UPDATE: Did I honestly say that I was done?... my bad....
TI - Arrested in ATL! T.I. was in "Body Tap" last night, a strip club in ATL, and a fight broke out between his crew and some other crew. He was taken into custody, PLUS his house was raided. Because of this, you won't be seeing him in the BET Hip-Hop Awards tonight. Homie was lined up for 9 awards tonight. He's gonna win at least 3 of them. More news as it develops...
Ironically, I just turned it on BET and see TI & Nelly on Hip-Hop vs. America... "West Side Detroit, yo! I'm a PIMP." :-p
The BET Hip-Hop Awards will be aired Thursday, October 17th.
Another UPDATE: I hope I'm wrong, but it is rumored they arrested him because his bodyguard tried to buy him "machine guns". That doesn't sound right, at all! But that's what is rumored to be the reason they raided his house...
I want to apologize for the multiple msgs that people got from the group on Facebook. You know, Facebook been messing up. They actually posted up a "Sorry for the inconvenience" msg on their "Help" page.
Anyway, let's keep it moving. Here is Jay-Z's brand new video, if you didn't see it on 106 & Park yesterday. :-D
"Blue Magic"
Lupe Fiasco - Hip-Hop Honors Situation
Also, lemme clear up all that Lupe & the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors confusion... No better yet, let Lupe Fiasco do so...
Big Moe - Heart Attack Since I do have alot of people whoc check me out in Texas, I thought I should let you guys know that Big Moe had a REAL heart attack. He is supposedly still in the hospital in critical condition.
Somebody asked why I didn't post up Bobby Brown and his trip to the hospital earlier... I asked them... "Is he relevant?"... What was his last hit? (besides on Whitney?, lol). I'm just playing... But seriously, i don't think y'all really wanted to hear about him... did ya? The dude couldn't even keep his story straight... Did he have a heart attack? Did he not? What's good?
So... Lupe fumbles some words from "A Tribe Called Quest" song at the Hip-Hop Honors.... It happens... Didn't know people would take it so personal, though...
Here's what he had to say: “[Tribe] didn’t sell 10 million records, so why would people think they had a blanket on the world like that? MC Hammer was way more popular to me than Tribe Called Quest.”
“Because there’s kids in Harlem who right now who would never ever listen to Midnight Marauders, I don’t give a fuck what you do, they’ll never listen to Q-Tip and they want to be rappers and they want to talk about positive things. So why would you shoot them down?”
“It’s like, ‘Oh, you ain’t never listened to Midnight Marauders? You ain’t expanding your horizons? Oh, you ain’t real’ cause they did that shit to me! ‘Oh Lupe, that’s fucked up man, I don’t fuck with you now! I’m not buying your next album’ and be dead serious! It made me feel like, ‘You dirty bastards! Like how dare you hypocritical.”
“Those hip hop elitists who think [Tribe] hold the crown and the copyright to hip hop, I listen to 8Ball & MJG and I think they’re better than you [Tribe].”
Wow.... That's saying ALOT... heheh. Crazy...
Joe Budden - Released from Def Jam!
Yea... so Joey got released from Def Jam... Everybody's favorite rapper to hate on... Joe Budden has been signed to Def Jam since 2000, and went gold with his 1st album, has been sitting collecting dust over there. I'm glad the let him out his contract... I hope he finds a GOOD label soon, and hopes he has good negotiating skills... Good luck, Joey.
Check out this new track from Nas... It's pretty decent... It's gonna be on his "Greatest Hits" album...
Yea... Nas couldn't have said it better.. Hip-Hop is dead... lol... Nah, not really, it's gonna be on and popping in November. After I heard people who've heard tracks off the album, talking about hot it has a "Blueprint" feel, I'm really thinking it's gonna be hot.
JD - Greatest Hits Album?! I heard from my boy, "O" that JD is putting out a Greatest Hits album... I told him that's cool... Diddy has put out like 3 Greatest Hits albums... Then he told me it was gonna be just HIS own hits, and Not So So Def... At that point I was ready to fall out... lol.
Let's think of what his Tracklist could be...
"Atlanta" "Balling Out Of Control" "Money Ain't A Thing" .... "Run Out Of Hits" "Washed Up Producer" "I Spent All My Kriss Kross Money"
The last 3, I'm just playing... But seriously though...
Diddy - Gangster Production
Then I found out Diddy produced like 70% of Jay's American Gangster album. Then JD did some tracks, along with Pharell evidently... Diddy fits perfect since Diddy produced BIG's "Ready to Die" album, which was an official classic. Very much so a movie, from beginning to end.
We'll see out on that later, I guess. When I'm able to actually get some new "hip-hop news" and maybe get to post on MY computer, we'll get some real posts like usual...
P.S. - Is anyone mad that Diddy has now officially admitted to having 6 kids, without a ring on that finger... I'm a need Diddy to man up, for real. Marry one of them chicks. Child support this year is a gonna put a real whole in that million dollar wallet of his...
I'll hit you up with some NEWness either this afternoon or tomorrow morning... But for now, you guys can check out Chamillionaire's hot track, "Won't Let You Down". When I say it's hot, I'm SERIOUS! Buy the way... you need to buy the album, :-p
I'll have a REAL link up later.. but DO check it out...
