Interview And New Song After The Jump

Drake said he wasn't upset when he heard that Sade — an artist he had wanted to collaborate with on his upcoming Thank Me Later debut — said she's not into guest-starring on anyone's project.

"I don't think they have contacted me," Sade, 51, told Canada's National Post last month. "I've never collaborated because I've always avoided working outside my safety zone — I can be exactly who I am and can fail or succeed within the moment. I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn't want to work in a situation where I am expected to deliver, because I think I wouldn't deliver."


Drake said he might not get with her this time, but maybe on a future album.

"That's great. Her brand is always protected. That's why," Drake said of her comments on the set of his "Over" video last week in California. "Other people's visuals, other people's songs, stepping outside your zone can jeopardize your brand. It can bring you down as opposed to bring you up. I personally feel we could have done something amazing. But I don't think she really knows who I am, really, my genre of music. I put it out there. It was more of a hopeful thing. It was a very early stage where I was at when I said that I was hoping. One day. Maybe after this album comes out.

"I'm very influenced by her," he added. "She does something that I do. She doesn't do too much with harmonies, and she keeps her vocals very clean. Single vocals. Haunting melodies. I'm influenced by her a lot. One day."

Video After The Jump


Long before Kendra Wilkinson entered the spotlight and became known as a bubbly blond Playboy model, she experienced some troubled times as a teenager.

In the new "E! True Hollywood Story" about the reality star, Wilkinson admits dabbling in drugs and self-mutilating during her short 24 years of life.

She said she was "about 13" when she had her first experience with cocaine after her friends introduced her to "this white stuff."

"I started feeling pretty good," Wilkinson said. "That was the start of my drug days."

By the time she was 15, Wilkinson was abusing drugs and was at one point "feeling suicidal" and "cutting myself."

"I had so much pain that I just wanted to die," she revealed. "It wasn't that I was trying to die, it was that the pain took away from my pain inside."

After Wilkinson admitted swallowing a "half-dozen or so medications" while at school, her mother, Patti, checked her into a secured psychiatric facility for two weeks.

"It was crazy in that place," the reality star told "THS." "We didn't see daylight. We weren't allowed outside. It was basically a jail, but it was a hospital."

Despite her family members being "scared to death," Wilkinson said the hospitalization "did not change me at all."

"I think it made me worse because in my heart I didn't want to change," she said. "People were forcing me, and that's something that does not work with me."

Wilkinson credits an instance when she almost died from a cocaine overdose as the moment that made her realize she needed to get her life together.

"I was bleeding from every hole in my body and I really thought I was going to die that night," she said. "But you know what, I survived, and I swear it was a couple of days after that that I had an epiphany. I just stopped drugs, stopped smoking cigarettes, stopped everything, and went home."

Admitting that her "devil years" were "very selfish," Wilkinson's attempt to repair her damaged relationship with her family took time.

"My mom did not take me back with open arms," she said. "I basically had to get on my knees and beg. I looked in her eyes [and said] 'I swear on my life, I am done.'"

Kendra & Husband Hank Baskett


After getting involved in sports and working a part-time job, the reformed teen found her way working at the Playboy mansion, where she ultimately met future boyfriend Hugh Hefner.

Now married to NFL star Hank Baskett and caring for their 3-month-old son, Hank IV, Wilkinson told E! Online that she's just "enjoying time" with her new family.

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

On Tuesday, we slid you the exclusive gem that Gucci Mane is putting out a mixtape album on April 13. While Gucci is in jail now for a probation violation, we have his main accomplice in all this, DJ Holiday, to let us in on the odds and ends.


"It's the warm-up before Writing's on the Wall 2," Holiday said of The BurrrPrint 2HD. "I talk to him every other day. His spirit is up. He's 1,000. He called me to get an update of what's going on in the city. My tapes is crazy. Waka is the hottest thing out here. Nicki is on fire. He was like, 'You think they miss our tapes?' I was like, 'Hell yeah.' He said, 'Let's do something. [But] you know I can't move like I want to.' I said, 'Let's knock it out on some over-the-phone sh--.'

"They gonna really f--- with the mixtape, because he's really rapping on the tape from the phone," Holiday continued. "We matched up a beat with Drumma Boy, and [Gucci] rapped on it. But he rapped a cappella over the phone, and we matched up the beat to it in the studio. It's f---ing bananas. I thought it was creative. You know how Shyne was locked up and you'd get a freestyle from the phone? I said, 'Let's take it another step.' We recorded him rapping on the phone in the mic ... and went from there. Then we matched it with the beat Drumma Boy made. It came out crazy, and it sounds good too."

