GAME BACK WITH DR DRE.


I remember telling people that DR DRE was planing to use GAME, EMINEM, and 50 CENT as guest artist on his album, DETOX. That is the strategy(using a hot protege) dre uses on all his albums; on the first one, he had snoop all over the place; on chronic 2001, he had snoop again, he had eminem, he had exibit, he had mel man...

I was telling peeps back then that detox would not drop untill game gets on it. Game is from the west, the hottest west coast cat of back then, when dre was really trying to get detox out. Game is still the hottest act from the west, and incidentally, is also from COMPTON, the city dre is from. I just new it was only a matter of time before dre got back with game. Now that the 50 cent beef is almost dead, and 50 is less relevant than he was back in 2005, dre has gotten back with game.

SNOOP, GAME, AND DR DRE are presently in the studio working on DETOX. The picture, which snoop and game put on twitter is an evidence. I wonder what 50 has to say about this. Dre was quiet all that while because he didn't want to take sides, but every body knows who the doc really respects on the mic. Hate him or love him, game is a beast on the mic. And with dre's guidiance, it is another story.



BELOW IS GAME'S TWEET ON THE ISSUE.

"CAN U SAY "DETOX" ??? IN THE STUDIO WIT DRE & SNOOP. WE BOUT 2 MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE MAD. RIDE WIT US OR GET RAN OVER ! AFTERMATH OR DIE !"

SNOOP ALSO TWITTED ABOUT IT:

"What's more gangsta than dis?," he wrote. "N the studio right now!!! west coast takeover. this is how the west was one!!!"

FAT JOE AND JAY-Z MEET FACE TO FACE.

If you all didn't know, fat joe and jay-z have been bitter rivals, even before big pun died. I don't know what caused it, but it has been like a cold war between this 2 for a long time now.
I can remember when nas ended his beef with jay, fat joe went on radio and talked about how dissapointed he was. He even said he wanted to die. If you didn't know, fat joe has been a nas fan for a long time before then, and he always disliked jay.

Just recently, they bumped heads at joe's album release party, which jay mistakenly appeared at. Below is what sohh.com had to say about it.


The feud between Jay-Z and rapper Fat Joe may be simmering down, but it's not over. Both attended a party at club Imperial the other night, and spies said they didn't speak at all. One source says, 'Jay-Z arrived and totally upstaged Fat Joe. He rolled up in a Jeep with no roof or doors, and was blasting out his new song. Then, when he got into the DJ booth, the whole club just came to a standstill. Fat Joe was not a happy camper. He made sure he wasn't in the DJ booth when Jay-Z was there. Instead, he ordered a bottle of Hennessey and looked moody in the VIP area. Then, later on Twitter, he thanked Jay-Z for stopping by his party.' (New York Post)


BELLOW IS JOE'S TWEET.
"Shouts to Jay Z and Swizz for coming thur my party at imperial!!!

BOW'S TOP FIVE DEAD OR ALIVE.


You know i always give you your favourite rappers favourite rapper list. Below is bow wow's list courtesy of allhiphop.com. Tell me what you feel about his list.


Bow Wow has been doing this rap stuff since he was a mere babe of 5 years old under “Uncle” Snoop Dogg. Since then, he’s grown up into a major megastar that has endured for several “rap generations.”

But who were his influences to help his make it to his current position as an artist on Cash Money Records? His choices may shock fans and haters alike.

Look no farther than Bow Wow’s Top 5 Dead or Alive.

The Notorious B.I. G




“When you mention Hip-Hop you think of Big. For a guy to have only two albums and be put at the place he is should only be looked at as amazing. He is undeniable, especially as a lyricist.”

Big L



“He’s just a dope lyricist. He is someone that I have just always respected as an MC. He’s someone I feel gets looked over or overshadowed. He is one of New York’s finest.”

LL Cool J



“He is my idol. Just period. I see a lot of similarities between his career and my career. We both have a strong female fan base. He’s still here. I’m still here. He does movies. I do movies. He got ridiculed a lot for doing girl records but then he came hard when he dropped “I’m Bad.” I feel like “Fresh Azimiz” is my “I’m Bad.”

