Drake Performs "Show Me A Good Time" Live On David Letterman [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 2, 2010 at 9:09am

Video After The Jump I'm really digging the trend of rappers using bands in concert and live television appearances. It shows the progression of hip hop, from when performances were strictly two turntables and a mic. While I see nothing wrong with the latter, I do think live bands will become more the norm, and will free the dj up to do more cutting and scratching. All that leads up to is me saying Drake was exceptional on Late Show With David Letterman last night (October 1). Where he performed "Show Me A Good Time" from his debut album 'Thank Me Later.' How do you guys feel about live bands vs just the mc and his dj?

J. Cole Speaks On Potential Battle With Drake "I'm A Competitive Person So I'm A Fan Of Throwing Jabs & Shots" POLL

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 24, 2010 at 7:03pm

Drake and J.Cole are two of the hottest young rappers in the game. Drake has already dropped a platinum album, while Cole is gearing up for his Roc Nation debut. Fans are already talking about who would win a potential lyrical battle on wax between the two. It's something Cole has contemplated himself. He recently talked to Vibe and gave his thoughts on the possibility. "From a fan’s point of view, who are you going to get excited about [to] battle? I feel like that’s why people push the J.Cole/Drake thing so much, ‘cause I think we’re probably the first two artists that fans are super excited about. The two that they would like to see go at it. I don’t blame ‘em. But it’s just a sign of the times. Rap goes in cycles. I’m not promoting that, but I’m a competitive person in general, so I’m a fan of people throwing jabs and shots. That motivates me," Cole said. What do you guys think? Who would come out on top if these two went at it?

Nicki Minaj Refuses To Talk About Sexuality "I Don't Have Sex W/Men Or Women Right Now. If Bisexual Is What They Wanna Call Me Then Fine"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 22, 2010 at 3:14pm

Nicki Minaj has refused to discuss her sexuality, claiming she doesn't understand the fascination with her private life. Speculation about the Young Money rapper's sexual preference has surrounded her since she burst onto the rap scene last year, with some reports suggesting she is bisexual. Lil Wayne's protege has previously made jokes about having threesomes with R n B songstress Cassie and model Lauren London which has fueled reports that she could be into women. Minaj also hit the headlines earlier this month for her joke marriage to Drake on Twitter, with even his mum thinking they had tied the knot. Speaking to Complex magazine, the Your Love singer claims she is happy to keep people guessing about her sexuality stating: "Take what you want from it (the bisexual rumours). (In the press) I didn't say (I don't like women)." "I said I don't have sex with women. I don't have sex with men right now either. If (bisexual is) what they wanna call me, then fine." Minaj also revealed to the publication that she is currently single and enjoying a period of celibacy, saying: "Maybe it's because we don't need that physical stimulation all the time. I can just have a daydream and it does it for me." Source: MTVUK

Swizz Beats & Lil Wayne Recorded A Part 2 To Eminem's "Stan" Called "Anne"? Swizzy Explains [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 24, 2010 at 7:30am

Video After The Jump Super producer Swizz Beats should know better than anyone that it's hard to duplicate a classic song, having already made so many himself. But Swizzy is going to attempt bring back the magic people felt when they first heard Eminem's "Stan" on a new record he's recorded with Lil Wayne titled "Anne". The beat for the track was originally produced for Eminem's 'Relapse' album as "Stan 2", but Slim wanted to head in a different direction. So Swizz is using the beat for his upcoming 'Haute Living' album. "There was a lot of controversy over this before," Swizz said "The Eminem album before ['Recovery'], 'Relapse,' I submitted a beat to him called 'Stan 2.' When I was doing an interview and they said, 'What you working on?' [Em] was amongst the people in the lineup I submitted things for. I said, 'I did a track for Eminem called 'Stan 2.' So it got out of hand in the media. He didn't want to do 'Stan 2.' But what I have on my album is a song called 'Anne' with Wayne, which is crazy. The way that Wayne just...it's just ridiculous. He tells Anne, he's sorry for having a Stan" I gotta hear this......

