it...This album is really from my heart. It's an art project and I really appreciate everybody. For the people who are mad that I'm not rapping right now, thank you very much for allowing me to sit on this very therapeutic couch while I let this one off and get out what I need to get out. There's rumors that there's another album coming in June, I'm not going to put that pressure on myself. I'll probably come with another tour in June though. That's where I'm at in my life right now, and I really wanted to release this music and I forced L.A. to give me this release date. I was like, 'don't f**kin' wait months and months to try to set it up. Just give people the music.' I'm constantly making music. We're almost finished with Jay's album. We were almost finished before I even started making my album. Jay's album is coming in February, the new Wayne special packaging before Christmas. We got a new record on there together, so we still got a bunch of s**t coming. But I just said all of that to say thank you, and that's about it.

The label moved the [release date] up to get more Thanksgiving sales, and they called and told me to say I moved it up because of all the excitement. But I don't do that s**t. The label moved it up to try to get more sales and s**t. I'm excited about the album. Also, I gotta say "Robocop" is completely different on the album. "Anyway" is different and I did not leak those. I did not leak the "Heartless" video. The only s**t I leaked is "Heartless" and "Love Lockdown", those are the only joints I actually put out. I don't know who it is, but basically the label moved it up. They're trying to get more sales and s**t. If I get the sales, cool. If I don't, hey. I'll share the burden cause I've been a cocky motherf**ker and talked my s**t and all that, and people would love to see me not sale, but that's the way life is. Hopefully I can sell. We've been doing pretty good with the singles we've been dropping.

I got Jeezy on ["Amazing"]. Jeezy came down to Hawaii with us because anytime I'd write a chorus or write any type of hook, I'll be like, 'what would Jeezy do?' You know how people have stuff that say What Would Jesus Do? I say, What Would Jeezy Do? What would he say on this record. At the end of the day I make my s**t white tee shirt ready at all given times. So he came down and helped out, but he actually helped out with other records. So there are straight singing records that have Jeezy lines on it, and you'll feel that energy throughout the entire joint".

0 The Huffington Post Says 50 Cent can learn some things from John Mccain's Campaign

" As the presidential election gets down to the nitty-gritty, 50's new album campaign is starting to get serious. Before I Self Destruct is the rapper/actor's fourth full-length and set for release on the second Tuesday in December. Always atop the Hip-Hop Forbes List, the artist born Curtis Jackson made his millions on the back of corporate investments and more than his share of Rovian tactics. But if last year's "loss" to Kanye West -- when both artists released albums on the same day -- didn't teach 50 Cent anything, maybe the apparent tanking of McCain's campaign will".

"...Revealing A Little Vulnerability Does
Conversely, showing some humanity has boded well for two of Chicago's finest: Barack Obama and Kanye West. Today, showing weakness is not synonymous with being weak. From the Senator's speech in Philadelphia to the MC's penchant for self-deprecation, admissions of vulnerability are endearing fans and voters alike to those brave enough to take the once-precarious stand. In this recent video for MTV.com, 50 Cent seems genuinely amused/befuddled/astonished by a rap album about "love"...but doesn't he know that hope is the new black?

"Life can/will put it’s pressure on you at any given moment. Unfortunately, most people develop a negative thought association to pressure. For me, pressure is a positive because it means it’s a moment of transformation. Now stress I don’t like because stress causes things to break.

One key point to remember in your pressure moments is to be very mindful of what you’re comparing the moment to. Although it can always be better…it can always also be worse! That perspective is all up to you".

0 Vice President Of Def Jam found Dead ***RIP** Shakir Stewart

Via AllHipHop


Def Jam Executive Vice President, Shakir Stewart was found dead today (November 1), AllHipHop.com has learned.

While details are being confirmed, sources stated that Shakir's body was found about an hour ago in his New York apartment.

Stewart replaced Jay-Z's position at Island Def Jam and was named Executive Vice President of Def Jam Recordings in June of 2008.

Stewart began is career at Def Jam in 2004, as VP of A&R for the legendary label.

As A&R, he signed artists like Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and others.

Prior to working at Def Jam, Stewart worked for Hitco, where he signed Beyonce to a publishing deal and signed Ciara during his tenure at LaFace Records.

Shortly after signing with Def Jam, Stewart told AllHipHop.com that he was looking forward to signing a new, fresh crop of talent to the storied record label.

“My main thing is to keep supporting the artists that have cultural relevance, a message, a real fan base and that can touch the hearts of men and women,” Stewart told AllHipHop.com of his vision. “My commitment is to the artists of quality music and talent.”

Most recently, Stewart over saw the release of Young Jeezy’s latest album The Recession, LL Cool J’s Exit 13 and Nas’ untitled album.

“That's an honor for me because these are artists [whose careers] I've watched from day one. I remember buying ‘I Cant Live Without My Radio,’ ‘I Need Love’ and ‘Rock The Bells’ from LL, and Nas' Illmatic when that first came out. To be able to be a part of their careers now and work hand in hand with them in creating their albums now…this is [probably] Nas' most anticipated and controversial album ever…I'm for keeping the brand culturally relevant globally, coming in and being a part [from any standpoint] with a company that's had this type of history, recognition and respect is a huge honor and a challenge. I'm up to it, I'm a fan of the music and artists and I'm just passionate about it so I'm just ready to go.”
