Game Speaks On The R.E.D. Album, Battle Rhymes, & More (Video)
August 8, 2011
I like the way Game handled himself in these interviews while speaking on his new album, dealing with friends in & out of the business, & dropping battle rhymes like those in “Uncle Otis” record among other topics. Often times I feel the interviewers asking the questions in the media are partly responsible for the negative feedback, perceptions, & gossip that occurs with artists. More video under the hood…..

Game – Uncle Otis (Jay-Z Diss?)
July 22, 2011
Saw a lot of people not happy with this diss track on my twitter timeline. I’m not mad at it though. He said a few things I tend to agree with, but on the other hand the Game releasing a diss record is about as original as bologna on white bread. In a story at XXL he now says its not a diss song.

Beanie Sigel Speaks On Delays With New Music & Says He Never Apologized For How He Felt About Jay-Z (Video)
June 27, 2011
When many of these so-called journalists were reporting that Beanie Sigel apologized to Jay-Z I knew for a fact that was incorrect. Go back & check my twitter page if you need to about what I said when that news came out, but a street cat like Beanie Sigel will not apologize for how he really feels on a situation. If anything Beanie Sigel was apologizing to his fans & supporters in the street. Check out this interview with DJ Green Lantern where Beans talks about why he doesn’t release alot of new music like many artists do, the new music on the way, & clears up the misreported statements about him apologizing to Jay-Z.

Studio Sessions: Jay Electronica – The Making Of Act II (Video)
March 7, 2011
It was reported not too long ago that Jay Electronica went to South Africa not only for inspiration, but to record his upcoming debut album on Roc Nation. Unless you’ve been living under a “Roc”….Jay Electronica signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label last year & fans have been patiently waiting for the project. In the video we have here Jay Electronica lets the fans in on some of the recording process down there in the beautiful country of South Africa. The young lady he’s featuring in the video goes by the name of LaTonya Givens & she seems like she has some real earthy soul. That’s wasup!
