T.I. Compares New Album 'King Uncaged' To 2Pac's 'All Eyez On Me'. Says He Wants To Surpass Pac's Classic

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 16, 2010 at 12:30pm


T.I. is setting the bar high for his post-prison album, King Uncaged, comparing it to Tupac’s 1996 classic All Eyez on Me, which was released months after ‘Pac got out of prison. “This is the most significant return from incarceration that the game has had since then,” T.I. says. “Just given the enormous success of that project, everyone’s expecting the same results. I just want to meet the expectations, if not surpass them.”

The Atlanta MC says he didn’t get much work done while serving 10 months in Federal penitentiary in Arkansas on weapons charges (”I didn’t have a lot of time by myself just to think,” he says), but he got cracking on the day he was released to a halfway house in January, recording the defiant single, “I’m Back.”

He’s been on a creative tear since, recording more than 60 songs for the album, due out in August, working with the producers who have crafted his biggest hits, including Jim Jonsin, who made the beat for Paper Trail Number One hit “Whatever You Like,” Danja (”No Matter What”), and DJ Toomp (”What You Know”).

“Some songs talk about my time in prison — how I was affected by that, the way I’ve grown from that, things I see now that I may have not seen then,” says T.I. “Sometimes I talk about love, some songs I talk about life, some songs I talk about me being the shit on every level.”

No songs will talk about T.I. carrying a gun. “Regardless of what may happen, what circumstances may present themselves, how extreme they may be, I will not be the one carrying firearms,” says the MC, who was arrested in 2007 for trying to buy a small arsenal of weapons, including machine guns. He has said he was buying guns in a misguided attempt to protect himself after his best friend Philant Johnson was killed.

T.I. considers the new album the last chapter in a trilogy that began with 2007’s T.I. vs. T.I.P. and continued with Paper Trail, which was the eighth best-selling album of 2008. “If it was a film, the opening act would be the night that Phil got shot, and all the emotions and the sentiments that led to T.I. Vs. T.I.P.,” he says. ”From there, the schizophrenia of it all led to an unfortunate chain of events that left me incarcerated with federal weapons charges, which inspired Paper Trail, and now, people are waiting to hear the end of the story.”

Federal Judge Dismisses Wrongful Death Suit Filed By Notorious B.I.G's Mother Which Blamed LAPD For His Murder

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 16, 2010 at 12:15pm


(AllHipHop News) A federal has judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the mother of the later rapper Notorious B.I.G., which blamed the city of Los Angeles and the LAPD for her son’s death.

On Monday April 5th, Judge Jacqueline Nguyen dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice, after an eight-year wrongful death lawsuit in federal court.

Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was gunned down in March of 1997, after attending an after party during the Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles.

Although it has never been proven, the wrongful death lawsuit claimed that Marion “Suge” Knight conspired with Amir Muhammad, the alleged triggerman and LAPD officers Rafael Perez and David Mack, to murder Notorious B.I.G.

B.I.G. had been feuding with Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down on the Las Vegas strip six months earlier, in September of 1996.

In March of 2006, U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ruled in favor of B.I.G., awarding the family a $1.1 million dollar judgment against the city.

In May of 2006, Judge Cooper dismissed the previous ruling in the case, after discovering the family had information they told the court they did not have access to.

In June of 2006, the city of Los Angeles claimed B.I.G.‘s attorneys went to “absurd lengths” to "satisfy their ambition to extract hundreds of millions of dollars from the city.”

Jay-Z To Perform On Saturday Night Live May 8, Betty White To Host

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 16, 2010 at 11:30am


Fans are eager to see Betty White host "Saturday Night Live" on May 8, and now it seems that comedy's most favorite OG will be joined by hip-hop's biggest star: Jay-Z has been tapped as the musical guest for the show's May 8 episode, according to multiple sources.

Both will appear on the Mother's Day episode, which will feature appearances by a number of female "SNL" vets including Tina Fey (who hosted the show last weekend with musical guest Justin Bieber), Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.

Jay-Z, who will headline Coachella on Friday night (April 16), has appeared as a musical guest on the show several times before, but this appearance will mark White's first turn as "SNL" host.

"Years ago, I turned it down three times," said White, who's been enjoying a career resurgence thanks to her role in "The Proposal" and her buzzed-about Super Bowl Snickers commercial from earlier this year. "It's so New York, and I'm not New York at all. But my agent said he'd divorce me if I didn't do it, and I love my agent.

"It's lovely, and at my age it's certainly unexpected," she added. "I've got so much energy, it's ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I'm used to that."

In an interview with USA Today in March, "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels admits he "always wanted" White to host the late-night comedy program. "It took on a groundswell," Michaels says of a Facebook campaign that began in response to White's Super Bowl ad. "It isn't something we would have said no to," but the campaign "validated that — 'Oh, that'd be fun.' ... It was the outpouring of affection from fans, and we feel the same way

Court On Public Opinion: Should Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger Be Suspended By NFL After 2nd Rape Allegation? [Video + Poll]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 16, 2010 at 10:00am


Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger just narrowly escaped legal trouble stemming from an alleged rape of a 20 year old college student in Georgia.

In a statement to the media Wilkinson County District Attorney Fred Bright said, "We are not condoning Mr. Roethlisberger's actions, but we do not prosecute morals. We prosecute crimes.".

