YOOOOOOOOOOOO! I heard there is a warrant out for the arrest of Nasir Jones!
Why?
BECAUSE HE KILLED THAT J.COLE “I LET NAS DOWN” REMIX!
BODY BAG EM AND TOE TAG EM!
Nas is a true master….whew! So, NO…there is no real warrant out for his arrest, no real life crime committed, but he murdered that “I Let Nas Down.” I just heard it right now and I can’t believe this dude is getting BETTER as he ages. Its almost like he is aging in reverse, becoming more skillful. Give it a listen, right here if you are a little late like me.
PLEASE LISTEN: J. Cole “Let Nas Down” (REMIX) feat. Nas
People still talking about Hip-Hop being dead? MAN PLEASE!
Long live Nas! And Kendrick. And Cole.
He even looks about the same age as these dudes. OK…enough. PEACE!

(AllHipHop Exclusive) Last week AllHipHop.com ran a story about a recent interview former Cash Money rapper Turk did with the G14 internet radio show. In the interview, Turk was asked his opinion about Lil Wayne’s motivation for his lyric “hoes love me like Satan” from the song “B*tches Love Me.” Turk’s answer began with him sharing his own personal experiences with drug use and left an impression that could be taken to mean Wayne’s choice of words was connected to being under the influence of controlled substances.
Turk later addressed the media’s coverage of his comments in a tweet and through a press release stating that his words were taken out of context. AllHipHop.com was able to speak with Turk by phone so he could directly discuss the situation and clear up the matter.
In part 1 of AllHipHop’s exclusive interview, Turk explains his previous comments, his issues with the media, and whether he believes Lil Wayne is currently using drugs. In part 2, Turk also covers new music, possibly signing with another major label, his view on the young rappers in the game, and what’s next for the Louisiana native.
AllHipHop.com: You felt like the media took your comments about Lil Wayne from the G14 interview out of context. Can you explain exactly what you meant when you were referencing your own personal drug issues in your answer to that question?
Turk: I never talk behind a person’s back. Where I come from if we can’t say it to your face we ain’t gonna say it all. My whole thing with that situation, on what they was asking me, is I really couldn’t speak on the Lil Wayne that they talk about today because I don’t know that Lil Wayne. What I mean by that is the Wayne that the media portrays him to be. When I see Lil Wayne, I see a Lil Wayne that I know on a personal level. The Wayne I know, we still cool. I reached out to Wayne when I felt they twisted my words in the title of the interview – “Turk [suggests] drugs overpowering Lil Wayne.” That’s a lie.
I did talk about my drug addiction and I did compare my situation with the person they were portraying Wayne to be. Not personally saying Wayne is a drug addict, cause I’ve personally never seen him do any drugs so I couldn’t speak on that person. They took it, ran with it and twisted it up. Not G14, the other blogs. I understand the business side of the media, but them lies got to stop. If you gonna do an [article] on me. Say it like I say it. Don’t twist my words, because that becomes a problem.
You did put out a tweet saying you felt that like the media took you out of context, but that was about eight hours after a lot of the blogs had already started running the stories, and on your Twitter feed you actually retweeted a lot of those articles.
That was before I read it. I didn’t think they was gonna just twist my words like that. Then when I actually took time to read it, I was like ‘damn they trying to start some beef.’ So before it even got out of hand I reached out to Lil Wayne and I let him know what they was trying to do.
I don’t participate in no media frenzy. That ain’t me. I don’t even like that s###. They always trying to start some s###. I just did 8 Years, 8 Months and 16 days not for no b#######. For something that was real life, so I don’t play no games. I don’t want nobody playing with me. I don’t have no beef with anybody in the industry. I’m home. I’m a family man. I got responsibilities, so I ain’t with no b#######. So I’m gonna make sure I make that clear.
The interviewer asked you a question about a particular lyric that Wayne said, and then in your response you started by talking about your own personal drug use. Could you see how it could be interpreted that you were making a connection between drug use and the Wayne was acting?
