2010 CONVENTION RECAP
'I had a great time being on the panel at the Coast 2 Coast Convention. I was able to discuss the state of the music industry with a group of passionate people who, like myself, are already established in the industry as well as others who are trying to break into the industry. And I got to catch up with folks I have not seen in a minute. Good times in Miami in 2010....can't wait to see what is in store for 2011!'
- Jill Strada (Music Director & Assistant PD of HOT97 NY)
'I was very honored to be a part of the Coast 2 Coast mixtape convention last year. The who's who of the industry were hands on in educating anyone and everyone who was in attendance. There are many convention but Coast 2 Coast's is the one I would strongly recommend to anyone seeking knowledge about the industry. They are not the leading mixtape distributors for nothing.'
- Deborah Rigaud (Director, Business & Legal Affairs | E1 Music)
'The 2010 Coast2Coast Convention was epic! If you missed it i feel sorry for you. From the informative panels, intense showcases to the nightlife at the clubs, the whole experience was super dope!'
- Mike Trampe (HipHopDX.com & Maad Management)

A few weeks ago we reported that Dave Chappelle was booed off stage at a charity event in Miami.
There were reports that hecklers had gotten the best of the comedian, causing him to simply shut his act down, refusing to tell any jokes.
For the first time Dave is speaking out publicly about the incident and why things went so awry.
"Ok look this happened to me twice in my career," Dave said. "The one you read about in Florida. The other time it actually happened in Oakland. This happened years ago -- I was doing a show with Cedric The Entertainer. I thought the show was going good. And someone kept screaming 'shut the f*ck up' from the back of the room. Then finally I said 'hey I only got 10 more minutes. If that's what you want I'm here for you and that's the show you will get.' And I actually laid down on stage and didn't say a word. First the crowd was confused. Then they started booing But the longer I sat there it became like a standing ovation."
Dave goes on to try and explain what happened in Miami in July.
"Ok in Florida I don't know what happened," he joked. "I'm just kidding -- someone said I melted down or had a nervous breakdown, I wasn't nervous at all. The thing is it was an Indian casino and I felt like they were trying to get a reverse Kramer shot on me. First of all when I come out on stage everybody pulls their cameras out, which is cool for like the first few minutes. Then the whole front row started heckling me and apparently they were the Seminole Indians whose casino it was. So security didn't want to tell them to be quiet. And you can imagine trying to talk to someone. And they're talking while you're talking and holding a camera."

PETA (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has gotten another celebrity to pose sans clothes for one of their ads.
This particular celebrity happens to be Brooke Hogan, the 23-year old daughter of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.
The photo is already causing controversy. There have been strange rumors that Brooke and her father are involved in twisted relationship. Brooke got so fed up with the gossip and controversy she addressed it via Twitter.
For his part, the elder Hogan seems to be embarrassed by the whole thing. His daughter is a grown woman, but what dad wants to see their daughter half naked on posters everywhere?
Check the pics below and let us know what you think.

A couple of weeks ago Drake talked about how much he missed Nicki Minaj, since they both became stars. The two reunited, at least for a day Saturday (August 13) during Britney Spears' Femme Fatale tour stop in Toronto.
Minaj brought Drizzy out and treated him to a lap dance. The duo also performed "Moment For Life."

50 Cent has released tons of classic material on both studio albums and mixtapes. Everybody has a favorite. One album that stands out in my opinion is 'The Massacre.'
The cd gave you the perfect blend of radio friendly tunes like "Candy Shop" and "Just A Lil Bit." At the same time you had street tales like "Baltimore Love Thing," "This Is 50," and "Gunz Come Out."
The cd dropped in March 2005. In September of that same year a deluxe edition was released. Included with it was a dvd with all of the album's songs in video format. It's the first time that had ever been done, and it gave fans the rare chance to get visuals for songs they never would have.
The album was released several days early to prevent leakage, yet it still managed to sell 1.14 million copies the 1st week.
So which song/video was your favorite from the album?
"In My Hood" Produced By Bang Out
"This Is 50" Prod. By Sha Money XL
"I'm Supposed To Die Tonight" Prod. By Eminem
"Piggy Bank" Prod. By Needlz

