RIHANNA TALKS “RATED R” x NOKIA CONCERT (FULL VIDEO)

Listen to Rihanna give an in-depth track by track preview of her new album Rated R. Here’s an excerpt of what she had to say about tracks “Hard” and “Stupid in Love”.

“‘Hard’ is lyrically–lyrically it’s very different from anything I’ve ever done. It’s very cocky. Um…it’s a lot of bragging Uh, on both my part and Young Jeezy’s part, but that’s the fun in the song. It’s like ‘I’m so hard’. I love it, I love performing it. As cocky as it is, it’s one of the least serious records on the album so it’s fun.”

“‘Stupid In Love’ is the first song that was written on my album. Actually Ne-Yo wrote it a couple days before the Grammy’s this year, so when we heard it was just crazy how it was like a premonition and the lyrics just made complete sense. It’s really about being blinded by love and coming to terms with that and the reality of the state of your relationship and just saying ‘This is not what I stand for. I don’t want to do this anymore. Eventhough I still love you, this relationship is stupid’.”

Check out Rated R x Nokia’s live concert this past Monday in London.

BEANIE SIGEL CONTINUES TO AIR OUT THE ROC & MOVES TO G-UNIT! WOW!

BEANIE SIGEL CONTINUES TO AIR OUT THE ROC & MOVES TO G-UNIT! WOW!

As mentioned previously, Beanie put the battery in 50 Cent’s back and now 50 Cent has officially begun a hip hop war of titans by signing Beanie Sigel to G-Unit! Check out this audio clip below of 50 Cent x Beanie Sigel on an interview with Power 99. The newly BFF’s confirm the new deal as Beanie continues to air out Jay-Z and the Roc.

From the moment I heard Beanie running his mouth on these interviews praising G-Unit and 50 Cent, it was pretty much a given a deal was set in order. Right now 50 Cent needs this publicity to up the ante and promote Before I Self Destruct, but will singing Beanie Sigel be the ticket to platinum status for 50 Cent. Is this checkers or chess? As for Beanie Sigel, I dunno. I can’t say if this is good move or a major fail on his part? Guess we’ll have to see how the game is played going forward. But you gotta give it to Fif for keeping things interesting. People need to understand this music industry is a billion industry…that’s why it’s called a business, never personal, just business.
On another note, can you just imagine 50 Cent x Beanie Sigel on a track…MONSTER TRACK! WHOA!
Should Jay-Z be worried? I mean Beans did say “He is a crumb. I’m gonna put my foot on his neck until he responds. Please make a record, ’cause a week been out dog…I’m not taking nothing from Jay-Z as an artist. He ain’t no walk in the park as an artist, all I’m saying is I don’t got a job to keep up to him. That’s all I’m saying!”

BEANIE SIGEL TO JAY-Z: “YOU DON’T LEAVE YOUR SQUAD HANGING IN THE WIND!…”

BEANIE SIGEL TO JAY-Z: “YOU DON’T LEAVE YOUR SQUAD HANGING IN THE WIND!…”

Beanie Sigel compares his situation with Jay-Z to the hood flick, New Jack City…some powerful metaphors! Beanie makes it clear “What You Talking About (Average Cat)” is NOT a diss record to Jay-Z, but rather his form of communicating to his brother which he still has loves for. All he wants to do is talk it out…man to man. So if Jay-Z doesn’t respond to him with a call or a track, trust their will be a rebuttal, not my words but Beans. Listen to part 1…

THOUGHTS?!
Sidebar: Loyalty is a bitch in this game…once they get on and get that money, there’s no telling!

JAY-Z RESPONDS TO BEANIE SIGEL’S DISS…

JAY-Z RESPONDS TO BEANIE SIGEL’S DISS…

Jay-Z addressed his former employee, Beans and his diss the other at a Montreal press conference…WOW!

