Rap/Hip Hop nieuws en discussie

The Game heeft 50 cent echt niet nodig, luister maar naar The Black Wall Street Journal Volume 1, ik vind die nummers die daar op staan echt wel goed.

Ik zeg ook niet dat zonder 50, Game geen goede nummers maakt.. Ik vond hem de tijd dat hij bij G-Unit zat gewoon veel beter..

[LBG]

Mwa ik merk zelf niet zoveel verschil. Maar in de tijd dat hij bij G-Unit zat heeft hij eigenlijk niet zoveel gedaan, hij heeft zowat alleen dat album gemaakt. Ik denk dat The Doctor's Advocate beter wordt dan The Documentary.

Je kan eigenlijk nog niet zeggen dat hij in de tijd dat hij in G-Unit zat beter was, omdat je het eigenlijk nog niet echt met iets kan vergelijken.

Dat denk ik nou juist niet.. De Dre beats blijven altijd iets speciaal op een album vind ik.. Het word wel een goed album denk ik, maar kan denk ik net niet tippen aan The Documentary..

[LBG]

De beats mogen dan mischien wat minder zijn (ook al maken Nu Jerzey Devil en Dj. Skee ook echt goede beats), maar Game is lyricaal echt sterk verbeterd door die beefs.

[willemV]

Beefs zorgen inderdaad voor veel inspiratie, ook voor The Game(300 Bars and runnin is een zwaar goede diss)Maar ik vind de beats wel zwak, hij heeft Dre dus wel hard nodig.

[LBG]

Ik vind de beats nog wel goed. Maar de beats van 300 bars zijn beats van andere liedjes.

Ik vind de beats nog wel goed. Maar de beats van 300 bars zijn beats van andere liedjes.

Dat is vaak bij de meeste diss tracks..

Btw hier een interview met Game's broer, Big Fase Hunned.. Waarin hij oa. zegt wie Game's ketting heeft gejat, dat hij geen echte Blood is etc:

When KING Magazine caught up with the Game in the November issue, he was more than willing to open up about his feelings towards G-Unit, Dr. Dre and his career. But when it came to the beef with his older brother, Big Fase Hunned, the man who helped raise him in the streets and the rap industry, the Game was mum.

In an exclusive interview with KING-MAG.com, Big Fase Hunned finally decides to give his side of he and his brother’s falling out. If anything, the tattoo of an excerpt from The Bible’s book of Genesis 4:6, (“My Brother’s Keeper”) located on Big Fase’s neck is a testament to the magnitude of their sibling rivalry. “I look at my tattoo’s as trophies,” says Fase. “All my tattoos mean something. I never had to cover nothing up and I never will.” Now with a new label, Brazil Street Records, which just signed a million dollar deal with Sony, Big Fase Hunned is ready to clear the air on what went down between he and the Game and why he is wiping his hands clean of old blood.

King-mag.com: When did things go bad between you and your brother?

Big Fase: I went on a seven week tour with Game and he told me I would earn $2,000 dollars a show. He’s getting probbally $30k at the time, I’m not tripping. That’s cool with me. I don’t care what you make. So I’ll say it was about, it was a seven week tour. We had about five shows a week, I figure I probbally come home with about $50-$60 thousand dollars. I came home with about $12 thousand dollars.

But it ain’t all about the Benjamins, right?

[in Vegas] I left him an email saying basically, ‘Respect to me is everything to me and you don’t just lose respect for somebody unless they give you a reason to. I don’t see a lot of respect from you anymore or the people that we surround ourselves with. So before I am disrespected by you, I will just go home and be who I am…I don’t have to be a part of your show no more.’

And what he did he say in response?

The response I got was, “Have a safe trip.” Regardless to that long ass shit I sent, saying about respect, and all this heartfelt shit, all I got was, ‘Have a safe trip’. So I flew my ass home and basically I’ve been here ever since.

What was your official position with him?

Nobody had a position. Basically every time I got at him about that it would be like, “Man Black Wall Street is something we building, we not rushing…and you bound to be the president of this company.” I mean the nigga could have easily dumped me off to anybody at the height of his shit and say, here give my brother a job.

When was the last time you talked to the Game?