Drake Talks About His Admiration For Jimi Hendrix, Rapper Visits His Grave, Leaves Note On Pack Of Zig Zags

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 18, 2010 at 8:59am

Toronto rapper Drake has a vast knowledge of music stored in his brain. His tastes range from hip hop to rock and r&b. So it should come as no surprise that his own music is not confined to one genre. On his debut album, 'Thank Me Later', Drizzy easily moved from spitting raps to singing entire r&b flavored joints throughout the album. In recent weeks, Drake revealed his love for fallen pop angel Aaliyah, who died at age 22 in a plane crash. Penning an open letter to her on his website. "My love for her goes beyond anything. Maybe it's corny of me to like a girl's music so much. I wish I had the chance to meet her. I would've tried to marry her," Drake tells Rolling Stone in their upcoming issue. He also talked to RS about his admiration for guitar legend, Jimi Hendrix, who also died young, age 27. "We just left Seattle, where I played the Bumbershoot festival and visited Jimi Hendrix's memorial, I'm a huge fan," he explains. "I play the DVD of Hendrix at Woodstock to pump me up before I perform. Watching him go out there at 10 in the morning in shitty weather and conquer the crowd always gives me a little more adrenaline. I just left a little letter for Jimi at his grave," Drake says. "It wasn't a real letter. I just wrote him a message on a pack of Zig-Zags. It said, "Still inspired." That's what's up, now we'll have to wait and see if Drake drops another album this year as Mack Maine hinted to MTV a month ago.

Nicki Minaj Speaks On Being Hip Hop's Gayest MC "The Gay Community Has Supported Me More Than I Ever Could Have Imagined"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 5, 2010 at 7:54am

Nicki Minaj is the new Queen of hip hop, and somewhere along the way, she has also become a big influence in the gay and lesbian community. Female pop artists like Madonna, Grace Jones and Lady Gaga have huge fan bases in those communities as well, but it's not something that has ever happened before in rap. The Trinidad born femcee recently talked with PaperMag about how this came to be, and why she embraces it. "I didn't set out to do that. I just like to put a spotlight on the people who support me, and it just so happens, you know, that the gay community has supported me -- more than I ever could have imagined," she says. "I see videos on YouTube where they impersonate me, and they do an amazing freaking job of dressing up as me." Nicki credits going to LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (the "Fame school") as being a major influence and with keeping her open minded. "I saw gay kids, I saw white kids, I saw grunge and pink hair and piercings," she recalls. "I think because of that, I didn't put limits on myself or what I was going to put in my raps. I really just wanted to be diverse." The Young Money rapper thinks that one day we will see a male rapper have just as big of an impact in the gay community. Nicki, who has said she is bi-sexual, told Details that time might not come that soon though. "I think the world is getting more gay-friendly, so hip-hop is too. But it's harder to imagine an openly gay male rapper being embraced. People view gay men as having no street credibility. But I think we'll see one in my lifetime."

Nicki Minaj Interview W/Greg Street: Speaks On Being Female Rap's Savior, Her Album 'Pink Friday' Shipping Gold & Rappers Fearing Lil Wayne When He's Released [Audio]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 1, 2010 at 7:00pm

Audio After The Jump Nicki Minaj has put female hip hop back on the map. You could argue that she is single handedly carrying the game on her back for femcees. Her album 'Pink Friday' is set to drop November 23, and already there's talk of if it flops, other females might not get that look from major labels. But is that talk accurate or a clever marketing ploy? V-103's DJ Greg Street recently caught up with the Harajuku Barbie and spoke with her about that topic and a lot more. "I'm in a very grateful state right now," Nicki says. "I'm trying to go in with this album so I can make people proud." There's a lot riding on this project, no doubt. Nicki feels like everybody, including her fellow female rappers should support it, or else. "They [major labels] won't look to sign other female rappers if the project doesn't so well. Because they're gonna say 'well, her buzz was so crazy, if she couldn't do it no one can do it'. I don't want that to happen so I'm doing this for all the girls." Although her career has really taken off, Nicki admits there were times early on she wasn't so sure it would. "For a long time in my life, I was afraid to be a solo female rapper, because everyone told me, 'It doesn't work. It's not going to happen. Record companies are never going to invest in you just to get it. Just be part of a group.' " she said. Young Money CEO, Lil Wayne gets released from prison November 4. Nicki says the New Orleans spitter is focused. "I'm afraid for anybody, any of his competition when he gets out. Because I just feel like it's going to be monumental. He's in a great state. When I speak to him, he sounds like he has some sort of clear understanding of everything now, almost like he's had some weird sort of epiphany since he's been there, so I'm sure his stuff is only going to get better." So is Nicki right? Should other rappers fear what will happen when Weezy gets out? And if her album flops will that kill female hip hop on a mainstream level?

