Shout out to Kanye and his new site. Kanyewest.com.EPIC FAIL FOR THE AGES

The Bloomsburg High swim team has a beloved coach. Suddenly that Pennsylvania town was turned upside down in a single MOMENT! The beloved coach, Michael Campbell, was caught in the act of having sex in a state forrest! Well, needless to say that he was charged with a crime and fired. Here’s the catch. Dude is 1) 60-years-old. What in the world? This dude is acting like a teenager out in the woods like some wild animal. And the second one is, the person he was bonin’ was another man! Dude! It was a 60 year old and 74-year-old Allan Wagner out in the woods…in the middle of day having g######! What in tarnation is going on with you people?Campbell pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct of a hazardous and physically offensive nature back in October. Dude was the coach for 20 years at Bloomsburg and they never knew how he got down. At least he had a winning record as the swim coach. Did mention he’s married? Damn, son! FAIL! Shout out to pressenterprise.net.

CHANCE ENCOUNTERSPeep what my homey Chance has to say about these rumors in these streets. Remy sets the record straight too. No boom boom with Remy Ma!

WAY BACK WHEN

DJ Whoo Kid just released this footage he’s been sitting on for a while.  Check out this interview with Kanye West before he got in the car accident:

REMY DID NOT F**K NICKI

When a video of some AG talking about how she used to f**k with Remy Ma surfaced a lot of people claimed it was a pre-fame Nicki.  Miss Minaj has denied the allegations and now Remy Ma is denying them.  She called into the Jenny Boom Boom show from the joint and cleared everything up.

Here’s the video that sparked all the rumors:

KEYSHIA’S SISTER PLAYING GAMES

Keyshia Cole’s un-famous sister, Elite, had a little fun with the blogosphere yesterday when she congratulated her sister on giving birth.  After the story broke she went back to her Twitter and said:

Ummmmm…I don’t know what she was trying to prove but this was just annoying.  I can understand if she made some random rumor up but congratulating your pregnant sister on giving birth???  Why would anybody think you’re lying???  I guess she just wanted some attention.  This media Tom Foolery is probably why Keyshia don’t be f**kin wit yall like that no more.  I’m just sayin.

YOUNG BERG SAYS HE WASN’T ROBBED

The rumor is Young Berg was pistol whipped and robbed during a home invasion at a party in the Hollywood Hills.  Berg released this video to clear things up.  Apparently he was in Vegas when the alleged whipping occurred.

Is the Internet to blame or is Berg’s reputation for having his possessions easily removed to blame???  I must admit I didn’t doubt the story one bit when I heard it.  Sounds like the kind of thing he’d be involved with.DO YOU LIKE ME???  Check Yes or No

Arron Afflalo, currently of the Denver Nuggets, and Ciara???  Maybe.  CiCi has been spending a lot of time rooting for her friend Carmelo Anthony and Arron, who sources say is very shy, tried to break the ice on Twitter.  He hit her saying “r u only allowed to cheer for one nugget? Just wanted to say Hi since I walked past you a hundred times this summer ;)”.  Awwwww do we have a high school romance brewing???  50 better put a ring on it before Arron scoops her.

SNEAK PEAKI can’t co-sign the message behind this song but the video is looking like it’s gonna get a thumbs up.  Teairra Mari and Soulja Boy recently linked up to shoot the video for her single “Sponsor” and she was keepin it real sexy:

L.A. REID GETTING THE BOOT???

Lucian Grainge, Chairman  and CEO of Universal Music Group International out in the UK, will replace Doug Morris as CEO of Universal Music Group (UMG) January 1, 2011.  UMG is the parent company of Def Jam and as you may know L.A. Reid is the Chairman of The Island Def Jam Music Group.  I’m hearing when he takes over there will be a lot of “re-structuring” at Universal and Mr. Reid’s head may be on the chopping block.  Apparently Lucian isn’t happy with a string of disappointing projects including Rihanna’s last album, which only sold 2.5 million worldwide while her previous album sold 2.6 million in the U.S. alone, Mariah’s last album flopping and Lady GaGa becoming a superstar at Interscope after Def Jam dropped her.  Also, Lucian isn’t very happy with L.A. Reid’s self promoting demeanor and thinks his private parties, media presence and a reality show he is currently shopping are a gross display of his wealth.  L.A. DID just move his Hitco Publishing company from Universal to EMI might be getting ready to split.  Hopefully this Shyne project pays off or it may be the final nail in the coffin.

