TODAY’S RUMORS!

MAX B SCORES BIG BUCKS!!

I heard a rumor that Max B was in Raleigh NC performing at Sin City night club and the party was crazy. Max sold out the event with the legendary Cutmaster C on the wheels of steel. Max and his crew did a 3-minute segment dissing Jim Jone. I heard the show was hot though. I’m sure you want to know where the “score” comes in. Before everyone goes into the club Cutmaster C and Max B play NBA 2k9 for 10k. With about five seconds left in the 4th quarter Max B hit a 3-pointer to win the game and the MOOLAH! It was crazy and I heard they have it on film.

THE GAME AND BUCK CHILLIN – BUCK TO RAP-A-LOT?

Buck was kicking it hard this weekend in Houston and Game came hung with him on Sunday. Word on street is that he might be signing or signed to Rap-a Lot. This is Buck with J Prince and his family.

 

50 CENT STRIKES AT RICK ROSS’ HOMEY GUNPLAY

I wasn’t going to use this yesterday, but I had to. Man, 50 Cent is going off.

I will say that I heard this footage is several years old.

THE CAKELADY, RICK ROSS AND ILLSEED!

The Cakelady made that nice cake for Rick Ross, remember her and what Ross did to the cake? Well, she made me an Ill Cake! PEEP IT!

 

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Ginuwine has suggested in a recent interview that LisaRaye went after him, but he didn’t try to get in them drawers.

I am always leery of stats, but they are now saying the AIDS rate in D.C. is higher than that in West Africa.

Looking at what’s going on with Rick and 50…it reminds me how intelligent Lil Wayne was not to engage with 50 Cent.

Sammy Davis Jr’s widow, Altovise Davis, died over the weekend from a stroke in Los Angeles.

Don Imus has revealed that he has stage II prostate cancer.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson had a “violent fight” according to reports. The LAPD were called in at the couple’s home on Saturday morning. For more on this sort of crime, look at the video below.

Nivea called Ryan Cameron and explained why she was acting so kooky recently. Click here for the audio.

T.I.’s fiancee Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle has opened her new nail salon. That’s what up. Gotta hustle hard in these times!

LMAO! I heard from Gyant that Rihanna is gonna be remaking “The Bodyguard,” an old Whitney Houston song. I heard RiRi’s not doing any movies.

LOL. B.O.B. is reportedly changing his name to Bobby Ray. Is he just saying whatever to get some press?

50 Cent is taking the Eminem route and releasing two albums this year. Somehow, I don’t see that happening.

RANDOM QUOTES

Beyoncce told Vogue that she fears her own super power:

“The amount of influence I have on these young girls is scary sometimes. But I also understand how lucky I am to have that.”

Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t really sure what to make of Joaquin Phoenix’s rap career.

“I think that there might be some other explanation or something going on. I’m not quite sure what, but I can’t believe that he’s really going to quit forever to become a rapper. It seems odd.”

Be Be Winans responds quickly!

“To be accused of these allegations, which arose out of a child custody right dispute and my desire to spend time with our children as court ordered, is nothing less than heart wrenching. Since I choose to say nothing negative about my children’s mother, I will make no comment other than to say the allegations are inconsistent with my character and the foundation upon which I was raised and I am prayerful that the matter is straightened out very soon for the sake of our children.”

GUCCI MANE’S FIRST INTERVIEW OUT!

JUELZ SANTANA GOES AT S.A.S.

What can you say? More beef. Banned from Harlem? I wonder what S.A.S. will say.

AND IS GUCCI’S NEW BABE MYA?

All praise due to Gucci, but if he bags Mya, I’m putting my head in a plastic bag and breathing deeply.

At his coming home party, they were reportedly inseparable. For the rest of these spicey pics, click here!

EPIC WIN OF THE DAY

I know T.I. got a bit angry at me, but I am still a big fan of the guy. In Oct. of 2007, the day before a private meeting at Justin’s Restaurant with Minister Farrakhan, T.I.. gets busted with all those guns and stuff. Remember that? Well, TI was to be there along with like DJ Drama, DJ Toomp, Cee Lo, Killer Mike, Chuck D, David Banner, Bryan Michael Cox, Teddy Riley and others. He was able to send a message to the Nation of Islam for Saviours’ Day ’09. Check out this clip of what he had to say…

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

In Baghdad, police report that an Iraqi soccer player has been shot dead. The man was just playing soccer and attempting to kick the tying goal during the weekend of play in the south of Baghdad. A striker from one team was JUST trying to SCORE. Suddenly, a fan of the opposite deal rolls up and shoots the striker in the head in the final minute of the soccer game. The spectator was arrested and his team won. 1-0. The fan that killed the striker LOST.

JUST A PIC OR MORE?

Yesterday, I told you that my very infamous, illseed intel revealed that John Witherspoon and New York might have had something going on. Well, additional intel reveals the following image. It could be an innocent picture…or something far more sinister.

MORE HEALTH CARE WOES

Melange is an illseed reader and she shared a deeply personal story with me. Lets help our citizens.

I can relate to the story about Adrian. In 2005 my HMO found a tumor in my neck, I had hodgkins disease prior in 1991 when I was 12 went thru chemo and radiation, so they decided to play it safe and remove the tumor along with my entire thyroid. In the process of removing my thyroid a week later they did a catscan and found a small tumor. It turned out to be S.E.T.T.L.E cancer. 22 cases worldwide reported since 1996. Because they knew nothing about it my HMO’s had to call overseas to get more info. The info they got back was basically a paragraph long and they told me when it spread to my lungs then they would be able to do something.