Back in May, Osama bin Laden's ex-mistress Kola Boof, fired shots at Wale for not using black women in his videos. Yesterday (August 12) the rapper found himself in the middle of another twitter war with a woman as he and video vixen Rosa Acosta argued.
Apparently this all started while Rosa was hosting a Heineken Red Star Access event in Philadelphia. After she introduced Wale, the rapper had some issues getting through the crowd.
Rosa then tweeted :
“@Wale went into the crowd and some security had to save him #CreativeIdeaFail #RedStarAccess,” she wrote.
For whatever reason that set Wale off. He later he attacked Acosta via Twitter. Check out the exchange below.

Ever since Slaughterhouse's signing to Eminem's Shady Records, the world has patiently waited for some new material from the foursome.
In a conversation with MTV's Sway, Royce Da 5'9 said that he Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Crooked I are hard at work on new material that could see the light of day by the end of the year.
"We're actually going to Atlanta on Thursday [August 11]," Royce said. "All the guys, we're all getting together and going in with some heavy-hitting producers. Hopefully, we'll have a single out by the end of the year, if not the album."
Royce declined to rap live, saying the internet has gotten so accessible that he didn't want to make Eminem mad by spitting lyrics from the Slaughterhouse, because those were the only one he had memorized. But Sway made it be known to any other rapper that shows on up RapFix they better be prepared to drop a few bars.

Jennifer Hudson allowed herself to be sucked into a twitter beef with a fan on Thursday. It got really nasty between Hudson and a fan who accused the singer's husband David Otunga. of being gay and said Hudson is starving herself to achieve her new slim figure.
Hudson replied by threatening to put her hands on the fan.
"Watch what u say," Hudson wrote. "Cuz I might have to buy a plane/flight n come show u some of my southside then come back to where you're not!"
Yesterday, Hudson stopped by radio station WGCI to speaks about the twitter beef, rumors of her husband being gay and that she's used liposuction to lose weight.
“Somewhere along the way people forgot that I am from Chicago but it’s not even that," Hudson the Morning Riot crew. "To me, when you know it’s me on there, because I sit and I talk to my fans all the time, so you know you're talking to me. And I feel as though don’t say nothing to me on Twitter that you're not gonna say in my face in person. Somewhere along the lines people think they can just talk to celebrities any kind of way, we're people too and just the same you want your respect, we want ours."
Hudson also denied ever having any plastic surgery.
"That’s another reason why I got frustrated is because I’m out here trying to put out a positive message, I know I’ve done this naturally and I don’t appreciate you undoing what I’ve done and trying to make it negative,’ Hudson said.

Shaquille O'Neal is a big mixed martial arts fan and has done some training in the sport.
Big Shaq was a recent guest on HDNetFights and named the top five NBA players he would like to get in the Octagon with.
The only current player Shaq said could possibly make the list is Ron Artest. Other than that he went all old school tough guys. Naming Danny Ainge, Xavier McDaniel, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Charles Oakley.
Big Shaq is 7'1, 340 plus pounds. Not too many people would want to scrap with him, but I would pay to see him and Karl Malone at it, lol.

As stupid as this looks, I have to admit it's a step up from owling and planking.
Horsemanning is the latest photo-posing craze to sweep the net.
"The objective of horsemanning is to make it appear that the photo’s subject has been beheaded; a head detached from a body like the Headless Horseman. Horsemanning requires two individuals, one laying with their head back and hidden and the other exposing only their head in the picture. If done correctly, horsemanning produces a brilliant optical illusion and allows for more creativity than other photo-posing fads like planking."
Check out some photos of this latest craze below.