Here L.A. is on his recent trip to Belize to draft Shyne:

I’M JUST SAYIN’Foxy Brown is aging a lot better than some of her counterparts.Mashonda and Swizzy’s divorce should be final soon…happy belated b-day to Mashonda.Ummmm…What was the point in Beyonce’s bodyguard releasing a statement if he wasn’t going to address the allegations he’s sleeping with Beyonce?  It was basically here’s who I am and I love my job.

The Dream and Christina Milian say their new baby girl, Violet, will be here by Sunday.  Congrats!!!!

If you’re coming to the Leaders Of The New Cool show tonight come say HI!!!Peace – ChanceCDR Twitter Facebook and Gmail

REMY, WE LOVE YOU!!!

They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about

them then they should worry!

AllHipHop ChartWatch: Sade Stay On Top, Lil Wayne & BEP Stay Top 10

ChartWatch for February 24, 2010

After 10 years without releasing a new album, Helen Folasade Adu managed to claim the number one spot. The Nigerian born, British songstress better known as Sade continues to hold the top spot selling 191,000 copies of her sixth studio album Soldier of Love.

The Black Eyed Peas jump from eight to three by moving another 66,000 copies of their latest offering The E.N.D.

They are followed by Lil Wayne’s rock album which remains in the 10 ten since its debut three weeks ago. Rebirth moves 59,000 copies and grabs the number five spot.

Lil Wayne also has some good news when we look beyond the top ten. The YoungMoney CEO’s compilation album, We Are Young Money, moves up eighteen spots to 21 selling 20,000 copies this week.

Jay-Z also moves up the charts from his position at forty-four last week. The Blueprint 3 holds the 31st position this week selling 16,000 copies.

The next two artists haven’t been in the top fifty for the last few weeks but it looks like their fans have given them a much needed boost. First up is Gucci Mane’s latest offering, The State vs. Radric Davis, which moves another 14,700 copies and helps the Atlanta rapper claim the 39th spot.

Finally, Marshall Mathers a.k.a Eminem enters back onto the top fifty and claims the number 45 spot. The Detroit MC’s chart topping album, The Relapse, moves another 13,700 this week.

Dropping This Week

First up is 1/3 of the Hip Hop trio Dilated Peoples, DJ Babu, who is releasing the second edition in his Beat Tape series. The Beat Tape, Vol 2 is Babu’s eighth album and those not familiar with him as a solo artist should definitely take a look at his previous works or YouTube some of his DJ work.

I don’t know too much about this next artist but she’s being released by Stones Throw Records so she might be worth a listen or two. Georgia Anne Muldrow has worked with Erykah Badu, Madlib, Mos Def, and this week drops her latest album SomeOthaShip.

Keeping in the same vein as Georgia we have another Stones Throw artist. Madlib drops Medicine Show No. 2: Flight To Brazil. This is another album that I don’t know much about but it’s from Madlib and Stones Throw so it’s one you should definitely pick up.

Finally Planet Asia & Gold Chain Military release Chain of Command. I’m off my game because I don’t know much about this album either. Someone let me know about some of these underground albums if you’ve heard them.

That’s it for this week. We’ll see what charts next week.

Yelawolf: Odd Man In

  

 

Not many new artists can afford to be this crass and flagrant in entertainment. Perhaps his daring antics should garner our attention more. Yelawolf is concentrating on being the best at what he does, and right now he’s carved out a niche that he clearly dominates successfully.  The young rapper has the self-made power and desire to provide a blended cure to Hip-Hop. He’s not ecstatic about the possibilities of bling and would probably jump over a barrel of Maybachs to push a Chevy. Yela is not afraid to keep it country boy simple and let the product do the talking.