I sought a second opinion at city of hope. I asked my HMO to give me a referral otherwise it would cost me $1500 out of my own pocket. I had been with my HMO since I was born, 29 years and they couldnt give me a simple referral, so i filed greivance against them 3 times! They still denied me, I had to pay out of pocket to city of hope, and all city of hope told me is that there is nothing i can do basically.

after loosing my job and trying to hold onto my health insurance because i have to take pills for the rest of my life from not having a thyroid, the healthcare industry is cruel. I worked for the county for 7 years, i paid $400 a month alone on health care just for me, a single adult, that came out my check, and my HMO denied me $1500.

Here I am living with S.E.T.T.L.E. so yea its a b####. The f##### up part about this whole ordeal is one of my HMO doctors said the cancer I have now could have came from when they performed radiation on me in 1991, so they could have been the cause of it.

KELIS IS VERY PREGGERS!

Rapper Kid Cudi Says He’s Quitting Music

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Rapper Kid Cudi is ready to exit the music game even before his debut album is released this summer, a direct result of the pressure, rigors and foolishness of the profession.

The rapper wrote a comprehensive blog post where he explained his looming exodus.

“After the release of my first LP this summer, I am not making any more solo albums,” he explained on kidcudi.com. “I am falling back on being an artist. The drama that comes with it is more overwhelming than the s**t I was dealing wit when I was p### poor broke. My friends get mad at me, say I’ve changed.”

The 25-year-old Cudi has been a hipster darling with his hit record “Day ‘N Nite.” He has also been the subject of controversy.

Last month, the Cleveland native was involved in an altercation that resulted in him being tasered by authorities at an event for Reebok during festivities surrounding the NBA’s All-Star weekend. He claimed he was treated unfairly at the event and by the media afterwards.

Yet, he maintained that leaving the music industry in these terms is not a failure for him.

“I don’t look at it as quitting for I have already accomplished my goal. I have a solid fan base who truly appreciates me and my messages through song,” he said. “I got multiple big records. I have received worldwide critical acclaim from the biggest tastemakers in the game. No regrets.”

The rapper is signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music and is featured on West’s “Paranoid” and “Welcome to Heartbreak.” While West has been a paparazzi favorite for years, Cudi said he’s not interested grief normally associated with a life of fame.

“Muthaf***as talking s**t here and there, spreading rumors, making jokes, trying to judge me, and for what? Does my music poke fun at others? Do I talk s**t about people n my music?” he said, with obvious passion. “I already went to high school once, and got expelled, because it wasn’t for me. I’ma drop out this s**t before n****s try and crucify me.”

Kid Cudi’s debut is expected to drop this summer.

EXCLUSIVE: Duck Down Speaks on Disputed Tupac ‘One Nation’ Release

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Yesterday (March 13), digital label A.E.G. announced that Tupac Shakur and Boot Camp Clik’s fabled One Nation album would finally see an official release on March 20.

 

While Hip-Hop fans were surprised, no one was more so than Duck Down CEO Dru Ha, who explained that his organization was never approached about releasing the album they helped create.

 

“Aside from Pac before he passed and continuing to stay in contact with the Outlawz and the family, nobody has even been in contact with us about our involvement, our interest in tracks, etc.” Dru Ha told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement. “I’ve never heard of this company but we’ll certainly be contacting them to find out what we’re not in the know of.”

 

One Nation was the brainchild of Tupac and Boot Camp Clik, and aimed at dispelling the growing tensions between East and West Coast artists and fans in the wake of the Bad Boy-Death Row feud.

 

According to a press release from A.E.G., the album includes appearances from The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Big Daddy Kane, Greg Nice, and Tha Outlawz.

 

At press time, Afeni Shakur and representatives from the Shakur estate could not be reached for comment.

 

On February 24, Duck Down released Smoke N Mirrors, the debut album from Cypress Hill frontman B-Real.

Homeless People Sue Pras Over Documentary

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Former Fugees member Pras Michel is being sued by three homeless people over his 2007 documentary Skid Row.

 

Michelle Hassan, Wesley Bolden and Terrell Brown claim Michel disguised himself as a homeless man to “star” in the film, which chronicles the rapper’s nine-day experience living in the 50-square-block Skid Row section of downtown Los Angeles in 2006.

 

Michel, along with his film crew, go undercover to document the experience using surveillance cameras.

 

According to the suit, which was filed Friday (March 13) in Los Angeles Superior Court, Hassan, Bolden and Brown say the rapper’s “actions” in the Skid Row film made the “dehumanization and sadness” of their homelessness even tougher.

 

Despite living in tents and other “meager” dwellings in Skid Row, the trio add that they still expected to have privacy at home as they tried to “shield their families…from the dire nature of their circumstances.”

 

Nevertheless, Michel pretended to be one of the homeless as he gained their trust and “filmed those circumstances over a period of 10 years,” adding that the Screen Media Films co-produced feature can now be watched by the plaintiffs’ families as Hassan and Bolden have apparently made it off the streets.

 

Hassan, Bolden, and seek a declaration affirming their claim that they never approved the entertainer’s use of their images as well as profits from the documentary.

Flavor Flav Celebrates 50th Birthday In New York

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Rapper/television star Flavor Flav celebrated his 50th birthday last night (March 15) at BB King’s nightclub in New York City with a concert with Public Enemy.

 

The rapper was joined by Ice-T and Coco, boxing trainer/commentator Emmanuelle Stewart, Grand Master Melle Mel and others like his wife Liz.