"New Gucci Mane mixtape is going to be crazy!!!" Drumma Boy said. "Gucci kept tellin' me how much of an impact he wanted to make with this mixtape, and with him being incarcerated, we had to be very creative in how we got this done. One of my favorite records and most difficult records that I've ever produced was BurrrPrint 2 off the mixtape. He called me one day I was in the studio making beats, and he told me he had written some new verses and wanted me to hear them. So I stopped doing what I was doing to listen. After five seconds of listening, I was like, 'Stop. I'mma record you while you rap through the phone.' I recorded his verses but later realized that there was no consistent tempo. This means I had to chop up each word for word to punch into tempo, which took me about five to six hours. After I had lined up his verses, I then began to add music around the verses, structure the build, and then create a hook that matched the intensity of his verses. Overall, I spent a good two days producing that record, and it's a great feeling to see people's reactions after them finding out I produced the record of Gucci Mane through the phone."

The other records on BP2HD are unreleased records Gucci had in the stash.

"Anybody who knows Gucci, they know his work ethic in that studio is ridiculous," Holiday said. "I got 10 songs in one damn day. All brand-new records, bruh. Maybe one record you might know. Everything else is brand-new. One song is with Ludacris called 'Atlanta Is a Zoo.' It's a club banger. One song is crazy with Jim Jones. He's got another one with Rick Ross and Yo Gotti. Heavy features on there. It's a mixtape album. The label [Asylum] is going all out with it."

Shawty Redd and Fat Boi are among those who contributed tracks. Drumma Boy handled most of the production.

Gucci's camp is hoping BurrrPrint 2HD will tide fans over until Mr. LaFlare gets home. As soon as Gucci comes home from jail, he plans to record the sequel to his mixtape The Writing's on the Wall and later put out his album (The State vs. Radric Davis: The Appeal). DJ Holiday's next mixtape is Waka Flocka Flame's Flockaveli. Holiday's debut album will be released later this year and called either The Tape or We Working.

West Coast Don Ice Cube is preparing to drop his new album titled 'I Am The West' July 13.

While he's been away, a few of the younger rappers from the left coast started talking and have awakened a sleeping giant.

Cats like Bishop Lamont, Glasses Malone, Crooked I and others criticized Cube for not supporting the "New West" movement

Cube addresses all drama in his most recent blog

"What's up with these local MC's in L.A. who keep disrespecting me? They're just mad cause I don't f*ck with they wack-a**. They ain't on my level, why should I waste my time. I don't even remember ever meeting these clowns or even being in the same room with any of 'em. They can't make a name for themselves so they need help from the O/G's. I refuse the throw'em a life line. F*ck'em. It ain't my job to make nobody famous. And for the record, I ain't scared of no n*gga. Especially, no rappers....seriously people."

Jay Rock fired back at Ice Cube directly via his Twitter.

"WATTS UP WIT ICE CUBE TALKIN KRAZY ABOUT NEW WEST n***as.IF HE GOT A PROB WIT 1 OF US HE SHUD SAY R NAME N STOP BN SCARED 2 CALL A N***A OUT

ON SOME REAL STUFF I AINT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH CUBE OR NONE OF THE OG n***as. BUT IF HE SAY NEW WEST IM APART OF THAT

TO ME HE TALKIN BOUT ALL OF US IF HE DIDNT SAY A NAME. THATS HOW THE WEST GOT FUCKED UP IN THE FIRST PLACE

YALL KNOW AINT NO N***A STAMPED ME. I DONT NEED NO N***A. ALL I NEED IS A MIC MY HOOD MY FANS AND THIS BIG A$$ GUN
"

Ice Cube also directed a shot at former partner in rhyme Mack 10.

"Me and Mack 10 together again? I never say never, but he has to kiss the ring first."

Damn, Cube aint playing around, We all know what he can do in a lyrical battle. This could get really interesting so stay tuned.

Dame Dash's name will forever be linked with Jay-Z and the Roc-A-Fella empire they built together.

Since the break up Jigga has become and even bigger name in Hip Hop while people have speculated about what Dame is up to.

The Harlem kid who made it big talked with Good Day NY's Julie Chang recently about what's really going on with him.

Dame revealed he's working with two artists/groups currently, Black Rok and Curren$y. He's also opened an art gallery and is starting a new clothing line called CEO.

