Hip-Hop Rumors: Ivy Leaguers Mad At Jeezy & Pusha T! LA Reid Fired From Def Jam?
DISCLAIMER:All

I am on Twitter and I am seeing a bunch of people complaining about being hacked, mostly celebs. Im on my phone, where I think it is save to be on there. I did a bit of research and here is what the mashable.com is reporting:
A new Twitter security flaw has been widely exploited on thousands of Twitter accounts, redirecting users to third-party websites without their consent.
The bug is particularly nasty because it works on mouseover only, meaning pop-ups and third-party websites can open even if you just move your mouse over the offending link.
The flaw uses a JavaScript function called onMouseOver which creates an event when the mouse is passed over a chunk of text. Weve seen the flaw being abused to launch simple pop-up windows, redirect users elsewhere (including p### sites), and weve also seen it used in combination with blocks of color, covering the true intention of the tweet.
For now, the best course of action is using only third-party apps such as TweetDeck to access Twitter, as the bug only seems to affect Twitters web interface. Also, if your Twitter account contains a message abusing the flaw, you can delete it using a third-party app.
As for the rumors kinda dead right now. I am going to add what I have an get back to you later in the day. L.A. REID FIRED FROM DEF JAM?Swiped from theYBF.com! Looks like that multi-million dollar deal L.A. Reid cut with rapper Shyne
pushed the Def Jam board over the edge. We hear he just got his pink
slip yesterday. News on Mr. Reid getting AXED when you read on…
It’s been talked about for over a year now. After Kevin Liles was “let go” last year from Def Jam, rumor had it that Chairman and CEO of Island Def Jam Music Group L.A. Reid would be next.
Our source inside the Def Jam offices tells us that Mr. Reid, who was responsible for signing Mariah Carey, Pink, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Toni Braxton, TLC, Usher, Ciara, and OutKast, copped his walking papers yesterday afternoon.
“Def Jam fired L.A. Reid,” the source tells us. “He got the boot from the Board of Execs yesterday.”
Of course, the Def Jam folks are planning to keep the announcement
very P.C. They will likely put out a statement saying things were
cordial and/or mutual. But that’s def not the case, according to our
source. Def Jam indeed did not renew his contract.For more, got to theYBF.com.
YALE NOT HAPPY WITH JEEZY AND PUSHA??
The proverbial s**t has hit the fan for Young Jeezy and Pusha T, who is newly signed to Kanye West. Not sure if you heard the song Illin, but there is a line in there that the Ivy League Community is upset about. Pusha T raps: No amount of record sales could derail this. Stuffing dead prezzies in the wall like that Yale b***h. What does that mean? Last year a 24-year-old female student was murdered at Yale University and her name was Annie Le. She was found dead on what was to be her wedding day. And she was found in the walls of a university building. The story and controversy are spreading like wildfire, because they feel that rap is ignorant and insensitive to the womans death.
Here it is what do you think?
Jeezy is catching a lot of the flack and he didnt even say the rap. One person said: Annie was an amazing girl. She had more class then Jay Jenkins (Young Jeezy) ever will. She didn’t deserve what happened to her and this lame attempt at edgy rhymes is over the line. Our world is much worse for our loss of Annie’s talents and humanity. Making light of her terrible murder doesn’t make Jenkins “street” or “real” it just makes him an ignorant ______.

ILLSEEDS QUICKIES
It looks like OJ Simpson has hit rock bottom. Pause. But, word to everything, they are saying that he has a crew of gay prisoners that cater to his every whim. They are called The Girls.
J-Los ex Ojani Noa is starving for attention. He supposedly will endure the long American Idol lines to audition in front of his ex-wife. What a bum.
Drake really does have a crush on Nicki Minaj. He wrote the song Im Ready for her.
Amy Winehouse has fallen out with former producer Mark Ronson, because he took too much credit for songs she created. She said he is dead to me on twitter. Salaam Remi of Nas fame is still on board.