For some Hip-Hop heads it can be difficult to embrace someone who might not fit a traditional criteria of rap music. This Alabama native is different, but he pulls it off without having to pucker up and sell his soul, rather he acutely chooses to sell his music. He has many variables that emerge without limits. He has worked to perfect every component of his career and is still grooming himself daily for his adventures in entertainment.  Already having worked with Raekwon, Juelz Santanna, Slim Thug, Bum B, Pill and many more Yela doesn’t emulate anyone but pays homage to the culture he’s loves and respects. Yelowolf allows for Hip-Hop to stretch beyond its wildest imaginations.

AllHipHop.com: You’ve been doing this for a minute, but how long have you been waiting to get right here at this point in your career?

Yelawolf: I wasn’t waiting per say but rather I’ve been just working to get better and better. I’ve always challenged myself to reach the next level. After the deal with Columbia we put out “Slick Ricky and Bobby” which was a tribute to Talladega Nights, then we did “Stereo” which is Hip-Hop ’s tribute to classic rock, next we released “Arena Rap” which is an experimental band EP.  We’ve just been working, working, working, and decided to release a rap project “Trunk Muzik.” We released that on the first of January and it just caught fire online. So it’s not really about waiting to get to a certain point, but it’s about doing what feels right and making music that feels good then letting the people decide what they like.

AllHipHop.com: We see all of these reality TV shows like “American Idol” and “Making the Band”  you did the “Road to Stardom” with Missy Elliot. Can you tell me whether that experience helped to launch your career at all, or at the end of the day when the cameras cut off you still had to grind from the bottom to the top?

Yelawolf: I would give people the advice to really study a situation first. Man, I was hungry when I did that I had just had my first baby so at the time when they were auditioning for that show I just went for it. I saw an opportunity so I went for it. I mean being seen and getting exposure is always a good thing. Because of that show in part is how I met Jeremy Jones and Jackie Chain from Huntsville then got over to Atlanta. I mean everything happens for a reason, but as far as the reality show and what it stood for it was some bulls**t. I had actually auditioned for the next Hip-Hop superstar which is what they were telling me the show was about, but when the finalist all made it on to the show it was really random. They had some singers, dancers, a Christian artist, some rappers, and some wanna be rappers all mixed in together. It was wack to me but still a good opportunity. I gotta thank Missy for putting me on but, no, it didn’t launch my career.

AllHipHop.com: Now you have a great track record in the mixtape game. How would you describe your growth from Slick Rick and Bobby to  Stereo to Arena Rap to the current Trunk Muzik?

Yelawolf: My main areas of progression, is in songwriting and through performance. Especially in my performance is were I’ve grown the most. Going back to Slick Rick and Bobby I have the same hunger for rap and delivery as an emcee, but when you fast forward to Trunk Muzik I just went into overdrive. I just wanted to out do everything that I’ve ever done lyrically. The hunger has gotten stronger. The need and want to succeed and be the best has changed drastically. I also got a better grip on the value of my team; the whole team has actually progressed as a unit, which is why all of this is happening. It’s not just my records, its not just me performing, its that collectively we’re grinding and making it happen. 

AllHipHop.com: When can the people expect to see the album?

Yelawolf: Before the year is up you’ll have a full length album. I think we’re going to do another mixtape. I don’t know the title and I don’t know when it’s going to drop and I haven’t even recorded one record for it yet. But I’m not worried because we record really quickly. We recorded “Trunk Muzik” in a week’s time. We’re really just focused on putting visuals to “Trunk Muzik” right now. I’m going out to do some shows for South By Southwest then after that I’m going on tour with Wiz Khalifa, which I’m very excited about too.

AllHipHop.com: I’m thinking about the line in your song “I Wish” when you state “I wish a motherf*cker would tell me I aint Hip-Hop .” Are you running into a lot of haters out there? Because your music is so eclectic do you feel that it is meeting with any resistance or producing any misconceptions for you as the type of artist you are.

Yelawolf: Yeah I think that concept came from people crossing there arms at my shows, and no matter what I would come out with or what type of show I would put on you still have those motherf**kers who are just gonna keep their arms folded. So that record is for them. Actually one time when I was live with Raekwon and opening up for him in Atlanta I came out and had a few hecklers. For the most part the crowd was feeling it, but there were a few people who were just out right booing me and talking s###. So I stopped the music and I dropped “I Wish A Motherf**ker” would because that record is specifically for those types of people. And I delivered every line straight to the dude’s face then jumped into the crowd and delivered the rest of the record to his face. I have a few records for those types of situations like “I Wish” “F**k You” and “Don’t Make Me Pop The Trunk.” It’s all apart of my intensity as an artist.  