He supposedly started some shit called Bad Seed Entertainment. I got a good six—eight little niggas I fuck with on this rap shit. One of their names was Bad Seed, so he catches [my former artist] Life at his store, snatched his Black Wall Street chain off him, and beat the shit out of him. Game finds out the chain got took and out of a good eight months of never comin’ back to Brazil Street, Game hit my corner. Jayceon would have hit the corner for my kid’s birthdays, Christmas, something like that. But because he’s “The Game” and he’s stuck in this rap shit, he hit this corner comin’ over here to smash and get the chain back. He approaches me with his hand out. I crossed my arms and I said, “It’s a lot that needs to be said before I can do that.” That sent our conversation into oblivion because he didn’t really want to talk—he felt like “The Game” had been disrespected.

What about accusations Game made that some of the Black Wall Street employees were taking advantage of him by misusing his website and trying to make money behind his back?

We started the website before my brother knew anything about computers. [We thought] Aftermath got you sittin’ there, we can make this website called BlackWallStreet.com and we can pump you up with mixtapes, develop fan base, sell merchandise, things of that nature. That’s what we did, me and G-Ride started that. We had a clothing deal set up for the G-Unot shit, as crazy as it sounds. [We] were sitting here alone one day, when my boy knocked on the door and showed us sketches of G-Unot shit, all hooked up. Game told the dude to holler at G-Ride and go. A couple months later Game is in NY and he emails me talking about, ‘I’m up in this store and this man asks me about G-Unot clothes. I tell him it’s not even in production yet and he gives me a catalog.’ He started on some, ‘G-Unot is my company and Black Wall Street is my company what are yall trying to do? Yall tryin’ to rob me?’ So he smashed that deal down. I have never been able to middleman a single thing off this nigga name without having to sit around and ask for something. I aint the type of nigga to just sit around and ask for a handout. I need to earn my keep.

The new single, “One Blood” is hot right now. How do you feel about his success and growth as an artist?

Cool song. I mean my brother is one of the best artists out there; I’ll give him that. I watched something where he said the shit was not about gang bangin’ “One Blood” was basically about family. Well nigga, it’s not about Blood, cause you’re not really one and its not about family because you don’t know nothing about that. I feel like the Taylor family, my dads name, it’s a good family but its been through a lot. With his success he had the power to change the direction our family was headed in and he didn’t do nothing but make shit more fucked up. That’s basically what he did with my neighborhood too. He’s got niggas basically hypnotized with this money.

How did you feel when you heard about the truce he called with 50 Cent?

It solidified my thoughts that I lost my brother to this rap shit. Jayceon was searching for who he was and at the same time he has not found who he is in life. He was able to run into a nice sum of money with this rap thing and create a character that he has, from my estimation, got trapped in and forgot the other side of. When he wakes up he’s the Game, when he goes to sleep he’s the Game. It’s no more Jayceon. That’s why it would be relevant for him to want to squash a beef with a 50 Cent rather than his father, his brother, or his sister.

You’ve started your own company. I noticed the logo is similar to the Black Wall Street logo.

Brazil and Wilmington is the movement but the company is Brazil Street Records. Big Fase Hunned my name, the studio equipment, the artists that were left, the street itself was something that [Game] put on the bottom of his shoe. This has always been my home, not his. I went a step further with the B, because I do have it tattooed on my skin and being the first person to actually do that; besides him, I just felt like I just could. It is nothing he created.

And now you’re holding an auction on MySpace to get rid of all of your Black Wall Street paraphernalia.

What he’s saying in everything I’m reading is, ‘I don’t have a brother.’ Before I did the Allhiphop.com interview he sent a young kid to come get my chain and my car. So those things are worthless to me. So lets give a MySpace auction with these things he tried to pull back from me. The car, all that shit means nothing to me. The Black Wall Street chain I’ve got put up. I won’t wear the pendent at all. It’s like a high school football trophy, but you’re thirty years old and you look back at it and smile. But it’s hard to smile at it now. If I want to smile at something I’ll smile at the tattoo that I can’t take off

Ik heb vroeger wel eens op AIM gepraat met Big Fase, vlak voor de beef. Toen zei hij altijd dat Game en hij nog nooit ruzie hebben gehad. Na de beef heb ik 1 keer gepraat met Nu Jerzey Devil en hij snapte er geen ene reet van, hij dacht zelf dat het gewoon een grote publiciteitsstunt was. Maar Big Fase is niet echt The Game's broer, hij is zijn stiefbroer.

