Written on Saturday, December 2nd, 2006 by Hon Daddy Dad :: 0 comments to this post

Some Def Jam artists, from LL Cool J to Nore have been hollering about the Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, comeback Kingdom Come.

As LL Cool J Todd Smith said:

“How am I gonna re-sign with competition? I’m not an idiot,” LL Cool J told MTV. “I can’t depend on that man (Jay-Z) to promote my record while he’s somewhere writing rhymes.” (LL Cool J is teaming with 50 cent on his last Def Jam Album)

Young Jeezy isn’t fazed:

“Everybody got their lane. This industry is a highway and everybody got their lane and me and Jay ain’t in the same lane,” Young Jeezy told AllHipHop.com. “I don’t feel what he’s doing is interfering with what I’m doing. We do two different types of music for two different types of movements. Real n***as are glad he’s back.”

Written on Thursday, April 20th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: 0 comments to this post

Prince and Cam collide in a new mixtape currently hittin the streets titled, “A Prince in Harlem” . The Tapemasters are responsible for the ill collabo which features guest appearances from DipSet’s Juelz Santana & Jim Jones, Big Pun, N.O.R.E., Jadakiss & Styles P. John Shotti from the Tapemasters is responsible for the production of the mix which prepares the streets for the up-town legend’s up-coming Album, Killa Season, which drops May 16 accompanied by a film of the same title.
The Disc is diverse in content, Princes’ classics melt into Cam’s witty wordplay and paints an eclectic portrait of his Harlem Chronicles. Princes’ ” Kiss”, “When Doves Cry” and “Pussy Control” (a version which is chopped and screwed) all stand out as heavy rotation material. This effort is similar to the DangerMouse/Jay-Z “Grey Album” which recieved widespread appraisal and established DM’s Career. Could This Joint stir the hype for the style kings, Killa and Prince?

Power 105.1 Get A Clue and Flip The Switch

Written on Sunday, April 9th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: 1 comments to this post

DJ Clue has the Power. The 105 Power to be exact. The Platinum selling Roc-a-fella signed Clue, responsible for “The Professional” Mixtape Series will be hosting the 6-10pm weeknight slot in direct competition with Hot 97’s Funk Master Flex. Clue began at Hot97 in the early 90’s establishing his career with the Roc/Def Jam.
That should keep the airwaves flowin. Clue bring the Mixtape DJ credibility from the streets as well as many well established links to well known HipHop Artists such as Fabolous, Mariah Carey, Jadakiss, Snoop Dogg, Jay-z, MOP and Mobb Deep just to name a few. Dj Clue is also the CEO of Desert Storm Records which is home to F-A-B-O as well as Joe Budden.

Many believe that this move could elevate the DJ’s Career further by heating up the airwave competition. His new “Professional” Album is due in June and has been long awaited. The New Yorker has recieved much fame from his hosting duties on MTV’s Direct Effect. Clue was impressed with Nate Bell of Power 105 stating “[Nate] knows that I try to be the voice of the streets” Word is that Bell is extatic that Clue’s joinin’ his team, and feels that it will definately take the station to an higher standard.

Fat Joe’s Reaction to JAY-Z signing NAS to DefJam

Written on Wednesday, February 15th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: 0 comments to this post

Terror Squad’s Don, Joey Crack Aka Fat Joe (Born Joeseph Cartegena) was shocked at the news of Jay-z signing Nas to DefJam.

“I used to look up to Nas a lot,” Fat Joe told MuchNews. “And I don’t even really respect what he did.

How do you become a friend to a person who disrespects your baby’s mother?

It’s too much ugliness. I almost died, as a hip hop fan, when I heard they were together.”

The well publicised feud between Nas and Jigga sparked an epic battle/dis of tracks such as Nas’s burna “Either” and Hova’s “Takeover”. Egos, Baby-mother’s and Career adgenda’s amongst other issues were responsible for the beef.

Jay-Z’s Worst Kept Secret Revealed: Comeback Album In The Works

Written on Tuesday, February 14th, 2006 by Jerry Lewis :: 0 comments to this post

In a recent issue for men’s magazine Playboy Kanye West has revealed that he will be producing for Jay-Z’s new album.

For those in the know this will come as no surprise, whilst getting his CEO game on he has been quietly conceiving ideas for a new album of his own.

Personally i would expect all of the usual suspects to be present including, Dr Dre, Just Blaze and the aforementioned Kanye West.

Whilst being “retired” he has constantly rejected any talk of a comeback, yet he has released joint projects with Linkin Park, R Kelly and has featured on tracks with Teairra Mari, T.I, Young Jeezy and Mariah Carey.

My tip is that he will resurface under the “Shaun Carter” moniker.

There is talk of the album coming out in June this year.