 

As a special request, Ice-T performed “Six In The Morning” as Flavor Flav played the drums.

 

Chuck D, the lead rapper in Public Enemy, played hype man, a role usually reserved for Flavor.

 

Flavor Flav said to fellow rapper Ice T, “Thank you for not beating me the f**k up for when I crashed your Ferrari.”

 

Ice-T revealed the incident happened in 1987 and Flav stated that he still had the tail light from the expensive vehicle.

 

Flavor Flav thanked a bevy of rappers, friends and family as a huge cake was presented on stage.

 

Public Enemy performed tracks from their album It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back and other hits such as “Welcome To The Terrordome.”

 

AllHipHop.com streamed the event live last night.

 

Flavor Flav’s birthday is today (March 16).

BEHIND THE BEATS: Drew Correa (“Mr. Carter”, “Prom Queen”)

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Features

Miami, FL

 

Lil Wayne, Trina, Rick Ross, Pitbull

 

Logic, Motif, Phantom, AKAI MPC 3000

 

5 Years.

 

Paying the cost to be the boss has taken on a whole new meaning with regards to showcasing your talent. Brazilian born rising producer Andrew “Drew” Correa has definitely paid his dues in his very short yet promising career. The Miami-based producer who is now Lil Wayne’s top pick may still be an unknown to many, but has already managed to receive a Grammy nomination which many other producers can only hope to obtain.

 

The coy yet diligent twenty five year-old talks about being the only musical one in his family, his decision to quit engineering and the backlash that followed and why he tricked Wayne into picking “Mr. Carter”.

 

AllHipHop.com: How did you know early on that you wanted to produce rather than perform?

 

Drew: I don’t like to perform. I just love Hip-Hop, producing, and making beats. I just love music in general so ever since I was like 15 or 16, I wanted to be the guy behind the scenes.

 

AllHipHop.com: You started off engineering for some pretty big names, how did you make those connections?

 

Drew: Right after University I started interning at a studio in Miami called Studio Center, and worked my way up to engineering. Then I started to work with Trina, Pitbull, Rick Ross, etc. Then Wayne came in to record and him and me vibed really well. And he said he wanted me personally to engineer for him and no one else.

 

AllHipHop.com: Just from the repertoire you had with him in the studio?

 

Drew: He came in one night and we vibed really well and then the next night he told me he wanted me to be his main dude. I was always making beats on the side and he rapped on a bunch of my stuff. I mainly started engineering because I knew that would be the easiest way for me to get my foot in the door and all the connections that it would build and help me as a producer.

 

AllHipHop.com: So you decided a couple years ago to get into producing?

 

Drew: Full time yes. I was always doing it part time but I was so busy engineering with Wayne. He works like an animal, so it’s hard to do anything else. So it got to a point where I was like “you know what, I can’t engineer anymore”, so I quit engineering for Wayne.

 

AllHipHop.com: Were there any drawbacks to you doing that?

Drew: No money, I was broke and unemployed really. I was just constantly making tracks and showing up to Wayne’s sessions and playing beats. It was rough for a minute but luckily I got on Tha Carter III [“Mr. Carter”].

 

AllHipHop.com: What’s Wayne like in the studio?

 

Drew: A workaholic; very creative and a perfectionist when it comes to what he wants. It’s pretty interesting because he doesn’t write anything so it’s interesting to see how he listens to a beat and maps the song out in his head. It’s pretty cool.

 

AllHipHop.com: What was reaction to hearing about the Grammy nomination for “Mr. Carter”?

 

Drew: I knew Wayne would be nominated for something. I knew he would be nominated for best Rap album, but I was really shocked that he got nominated for the album of the year, then to hear that “Mr. Carter” got nominated for best collaboration, that blew me away more than anything.

 

AllHipHop.com: And that was all you?

 

Drew: Me and Infamous. He also co-produced “Prom Queen” with me.

 

 

AllHipHop.com: Was there anything in particular that inspired the creation of “Mr. Carter”?

Drew: Yes. I had this weird dream where I heard that hook in my head. It wasn’t those exact lyrics, but it was something similar and after I thought about it, I wrote the hook and I had my friend sing it. Then I speed him up to make it sound like a sample. Then I started the beat around it and made it sound like I sampled it from something. That’s kind of how I sold it to Wayne. I went into the studio and told him “Wayne I found this sample you got to hear”. So I kind of tricked him and when he heard it he was like “man that’s crazy”.

 

 

AllHipHop.com: That’s your friend on the finished track singing?

 

Drew: Yea, my friend Shiroc, he’s a singer out in Miami. I think Wayne still thinks that’s a sample I don’t think he ever found out.

 

AllHipHop.com: Was it a smooth transition for you working on the Rock record with Wayne?

 

Drew: It wasn’t that hard of a transition. I listen to Rock so it wasn’t that hard. Especially the way Wayne came about it. He called me up and said “Hey come through I want you to make some beats”. I said Ok; he’s never asked me to just come in and make beats and I didn’t know where he was going with it.

 

So Infamous and I went over there and he told us he was doing this Rock thing. We made two beats that night and one of them was “Prom Queen”. We went until like seven that morning. Then he called me a couple days later so we can go hear what he recorded. When he told us it was going be the single it was kind of surreal. He recorded so much that I thought he was just doing it for that night.

 

AllHipHop.com: What type of instruments do you use?

 

Drew: An MPC drum machine, a Motif keyboard, Phantom keyboard and I just recently started messing around with the program Logic. 99% of my tracks are originals unless I find a really really hot sample. But I’m not much of a sampler.