I could see that, but at the end of the day read the whole message and see that I was talking about me. G14 didn’t take it that way, because they was the one who got the whole interview. AllHipHop.com took it to mean that way, because y’all wanted it to mean that way. I don’t have no ill will toward y’all. I not mad at it, but I’m addressing that today, because I felt that it was some f##### up s### for y’all to do it like that. Then everybody else seemed like they ‘followed the leader.’ Then when we cleaned it up, they followed that. The media do whatever’s out there. That’s their job to create a story, but my story is real. When it comes from me it’s gonna be ten times a hundred.
Just to be clear. You’re saying that you don’t believe Wayne is on drugs?
I don’t have no evidence. That’s like me going to trial, and they saying I’m guilty for something and they just got circumstantial evidence. They just got “he said, she said.” They didn’t see nothing. Guess what? I’m gonna walk. It don’t matter if I did it or not. I’m going walk, because they don’t have no evidence of that.
I don’t have no evidence of Wayne doing nothing. I haven’t seen it in my eyesight. As far as what people rap about, I rap about s###. It’s just like Denzel Washington acting in Training Day. That don’t mean he a bad person. When he go home, he’s a family man. We paint pictures. We got people that really do live this lifestyle. I use to do heroin and cocaine, but I don’t do it no more. I can still rap about it, because I done been did that. We still got people going through that struggle.
So to answer that question I don’t know. I haven’t seen it. When me and [Wayne] talk, he sounds sober to me. He don’t sound like he’s out of his mind or none of that. We talk about our family and what we about to do in this industry. Everything else, that s### for the birds.
I want to go off something you said about artists painting pictures, telling stories. There has been a lot of controversy the last few months in Hip Hop dealing with that very subject. You had the Rick Ross situation, the situation with Wayne and the songs that cost them to lose endorsement deals. That started a debate about should artists be held responsible for what they say or is it just entertainment. What’s your take on that?
It’s entertainment, but we hold a standard in the world, so sometimes we got to watch what we say. Even if it sounds right at the time. We got to watch what we say, because people are gonna judge us. They gonna point all they fingers at us. Ain’t none gonna point back at them. They gonna point all eight fingers and two thumbs at us. We gotta watch what we say, because at the end of the day the majority rules. The system, that’s why I put out a cd called Blame It On The System, they want us to continue to keep taking these loses so they can move us out the way, and put somebody else in the position and continue to make a mockery out of us.
My whole thing is we have to watch what we say sometimes, or be able to suffer the consequences when it comes. But when it’s come to b#######, you address that too. I’m gonna stand for everything man, so I won’t fall for anything. And everybody around me I gonna make them respect me. That’s all ask for is respect, and I’m gonna give respect. That’s what we missing in this game. F### the media. No disrespect to AllHipHop.com or any other bloggers or anybody else reporting these stories. At the end of the day you have to realize you’re a human being, I’m a human being. We all come from something, and we all trying to get somewhere. So we should stop trying to tear each other down to make ends meet or get to a certain place. I’m off that.

Justin Bieber has been bugging out for a minute now and the people are looking to hold him accountable by making him go to rehab. Yeah, his manager recently said that he smokes too much weed and drinks too many 40 ounce malt liquors per day. Just kidding about the 40’s. DAYMMM….but guess who they are blaming for is downfall…RAPPERS! Yeah, on the low, they are directly blaming rappers like Tyler The Creator and Lil Twist and others! They are blaming his wild out ways on them and the rehab is really a way to get him away from these undesirables! That’s right. Rumor has it, they don’t think he’s really got a drug addiction prob…he’s addicted to these MFers!!!!!!
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
Lil Mama had some words for Nicki Minaj recently. I think Mama needs to just not say anything that doesn’t have to do with promoting this TLC movie at his particular moment. She’s got MC Lyte at her back, but that won’t help if they get into a beef. She said: “It’s a lot of underground women who are trying to break through, but on a mainstream level the one person that I really hear on the radio is Nicki Minaj. A lot of times, I hear her say. ‘I do this for women,’ and ‘I’m doing this for all of us,’ while she’s accepting a BET award, but other than that I don’t’ see her embracing any other women. I feel it’s time for female MCs to really start sticking together and start putting out some music.”
