Video After The JumpCory Gunz has been grinding for a minute, destroying every beat he's spit on. He recently signed with Lil Wayne's, Young Money imprint, adding more firepower to an already stacked line up.
VladTV recently caught up with Cory to find out how the deal came about.
"Over the years it has always been me, Wayne and Mack [Maine] as far as communicating back and forth," Cory said. "It has always been a little miscommunication as far as my deal. Now it's figured out. Mack Maine was real instrumental in wanting to get the situation done. One thing led to another and it's about to be history."
Cory goes on to talk about his relationship with Lil Wayne, how Weezy is holding up in jail and how a lot of rappers have tried to steal his style.

Video After The JumpKelly Rowland just released her second new video in less than a week.
We peeped the visuals for "Rose Colored Glasses" a couple of days ago. Now we get to check out "Forever and A Day", the second UK single for her not yet titled album.
Kelly has never looked or sounded better. She seems to have hit her stride with more uptempo songs, after working with David Guetta on "When Love Takes Over" and "Commander".
Expect more joints like this when her album drops later this year.

Eccentric singer, Kelis has reached a point in her career where she doesn't want to be a typical pop star. The need to make music that has mass appeal is not something she is interested in anymore.
In a recent interview with UK's Guardian, Nas' baby mama talked about her career and trends she sees in the industry that she doesn't like.
"Everyone is trying so hard to be different that it's contrived and unnatural. I find it hard to appreciate," she says. "Everyone's attention span is getting shorter. As a result, everything – films, music, art – gets watered down and dumber. Every now and again, you get something great, but not often."
Fed up with industry trends, the 31 year old singer is now focused on making music she enjoys. Even if that means fans might not get it sometimes.
"There's a difference between a pop star and an artist. Pop stars have to be perfect all the time; an artist is allowed, on occasion, to suck. And I put myself in that category because I sometimes suck. I'm not trying to please the masses. It's not going to happen, so I don't try," she admits.
"I think I brought an honesty to music. There are prettier chicks, better dancers, and lots of people out there could probably sing better than me. I'm just the only me there is. And that's what makes it worth something. I don't think I'm the best at anything. It's just there's no one else like me, and somehow it works."

Video And Pics After The JumpShocking video footage of a P&O cruise caught in severe storms that left 42 people injured has been published online.
The Australian Pacific Sun cruise liner was around 400miles from the coast of New Zealand when giant waves hit the boat causing it to list violently.
And as the ship struggles in the high seas, staff and guests are sent flying backwards and forwards, trying to grab on to anything nailed down - and failing.
Heads up: A lady careens into a pillar on the fifth floor after the cruise liner was caught up in heavy storms
The waves were so powerful that they lashed as high as the fifth deck.
The receptionists are shown clinging on to their desks and computers before the more severe waves hit the liner.
But soon they, and the guests, are sent careering across the floor like rag dolls, helpless and out-of-control.
The Pacific Sun was on the return leg of an eight-night sailing to the Islands of Vanuatu when the storm hit.
Diners were sitting down for their evening meal shortly after dark...one described the scene as 'like being in a disaster movie
Sent flying: A cook holds on for dear life while another man is whizzed, head first, across the floor
Tables, chairs and passengers are hurled from side to side. Several people are injured by sliding tables and chairs, as well as by getting slammed into columns.
P&O offered passengers a 25 per cent discount on their next cruise - but after this ordeal one would suppose that all of those involved would be happier on terra firma.
The CCTV footage from the incident, which took place in 2008, has just been released by the Liveleaks website.
One passenger, Elizabeth Basher, suffered a fractured knee during the storm: 'We were getting a pre-dinner drink at the bar, moved to a safe place to be on the carpet to get some traction, and suddenly it happened, and we were just thrown across towards a plate-glass window,' she said
A second video taken below deck shows heavy equipment, including a forklift, being tossed around like toys and narrowly missing a crew member.
A Carnival Australia spokesperson, the parent company for P&O, said the footage had been seen before and described the conditions at sea as 'extreme'.
David Johns said: 'A series of waves buffeted the ship, having an impact for people onboard.
'This was an exceptionally rare occurrence.The incident was fully investigated and lessons learnt have been heeded, including the securing of tables and other furnishings aboard.'

