Nicki Minaj Lines Up Production From Swizz Beatz & Kanye West For Debut CD

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 3, 2010 at 8:00am


If Nicki Minaj's debut cd fails to live up to expectations it won't be because of a lack of quality beats.

Rap-Up is reporting the Young Money femcee has her eyes set on two of the biggest names in the business in Kanye West and Swizz Beatz.

She told Rap-Up she sees Kanye contributing, “I’m probably definitely going to work with Kanye,”

While prepping "Massive Attack", the first single and video for the album Nicki also mentioned her desire to work with Swizzie.

"On my debut, I worked with Sean Garrett. And probably Swizz Beatz, he’s gonna send me something.”

While she didn't mentioned them specifically expect collaborations from the Young Money camp on the currently untitled album.

Young Jeezy Says New CD, 'Thug Motivation 103' Will Drop In June. Speaks On Plies Collaboration

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 3, 2010 at 6:31am


Video After The Jump

On Tuesday night, Young Jeezy and his Mob Squad lit up Madison Square Garden during the Blueprint 3 Tour stop.

"It's not a rap concert; it's a show," Jeezy said just hours before the performance. "Me and Jay sat down and talked about it. That was the whole thing: 'Let's give them a concert, not just a rap show.' It's been working out that way. From start to finish, it's a whole show. Trey [Songz], me, Jay — from start to finish, it flows. It's kinda crazy, 'cause we got the same type of fans. It's not awkward. You could be on tour with somebody, you see Jeezy and Black Eyed Peas, it's like, 'What the hell?' "


Young just put out the first record from his Thug Motivation 103 album, "Lose My Mind." The record features Plies and debuted in a live performance Saturday during the Blueprint 3 Tour stop in Atlanta.

"To keep it all the way 100 with you, we did a record called 'So Sad,' " Jeezy said about how he got with Plies. "Before I could put it out, the record leaked, so we was good on that. Then I was gonna do a record for him [for his album]. I did the record, by the way, but I had 'Lose My Mind.' I done three verses. I listened to it a couple of times. I said, 'Let me try something. I'mma put somebody on the record.' I was doing a joint for him at the time and happened to see him. We was doing something for [NBA] All-Star [Weekend]. I was like, 'Yo, I'mma get you this record, see if you like it.' He sent it right back. I went with it. Just to warm up the streets, let them know I'm coming."

Jeezy said he decided to premiere the song in front of the crowd at the Philips Arena on Saturday to let them know that he has something concrete done and the album is coming soon.

"It was new, so it was cool. But everybody was like, 'When is TM103 coming out?' But it's like the block: I ain't gonna put it out there unless it's rock, unless it's hard, unless it's right," he explained. "I wanted to get in the kitchen, in the lab, and do my thing and put it out when it's time. I'm ready now. It don't stop there. It's go time."

Young described "Lose My Mind" as a quick snapshot of his nightlife.

"To me, it's my life," Jeezy said. "That's how I feel sometimes when I go out. If you listen to me, I said it a few times: 'Lost my mind and my cell phone in the same night.' No two days are the same. ... I been partying my whole life. That's how you feel the next day. You killed them, and you left. You was looking good, shining good, there's no limit to what you can have in the club. That's how it's been for us before music. 'Lose My Mind' is doing what the hell I wanna do in the club. If it's 100 bottles of rosé, if it's 40 bottles of Belvedere, if it's all the kush in the world. I'mma do what I wanna do. When I leave there, I don't wanna remember nothing. I just wanna wake up and do the same thing again. That's what 'Lose Your Mind' is about. You gotta have life your way. If you ain't losing your mind, you ain't partying right."

Young said his album will drop sometime in June. And, of course, we'll get his mixtape, Trap or Die 2 with DJ Drama, sometime before that.

"The date we originally wanted to go with, it didn't work for neither one of us. It's cool, though, because we never rush things," Jeezy said about the mixtape's delay. "Once we get through all the politics, I think the streets will have that."