That racist b#### Paula Deen has been sliced from the Food Network.
Before their breakup, Chris Brown and Rihanna recorded a song. Well, Chris is about to release a new project and demanded that the song be taken off or he wouldn’t release it at all. The complied even though they wanted it on the album. Guess the game has ended.
Did you this where Drake proclaimed he was the “media” when he was denied locker room access to be with the Heat as they won the finals? The blogs were cruel on this one.
Flavor Flav’s chicken spot was officially evicted out of its Sterling Heights, MI location. He never paid the rent once. Well, he’s at least still on tour with the Kings of the Mic, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, De La Soul and Ice Cube.
AHHH…more stuff in a few.
By the way, they issued a warrant out for the arrest of a 36-year-old man that allegedly killed Lil Snupe. Wow. Over a video game. I thought dying over a hoe was bad. This is insanity. READ ABOUT THAT HERE.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
(AllHipHop News) TheWinnfield Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for Tony Holden, 36, in the shooting death of Lil Snupe (Addarren Ross). Snupe was killed in Louisiana Thursday morning from two gunshots to the chest. According to police the Meek Mill protegé was murdered after an argument over a video game.
“Holden has not been found at this time and is considered armed and dangerous,” said Lt. Charles Curry.
Authorities are asking for help in finding the whereabouts of Holden.
(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z’s Samsung deal had tongues wagging in anticipation for his new studio album “Magna Carta Holy Grail.” 1 million Samsung users could download the album for free days before it’s July 4th release.
Now, the music magazine Billboard, which is the industry standard for charts and sales, is saying “nice try.” None of the 1 millions downloads will be counted towards his total sales.
The magazine’s editorial director, Bill Werde, said Billboard rejected Jay Z’s request that the Samsung promotional sales be counted toward the Billboard 200 chart because “in the context of this promotion, nothing is actually for sale.”
“The ever-visionary Jay Z pulled the nifty coup of getting paid as if he had a platinum album before one fan bought a single copy,” Werde said.
Werde said Jay Z should earn his 13th No. 1 album anyway, as “Magna Carta Holy Grail” is forecast to sell between 400,000 and 450,000 units in its first week. [source]
The title as “Black Hollywood” was not easily won for Atlanta. Great music has been coming out of this city for about 20 years, and little black boys and little black girls still flock to the red hills of Georgia to pursue their hip-hop dreams. But, Atlanta sometimes gets a bad reputation for ratchetness and the dumbing down of hip-hop music.
But, there actually is no one true Atlanta sound. The city is full of transplants who brought their own flavor, accents, and music tastes to the city where their families set down roots: Ludacris and Waka Flocka Flame are great examples, both moved to Atlanta at a young age bringing with them Chicago and Southside Jamaica Queens flavor-respectively. Then, there are the homegrowns like T.I. and 2 Chainz “Grady Babies,” who never have and probably never would live anywhere other than the Peach State. Combined with new residents, Atlanta is a true melting pot.
That amalgamation may be one of the inspirations for Ric Atari’s production on the Wyclef mixtape, April Showers, handling a large part of the production and some writing on the mixtape, and the forthcoming Wyclef album, The Carnival Begins. The Atlanta-native is not just a producer, but a rapper, who was featured solo on April Showers on the track, “All Day, All Night.”
Rapper and celebrated producer who also made music for Usher, Snoop Dogg, and Waka Flocka Flame, Ric Atari is preparing to return with his second solo project, Kill Focus, and music from his hot indie label, Blacktree.
AllHipHop.com: How did you and Wyclef connect?
