DJ DRAMA VS YOUNG JEEZY
Young Jeezy recently aired out his past issues with DJ Drama which led to their falling out which included profits for their joint mixtapes.
In addition to promising never to work with Drama again, the Snowman also said he didn't share in the profits from their joint collaboration mixtapes.
"Drama just started acting like a b*tch," Jeezy said in an interview for the September issue of XXL magazine. "Drama wanted to be Khaled, but he didn't want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his crew. The same n*ggas ain't around him. You ain't never been in no streets. I could never have no beef with a n*gga like that. He's a cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the f*ckin' feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streets Iz Watchin, because they were selling and distributing them and making money...I'm not hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn't charge that nigga for [contributing a verse to the song "5000 Ones," on Drama's official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000? I'll slap the sh*t out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn't loyal. But me putting my hands on that man ain't gonna make him respect what I'm saying. I'm just not gonna f*ck with him anymore." (Karen Civil)
KANYE EXPECTED TO BE IN KANYE'S ROBOCOP VIDEO
In addition to re-linking with Yeezy, Rose also spoke on the recent fame she has generated through her association with the rapper.
"I have Kanye's 'Robocop' video," Rose said about her upcoming projects. "I'm playing a robot through the whole video. Ninety-five percent of the video is just me...I definitely welcome it...I appreciate all my fans. I definitely never expected it. I don't wanna say I never wanted it. But -- I just know a lot of girls, they go to modeling agencies every single day. That's their life. A lot of stuff --- just landed in my lap. I thank God for that; it's really a blessing. I thank God for that -- and Kanye, of course. Kanye definitely gave me the fast track to the top." (MTV)
She has also caught the attention of rappers like Ludacris who featured her in his "Them Girls Like" music video last year.
"I think it's great," Luda told SOHH about Amber's success. "I always love seeing someone come from... just trying to see their dreams come true. There's nothing wrong with it for me. I'm glad to have had her in the video. I think she got signed to a modeling agency or something so I think she's extremely innovative to have that kind of confidence. I think it's a great thing because she sets herself apart from a lot of women just by her haircut. She wears it with the utmost confidence and that's a great thing. I think she deserves any modeling contract that she's gotten because she has her own unique look and a great sense of style." (SOHH)
DRAKE APOLOGIZES FOR VIDEO
Drizzy chose to forgo another Yeezy-directed video out of sensitivity for his female fan base Rap newcomer Drake recently spoke on passing up an offer by Kanye West to do a re-make of their " Best I ever Had" music video
"That career move was very important to me," he said in an interview. "We've done such a great job of building it all up. It's kind of like people were getting this impression of me that I'm never gonna make a mistake...If you listen to the song, I'm not saying the most graceful thing in the world. It's not the most heartfelt song...I guess one thing I didn't consider is what the song personally means to a lot of women...To those women, I apologize. I do apologize. My intention wasn't to put anyone down. It was to make them laugh. I wanted people to see something visually different." (MTV)
He previously defended the deeper meaning behind the controversial music video.
"The concept of the video is, I'm a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team," he explained. "Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don't take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning." (Complex

JAYZ WARNS THE GAME ..
Jay-Z has addressed The Game's recent taunts and disses towards him and said while he is giving the rapper a temporary pass, things could easily change on a case-by-case basis
Speaking with radio personality Big Boy, Jay attempted to explain why The Game has been reacting negatively towards him despite not being dissed.
"I think he's been posturing for this thing for a while," Jay explained. "I guess he just took the fact that I said I'm not talking about him which is not a diss at all. I figured that was his opportunity, he's going on tour and he's promoting, or buzz or marketing or however people feel they need attention these days. So it's no real problems behind it, it's no real challenge behind it. With the Nas thing, that was a real thing, it wasn't done because of any marketing or anything like that. I typically let those types of things slide but you know, I could wake up tomorrow and just really go right in." (Big Boy's Neighborhood)
He previously spoke with DJ Semtex about Game's disses.
"[There should be a committee] because beef now is so corny," Jay said last week. "It's not really about nothing, I don't know if I said anything to warrant having beef, or if I said anything derogatory about him. If I say I'm not talking about this man,you know, I just said I'm not talking about him. I ain't say anything derogatory about him. So a lot of beefs are either misunderstandings, ego or just stupid or just done for publicity purposes. That could become tiresome. If it's a genuine clash for the top a la Jay-Z and Nas, that's official because we handled it the right way and at the end of the day we ended up working for each other. But a lot of beefs are just frivolous, they lack merit." (DJ Semtex TV)