Nicki Minaj Says The Thought Of Dating Diddy Makes Her "Gag" Calls Her Haters, "Losers"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 27, 2010 at 7:30am

Nicki Minaj has been the subject of a lot of rumors in her short career. Has she had plastic surgery? Did she date Lil Wayne? Is she really bi-sexual? Is Diddy her manager and are the two of them involved romantically? While she didn't clear up all speculation, the Young Money femcee did set the record straight on a couple of those topics. In a recent interview with CNN, Nicki was asked about those Diddy rumors. "You know how you look at your older brother? That's how I look at Diddy. When people say that, it makes me gag. He's my friend, and he's sweet and he's a great guy, but I could never see him that way," she said. The article states that for the record, Diddy is not her manager. Nicki also had a something to say about people that constantly put down her abilities as a rapper. "The people that are inclined to hate are also inclined to be losers. A loser could never congratulate a winner - it's not in them" she says.

Tyga Says He & Chris Brown Hitting The Road For 'Fan Of A Fan Tour', Dropping Gangsta Grillz Tape W/DJ Drama [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 2, 2010 at 8:20am

Video After The Jump The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive Chris Brown is in the #1 film in the country, "Takers," and now that he's done with Hollywood (for now), he's going back to the lab. "Me, I'm definitely writing on other people's projects. A lot of in-house stuff," Brown said recently in L.A. "I got a lot of artists coming out. The single 'Deuces' features one of my artists K-Mac and Tyga [from Young Money]. I'm pushing forward. The movie's out, so I'mma have fun." "Deuces" is in the top 30 of Billboard's Hot 100 charts and #1 on urban radio. The record's success is simply due to fan support. It's part of Brown and Tyga's Fan of a Fan mixtape and skyrocketed once the video hit virally and on MTV Jams. "That was actually Chris' idea," Tyga told us about putting out a visual for the song. "I thought the record was dope. I thought it was dope for us to do that video. He got to explain his situation. It connects to his fans. His fans miss that from him. "I think the people chose the record," Tyga added. "We put the mixtape out, and we asked them: What record do you like the most? They was like, 'Deuces.' It was always coming up. It was growing on YouTube as well, like 100,000 views a day on YouTube. It was his idea to shoot the video. My homie Colin Tilly, he's done all my videos. He's done everything. All my mixtape stuff to the bigger stuff I'm doing now. He got it right. It's what people wanna see, what they wanna hear." Despite the overwhelming success of Fan of a Fan, Tyga said he and Chris aren't planning an official LP, but they are hitting the road together. "I don't think you wanna drown people too much," Tyga said about making a full album with Brown. "We've been doing a lot of stuff, though. He's on my album. We're actually working on a tour right now. A Fan of Fan Tour at the end of the year. It'll be dope." Tyga has an album coming out soon; it doesn't have a release date yet. But his next mixtape, Well Done, will hit within the next couple of weeks. It's going to be a Gangsta Grillz edition. "I feel like I had to deal with [DJ] Drama. He reminded of Wayne, when he did Dedication with him," Tyga explained. "[Wayne] was going in on every beat. All the mixtapes I've been dropping, they're close to albums. They're more songs. They have more content. This one, I wanted to rap on everybody's beat and murder every beat that's out. It's fun to do that. It's easy. I can knock that out real fast. I think Drama is dope when you wanna link up and murder beats like that." Some of the tracks Tyga is pilfering are Soulja Boy's "Pretty Boy Swag" and Nicki Minaj's "Your Love." Source: MTV

Ciara, MTV Special: 'When I Was 17' [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on July 17, 2010 at 8:37pm

Video After The Jump

MTV's 'When I Was 17' series has finally made it's way around to Ciara.

It won't come as any surprise that by the time she was 17, Ciara was very driven, but also very well liked at her high school.

As her friend Jasper describes her, "When Ciara was 17 she was just real ambitious, just happy all the time. Sing and dance [he repeated that several times] that's all she do."

She was a cheerleader, which isn't hard to imagine, but she had to make a decision to either get serious about her music career or continue as a cheerleader. So she decided to pursue music full time.

From there, you know what happened. She worked her butt off and became a big star with hits like Goodies and 1,2 step.

Ciara is about to release her fourth album titled 'Basic Instinct' in August.
