Non Hip-Hop Rumors: Media Take Out Records?

I heard a crazy rumor! But, I’m thinking there may be some truth to it. OK, crazy, but could the gossip giant Media TakeOut be creating a record label to pump out R&B music that would appeal to the masses?

A birdie told me that is possible in the form of MTO Records! Now, I was told that – IF this is real – they would target talented artists that live in the reality world. For example, K. Michelle is dope and she would be a candidate for MTO Records. She’s obviously signed, but you get the picture.

The only thing I have yet to determine – aside from verifying the facts – is who will be running this venture. Typically, a mogul or former label executive would run this. I’ve yet to determine WHO this person could be and have no leads. Maybe JD? I don’t know. This can’t be life.

BREAKING NEWS!

 

Wild N Out is coming on tonight and the homey Young Jack Thriller is going to be in the battle!

Just Blaze Talks About How His Computer Skills Helped Revolutionize The Industry

(AllHipHop News) In today’s world a music producer and a computer engineer have a lot in common. Both technicians manipulate digital software to create a desired outcome. One well-known Hip Hop beat maker happens to literally be both. Just Blaze spoke with Wired.com about how he originally broke into the music industry by reprogramming Motorola P900 two-way pagers.

“Back then, there wasn’t such a thing as ringtones for your phone,” said the former Rutgers computer science student. “But Motorola included an app that allowed you to make customizable tones. The way you had to enter the music into the pager wasn’t really a musical approach. It was more a mathematical thing.”

Just mastered creating exclusive ringtone remixes of popular songs that included reverb, delay, and drum sounds. His innovative technique helped gain him notoriety.

He goes on to talk about how he built a Pro Tools rig on his laptop back in 1997, something the program’s creators said was not possible at the time.

“It took a lot of time, a lot of trial and error, and quite a bit of money, but I was able to fashion my own Pro Tools rig that ran off an old Powerbook,” explained Just. “I used to roll it into sessions and engineers would look at me like I was from another planet because nobody had anything like this in New York, or in the business, at all.”

The producer of tracks like Jay Z’s “Girls, Girls, Girls,” Kanye West’s “Touch The Sky,” Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C,” and Eminem & Lil Wayne’s “No Love” recently joined the revamped Priority Records.

There has not been any word on his scheduled appearance at the Golden Gate Park Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco on Friday.

The “Brown Sugar” crooner had been making a musical comeback the last few years after a long hiatus. His last full length album was 2000’s acclaimed Voodoo. There are reports that he is working on his long-delayed third album tentatively titled James River.

50’s lawyer, Scott E. Leemon, issued the following comment to AllHipHop.com:

(AllHipHop News) The MTV Video Music Awards will feature a BLKKK HEAD after MTV confirmed that Kanye West will perform at this year’s VMA’s from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

This will be Kanye West’s first solo performance at the Video Music Awards since 2008’s “Love Lockdown” show ender. That performance was infamously succeeded by Kanye’s music exile-inducing interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards.

Hip-Hop Rumors: DMC Responds To Rumors Of Dissing Jay-Z and Lil Wayne!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Headlines

DMC has reached out to me to clear up the rumors of him dissing Jay-Z. Peep what he told me EXCLUSIVELY! If you use the following, please credit illseed and AllHipHop.com. THANKS! Thank it away, DMC!:

I could never DISS Lil Wayne or Jay Z!

They are very good and successful at what they do! I would and could never disrespect either of these two men!

Their success is my success!

I love and respect Lil Wayne! He treats me well and is very very nice to me and my family!

And Jay Z inspired me and assured me  that great Hip Hop will exist forever in all generations and eras when he dropped Hard Knock Life, which one of my favorite Hip Hop songs ever! Hard Knock is incredible to me!

After reading the negative comments coming at all of us, I had to personally apologize to my two fellow artist!

I do not like negative s###! I cannot tolerate anything that will divide us and our Hip Hop Culture!

The power is in Wayne, D and Jay standing side by side representing this sacred culture together! No matter how “different” we may be!
Now with that being said, the point I was trying to make is that Jay and Wayne(and even me when I was on radio all day) aren’t the only ones that are so called “hot” because there is a lot of talent that may be just as “hot” and even better, but they don’t get heard on the radio.

All I’m saying is a DJ should be able to discover an incredible ass rapper in any city state or country today, and be able to come on the air tomorrow, and play that song…but he or she can’t…because of programming!
