E-40 Speaks On Sacramento Incident, Where He Almost Had Notorious B.I.G. Killed [Audio Inside]

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


Audio After The Jump

Legendary Bay Area rapper E-40 spoke to All Out Radio recently about the events that almost led up to Notorious B.I.G. being killed in Sacramento, California during their beef.

Although the story has floated around for a while, this is the first time E-40 has gone into detail about the incident.

As the story goes, Biggie had dissed E-40 to a Canadian journalist rating his mic skills as a zero, also adding that he hated him. When Big went out to Sac-Town to do a show, E-40's boys caught up to him in the parking lot and pulled pistols ready to kill the Black Frank White.

The situation wasn't resolved until a phone call was arranged between Big and 40 to squash the beef before it turned deadly.

Floyd Mayweather Jr Holds Court: Calls Sugar Shane Mosley Is A "C-List" Fighter. Says Officer Rick Ross Is No Biggie Smalls, Disses Manny Pacquaio

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 1, 2010 at 4:30pm


(AllHipHop News) Floyd Mayweather and Sugar Shane Mosley will hit the Nasdaq tomorrow (March 2), where the two rivals will unite to ring the opening bell to promote their May 1st boxing match in Las Vegas.

The event is part of a tour the two boxers are on to promote their highly anticipated bout two months from today.

Mayweather recently checked in with AllHipHop.com, where he discussed a number of topics, ranging from the failed match with Manny Pacquiao, his decision to take on Sugar Shane Mosley and his former Hip-Hop rival with rapper Rick Ross.

Mayweather trashed Manny Pacquiao during the interview for not taking a “$25 million dollar” random blood, urine and drug tests.

“I felt that in today’s time, there’s too much cheating going on in all sports, I’m’ not just making a stand in boxing, I’m making a stand in all sports. It’s about being fair,” Mayweather told AllHipHop.com. “We got athletes that live in our own country that lie to American citizens about taking certain enhancing drugs. Manny is not even from this country, he doesn’t’ in this country. Imagine what he would tell the American people.”

Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) , who has one seven out of his last eight fights, had no issues with taking the tests and has agreed to the Olympic-style random blood testing.

During the interview with AllHipHop.com, Mayweather shot down Mosley’s comments that he was “stronger, faster and better” than Mayweather.

“I wouldn’t have chose the fight with Shane if it wasn’t a good fight, a solid fight. But I’m an A-lister, and Shane Mosely is a C-lister,” Mayweather told AllHipHop.com. “But when you involve yourself with the Mayweather brand, it takes you to the next level in the sport of boxing."

Outside of the ring, Mayweather and rapper Rick Ross squashed their growing feud, although the boxing champion took issue with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ proclamation that rapper Rick Ross was the next “Biggie Smalls.”

Ross, who is featured on Diddy and Dirty Money’s remix to “Angels,” has had a well documented feud with rapper 50 Cent, in addition to Floyd Mayweather.

The pair buried the hatchet last month, after a New Year’s celebration almost turned violent when their respective entourages clashed at a party hosted by Diddy at new nightclub, Vanity inside of the Hard Rock Hotel.

“I hear lately that Puff Daddy has been saying Rick Ross is the next Biggie Smalls. That’s not true," Mayweather told AllHipHop.com. "He’s a good artist but he’s not the next Biggie Smalls. There’s only one Biggie and there’s only one Pac. The thing is this, rap is story telling. It’s not true. If somebody had those many guns, done that much killing or sold that much work or hustled that much, or course they would be in prison."

Mayweather admitted that Rick Ross is a good Hip-Hop artist, but stated that he has no plans on supporting the rapper's releases.

"A lot of times people think I’ma downplay somebody because we may not get along or we may not see eye to eye," Mayweather told AllHipHop.com. "He’s had songs that’s been cool. I’m not saying that I’m a fan or I’m gonna go buy his album. The only thing I can say is Floyd Mayweather is in his lane. I stay in my lane and I want everyone else to stay in their lane. Period.”

Mayweather and Mosley will hit the road to promote their May 1st boxing match starting tomorrow (March 2nd) in New York.

Dates are listed below:

Tuesday, March 2: Nokia Theatre, Times Square, New York City
Wednesday, March 3: The Lincoln Theatre, Washington, D.C.
Thursday, March 4: Nokia Plaza's L.A. Live, Los Angeles

Method Man Apologizes to Waka Flocka Over Lyricism Debate

Posted by Mr.I Get It on March 1, 2010 at 3:39pm


(AllHipHop News) Wu-Tang veteran Method Man has issued an apology to Waka Flocka regarding their differing opinions on the value oflyrics in today’s Hip-Hop.



