Gucci and Jeezy. What a long, long history Jeezy and Gucci have. I mean, this is when there was real beef on the streets and people were actually KILLED. Its like now people don’t really care anymore. They basically want to get it poppin’ all over again. Hopefully nothing happens.
I’m sure many of you saw this video already, but here it is.
Gucci Mane – “Truth” aka “Jeezy Diss”
And again, here is Jeezy talking about Gucci and even calls him “retarded”:
Oh yeah…Gucci still has that Ice Cream on his face.
(AllHipHop News) Miami rapper Rick Ross continues his expansion as a restaurateur, with the purchase of another, new Wingstop location in East Memphis, Tennessee.
The Maybach Music Group CEO opened a new Wingstop location in East Memphis today (October 13) at 4697 Poplar Ave.
The Wingstop in East Memphis is Rick Ross’ second in the state. His very first location opened last year in Memphis, at 7706 Winchester Road.
The addition of the East Memphis Wingstop location comes on the heels of Rick Ross taking over a Wingstop in Miami, earlier this week.
Today (October 13), Rick Ross will be hosting a special meet and greet that will be open to the public, from 3:00 PM-6:00 PM.
(AllHipHop News) Footage of a violent altercation that landed Miami rapper Gunplay behind bars has hit the Internet.
Surveillance footage of the April robbery was released by local news outlets earlier today (October 13).
The footage shows Gunplay, born Richard Morales Jr. and an accomplice named Randy Jones, striking and assaulting a man sitting behind a desk at a tax office in Miami.
Gunplay turned himself in over an outstanding arrest warrant for armed robbery and a second charge of aggravated assault with a firearm over the incident.
He is being held without bail, and faces life in prison.
Xzibit became one of the more recognizable names associated with the rise of Aftermath Records due to his stellar feature verses and his solidly composed albums, including my personal favorite, Restless. How we got from that point to now, however, is somewhat difficult to navigate. We know that somewhere after his follow-up album, Man Vs Machine, and before Weapons of Mass Destruction, the union between Xzibit and Dr. Dre was unfortunately severed. We also know that Xzibit went on to become a nationally recognized celebrity due to his movie cameos, which stemmed from his success on MTV’s “Pimp My Ride.” We also know that X has been in and out of the news for a few things, from tax issues to suspended driver’s licenses.
Regardless of the over-inflated drama, on the music front it’s been almost six years to the day since his last solo release (Full Circle: released October 17th, 2006). That’s not evident when you press play on Napalm, as it’s evident that Xzibit hasn’t lost a step. Some people are just born to do music, and Xzibit may be one of those people; combining his ear for production with his lyrical ability and some well-timed features, Napalm is yet another dope drop that proves yet again that X is indeed one of the best from the West to do it.
With an album being in development and delayed as long as this one seemed to be, you would think some of the music would be dated. Aside from the title track, “Napalm” (which was spotted earlier on Travis Barker’s Let The Drummer Get Wicked mixtape), it sounds like vintage X all over again. His aggressive flow easily powers through the already-dominant, West Coast influenced production, and he even tailors his flow to glide over the mellow tracks in the play-through, such as “Forever A G”, which features Wiz Khalifa.
The surprising aspect of the album comes in with the perfectly-timed placement of powerful tracks. “1983” is by far one of the highlights of the entire project. Featuring the monologue of his mother, Trena Joiner, Xzibit speaks candidly about his feelings concerning his family, “Pimp My Ride”, his falling out with Paul Rosenberg of Aftermath, his presumed perception through the eyes of Eminem, and more. Xzibit drops another powerful song later in the tracklisting with “Meaning Of Life”, as he recruits Retired Staff Sergeant Shilo Harris to tell his story about being a victim of a roadside bomb (roughly estimated to be close to 800 pounds of explosives) and pushing through it. Using his words as the backdrop, Xzibit goes on a rampage, addressing everything from abusive fathers to the ideals of conformity (and much more).
That’s not to say there aren’t other highlights, because that would be misleading. Napalm is packed with good music, from the feel good track “Enjoy The Night” (featuring Wiz Khalifa, David Banner, and Brevi), to the Konvict Muzik-produced posse track with Game, Slim The Mobster, and Crooked I that has Xzibit rhyming in feature film titles (“Movies”), to the disturbingly chilling “Killer’s Remorse” with Bishop Lamont, B-Real, and Demrick, there’s almost too much to talk about in detail.
The bottom line is that Xzibit’s had time to sit on this project and refine it, and it’s come out as incredible as the tracklisting reads. Napalm is a dope album, and even though it is at times a little too feature-heavy and includes a couple of filler tracks (“Dos Equis” and “Something More” come to mind, with the latter due to an uninspired verse from Prodigy), it contains some singles that’s sure to remind people why Xzibit was an Aftermath flagpole in the first place. There’s indeed some incredible music out right now, but you’d be robbing yourself of quality if you overlooked this one.
L.A. MC Murs and producer 9th Wonder will be going their separate ways musically soon, but not before releasing The Final Adventure. The pair’s fifth LP hits stores November 13 and will bring an end to a critically-acclaimed series of collabos which included underground favorites MURS 3:16: The 9th Edition and Murray’s Revenge.
9th Wonder recently took to Twitter to proclaim that two are still close friends, noting that both wish to seek other endeavors, including more collaborations with other artists.
“We have things to do… we have bigger dreams than our albums…and we are best friends and brothers…that means much more,” 9th Wonder tweeted.
Known for his tireless work ethic, Jamla Records’ founding producer 9th Wonder, will also be releasing his third collabo, The Solution, with Duck Down Records MC Buckshot on the same day as his Final Adventure with Murs. On September 25, Murs released his collaboration with fellow Cali wordsmith, Fashawn, entitled This Generation.
Check out the tracklist for Murs and 9th Wonder ‘s The Final Adventure below:
1. Get Together feat. Rapsody 2. Dance With Me 3. Whatuptho 4. Holding Hands 5. Walk Like A Woman 6. Tale of Two Cities 7. Funeral For A Killer 8. Better Way 9. Wherever You Are 10. It’s Over 11. Wait For Someone (iTunes Bonus) 12. Tale of Two Cities – Remix (iTunes Bonus)
According to Star Magazine, Rihanna is all set for Chris Breezy to pop the question. She’s waiting for the boy to ask her to marry him!
”Rihanna has told her close friends point blank — I would marry Chris.”
”She even says she would have never left him if the media scrutiny didn’t get so bad. They’re passionate, and when they’re drunk, they’ve both made many comments about getting married.”
This this crazy but not really crazy. If you are in love with somebody, its safe to say that you can get over just about everything. It just gets tricky with the media and the outsiders that get into a relationship and kill it. I was all types of outraged when Breezy was beating and biting on RiRi. But man, they gotta be happy so it is what it is.
EPIC WIN OR EPIC FAIL?
No charges have been pressed or charged on homey, but he was suspended from the job. What do you think she should have happened to the dude that straight Superman upper cut this chick?
By the way, she’s 25 years old…not a teen as has been reported.
Word on the block is that internet radio app, Pandora, is paying artists a boatload of money to be able to use their songs. According to a statement released by Pandora founder Tim Westergren, Pandora pays more than 2,000 artists over $10,000 each for using their music.
So, who gets the most cash? That would be Drake and Lil’ Wayne. Both artists earn $3 million a year just for licensing their music to Pandora! That $3 million guaranteed for not doing anything at all. ColdPlay is the only other group of artists that also earns that much cash from the radio station.
Wiz Khalifa is cashing in those checks, too, and also makes a cool $1 million from the site. Must be nice!