Shout out to Octomom! Shes been offered $500,000 (thts half a milli) to do a p#### for Vivid Video. Shes refusing to take any clothing off. Shes about to lose her home that holds her 14 kids. EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY
Is she for real? Sadly, I think she is!
SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!
I dont know if you remember this wack job. His name was Richard “Syko Sam” McCroskey and he was a wack rapper. He did a really sick kind of HorroCore rap. That he eventually acted out when he killed four people, including his girlfriend and her minister daddy. When keeping is really goes horribly wrong. Sam was found guilty on all accounts and will spend the rest of his young life in jail. Dude is from the same neck of the woods as Lady of Rage.
Dude rapped about this stuff and he was wack. SHOUT OUT TO NORE!
Remember Nore did a live stream on AHH? Here is the video that he was shooting that day.
SHOUT OUT TO JOE BUDDEN
Looking like a classic to me.
HI CIARA!
Maybe I have been in a Kelly Rowland-induced fog too long. Ciara, hello!

TAHIRY & CIARA, WE LOVE YOU! They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

Wale Elaborates On Kid Cudi In Complex Magazine
(AllHipHop News) Washington, D.C. rapper Wale has responded to comments Kid Cudi made about him in the latest issue of Complex magazine. During the interview with Complex, Kid Cudi took offense to a line from Wale on the “Thank You Freestyle” in which Wale rapped: “Throwing ’round wallets like the dude that Kid Cudi hit ””Its just a simple-ass rhyme by a simple-ass rapper. You cant let that s### faze you,” Kid Cudi originally told Complex. Thats one of those raps that just shows the world that you wack. Why would you even use that as a metaphor? Everybody think they Hov. Ni**as aint got the magic like they think they do.”Wale responded once, early last via week Twitter: “Ni**as lettin’ that liquid cocaine get to them. Let’s go then.”On Friday (September 17th), Wale appeared on DJ Drama’s show on Sirius Satellite Radio and elaborated on his feelings towards Kid Cudi. “It’s just rap music. there was not no malice out of it. it is what it is, it was a line. We make lines. 9 out of 10 rappers wouldn’t take it as a diss. As I am growing as a man and an artist, you see what you gotta do and how you gotta carry yourself and why you keep your circle small.”Wale also addressed Kid Cudi’s comments that the root of their issues could have stemmed from the fact that Kanye West allegedly didn’t give him any beats because they didn’t like Wale musically. Ye/s a good dude but I don’t recall making too much of an effort to work with anybody. I’m signed to roc nation, there’s great producers It aint really all that deep. this aint 2001, where a producer is end all be all.”Wale was recently in the studio with Yo Gotti and plans on working with Waka Flocka Flame and others.
The End Of Greedy Managers and Dumb Artists (Hopefully)
As I continue to prepare my full return to the industry with my forthcoming Hip-Hoppreneur advisory service Ive been having some interesting conversations and negotiations with artists, producers, managers, entertainment lawyers, publicists, and executives.
The more I build and do business with these individuals, the clearer it becomes that there may be no relationship being exposed as increasingly irrelevant and inefficient then that which currently exists between the personal manager and artist.
A good way to look at it is from the extreme caricatures of each position the dumb artist and the greedy manager. Starting from there, I give advice to both sides, if they hope to thrive in the new era we have entered.
