Ludacris and Usher to Reunite for “Ludaversal” Album
(AllHipHop News) 2012 looks to be a year of achievements for Atlanta rapper/actor Ludacris, who will reunite with R&B singer Usher for his forthcoming album, Ludaversal.
According to Ludacris, the offering is “in the “beginning stages” at this time. Ludaversal will mark the first official studio contribution from Ludacris since the release of his 2010 album, Battle of the Sexes. The rhymesayer released a mixtape, 1.21 Gigawatts: Back To The First Time in November 2011.
“I get the beats together and I put out my ideas, so I’d say we’re maybe about 40 percent done,” the rhymester told Billboard.com. “I’ve pretty much collected about 80 percent of the beats that I need, and I’ve started writing ideas on them. First I have to love the beat, absolutely love it.”
Usher is the latest collaborator to come aboard for Ludaversal. Hitmaking production team, The Neptunes, were confirmed by Ludacris last year as being part of the project, which the rapper admitted to being set for release in May.
As for Usher’s involvement, Ludacris acknowledged their past work together, while teasing about other things fans can look forward to with his newest release.
“Usher is one person that I’ve already worked with and in terms of other artists; you can say that there’s going to be a lot of surprises on here,” said Ludacris.
The duo first aligned with each other on the number one hit “Yeah!” The Lil John-assisted track was followed by another success as the trio joined forces again for Lil John’s “Lovers and Friends.” The first single from Ludaversal will be released “probably within March,” the lyricist revealed to Billboard while providing a glimpse of what will be addressed on the album.
“It’s been a minute since I’ve been away from music, and there is just so much to talk about,” Ludacris shared. “So [the album] is mostly about my personal life, my travels, my experiences, rumors, gossip – you know, everything coming together in one.”
Usher’s inclusion on Ludaversal comes on the heels of a business victory for Ludacris, who announced last week the opening of a new restaurant, Chicken & Beer, in Atlnata’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Georgia.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Has Common Recorded “The B***h In You” Part 2 For Drizzy Drake?
IS COMMON PREPPING “THE B***H IN YOO” PART TWO FOR DRAKE?
Some of you kiddies are too young to remember when Common and Ice Cube had beef. Basically, Common caught flack for his song “I Used To Love H.E.R.” and Ice Cube and them didn’t like it. Well, they did some response that I don’t remember but it prompted Common to do the now classic diss song “The B****h In Yoo.” Got it? This was 1996.
In 2012, Common is beefing with Drake. This is all fun and lyrics even though some people are trying to suggest it could turn into something more. Well, I am hearing rumors that Common has braced for a Drake reply and recorded (or will record) “The B***h In Yoo” Part 2 for Drake. If this is true, I am assuming it is under the anticipation that Drake may return with a diss. Based on what Baby of Cash Money recently proclaimed, I don’t see Drake having much more to say. Also, I think quiet as kept, people realize that this could be a brand problem for Drizzy, not a Hip-Hop one. IF “The B***h In Yoo” Part 2 comes out do you think it would measure up to the original? Based on “Sweet,” I think so. Maybe Drake should take the beat first and run with it!
Here is the original 1996 “The B***h In Yoo.” (This version is fast, because of the youtube bs rules. All the rest are blocked.):
And for Drake, here’s the original Pete Rock instrumental just in case.

Happy Thursday, my Talented Trailblazers!!

Understand that you are the designer and architect of your life, and the quality of it is all based on what you deeply desire enough to make happen! Anything is possible for those who believe!! Be real by stopping being real!! Allow your imagination to soar higher than the highest mountain, then do everything in your power to make that your reality!! Life is for living, so live it the absolute best way you can possibly imagine!! NOTHING CAN STOP YOU!!!!