“Beanie Sigel, to be honest and you can look it up, just to be honest…was driving two Bentleys. I don’t know how. Its impossible to drive two cars at the same time. With his momma in the sticks, selling 800,000. I don’t know what more you can do for somebody. What people choose to do when they obtain that type of success, at some point you gotta look in the mirror and look at yourself. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label and a clothing line…and never went platinum. Ever. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. So, I don’t know what more can you do for a person at that point. A record deal – that’s normal. A record label and a clothing line. If that’s not pushing the person…shit.”

BEANIE SIGEL TALKS JAY-Z AND NEW “DISS” RECORD…WHOA!

BEANIE SIGEL TALKS JAY-Z AND NEW “DISS” RECORD…WHOA!

On Beanie’s new record “What You Talkin’ About (Average Cat)”, the Roc member is now taking shots at his mentor Hov…what in the dipset mess is going on here?! Apparently Beanie needed to vent and get some things off his chest about Jay-Z and his “whole ‘nother” level shenanigans. Did you know Jay-Z got security & cops to run Beanie from one his concerts? And that hasn’t spoken to Hov since the last two years?…WOW!

Take note of Beanie showing respect to the G-Unit camp…all b/c 50 Cent made sure his dudes got paid.
@3:35-4:00 mark: “I love the way 50 did with his dawgs. If you look at it, them dudes got more money and more bread than anybody in State Property. Cuz 50 made sure of that. 50 went on tour AND paid them. Not tell them it was a good look for them to be on the tour and things like that. True story, I’m sitting on house arrest and the Young Gunz call my phone cuz Jay-Z is only paying them $1200 a show. And they had to split it.”

Hollywood is gonna love Jay-Z no matter what, but what the hood?

IS THE END OF JAY-Z’S STREET CRED?!

Sidenote: This sh*t just hit the fan…this about to get REALLY UGLY!!!

CHRIS BROWN OPENS UP TO ANGIE MARTINEZ…

CB, who kicks off his “fan appreciation” tour Nov. 14, says he feels that he let a lot of people down, especially kids that looked up to him.

“I regret every second of it,” he told Martinez. “I’m human. Of course you’re gonna have your thoughts and opinions. I’m not gonna say they’re wrong. But at the end of the day, it’s not right to judge someone. People make mistakes all the time.”

Since attending his domestic violence courses, Brown says he is “certain [this will never happen again]. I’ve seen the pain people have been through and I don’t want to inflict that anymore.”

He added, “At the end of the day, I’m sorry for what I did, whatever it is. Only me and Shorty know what went down in the car, it’s between us.”

JAY-Z DEFENDS “KID BROTHER” KANYE…

“He’s a just super passionate person…it was rude…he didn’t kill anyone. It was just how he really felt, but it was inappropriate.”
I understand what he saying but he needs to check himself on his passion and learn to know when its appropriate to express it…I’m just saying.
ARE YOU SURPRISED BY JAY-Z’S RESPONSE?!

THE GAME QUESTIONS JAY-Z’S MANHOOD!

THE GAME QUESTIONS JAY-Z’S MANHOOD!

Here’s a word of advice to any rapper, do yourself a favor and don’t ever mention The Game’s name in your rhymes or else you’re in for a never-ending battle. The Game continues his assault on Jay-Z and apparently things have gotten much worse after Jay-Z called him a groupie in a recent interview with U.K.’s Tim Westwood. As a response to Jay’s groupie claim, The Game made it clear during a recent interview with The Boodah Brothers on Virginia’s 103 Jamz that he’s probably the only rapper besides Nas who isn’t afraid to go toe to toe with Jay-Z. The Game believes that Jay-Z is getting old and needs to step down so that the new cats in the game can eat too.

“Jay’s problem is that some people just don’t want to get old. He got a problem like my dad got that problem. My dad, he just still trying to be young, like, rockin’ fitted caps, and I’m like, ‘Pops, you 60. You gotta chill.’ Jay got that problem. He don’t want to get old. It’s cool to get old. But a lot of people have that problem, especially when they don’t have children. But he don’t got no children. I don’t know what’s up with that. Maybe he ain’t fertile.”

Does The Game have a point?!
