Man Man Man... I love the way rap is going man.. The first track is Young Chris off his new mixtape with Don Cannon. Download Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?4nxidlz2jhe
Then we got Jay Electronica with the Ghost of "Christopher Wallace" with Diddy talking ish on the track...sweet!
Here is a video of Jay Electronica doing a Nas Tribute..... I actually got the opportunity to meet Jay Electronica when he performed in New Orleans. I must say that he is the existential Hip Hop rapper.. He is the epitome of the rapper's favorite rapper thats out. This dude brings me back to my fav era of hip hop but it's 2010 and it feels f*cking awesome. Remember, rappers are supoosed to pay homage.. Trey songz should take notes and stop dissing Kellz. Plus as you can see he gains that crowd participation.. F looking cute at the bar.. He rocked the howling wolf in new orleans just like this crowd on screen.
Something I must admit. Even thogh Noby makes us shake our asses, Noby continues to give us songs that we all can relate to when it comes, to love and relationships and friends.. I'm a fan, always have been and always will be.
The letter that Solar(Guru's "Best friend" and the guy with the power of attorney) claims taht Guru wrote stated some nasty things that suposedly Guru said on his death bed. Key Points being: 1. That Guru wants to eradicate all ties with DJ Premmier.I quote do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. As the sole founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now.
Hardly imaginable that GURU would say that. The obscurities and ambiguity that surrounds the letter is quite unsettling to the average Gangastar fan. So the frustration must affect the family in a way that we will probably never understand. And Premier.. I wonder how he feels.. However the family states that Guru had been in a coma.. How could he have wrote such strong words if he had been in a coma.. I already said yesterday that I don't trust Solar... However the family responded with this.
The Elam family wishes to thank the fans of our son/brother/father uncle/nephew/cousin Keith aka GURU for the outpouring of love, concern and support.
Our hearts are broken by the loss of someone we loved so much. GURU was devoted to his young son, who will most keenly feel his absence.
GURU suffered from multiple myeloma* for over a year. Accrued complications from this illness led to respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. As a result, GURU was in a coma from mid February until his death and never regained consciousness. Early on the morning of April 19th, he became hypertensive due to low blood pressure. He again went into cardiac arrest and slipped away from us.
GURU died far too young but he was, and we are, proud of all his many legendary musical contributions.
The family is not aware of any foundations established by GURU.* We know and understand that countless fans want to express their condolences and love and, to that end, we are planning a memorial event in the near future that will be all-inclusive. Please look for further details from the family as they become available.
from The Elam Family
I see that the family brought up the fact that GURU's son will mourn him. Something that the SOLAR LETTER negated while putting Solar on a damn pedestool.. Well guess what? I smell Stool... We at the tea keep the ELAM FAMILY in our prayers, especially for his son... And we holding you up Premier.....
MISS INFO HAD A CONVO WITH THE FORMER DIP SET MEMBERS JIM JONES AND CAM'RON!!!! Ok I'm not gonna get excited son... I'm chillin Son
JIM JONES: “It’s 2010, and this is something I gotta get off my chest…You’ve known us from back when we didn’t have what we have now, so you remember, that above all, me and Cam, we still brothers. And we’re building on getting back on track but first, I apologize for being a rude brother, for saying things publicly without first trying to handle them privately. I apologize for not leading by example because what I didn’t realize at the time, I was venting but it wasn’t all about me. There were other people whose dreams were also part of this movement. So by not leading by example, they were left stranded too. The way I handled our business issues was with emotion, and it got totally f–ked up. That’s what selfishness does….”Jim Jones (cont.): “…I have demons that I’m learning to deal with. We’re all successful, me and Cam and Juelz, so we’re blessed. But that comes with responsibilities. I had complaints and I’m not backing away from the issues I had, but I’m just mad at how I handled them. The business of the Diplomats could have been fixed before. But by putting my emotions out in the public, it only made things worse. And of course, some of us became bitter about it. We had this luxurious life, but the rest of the family, they had slow down because of the ball I started rolling. I’d be pissed at me too… But God works in mysterious ways…a couple people took vacations, and there’s a lane that’s wide open. What we built solo since Dipset grew apart, we can combine and make even stronger together. I needed to clear my conscious before we work on building a bigger and better movement. Plus, consider it fair warning to everyone else.”
CAMRON: "There’s nothing really Diplomats-related to show you yet. We all have our own obligations right now, our own projects. I have this Boss of All Bosses Pt. 2.5 mixtape with Vado and DJ Drama dropping soon. But yes, me and Jim have been speaking, we’re working out the mechanics of this, and looking at our options right now. If it makes sense, it can happen.” Thanks www.missinfo.tv
Guru, one-half of influential hip-hop duo Gang Starr, died Tuesday morning at age 43 of cancer-related causes.
The rapper, whose real name was Keith Elam, suffered a heart attack in March and had been in a coma (though he had since woken up). He was 43 years old.
"The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time -- my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru," said longtime collaborator and friend Solar in a statement.
"This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it, but tragically, this did not happen. The cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius."
Houston-born DJ Premier was the second-half of Gang Starr alongside Guru, though the pair's relationship soured over the last several years.
Guru left a letter for fans that said he had "exhausted all medical options." He urged them to support Each One Counts, a nonprofit for chronically and terminally ill children.
The statement, provided by Solar, also indicates that Guru does not want Premier "to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death."
"This letter is way outta hand Solar," Premier writes on his blog.
Gang Starr first came to national attention with 1989's No More Mr. Nice Guy, but it was 1991's Step In The Arena that made the duo hip-hop heavyweights. They were among the first to blend jazz and hip-hop. (1998 album Moment of Truth was their best-selling album and certified gold for sales of 500,000 units.)
