OG Ron C has announced the formation his new label Chopped Not Slopped Entertainment, a partnership with DJ Michael "5000" Watts to launch in 2012. During an interview with The Source, the chopped and screwed pioneer revealed that there are nine DJs signed to the imprint and that it’s intended to put an official stamp on slowed and throwed releases.

“Me and Mike Watts just got back together to form a new label for 2012. After 15 years, we’re doing it again,” he said. “So in 2012, we decided that we’re going to start the new label, called Chopped Not Slopped Entertainment. And what it basically is is it’s giving the seal and approval of chopped ‘n screwed music, saying that if it didn’t come from this label, it’s not official. It’s certified. So if you don’t see that logo on there, that Chopped stars logo on there, it’s not official.”

DJs signed to the label include OG Ron C, DJ Michael Watts, DJ Candlestick, Mr. Rogers, DJ Chose, DJ Mankind, DJ Hollygrove, DJ Lil Steve and DJ Ruckus.

For a hot minute, Houston rapper Mike Jones was everywhere. Dude was gimmicky, repeating his name throughout songs and giving out his real cell number. But people overlooked that because he had a bonafied hit early on with "Still Tippin", a collaboration with Slim Thug and Pall Wall. At that time, Mike was with Michal "5000" Watts at Swishahouse where he dropped the album 'Who Is Mike Jones?'. Seeing an opportunity to grab a bigger piece of the pie, Mike formed Ice Age Entertainment and dropped the mostly ignored album 'The Voice'. In addition to waning popularity, Mike was running into trouble with other rappers locally in Houston. At the 2008 Ozone Awards, held in Houston, he got punched in the nose by Trae The Truth for referring to himself as the "President Of Houston", even though he never repped the city according to Trae. Ozone caught up with Pall Wall recently and asked him just what the hell happened to Mike. Seems, Mike wasn't one of Paul's favorite people and he let that be known. "Ever since he left Swishahouse I haven’t really kept track of him. I really didn’t know him too well before he came to Swishahouse. I’d say he dug his own grave. He lied to a lot of people, he turned his back on a lot of people, and he burned a lot of bridges. I don’t want to kick a dog while he’s down and I don’t wanna just talk shit about him, but I think a lot of people were happy when [Trae] punched him and knocked him out. But at the same time, a lot of people were mad at Trae too. It’s not like Mike Jones is the gangsta of the year, so in my opinion, you don’t really get points for beating up Mike Jones. Some people say it was a publicity stunt on Trae’s part, but I disagree with that totally because I know Trae and he doesn’t really do publicity stunts like that. If Trae feels disrespected, he’s going to address it. I think that’s what happened. If somebody disrespects you, [punching them] is not always the answer, but it’s definitely sometimes the answer. So I don’t feel like Trae was wrong in any form or fashion. Trae doesn’t do publicity stunts. But like I said, Mike Jones burned his bridge with a lot of people, so he probably had a knock out coming from somewhere at some time anyway. I’m positive of that." Well, Damn!!

The Houston rap duo of Paul Wall aka 'The People's Champ' and Chamillionaire 'The Mixtape Messiah' have put in a long 11 year grind to reach the place they're at in their careers.

The two friends from high school formed the group, The Color Changin' Click and began to grow a large southern audience through their mixtapes and album 'Get Ya Mind Correct'.

The friendship soured at one point and the two parted ways only to come back together recently.

Paul and Cham sat down with Hard Knock TV and talked about coming up in the game, being a mixed race group

"Major labels would get excited about something like that [a mixed race rap group] cause they'd see some kind of gimmick," Cham says. "But that's what makes us authentic because it was more natural. A lot of people didn't even know Paul was white at first. They used to hear the freestyles and didn't know."

Paul said that a lot of people mistook him for being hispanic or Louisiana Creole in the beginning.

Like with any other group, Paul and Cham had to fight to get that initial respect.

"I think at the time [the beginning] maybe it might have been like there were a whole bunch of people already established and we were just the two new guys. So looking at us they were like 'what is this coming into this new situation?' Cham explains. "Then as time progressed we started to earn our respect."

Paul did remember one time when race was an issue early in their careers..

"We used to do a lot of shows in Pensacola, Roy Jones Jr [boxer] had a club, 'Star 69'. We were first coming up we did a show there, the show was sold out," Paul tells Hard Knock. "I went to the bar to get something to drink and I overheard someone next to me say 'when Paul Wall coming on stage?' And I just leaned over and said 'yeah wassup man I'm bout to go on in about 20 minutes. And he's looking at me like I was crazy. He was like 'why you talking to me?' 'Nah you just said Paul Wall and I'm Paul Wall' and he was just puzzled like 'nah nah'. Then later on after the show he came up and was just laughing and i said 'what's up?'. He said 'mam I'm just torn between two worlds cause I hate white people with a passion, I hate crackers, but you're my favorite rapper so I don't know if I should love you or hate you. Damn I just gotta love you cause I love your music'".

Paul Wall's new cd 'Heart Of A Champion' is in stores now so go cop that.

Houston rapper Chamillionaire had a huge hit a couple of years back with "Ridin Dirty." Since then he hasn't fared so well.

TMZ cameras recently caught up with him to ask about his mansion in Houston that was recently foreclosed on.

"Let me give you the short business answer. I bought a house in Houston and I decided to let that house go because the house ended up being worth nothing when the market went down," he said. "I paid like close to $2 million for that house and I decided to let it go, give it back to the bank. It wasn't a situation where they came and took it from me. I felt like I didn't want to pay that much for a house that I'm never at."

Cham said he's making money touring so money is definitely not the issue. It was strictly a business decision.

Whatever N****
