Hip-Hop Rumors: Trayvon Martin and the Master P Connection

By now, we’ve all heard about the tragic death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida at the hands of an overzeaolus neighborhood watchman named George Zimmerman. More and more details about the case are emerging. Some good, bad, and some controversial about the character of the young man, as well as the intent of Zimmerman.

The Twitter handle to Trayvon’s now deactivated twitter account was @NO_LIMIT_NI**A, a phrase that rapper/actor and business man Master P made famous, as well as the partial name of his record label. One has to wonder, did Trayvon aspire to be a businessman like Master P? Did he have dreams of reaching his full potential, and did he believe that there was truly “no limit” to what he could achieve? These things we will never know.

In support of Trayvon, Hip-Hop has taken the initiative to speak out about his death and the injustice it feels he is receiving. Several artists have commented about the tragedy and even written songs speaking on the incident.

Below are three songs inspired by the Trayvon Martin murder, made by Plies, Mistah F.A.B and Jasiri X.

1. Piles – “We Are Trayvon (Trayvon Martin Tribute)”
Key lyrics: “I never thought wearing no hoodie, could cost your life / And I never thought you could just kill somebody and get out the same night”

2. Mistah F.A.B. – “God Don’t Love Me (RIP Trayvon Martin)”

 

Key lyrics: “The whole world wanna talk about Kony / But ain’t nobody speakin’ on the lil’ homie”

 

3. Jasiri X – “Trayvon”

 

Key lyrics: “Trayvon never gave his cousin his skittles / Missed the All-Star Game didn’t see another dribble”

 

Will Master P put a tribute song together as well? I hope so. The more we can do to shine a light on the case, the better.

DJ Paul Dropping New Mixtape “For I Have Sinned”

(AllHipHop News) DJ Paul of rap group Three 6 Mafia Has announced he will release a brand new mixtape titled “For I Have Sinned.”

DJ Scream hosts the new release, which was produced entirely by DJ Paul.

The first single from “For I Have Sinned” is titled “Smokin’ &;F#c%in’,” which makes use of Teddy Pendergrass’ tune “Come Go With Me.”

The release of “For I Have Sinned” marks the start of a busy time period for the Oscar-Award winning producer.

In addition to his mixtape with DJ Scream, DJ Paul is currently working on an untitled project with Drumma Boy.

Additionally, the Memphis-based producer is working on a new, official album titled A Person of Interest, which is due in stores this June.

“For I Have Sinned” is due in stores on April 19.

Daily Word Salutes “Whoa”-Inspiring Women: Let Your Light Shine!!

Happy Wins-Day, my creatures of greatness!

Welcome to day three of our recognition of phenomenal women who have helped inspire us to be great. Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to letting your light shine, and this week’s recognition would not be complete with out honoring my sister from another mister, Ms. MC Lyte!

Lyte, who is undeniably a Hip-Hop living legend, has been breaking down barriers since the ’80s. Her music and sound is unique and her contribution to the history of Hip-Hop is significant. But this recognition comes from a different place…. Whether wildly known or not, MC Lyte is a business women, motivational speaker, and philanthropist who aims to inspire people to never stop dreaming and to create the success they want out of life.

In her own words, Lyte recently said in an interview, “The first thing
you have to realize, is that there is huge surplus of abundance out
here, and you create every moment for yourself. I have a friend who is always saying ‘My breakthrough is coming soon!’ and ‘One day I will
have money to do what I need,’ and that’s the problem. Her breakthrough will ALWAYS be in the future, because that’s where she
puts it. Because we create every moment for ourselves, what we have to
realize is, this moment we are in right now was created long before it
happened! If you focus on being broke, that’s what you will be. If you
focus on not having enough money, that’s what will show up. If you
focus on being homeless, that’s where you will stay. The constant
repetition of your thoughts will bring that very thing to you.”….

I couldn’t have said it better!! Profound words from a phenomenal woman!! Her willingness to share her gift with others and encourage them to shine their own light is one of her biggest secrets for her longevity and success… So today, as we honor Ms. Lyte, I urge you to shine your own! Always have faith in your abilities and understand that everything your want out of life is already yours… All you have to do is have courage enough to claim it!! We Salute you, Ms. Lyte as Rock!! We appreciate all you do!!

