2012-03-06T05:55:00.002-08:00

by STEVEN J. HOROWITZ

UPDATE: Contrary to Tyga's comments, Nas is not starting a record label.

Nas has reportedly launched a new record label titled Kings and Queens.

During an interview on MTV's RapFix Live with Sway Calloway, Tyga, who collaborated with Esco and Wale on the cut "Kings and Queens," said that the Queensbridge rapper took inspiration from the cut and decided to start his own imprint bearing the same name.

"[Nas] actually has a label called Kings and Queens that he just started, so he was like, it's just cliché that I sent him a song called '[King] and Queens' and he just started a label called Kings and Queens, which is crazy," he said.

Nas previously launched Ill Will Records in 1999 upon releasing his fourth album Nastradamus. In 2005, he launched The Jones Experience under Def Jam.

Young Guru Talks Jay-Z's New Solo LP, Says "Watch The Throne 2" In Consideration

2012-03-06T05:52:00.003-08:00

by SEAN RYON

Young Guru gives a few details about Jay-Z's next album and says "Watch the Throne 2" is a possibility for the future.

Complex recently caught up with Jay-Z's go-to studio engineer Young Guru to talk about the Brooklyn legend's future projects. Although Guru kept tight-lipped about Hova's twelfth solo LP, he did mention that the project will follow a tightly focused concept that will surely please his fans.

"Jay-Z is always working on stuff, it’s a concept that I can’t talk about but I’m marveled at how smart this guy is," he noted. "When he told me the concept, I was like ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ It was just so simple. It’s not a concept album though. It’s not like American Gangster, it’s not a Beatles concept album. It has a concept and a title, and the title and the concept fit him so well that people are going to be like ‘Wow.’"

He added, "The simplicity of the title and the concept that it conveys is incredible...I can’t tell you the title, it’s so good it’s like, ‘Oh my god why didn’t I think of that? What made you think of that and why haven’t we done that before?’ It’s just staring us in the face all these years, we could’ve been put that out as an album concept."

Guru also spoke on the possibility of a sequel to Jay and Kanye West's widely successful collaborative album Watch the Throne. Although there has been no confirmation as to whether the Roc Nation and G.O.O.D. Music impresarios would link up for a second album, he said it's definitely in consideration. For the time being, however, he said that Jay and 'Ye are focused on their respective solo andG.O.O.D. Music compilation LPs.

"It's definitely a serious consideration. Hasn’t been underway yet but definitely serious consideration. Has been talked about but hasn’t been executed yet. Definitely could happen," he explained. "A lot of artists just say shit too but if you think about it, this is just my opinion, the way I would like it to go - I would like Kanye to do the G.O.O.D. Music album and Jay-Z to do a solo album then they go out and tour and do all that shit and then next year, or the end of the year, we get Watch the Throne 2. To me, that would be the best thing to happen. I think the G.O.O.D. Music album is necessary for Kanye to establish that brand because they need to establish [themselves]."

Prodigy Says He's Fine With Wiz Khalifa's "O.N.I.F.C." Album Title

2012-03-06T05:50:00.000-08:00

by SLAVA KUPERSTEIN

Prodigy has no problem with Wiz Khalifa drawing inspiration from "H.N.I.C."

When Wiz Khalifa finally explained the meaning behind his upcoming album, O.N.I.F.C., it was revealed that the acronym stood for Only Nigga In First Class, and that the meaning was derived from Prodigy's H.N.I.C. solo debut.

Now, Prodigy reveals to MTV News that that's just fine with him.

"Yeah, I heard about the Wiz Khalifa project coming out. I forgot the exact name of what he called it, but I read an article that he got the idea of doing that from my H.N.I.C.projects that I put out," said P.

"That's all love. I love Wiz Khalifa, I love his music. I ain't mad at ya, dog," added Prodigy, before offering to collaborate. "Let's do something together. Let's do a song or something. Let's do a tour or something. I got ya back, dun."

Andre 3000 Explains How He Picks Collaborations

by STEVEN J. HOROWITZ

Andre 3000 reveals what it takes for him to dole out an elusive guest verse for another artist.