 

AllHipHop.com: Would you say that you have a particular style?

 

Drew: No my style is all over the place. After “Mr. Carter” came out a lot of people were asking me for that same sound.

 

AllHipHop.com: Did you decline?

 

Drew: Well I gave it to them, but I don’t want to do something that I’ve already done, I want to keep it fresh. A lot of producers have that signature sound and I want to stay away from that. I want to be that one dude where you hear “Mr. Carter” then you hear “Prom Queen” and you’re like oh, is that the same guy?

 

AllHipHop.com: Tell me about your craziest in-studio moment.

 

Drew: Actually I don’t think I should say [laughs]. I don’t know if I could do that, Wayne might kill me.

 

AllHipHop.com: Ok someone else then.

 

Drew: When I was in the studio with Wayne and Wyclef. Wyclef made a track for Wayne on the spot. It was just cool. 

 

AllHipHop.com: So how long have you been officially producing; seems like you came out of nowhere.

 

Drew: Officially I would say like four or five years really. Yea it always seems that way but it’s never that. When I was engineering I was always making beats on the side. I quit engineering in early 2007 and when I quit every day I was just making records. But I’ve been always producing since 2005.

 

AllHipHop.com: Talk about the first time you got jerked. Now you have to tell me this one since you didn’t answer the previous question fully.

 

Drew: There’s so many empty promises in the music industry. I’ve done so many records with up and coming artists that never had a release date and I never got paid for a lot of my production; just invested a lot of time and effort.

 

You get jerked a lot especially as an engineer. You work some crazy sometimes 16-hour sessions for five days a week and at the end they dip and run and don’t pay you. From being around as an engineer and watching other producers get screwed, I kind of caught on to how the industry works. So, on the production end I haven’t really been jerked.

 

AllHipHop.com: That never turned you off to doing all of this?

 

Drew: It didn’t turn me off but it p##### me off. I would probably never work with that artist again but it definitely didn’t turn me off. I’ve been in situations where the artist would just completely disrespect you and call you all kinds of messed up names. Those I think are really the worst moments. When you have like a really big top notch artist to say bad things about you is crazy. It’s never their fault.

 

AllHipHop.com: Who are some artists you would love to get in the studio with if given the opportunity now that you’re Drew Correa, Grammy nominated producer?

 

Drew: I definitely want to do something with Jay-Z; Britney Spears, I would love to do something with her, Nas; just all the people I really grew up listening to. Jadakiss, LL Cool J. I’d even like to collaborate with other producers like Alchemist. I would also like to do a compilation album and make it diverse; Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, Rock.

 

AllHipHop.com: How do you hope to see your career expand in the next few years?

 

Drew: You can expect a lot of great music. In a couple years I’m definitely going to be up there. All sorts of genres; I’m always going to go back to Hip-Hop no matter what, but definitely a lot of Pop records and Rock. I got some stuff coming out too with Fat Joe.

 

AllHipHop.com: What does your family think about your career?

 

Drew: They’re in shock. I come from a poor background and the only family I have here are my mom, dad, aunt and uncle. Everyone else is in Brazil. So they just can’t believe it. My family didn’t have a lot of money coming in so they’re really proud of me and can’t believe I’ve reached where I’m at now. No one else in my family is musical at all.

 

ALBUM REVIEW: The-Dream – Love Vs. Money

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Alternatives

It’s really getting hard to not like The-Dream…really hard.A glimpse into Terius “The-Dream” Nash’s abilities was provided with his debut album Love/Hate, but now with his sophomore effort Love Vs. Money, The-Dream has made one thing clear: He’s serious, here to stay, and a force to be reckoned with. Love Vs. Money is simply a masterpiece. The-Dream, through his monumental writing skills – penning such hits as J. Holliday’s “Bed,” Mary J. Blige’s “Just Fine,” and Rihanna’s “Umbrella” plus superb production (with the production of beat guru and master producer Christopher “Tricky” Stewart) – has put together one of the most complete and fun R&B albums in a long time. What makes this effort so special is Dream’s ability to not only capture listeners with dynamic, swirling beats, but also to relate to them with identifiable messages disguised behind playful, witty wordplay. Take “Walking on the Moon,” an up-tempo, futuristic track featuring Kanye West where The-Dream proclaims, “I’ll pull down a cloud for you/I’ll circle the stars and bring you one back.” Anywhere else, this line is almost laughable in its corniness, but with The-Dream, it works. Everything “just works.” Whether it’s the heavy synthesizers on the album’s first single “Rockin’ That Thang,” the pounding 808’s on the sexy “Put It Down,” the raging hi-hat on the title track, or the message of a woman’s desire for the material things in the album’s standout track “Fancy”. Of course a Lil’ Jon beat (“Let Me See The Booty”) and a few cameos (Kanye West, Mariah Carey) don’t hurt either. If there is a low point on the album, it has to be the ballad “Sweat it Out,” as The-Dream, talks about the consequences done on a woman’s mane after a round of hot, steamy sex (“Call up Tischa, your beautician/ cuz your hair is gon’ need fixin’”) just ever so slightly loses the excitement set forth by the rest of the album.The-Dream has worked wonders before. He wrote “Umbrella,” one of the most successful singles in music history, in 12 minutes, and his entire Love/Hate album in nine days. But it is Love Vs. Money, that has produced the largest phenomenon – an album with not one “skip over” track. Get this album. You won’t have any regrets; except for the small problem of not being able to put the CD down.**To get the latest AllHipHop Alternatives Features, follow us on Twitter @ www.twitter.com/AHHalternatives**

Hip-Hop Rumors: Rihanna LEAVES Chris Brown? 50’s P### Prob? Jay-Z To Sign Brandy?

