T.I. Explains “Paperwork” Album Title, Plans Movie For Album, Beyonce Release + More (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) T.I. was a hustler before he was a rapper and the business acumen seems to permeate every aspect of his music endeavors. While appearing on Hot 97 Morning Show, T.I. spoke on the meaning behind his new album Paperwork‘s title, how Beyonce and his release will be similar but VERY different and his movie plans for the album.
T.I. says his “most creative and conceptual album” was his 2008 album Paper Trail.Instead of making Paper Trail 2, T.I. decided to draw inspiration from the concept of Paper Trail, but a different variation of it, for Paperwork:
Paperwork, you know, that’s official. If you got paperwork on something then it’s official. Also, if someone has paperwork on you, it can be some trouble. So it’s official. It’s trouble. It’s authentic. Sounds like me. The music supports this theory very well.
T.I. tells the Hot 97 crew that he recorded 250 records for the record and that Pharrell will be producing the bulk of the new album. After narrowing down a 20 song tracklist for the album, T.I. explains his ingenious method to provide visuals for the album, revealing the storytelling focus of his new album:
Of those 20 [songs on the album], I want to take six records at the top, six records in the middle, six records at the end, with two records as intermissions to the three. And I would like to shoot a movie that consists of three short stories, and the three short stories will connect these six records.
According to T.I., Pharrell suggested that instead of selling Paperwork as one album, to break it up into three EP’s for the three short stories. He plans on releasing the album as a complete package similar to Beyonce’s rollout of Beyonce, however T.I. believes his way of releasing will be more financially beneficial for him than Beyonce’s Beyonce rollout was for her and her label:
Where I see she and I differ is she went and shot individual video one by one by one. That must’ve drove the cost through the roof. Me, myself personally I’m doing three short stories. I’m not doing 18 videos, I’m doing three short stories. So the same way we would shoot an episode of House of Lies. We would take five days. This short story shall be complete. Five days, this short story shall be complete. See that will bring my cost down, which will raise my profit margin.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Beyonce’s Brother Going To A Homeless Shelter?
See how they try to play Beyonce? “Beyonce’s Brother.” Well, that is how they are playing it in the tabloids. If you didn’t know, B’s daddy Matthew fathered a child out of his marriage. And that child may be lightweight cursed, unfortunately. It seems that Mr. Knowles has fallen on hard times in the last few years. Anyway, the point is – Mr. Knowles child is allegedly headed to a homeless shelter in LA with his mother Alexsandra Wright. Poor Nixon Knowles! The kid is only four and going through this.
In Touch Mag reports the following:
Alexsandra exclusively tells In Touch that she and their 4-year-old son, Nixon, are financially struggling — and no one in the Knowles family has offered to help find them a home. “Nixon deserves to know his family, and I hope one day he will meet his sister Beyoncé,” Alexsandra tells the mag.
On March 3, a judge ruled that because Mathew, 63, lost his gig as his superstar daughter’s manager in 2011, his child support payments should be retroactively reduced, from $12,000 to $2,400 per month.
The ruling means he won’t have to make another payment for almost two years. “I can’t imagine how Beyoncé feels knowing she has a homeless brother,” Alexsandra says. “I know if I were in the same position, I would reach out. Maybe she is too busy.”
I feel sorry for Mr. Knowles in many ways. He made the biggest star and this is what’s happening? Wow.

Deion Sanders: People Don’t Like Johnny Manziel Because He Has “Ghetto Tendencies” (W/ AUDIO)
(AllHipHop News) Deion Sanders is one of the greatest cornerbacks of all time, but this past Wednesday he was giving out hood passes. During his interview on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Neon Deion explained how Manziel’s “ghetto tendencies” are the root of the negative criticism the young quarterback has received.
The criticism about Johnny Manziel’s inadequacies to be an NFL QB have ranged from lack of pocket discipline to his God given height (5′ 11). However, for the trash talking legend himself, Sanders says the real criticism centers on one of Manziel’s traits:
Oh, please. I love Johnny Football. See, the reason people won’t accept Johnny Football is because Johnny Football has ghetto tendencies. I love Johnny Football.
Manziel has been criticized heavily in the past for his flashy ways. Most notably, during a game against Rice University back in September 2013 where he was benched taunting. Deion claims that is all apart of what makes up “ghetto tendencies”:
Because he was successful, he made it, and he let you all know he made it, and he was cocky, he was flamboyant, and he let you know.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Has Trina Gone Lesbian?
I generally don’t post from MediaTakeOut, because I just don’t. No beef, because they do their thing and most of you secretly go there. But there’s this current rumor that Trina has gone and switched to the other team. That’s what the word is. Now, I have secretly stalked Trina for years, but more recently she has gotten more and more distant from the male species. She does a lot of quotes and whatever on Instagram. Some of these quote (as I recall) often talk about her disenchantment with men. I wonder if this has anything to do with French Montana? Anyway….she ain’t worried ’bout nothing. Trina was reportedly seen making out heavily with with some chicks at a club. The pics weren’t all that though so there’s no need to even post them. But, I’ve also been told that Trina been freaky with the ladies for the longest. So, maybe this is what she’s always been about.

Jennifer Lopez’s NuvoTV Outbids Diddy’s Revolt To Purchase Fuse
(AllHipHop News) Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attempt to expand his media empire has been swatted by another company that is partially owned by his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.
According to The New York Post, J. Lo’s NuvoTV has outbid Diddy’s Revolt to purchase the Fuse network from MSG.
[ALSO READ: Diddy Reportedly Bid $200 Million To Purchase Fuse TV Channel]
Diddy, backed by billionaire businessman Ron Burkle, had reportedly offered $200 million for Fuse. Apparently, NuvoTV’s offering price was slightly higher. The final selling price is still unknown at the moment.
“This is a real blow to Diddy and Revolt,” said Eric Sherman former Fuse president. “Fuse was such a perfect fit for them. But having worked with Jennifer on [American Idol] I’m not surprised she and her team prevailed.”
Lopez’s manager Benny Medina was asked if he thought the former couple competing for the same network was just a coincidence. While he stated that he did not believe their past history together played a part, he is not surprised Diddy and J. Lo went after the same prize.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” said Medina. “In many ways, Jennifer and Sean are cut from the same cloth.”
NuvoTV is an English-language cable channel marketed toward American Latinos. Lopez became a minority owner in 2012. The network reaches 34 million households.

“I make music from the heart,” added Wale. “My emotions are the accents to the picture that I’m painting. Without those, you got a bland-ass picture. Everybody can’t be the dope boy, extra cocky, swag. Nah, I’m natural. I feel like the dichotomy of a human being should show in your music.”