Since Outkast released Idlewild in 2006, Andre 3000's output has been noticeably rare, with only a few guest verses dropping here and there. Speaking with The FADER, Three Stacks explained what it takes for him to hop on a track with another artist and how it all comes down to the music when he's deciding where to toss a 16.

"Most of the time it has to be the music. The music has to kinda move me in some kind of way. Sometimes it’s emotionally, sometimes it’s just being there supporting another person," he explained. "Even the Chris Brown remix [for "Deuces"] — of course I love the beat, but at that time a lot of people were on Chris Brown as a human being. And I know he’d gone through his troubles or whatever and I just was like—I just wanted to stand by him and be like, Hey, you know, you can’t really charge a man forever and condemn a man forever. So it’s really just like a support thing. I thought it was a cool thing to do."

Echoing earlier statements that he's hoping to release his solo album in 2012, Andre emphasized how now is the time to get the wheels turning on the oft-delayed LP. The ATLien notes that he has to put out his ideas because if he doesn't, then someone else will execute the same concepts.

"I’m actually putting myself on deadlines more than ever. I don’t have someone policing that. Even in Outkast there were no police. But now it’s just time. I’m at a place now where my deadline is my own self. I’m looking at it like, Okay, I don’t want to be like 40 years old and to haven’t done this album. And I don’t have a sense of time. When people say, Man, we haven’t heard from you in like five years, or seen you, to me, it feels like a year. I don’t have a good sense of time, but I do know I’m not a spring chicken anymore. I have to get my ideas out before I just let them go away. That’s how ideas work. All the songs are written, we all just get them as gifts. And if you don’t act upon your ideas they’ll go to somebody else. I’ve seen so many ideas that I just sat on that other people have done years later, and I’m like, Wow, I could have done that. I just didn’t do it."

by SEAN RYON

Max B checks in with HipHopConnection to confirm that the rumors about his appeal being denied were false.

Less than a week ago, Max B's label Amalgam Digital shot down rumors that the currently incarcerated rapper's long-pending appeal had been denied and that he'd have to serve out his full 75 year prison sentence for a 2006 attempted robbery-turned-homicide. Now, Biggaveli tuned in to HipHopConnection to confirm that the rumors about his appeal were false.

According to Wavy Crocket, he has yet to hear back from the court system regarding the status of his appeal. The former Byrd Gang rapper kept a positive outlook on the matter, saying that his appeal date is coming up in the near future.

"I just need y'all to stop the frauds and the rumors, [I'm] still right here. My [appeal] didn't get denied," he explained. "I'm still waiting on the courts, but that thing right there's right around the corner…it just be a matter of time before I unleash the dragon…when I step out the can, I'ma be on my grown man shit."

Max B also spoke on the new music he has lined up for release. He explained that he has two brand new mixtapes on deck: Million Dollar Baby with DJ Lazy K and Public Domain with the Evil Empire. Max added that the latter project may end up being a double disc unit bundled together with a DVD.

"We gonna do a dope man classic," he explained. "My new shit is impeccable…shit is unreal. It's just surreal, it's unimaginable…[my] next mixtape, I'ma tell y'all like this…the big one to touch down is gonna be the Million Dollar Baby joint [with Lazy K], then I'm gonna do a Public Domain double [disc] joint [with the Evil Empire]. I might do a triple-double and give them the DVD. I'm just gonna come out, give y'all niggas like 50 joints."

Young Jeezy Says He Wanted Kanye West On The "I Do (Remix)"

2012-02-28T00:06:00.000-08:00

by DANIELLE HARLING

Young Jeezy talks "Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition" collaborations, says he edited "SupaFreak" for 2 Chainz appearance.

Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy revealed an interesting bit of news about his most recent album, Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition, during an on-air interview with DJ Whoo Kid. According to Young Jeezy, Drake was initially on the earlier version of “I Do” and on top of that Kanye West was originally intended to be on the remix of the song.

“Actually he [Drake] was on the earlier version man,” Young Jeezy explained to DJ Whoo Kid. “And I told him I wanted to do a remix with him and Kanye so I was really waiting on the Kanye verse to come back, but then the record was so close to being number one I was like ‘Fuck it. I’mma just have to let it go like this.’ That mothafucka number one now so I can’t do no complaining.”