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Rumors

DISCLAIMER:

All

content within this section is pure rumor and generally have no factual

info outside of what the streets have whispered in our ear. Read on.

THE DAILY TWO CENTS

I did a quick, but cool story on St. Ides and all the rappers that did commercials for them. Everybody from Pac to Biggie to Rakim co-signed the malt liquor with exclusive songs. Check out the songs, here!

Also, If you want to see two version of that new Kanye West and 88 Keys video “Viagra,” please click here.RIHANNA LEAVES CHRIS BROWN!?!OHHHHHH SNAP! I heard Rihanna has left Chris Brown! Rumor has it, after the Tina Davis fiasco, Rihanna gave him an ultimatum – FIRE HER OR ELSE! For the clueless, Tina Davis and Chris have rumored to be in a long-term jumpoff situation. They both have denied it. Anyway, it seemed that it has been falling apart for some time. Chris wasn’t with the book tour and all that, because he wasn’t getting any money out of the deal. And recently, we saw RiRi partying with Jay-Z, Beyonce, Brandy and the crew. I’m being told Jay-Z still isn’t happy with Brown and seeks to protect Rihanna…still developing. Once Oprah mentions your name…you need to follow that road and benefit from it.

JOE BUDDEN FACTS

From  what I understand, Joe Budden was all set to do his show in Massachusetts and then the BS started again. Joe actually called AllHiphop to set the record straight. He was not a happy camper, because he said something did some malicious phone gangstering and got the show cancelled. Here is an account that jibs with what Joe said.

Whatup AllHipHop, We were the ones that BOOKED the Joe Budden show and this the the REAL reason why the show was canceled. Someone called the Cape Cod Licensing board posing as a representive for the City of Cambridge, Mass which happens to be the same place that Joe Budden performed on March 5th (Middle East Nightclub). They warned reps in Cape Cod not to do the show or their would be problems. The Cape Cod Licensing board then called the Pufferbellies Nightclub and suggested that they not open. Seeing that their license may be pulled if there WERE any altercations, especially after the warning, Pufferbellies then called us at 5pm on Friday March 13th to suggest we cancel the show. Joe Budden did not pull out of the show and actually did a Video drop promoting the show on Thursday March 12th. – ThisIsTheREMIX.com

LOOKING FOR JIM JONES?I don’t know what Jim Jones may have done, but I heard that Detroit thugs were looking for HIM! Now, first of all, there was a news story/rumor that Trick Trick got shot. The Detroit Free Press is saying Trick Trick got shot. (Read the news story here.) Not that they are the end all, but it would seem that they would know. MY sources are saying that Trick Trick didn’t get shot at all. Now, I know this rumor is in heavy rotation, but I am being told that it’s “still developing.” On the flip side, something did happen at the show. Somebody got shot! I don’t know how true this is, but they are also saying that the guys that started the mess were actually looking to get at Jim Jones. WHEW.

This is Jim talking about the matter with Miss Info.

NEW YORK AND JOHN WITHERSPOON?

People that don’t know why John Witherspoon is dissing New York because they where rumored to have had a little fling a ways back. The people that I got this from say that New York likes older men and that there was a bit of a “thing” going on. This is just a bit of illseed guess work, but maybe John’s lashing out, because most people do when they get out a a relationship.

BAD BIG DADDY KANE RUMOR!I don’t know why somebody would start a rumor about Bid Daddy Kane, but here you go. Somebody tried to spread that Kane had died somehow. WRONG. Big Daddy Kane will never die to me so “Long Live The Kane!”

50’s P#### PROBLEM?

I could be wrong and this could just be some “insider” speculation, but there are some very real regulations that pornographers have to adhere to. Well, when you go to the very revelatory p#### that shows Rick Ross’ other BM Brook rockin’ like a p### star, the video has easy access. So, easy…it might violate certain requirements. I don’t know!!!! What the hell is going on!?

CHRISTINA MILIAN DENIES BEING ENGAGED

Just woke up from finishing some work in the studio late last night to some eager phone calls as to whether or not I am Engaged…. No, I am not. Point blank, period. Pretty funny. I really don’t have a lot to say about it… I think since I announced the title of my new album “Elope” these rumors seem to be looming around lately… It’s an album title and a title track. And to me “Elope” represents taking control of my life and being an adult making my own responsible decisions. Despite anyone’s judgment…. I have not run off and Eloped either, LOL. So….that being said.. Stay focused and to anyone who thinks my life is a Publicity stunt… GROW UP. Life is short, enjoy it and stop picking on what I do.

CROOKED I SHOOTING VIDEO…

SMH. What is the world is going on? Check out this video of somebody bussin’ their gun at Crooked I. What that hell!?

Why would somebody want to kill Crooked I?

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Today is Flavor Flav’s 50th birthday! Wow! That’s a blessing, in all actually!

I am hearing the Gucci Mane and his management have some beef…or they are about to part ways. I don’t know if anybody would care about that though.

Illseed.com Exclusive: There is a new song in the Baltimore area called “Chris Brown That Trick.” SHAMELESS!

Rumor has it, Brandy might be signing to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. She could use the boost!

Rumor has it, Kanye West might show up to the SXSW festivities. That sounds about right.

According to recently reports, Lil Kim owes exactly $979,090 in delinquent state and federal taxes.

