Video After The Jump

Veteran rhyme slinger Jadakiss sat down with Cosmic Kev and chopped it up about a few up and coming rappers in the game and what D-Block has lined up.

Kiss explained why he likes to work with young artists like Meek Mill, Joey Jihad and French Montana.

" I mean me being one of the major dudes in New York as far as respected lyrically, I like to help the dudes on the come up like Joey Jihad cause he's nice," Kiss said. "And I like to help them type of artists cause they can't always reach the Hov's, the Nas', the Kanye's. They can't reach some of the artists to get where they need to be and I went through that same thing. So I always embrace the French Montana's, Joey Jihad, all the dudes that's hungry, Meek Mill, all of them dudes on the come up thats nice. I try to show them love early before they pop and everybody jump on the bandwagon."

Jada says D-Block got the cannons cocked and loaded so don't think they're slacking.

"The Champ Is Here Pt 3, I haven't been quiet at all, 500 and something (thousand) dowloads on the internet. Me and SP [Styles] got an EP coming out, 'In and Out'. You know how we do with that, just break some more bread and put another wing on the house. I got the 'Top 5 Dead Or Alive' coming right after that. Donnie G, Don Gorilla just signed with Def Jam so that's another wing on the house."

Video After The Jump


Kanye West just released the video for "Coldest Winter" off his latest album '808's and Heartbreaks'

Yeezy doesn't make an appearance in the video. Instead we see a woman running through the darkness from the Grim Reaper.

Not sure what the song and video have in common, but hey it's a music video. I guess it doesn't have to make sense.

Video was directed by Nabil Elderkin

Since he first dropped his debut album in 1996, Jay-Z became an instant classic on the hip-hop scene. Now that he is about to drop his 11th album The Blueprint 3, MTV News takes a look back at the history of one of the greatest artists in rap history with "The J to Z of Jay-Z." For years, Jay-Z has been a heavily sought-after collaborator and power broker, the kind of guy who can turn a simply good song into a smash with a 16-bar freestyle and a quick endorsement. So, it's strange to think that there was a time when Jigga was just another kid trying to score a record deal, and fighting an uphill battle to do so. "I went to every single record label, and they was like, 'This guy is terrible. He's nothing,' " Jay told MTV News prior to the release of The Blueprint in 2001. "I had to put [Reasonable Doubt] out myself, because nobody would sign me." That was back in 1996, when Roc-A-Fella records was born, not out of entrepreneurial expansion but, as Hova made clear, out of necessity. "I would press up singles and go to the record stores myself, collect $100, $200, come back, give them some more records," he recalled. "It started like that." Jay wasn't embittered by his struggle, though. If anything, it gave him a sharper perspective on the music business. "It made me appreciate it so much more," he said. "No one gave me anything. They didn't give me a record deal. I really just took my time and grew it step by step by step by step. I could have easily been like, 'Maybe what I'm talking about ain't right! Nobody wants to sign me!' That would have stopped the suffering. But I didn't." He was right to stick to his guns, as the self-released Reasonable Doubt became an instant classic and earned him a much-deserved distribution deal with Def Jam in 1997, followed by a steady stream of hits, milestones and a place in history.

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
