R&N - 09/28/07 - Jae Hood Story

R&N - 09/28/07

Hey folks,

I apologize for my absence, but ya boy got things to take care of...

Anyway, now for the news...

Jay-Z & LL Cool J - Def Jam Beef!


So if you haven't heard, LL Cool J, has some beef with President Carter. LL is to Def Jam, as 50 Cent is to Interscope right now. A flagship artist. And he's been upset that they made Jay-Z President instead of him. So yea... LL's been throwing jabs @ Jay about that... It's getting interesting now:

LL was talking about how instead of Jay doing the "I Get Money Remix", he shoulda been "doing his job". Other remarks similar to that.

Jay says: "I'll be honest if I wanted to go there, I just really go all the way out there. But I got respect [LL Cool J] did a lot of things. I don't like the way he's carrying it cause we coulda definitely talked about this. Or he coulda gave me a phone call... but I respect him as a legend in the game and he's gonna get a couple passes because of that."

We'll see where this goes as time progresses.

Chamillionaire - Track of The Week

It honestly took me a day or two to figure out my favorite tracks on Chamillionaire's album, but this is certified HEAT!

Audio: Chamillionaire - Come Back To The Streets

Video: Lupe Fiasco - Dumb It Down

Hey folks,

Check out these hot joints I found:


More than likely, Ciara is gonna put out an album late this year... This BETTER be one of the singles... This joint doesn't seem to be "mastered" yet, but it still sounds pretty good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to TI, by da way! I think he turned 26.

Ciara ft. TI - Goodbye My Dear

New female rapper in tha game...Penelope Jones. (Wonder if she's related to Serious, heheh). Check her out. She's got a HOT single with Mya.


Penelope Jones ft. Mya - No Matter What They Say

Busta Rhymes - When Hell Freezes Over


I hear Busta's got a new album coming out in October. It's gonna be called "When Hell Freezes Over". I'll see if I can find a single or two.

Chamllionaire - Ultimate Victory Review


I bought the Chamillionaire album, and I think he's one of my favorite artists now. That album is "da truth". HOT Production, great lyrics. If you like like good production, and like Chamillionaire singing on tracks, you're gonna love tha album.

Favorite Tracks: - I might post them later in the week.

Ebay-Bay!

I swear... I thought of this months ago. You know how much money Hurricane coulda made off this?!

Jay-Z - American Gangster With Blue Magic!


Out of NOWHERE! Jay-Z announces that he is doing another album!!! Not only that, but it will be called "American Gangster"! The set date right now is November 6th! Jay claims that the album is his lyrical interpretation of the new movie coming out.

The movie will star TI, Denzel Washington, Cuba Gooding Jr., Common and others.. Something to DEFINITELY check out...

Anyway, Check out the new EXCLUSIVE single!

Audio: - Jay-Z - Blue Magic

Nuff said.

Mobb Deep vs. Saigon?!

There's an old beef between Tru Life and Mobb Deep... If you guys know Tru Life, him and his crew jack chains from other rappers... It's crazy! So anyway, Saigon is cool with the dude, and Saigon was performing one of his tracks @ SOB's, a club in New York... So Saigon gets snuffed by one of the dudes in the Mobb Deep clique... Here are 2 version of the story on tape.

Mobb Deep's Version



Saigon's Version



Papoose - Dropped From Jive!


For those of you have been waiting on Papoose to drop his album, Nacirema (America backwards) Dream, you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer...

Pap & Kay Slay have just announced that he was released from Jive Records. He was originally signed to Jive for 1.5 Million dollars. After about a year, no album has surfaced, as of yet. Now he's having to look for a new label. This is what Kay-Slay had to say on Hot 97 in New York:

"
We have officially gotten our release from Jive f*ckin records. It was like a f*ckin year of hell... Unfortunately, we almost became victims of A&R hell.

"You cannot put a 60-something-year-old white man on a 20-something-year-old black kid's project from Brooklyn, and think it's gonna pop. And like I said this aint a bashing. It's a reality. But by the grace of everybody's... understanding, we are free. Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, free at last. We are very happy, we're popping champagne. We got our release from Jive Records, and we're just moving on"

Hopefully, he can put out that album ASAP. Have a good weekend.