Chilli and Larry Johnson are reportedly an item now.

Chaos and mayhem broke out at Tyra’s America’s Next Top Model audition. Dozens of people were hurt after somebody yelled “fire.” Three people were arrested. Want to see some gangster  looking dudes scary stinky? Click here…lmao!Just Blaze reportedly cut himself so bad that he required 19 stitches. Just gave some info like, “I can see inside my hand” and “If I extend my finger this hole is about an inch wide and half an inch high. I can see everything. Veins n all.”

GANGSTA BOO IS COMING….

Not like THAT! The rapper is making her return to music! Do any of you remember when Gangsta Boo almost went Gospel? Her name was Lady Boo. Anyway, those days are gone. She is about to release Forever Gangsta. Check out her vlog below.

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY

I’ve featured this guy a few times on the site, but let me give him some new burn.

UPDATE: Police Confirm Trick Trick Shooting At Jim Jones Show

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

UPDATED: 12:45 PM

 

Popular Detroit rapper Trick Trick was shot in his hometown of Detroit during a show featuring New York rapper Jim Jones this morning (March 16).

 

Trick Trick is in a Detroit area hospital, where he is recovering from a single gunshot wound sustained during the melee, reports the Detroit Free Press.

 

Sources close to the rapper have denied to AllHipHop.com that he was wounded by gunfire, but the paper reported police confirmed his identity.

 

“We did speak to this individual,” Sgt. Eren Stephens Bell told the Detroit Free Press. “His musical performance name is Trick Trick. I’m confirming he’s a local rapper.”

 

According to sources, the rapper was in the Esko Lounge in Detroit when a fight broke out around 1:30 am.

 

Sources told AllHipHop.com that about 10 men rushed the lounge area, where they became involved in an altercation with Jones, of Harlem New York.

 

Shots were fired during the fracas and Trick Trick, born Christian Mathis, was struck in the thigh while an another unidentified man was hit in the arm.

 

Trick Trick was taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital, where he is expected to fully recover. No arrests were made as of press time.

 

However, a source close to Trick Trick has completely denied the story in its entirety.

“Trick Trick was home and in bed when this shooting happened,” a source close to Trick Trick told AllHipHop.com, previously denying the account. “As soon as Jim Jones walked in the club some n***as rushed him, then you saw people scattering because you heard the gunshots.”

 

A controversial personality,  Trick Trick has worked with artists like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kid Rock and Ice Cube, and had recently come under criticism for his comments towards the gay community.

TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE: Bun B

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Reviews / Music

On March 31, 2009, UGK’s final album, 4 Life, will be released. Still waving the mighty UGK flag, despite the untimely passing of Pimp C on December 4, 2007, is Bun B.

 Anyone weary of Bun’s ability to maintain the precedent set with UGK’s triumphant Underground Kingz (2007) album—never mind the Port Arthur, TX duos legacy—need not fret. “The music from this album was part of a field of

music that we recorded through the process of the UGK double album and beyond,”

says Bun. “We basically were on a roll musically, and we didn’t feel like we

should stop so we kept making music, and it got to the point where—if we don’t

have a place for it now, we’ll just keep it and we’ll figure out where to put

it later.”

Down the line there will be a few UGK affiliated projects.

Bun will drop his Trill OG solo album in

June, via Rap-A-Lot/Asylum, and the late Pimp C, whose widow has control of his

catalog, has a posthumous project in the works too. While the group completed their contractual

commitment to Jive/Sony, the label surely has unreleased UGK material in the

vaults.

Needless to say completing the UGK album at hand wasn’t an easy task.

“It was definitely a labor of love,” says Bun of the album whose guest list includes 8Ball

& MJG, E-40, Big Gipp and Too $hort and production from Mannie Fresh and Cory Mo. “These are all people that anybody would instantly recognize as friends and

family with UGK,” he continues. “They’re good friends of mine, and

good friends of Pimp’s, and it just made sense. I didn’t want it to seem like I was taking advantage of the

situation and go for the biggest names I could get just for the sake of doing

that. I felt this album deserved

better, and the people deserved better.”

To keep the mood light we asked Bun B for his Top 5 MCs Dead

or Alive. The resulting list certifies what you already knew, Bun B knows his

Hip-Hop, and it’s Pimp C and UGK for life.

 

 

Pimp C

“Number one I say Pimp C. And it’s not even because he was

in a group with me. People have to realize that he named himself Pimp C at 16,

in high school. When it was not a cool thing for a teenager to call himself a

pimp. This cat was always years before his time. He was always against the

grain and always sticking further [out] than everybody else.

 

“In retrospect, people look at a lot of s**t he was saying

and understand it, but then it was taken as simple rhetoric or just an attitude

or whatever you want to call it. 

But now when people see it, they see it’s really more about passion and

sincerity than anything else and just being brutally honest. 

 

Kool G. Rap

“For me personally, Kool G. Rap

was who I felt I could be because I looked at Big Daddy Kane and I was like I ain’t gon’ never be Kane. It

wasn’t about the lyricism but it was about the personality. I was like I’m

never gon’ be into myself like that so to me it was

G. Rap.  Just the

delivery and the nonchalance of it, the matter-of-factness of it. I look

now and see that the majority of people we tend to call good lyricists or

people that have a great flow, a lot of it comes from a lot of early work G.

Rap was doing.