The Snowman did promise to keep leaking songs from the mixtape in the interim

Xzibit Teams With Cyprell Hills' B-Real & Newcomer Young De To Form New Group, Serial Killaz

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 3, 2010 at 6:30am


Videos After The Jump


Last month, a new track called "Body Bags," featuring Cypress Hill frontman B-Real, Xzibit and rising rapper Young De hit the web. The collaboration wasn't just for one of the MCs' project, it is part of a group effort between the trio called the Serial Killaz.

We caught up with Young De on the set of Xzibit's new music video, "Hurt Locker," recently where he revealed the group's formation.

He said the three joined forces after a chance meeting in the studio, where they began creating new music and couldn't deny their chemistry.

"The way that it actually came together was I had met Xzibit in the studio. I walked into the studio and there's Xzibit, and I got introduced to him," Young De explained to BallerStatus.com. "He's like 'Hey, you're Young De, who's on B-Real's 'Don't Ya Dare Laugh,' ' (the first single off B-Real solo debut, Smoke N Mirrors). He's like 'I love that song. I need to get your on something.' So, we started working from there, and we just really clicked up ... mentally, like on the same page, work ethic-wise.

"And, I've been working with B-Real the last two years. That's the person who's showed me a lot about this game so far. So, we started by [Xzibit] hopping on one of the songs, because me and B-Real were working on an album together. It came from that," he added.

The Serial Killaz album is nearly complete, says De. However, you won't be hearing too much from it just yet. Because members Xzibit and B-Real have their own projects in the works -- X's next solo album, MMX, set to drop sometime this year; and B-Real is gearing up for a new Cypress Hill album, set for April.

Further details, including the project's title, guests, producers, etc. are unknown at press time.

Young De did say to expect a "themed album" though, before declining to give more details. He did express is excitement though, saying once the two hip-hop vets came to him with the idea, he jumped at the opportunity.

"Number one, I feel very blessed to be even ... when B-Real and Xzibit come to you and go 'Hey we're gonna do a group together' ... you go like 'Hell ya! (laughs) Where do you want me to stand?'" the rapper said. "It was like an organic thing."

Until more Serial Killaz music leaks, you can expect to hear more songs and music videos from X's upcoming MMX album. Xzibit told us that he'll be leaking both visuals and tracks leading up to the album's release, which hadn't been announced at press time.

Cypress Hill, on the other hand, are set to drop their first new group album since 2004's Till Death Do Us Part. Their new album, titled Rise Up, is set for release April 20 (4/20), of course. You can download their first single, "It Ain't Nothin'," at their official website CypressHill.com.

Woman Arrested After Breaking Into House She Thought Was Diddy's, Pretending To Be His Wife

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 2, 2010 at 6:00pm


East Hampton Town Police have arrested a Florida woman for trespassing on an East Hampton property she apparently believed belonged to the rapper Sean Combs.

Police arrested Cemelia Green, 35, of Jacksonville on February 22 and charged her with criminal mischief in the second degree and criminal trespass in the second degree, both misdemeanors. The arrest took place at a house on Bianco Road about a week after police were called to the location for another incident involving Ms. Green. Mr. Combs owns a house on Hedges Banks Road.

On February 12, police were informed that a woman had been into headquarters requesting the location of Mr. Combs’s residence. Police were then called to the house on Bianco Road by a maintenance worker and found Ms. Green, who, police said, had told the worker that she was married to Mr. Combs and owned the property. Police said they approached Ms. Green and she left without incident.

But on February 22, while on routine patrol, officers found Ms. Green walking behind the house, and when they approached her she got into her car and locked the doors. Police said they canvassed the area and found that a sliding glass door had been broken recently. The officer was able to talk Ms. Green out of the car, police said, and she was arrested and taken to headquarters. Bail was set at $5,000 and Ms. Green’s vehicle was impounded.

Lil Wayne Sentencing Delayed Again Due To Courthouse Fire

Video After The Jump


NEW YORK — A court spokesman says rap star Lil Wayne's sentencing in a New York City gun case has been postponed because of a courthouse fire.

