Young (1140)

A party for celebrity spin master DJ Trauma turned violent after three people were stabbed at the Luckie Lounge last night in Atlanta. Ludacris, Estelle, Jermaine Dupree and Young Jeezy were in attendance of the party according to sources. The incident occurred Thursday morning during a fight in the VIP area of the Luckie Food Lounge on Luckie Street about 2:30 a.m., reports say. One person was slashed on the face and two others were stabbed in their arm. The victims were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. The melee involved at least 10 people and police detailed several individuals. None of the people apprehended have been cooperative. While the identity of the men injured have not been confirmed, reports have been suggesting that the incident was linked to a long standing feud between La the Darkman, a member of DJ Drama’s Aphilliates crew and Young Jeezy’s CTE group. In November of 2008 La The Darkman and CTE clashed during the Dirty Awards, although Young Jeezy was not present during that altercation. According to unverified rumors, Young Jeezy may have been one of those attacked. A rep for Young Jeezy denied he was involved in the incident. "[Young Jeezy] was not attacked and is perfectly fine," a rep for Young Jeezy told AllHipHop.com today (June 18). No description has been given of the attacker. Source: ALLHIPHOP

Young Jeezy says real G's don't make dis records for exposure. So when Young dropped his song "24-23 (Kobe, LeBron)" to address Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman, he wanted to get his point across. "It wasn't a question of 'Why do the song now?' " Jeezy explained to MTV News. Young has refused to address Gucci for years and says this interview about the subject will be his last. "It was more so of when dude went away, did his little time or whatever — he came back. The sh-- was squashed. I wasn't trippin' on him. I was getting my money on. I was done with it. I was on my grind. I wasn't really paying attention what was going on [with Gucci]. But as you know, Slick Pulla is locked up. A few of my partners that I really been down with since day one. He started taking shots on his little mixtapes. I was really kinda done with it, because on 'Stay Strapped,' I killed him with one verse. To make a long story short, I'm tired of the bullsh--, because I know him. He ain't like that. To be honest, I don't have a problem with Gucci because I wear it — I have a problem with Radric [Gucci's Mane's given name]." There's a song called "Hurry" off of Gucci's mixtape The Writing's on the Wall that contains lines that could be taken as jabs at Young and his crew. "Girl you look like Keyshia Cole/ I know you a di-- pulla," he raps. "But can't f--- you Blood Raw/ Damn I like them Kinky flows." Gucci will neither confirm nor deny if he was throwing disses, but obviously Slick Pulla, Blood Raw and Kinky B are in Young's crew, and he used to date Keyshia Cole. Jeezy found it funny that Gucci called radio-show host Miss Info on Tuesday and downplayed the whole situation saying Jeezy was just dissing him to build hype. "This is what he does. He always does it," Jeezy said. "He says what he says, then he hides his hands. Then when you say something, you're the bad guy. I'm definitely not the aggressor in this situation. I'm just holding my business. I'm a grown-ass man. The best thing for you to do is get your money and leave me the f--- alone. I heard their little statement, 'We ain't feeding into that.' Y'all been feeding into that for four years. Get your money, dog. Don't be out here with the bullsh--. "I don't got no reason to be picking on nobody or f--- with nobody for no exposure," he added, denying Gucci's claims. "Come on, dog. I ain't never did no sh-- like that to sell no records or get no notoriety. It's personal because he keeps f---ing throwing rocks and hiding your hands, man." Jeezy debuted "24-23" at Atlanta hot spot the Velvet Room, where Gucci Mane and Snoop Dogg were in the VIP section. "I heard he played the song after we left," Gucci told MTV News. Young has a slightly different account. "I heard the n---a was at the club, so I went to the club to see what's up," Young said. "He was at one of my spots. They snuck him out the front door while we was coming through the back." The Jeezy and Gucci Mane tension goes back four years, after they made the hit record "So Icy." Shortly after the song blew up, the two had a falling out and things snowballed. The pair actually sat down in the aftermath and squashed things, but soon after, Jeezy heard more disses. The Snowman says he tried to stay away from the nonsense to focus on his career — a career that Young feels Gucci was envious of. "It's not like I had a problem with him — he had a problem with me, because he was jealous." he explained. "That's what this is about. Now you getting your money, OK, get your money — don't come f--- with me." Jeezy and Gucci are both billed on two concerts this weekend — 102 Jamz SuperJam in North Carolina and Atlanta's Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash. Jeezy says he doesn't expect any problems, especially in the ATL. "At the end of the day, I'm not worried about no show or nothing," Jeezy offered. "I'm getting my money. Nothing's stopping me from getting my money. You feel me? This is for my city, this is for Atlanta. I been the king of this sh-- for a while as far as Birthday Bash is concerned. We're coming there to do our show." Source : MTVNEWS