Hey folks,

Just thanking everyone who has been checking out my page this week. I appreciate it. If you want updates on your favorite artists and check out the craziest hip-hop pictures, feel free to join the Facebook group. The link is on the right hand side of the page aka "Music Forecast Facebook Group"

Anyway, now for the news...

FEMALE Clash of The Titans?!



Now that the "Clash of the Titans" is over for the most part, get ready for the female version of this in November... That's right... 2 divas will be goin' at it. MC vs. MJB. Can't wait for that. More info coming up soon.

Elephant Man - No Fight With Diddy


Apparently, the Elephant man fight was not true, (at the time, I woulda believed it, lol) so I had to debunk it. I hear his album is comin' out soon, though... Something to go check out, maybe. Bad Boy, Baby, heheh.

Chamillionaire - Hot Album!


From what I've been hearing, the reviews for Cham's new album have been pretty good. Unfortunately, the Kanye/50 clash kinda overshadowed him, so his sales may take a dive because of that. But we'll see.

Hey, buy his album, and you may win a plaque!

Anyway, check out his "Evenin' News"

THE OFFICIAL NUMBERS!

The people have spoken, and it’s Graduation day for Kanye West!


Kanye West - 930,000 copies!


50 Cent - 660,000 copies!


Kenny Chesney - 400,000 copies

My old prediction... "1 million copies the 1st week on Kanye.... 800,000 for 50 Cent..."

Not too far on Kanye's numbers... 50 undersold what I thought he'd sell...

Chamillionaire - Ultimate Birthday Celebration!


Shout out to Chamillionaire. He dropped his new album, Ultimate Victory! Go pick that up. If you've been "True To The Game", you would know that he is holding a contest giving out plaques! Yes... if you buy his album (legally) and send in the original receipt, he will send randomly selected fans a platinum plaque. That's what's up. I'd get to it.

R&N - 09/18/07 - EXCLUSIVES!

THA BONUS TRACKS FOR CURTIS & GRADUATION!
Keep in mind, these aren't on the album at all. But it makes sense for them to be if they get re-released in the future...

These are my picks, so I hope you enjoy. Definite shout-out to Kanye for whoopin' 50 Cent.

#1 Album


Kanye West ft Young Jeezy - Can't Tell Me Nothing Remix
Kanye West ft. Mos Def - Good Night
- makes sense that if you start off with a Good Morning, you would end with a Good Night. Plus, it's seems to have been made in the "Graduation" process.

#2 Album


50 Cent - Curtis - I Get Money Remix ft. Diddy & Jay-Z

R&N - 09/16/07

Hey folks

Now that I've seen it, I'm not sure WHAT'S goin' on with Jim Jones & 50 Cent....
Check the vid...

Also, a real shocker:

Elephant Man - Stampeded On Diddy?!


A WHILE AGO (like last year), Diddy had signed Elephant Man... Don't know exactly why, but I guess he thought he was a good reggae artist... or a good tax write-off. :-p Rumor has it, Elephant Man and his crew came to his office, and assaulted him over some money...(or lack thereof..)

Ironically, he's got a single with production from Swizz Beatz called "Let's Get Physical". I'll figure it out, probably later in the week.

KANYE/50 Cent Results.... (Off 1st Day Sales!)


Thanks to a record-shattering first day at iTunes and traditional retail, Kanye West will debut at #1 on next Tuesday’s HITS Top 50 Album Chart, surpassing 800,000 units in sales! Kanye whooped 50 by an estimated 170,000 units!

Watch out for "Kanye's BONUS TRACKS" later this week! :-p

AB

R&N - 09/14/07

Hey folks,

So... back to the VMA's...

Kanye West - No More MTV


So Kanye was upset that he didn't get to perform on the big stage... Britney did a piss poor excuse, & Justin & Timbaland performed on the big stage... I guess he felt snubbed. Especially since he didn't win any awards that night either... So MTV can kiss Kanye goodbye... I wonder if they'll promote his next album....