With that the criminal phase of Big Ben's latest off the field trouble was put to rest.

Now comes the decision by National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell on whether or not to punish Roethlisberger for his conduct off the field.

This was the second rape accusation leveled against the star QB in a year. Andrea McNulty accused him of sexual assault in 2009 stemming from a 2008 incident in Las Vegas. While Ms McNulty chose not to press charges, she is suing Ben in civil court.

Goodell has made an example of players in the past for violating NFL's personal conduct policy.

Adam "Pacman" Jones was suspended without pay for the entire 2007 season. Chris Henry received an eight game suspension that same year. Both of their suspensions were for numerous arrests.

Michael Vick was suspended for five games after being released from prison for his involvement in a dog fighting ring.

The question here is simple, should Ben Roethlisberger be suspended by the NFL? And if so for how long?

According to TMZ the National Treasure star wants it to be his final resting place. I guess he figures it's the one thing the IRS can't take from him.

Kelly Rowland Goes In On Flight Crew After "Sh**ty" Flight To Australia

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 16, 2010 at 6:02am


Kelly Rowland rowed with cabin crew on a 'sh**ty' flight into Sydney, Australia yesterday (15.04.10).

The former Destiny’s Child singer reportedly flew into a rage as she got off her flight from Melbourne and criticised staff on the plane for being 'rude', 'unpleasant' and treating her and her entourage like children.

She said: "I found the flight attendants really sh**ty. I don't know why. You tell me.

"They were very rude to us. That's the first time you'll ever hear me say a curse word. They were just rude to us on the plane. They treated us like five-year-old kids."

According to reports, tension on the Qantas airlines journey started when a group of passengers – believed to be in Kelly’s entourage - started using their mobile telephones and sat in wrong seats.

Discussing what she thought had caused staff to be rude, Kelly answered: "I don't know. Every time I've flown Qantas it's always been fantastic. It was rather unpleasant."

Kelly and her team were joined on the plane by Akon, Eve and Sean Paul – who later headlined the Supafest concert with the 'When Love Takes Over’ hitmaker at the Acer Arena in Sydney.

A spokesperson for Qantas said: 'The safety and comfort of all of our customers is always our primary concern and it is important all passengers observe the requests and instructions of our crews. We will always support the reasonable actions of our crews to ensure the safe operations of our flights.'

Apart from the alleged altercation, Kelly was seemingly pleased with the evening and took to her twitter account to praise the city.

She tweeted: 'THANK YOU for GREAT NIGHT SYDNEY!!!!!! YA'LL WENT INNNN TONIGHT!

'I'm off to sleep!!!!! xoxo(sic)'

Erykah Badu Says J.Dilla Is The #1 Producer Of All Time

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 15, 2010 at 6:33pm


When it comes to VIBE’s hotly contested Greatest Hip Hop Producer Of All Time Tournament, Erykah Badu has one clear-cut favorite.

“His name is James Yancey and they call him J Dilla," says the singer, who is enjoying the success of her critically acclaimed album, New Amerykah, Part Two: Return of the Ankh. "What number do you have him ranked?”

When told that the late legendary Detroit producer was seeded at a top tier no. 6 in our Soul Sample bracket, Badu mused, “Boy, y’all crazy! Y’all better put J Dilla at number one. Everybody out now is influenced by him. I don’t give a damn what people or critics say. They might not want to say it… producers and artists will take certain things from Dilla, but they wont admit it because of ego. You go to Japan and ask them who J Dilla is. Go to Europe, go to Mexico. They will all tell you we know J Dilla.”

Dilla’s patchwork production style can be heard on Return of the Ankh. But Badu’s relationship with the groundbreaking beatsmith goes back. “I have one of his tracks on the new album called 'Love.'
But he also did 'Didn’t You Know?' and 'Kiss Me On My Neck' on Mama’s Gun. I did those songs with him in his basement in his mama’s house. This man is incredible. This man is a scientist. This man takes a sample and makes them into voices and other instruments. Dilla is what’s up."

She continues: "People like Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, and Organized Noize are impeccable. But if we are talking about producing and the skill of it, it’s J Dilla for me. He played the drums live. He didn’t hire an intern to do the beat [laughs]. I vote for J Dilla all day.”

Eminem's Relapse 2 name change to Recovery

Posted by TheNewEntry on April 15, 2010 at 6:00pm

News broke of all the different producers Eminem has on his new album, Relapse 2 Recovery. While known for his experimentation with the latest pharmaceuticals, hip-hop’s favorite White boy isn’t exactly heralded for trying out other beatmakers’ instrumentals besides Dr. Dre and, of course, his own (questionable) lab creations.

Well, fellow Eminem stans, now’s our chance. This is what we've been waiting for, right? Slim Shady over a Just Blaze beat! The thought alone conjures up awesomeness of dramatic proportions. Problem is when I tried to imagine Mr. Mathers rhyming about his crazy mom or killing his ex-wife over one of Blaze’s signature, soulful productions, it didn’t make any sense.

Recovery is set to hit stores on June 22, the same day as Diddy’s Last Train To Paris. Now it’s your turn. What Eminem collabo are you most excited for? Do you think he should have reached out to any other producers? Speak on it.........