New Orleans’ August Alsina: R&B’s Next Best Man [Audio]

Photo credit: Artemus Jenkins (@artemusjenkins)

It was the summer of 2007, at age 14, when New Orleans-bred R&B crooner August Alsina posted his first video on YouTube, a cover of Lyfe Jennings’ platinum debut, “Hypothetically“. His covers became popular, generating millions of views, and things seemed to be going well.

After problems at home and disagreements with his mom, Alsina vanished from YouTube and took to the streets. In 2010, Alsina’s older brother was murdered in his hometown of New Orleans. Not one to be discouraged, he began seeing his trials as motivation to seriously pursue a career in music.

In 2011, 19-year-old Alsina relocated to Atlanta, partnered with management company, Noontime Unlimited, and hasn’t looked back since. Now, he’s prepping his upcoming mixtape, The Product, which boasts the Notorious B.I.G-inspired single “Party & Bullshi*”” featuring G.O.O.D. Music’s CyHi the Prynce.

AllHipHop.com had the chance to talk to Alsina about new music, influences, comparisons to Trey Songz, and being called “R&B’s new thug”.

Audio Interview:

AllHipHop.com: I was reading your story, but where do you say you’re from?

August Alsina: I’m from New Orleans.

AllHipHop.com: Is that where you get the bulk of your experience from?

August Alsina: Definitely. It’s the way I was brought up. New Orleans is a different place. It’s unlike anything else that I know, growing up there.

AllHipHop.com: Is that what’s mostly gearing towards what you’re doing in your music?

August Alsina Definitely, because, most of my stories were created there. I lost my brother last year to a bullet in New Orleans. All of those experiences just create my music.

AllHipHop.com: Is this something that you’ve been wanting to do since you were a kid?

August Alsina: Not at all. It was never like a childhood prodigy thing where, you know, everybody say “Man, yeah I been singing before I could talk!”? Naw, it was never that. Nobody in my family sings. Nobody in my family can do music, at all. [laughter] I’ve been singing for five years now. Five years strong, and I tell people all the time, I believe that GOD gave me this gift to save my life. There are only two other things I know how to do, and that’s sell drugs and tote guns. And I’m sure the world don’t want to see that side of me. So, they ought want to let me in with this music sh*t. I really just look at this music sh*t like a lifesaver, because if not, I believe I’d be dead just because of the choices that I was making before I really started focusing on this.

AllHipHop.com: I was looking at a video back in 2007. You’re like the original YouTube king, man.

August Alsina [laughter] Believe that. At a point, my mom had brought a camera and made me start doing videos. That explains the huge tall tees that I had on in the videos. The hats backwards. I never had on cool clothes. It just was about singing to me. I had just started, and I just really wanted to see what I could make out of it. Now, I’m here.

AllHipHop.com: Is that when you realized, “Maybe I can really do this!”, like “Maybe I could really pursue this!”, with the way people were responding to your voice?

August Alsina: Not even – because I had stopped after that. Sometimes I think that situations like living circumstances can really distract you from trying to achieve a set goal. With me, I just had a lot going on from dealing with problems at home, my step daddy being addicted to drugs, all of that took a toll on my life. After a while, I stopped and got into some other sh*t in the streets and quit school. Then later on down the line it was like “Man, I don’t know how to do sh*t else.” I only know how to do two other things, so, the only way that I could make something out of this is if I really focus on it. There’s nothing else I can do. I don’t have a high school diploma. I do this sh*t because I have to. I do this sh*t because I have three little nieces that my brother left here for me to take care of. I don’t have a choice. This is all I know how to do. I have nothing else for me to fall back on. I have to make it with this sh*t.

AllHipHop.com: And I saw you sung Lyfe Jennings. Are you at all inspired by his story, because his story is kind of similar to yours?

August Alsina: Oh yeah, definitely. Lyfe is that n*gga to me. He’s that dude.

AllHipHop.com I didn’t know you were 19, until somebody pointed it out to me. I’m like, “Yo, this dude cursing and stuff.”

August Alsina [laughter] How old did you think I was?

AllHipHop.com: I thought maybe you were in your 20s, like 25. But yeah, now I got into your back story and everything, and I understand the purpose with the music. Growing up, were you listening to No Limit and Master P?