Young Buck just dropped his mixtape Back on My Buck Sh--, and his stance on his affiliation with the G-Unit (at least in this interview) has softened a bit. "Much respect to them dudes, but I'm doing my thing right now," Buck said. Like Lloyd Banks, Buck said he's officially off Interscope but still signed to the G-Unit. "To be honest, I'm trying to get away from that situation," he said in Atlanta. "No sooner than I get away from that situation, you'll be hearing from Young Buck." By that, he means a full album. He has secured distribution through Sony Red for his Cashville Records. C-Bo and the Outlaws are still down with him. If there's one thing Buck has learned from having his differences with 50 Cent and his pitfalls in the music industry, it's that the game is "90 percent business and 10 percent talent." Sticking with the business theme, he said fans should check for his track "Letter to the Labels." "That's letting the labels know I'mma do it with or without you," he said. "Cashville Records, we got this." Buck is shooting a movie called "No Warning" with Omar Gooding. Source:MTVNEWS

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young isn't saying play me or trade me, but he's coming pretty close. In an interview with Baltimore's WMAR-TV, Young said if he doesn't win back his starting job, he wants to move on. The problem is that Kerry Collins is still the starter. "I definitely want to get back out there playing ball and picking up where I left off, winning games and having a good time with my teammates and with the fans," Young said, according to the television station. "At the same time, if them guys don't want me to be in there, it's time for me to make a career change for myself. Because the fact is I'm ready to play ball. If they're not ready for me to play ball, then somebody is." The former rookie of the year suffered a knee injury in the first game of the season last year. Veteran Kerry Collins stepped in and remained the starter for the remainder of the year, leading the Titans to a 13-3 record and the playoffs. Young's season was further marred by an incident after that first game against Jacksonville in which the quarterback was reported missing. He was later found and there was some question as to his state of mind. This offseason, Titans coach Jeff Fisher said that Young would have to unseat Collins as the starter. "I'm still focused, staying focused," Young said, according to WMAR. "I got a lot of people that look up to me. I got a lot of fans that love me and want to see me back out on the football field."

How can Young Jeezy outdo himself this year? Well, Jeezy has just been announced as the headlining act for one of the biggest hip-hop concerts of the year: Atlanta radio station 107.9's 14th annual Birthday Bash. Jeezy has the task of closing the concert that also features Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, OJ Da Juiceman, Soulja Boy Tell'em, Yung L.A., Trey Songz, Young Dro, Hurricane Chris, Jeremih, Keri Hilson, F.L.Y., Lil' Will, Pleasure P and Plies. Birthday Bash 14 takes place June 20 at Philips Arena in Atlanta. At last year's Birthday Bash, Jeezy stole the show, bringing Kanye West and Usher onstage, among others. "I gave you a show," Jeezy told us backstage after last year's show. "[At the] Birthday Bash two years ago, I brought out Jay-Z. Shout-outs to Hov. It's about topping it. Making people step their game up. Relationships is everything. When you really know people, you tell them, 'Come through, we got Birthday Bash. Be there,' and they there? To me, that means everything. This year I called out Dream, Kanye, Usher, Blood Raw. ... I'm from Atlanta, so they pretty much see you every day. They know you gonna come out, but when you bring those special people out, it just gives it that extra umph. Me, personally, I take pride in Birthday Bash. Birthday Bash 13 was mine, by the way. "Shout-out to Kanye, he flew all the way in," Jeezy added about West, who had another concert the same night. "I had to throw him a private jet courtesy of Young." Usher flew in last year from Japan. Jeezy had a huge moment last week at Hot 97's Summer Jam in New Jersey when he brought Jay-Z and Drake onstage for his set. Source:MTVNEWS