Lil Eazy-E Tekent Bij BlackGround

Eric ‘Lil' Eazy-E’ Wright, de zoon van overleden rapper Eazy-E, hoopt deel uit te maken van de volgende rapgeneratie van Compton, Californië. En, hij is overduidelijk onderweg.

De 22-jarige rapper behaalde onlangs een deal bij het platenlabel Blackground/Universal en is momenteel bezig met de voorbereidingen van zijn album ‘Prince of Compton’.

Lil' Eazy-E, die 10 jaar oud was toen zijn vader overleed, zegt op zijn album onder andere samen te werken met Timbaland, Dr. Dre, DJ Yella en Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Hij hoopt dat zijn album Compton represent, wat neerkomt op veel pure gangstarap. Compton is de geboorteplaats van onder andere NWA, MC Eiht en The Game.

“Ik ben echt en ik hou het echt”, vertelt Lil' Eazy-E over zijn vertegenwoordiging van Compton. “The Game heeft hierin duidelijk gefaald, hij represent Compton niet op de juiste manier. Ik doe wat ik moet doen.”

Het album ‘Prince of Compton’, ligt volgend jaar in de winkel.

Eazy E is toch doodgegaan aan aids?

Eazy E is toch doodgegaan aan aids?

Dat is inderdaad zo. Zie deze pagina. In het artikel gaat het over de zoon van Eazy-E.

Fabolous in het ziekenhuis met schotwonden:

Rapper Fabolous is dinsdag in zijn been geschoten. Hij stond in New York buiten een restaurant te wachten toen een onbekende man op hem afkwam en in z'n dij schoot. Fabolous en drie andere mannen vluchtten in een auto en werd door de politie gestopt toen ze door rood licht reden. Daarna werden ze gearresteerd omdat ze twee geladen wapens bij zich hadden. De rapper ligt nu in het ziekenhuis.

Damn hij heeft geluk gehad.

Die vent die had geschoten had ik ook net zo goed een waan actie gedaan en hem door 't hoofd geschoten.

Hadden we weer een goeie rapper verloren.

INTERVIEW XZIBIT, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

With seemingly everyone under the sun throwing the word “young” in front of their name or stealing the alias of an old mob boss, one could argue that the originality of rap monikers took a nosedive right along with record sales. If nothing else, you’ve got to give Xzibit credit for picking a name that’s original and actually fits. After all, an exhibit is a public showing—and if being in the rap game for over a decade and being broadcast into millions of homes doesn’t constitute a public showing, what does? Even in its more abbreviated form, “X,” which represents the unknown, the name still works. Think about it, do we really know who Xzibit is?

One minute he’s rattling off one-liners while the rest of the crew at G.A.S. is dropping $50,000 worth of custom accessories on Lawanna’s beat up VW Beetle. Is he the tattooed and khaki-clad Cali resident whose career was almost derailed by an encounter with an empty liquor bottle thrown at the speed of a baseball? Wasn’t he the one on Dr. Dre’s album, or was he lending his vocal assistance to Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister? Yes, yes and yes.

You see, if nothing else, Mr. Alvin Nathaniel Joyner is a businessman. After all, did you really think it was a coincidence that all those expensive flip-down TV’s on Pimp My Ride just so happen to be playing Xzibit videos? X is banking on the fact that everyone will see the picture clearer on October 17, when he drops his sixth studio album, Full Circle. His record label and outlook may have changed, but one thing remains the same. What you see is what you get.

AllHipHop.com: We all remember you coming into the game with King T and Tha’ Alkaholiks. What’s your relationship with your former Likwit Crew partners these days?

Xzibit: I deal with the O.G.; King T is on my new record. As far as I’m concerned he started that whole movement. He’s the one that helped start Tha’ Alkaholiks. That sound started with him and Tha’ Alkaholiks and then E-Swift stepped in and took it to another level. Those were the first guys I knew with record deals. Whatever has been put out in the media as far as them not feeling me or whatever, s**t, that is what it is. I would never say anything negative about my homies, ever. I’m not a dude that talks.