Ric Atari: My man, (Atlanta Radio Personality) Osei the Dark Secret introduced me to ‘Clef like two days after Thanksgiving, and the cool thing was before we played any music we just like chilled out, talked for two hours and just got to know each other . We’re like minded, he asked me would I come to New York and you know help him create his next album and you know ‘Clef, there’s nothing he can’t do, so that was an honor. We were working everyday, except ‘Clef, he doesn’t work on Sundays. I still worked on Sundays. (Laughter)
AllHipHop.com: What was the recording process like?
Ric Atari: It was an everyday thing, you know. It was great. Me ‘Clef and his brother, Sedeck, we produced most of the records together. No matter who would start them, we would pass it around and everybody would add this or that to the different songs, we did a lot of records that way. The cool thing about it was you know, is it was very interesting to be in the studio with him because its Wyclef. I produced a lot of big records, you know what I mean, but it’s a little different, Clef is like an icon he did biggest selling record of the 21st century.
AllHipHop.com: What was behind the concept for April Showers?
Ric Atari: The dope thing about ‘Clef, you know, is he writes everything. But, he let me write a lot of these records with him, like line-for-line on “Hip Hop,” we wrote that line-for-line just sitting here like you and me are. It’s a cool and almost the weird thing when ‘Clef lays a part and turns to you like – what you think? It was a real cool experience, we probably did like 20 records, a lot of them will be for his album and them some will be for his mix tape to build a buzz. We started a new sound along the way, with “Trap and Roll,” (featuring Waka Flocka Flame and Angelica Salem) so everybody’s looking forward to that on his album. There’s a version of Trap and Roll that’s on his mix tape but the real version; the original version is on his album and I’m actually featured on that album to so it’s a lot of love. I think I added something to what was already there, I think together, it’s like a rocket ship sound.
AllHipHop.com: Atlanta sometimes gets a bad rap when it comes to snap music, trap music; sometimes we are perceived as “lesser than lyricists,” like Waka and even Trinidad? Do you think there is going to be a shift in that perception for Atlanta as a whole?
Ric Atari: Ok, take Waka for instance, everybody has that perception of Waka, but he is pretty smart. When Wyclef asked me about doing some work with different artists in the “Waka range” those young artists, I suggest him because I know he’s smart. He took the crack in the door that was open, standing next to who he was standing next to (Gucci) and he felt like he could do that kind of music, because it was a part of him too. I think that right now, he is thinking about what he can do that’s on a bigger scale. His new music is expanded and evolved. That’s what artists should do. That’s what these young rappers should be allowed to do. I think in Atlanta, there has to be that balance, there has to be a Fabo (D4L)and there has to be a 3-stacks. That balance has to happen because Atlanta (music) was in a strong danger of killing itself making the same song over and over.
AllHipHop.com: So, what’s next for you, Ric?
Ric Atari: Blacktree Music, you know, our label. We do everything from hip-hop to R&B. We have a group, The 808’s Way, a crazy hip-hop collective. There’s six solo rappers in the group, and each of them is a beast. I also signed a girls group, Mad Pretty Crew, which is gonna be like the next TLC. We do a lot one the R&B Soul side, where a lot of our artists have hit really well overseas. We’re talking to a couple labels right now deciding on our major label home. It’s gonna be a busy summer.
(AllHipHop News) A 22-year old Florida man was arrested for allegedly hitting his disabled father in the head several times for trying to tell him how to make Kool-Aid.
Brandon Antron Crosley, 22, was arrested Wednesday in his Cocoa, FL apartment complex where he lives with his father.
According to the police report Greg Crosley, 48, said his son “was making Kool-Aid and was doing it wrong,” so he “attempted to give Brandon advice on how to properly prepare the drink.”
Not interested in hearing his father’s advice, Brandon punched him several times in the head and ran off before the police could arrive.
Soon after, the son was caught red handed in a nearby apartment.
(AllHipHop News) After appearing together at a New York City tour stop this week, Young Money’s Drake and Roc Nation’s J. Cole join forces to take shots at their doubters in the new track “Jodeci Freestyle.” The duo pays homage to the 1990’s R&B group while also making very recent references like Drake’s appearance on the GQ magazine cover and the sales predictions for J. Cole’s sophomore album Born Sinner.