Taylor Gang’s Cardo Talks ASAP Rocky, Mikey Rocks & Curren$y; Updates Fans on New Wiz Album
(AllHipHop News) When Wiz Khalifa released Kush and Orange Juice for free online on April 14, 2010, Wiz called on Taylor Gang producer Cardo to produce several eventual fan favorites including the hit songs, “In the Cut” and “Mesmerized,”
Now, nearly two years later, Cardo’s success with Kush and Orange Juice has catapulted him into a slew of projects, including work with Dom Kennedy, Big Sean, Curren$y, The Cool Kids, Mac Miller, Nipsey Hustle, Smoke DZA, and the A$AP Movement, to name a few.
More recently, Cardo’s songs with Wiz were featured on the Mac & Devin Go to High School Soundtrack, getting placement on the tracks “World Class” and “That Good.”
“I’ve just been creating new sh*t and trying to experience some new sounds and think outside the box, doing stuff thats not in my lane, some different sh*t,” the Taylor Gang producer told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. “I have work coming out with the A$AP crew. Curren$y, of course, we working on the Stoned Immaculate album. Me and Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish are actually getting in the studio next week, and me, Nipsey Hussle and Burn One are getting in the studio next week out in LA, too.”
Cardo also let fans know he has several projects in the works with Mikey Rocks of The Cool Kids.
“Me and Mikey [Rocks] got two projects that we are working on,” an excited but busy Cardo explained. “We got the Premier Politics 2 thats coming out, and me and him and Chuck Inglish are doing a Jacuzzi series. Its gonna be something crazy, and we gonna have that done in a week or so, we gonna have it done in no time.”
The Taylored producer also had updates for Wiz fans who are eagerly anticipating his sophomore release titled, O.N.I.F.C., and preceding mixtape titled, Taylor Allderdice, an homage to Wiz’s high school in Pittsburgh.
“Me and Wiz got a lot of sh*t coming out. We just dropped the “California” track. Wait til you hear the other sh*t, we got like 10 or 11 tracks done, we working on everything. Chevy Woods project, Gangland, and the Wiz project, the mixtape and album, me and Sledgren are both on there. Wiz went a whole another direction with the last project [Rolling Papers], and of course it was like get that check. But people thought we weren’t a part of Taylor Gang and sh*t. We Taylor Gang for life; that’s family. We had to just wait our turn – not saying it wasn’t then, but Wiz wanted to do something different, so we respected that. People aren’t going to be disappointed by this album [O.N.I.F.C.]. I already heard some of the joints off there; that sh*t sounds crazy!”
With all the projects Cardo has coming out and in the works, the Minnesota raised and now Dallas-residing producer is thankful for all his success and gravitation towards his signature sound that utilizes the 808 cowbell drum.
Now operating on FL Studio, Cardo humbly remembers his early days and how he first started making beats from home.
“It keeps me humble, and it keeps me doing what I’m doing, I started making beats on MTV Music Generator on the PS1, me and my brother. That sh*t was just the start of everything of producing, ’cause we were rapping at first and we couldnt afford beats from our favorite producers, so it was like make beats or give up rapping all together so we got our dad to get this game for us and then we got a CD recorder and we hooked the auxiliary cords, the rest was history.”
Wais P Dissects His DJ Premier-Produced “Premo Pimpin” Track-By-Track For AllHipHop.com
Brooklyn MC Wais P stopped by the AllHipHop.com offices for the new year to break down his ambitious and well-rounded mixtape, Premo Pimpin, which was the third project he released in 2011.
Wais has a very simple motto and work ethic: “If you not working, you’re not relevant. If you not here to work and put out, as well as quality, a nice body of work, then you’re getting left behind.”
The former Da Ranjahz member’s mixtape features, not just beats from the legendary DJ Premier but, a co-sign from him as well. All of the 11-track tape’s production comes from Premier’s Beats That Collected Dust (Vol. 2).
When asked about how the project came together, Wais said, “I want people to know this is just not me snatching a bunch of unreleased Premo beats and rocking over them. I got the call from Fat Gary and the go-ahead from Premo; it was actually their idea.”
Wais P breaks down tracks two, four, and six from Premo Pimpin: “Multiple Sclerosis,” “Money In the Yard,” and “Lessons,” in the video after the song clips below:
“Multiple Sclerosis”:
“Money In the Yard”:
“Lessons”:
In the second part of AllHipHop.com’s interview with Wais P, he talks about the project’s last three songs: “Come Back To Collect,” “When the Cops Come,” and “Amphitheater.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Blue Ivy Carter Becomes the Youngest Person EVER on the Billboard Charts!!
Man, little Blue Ivy Carter came into this word with a bang, and she’s already breaking records! Billboard has just announced that the spawn of Bey and Jay, is now the youngest person ever to be credited with gracing a Billboard Chart.
B.I.C, as she’s credited as on her daddy’s track, “Glory,” burst onto the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs Billboard chart this week at #74 at just 2 days old. “Glory” was also the week’s highest new entry, with 1.7 million audience impressions on 54 radio stations, according to Nielsen BDS.
Following in the foot steps of musical genious Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z recorded his precious girl’s first seconds of life – her breathing, cries, and coos – just as Wonder did on his iconic song “Isn’t She Lovely,” written for his then-newborn daughter, Aisha. Aisha never received the honor, because she was never officially credited on the song.
In related news, 50 Cent is feeling a little left out and lonely due to all of the Blue Ivy Carter talk, so he decided to draw some attention to himself by tweeting the hilarious picture below with the caption, ‘Yal play to much congratulations to JAYZ and Beyonce BABY #BlueIvyCarter IS GEORGOUS
I’m sure Baby Blue Ivy IS gorgeous! 50 stop hatin’!!!