Rick

Royal

“Rick Royal, from the Royal Flush on Rap-a-Lot Records, to

me was one of the greatest songwriters, not just rapper, but really an

incredible songwriter for himself and other people as well. Rick Royal wrote “Deeper” for Boss, and “Progress of Elimination.”  But he wrote a song called “I Never Made

20” for Royal Flush, if you can find that song and tell me that that’s not one

of the best written rap songs in your life [Ed. Note: We tried in vain to find an MP3 of “I Never Made 20.” Do share if you happen to have a copy.]. I would say I’d give you something,

but people would just say no just to get something.

 

“But seriously, I’d really like to hear that song and see

what year it was recorded and then tell me it ain’t

one of the best songs ever.  It was

Pimp’s favorite rap song. Period. Hands down, nothing

remotely close.  When we

actually heard the song I was 20, he was 19 and it really hit him, it really

hit him hard. When you hear it you be like, “Wow,” this is a crazy record, and

you couldn’t see that being anybody’s life.  But it’s really a reflection of the paranoia that young

Black men feel.”

 

Scarface

“Scarface, I think for the fact that watching him excel as a

lyricist basically outlined my direction and the path that I had to take with

some deviation, but I wanted to consider myself a lyricist, I wanted respect

from lyrics and ‘Face was the person closest to me that had accomplished that,

so I just tried to follow and walk that walk that he walked. Face’s first

record was ’86 or ’87, around four years before me. 

 

Young Jeezy

“And the last one I wanna make

sure I hit the nail on the head. 

People always say Tupac or Biggie and I think

that’s safe.  You know, it’s real

easy to say that.  But I have to be

honest, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but I think when people look back

in retrospect, I think Jeezy is going to be one of

the great communicators of the Hip-Hop game. 

 

“I honestly believe that.  I believe that Young Jeezy opened

up a more direct line of dialogue with the consumer and rap music that had ever

been accomplished.  You know, it’s

very core.  A lot of people assume

that it’s just very core drug s**t, but then when you look at The Recession album, just the simple

fact that he had named it The Recession

early before the recession came, that really comes from being connected to the

environment to the point where you see the effects of what’s going on

firsthand. And when you speak in terms of recession, which is basically

everybody losing money or losing value, the main people that are going to be

affected first are the people with the least amount of money or value.  And that’s our inner city, urban

people. I don’t mean urban as just people of color because unfortunately, all

poor people aren’t just people of color. 

It’s some white people doing bad. And it just goes to show you that

color doesn’t get you ahead in this world. 

 My President Feat. Nas – Young Jeezy

“But not to get off track, when it’s all said and done, we

all have moments when the music is questionable. I don’t think anybody’s going

to leave this rap game with a clean slate.  You look at KRS One’s first album, Criminal Minded with him holding a pistol, “My Uzi Weighs a Ton”

with Public Enemy. We all have our moments with questionable behavior.  With that being said, when it’s all

looked backed on in retrospect, I think they’re going to really have to give

that kid a lot more credit than they give him now cause I don’t know anybody

that listens to it and doesn’t love it.

 

“I find it very telling that Jeezy

is the only originator that ended up making more money than his predecessors. Usually

when somebody broke a style, other people got paid off that style way more than

they did, but with his s**t, it was really unique to us believing him.  Because normally when that happens,

it’s based off a gimmick, and then somebody ends up doing your gimmick better

than you.  But because his s**t is

based off reality, the only way you could outdo it is if you had a truer view

and you have to damn near be the junkie or be the actual cocaine to tell it to

give more inside information. You have to be the bounced check in the evicted

apartment, not the people getting evicted, you know?”

 

 

THE

SIDEBAR

Bun B actually could have rolled on with UGK

without Pimp C… Yeah, right.

 

“This may sound crazy to some people but you got to remember

my record deal comes from the early nineties; there was a death clause in the

UGK contract. Basically it said that if one of the members should die, the other

member has the right if they want to, to either bring in someone to replace, or

continue in some other form or fashion as a group. I chose neither. It was

easier to make that decision because this album officially ends the UGK deal.”

Knockout Nation: Barrera-Khan, Kirkland Reigns Supreme, Hopkins’ Move Up, Mayweather’s Comeback, Pipino Cuevas

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Uncategorized

Barrera: “I am not your stepping stone.”

Today

(March 14), Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera (65-6, 43 KOs) is on a

mission to prove that he’s still an elite fighter. The test comes in

the form of young British sensation Amir Khan (19-1, 15 KOs), who’ll

face the cagey veteran in the toughest bout of his young career.

Since losing back to back fights to Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao in 2007, Barrera has won two stay busy fights.

After

hearing Khan trainer Freddie Roach refer to him as being washed up,

Barrera has made it clear to Khan and Roach that he expects to deliver

the same performance he did to Naseem Hamed 8 years ago.

“A

defeat is not in my contract… He wants to use me as a way to a world

title fight, but I have news for him, he is not using me as a stepping

stone,” Barrera told the Manchester Evening News. “Naz was a great

fighter with a hard punch, one of the best I have ever fought. The

Hamed fight was my graduation, the fight that put me on the next step,

and got me ready for everyone that followed.”

Khan is seeking to rebound from an embarrassing 1st

round knockout to Breidis Prescott last September. This fight

represents his first real test since receiving a soft touch in the form

of Oisin Fagan in December, which Khan won by 2nd round TKO.

This

fight is a tricky one to predict. It’s evident that Barrera is past

prime, but he was still formidable enough to drop and badly hurt Juan

Manuel Marquez. Additionally, he went the distance with Pacquiao,

boxing’s current pound for pound #1.