J-Ro moved over to Sweden, I haven’t talked to Rico [Tash] in a minute, and E-Swift is in Los Angeles, I believe. King T comes to kick it, though. I know his family, I know his kids and they all come hang out with me and my kids. I have close contact with King T, and he’s on my record.

AllHipHop.com: Dr. Dre, executive produced your two best selling albums. You’ve been shouted out by 50 Cent and had a cameo in 8 Mile with Eminem. Did you ever consider signing to Aftermath?

Xzibit: You’ve gotta remember, I’ve been doing work with Aftermath and Interscope since the days of “B*tch Please” and The Chronic 2001, so I was never an Aftermath artist, and I never signed to Interscope. There were talks about doing that, but with the label I was on at the time [sony], I guess negotiations always fell through. My relationship with Dre has always been solid. My work ethic is what led to him asking me to be on Chronic 2001 and be on “B*tch Please” with Snoop. These were all calls that were made by Snoop Dogg and Dre and then that led into the relationship with Marshall and whatnot. If I ever wanted to go over there, that would be the ideal place, but it never happened.

Now, I wouldn’t want to go sign another artist deal. I feel like things I’ve done with them have spoken well and represented for what they were. I learned a lot and I’ve gained a lot from working with those guys and I feel like there’s nothing that can take away from that. I still feel like it’s important for me to stand on my own.

AllHipHop.com: People generally sign to Koch for one of two reasons: a concession that they have a smaller, yet consistently loyal fan base or as a set up for the next major label situation. Which category do you fit in?

Xzibit: I’m actually setting up to make a powerhouse centered around Open Bar Entertainment. Whether that is for a major or if I stay independent, I don’t know. I have to make that decision after we get this record out. For me, it feels better to have the brunt and the majority of work in my hands. It’s more gratifying knowing that the brunt and the majority of the profits are coming back to me.

I know that after ten years in Hip-Hop and being signed to a major, being in that loop and going through that machine, I really now have both the fan base and I still have the music the drive and desire to do [it]. But, the motivation is different, so I’ll probably stay independent.

AllHipHop.com: Did you ever feel that your former label was trying to pigeonhole you based on Pimp My Ride or your relationship with Dre?

Xzibit: Well, see, the thing with Sony is they’re a juggernaut company. What you have to understand is that [Loud] got absorbed into Sony. It’s not like I went over there and that was my ideal place to launch Xzibit. I was only familiar with Nas being on Sony, and I had never heard him say anything positive about Sony. I didn’t know what to expect. You’ve gotta remember, I had just came off of doing Restless, which sold two million out of the gate, that was my best selling record. After that we came with Man vs. Machine and Sony, thinking that they would know what to do. But, you can’t bypass the street. That’s where Xzibit fans were born and bred, and that’s where we failed. Sony knew how to get you from one to five, but they couldn’t get you to that one.

It was just a struggle and growing pains. I had never been in a position like that, and no one expected me to come out and do what I did. After that, it was sink or swim going into the corporate structure of Sony. They [absorbed] Loud and dropped everyone except me and Three-6 Mafia. That was some cold s**t. We had Big Pun, Tha Alkaholiks, Wu-Tang Clan, dead prez—that was the upstart urban label right there. We could have been there and it’s a shame that Loud Records went the way it went. They were on their way to being something and they just had no idea.

AllHipHop.com: Restless seemed easier to promote, it was like a party that we were all invited to, whereas Weapons of Mass Destruction and Man vs. Machine tackled heavier subjects such as the prison system and police brutality. Were those conscious decisions or you just growing as an artist?

Xzibit: Artistically, I try to do different things. You can’t pigeonhole and peg me as one type of MC who only does this. I live in Los Angeles, I was born in Detroit, I’ve lived in Albuquerque, and I’m well traveled. I’ve got a lot of different experiences that I try to relay through my music because I know I’m not unique in these situations. If I can connect with my listener like that, then that’s what’s up man.

