OK, so now what y’all got to say? Lil Wayne sat down and talked to VH1 exclusively, and he had this to say about the DJ Drama/DJ Cannon arrest that took place last week here in Atlanta.



He tells VH1:

"You gotta do it right. It's gonna be a message. [The authorities] ain't playing. They gonna make an example. They gonna straighten the game out. A lot of companies take a fall with those mixtapes. N---as be caking up off them mixtapes. The artists can drop his album — and everybody knows that hip-hop [album sales are in] decline — nobody ain't gonna buy the album, and everybody gets the mixtapes off of the Internet or whatever way they get it. The artists ain't caking, but the n---a you made the mixtape with is caking up. Thank God I ain't got that problem, but I know a lot of people who do."

My boi from hiphopruckus.com had this to say about the Lil Wayne’s comments.

Sounds sort of hypocritical coming from Lil Wayne, since he has been featured in several mixtapes for which I think have catapulated his career, so to speak. But in a sense I do agree with him that there are also those DJ out there that use his material without his permission and from that aspect of the game, the authorities should crack down. But what about the other side of the coin...what does that do to that unsigned artists that's trying to make a new for himself on the street do now? Does he keep getting rejected by these major record labels? If it wasn't for the mixtape circuit several MCs like Papoose, Yo Gotti, Slim Thug, etc...would have never been discovered or be at the status there are at. Hmm!! To me, The recent crackdown on DJ Drama and Cannon is just another way for these record labels "force the hand" and make it tougher for the "Little Man" , that being MCs and DJs, to make it independently in this Hip Hop Game!! You do the math!

I’ve already said what I had to say about the situation. Y’all called me a hater, and a dumb muthafucker who don’t rep ATL right. So at this point, I will just post what otha kats in the game have to say. To be contiuned....

I don't know what he was thinking when he made this but it don't get know worse than this.

Watch the clip here

update on this:Mike Jones claims he is not the guy in the tape

He sent a message to Sohh.com about the video:

According to Sohh.com

"[Editor's note: Mike Jones gave SOHH this statment concerning the video: "It's unfortunate that people use the internet to spread untrue rumors that are harmful to people on a personal and professional level. At no time in my life has a sex tape been made on me. And if you look closely you will see that that man is not me. Where are the tattoos? I have them all over my arms, hands, neck, everywhere. My mission is about uplifting people especially kids, The American Dream. I wouldn't be surprised if more lies and scandal came out because my album is about to be released. I normally wouldn't have given this type of thing any time of day but with the internet things get blown out of proportion and I have to address it. A note to my fans: Don't believe everything you see or hear on the internet."

atlmuzikfanzinc-I would deny this if I performed like that,too.

We all recall Mary J. Blige's public expression of disgust about her previous Vibe cover in December 2005. It was during the Vibe Awards that our girl from Yonkers kept it real while on stage receiving the magazine's coveted VLegend Award.

Since Mary is all renewed and enlightened, and Mimikins is no longer spinning webs over @ 215, Mary happily graces the cover of Vibe's "150th Collector's Edition Issue."



Thank God they got rid of that bubbly font! But they went overboard on the cover lines.

GOOD LOOK ALL AROUND!

Mary and her eight Grammy nominations will help move this issue on the newsstands.

Kudos to Vibe for getting it right. Those last few covers have been less than delicious... but this shit makes my mouth water.

Heard about it here, copped the image from here. Shout out to the Loop!

And speaking of magazine covers... don't sleep on Jennifer Hudson's Essence cover.



Thoughts?

It’s good to see that the “King of The South’s’ success hasn’t gone to his head. With millions of records sold, his own record label, multiple accolades, and a pretty decent night club in Bankhead—“Club Crucial”, its good see that T.I. is still holding down his original chick, former member of Xscape—Tiny.

My homegirl, Sandra Rose (who runs the popular photography/and celebrity news website Sandrarose.com) spoke to Tiny’s mother and exclusively and has found out the following information.