His gun jams for a second, once he gets it fixed, he blasts through the glass door.
The restaurant had just closed, so most of the employees were in the back counting money. The gunman quickly finds them. Since there is no sound, you can't hear what is said, but they all run like hell.
The robber bags the money and bounces.
This happened in Greenville, South Carolina a couple of days ago. There are reports that this store has been hit several times in the last few months.

Who is the world's highest earning celebrity? Which power couple dominates the entertainment world? What pop star commands the most searches on the Internet? The new Guinness World Records 2011 edition out now reveals all this and more in its celebrity-filled pages.
As one of the most talked about pop stars in recent memory, it should come as no surprise that Lady Gaga earned two records for the new book – "Most Searched-For Female" on Google and "Most Weeks On UK Chart In Any Year" with an astounding 154 weeks. Gaga shares her place in the new book alongside two of music's superstars – Jay-Z and Beyonce. Named the year's biggest "Power Couple", Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Beyonce Knowles earned an astounding $122 million through June 2009.
Two celebrities this year making headlines for their high profile personal lives also made the book. Lindsey Lohan, takes the dubious honor as "Most Infamous Female Celebrity" thanks to her run-ins with the law and the unfortunate performances of her latest movies and Tiger Woods, who ruled the tabloids for his extramarital affairs, didn't see an impact on his earnings yet as he assumes his place as the "Most Powerful Sports Star". The golf phenom raked in an impressive $103 million and topped the 2010 BusinessWeek Sports Power 100 list.Miley Cyrus, a celebrity who has toed the line between controversy and a thriving career success, also enters into the book as the "Most Charted Teenager". The singer/actor, scored her 29th US Hot 100 chart entry on November 7, 2009 with "Party in the USA".
"Where else would Sarah Palin be beaten by Lady Gaga than in the Guinness World Records book! Gaga – who takes over from Palin as the most searched for female on the internet – is just one of the new big names to make it into the Guinness World Records book this year. She joins a stellar cast including Lindsay Lohan, A-Rod, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Brangelina, the Khardashians, and so on, in our most celeb-packed edition yet. These recession-proof stars guarantee to bring a bit of glamour to our book. Their artistic endeavors – and their influence over the public are indisputable," said Craig Glenday, Editor-In-Chief, Guinness World Records.
Although Twilight fans may take sides on Team Jacob or Team Edward one thing they can agree upon is that their favorite movie has made into the Guinness World Records book. In November 2009, the Twilight sequel New Moon eclipsed The Dark Knight to achieve the "Highest Opening Day Gross" of $72.7 million.
In tribute to the "King of Pop", the new Guinness World Records book features a special page devoted to Michael Jackson. The untimely death of MJ made the entertainer the "Most Searched-For Male" on the web and earned him several posthumous records reinforcing his spot at the top of the entertainment world. MJ, a fan of the Guinness World Records book, is a multiple record holder receiving eight over his lifetime for his chart achievements, album sales, earnings and charity donations.

Toronto rapper Drake has a vast knowledge of music stored in his brain. His tastes range from hip hop to rock and r&b. So it should come as no surprise that his own music is not confined to one genre.
On his debut album, 'Thank Me Later', Drizzy easily moved from spitting raps to singing entire r&b flavored joints throughout the album.
In recent weeks, Drake revealed his love for fallen pop angel Aaliyah, who died at age 22 in a plane crash. Penning an open letter to her on his website.
"My love for her goes beyond anything. Maybe it's corny of me to like a girl's music so much. I wish I had the chance to meet her. I would've tried to marry her," Drake tells Rolling Stone in their upcoming issue.
He also talked to RS about his admiration for guitar legend, Jimi Hendrix, who also died young, age 27.
"We just left Seattle, where I played the Bumbershoot festival and visited Jimi Hendrix's memorial, I'm a huge fan," he explains. "I play the DVD of Hendrix at Woodstock to pump me up before I perform. Watching him go out there at 10 in the morning in shitty weather and conquer the crowd always gives me a little more adrenaline. I just left a little letter for Jimi at his grave," Drake says. "It wasn't a real letter. I just wrote him a message on a pack of Zig-Zags. It said, "Still inspired."
That's what's up, now we'll have to wait and see if Drake drops another album this year as Mack Maine hinted to MTV a month ago.

