Does Kanye Deserve his Awards?

July 4th, 2008

So we all know Kanye the Diva, and how that might be playing into awards show nods, but I found this online.. Something for you production-minded individuals.

Maybe Kanye deserved the most recent BET nods, as well as others that recognize him for the ‘Graduation’. The video reveals that Stronger was mixed 11+ times, with Yeezy going back and remixing the drums an additional time with Timbaland when he didn’t like how the kick drums sounded on the radio..

Now thats striving for perfection.. or being anal as hell. (How many times did Soulja Boy mix Crank Dat?… lol… he needed to get that ‘YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!’ right)

Either way its real cool to see these production titans bullshit about drums and figure things out. ENJOY.

50 CENT And T.I. Beef Is Looming…..

July 2nd, 2008

50 Cent neither confirms or denies that he dissed T.I. in G-Unit’s track “You So Tough”:

He didn’t say T.I.’s name — but the general consensus by hip-hop fans, journalists and bloggers is that 50 Cent took a jab at the King of the South on the G-Unit’s album cut “You So Tough.” Fif’s alleged implication about Tip? The unbelievable: that T.I. is a snitch who’s working with the authorities to get a lighter prison sentence. On the record, which appears on the Unit’s new Terminate on Sight LP, 50 raps “Nowadays this rap sh– ain’t adding up/ How n—-s get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months/ Oowee, don’t talk to me/ You talk to him, you talking to them.”

“I got the best lawyers that money can buy,” 50 rapped on Monday, finishing his verse for MTV News, alongside Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks. “They say at best they would’ve got me 10 or maybe nine/ I said, ‘How do you explain how homie breezed?’ They said, ‘You keep your mouth shut or you eat the cheese.’ ”

Of course, everyone is inferring that 50 was talking about Tip’s recent legal woes. Charged with a slew of gun-possession charges, the Atlanta rapper would have faced a severe sentence if he had gone to trial and been found guilty. However, with a plea bargain, T.I. is only expected to do a year in prison, starting his sentence sometime in 2009.

Back to the question at hand: Is the “him” Fif was referring to T.I.? “[It’s] absolutely for the public to decide,” 50 said. “My intentions — you know me, you know my MO — I would just say something. It’s not really directed at him. It’s me taking real-life situations. These things are relevant to hip-hop, period. I make something that’s interesting enough for people to sink their teeth into, and I move forward.”

20 People Show Up To A Young Buck Show

July 2nd, 2008

This past Thursday, at Fur Nightclub in Washington D.C., Buck’s first performance since the debacle, only 20 people showed. SMH. Talk about a full house, sheesh! LOL.

The promoters weren’t hospitable, making Buck pay for his own hotel room. Talk about tough. Prior to the show, he was paid half of the money, and was to get the remainder at show time, did he get it? Of course not. Buck didn’t even perform that night. He was supposed to do another show tonight, but the promoter left him with all the bills.

His entourage wasn’t allowed in Fur. The club said that they weren’t dressed properly. Buck was the only one that could have on athletic wear. Unless his hype man or DJ paid to get in, Buck would’ve been a one man band. I’m sure this wouldn’t have gone down like this if he were still affiliated with G-Unit, who coincidentally was also in town promoting their new album T.O.S.

BET Awards 2008 Review

July 1st, 2008

First of all, T-Pain was absolutely everywhere during the Awards, performing in multiple sets and getting recognition from everywhere… Even Kanye tipped his hat to him (and then some), when he and Pain went on stage for accepting his award for “Good Life”… T-Pain proceeded to the stage in slow motion for some reason. Meanwhile, Kanye amongst his asskissing, also cleverly snuck in that he’s ‘king, and what he says matters’…