Firstly, Tiny is pregnant and the baby is due in June!! She doesn't know the sex of the baby but she said Tiny and T.I. are ecstatic. The couple plans to marry after the baby arrives so they are looking at a July date for the wedding.

While details surround the time and venue of the marriage are currently under wraps, believe me when I tell you that somebody will open there mouths and blab their shit to somebody who will then inform us. Not that I care or anything. You know come to think of it, I’ve never been to wedding. Damn, how is that possible?!? Oh well I digress

Another thing Tiny wants everybody to know is that Xscape will NOT be reuniting. It will never happen. Apparently LaTocha Scott registered the name Xscape without the knowledge of the other members. That shady move has inevitably ruined any hopes that the group would reunite and make some hot R&B music.

Don’t act like you don’t remember Xscape. They had a string of hits in the 90’s. Here is one of my most favorite songs they did.

Yo before bounce today, tell me somethng, do you like the two posts a day? Also dont forget

Ha. The hate is thick in SOHH NYC! I love it.

But we're not discussing the starving souls from the Motherland or the malnutritioned entourage that follows.



Just when I was thinking of giving President Bush another lashing for being the grandson of his Nazi grandfather (Hitler's "sidekick"), Prescott Bush, the government has served the public with a fair warning which basically says that bloggers running off at the fingers better fall back (via Rizoh):

"You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was some new restriction on free speech in Communist China. But it isn't. The U.S. Government wants to force bloggers and online grassroots activists to register and regularly report their activities to Congress in the latest astounding attack on the internet and the First Amendment.

Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of GrassrootsFreedom.com, a website dedicated to fighting efforts to silence grassroots movements, states:

"Section 220 of S. 1, the lobbying reform bill currently before the Senate, would require grassroots causes, even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more members of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress the same as the big K Street lobbyists. Section 220 would amend existing lobbying reporting law by creating the most expansive intrusion on First Amendment rights ever. For the first time in history, critics of Congress will need to register and report with Congress itself."

Under current law any 'lobbyist" who 'knowingly and willingly fails to file or report." quarterly to the government faces criminal charges including a possible jail term of up to one year.

The amendment is currently on hold.

This latest attack on bloggers comes hot on the heels of Republican Senator John McCain's proposal to introduce legislation that would fine blogs up to $300,000 for offensive statements, photos and videos posted by visitors on comment boards."

They can do this? No way. They can't do this. America is known for Freedom of Speech. But it appears, slowly but surely, as if the land of the "free" is becoming yet another dictatorship. This is not a good look.


Hmmm, he does look kinda like Whoopi.


Aight Vicodin. I thought I was the only one who had enough of the Little Black Elf but it seems as if Tru Life had some verbal ammunition ready to unleash (via Str8hiphop from Hiphopgame):

"Tell 'Whoopi Goldberg' to go work on "Sister Act 3" or keep hosting the "Apollo." Don't get it fucked up. We run New York. Even though Weezy Goldberg might have been comfortable running with the pink banging bunnies, that era is over. This is our city."

Lmao. Holla at Cic for more clips from the interview. Lmfao the kid Tru is a comedian.

This is a petition for RnB recording artist Monica, to release a third single. The Makings of Me is one of most solid RnB CDs released in a long time. The sales and acknowledgment of the CD could greatly improve with the release of a third single. We do feel it is important to release music that will be successful, so with that being said, the opinions the general public does matter tremendously. Online polls are great avenues to get the views of the listeners. We are asking J Records to allow Monica to release and record a video for “Sideline Ho” as the third single from The Makings Of Me.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

TO HELP MONICA CONVINCE J RECORDS TO RELEASE "SIDELINE HO" SIGN THE PETITION TODAY, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF ALL THE VISIT THIS SITE DO SO EVEN IF YOUR NOT REALLY A FAN OF MONICA.