In an previous appearance on Shade 45’s All Out Show withRaekwon and Ghostace Killah, Method Man spoke on his disdain for subpar
lyrics in Hip-Hop music, specifically pointing out Waka Flocka after the
hosts made him aware that the Atlanta rapper stated intricate lyricism
is not needed in today’s climate.



“He has the right to his opinion. But the people that are in theknow and know what time it is, know that if you ain’t saying s**tout
your mouth, your time is very slim in this motherfucking game, b.”



Waka Flocka responded in an exclusive AllHipHop.com interviewthat he wouldn’t disrespect Method Man, and expressed disappointment an
artist he looked up to would attack him.



“I feel like he disrespected his own kid. I listened to you, Iseen you start, buddy. I seen you in the bus, hanging on the bars, I was
digging that with the one eye [in the “Bring the Pain” video.],” Flocka
explained. “They called Down South music pop, but Onyx wasn’t doing
crunk music to you, honest opinion? Wu-Tang was crunk music, crunk
aggressive music. Hip-Hop is supposed to have different angles.”



Method Man appeared again last Friday on the All Out Show, andcriticized the media for taking his point “out of context.”

Inaddition, Method Man clarified his personal feelings on Waka Flocka.


“[My statement] wasn’t about that man or what that man do. Itwas about the statement [Waka made],” Meth detailed. “I don’t even know
that man to feel any type of way about that man….Anybody trying to eat
legally and get their money the way I try to get mines, and ain’t never
gonna knock them, man. That’s the last time I say anything about any
fu**ing emcee or what they do. I’m going to keep my business to myself.”



“I appreciate that that man took the high road, I respect thatman for that because I was way out of context. I can honestly say that
because I didn’t know where the information came from, or how it was
stated. But from the input that I got, his s**twas taken out of context
when he made that statement.”



Method Man is making promotional rounds in preparation for aMarch 30 collaboration LP with Raekwon and Ghostface entitled Wu-Massacre.

Thealbum will feature productionfrom The RZA, Scram Jones, and Mathematics.



Waka Flocka Flame’s debut project Murda Man Flocka isexpected to drop this year.

The first single, “O Let’s Do It,”was released in December.

Ne-Yo Detained In Norway After Fight Involving His Entourage

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 1, 2010 at 11:11am


Ne-Yo ran into a little bit of trouble over the weekend in Oslo, Norway.

According to various reports, Ne-Yo and his crew were having dinner at Emil & Samuel following a concert. The group was having a good time drinking and partying when a patron at the restaurant grabbed a female in the entourage.

That's when things spiraled out of control. A bus boy somehow also became involved after walking over. He was allegedly knocked unconscious after being punched in the face by an unknown person in the crew.

Ne-Yo did not throw a punch or get involved in the scuffle.

After leaving the restaurant, Ne-yo and his associates were detained and searched by Oslo police.

"All in all this is an unfortunate situation involving the artist, Emil & Samuel and the concert management," said the owner of Emil & Samuel.

Expect a lawsuit or two to pop up in the near future.

Prison Guard Breaks Down What Lil Wayne Can Expect In Jail. Rapper Begins One Year Sentence Tomorrow [Video Inside]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 1, 2010 at 7:30am


Video After The Jump

Now that Lil Wayne's teeth are in order, the superstar MC is expected once again to turn himself in to authorities, this time on Tuesday, to finally begin his one-year prison sentence stemming from a 2007 arrest on gun charges.

The rapper will be formally sentenced in a Manhattan courtroom by Judge Charles H. Solomon after last month's postponement due to Wayne's dental surgery. Wayne is scheduled to enter his plea, and authorities will then whisk him away for processing at New York's Rikers Island.


There, Weezy's world will be unlike anything he's experienced before in his life.

According to a prison guard who spoke with MTV News, the Cash Money lyricist's hectic life of recording, touring and performing will be replaced by a regimented routine that features wakeup calls at 4 a.m. and dinner at 3 p.m. The guard, who declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information, said Wayne should be treated like a regular inmate for the most part, obvious safety concerns aside.

"He'll be housed with inmates who are classified in his category, and he'll be able to be a regular inmate," the guard said. "He'll be able to watch television, go into the day room and congregate with people of his classification."

