THE DAILY TWO SENSE
Man, if feel bad for all the people that have recently lost somebody in their lives. I’m thinking about King Tee, who lost his teen daughter. I’m thinking about Young Dro, who I heard lost his sister. I’m thinking about Mike Tyson, who lost his 4-year-old daughter just yesterday! Man, life is a MF. Sometimes, I feel like I’m just here and going wherever the tide takes me. Anyway, God bless these people and anybody else out there that has lost anybody. Crazy times.
Not to be a downer, so lets move on to the rumors.
ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
Shout out to Kiana and Gunot_17!
Cam’Ron is talking about re-issuing Crime Pays. Hummm?
T.I. supposedly married Tiny just before he went to jail. Well, that’s a nice gesture. Click here for the story.
OJ Simpson has appealed the verdict in his case claiming there was a lack of diversity in the jury.
A man was arrested in the UK for trying to give Jay-Z his demo. They thought he was trying to attack Beyonce. Demos are so 90’s and 80’s.
DRAKE WAS IN NYC, BUT LETS TALK ABOUT CALI!
Here is a dose of facts, according to the people I know out in Cali. Here have been rumors about why Drake wasn't at Elements in Hollywood. The real truth, according to my sources, is Drake WAS there 100%. The problem was the promoters implied or lied to their patrons and promoted the event as a concert when it was really just an appearance and afterparty, my SOURCES SAY. So when Drake and Co. arrived to see the whole crowd in front of a stage like it was a show, he wasn't having it. He didn't want to let the crowd down by not performing, but he wasn't paid to do so. So, it wasn’t Drake’s fault.
I after I did all that writing, somebody sends me Drake’s own words and here they are:
“I WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT TRANSPIRED AT ELEMENT NIGHTCLUB IN LOS ANGELES ON SATURDAY MAY 23RD. ANYBODY THAT ATTENDED CLEARLY SAW ME ARRIVE AND LEAVE WIHTOUT THE PERFORMANCE THAT THEY WERE PROMISED. I LEFT THE VENUE BECAUSE THE PARTY WAS PROMOTED AS A FULL PERFORMANCE AND NOT AS A NIGHT THAT I WAS HOSTING. THE FLYER FOR THE PARTY SAID "MAIN SHOW" WHICH LEAD PEOPLE TO BELIEVE I WAS GIVING A SHOW AND ALLOWED PROMOTERS TO CHARGE 40 DOLLARS A PERSON. I HAD A SHOW AT CAL STATE THAT NIGHT AND AT NO TIME DID I INTEND TO DO ANOTHER SHOW AT ELEMENT. I WAS BEING PAID TO HOST A PARTY AND WHEN I SHOWED UP THE MONEY I WAS PROMISED FOR THAT SIMPLE TASK WAS SHORT. THE PROMOTERS WERE ASKING ME TO "JUST DO ONE OR TWO SONGS" AND LEAVE BUT I AM AN ARTIST AND I TAKE PRIDE IN THE SHOW I'VE PUT TOGETHER. I REFUSE TO STEP ON STAGE AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT I AM OKAY WITH THEM PAYING 40 DOLLARS TO SEE ME RAP OVER TWO RECORDS THAT MY DJ PLAYS. I LOVE MY FANS TOO MUCH FOR THAT AND THEREFORE I LEFT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EXPLAINING THE MISHAP IN THE HANDS OF THE EVENT ORGANIZERS. I APOLOGIZE TO ANYBODY IN LA THAT WAS DECEIVED AND I PROMISE THAT WHEN I RETURN I WILL DRAIN MY BODY OF ALL ITS ENERGY WHEN I HIT THAT F***IN STAGE AND GIVE U ALL THE BEST PERFORMANCE I CAN. I LOVE YOU ALL.”
Question: why do rappers type in all caps?
THE DREAM’S NIGHTMARISH FAIL
Dream was at the Boston House of Blues with Keri Hilson and them. For some reason, Keyshia Cole wasn’t there, but that not the point. The point is, the crowd was super-hype to see The Dream. Dude didn’t realize that he was in the home of the BOSTON RED SOX. And he made the mistake of rocking a Yankee's fitted. Some member of the crowd got every loud and belligerent in there. During The Dream’s set, they kept screaming "YANKEE'S SUCK, YANKEE'S SUCK." By the end of the show, Dream got the hint and put on a rhinestone hat. I heard that he gave the hecklers the middle finger for good measure.
SPECTACULAR SPEAKS!
I have to say…Spec challenged a bunch of men at the beginning of the video. Come on, dude! “You know that ain’t riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!” We all have seen Pretty Ricky's "Spectacular" dancing in his red briefs trying to prove he can out-grind Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Day 26 and more! Well Spectacular checked in with "Live with Kendra G" and answered every question you probably had has you were watching the video!! Why was he wearing those red briefs? Was this his "coming out video" meaning is he GAY?? Will he do more videos like that? Watch the interview with Kendra G for yourself to get all the answers:
PITBULL KNOCKS STUPID FAN OUT!
Never get on stage and flash money in the face of Pitbull. FAN FAIL.
LMAO: I SMELL MILK, I MEAN BEEF!
It looks like the “situation” with Play-n-Skillz has turned into something other than it was! I never regarded it as beef, but this new cartoon suggests something is awry. Just click here to see what is what.