Me and my homeboy were talking about it on the bus yesterday. I don’t make Hip-Hop no more; I make “Real-Hop.” There’s too many cats out here that are leading everybody with false perceptions of who they are—they’re taught by the industry. As you can see, our hood is in the trash. I’m not saying that to be preachy, or try to be T.D. Jakes and s**t, but I’ve definitely gotta put a real aspect of life out there for me. The things I talk about in my records are real and the things that I’m going through are real.

Am I the man that I was when I was 19, 20 years old? No. So I’mma tell you how I feel now. That maturity is my strength. I feel like I have the luxury to grow with my audience and they shouldn’t expect the same thing that I did on “Paparazzi” or “Foundation”. Those are things that I felt when I was that age. As I mature, as I grow and expand my horizons and my range, you can grow with me or you can just not be with it at all.

AllHipHop.com: We see that growth on songs like "Black, Brown", which addresses the ongoing beef between Blacks and Latinos in Southern California. Did the incident from 2003 factor into making that song?

Xzibit: Definitely, man. I got hit with a Jack Daniels bottle and there was no fighting involved. It was just me and this Hispanic guy, and I guess he had a homeboy, but I didn't see him until the end. He hit me with a [liquor] bottle like it was a f**kin' baseball, it was about three feet away. At first I thought the dude punched me, but when I turned to say something I started spitting blood and f**kin' glass down my shirt. There was no punches thrown, I didn't get jumped and there wasn't a [brawl], it was just me and him. Dude ran off after he hit me with the bottle and his homeboy came around. I guess he had a pistol, he never pulled it out, he just had his hand on it. He saw what happened, and he ran off too.

So I'm kinda like, "What do you do in that situation," you know what I'm saying? This s**t is f**ked up. I go to the doctor, and the motherf**ker tells me, "Yo, we don't know if you're gonna' heal or talk again." That situation could've cost me my livelihood. It was a real intense situation, and it could have went one of two ways, 'cause my people were not happy, my n***a. I was in a position where I could either react, or sit back and see what's going on and then react.

But, the s**t healed up, I found out that it was going to be alright. It healed how it’s gonna heal. I refuse to get plastic surgery, so f**k that. It healed how it healed, and everything's alright. As you can see, I've got a film and television career after the fact. I didn't lose my life and I didn't have to react and do something stupid because my pride was hurt. I didn't go and make a wrong decision out of anger. That's where that song came from. What I got from the situation was that I was patient and calm. I was like, "Do I need to send somebody to take someone's life? Do I need to take somebody's life because I got hit with a bottle? Or, do I need to sit back and see that my life has taken a whole new turn?"

Now, I can do whatever the hell I want to do. That was an experience that I was supposed to learn from and a beautiful song came from it. A bangin' concept came from it, and now I don't have [worry] about that. That situation didn't affect what I do. So, you've got to balance those situations out. If that situation had have ended with one of my family members or my son getting hurt, then that's a reason to really go there. But, for stuff like that, I had to sit back and count the cost.

AllHipHop.com: Let’s end this on a light-hearted note. As the host of Pimp My Ride you have to come correct. Out of your collection, what’s you favorite car and what accessories do you have on it?

Xzibit: I’ve got the new Range Rover Supercharged with a complete strut kit on it. I painted it so that the whole truck is silver and only the windows are black. I put some 22-inch strut rims on it to make it complete. I like a clean look. I’ve got that and I’ve got my Bentley GT, and I just zoom around Los Angeles in those two.

AllHipHop.com: That’s not a bad way to zoom around at all. I’m pretty much set. Do you have any last words or anything for the fans?

Xzibit: October 17th, we’re gonna’ get down with Full Circle, man. I’m hungry. You can hear it in the music and I can’t wait to put this down. It feels like my first record. The motivation is different and I want to push it to the limit.

AllHipHop.com: Well, on behalf of AllHipHop.com I thank you. It was a good one, man.

Xzibit: C’mon, it’s all good man. I bulls**t you not, I really f**k with y’all tight. I really be up on y’all s**t, even the Rumor section. I’ve been up in that motherf**ka a couple of times. I just laugh about ‘em, even if they’re about me—them s**ts is crazy! Tell Illseed, he’s a crazy motherf**ka
