TODAY'S RUMORS!
MAINO SLAPS SOMEBODY?
Aw man. Maino is a mean guy, from what I heard. Plus he’s trying to steal my wannabe girlfriend, Mya. But rumor has it, Maino slapped somebody that we all know and love New York. Now, I cannot say the person’s name, because they are nice. When I say nice, I mean they are working with AHH on the College Tour and I just cannot report this news unless somebody like Maino wants to own up to it. Maino should just tell me directly. J Anyway, I don’t know who would approach Maino with beef, knowing that he knocked out Lil Cease, but…whomp, whomp? I don’t know.
SPEAKING OF COLLEGE
Last night, Clark Atlanta University hosted a ball dance/concert that was put in conjunction with the AllHiphop College Tour. I wasn’t there, but my CAU crew told me how it all went down. so I heard Yung Berg, Maino, Young Dro, Young L.A, Big Kuntry King, Yung Steff, Slim of 112, RIPPED IT! Now, on top of that, our good friends Killer Mike and Lloyd popped up as special guests for the evening. Did I mention T-Pain? Well, from what I heard T-Pain killed it and performed WAY over his time! He performed all types of songs, and brought out Taz Dizm & Dollar. Nice!
FRONTING ON DMX!?!
You all know Dame Grease, right? Grease is the acclaimed producer that truly helped bring DMX to the forefront at a rapper. Well, recently…you know, the last few months…Dame was reportedly going to work on DMXs new CD. Clearly, X is having some issues with courts, drugs and the police, but rumor has it Grease just dropped a bomb. The Vacant Lot producer has reportedly withdrawn all support for the Dog. This withdrawal comes mostly in the form of his beats, I heard. So, Dame won't be around when DMX makes his big comeback.
MORE RUMORS ON BLUEPRINT 3
SOOOOOOO…its official, that tracklisting for Jay-Z’s new CD is wrong. I heard there might be some facts to the Coldplay song, but mostly its all off. Now, Kanye has – as advertised – most of the album. I heard Kanye really steps out of himself to offer fresh and new sounds. Timbaland was supposed to be doing it and then Kanye passes a beat CD with these incredible sounds and its game over. I heard a couple of different things. I heard the Blueprint 3 is finished or almost finished. Also, I heard Jay and Ye worked on both of their CDs while in Hawaii. Attempts to talk Kanye out of all the vocoder/autotune proved futile. Now, Jay is reportedly getting quite alternative with it as they are expected to feature Santogold, Cee-Lo (as a singer) and some other non-rappers on the circuit. From what I heard, the general tone of the CD isn’t really reflected on “jockin Jay-Z,” but will be a genre bending, ground breaking experience.
JAY-Z’S BOO WRITES A LETTER
“I wanted to address my fans about my upcoming album.
I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old. I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18.”
Love,
Beyoncé
BEANIE SIGEL BREAKDOWN
I can honestly say, I don’t know where this originated. Beanie Sigel had a rumored breakdown. Beanie got the Holy Ghost, the rumors said. However, Beans let it be known that those rumors were just that – rumors! The State Property rapper was supposed to speak to the Ricky Smiley Morning Show about a race. The only thing is, Beans didn’t make it for family issues. When it all went down, Beans was asked about a religious breakdown that never happened. Beans did go to a religious event, but he didn’t experience any breakdown. Beans doesn’t break.
HIP HOP HONORS...RED CARPET STYLE
Okay so the taping for the 5th annual VH1 Hip Hop Honors took place last night in NYC...the show will air on Monday on VH1 and although from what I heard the show was only 'okay' the red carpet was poppin! The homey Kendra G and World's #1 'Blind' DJ Touchtone covered the red carpet and from what Kendra G told me it was like a class reunion! Kevin Liles, Busta Rhymes, Krs 1, Naughty by Nature, MC Lyte, Joi Bryant, Flavor Flav, EMPD, The Roots, Juelz Santana, Wyclef, Scarface, Fat Joe, Sugar Hill Gang, and more took over the red carpet. The red carpet 'star of the night' award according to Kendra G goes to KRS 1! He was the one celebrity most of the other celebrities were excited to see!
Again, from what I hear the show overall was 'aight' but there were some highlighted moments, like when Wyclef and Jules Santana did a tribute to Naughty by Nature and when Naughty by Nature hit the stage it was straight excitement and ruckus. They got the crowd amped up with their old classics! But hey you decide which moment was your favorite! The show airs Monday on VH1.