August Alsina: Dawg, you know what, definitely! I just hollered at Juve (Juvenile). Juve called me the other day, and I’m on a song with Juvenile and Mannie Fresh, that sh*t is crazy to me. Them n*ggas are legends and for me to be on a song, like, Juve, Mannie, and August Alsina on one song, that’s history. That’s New Orleans history. That’s big for my city. And I’m all about putting on for my city. That’s huge, I’m still taking that in.

AllHipHop.com: It hasn’t come out yet, has it?

August Alsina: Nah, not yet.

AllHipHop.com: Cool, so I’m guessing you were inspired by that whole movement.

August Alsina: Definitely. I wanted to rap. [laughter]. I wanted to rap like everybody else did, but when GOD was giving out the gift of rap, he skipped over me, for sure. Because I don’t have that talent.

AllHipHop.com: So, I guess you had that phase?

August Alsina: Yeah, I definitely had that phase where I wanted to be a rapper. I never even made a fool of myself by trying, because I knew it was something that I couldn’t do.

AllHipHop.com: I was listening to the songs, and I’m like, you hear a lot of music, and it’s a lot of R&B that we listen to, but behind it there’s a lot of auto-tune. And I was trying to listen, and I was like I don’t hear no auto-tune. This dude can really sing!

August Alsina: [laughter] I do this singing sh*t for real, man. I do it. I take pride in it. Like I told you, this is all I know how to do, so, I focus on this sh*t. This is my life. I don’t have a social life. I don’t have a regular 19-year-old’s life. I do music all day, every day. I perfect my craft, all day, every day.

AllHipHop.com: Are you at all surprised about comparisons to Trey Songz?

August Alsina: Nah, because, I mean, they have to compare you to somebody. I done get compared to Trey Songz, Chris Brown, the Weeknd, and I look at it like, that’s cool, because you’re comparing me to somebody great. These guys are successful. I’m not tripping as long as you’re comparing me to somebody great, because you’re telling me where I can go. But now that you’ve compared me to them – now, listen to my sh*t. Don’t f*ck with me just because of the hype, or because of what somebody else said or because somebody else is f*cking with me; f*ck with me just because of my music. Because you think my sh*t is dope. Listen to me for me after you’ve made your comparisons and see why August Alsina is August Alsina.

AllHipHop.com: Do you write your own stuff?

August Alsina: Yes, and I have a writing team as well. That “Drank in my Cup”, you keep mentioning, that was a true story. N*ggas are upset about that song. I lived it. I got threat comments about that. I lived that. When I said, “dedicate this to my ex,” that was real life.

AllHipHop.com: I think that makes for the best music, though. That always comes from New Orleans, in my opinion, as far as like just the real, music. Everybody from New Orleans is that way.

August Alsina: That’s the thing. N*ggas was f*cking with the Hot Boys. They didn’t have somebody to style them up. They didn’t have to be manicured. N*ggas was f*cking with them just because they were N.O n*ggas, like, they were true New Orleans n*ggas. Being from New Orleans, we just have a totally different swag, a different demeanor, a different approach.

AllHipHop.com: So, now you made the switch from New Orleans, you were in Houston for a second, and now you’re in Atlanta. How are you liking the Atlanta music scene with what you’re doing?

August Alsina: Well, being in Atlanta probably is the best thing for me, to be honest. Anywhere else I wouldn’t be focused. Here is just music, all day. I have no friends here. It’s just studio, artist development. Just rehearsal all the time. Being in Atlanta is probably the best thing for me, because I know if I was in New Orleans, I’d definitely be in the streets. I would. And Houston, I’m just not a big fan of living there. In order to be focused, I shouldn’t be there.

AllHipHop.com: What are you working on right now?

August Alsina Right now, I just knocked out a feature with Juvenile and Mannie Fresh. I’m working on The Product, my mixtape, that’s coming out in April, and we’re just pushing that right now. Still shooting videos, figuring out the next sh*t we’re going to drop. We got Trae Tha Truth on the mixtape. We getting all the features together. It’s coming along.

AllHipHop.com: Are you ever looking to do a huge major, maybe even become a part of Young Money, or something like that?

August Alsina:[laughter] I mean, I don’t know. I would like to find that out, too. That’s funny that you ask that.

AllHipHop.com: I mean, I gotta see if you’ve joined like YMCMB or something like that. You never know!

August Alsina: [laughter] Well, no, I’m not signed to YMCMB. Who knows what will happen, though.