Why Artists Are Dumb. As regular readers of AllHipHop.com already know, the second lesson I was taught about management is that , Artises is dumb. That is exactlyhttps://allhiphop.com/stories/editorial/archive/2009/12/08/22049697.aspx) Now, personally I really dont think artists are genetically inferior persons or mentally slower by nature. Most of them are actually brilliant and highly intelligent. However they become dumb in two ways: 1) an unwillingness to educate themselves on the business side of the industry and 2) the lowering of their overall IQ by the lack of emotional intelligence, aka the inability to think rationally about their creativity. On the first problem it is only a manner of reading. If the artist isnt illiterate there is no excuse. All they have to do is visit the ASCAP website and read the section Music and Money (http://www.ascap.com/musicbiz/#mm) and discuss it with a local accountant or lawyer. Or simply call upon Wendy Day (http://www.wendyday.com/), the greatest artist advocate-educator in the history of rap. She freely publishes state-of-the art and constantly relevant information that can make the most ignorant artist capable of breaking down the most successful business managers and entertainment lawyers. On the second matter, the problem is more severe. It revolves around psychic income and the fact that sometimes we enjoy appreciation, applause, praise, and non-monetary forms of reward more than money. The preference for psychic income over money always causes an artist to place creative thinking over critical thinking, which makes accepting criticism and new ideas difficult. Artists with low emotional intelligence are always close-minded. how it was stated to me by a mogul who took me under his wing early on. You can learn more about how that knowledge was shared with me by reading my 360 Deals and Dumb Artists. (
Why Managers Are Greedy. Managers are greedy for two reasons: 1) the music industry accounting system and 2) because artists are dumb. For a few months Ive been getting deep into the history of music industry economics which really do resemble sharecropping arrangements. And there is a straight line between 19th century slavery and the establishment of the accounting system that record labels and publishing houses adapted. More on that in a future piece. But a simple fact must be accepted the financial practices and payment system of the music business was developed by the non-artist and the payment splits naturally reflect that. Managers who bring expertise, business etiquette and a network were always closer to the accountants and lawyers who sealed the deal. On the second point because the tedious details of business administration can kill their creative energy, many artists delegate too much of it to others, wanting to get away from anything that takes away from or kills their artistic, high. An emotionally immature and financially illiterate artist is no match for the 4 Horsemen of the industrys traditional team infrastructure: The Road Manager, The Personal Manager, The Entertainment Lawyer and The Business Manager. The dumb artist gets betrayed and stomped out worse than Dusty Rhodes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Bv3ZjgvpE&feature=related).
Talent Without Patience, Vision and Strategy Equals Short-Lived Success. This is for artists. As hard as it may be for you to accept talent is not enough to make you a commercial success. That is not just because certain power centers radio stations, channels, and entertainment outlets are controlled by certain forces or because music business decision-makers are not always good at identifying and grooming talent. It is also because branding and marketing skill are as important or more than how well you rhyme. An artist that continues to think they should be on simply because they are hot is delusional and liable to go insane with frustration. Every artist needs people around them who can guide them according to a vision and business strategy. But perhaps more importantly there is a level of patience that is needed that yes, again, I must say the emotionally immature artist tends to not have. It takes time to get meetings, for people to be persuaded, for promotions to take root.
Do You Value Connections More Than Guidance? One of the reasons the traditional personal manager-talent relationship is increasingly irrelevant and inefficient, even unnecessarily expensive for an artist, is because what artists usually retain a manager for, is something they can do on their own if they understood how to network. The vast majority of unsigned or unwilling artists (I call them unwilling because they are unwilling to out themselves out independently with marketing savvy) I know have a manager because they simply want to get in front of someone else whom they feel has the power to put them on. This is such a mistake. Giving 20% of your income (even 50% when the old model production deal comes into play) to someone simply to introduce you to someone else that you can probably meet on your own is, well, dumb.
Artists need to follow the example of Wall Street and movie finance where finders fees and producers credits and points are given in exchange to someone who makes introductions and arranges a deal. What artists really need today is guidance and confidence in their own ability to build a team that can execute a strategic gameplan. Too many artists are just mentally lazy and are too insecure making decisions according to the latest fad or trend – and sell ownership of their career and future revenue to the latest person who is connected to the flavor of the month producer, label, artist, or clique. But what happens when the hot new connect loses his job or when she no longer can get her phone calls returned? Youve married someone looking from outside of the house, looking into it, just like you. An artist needs someone to teach them how to keep their image-brand-reputation in alignment and keep track of business models and contracts. With the mp3, HD Internet, Facebook, Twitter, websites, email, social events and conferences no artist needs to give excessive ownership of their career to someone who knows people. After the connection is made, what else do you have left to offer the rest of your team or new people you need to bring into your circle to advance you in new ways?