Anyway, this is the video of him backstage...

I mean, don't try hold this against him, but the album is STILL poppin, regardless.

Other September 11th releases

So besides Kanye & 50 came out this Tuesday, did you also know OTHER people came out that day too?
  • B5 - got that single, Hydraulics with Bow Wow

I'm thinking the only reason Diddy did it (no pun intended), was because when people pick up Kanye's or 50's album, they'll pass by B5, and they might pick it up.
  • Cupid - creator of the Cupid Shuffle

  • Kenny Chesney - that country singer

Kenny, sorry to say you're not gonna be number 1 next week... but, maybe the week after...

Tommy Lee & Kid Rock - The VMA Fight!


So, there was an altercation between Kid Rock & Tommy Lee (BOTH exes of Pamela Lee)

Here is what Tommy wrote on his own blog:

"
Yeah!! .....here I am minding my own biz having a great time with my friend Criss Angel (magician) and watching the MTV awards in the front row saying hello to all my friends......Pamela comes and sits on my lap who I love and adore....and also say hello to my friend Travis Barker and his wife!.....and i get a text from another friend P. Diddy and he says come sit with me.....and he's sitting with Miss HOT Megan FOX so I go over and sit with P!

Not a minute later and Alicia Keys starts her amazing performance....("I apologize sweetie.....I had nothing to do with the timing and disrespect")......back to the stupid-ness!!....so..... I get a tap on the shoulder from Kid Pebble...I stand up and embrace him with a semi hug and say "Hey dude...What up"?? He punches me in the face.....well if ya wanna call it that!?....more like a bitch slap!.......Wuss!! Anyway....i go to knock this jealous country bumpkin the f$%k OUT....and before I can have a meeting with my fist and his ugly ass mug ....security guards... grab me and haul my ass outta the award show!

So I'm fine and of course leave to my room with police and owner of the Palm's George Maloof......the rest is paper work and bullshit!... Anyway...... I would like to apologize to Alicia and George and MTV for the disrespectful bullshit caused by a piece of shit called Kid Pebble!!"


That's all for today. Have a great weekend...

Hey folks,

New word on the street... Kanye is outselling 50 right now... YEAH!!! What did you guys think of the album from the link? Lemme know.

Britney Spears - MTV Performance

So... MTV Awards... opening act... none other than Britney Spears...



Thoughts in the audience:
Diddy: I pray none of my new group is looking at Britney for dance tips.

50 Cent: Is this b!t*h for real?!

Rihanna talking to friend: Look girlie, that's one less woman I got to compete with in music this year. :-D

Ciara - Probably Mad About This!

Y'all probably seen this picture...


Then if you bought 50 Cent's album, you probably saw this one...


For those who don't want to particularly see where I'm going with this, I'll spare you the pics... unless you wanna click to see them...

Cover Art 2- Whoa!

Cover Art 3 - Mann!!

Keep in mind, these are NOT pics of Ciara... but you GOTTA be wondering what Ciara is thinking about in all this...

More news later...
But check out Kanye's new video... It's TIGHT!

- Kenny Chesney Tries to Compete
- B5's album came out?! :-p....
- Pamela Anderson comments about Kanye!!!

50 Tries To Sign Soulja Boy!

This is funny. Nuff said.




Jim Jones - NOT Signing to G-Unit


Ok, now I know the whole Jim Jones/G-Unit rumor seemed to be a lil' far-fetched, but I got the real deal now... Jim Jones is actually joining 50 on the 5 boroughs tour. That's all it is. According to Freekey Zeekey, Jim Jones is just a good businessman and he's doing his next album for a couple mill. If so, that's what's up.

Kanye West & 50 Cent - Song For Song!



Ok. Despite what Kanye says, there WILL be some sort of battle on 106 next Tuesday... Kanye and 50 Cent will be performing their singles from their new albums. They will even have Stuart Scott of ESPN doin' commentary.

BET's gotta be setting up ad. pricing almost to the point of SuperBowl...I'm just assuming $200,000 - $500,000 for 30 seconds. Honestly and truly, I see the ratings on 106 gonna be pretty huge. In all honesty, this is GOOD news for hip-hop.