On top of attempting to recruit Kanye West for the “I Do (Remix)" Young Jeezy also revealed that “SupaFreak,” his TM: 103 track featuring 2 Chainz, initially featured three verses from Jeezy but one was dropped in order to fit 2 Chainz’ verse.

“2 Chainz one of them cats man you know he kinda went through the grind so you kinda gotta respect his grind because he really got out there and got on the right records and made the right records,” said Young Jeezy. “The reason why he was my first choice is because those are the types of records he’s really been fuckin with lately. And those are the types of records I was doing a lot in the beginning of my career. Now it’s like ‘Cool, he do them type of records. Let’s do one together.’”

Young Jeezy also went on to explain that there will likely be a music video for the “I Do (Remix)" and that it’s really a matter of getting everyone together as well as solidifying a treatment for the video.

“I do have a shoe coming out soon but it won’t be Trukfit,” he said. “I have [a] shoe with a well-known company. I just don’t want to say yet because I haven’t dotted the line yet. But it’s done.”

He responded to speculation that the line could be coming out on Supra, but would not confirm. “Nah, it’s not a Nike or Reebok, I can tell you that much,” said Wayne, addressing a possible Supra collaboration. “Uh-oh. Watch out.”

50 Cent Says Trip To Africa Has Inspired Him To Record New Music

2012-02-27T23:56:00.001-08:00

by STEVEN J. HOROWITZ

50 Cent explains how his trip to Kenya was "enlightening."

50 Cent recently took a trip to Africa earlier this month to further his mission to alleviate hunger - a visit that has inspired him to hit the studio. During an interview with theAssociated Press, Fif said that his lyrics are motivated by his experiences in Kenya but that fans will have to listen closely to interpret his message.

"I've put portions of my experience there in the actual songs, but it's so small that they'll have to listen to get it," he said. "I wanted to keep the record, creatively, in a space where when people listen to it, they just enjoy it before they can really understand what it was I'm saying; there's things on it that have double meanings."

Fiddy has made it his mission to stop hunger in Africa, donating proceeds from sales of his energy drink Street King to the cause. He explained how seeing hunger firsthand has inspired him and that he’s provided more than 3.5 million meals so far.

"It enlightened me in different ways," he said. "To actually see people under the circumstances that I saw was a totally different experience. I don't think you can prepare yourself for that, no matter how many times you've seen the images."

Drake Responds To Beefs With Pusha T, Ludacris And Future

2012-02-27T23:53:00.002-08:00

by SEAN RYON

Drake airs out his publicized feuds with a bevy of Hip Hop's biggest acts in the latest issue of Vibe.

Drake and Common may have squashed their highly publicized beef, but that doesn't mean that the Young Money rapper is finished airing out his dirty laundry in public. Now, the rapper addresses several other feuds he has going with Pusha T, Ludacris and Future.

In the February/March issue of Vibe, Drizzy spoke on his past beefs with rappers Future, Ludacris and Pusha T. Beginning with Future's comments that Drake's absence from the video of the "Tony Montana" remix was "a slap in the face," Drake said that he has no issues with Future.

"I’ve got no issues with [Future]," he said. "I’m happy I got on the song ['Tony Montana']."

Drizzy then turned his focus to Ludacris, who attacked him and Big Sean on his song "Badaboom" over their hash-tag style of rap. He chalked up the diss record to an attempt on Luda's part to capitalize off his fame.

"[Ludacris,] that’s a case of someone trying to use my marketing money to get things going again for themselves," he said explained. "That didn’t affect my day, my month, my year. I didn’t take any of that seriously."

Finally, Drake tackled the subject of Pusha T's supposed diss on the song "Don't Fuck With Me," which featured lines like "The talk don’t match the leather/The swag don’t match the sweaters" that sparked speculation among listeners. The YMCMB star couldn't explain the reason for the possible shot, postulating that, "maybe that guy is bored."