Tupac


"--

What a lot of people don’t understand is I grew up in HipHop. I feel like I’m the son or the baby brother of HipHop. I feel like that because I got into the game so early. I was young and around Death Row. People talk about Tupac…I was around Pac back in the day. When he was doing the Me Against the World album I actually witnessed him in the booth. I like him for his realness. You can feel his passion in the music. He was motivated and he truly cared about the world.”

Special Ed



“He’s always been one of my favorites because of his lyrical ability and the way he put words together. I redid his “I Got It Made” for a mixtape. I have always had a female fan base so I like him because he had that but was still respected as a lyricist. He gained respect but was also a dope lyricist.”

NAS HAVING DIFFICULTY WORKING ON 10TH ALBUM.

Nas has always been a discreet individual, far from the media. But his latest divorce with ex-wife and songstress, kelis, brought a lot of his private life to the public.
He says this has affected him and the lyrics he would want to put in his songs. He has always been a man to stand by his words anyday, now that kelis has put his business all up in the media, he can not be as discreet as he would love to be.
Also, he knows he surely has to rap about his present situation and what traspired between him and kelis, but he has to watch what he says and how he says what he says, just saw he does not offend or degrade kelis.
It is really a battle when emotions fuck up your work ethics. I wish him all the best and i just can't wait his 10th album. Was with my friend the other day, and he said he didn't get what he expected from bp3 and said he couldn't wait for the next nas album to drop.
Me personally, i know what didn't kill NAS would only make him stronger.
The album is supposed to drop early 2010.
GO NAS!!!

NAS REFUSES TO WORK WITH JAY-Z

It has been rumored that NAS refused an offer from JAY-Z to drop a verse on 'EMPIRE STATE OF MIND', a track on jay's BLUE PRINT3, that also feautures ALICIA KEYS.
Nas was even asked during a recent interview about the issue and he avoided the question by saying 'what's the next question'.
Now, i would like to educate people a little. Nas had a song titled NEW YORK STATE OF MIND on his first album ILLMATIC, back in 94. Then he had the part 2 of that song on his third album I AM(99). About 3 years ago, he did the part 3 of the song with ALICIA KEYS. So when you have JAY-Z making a track called empire state of mind, which is basically talking about new york, and feautures alicia keys, how do you think nas would feel.
Empire state of mind is a knock off nas's new york state of mind, point blank period.

50CENT AND FAT JOE AT IT AGAIN.

On monday, 28th of sept, it was reported that 50cent was rushed to the hospital after he had collapsed while listening to the new fat joe album, j.o.s.e 2. The doctor later confirmed that 50 had a problem with his auditory cortex, the part of the brain that has to do with processing sound. Blah! Blah! If you don't get it, none of that happened, he was just trying to diss joe.
Fat Joe responded to that today, saying 50 should get off his dick.
I wonder where 50 got that album, cos it does not drop till oct 6.

THE FUTURE OF HIPHOP.

When NAS made the statement 'HIPHOP IS DEAD', i felt his plìght, but i didn't totally agree with him. I would say rap, an element of hiphop, is dead.
I don't know what they call what they are doing now, but it's definitely not 100% rap. When i first heard of KID CUDI, i heard he was a rapper, but i am yet to really hear him rap. I heard day n nite, his first single and i didn't know what to call his style of music. Then i heard him on 'welcome to heartbreaks', a track on KANYE'S 808's n HEARTBRAKES album, and he was singing.
I think hiphop is evolving, and the college kids are taking over, with their father being kanye.
DRAKE, kid cudi, CHARLES HAMILTON, J.COLE, WALE, this are some of the young and new breed of hiphop artists.
People are tired of all the gangsta stories; the drug dealer story telling is played out. T.I, YOUNG JEEZY and the likes can only save them selves for so long. HIPHOP is definitely not ruled by the south any longer.