Tony Yayo - Did He Do It?


I don't remember if I went too much into this story (probably not), but a while back, Tony Yayo was accused of slapping up Jimmy Henchman's son. Game even made a diss track, talking about the situation. Henchman is Game's manager, by the way.

Now, somewhere out the blue, somebody comes to testify that he didn't do it. Similar to how R Kelly is trying to get off, having the girl say it wasn't her in the video. Probably got paid a couple G-Units to say it never happened. That's just my view, though. What do you think? More news when it comes available.

Jay-Z & B - Wedding Bells On The Way?


According to Big J, he and Beyonce will probably be getting married soon. Possibly in Vegas... But he could be saying that to throw us off... JD/Janet and Usher/Tomeka have done plenty of that this year, lol. Guess we'll see... unless they already married. Probably not married yet, though.

Note: (You may have to be logged in, in order for the link to work.)

Anyway, now for the news:

Jim Jones - Going to G-Unit?


There is a rumor goin' around that Jim Jones may be movin' to G-Unit. That'd be hilarious. Cam'ron still has beef with 50. 50 gave props to Jim Jones. 50 interviews Jim Jones on Tha Bassment... You neva know...

I know Cam'ron will try send some shots that way, more than likely. Stories that Cam and Jones aren't cool anymore. That will be something crazy, for real...

Freeway - Album Pushed to November?


Somebody needs to really work on timing. Freeway is signed to Rocafella/Def Jam. Kanye... Def Jam... So why you got to push back Freeway album again, since he's had a single out BEFORE Kanye. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

So, I guess due to the Kanye/50 Cent clash, looks like Freeway's album got pushed back to November. I heard the story holds true for Lupe Fiasco's "Cool" album. Now Free's gotta push out another single, I think. Make it happen, Free.

Foxy Brown - Happy Birthday


Happy birthday to Foxy Brown. she turned 28 today. It sucks that she's gotta be in jail on her birthday, though. Keep ya head up, Foxy.

Hey folks,

I decided to have a break and get some rest and relaxation in. It was good stuff... Now I'm back to put you guys up on some stuff:

Rihanna - Beef With Teirra Marie & Her Father?


Does Rihanna have beef with Teirra Marie? Teirra had those 2 hot singles off Rocafella (Make Her Feel Good, No Daddy), but since then, she's fallen off... REAL bad... What happened? Anywayz, apparently she was in this magazine talking about that sitaution )since they were both on Rocafella), her father and their relationship as well as how she had to fire her marketing person.

Her father really doesn't approve of her music career, and they haven't spoken about it since she got her deal. Her marketing person was also trying to keep her as a little girl. NO MAKEUP... After doing a performance on an awards show, she got a nasty e-mail from them. So, she fired them. That's just crazy... But hey, she's VERY successful now, so I guess she's proving everyone wrong.

Lil' Kim - Ray-J and The Lambo!


So, apparently, Ray-J and Lil' Kim are going out. I find it funny after watching his Ray-J's old vid (Wait A Minute)... Anywayz, he apparently gave a Kim a $200k Lambo! So Kim is driving along, and i guess it was time for another rapper to be pulled over... Kim was caught driving without plates on the car, as well as without her license.

She claims that you don't need to have your plates visible driving in Cali. (Coorect HER if she's wrong, lol... I dunno.) And she said she left her license at home. Rumor is, she doesn't have a license... Hmm... Driving with no plates? And no license?... She JUST got out of jail! Is she goin' back in?

Irv Gotti - Foul Interview


You know, I really just thought this was a horrible rumor... but, now it's poppin' out like EVERYWHERE. Irv "The Inc" Gotti got on Wendy Williams and aired out Ashanti, talking about how he had an affair with her. Keep in mind Irv is 10 years her senior. Keywords... Viagra, Extacy, record deal...

I hope he's just trying to get some press. He's killin' Ashanti's image now. I wonder what Ashanti and her momma gonna say about this... I'll post when more news develops...