On

the other hand, Khan when disciplined can box well from a distance and

keep himself out of harm’s way. However, the young talent also has the

propensity to mix it up unnecessarily at times, resulting in him

getting rocked and in one case ruthlessly KO’d.

Look

for the crafty and sneaky Barerra to rattle Khan with dirty, bullying

tactics to initiate a brawl. The Baby-Faced Assassin has the power to

hurt Khan, and Khan’s recuperative abilities will decide whether he can

gut out a tough decision win.

This should be a good one, and American fans with $20 to spare should order this budget-sensitive PPV.

Lucian Brute Wins by TKO on ShoBox

On

Friday (March 13), IBF super-middleweight champ Lucian Bute (24-0, 19

KOs) retained his title with a dominating TKO stoppage over Fulgencio

Zuniga (22-4-1, 19 KOs).

Zuniga

was never in the fight, as Bute constantly peppered him with stinging

counter shots. Normally an inside pressure fighter, Zuniga was reduced

to single looping shots from the outside which left him an easy target

for Bute’s handspeed.

In the 4th,

Bute landed a perfect left uppercut to the solar plexus, causing Zuniga

to visibly cry out in pain and crumple to the floor. After barely

beating the count, the tough Colombian took several more hard shots

before the merciful ref stoppage.

Next

up for Bute is a rematch against Librado Andrade, the man he beat in

highly controversial fashion last year due to a gift referee count in

the 12th round.

Hopkins-Adamek  in Negotiations

Main

Events and Golden Boy Promotions have begun preliminary discussions for

a July HBO fight between cruiserweight champ Tomasz Adamek and

light-heavyweight star Bernard Hopkins.

Adamek is coming off a chilling KO of Jonathon Banks in his February 27 IBF title defense.

Last October, Hopkins shocked the boxing world with a dominating, shut-out win over previously undefeated Kelly Pavlik.

At

press time, the fight will be contested at cruiserweight, and offer

Hopkins the chance to pick up a world title in his third weight class.

If

Hopkins wins, his all time pound for pound ranking shoots through the

roof. Adamek represents a credible cruiser with legit knockout power

and skill.

Hopkins

obviously holds an advantage of being quicker then the sometimes

robotic and plodding Adamek. And while some may get images of a

Hopkins-Pavlik replay, it can’t be stressed enough that Hopkins would

be the one moving up this time and coming off 9-month layoff.

This is a risky and intriguing fight for both men. Hopefully it comes off.

Mayweather Comeback Announcement Imminent?

It

seems any time a fighter has a big win between lightweight and

welterweight, Floyd Mayweather’s name is brought up as the next

potential opponent. But now, it may appear that after over a year into

his “retirement” Money Mayweather himself may finally end all the

speculation.

Over

the last several weeks, reports have been coming out of Las Vegas that

Mayweather has been vigorously training in his personal gym and also

sparring.

According

to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Mayweather has abruptly canceled a

fundraiser and gala for the struggling city of Middletown, Ohio. A

spokesman for the former champ revealed that Mayweather’s actions would

be explained after a big announcement is made sometime this week or

next.

Assuming

that Floyd’s announcement isn’t something underwhelming such as a new

signing to Philthy Rich Records, who do you want to see Money

Mayweather face in a return bout?

http://www.sodahead.com/question/280644/?link=p_280644Poll AnswersKirkland Beats Julio Into Submission

Feared

junior middleweight James Kirkland (25-0, 22 KOs) continued his path of

destruction with a gradual beatdown of proven puncher Joel Julio (34-3,

31 KOs) last Saturday (March 7).

Julio was in constant retreat, and struggled when Kirkland took his best shots and never wavered with his pressure.

Tired, cut, and with nothing left, Julio opted to retire on his stool before the 7th round.

Keep

in eye on Kirkland. If he tightens up his defense, we can possibly

witness the next big American star. If not, we may have another Jeff

Lacy on our hands.Throwback Fighter of the Week: Jose “Pipino” Cuevas

While

stars Tommy Hearns and Ray Leonard received the big headlines in the

late 70s and early 80s, hardcore fans also enjoyed the bouts of Mexican

KO specialist Pipino Cuevas.

Cuevas

turned pro at the young age of 14 in 1971. Without a solid amateur

career, he was forced to learn on the job and dropped 5 of his first 12

bouts.

Cuevas began gaining his stride in 1976, when he won the WBA welterweight title by knocking out Clyde Gray in 2 rounds.

He was a fighting champion; defending his title 8 times over

the next 3 years, and winning all but one by knockout.

Cuevas’ title defense victims included tough contenders Harold Weston

and Angel Espada, who both quit after receiving broken jaws.

In

1980, Cuevas sought to further enhance his reputation by disposing of a

gangly, undefeated Detroit fighter named Tommy Hearns.

Using

his amazing reach, speed, and power, Hearns drilled Cuevas with two

lethal right hands that dropped the rugged champion flat on his face

for a 2nd round KO.

Afterward, Cuevas was never the same and delivered inconsistent performances for the remained of his career.

His last high-profile bout came in 1983, when he suffered another brutal knockout at the hands of a Roberto Duran on the comeback trail  .

After going 6-6 over his final 12 bouts, Pipino Cuevas retired in 1989.

In retirement, he went into business for himself and currently owns a restaurant and a security company in Mexico City.

In

2002, Cuevas was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

The following year, RING Magazine listed him 31 on their list of the

100 greatest punchers of all time.

Jose “Pipino” Cuevas’ final record stands at 35-15-0, 31 KOs.

Highlights

Cuevas vs. Ranzany