Wayne's classification, however, will most likely be decided based in part on his fame, the guard said. The guard also suggested Wayne would be placed in the Eric M. Taylor Center at Rikers, on the north side of the facility in East Elmhurst, New York.

"It's a high-class area where he will be segregated from [the general] population," the guard explained.

The rapper, though, won't be in a dormitory setting, as a retired corrections officer told MTV News last month. He'll likely have his own 10-by-15-foot cell with a toilet, sink, bed and one window. "He'll be able to see another wall [outside the window]," the guard said.

Wayne also will not be able to make many of his own decisions during his incarceration, including what recreation he participates in and the option to work. "He probably won't be assigned a job, just to keep things quiet," the guard said, alluding to the rapper's safety and the overall safety of the unit he's placed in.

When Wayne graced the cover of Rolling Stone recently, he said he would bring an iPod loaded with music he could write to; the guard, however, emphasized that an mp3 player would be classified as contraband, meaning the rapper would not be permitted to have one.

Weezy will have plenty of downtime, though, of which he can choose how he passes the time. In between the rapper's 4 a.m. wakeup calls for breakfast, 11 a.m. lunchtimes, 3 p.m. dinners and evening lights out, he has a number of options. He's allowed to receive two visits per week, which can be any day of the week or weekends at various times.

With his commissary money, he can purchase a transistor radio. It's unlikely that he'll visit the law library, as he has no appeal to make for his case; he's widely expected to be released after eight months if he serves with good behavior. If he wishes to participate in religious activity, he can be excused to visit the places of worship within the prison.

Throughout Wayne's sentence, he'll have an intermittent amount of time to interact with fellow inmates. According to the guard, that decision is one that is made by the governing officers of the facility to keep things orderly. For the most part, Wayne will be isolated and treated like any other numbered prisoner at Rikers Island.

"He'll have no preferable treatment at all. He'll be treated like a regular inmate," the guard said, with one added caveat: "He may have heightened security. A guard will walk with him when he moves from location to location."

Lloyd Banks Speaks On New Album & 'V5' Mixtape, Says 'V6' Is Coming Soon [Video Inside]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 1, 2010 at 7:00am


Video After The Jump

This Week's Main Pick

Street Kings: Lloyd Banks and DJ Whoo Kid

Holding It Down For: G-Unit

Mixtape: V5


Real Spit: Two days before we were originally supposed to shoot the Lloyd Banks Mixtape Daily segment, the G-Unit rapper was arrested in Canada on assault charges. While waiting on his trial, Banks has bounced back with the hit single "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" with Juelz Santana.


The entire G-Unit is currently on a two-month European tour, but their youngest member left a gift for the streets on the Net. Yes, we got Banks in front of the cameras to perform a record from the mixtape for the first time.

Banks started his latest round of mixtape rampaging toward the end of 2008. The onetime Mixtape Artist of the Year at the Justo Awards said he had to get his spot back.

"Just reflecting back in the studio," Banks said of his underground assault. "Just going back. People always say, 'Go back to your first album,' I went back further than that. All the success came from [my early mixtapes] Money in the Bank, Money in the Bank Part 2 all the way to Part 4. I was like, 'You know what? I did that in a matter of two years.' I said, 'I'mma do what I did in two years in one.' I did Return of the P.L.K.; that came out in September [2008]. I went from that to Halloween Havoc; it came out in Halloween. Cold Corner came out in December [2008]. Then it was 4-30-82 [last spring]. Then V5 [in December].

"By the time I got to V5, it was a good five or six months between tapes," he added. "I didn't plan it like that. I just never stopped recording and touring. By the time V5 came, I felt a little pressure. I told them it was gonna get better every time. I think people embraced it."

Banks' official album is due later this year. It will come out independently.

"I'm aiming towards summer," Lloyd said of the release. "Mid-summer, late summer. I won't drop an album until I feel the buzz. You know, as an artist, when you feel it. I'm working independent. Everything they've heard the past year has come out my basement, including 'Beamer, Benz or Bentley.' When you first come on as a new artist and you hot and you got a buzz, you could sell doo-doo on a stick. The label makes you feel like they did it, when they just called their boy and dropped the record off.

"Now it boost my confidence when I know I can make a record in my crib, send it out and receive finances from it," he added. "Whenever it's through iTunes or whatever other outlet you have, I'm happy with it. I'm not gonna rush it, though. If it came out after this year, it wouldn't matter to me, as long as it's the product people expect."