SANFORD, Fla. -- A day after Local 6 News first aired video of a father threatening to kill students on a Central Florida school bus, the TV station has obtained new video showing what motivated the rant.
James Jones, of Sanford, was arrested Thursday on charges of disorderly conduct and disturbing a school function and booked into the Seminole County Jail. He was later released on bond.
Jones said on Friday that his 13-year-old daughter is in the hospital, but he didn't say if it's related to the incident.
Video shows Jones walking onto a school bus headed to Greenwood Lakes Middle School in Lake Mary last month and threatening students and the driver
The day before the incident, his daughter was sitting near the back of the school bus, and new video obtained by Local 6 News shows a white object in the middle of the aisle of the bus. According to Jones and other students on the bus, the object was an unwrapped condom. The video shows a boy sitting behind James' daughter getting up from his seat and picking the condom up. The video then shows him move back to his seat carrying the condom and tossing it onto the girl's hair. As she struggled to pull it out, students aboard the bus erupt in laughter, the video shows.
Jones said the video explains why he reacted the way he did, threatening to kill students.
"I couldn't see myself letting my kids get disrespected in front of every other kid. That's what was going through my head," Jones said.
Parents agree but said Jones crossed the line.
"I can feel where he's coming from of why he was mad and said and did what he did, but I don't understand why he would attack another kid," Jason Tate, the father of a 6-year-old girl, said Thursday.
Police met with the student and his parents Thursday and said it's up to the Joneses to decide whether to press charges against the boy, who could be charged with battery for flicking the victim in the ear.

Video After The JumpFabolous and Soulja Boy recently squashed their beef
Fab had a chance to talk to MTV's RapFixLive about the situation.
"The only reason I really wanted to speak to him [was] because of the threats that was involved," Fab said. "If you threaten me or someone threaten you, when you see them, you're reacting off of the threat, probably. Then that could escalate into something else, which I really didn't want, because Soulja Boy is 19, 20 years old and I'm grown. It's nothing cool about that to me."
Funeral Fab thought the threats were uncharacteristic of the young Atlanta MC.
"I never threatened him, and for him to make threats, I wanted to see if this was [really him]," Fab said. "I wasn't even sure if it was him at that point. I thought maybe somebody hacked his account. I just didn't know of that Soulja Boy. He was saying that he had heard certain things and people were telling [him], 'Yo, Fab's going at you.' He had heard things before that I said and he thought ... maybe for some reason that I didn't like him," When I spoke to him I [was like], 'Personally, I don't have nothin' against you. It was more something of me just cracking jokes. If it happened to anybody, I would have been cracking jokes on them. It just happened to happen to you.' "
All is well that ends well though, the two of them talked it out like grown men. It's a good look for hip hop and for kids that looks up to artists. Showing them there is a better way to work out disagreements other than violence.