Here is one of my favorite Joints... RIP Guru and RIP Big L too... (took that hard too)
Does anyone find it strange that Dj Drama isn't doing the Young Jeezy Trap Or Die 2? I know the cats squashed the beef... ... I'm saying not even DJ Infamous.. but the (Ex Apphiliate) Dj Don Cannon??.... Hmmnnn.... What's that about?... I like Cannon though... Cannon cannon cannon (eagerly awaiting the drop!!!
Ok this was the second single years back, esquire and I loved it...Frankly, it's the story of my life......... Here is the New Video... We all need sponsors........(that stay in their place)of course!
(allhiphopnews) Monday April 5th, Judge Jacqueline Nguyen dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice, after an eight-year wrongful death lawsuit in federal court.
Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was gunned down in March of 1997, after attending an after party during the Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles.
Although it has never been proven, the wrongful death lawsuit claimed that Marion “Suge” Knight conspired with Amir Muhammad, the alleged triggerman and LAPD officers Rafael Perez and David Mack, to murder Notorious B.I.G.
B.I.G. had been feuding with Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down on the Las Vegas strip six months earlier, in September of 1996.
In March of 2006, U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ruled in favor of B.I.G., awarding the family a $1.1 million dollar judgment against the city.
In May of 2006, Judge Cooper dismissed the previous ruling in the case, after discovering the family had information they told the court they did not have access to.
In June of 2006, the city of Los Angeles claimed B.I.G.‘s attorneys went to “absurd lengths” to "satisfy their ambition to extract hundreds of millions of dollars from the city.”
Not to get on my high horse..... But if Plies did indeed graduate Val from highschool and then went to college to become a nurse...What is not "gangster" about that????.. A man that uses his mind to free himself is way more gangster than the dude that wants to sell crack.....but I guess this generation thinks ignorance is cool... and I'm a hater...yep because if I was Val in highschool I would be repped out... To bad I graduated from highschool #223 out of a class of 367....
This dude always drops the knowledge. He is one of the guys that you see back in the day and he is that steady rock when it comes to the beats, ethics, and hip hop honesty while still adapting to the current climate. I think the thing I respect about Premo is the fact that he never seems afraid to tell the truth even if it isn't pretty.. He stays true to himself. All the way down to the performances. i was in ATL at D'Jangos waiting for him to perform.....he gets on the mic and says hold up...."Let me unhook all this sh*t." He was talking about Serato....LMAO... He gets his albums out turntables side by side and spins all the hits he has ever produced... Day, Pamela and I rocked and rapped all night.. That is one of the best nights of my life until this day.
Gees Louise... The visiual imagery is sick... I have always like the fact that Drake never does the average video.... Kudos to the director Anthony Mandler.
Shouts out to Esquire from Exclusive who was on Janelle Monae when we were living in Atlanta and tipping the waitress $20 because she might be a college student at Spellman.....(yeah right Atlanta makes you do that)... However, she is signed to Bad Boy and seems like the only artist Puffy (he will always be Puffy to me) isn't tryimg to get shine on. Anywho, she is tearing it down last night at the HighLine Ballroom and she also has the ability to have a die hard following!! She gives me everything!!! Please!\ Shouts out to missinfo.tv
So Kiely Williams a former member of 3LW and a former Cheetah girl has this new video and song about being so drunk that she blacks out and have unprotected sex… She had this to say in her defense…
"The Young Money Room-mates have been trying so hard to shut me down, I got them bunk bed niggas shook. They’ve gone as far as to hacking & suspending both of my Twitter accounts, calling Child Services on me & exposing my Criminal Records all over the Internet. They have been loosing fans so recently the other day they made a New Fan Page, ’cause now they suddenly appreciate their fans …. BULLSHIT ! Anyways Young Money is taking applications for a New Roommate at The Cite 2,000 in Downtown, Miami #910. Make sure you claim the Top Bunk ’cause Gudda Gudda pissed on the bottom one.
This was Jae Millz responce after MediaTakeOut.com aired out after Child Services Investigated my condo. Jae Millz you fucked up ’cause you were the only one out of the roommates who knew my real address. You went too far & took this beef to a whole different level."
I can't get enough of her... Superhead has really molded the future generations of Jump Offs everywhere.. Kat Stacks says that she is writing a book that will tell all the details of all our favorite rappers and athletes... seesh!
So T.I says that this album will be more aggresive than Paper trail... Which I can tell from the single...."I'm Back" is straight sick!!!! I broke it on the Power Mix @ 5pm and had to start it over it was so hot....Reminded me of Trap Music and Urban Ledgend....Seesh.. But I'm sure while you are in trial you can't make an album like that.... However, I am patiently waiting.. Matter of fact here is a THROWBACK T.I "I'm Serious" Funny thing is I got introduced to T.I's music because I was a Beenie man fan... Weird Huh????????
Ok let's be messy... 1. We were talking about Diddy sh*tting on Wacka Flocka on his own song on FB (I forgot who said it might have been JD) 2. Did Diddy say that??? "I only mess with J.LOs" Sure Diddy bop. 3. Is that the same chain that Wacka Flocka got jacked from him and they posted it on the internet? 4. Why is Ricky wearing all that fur looking like Muffasa and a hairy cranberry. 5. Now why Wacka didn't change his verse? 6. For real Wacka is one of those fine ass dudes that you would smash and never speak to again because he talks like "O LET DO IT".......
You know I am truly impressed with Nicki's humbleness..She seems very genuine under the Barbie stuff... Well I might not be able to relate at my age but I can see her star power.
So J.Cole and Young Chris from the old ROC. So does this mean...What I think it may possibly mean??? Like for real Like.. Will Jay actually sig ...........SUSH!!! I won't even say it because I don't want to talk about it.. But that would be awesome!!!!!!