The rapper had been expected to start a one-year jail term after sentencing Tuesday. He pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

Courts spokesman David Bookstaver said the sentencing was among proceedings canceled due a basement fire at a Lower Manhattan courthouse.

The 27-year-old rapper entered his plea in October. He admitted having a loaded gun on his tour bus in July 2007.

He has become one of rap's biggest names and music's biggest sellers in recent years.

Lebron James Giving Up #23 To Honor Michael Jordon. Switching To #6 Next Season

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 2, 2010 at 7:27am


LeBron James could reportedly have a new number next season, but Cleveland Cavaliers fans hope the words remain the same.

James filed paperwork to switch from No. 23 to No. 6, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported on Monday. He beat a Wednesday deadline to make the request.

The All-Star said in November that he was thinking of giving up 23 out of respect for his hero Michael Jordan, but at that time he was "50-50," according to the newspaper.

"I've done it," James told the Plain Dealer. "I already sent it in. I'm going to be No. 6."

Six is James' jersey number on the Olympic team, but the NBA does not have to grant his request. If James switches teams, he can choose any number he wishes. The change only applies if he stays with the Cavaliers.

James will be part of the vaunted 2010 free-agent class that includes Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. While Bulls fans would like to see him try to make No. 6 as legendary as No. 23 in Chicago, New York has also maneuvered to have enough cap space to sign James.

Cleveland can sign James to a longer, more lucrative deal, however.

Soulja Boy Vows To Improve His Lyrical Skills On Next Album. Speaks On Kanye West Co-Sign

Video After The Jump

NEW YORK — Soulja Boy Tell'em has vowed to prove himself as an MC on his next album, The DeAndre Way.

For the effort, the rapper has already said he wants Jay-Z and Eminem onboard. So far, he's been in the studio with Kanye West, and Soulja said 'Ye was impressed with his upgraded material.

"When I was in the studio, I played him a couple of joints, and then he just said, 'Damn, he's really starting to go hard,' " Soulja Boy told MTV News on the red carpet of BET's "Rip the Runway." "And I was like, 'Yeah, you feel me?' ... Out of all the artists to get the go-ahead or the co-sign from, it was Kanye."


Recently, Soulja Boy and West have been collaborating on material for 'Ye's next album. West requested the teen sensation to help produce tracks for him.

Soulja Boy spoke to MTV News late last year, after he created three tracks "back-to-back-to-back" for West, and said the sessions were beneficial to both musicians.

"Me working with him, collaborating on different beats," he said of working with West. "Him showing me a lot of stuff I didn't know. Me showing him a lot of stuff he didn't know. He had an ear for my sound. Of course I had an ear for all the stuff he did. Genius! You know what I mean?"

French Montana Plans On Making Debut CD A "Masterpiece"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 2, 2010 at 6:50am


The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

French Montana is in no rush to put out his debut album. One of Akon's newest signees said he has enough money to continue serving up material through mixtapes, such as his latest, Mac Wit Da Cheese 2. His first album has to be classic, French said.

"My album is set for late summer," French said last week while shooting a video for his mixtape track "Bad Habits," with guest Bun B. "It's called Excuse My French. I'm just working. I wanna come with a masterpiece, man. I'm not no overnight rapper. I'm comfortable with where I'm at. My followers are my real followers. I ain't no phase. I'm here to stay. [The release] could be late summer, it could come out past then, as long as it's a masterpiece when we put it out. ... You gotta understand, that's what they gonna remember you for, your first album. Biggie's Ready to Die, UGK's first album — you wanna come with the same thing. The title gotta live up to the music."

Bun and French share a mutual respect for each other's grinds, Montana said.

"The video is called 'Bad Habits,' " Montana explained. "Everybody got a bad habit. I sent [the track] to Bun. Bun heard it, laid the verse in like five minutes. I sent it to him, he called me back in five minutes. I was like, 'Oh my God.' "

"I was in the lab, I was already in that zone," Bun added. "It was something that I felt made sense, that I felt represented his movement, repped my movement, and we spoke to people on a real level. That's one thing about UGK music. We can't be fabricating sh--. We kept it real with each other.

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
