Video After The Jump

 

Before Aaliyah's untimely death in a plane crash at the age of 22, she created many memorable songs. R. Kelly, Teddy Bishop, Eric Seats and Rapture all wrote hits for the singer, but her best work was crafted by Timbaland.

 

In the third part of his interview with Revolt, Timbo explains why posthumous Aaliyah songs with Drake, Chris Brown or anyone else won't work.

 

12350249890?profile=original

 

"People always say I'm gonna do a song with Aaliyah. It will never work," Tim said. "Chris Brown got a record, it won't work. Drake can go do a record with Aaliyah. It ain't gonna work. Because Aaliyah's music only works with the soul in it, which is me."

The super producer also revealed he's been in the studio with Nas.

 

"Nas got a song right now with him Jay and Justin [Timberlake]. It's completely stupid. It's called 'Sinatra in the Sands,'" Tim revealed. "And Justin sounds like Frank Sinatra."



 

 

**UPDATE** July 26

 

After having some time to reflect on his comments Timbaland has issued a public apology to Chris Brown regarding his song with Aaliyah.

 

"I want 2 publicly apologize 2 my lil homie @chrisbrown 4 my statements on revolt regarding the Aaliyah collaborations," Tim wrote on his Twitter page. "I actually like the song wit him n Aaliyah, its just when you are talking about babygirl its a very sensitive subject with me. So the people who not only worked with her but grew a bond so tight we are like family so im very over protective over her. I have mad luv 4 my dude @chrisbrown. A mother lost a daughter. a brother lost a sister. that is still grieving over her passing. It's just a very sensitive subject."

Russell Simmons knows musical talent when he sees it. He's also a very astute businessman who knows how to capitalize on golden opportunities. For those very reasons he's getting back into the music game after taking a decade off.

 

The man who founded Def Jam, along with Rick Rubin has teamed up with Universal Music Group to form All Def Music, according to C-Net. The company will tap into YouTube's vast array of talent hoping to find the next big stars. It's the first music company of it's kind.

 

"The exponential growth of Internet-based video has created a powerful new outlet for music and music-based content, and the launch of All Def Music is a part of our broader strategy to partner with some of the most experienced entrepreneurs in media and technology to identify future stars and develop powerful content on the world's fastest growing media platform," said Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of UMG, in a press release"As one of the most successful entrepreneurs in media, Russell has built a global organization based on developing cutting-edge entertainment for generations of fans.  We're excited to partner with Russell as he extends his incredible track record to platforms such as YouTube, and I'm thrilled that we can welcome Russell back to the UMG family where he has been instrumental to this company's evolution with Def Jam.  In addition, Brian Robbins' proven track record of exceptional content creation specifically designed to harness the power of YouTube has made him one of the most successful producers in media today.  And with Steve's wealth of experience as a music entrepreneur, I couldn't think of a better executive to launch this label."

 

Justin Bieber, Esmee Denters, Karmin, Cody Simpson, Avery, Ysabella Brave and many more have landed record deals after uploading videos of themselves singing on the popular website.

Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin

 

Simmons, who played a huge role in the early careers of LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, Whodini, T La Rock, Kurtis Blow and his brother, Rev. Run's group Run DMC has already started mining YouTube talent.

 

12350262678?profile=original

Spoken Reasons

 

His label has inked a deal with comedian/actor/rapper Spoken Reasons. Established rapper Asher Roth has also signed with the company. Roth will star in an "unscripted music-themed show" titled "Lemonade." 

 

"When I looked at this, I saw a big, giant white space," said Simmons. "There's a lot happening online that's not being managed properly. These artists are in separate worlds, and not everything bubbles up to the top. That's my job."

 

The 55-year old Simmons is also going to launch a multichannel network on YouTube called All Def Digital with his business partner Brian Robbins.

Steve Rifkind

 

Loud Records founder Steve Rifkind has joined the team as president and CEO of All Def Music and ADD Artist Management

 

Under Rifkin's watch, Loud released material from Wu-Tang Clan, Big Punisher, Mobb Deep, The Beatnuts, M.O.P., Tha Alkaholiks, Pete Rock, Lil' Flip, Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, Xzibit, Twista and many more.

 

"Over the course of my entire career, I've never been more excited than I am today about the potential for innovation in music.  Tapping into YouTube's fertile creative platform, we intend to identify, develop and nurture music's next generation of superstar talent.  Alongside Russell, Brian and the incredible team at UMG, I look forward to building All Def Music into a global music label for the new age," said Rifkind

 

With Universal's backing, Rifkind's uncanny ability to find big acts and his own skill set, Russell looks to be in a great position to make a huge impact on the music scene once again.

Chris Brown appeared in court this morning and pleaded not guilty to a hit-and-run charge stemming from a minor traffic accident that happened in May.

 

The singer's probation was revoked because of the incident. He was initially charged with driving without a valid license and proof of insurance, but those charges were dismissed, according to TMZ.

12350248686?profile=original


Because he wasn't arrested the day of the accident he will have to go a police station to be booked and have another mug shot taken by August 6.

 

Chris will have to appear in court again on August 15 to deal with the hit-and-run case. He also has another court hearing in August to determine if he violated his probation in the Rihanna assault case.

Lil Scrappy has been on probation for five years stemming from charges related to a weed bust, gun possession and assault.

 

He sat down with VladTV recently to talk about his legal problems, his addiction to marijuana, going to rehab for it and how his addiction almost cost his his freedom and family.

 

12350247464?profile=original

 

"For me [weed is an addiction.] Smoke when I wake up, smoke when I take a shower, smoke when I hop in the car, smoke with every problem and situation that come about. When you can'top something that means you're addicted to it," Scrappy said. "Anybody out there, if you smoke a lot of weed just stop...don't smoke. I guarantee you, you're gonna wanna smoke. I guarantee you ain't gonna be able to stop."

Beyonce's concert in Montreal hit a snag last night. The singer was performing "Halo" when she got too close a cooling fan and her became entangled.

 

What's remarkable is that she kept on singing while crew members scrambled to figure out how to free her from the equipment. Eventually they decided to just cut her hair and the show continued on.