AllHipHop.com: I know you love Alabama, so I want to know has Alabama been showing the love back to you. Are you going to get the keys to your city now or have a street named after you, lol?

 Yelawolf: For those who have access to the Internet back home, they know what’s going on and they are hugely supportive. Most people are just waiting for my CD to drop. Honestly in Alabama most people are still waiting for that hardcopy. I mean I live in a neighborhood where nobody has a computer and even if they do have a computer they won’t be online. I don’t even go online much at all. I mean I’ll go online from my Blackberry. I had to catch up I just got a Twitter right before Trunk Muzik dropped. I was forced to do that but now I love it. My town is real Hustle and Flow like the movie. It’s just dope boys and working class people living life. Alabama is hugely supportive of their artist though like I remember when Ruben Studdard won the American Idol there were billboards all over the state of him.

Interview with Yelawolf; story continues after video.

 AllHipHop.com: You’ve had an interesting childhood. Your mother had you when she was a teenager and raised you on her own then you went to California to be a skate boarder. How have these experiences shaped your music?

Yelawolf: I mean everyday of my life has some how influenced and shaped what comes out on my records. All my experiences with my mom and those endless stories as a skateboarder mixed with the life of someone pursuing music, and life on drugs and alcohol has all shaped me. The other day I was just saying that the key to having endless things to talk about as an artist is in using concepts. There are millions and millions of things in the world to think about and create metaphors for songs. I use my own perspective, the things I’ve seen, and the things I’ve been through good and bad to create records. That’s one of the dope things about Hip-Hop  is that you can be unspecific and just talk about anything. Hip-Hop always you to stretch your story out forever. 

AllHipHop.com: Do you apply the same focus into rapping as you do when trying to do a complicated skateboard trick?

Yelawolf: It’s exactly the same kind of passion. When I’m in the booth I get p##### off if I can’t drop the verse the way I want it in the first try. It’s like if I can’t land a trick that I know I can do that I’ve done for years I get mad. I punch s###; I punch the walls in the booth all the time cause I just get so p##### off when I don’t do what I know I can do perfectly. It’s also very independent when you’re on the mic and you’re trying to deliver something that you want, it’s an independent story that you’re trying to convey. It’s just you and the mic that’s all you got in there to get your point across. When you’re out there on the streets with your skateboard it’s just you and your skate board. You have nobody to blame but yourself if you f### up. It’s the same laws and the same principals. It’s about having a style and persevering and landing that s### just like persevering and making a record dope.

AllHipHop.com: Has the skateboarding community supported you as an artist?

Yelawolf: I would like to think so. For the most part all of the skateboarders that I’ve met are real supportive. Not every skateboarder likes Hip-Hop . I grew up skateboarding and through that the world of skateboarding has brought me tons of underground Hip-Hop  and the culture of the music. I’m just a skateboarder I mean I don’t want to write a record about skateboarding anytime soon but it’s just something that I do. I love to do it and I will do it forever.

AllHipHop.com: Most new artist try and fit a certain criteria and adhere to the rules of the industry, but you just don’t care, why is that?

Yelawolf: I really don’t give a f**k because it never pays to care about the politics of the industry. Somebody is always breaking the boundary anyway. I just leave it all up to my team. They trust me when I step on stage and I trust them to go handle the other s**t. I don’t get involved in any of the politics within the industry. I’ve been s**t on so many times by industry people that I just don’t give a f**k anymore.