A really big rap tour is exactly what the game needs right now. A rep for Soulja Boy Tell'em told MTV News that the rapper will be joining Lil Wayne on tour this summer, along with Young Jeezy and Wayne's fast-rising protégé Drake. Sources in Wayne's camp told MTV News they are confident that a tour with at least some of the four players will happen. In May, Drake told MuchMusic about a similar tour that, at the time, was supposed to include Jay-Z. "God willing, if everything goes according to plan and everybody's schedule is in place, then I will be on tour with some amazing people," Drake said. "One of them being Jay-Z, one of them being Lil Wayne, one of them being Young Jeezy and one of them being me." Jay has lined up a tour this summer, with Ciara opening up some dates, that kicks off in Las Vegas on July 3. Thursday night from the Los Angeles Lakers game, Soulja Boy Tell'em announced the tour on Twitter. "TSA (Twitter Service Announcement) — I'm going on Tour with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy & Drake this summer! Get ya tickets ASAP!!!!" he Tweeted. Dates for the tour are still being locked down. Drake has been working on Rihanna's next album as well as his proper debut album. Soulja Boy has been in the lab recording, as has Young Jeezy. Wayne told us on Sunday that his long-awaited Rebirth album is done. It's now scheduled for an August 18 release, although a new single has not been announced. "I wanted to grow, and show my growth as well," Wayne said after the MTV Movie Awards. "It's a difference from when you go in a room and come out and you're better and everyone says, 'How did you do that?' So with this album, I wanted everyone to see my growing pains." Wayne recently wrapped up his I Am Music Tour with T-Pain, Gym Class Heroes, Gorilla Zoe, Keyshia Cole and others.

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey — You guys better stop sleeping on Young Jeezy. The Atlanta rap king pulls out all stops during his big show appearances. The Snowman had the highlight of the night at Sunday's Summer Jam concert, bringing out both Drake and Jay-Z on his set. Young set it off with his massive stadium knockers/ club bangers, such as "Who Dat" and "Bottom of the Map." He always seems to have the upper hand on shows such as these, at any concert for that matter, because the sound of his music is huge, and the crowd loves his anthems. Jeezy said he wanted do something for the ladies, and with a couple of thumps of bass preceding him, Drake ran out for "Best I Ever Had." Tens of thousands sang along as the energetic Canadian bopped and performed his hit. "You the f---in' best!" he yelled. Drake, and you could say everybody else on the lineup, was trumped when Jay-Z came out during "Put On." The Tri-State area crowd filled the home of the New York Giants with applause for the musical icon. Jay spit the verse to his Jeezy remix, then laid his game down with "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)," the new song that has been getting played on Hot 97 nonstop. Jay simply walked off the stage when he was done. Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, More At Summer Jam The Diplomats — Jim Jones and Juelz Santana — were the show closers. Three years in row now, the collective from Harlem have been the chosen send-off act. "I heard somebody got killed," Jones said, sarcastically referring to Jay-Z's musical burial of Auto-Tune. "They say my man Auto-Tune got killed. Is this a funeral or we came to party?" Jones then went into "Byrd Gang Money." Juelz Santana came out for a few favorites, like "Hey Ma," then the Dips addressed the elephant in the room: There'd be no reunion with Killa Cam'ron at Summer Jam. It seems like he's really done with Jimmy and Juelz. "We here, and we love Cam," Jim said. "You wanna do something as if Cam was here?" They played "Suck it or Not." Soulja Boy Tell'em came out as a guest for "Turn My Swag On." Ryan Leslie came out for Jim's "Precious," and as expected, Ron Browz brought the Auto-Tune for "Pop Champagne," as did DJ Webstar for "Dancing on Me." Other Summer Jam guests included Red Man and Method Man, who came out during Mary J. Blige's set. It was big to see Lil' Kim do "Lighters Up" as one of T-Pain's surprises. The Queen Bee was grinding all over the singer during her new song, "Download." Pain also brought out DJ Khaled and Ace Hood. Jadakiss left the stage in a hurry after his set. He went on pretty early in the show, before the sun had even gone down. The Lox member did bring out Busta Rhymes for "Respect My Conglomerate," but a few of his major tricks outta the hat didn't solidify. No OJ Da Juiceman, Gucci Mane or DMX, and a big rumor that he was going to bring out Cam'ron wasn't true. Also on the bill were The-Dream (his guest was Fabolous), Day26, Elephant, Mavado and Serani, whose "No Games" had the audience chanting, "It's, it's Serani!" Source:MTVNews
