EPIC WINS OF THE DAY: The White Rapper Edition: Justin Timberlake and Asher Roth

JUSTIN TIMBER LAKE THE RAPPER….TAKEOVER IS NEXT.

You gotta love it. Justin Timberlake and Asher Roth. Before you get going, this isn’t a diss. But, I have to admit, I thought Timberlake was kidding with this song, where he busts out in a rap. Suddenly, I realized…he’s NOT kidding. He borrows from Drake with the flow, who borrowed from Big Sean. Anyway….son, this is a real rap. I’m telling you, ODB warned y’all about this!

Justin’s taking over. Usher still mad. RIDLIN!
Asher Roth & Chuck Inglish – In The Kitchen

On the flip side and more authentic side, Asher Roth and Chuck Inglish get together and they cook up a banger here. Here is the synopsis from the directors Mike Waxx and Mike Carson.

For the past couple years, Asher Roth and Chuck Inglish have been two artists that we’ve been eager to create music videos for. The first time we heard Ash rock over a Chuck beat was in 2008 when The Greenhouse Effect mixtape was released and the remix to ‘Black Mags’ was recorded. Here we are now, both artists have released albums since then, and what a better time for the two to team up and create new material. When Chuck first sent this song over to us, we knew a video had to be shot immediately. From kitchen to kitchen, we ran around New York City creating the above visual which we find as the perfect representation to the bass heavy banger.

T-PAIN Releasing New Album “rEVOLVEr” in December

(AllHipHop News) Today (October 20) RCA Records announced that they will be releasing T-Pain’s fourth album entitled rEVOLVEr on December 6th this year.

The album includes the latest single “Best Love Song” featuring Chris Brown and “5 O’Clock” ft Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen.

With the release, T-Pain looks to build upon his well known knack for making hit records.

rEVOLVEr is drawn from seven albums’ worth of material,” said T-Pain. “There are so many different things on this album. I couldn’t settle on what I wanted to include, but the final result I think will really hit all of my fans and different audiences.”

The song “5 O’Clock” is Billboard’s Hot 100 Greatest Gainer, moving from #62 to #25 in its third week on the charts, and “Best Love Song” is already a platinum selling radio hit.

T-Pain is currently on tour with Chris Brown on the F.A.M.E. Tour which was just recently extended through November.

In 2008 T-Pain released the platinum-plus circus themed album Thr33 Ringz, but in 2011 T-Pain is looking to show more development in his music.

The title rEVOLVEr is said to “demonstrate the evolution of T-Pain as an artist.”

The past year was a busy one for T-Pain, who launched his own auto tuning software, as well as the T-Pain digital microphone.

Additionally, he collaborated with country star Taylor Swift on the song “Thug Story.”

“I’ve developed a new audience from the Taylor Swift stuff, the Bud Light and Toshiba commercials, the T-Pain Mic and App. There is music for everyone on this album, but definitely still classic T-Pain at the same time.”

The two time Grammy Award winning Tallahassee, Florida native made his solo debut on the music scene in 2005 with his album Rappa Ternt Sanga which produced the hit singles “I’m Sprung” and “I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper).”

Bone Thugs Hit With Lawsuit Over Tour Bus Altercation

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were hit with a lawsuit yesterday (October 19), over an incident on their tour bus in Chicago in June.

A Chicago man filed the lawsuit in Cook County court yesterday, claiming that group member Bizzy Bone assaulted him.

The group was in town for a concert at the Congress Theater on June 10, when the incident unfolded.

According to the Chicago Tribune,
Joseph E. Zeidel paid $80 to a tour manager so he could meet the group with other fans on the tour bus.

Things went awry when they ended up in a confrontation with Bizzy Bone, for unknown reasons.

According to the lawsuit, as the two men attempted to leave the bus, Bizzy struck one of the men multiple times in the face and head, knocking him to the ground.

No one was arrested in the incident, although Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, the Congress Theater and the concert promoters of the event are named in the lawsuit.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Ol’ Dirty Bastard Steal Rhymes For His Albums?

Method Man is letting all of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s secrets out of the 36 Chambers. In a recent interview with Complex magazine, Meth claims ODB stole a majority of the lyrics on his debut album, Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, from RZA and GZA.

“Dirty took all their sh*t and made it his own, and GZA ain’t say sh*t. Most of [Dirty’s verses] was GZA’s sh*t. I remember GZA and ODB got in an argument one night, and GZA was like, ‘N#### most of that sh*t on your f*cking album is mines anyway!’”

Meth did give ODB credit for writing “Brooklyn Zoo,” but not without throwing Big Baby Jesus under the bus one more time:

“I could go through the discography, I could tell you which ones he wrote. Like “Dog Sh*t” on Wu-Tang Forever? ‘Calling me a dog/But leave a dog alone/Because nothing can stop me/from burying my bones’ – I wrote that when I was 15 years old.”

I’m not sure why Method Man would attempt to tarnish what’s left of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s legacy, but it’s foul nonetheless.

Until next time…Xaviera

Hip-Hop Rumors: Nore Dead? Gadhafi Alive?

NORE DEAD? GADHAFI ALIVE?

What is the world coming to? I woke up today and found out that there are rumors of life and death about Nore (the rapper) and Moammar Gadhafi (the leader of Libya).

Well let’s get to the first part – THE RAPPER. You know most of us don’t care about that BS international news that really affects us. Apparently, rumors swirled around about Nore being dead today. But why? I don’t know, but it seems the viral gossip circuit momentarily killed Nore off because of some confusion around one of his friends. A friend of Nore’s sadly died and people got it mixed up. So, Nore is alive and well in Miami in mourning. At least we aren’t mourning him this morning.

Now to the REAL NEWS….

Per CNN, Moammar Gadhafi has apparently been slain in some attack. He may be captured, but CNN has said that they, as a company, cannot quite verify if he has been killed. Here is what they are saying now:

Rebels said Moammar Gadhafi was killed when fighters attacked the house where he was Thursday, National Transitional Council (NTC) Information Minister Mahmoud Shamman told CNN. “He tried to flee and they killed him. When they met him, he was alive and he was killed in action,” Shamman said. Shamman said the NTC’s chairman or prime minister will officially confirm the death.

The minister of information of Libya said, “”He tried to flee and they killed him. When they met him, he was alive and he was killed in action.”

Click here for a play by play on CNN, because I am already hearing that he was wounded, not KILLED.

Hmph….what do you think of this? I know my boy ED OGz will have something to say.