NORE VS SOME DUDES?
I don’t know what this is all about but, one of the homies hit me up and said he and some of his boys almost got into it with Nore and his clique. Like 4am in the morning the were on 42nd street in Manhattan and they saw Nore. Well, he said that Nore said something like, “What’s poppin, Purple City?” in a way that they felt was disrespectful. He said they were outnumbered 2 to 1 so they didn’t do anything at first. He said they came back about a minute later and Nore was gone. They got into it with the remaining members of the crew though, but they were most interested in getting Nore! I don’t know if this is true, but we don’t need any dead rappers!
WHO DID WHAT WITH WHO?
This is coming from the Twitter of porn star India. Now, I didn’t really know who Claudia Jordan was until today. India spilled the beans on this Jordan woman by saying she did a “professional” on Diddy. I can’t confirm or deny this, but only report it as what India claims. How India can make this claim is anybody’s guess. Here is what she said:
@CLAUDIAJORDAN IS A H*E THAT B****H SUCKED DIDDY D**K AND HOLD ON ...I DID MOVIES SO IT AINT NOTHIN I LOVED MY CAREER...
SMH.
At any rate, Claudia was very diplomatic and positive about the mess by saying the following:
“Oh I'm fine. I'm ignoring it. It's some low end porn girl who said I ignored her in a club or something-so now she has it out 4 me”
“mad immature & I never heard of homegirl-her world is nowhere in the vicinity of mine.let's keep it that way. She's blocked.dead”
“I'm trying to keep it peaceful and not use my powers of severe wit for evil. They won't take me off my positive kick--no sir”
Here is a petty telling image though.
THE BAWSE TALKS TO GOD
God is “Rich Off Cocaine” in the spiritual sense! Seriously, I heard the Christian community is upset about this!
RED AND METH: 48 HRS!
This is a prequel!
SPECTACULAR of PRETTY RICKY PART 2
I’m giving all of you fair warning. The boy is out there.
Respect to the gays, but this one is in denial. The boy gayer than fruit cocktail, I tell ya!
SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
Here is another one where the kids get the short end of the stick. Sadly, this is all real coming out of Memphis, TN. What happened? A woman is with her 2-month old kid at Wal-Mart.Well, the store suspected the woman of shoplifting and they approached her about it. The women tried to escape by using her baby as a weapon. She threw the seat at the Wal-Mart employee WITH THE BABY IN IT! The baby falls face-first on the pavement. The baby was KO’d and paramedics had to revive her/he. And, the mother RAN AWAY. Stacey Cleaves of Memphis is now charged with felony child abuse and neglect and assault. LOSER.
EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY
Demi Moore has taken twitter too far. She went to the dentist and twitted this:

ILL PICS
My homey Nick was in Miami over the weekend. He saw the Ruff Ryders, new and old! DMX, Cassidy and the newly signed Murda Mook.

She may not have liked the Rihanna rumors, because suddenly these Drake pics pop up.
She says they are just friends so…we’ll see.
THE ORIGINAL PRANK
You remember the prank yesterday? Well, this is the original. He GOT GOT! Now, I see why he got his boy back so bad. These are some serious PRANKS!
CHARLES HAMILTON REPLIES!
It is on the record. I tried to hit up Charles Hamilton on twitter, but he wasn’t around so the rumor ran. Any star that wants to get at me directly may do so at allhiphoprumors@gmail.com or twitter.com/illseed.
Here is some of what Charlie had to say about the rumor that Interscope wasn't feeling his album:
First off, thank you Illseed for my morning coffee. Actually cooled me down a lil bit to know that my album's "status" is worth being in the AllHipHop rumors section. Now if I can only get a review of anything other than my face's ability to block punches...
NOW.
What Jimmy told me was to do my thing, and use the business to my advantage.
Interscope is used to a certain sound, as evidenced through the latest Em release ("Relapse"). The crystal clear, uncompressed sound, usually mastered by Dr. Dre (or Ron Fair) is what makes an Interscope album an Interscope album. Content and production wise, they LOVE "This Perfect Life" (much to the dismay of the email).
As far as sound quality, they don't understand it.
"This Perfect Life" was professionally mixed, but in the mastering, I did things a little bit different. Each song was ran into vinyl, before digitally remastering each vinyl-ly mastered song, before mastering the album together as a whole. So you hear actual dust from the record.
So it sounds a lot older than it really is.
Quite literally, you hear the needle drop on the record.
The point of me doing that is, the mainstream way of presenting music is getting old. Yeah I know, "Charles this mix sounds like crap." That's kinda the point. You have to LISTEN. The points I bring up with this album on every song go beyond the 30 second sound-byte of a ringtone. There are solutions to problems that we all face that need to be heard.
Or is that not what an artist is supposed to do?
There is a plan to put "This Perfect Life" in stores after it's online release, as a box set, with a DVD of animated videos that string the concepts of the song together to make a movie. There will also be a collage if you will of my interviews and interviews with celebrities, politicians, and commonfolk about what a perfect life would mean to and for them.
We’ll work on those music reviews.
And, Charles…because I care…here is a new babe for you until things are smoothed over with Briana. This woman is Ms. Stitz and she has the largest breasts on Earth. Don’t say I never did anything for a playa.