Can They Go Places You Cant? Having said that, the first lesson I was taught by my business mentor when I got into personal management was that your artist clients want to know that you can go places they cant. This principle is sound, yet I see artist after artist surround themselves with their boys and crew an entourage of unqualified persons who may be personally loyal to them (well see how long that lasts) and who might be able to beat somebody up, but who are business and professional liabilities. They drive more opportunities away from you then they bring, with their bad advice, lack of professional etiquette, and sometimes envyious and hidden resistance to the artists growth (after all, if you grow you may leave me behind). Im not a mind-reader but I am pretty good at telling when an artist is being influenced by sycophants (ass-kissers) and friends who have attached themselves to them in the hopes that they too will be put on. What makes me attractive or at least interesting to artists and clients is that when I left the music business I went places that most artist cant or dont in the world of politics, economics, and international affairs. That means Im different and can possibly add something to their career that bring something to their creativity and professional development. As much as people front, unalike attracts and like repels in certain ways. Agreement is the basis of love and people dont marry on the basis of hate and disagreement, but differences are complimentary and we all need parts to make up a whole. No artist needs a manager who cant think out of the box, cant go places they cant or who thinks their rolodex matters more than a vision, strategy, and wisdom executed and applied in pursuit of the best interests of their clients.
Be Selective. This is for the managers. Simply because a person is talented and you have connections and can offer guidance doesnt mean they would make a good client for you, or that you are the best person for them. In taking on clients to advise (not manage!) I am being extremely careful to not get involved with great talents who are going to be high-maintenance, needy, and lazy mentally. When people ask me what personal management is, at its worse I say baby-sitter and hostage negotiator. If you are a sensitive person and pay attention to details, you are a mark for the worst kind of artist client the dude or lady who plays off of compassionate people and slowly but surely makes you more their best friend, Mom, Dad, or legal guardian (without the paperwork) than professional confidante and guide. There is no 20% that is worth the headache of an artist who not only is a knuckle-head, but one who also drains you emotionally and spiritually, and worst of all, puts your own personal safety, and that of your loved ones in jeopardy with their mistakes and errors. I always have felt that the worst thing a person could do is take advantage of the vulnerability that kindness and duty can create. Too many artists are manipulative in this way, and I often find it is the emotionally weak manager, addicted to the psychic income (celebrity, fame, praise, status) that comes from being associated with talent or a high-profile personality who is also dumb. Perhaps it is helpful for managers to think of great talents who are manipulative and high maintenance in terms of an extremely physically attractive person with low morals and low intelligence. You can help them and occasionally collaborate but do you really need to marry them?
We are social beings and relationships are necessary to enjoying life and succeeding in business, but when one side is greedy and the other side is dumb it is a recipe for disaster. Managers and artists do still need each other, but a lot more growth is required from both, if things are to work and money is to be made.

Well, DAMN. I’ve said it a million times…I’m not a dude that claims to have ever sold drugs, hustled the streets or even shot a gun. That’s not my steez. But, if I did live that life, I would abide by the laws of the group. One of those laws is no snitching. Now, no snitching means you don’t rat out somebody to save you own skin.
Rewind to the 90s for a sec. There was a crew in Philly called the RAM SQUAD and they had it on smash back in the day…sorta. They also had the streets buzzing pretty crazy to for their connections to real Philly mobsters. They were most notably affiliated to Skinny Joey Merlino, who was a MAJOR FIGURE IN THE GAME. Well, in 2003, Ram Squad member Tommy Hill got popped and arrested by the coppers. After that there were a lot of talk about Tommy. People were saying he was a snitch. But, peep this! A former Ram Squad member BOY BACK admits to snitching and even setting up his friend Tommy Hill. Now you have to see the video to fully GRASP the severity of this street infraction!
Amazing!
This isn’t some “no snitching” mess! Dude snitched on his friend based on a baseless hunch! DaAAAAAAAAAMN, homey!BOY BACKS, WE LOVE YOU – EVEN THOUGH YA SNITCHED! They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

CHINGY & THE TRANNY
I know it has been this frenzy about Chingy and some Tranny and other hip hop artist but it just may be safe to say lets not pay attention to the b#######.