"[As for Pusha T's subliminal shots,] I’ve been really open about my love for the Clipse. I don’t know [why he dissed me], maybe that guy is bored,” he touted.

Birdman Explains Signing Limp Bizkit To Cash Money

2012-02-27T23:51:00.000-08:00

by SLAVA KUPERSTEIN

Birdman discusses signing the Nu Metal band.

Cash Money turned heads last week when the label signed late 90s-early 2000s Rock-Rap band Limp Bizkit.

Now, label head Birdman explains what spurred the surprising move.

“Fred [Durst] reached out, bruh,” Birdman said in an interview with XXLmag.com. “It was weird how it happened. He was like, ‘Stunna, what’s good?’ I was like, ‘What’s poppin, 5?’ [Fred said] ‘I wanna join the team.’ Whoa! For real? He didn’t have to say it twice. I was already a fan of him. When the opportunity came, we really was supposed to announce it at the Grammys. Wayne was going to announce it at the Grammys, but he did it when he felt like it.”

Birdman added that the group's first single features Lil Wayne and will come out next week.

“He’s a visionary, he a great artist,” Birdman said of Durst. “Also, I want him to be a part of our staff and take over the rock department and bring us over more talent because that’s what he does. I think with having Limp he brings a lot."

Before releasing Gold Cobra last year to mixed reviews, Limp Bizkit's last album was 2005's The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1).

2012-02-22T00:20:00.000-08:00

by STEVEN J. HOROWITZ

Young Jeezy explains how he had to go to war to get the track on his debut.

Young Jeezy recently chopped it up with Shade 45'sStatik Selektah about everything from his latest albumTM103 to how he promoted his mixtape Trap or Die by handing out 700,000 copies. During the chat, he also revealed that he had to fight to get the intro track "Thug Motivation 101" on TM101 on the album and how his label, Def Jam, tried to block it from the LP.

"Crazy story with that shit. I was fighting to get that song on the record. The label wanted to take it off. I was like, y’all fucking crazy. It was one of those things. In the beginning, a lot of motherfuckers didn’t know where I was going with it. I had to stand on that. It was one of those win or lose things, and I feel like I won, you feel me? It was a dark time, but it was a lot of money.

Tyga Explains "Careless World: Rise Of The Last King" Recall

2012-02-22T00:18:00.000-08:00

by SEAN RYON

Tyga explains how he first heard about the recall of his YMCMB debut through Twitter.

Two days ago, YMCMB fans received a shock when news broke that Tyga's long awaited studio debut Careless World: Rise of the Last King had been suddenly recalled over an uncleared sample of Martin Luther King, Jr. Now, the Compton rapper talks about first hearing of the threat of a last minute delay of his LP.

In a recent interview with V-103's Greg Street, Tyga explained that it was actually his fans who first informed him of the possible snage in Careless World's release. He said that he received a number of TwitPics of fans receiving the recall notice and even holding the LP already on store shelves with a notice attached saying the album could not be sold. Despite this final hour scare, Tyga said that his label was able to iron any issues out with Dr. King's estate and that the album's release went according to schedule.

"Basically, [the stores and label] recalled them," he explained. "I'm looking on my Twitter and fans are hitting me up all day like, posting pictures of [the album] and they have some in stores, but then they have a piece of paper next to them saying 'Recalled - can't sell.' I'm like, 'Yo, this is crazy.' My fans are going crazy, like, 'I have it in my hand, I'm thinking about just stealing it, but I wanna buy it though,' and I'm like, 'Nah, just go back tomorrow,' so they're going to get a lot shipped today [Monday February 20], and it'll be in stores tomorrow."

DMX is not convinced that he's the father of his accuser's children.

According to TMZ, Dark Man X’s ex Patricia Trejo filed the motion in L.A. Superior Court this past Thursday (Feb. 16^th), though the rapper is not entirely convinced that he’s the father of her baby.

X was trying to get clearance from the court for permission to perform in Europe. Since Trejo filed the motion for payment, he may no longer be able to obtain the proper credentials to travel overseas.

The gravel-voiced emcee explained that he’s willing to fork over the money, but only if DNA tests prove that he’s the father.
