He lives in NY...
yeah, I believe it has something to do with Green Lantern and some beef with The_Game.
MOP is G-Unit now too
Maybe they'll actually sell some records now
dam, I'm looking forward to "rider music" and "piggy bank".
but yo speaking of Alchemist and Mobb Deep:
WIN OR LOSE. Your thoughts? I love the track but it's just Mobb flowing over an VOCAL LOOP. I think that shit is so crazy that it worked.
Alchemist and Eminem are both managed by Paul Rosenberg, so it was only natural that Al take the job from Green after his, uhh indiscretion (which was on dvd not a mixtape, even worse). Green is still the best mixtape DJ in the world though.
Dude pretty much runs the world on the low. He wants you to forget about him, while he sits there and counts his checks. No other dude in the industry with as much clout as him keeps such a low profile.
i think if you want it like that you can have it. its people like lyor cohen and dame dash that want to be stars just as much as their artists. it is rather unnerving if you ask me.
I bet you never even been in the same room! YOU are fronting, son! I bet all you do is sit in front of ahh.com and fantasize about talking to rappers on your blackberry!
But he did all those Eminem album skits, doesn't he? Jesus, admitting I've heard those felt like getting caught watching donkey porn or something. Anyway, most average folks would probably recognize him from those before they could pick Lyor Cohen out of a line up.
I wish that was true, and that this phonebook sized Warner Bros. contract I will be reading between now and Monday would turn into a fucking copy of Playboy or a knish or something. Look for me to increase my post count by half this weekend, cuz I ain't going nowhere...
Industry rumor of the day: Nas signs Scarface to his Ill Will imprint. True, false? Only time will tell. If it's true, can an artist who can't even keep his own career on track guide the career of another artist who shares the affliction of being a little too deep for the average hip-hop fan (albeit an artist who makes better records than Nas has made in years)? Talk amongst yourselves, discuss....