Joints to Check For

» "Power Back" "I was in the zone when I wrote that record," Banks described. "It was actually a typo [on the track listing]. It was supposed to be 'Power Pack.' You know what the power pack is, people. That's the vein I was in. I was reflecting. It was real rap. It wasn't about having the best punch line. I wrote the record for me, and it was real things said in it. I really had a homie that was well on his way as far as basketball goes. He went to college, and somebody slipped him something [in his drink]. He ain't been the same ever since. It was more a record for me and the people I grew up around. Every city has something that reminds you of yours. I like tracks with music," he added about the soulful soundscape. "Tracks with things going on."

» "Rather Be Me." "My record is gonna sound like that. How it's put together from top to bottom and ends like a movie," the Punch Line King said. "That's the route I wanna take my album. 'Rather Be Me,' is a deep record. It's one of the joints. I didn't let nobody hear it when I was recording it. I was in the zone. It felt like a movie to me. It's crazy, because a lot of people think I'm talking to somebody in particular, but it's not. It's talking to anybody that's a coward. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. When you hear the little funny things like, 'Banks doesn't want to be G-Unit.' N---a, I am G-Unit. This [tattoo] been right here on my hand. Before anybody was signed, it was me, Tony Yayo and 50 Cent. To take that away from me is like taking away my legacy, to a certain extent. We worked too hard for somebody to tell me to drop my G-Unit."

» "We Remain." " 'Chronic, Fiji and a brand-new Lamborghini. When you see me, it's a half a mill easy,' " Banks raps. "Rap needs me. That was me just going. It was a record that wasn't necessarily recorded for the mixtape. I felt I needed that, where it was a full, long verse, a bridge. That's as gutter as it gets. That's one of the first songs I recorded for V5. It set the tone. The 'Green Day' record, 'Southside in the House,' all those records were spawned from that record. It's just dark, man. You could see yourself in your neighborhood, and it's me reflecting. I still come back to this neighborhood where my friends still stay. To go from success to being doubted to having success all over again, I feel like the underdog and that the streets are behind me."

Lil Wayne Speaks On Shooting 7 Videos In One Day "Imma Show Yall The Work Ethic Of A True Artist"

Nino Brown: The Road to Rikers, Part 2

On Saturday night, Lil Wayne and DJ Scoob Doo sent in a video clip featuring footage they shot that afternoon. Among other things, Wayne said it was time to party before he begins his expected one-year prison term at New York's Rikers Island
.


But in fact he was doing the exact opposite. Wayne was back at work, filming several more music videos before his sentencing on gun charges on Tuesday.

"I'm shooting seven videos today," Wayne said in an exclusive new clip, shot in his trailer on the Miami video set.

One of the videos of the night was for the Rebirth track "Runnin'."

"I'mma show y'all the [work] ethic of a true artist," Wayne says in the clip. "You know what I'm talkin' about? Seven videos. I shot 10 in two days before. Now we about to do seven in one night. ['Runnin' '] was one. Next we about to do Drake's song called 'Afrika Boombatta.' "

The New Orleans Fireman then began mulling over his wardrobe for Drake's shoot. He was deciding between one of his brand-new tees promoting his Twitter account, @liltunechi, or a funky interpretation of deceased legend Marilyn Monroe.

"Gotta wear one of my @liltunechi shirts on there," Wayne said. " 'Cause that song is a fun song. So I could wear that. Then again it's Drake, so you might wanna get a little fly for his sh--."

Wayne then pulled out a T-shirt featuring Monroe with tattoos all over her arm.

"Yeah, that's stupid," the Birdman Jr. said of the Monroe shirt. "I might have to rock that."

This latest clip of Wayne starts with the acclaimed performer showing off all the BET Hip-Hop Awards in his house. Later he says he needs more VMAs.

"I got a house full of BET Awards," Wayne said with a grin. "I got one MTV award. MTV, holla atcha boy now. I'm not gonna mess up your function. I'm just gonna come get my award, thank God, thank my 'hood, thank my fam. I ain't gotta perform.

"Give me an award for nothin'," he continued with a chuckle. " 'The award for nothin' goes to Lil Wayne.' That's all I need. MTV award for nothin', man."

Wayne and DJ Scoob Doo are also filming the reality DVD "The Nino Brown Story Part 3." The first two installments are available at DJ Scoob Doo's Web site.

Check back with MTV News for more of Wayne's "Road to Rikers."