Wednesday Fashion Feature: VIDEO: Lloyd – The Man With The Magic Vocals

“Young Goldie” a.k.a. Lloyd definitely lives up to his name, turning pretty much every track he lays his vocals on to solid gold, including his most recent hit “Bedrock” with the Young Money team. During a whirlwind trip to New York, Lloyd sat down with the Boss Lady to talk about having the Midas touch when it comes to recording, his hometown pride in the New Orleans Saints’ recent Superbowl win, how his longtime homeboy Lil Wayne is feeling about his impending incarceration, how far along he is with his new album, his personal style (“corporate thuggin'”, as he says) and more.“Even if they look at you as a hitmaker, every time you do something, it’s almost like the first time”. Are you a fan of Lloyd? Let us know!

Ty Fyffe Gives New Rappers A Shot On ‘Raw N’ Uncut’

(AllHipHop News) Producer Ty Fyffe will give upcoming artists from across the world an opportunity to appear on his new upcoming album, Raw N’ Uncut.

Ty Fyffe is a well known producer who has crafted hit singles for artists like Jay-Z, Drake, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J and many others. “As we are aware, Hip-Hop’s inception may have been on the streets of New York City, but today it has no boundaries and I hope artists overseas see how being involved in this competition can put them in front of a totally different audience,”

Ty Fyffe told AllHipHop.com. Aspiring rappers can visit the producer’s official website www.tyfyffe.com and select a “survival kit” to record a song for submission. If the track is selected, it will be featured on Raw N’ Uncut, an album produced by Ty Fyffe and hosted by DJ Kay Slay.

The project will then be distributed over the Internet as a free download.

“This is a chance of a life-time and I am not into co-signing just anything,” Kay Slay added.

The first single from Raw N’ Uncut will be premiered on DJ Kay Slay’s Shade 45 show Street Sweepers Radio in addition to his Drama Hour show on Hot 97. The single will also be promoted by Digiwaxx, a popular service that delivers new music into the hands of tens of thousands of DJ’s and tastemakers across the world. Ty Fyffe and DJ Superstar Jay recently released their mixtape, The Pyrex: A Prelude to Raw N’ Uncut, which features 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, Rakim and others.

Charlotte Hip-Hop The Focus Of ‘Crown Royalty’

(AllHipHop News) The Charlotte Hip-Hop community will be the focus of a new movie that will premiere this Friday (February 26th) titled Crown Royalty: The History of Charlotte Hip-Hop.

A red carpet screening for the movie will take place during CIAA Weekend at the Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte. Crown Royalty examines The Queen City’s Hip-Hop scene by interviewing local artists, labels, personalities and landmarks.

“Charlotte’s Hip-Hop scene is like so many other places that I’ve seen in my travels,” director Mehka told AllHipHop.com. “They have their own style and celebrities, but have yet to break into the mainstream largely in part to its location and small town perception.”

The goal of Crown Royalty is to expose Charlotte’s thriving music scene, which Mehka believes has been unfairly overlooked. “I hope this documentary shines a spotlight not only Charlotte, North Carolina but all the ‘Charlottes’ of the world,” director Mehka explained to AllHipHop.com.

Local artists like Diggie Die of Liquor House Records, Ike Turnah, Big Treal, Tiny T, Wolly Vinyl and Kam Moye, Royal-Tee, Maui, The Transfers, Sonny Rich and other Charlotte rappers are featured in the flick.

Video Update: Yung Berg Denies Pistol Whipping And LA Robbery Report

(AllHipHop News) Yung Berg has released a video where he further denies that he was beaten, robbed or pistol whipped in Los Angeles. The video is below.

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

Previous report.Rapper Yung Berg was one of the victims of a robbery in a posh Los Angeles neighborhood early Sunday morning (February 21).

As AllHipHop.com reported earlier this week, police are investigating the home invasion -style robbery, which took place in Woodland Hills, California.

Police were called to the house around 2:00 AM Sunday morning. Four women were hosting the party when two armed men knocked on the door and forced their way into the home with two gun wielding female accomplices.

Two women inside the home were also pistol whipped by the male intruders, while Yung Berg and seven others in the house were relieved of almost $10,000 in jewelry.

One of the women managed to escape and call police during the robbery.

Yung Berg, born Christian Ward, denied the allegations. A rep told TMZ.com that Yung Berg had been in Las Vegas the entire weekend.

The rep was also allegedly unaware of the incident.

Police seek a black man and a woman who wore dark hooded sweatshirts and another female who wore a red sweatshirt.