AllHipHop.com: Well, we definitely know you’ve got a future in this business. Also, as far as the Adele “Someone Like You” video, I was like this man, this man is a thug, and he did a cover of “Someone Like You” – and it was good!

August Alsina Well, this is my thing with the thug word. I don’t claim to be a thug, and I don’t see myself as a thug. I just live my life the way that I live. I just do me. And, I don’t know if that’s considered a thug, the way that I live. I just do what the f*ck I want to do, because it’s my life and I don’t know if that makes a person a thug. I just think you live for yourself. I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a thug, not at all. It depends on what your definition of a thug is. Now if you’re definition of a thug is somebody that’s been through a struggle, somebody that’s a hustler – then cool, I’ll take being a thug. I have no problem with that title, if that’s what it is. That’s what Tupac’s definition of a thug is. That’s why he had “Thug Life” across his stomach, because he’d been through something.

AllHipHop.com: Anything you want to add?

August Alsina: Be anticipating the mixtape in April. Don’t have a set tape to release yet, but, it will be classic, I promise you that.

AllHipHop.com: That’s what’s up. I just want to encourage you to keep doing the music, man. You’re touching folks. I put it on Twitter the other day and folks were really loving it.

August Alsina: Yeah, I’m going to definitely keep doing it. I just appreciate y’all f*cking with me over at AllHipHop. That’s love.

Country Music Legend Willie Nelson Enlists Snoop Dogg For New Project

(AllHipHop News) Well-known marijuana enthusiasts Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg have teamed up for a song on Willie Nelson’s new project.

The album, entitled Heros, will be released by the country music legend on May 14 this year.

The new track featuring Snoop is entitled “Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die”, likely an ode to smoking marijuana until one’s life end.

The project also features several Willie Nelson covers, including songs by Coldplay and Pearl Jam.

Snoop also made headlines recently, as he announced the title for his 12th album in 19 years, Reincarnation. The rapper said that the project shows a softer side to his music and personality than previous projects.

“It’s a project where it’s more about the element of surprise, but at the same time it’ll be talked about in due time,” Snoop explained to MTV News. “It’s special; it’s a real special project to me because it’s like the reincarnation and the birth of me becoming who I really am…I never really knew who I was through the music. I was always a very peaceful, kind, loving, caring individual and making music to symbolize that sometimes never was my key.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Lauryn Hill Plans “The Return”!

After 14 years of keeping her fans waiting for the follow up to her debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, we hear Lauryn Hill has announced that she is working on her sophomore album, The Return. The album is rumored to drop later this year, and Lauryn is planning a huge listening session for it next month.

The singer will debut a handful of her new songs at a headlining show at London’s IndigO2 on April 14th. Tickets are already on sale for the date. I wonder what the music will sound like? Will she be singing, rapping, or both? So many questions. Are you still checking for Ms. Hill?

Daily Word Salutes “Whoa”-Inspiring Women: Define Yourself!!!

Happy Tuesday, my Great ones!

Welcome to day two of our special celebration of women who have inspired us to be great! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to Defining Yourself… and who better to represent this topic than Ms. Dana Owens or Queen Latifah as we better know her as. From her introduction into the world, she has always marched to her own beat! Ms. Owens burst onto the scene defying everything that she was told wouldn’t work, and she rewrote the rules to work in her favor – from dominating a man-driven music genre, to redefining what society called beauty.

She has won Golden Globes, Image Awards, and Grammys, Has been nominated for Emmys and Oscars, starred in Musicals, and Hollywood blockbusters alongside A-List actors such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, and Dolly Parton. She is a celebrity spokesperson for Covergirl cosmetics, Curvation ladies underwear, Pizza Hut, and Jenny Craig, and has her own line of cosmetics for women of color called the CoverGirl Queen Collection. Transitioned from Hip-Hop into Jazz and R&B, singing alongside great talents such as Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and Stevie Wonder. Sung “America the Beautiful” at the 2010 Super Bowl, owns her
own movie production company which releases both theatrical and straight to DVD releases…

Ohh….and did I mention that she started as a rapper from the rough streets of Newark, New Jersey? The point is that, from her inception, Ms. Owens was being told what she could and could not do, but instead of allowing others to set limitations on her, she took her life in her own hands and defined for herself what was possible! Greatness is simply that – the ability to take your life in
your own hands and give your best in whatever you do! For that, Ms. Dana Elaine Owens, we Salute you!! All Hail the Queen!!!