Video After The JumpBehind The Beats: AlchemistAlchemist pulled it off once again. Al, who rose to fame with his production for the likes of Mobb Deep, Lloyd Banks and Lil Wayne, has been prospering lately as Eminem's DJ. Em doesn't perform too much, so when a star of his caliber takes the stage, every show is high-profile. This month, Al was in the DJ booth during Em's Home and Home shows with Jay-Z in Detroit and in New York.
"With the band now, it eases a little bit of the pressure," Al said. "My friends say, 'You're pressing play and stop.' I'll tell them, 'It's pressing play and stop; it's not the technical part of it. If you mess it up, it's a stop and go, but you better do it right on time.' It's like the pyro. The pyro guy can't be a second off. Somebody can get blown up. Em being the perfectionist he is, it was clear: 'All right, Al, when you're on the stage with Em, there's no room for error.' I respected that. I was like, 'Oh, that's gonna make me step my game up.' I'm watching his shows, before I was his DJ, looking at how his vocals were perfect. In sync, perfect. I felt like this is important. I took it real serious."
Al said he, Eminem manager Paul Rosenberg and D12's Mr. Porter all give Em input on the show.
"At first I was nervous. Like, 'This is one of the greatest of all time. It's nothing I can really tell him,' " Al thought back. "But as you vibe together, you get ideas. I would test the waters a little bit. He would listen, not always take your idea, but be open-minded. As we started rehearsing, I started implementing some of the stuff I'm known for."
Paul and Em told Al to put some of his own flavor into the live sets. Fans got to hear some of that flavor during the Home and Home series."It was 'The Way I Am,' " Alchemist explained. "It was an old version where they had Edie Brickell in it: 'What I am is what I am.' So ... I was like, 'We should bring it back when we play it live.' It was a reason they didn't use it on the original song. Maybe clearance or something. Stuff like that. Or at the end of 'Not Afraid,' when the band is breaking it down, I made them get the a cappella and I put in the 'Holla if you ... ' Start cutting that up. I think about [DJ] Premier a lot. I think about how to be subtle as a DJ. The band's up here, Em is running the show. I look at it as accents. I was around [DJ] Muggs for so many years. I got to see so many great people do it. Definitely try to think of what I saw through the years, be subtle and play my part. Add some flavor."Next Wave of Flav
On Eminem and Slaughterhouse: "I didn't make the Recovery album. Shout-out to DJ Khalil, the big homie. He did, like, four joints on the album. Em's got him on the album. Mr. Porter made the album. Havoc made the album. It adds to me wanting to go even harder. I think what it was, that I'm so accustomed to making stuff for Mobb Deep or Dilated [Peoples] or the people in my immediate circle. Being around Em more, I'm starting to get it. People vibe, and we make the best music. Now that I'm around him more, there's talks of the Slaughterhouse project. I think that might be one of the first moments I might be able to pick up some dust."
On Gang Green: "I got this project Gang Green with Oh No, a real good friend from the West Coast, a collaboration project we did together. We did the rhymes and beats together. It's like I'm almost going backwards. I've had my years when I tried to make big stuff after I had a little success. Now I'm gong back to the raw beats, making something every country can feel. Raekwon's on the joint. Guilty Simpson, Evidence, Fat Sean, a bunch of people I have relationships with."
On Prodigy: "P comes home in February. It's gonna be a very busy time. It's amazing. He feels like he's home already. He's in the best health he's been in. He's really excited. I've been sending him beats. Havoc is sending him beats. I e-mail them to his wife, and she puts it on some type of cassette. It's like he's in the studio, he's just not recording."Read more…

Video After The Jump
(CNN) -- A 28-year-old woman who said an unknown assailant threw a cup of caustic liquid in her face has admitted her injuries were self-inflicted, Vancouver, Washington, police said Thursday.
Bethany Storro was being interviewed by detectives, and whether she will be charged will be up to prosecutors, police said.
"She is extremely upset," said police Commander Marla Schuman. "She is very remorseful. In many ways it got bigger than she expected."
Police would not speculate on Storro's motives, only saying the August 30 incident did not occur as she described and that there were discrepancies in her account, including wearing sunglasses in the evening.
They also had questions about the liquid's splash patterns on Storro's face.
Officers acquired a search warrant and conducted a search Thursday morning. They removed several undisclosed items, but said they did not find a substance that might have caused her injuries.
Vancouver had searched for an assailant, described as an African-American woman with an athletic build and slicked-back hair pulled into a pony tail.
Storro was released from an Oregon hospital on September 5 after undergoing surgery for her injuries after the alleged attack.
Police spent hundreds of hours on the case and the community came together to offer donations for Storro's treatment.
"It has had an impact on our community," said Police Chief Clifford Cook. "It has brought negative attention on our community that is undeserved."
Storro's family was also being interviewed, police said. They described her as being in a fragile mental state.
Storro credited a new pair of sunglasses -- which she said she bought just 20 minutes before the attack -- with saving her eyesight.
"God is watching over me," Storro, of Vancouver, told CNN affiliate KATU in Portland, Oregon, at the time. "I believe in him. That his hands are on me and I can't live the rest of my life like that -- in fear. I can't let what she did to me wreck my life."
Storro told KATU that she had stopped at a Vancouver Starbucks about 7:15 p.m., just after she had gone back to buy a pair of sunglasses that she had seen earlier. The woman walked up to her and said, "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?"
When Storro declined, the woman threw the contents of the cup in her face and ran off, Storro claimed at the time.