"Whoever to me isn't going through any financial problems is cheating because the economy cracked"

NASHVILLE, TN (CNN) - A Tennessee man claimed a sheriff's deputy ripped a gold grill out of his mouth before snapping his mug shot. The problem is the grill was permanently attached to the man's teeth. Now, the man is set to collect $95,000 over the incident.

"There's the grill," said David Raybin, Anthony McCoy's attorney. "It's upside down. If it were in his mouth it would be like this."

The decorative grill used to be attached to Anthony McCoy's teeth with dental cement.

"And then it took part of the teeth with it," said Raybin.

But last November, Davidson County Sheriff's Lieutenant Tanya Mayhew changed that when she decided the grill didn't belong in McCoy's mugshot.

"He put his head back, she put on her gloves, put her fingers on his teeth and yanked as hard as she could," said Raybin. "[She] pulled the grill out and along with that the enamel off several of his teeth. He started spitting blood and teeth and tissue. They gave him a trash can and said spit into that and get back in line."

Raybin says McCoy, who had been arrested for failing to pay child support, stayed in jail 10 painful days before receiving medical treatment.

"Anyone can be arrested at anytime... but no one deserves to be treated this way," said Raybin.

Rabin reached a settlement with Metro attorneys; McCoy will get $75,000 from the city, and $20,000 from Correct Care Solutions, which provides medical care at the jail.

"This man was a human being," said Raybin. "He had dignity and he has rights."

"My understanding is this is a violation of a number of sheriff department policies," said Ronnie Steine, a Metro Council Member.

The Metro Council will likely approve the settlement at its meeting Tuesday evening.

"Clearly, no, we would not want to spend our money this way," said Steine. "This is an egregious act on both a human and a financial level."

Raybin says a big chunk of the settlement will go towards having McCoy's teeth fixed. Some of the money will also be used to catch up on his child support payments

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – The Black Eyed Peas, Shakira and Alicia Keys will be among scores of music stars performing at a concert on the eve of the soccer World Cup in South Africa, organizers said on Wednesday. The concert in South Africa's biggest black township Soweto will be on June 10, a day before the start of the month-long World Cup, which is being hosted for the first time in Africa.

The concert in the 30,000-capacity stadium will be broadcast live to millions of people across the world.

"We are thrilled to have a concert of such magnitude and performing talent raise the curtain on the first FIFA World Cup in Africa. It is testament to the universal and unifying power of football and music, and will start the competition off on the right note -- of celebration," FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke said in a statement. Among other performers at the concert will be African musicians including Benin-born diva Angelique Kidjo, Amadou and Mariam from Mali, South African group the Parlotones and Tuareg desert blues band Tinariwen.

Net proceeds from the concert will go to 20 Centres for 2010, FIFA's official social campaign for the World Cup -- aimed at achieving positive change in Africa through football.

The campaign aims to build 20 centers across the continent offering healthcare services, education and soccer training for disadvantaged communities.

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana have perhaps the biggest record in New York City right now with "Beamer, Benz or Bentley." Santana recently told us about the next shout-out to the Big Apple — he's lined up some of NYC's finest for a track from his upcoming The Reagan Era mixtape.



"We got another record for the mixtape," Juelz explained of how he and Banks plan to follow up their current smash. "That record's actually got me, Fabolous, Jadakiss and Banks on it. ... We took the Estelle sample from 'American Boy' that goes 'Take me to New York' and kept repeating that. I sent it to everybody that I felt [could kill it], which was me, Fab, Banks and Jada. But me and Banks gonna have to do another one together with just me and him. That record is crazy. That Reagan Era is gonna be a problem — that's why I been taking my time strategically building up. I think now is a better time. Every day I'm drawing more attention to myself."

While Juelz has the video for his record with Lil Wayne "Home Run" — also off of The Reagan Era — coming soon, he's still excited about "Beamer, Benz or Bentley."

"I knew what that song was gonna be when we did the record," Juelz said about his duet with Banks. "The beat is so unique, then you got two artists that's never done a record before. And it's a record that people would like to hear. It's a 'hood record and we was both spitting on there — you rarely get that anymore, especially with two artists like me and Banks. A lot of time people teaming up and they just making records because the names sound good. But the records don't sound good because they either rushed or n---as just getting up just to get up. You know how they say when two artists get together and make a song how it is supposed to be? It completes everything we do. It's radio, but it's still hard. 'Beamer, Benz or Bentley,' that's still 'hood rich. It captures the essence that people would have liked for it to have with me and Banks on the same record."