DRAKE TALKS ABOUT ALBUM
Rap newcomer Drake recently spoke on his chemistry with Lil Wayne and updated fans on how much progress he has made on the forthcoming Thank Me Later debut.
While originally planned for a 2009 release, Drizzy said his project would likely hit stores Valentine's Day 2010.
"Someone would really have to come to the studio to see me and Wayne together and how we work," Drake said in an interview. "It's the same sort of thing. I fear Wayne's creativity. It's endless. It's a scary beast. He never takes one day off. When we get into the studio it is very competitive, but in a good way. You can't just use a line you wrote Tuesday. Every line has to be thought out...I'm about twosongs in. I really haven't even started. The tour is really throwing me off, so I probably won't start really working on it until September. It will probably come out Valentine's Day next year." (The Boom Box)
The rapper recently spoke about hitting the road alongside Wayne for their America's Most Wanted
"I didn't really get any approval from mydoctor , but I made a personal decision 48 hours ago that I'd be letting a lot of people down if I didn't show up and at least show them I'm there for them," Drake said in an interview. "For the last two weeks, I've been really going hard, getting all types of acupuncture, trying to bring the swelling down. I'm walking around -- no cane. I'll put a brace on it tomorrow night. No one will probably even know I'm injured...I'm not doing my own set. That's one thing I have to apologize to my fans about. It's too much of a risk, if I hit that wrong turn [doing] 30 minutes every night. If I tear my ACL again, the doctors say I might not be able to walk again. I have to be cautious." (MTV)

DRAKE CLEARS THINGS UP
Rap newcomer Drake recently spoke on Jay-Z's first official single from The Blueprint 3, "Run This Town," and killed rumors of being replaced by RihannaIn addition to speaking on the gossip, Drizzy also weighed in on his personal reaction to Jay's new record.
"I don't know who came up with that rumor to be honest, but I always knew what Jay's first single was going to be," Drake said in an interview. "Me and Jay did a lot of work together. Maybe at one point he was considering doing it and someone got over-excited and put out a press release that I was going to be on the first single. I think Jay made a great choice. I think the 'Run This Town' song is phenomenal. I think Kanye [West] kills that sh*t. I actually heard that song when it was a Rihanna track...We have more than one record to pick from.Jay-Z is one of those guys that's just too good. I would be definitely disappointed if I wasn't on it. I think it's going to be a legendary project. I have my fingers crossed." (The Boom Box)

JAY-Z BLAMES KANYE WEST FOR "D.O.A." SUCCESS, "IT WAS ACTUALLY HIS FAULT"
Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z recently spoke on the creation of his record "Death of Autotune" and why its controversy and success is mainly due to Kanye West's involvement.
"He actually sparked the idea," Jay revealed. "When he heard the beat he said, 'Man, this is just so hard! This has to be against everything -- no auto-tune, none of that type of stuff!' He didn't know what I was going to do or where I was going to take it, but it was actually his fault...After we made the 'D.O.A.' record about a month ago, we were like, 'if it's got to go, it's got to go' [from my album]. In hip-hop, our job is once a trend becomes a gimmick, to get rid of it. We've done that since the beginning of time...Now people are using auto-tune even in Wendy's commercials, and it's like, 'Oh no! That has to go!' It's become part of main culture. It's the same thing like when the old lady in Oregon starts saying, 'bling, bling.' It's like, 'I'm never saying that again.'" (Billboard)
TINY GIVES UPDATE ON T.I., "I SEE HIM EVERY WEEKEND"
T.I.'s long-time girlfriend Tiny Cottle recently gave an update on the Grand Hustle leader and why he refuses to allow his kids to come visit him.In addition to speaking on how often she sees Tip, Tiny also explained the role his agent plays in visits.
"I see him every weekend," Tiny revealed in an interview. "Like I go every weekend. Normally, if I go, I leave on Sunday and go visit him Sunday and Monday. I go two days. He's still saying [don't bring the kids.] I spoke about it just when I was there recently, well, actually somebody else was there, his agent. His agent was there asking about the kids and saying that he prefers them not to be there." (Atlanta's V-103)

I love the BlAcK one
Swiss Watch maker Zenith introduced several very nice watches in their DEFY XTREME 2009 collection. The Defy Xtreme Tourbillon ZERO-G is a mean looking master piece that actually defies gravity. ZENITH has devised a Zero-G (zero gravity) system. The gyroscope cage Tourbillon comprises an escapement mounted on cardan joints rather like marine chronometers. The instrument, which is sensitive to changes of position, is kept in a constant horizontal position, thereby ensuring optimal amplitude for the spiral balance-wheel.

blueprint 3 baby on the way..oo00o behave
Jay-Z has announced the overall completion of his upcoming Blueprint 3 album and promised its release this fall.
Speaking with DJ Drama, Jay touched on the possibility of recording a few last-minute records for his forthcoming solo project.
"Yeah, pretty much [it's done]," Jay revealed. "You know I still tweak it. I made 'PSA' was the last record I made on The Black Album and 'Give It To Me' was the last record I made on Dynasty. So, I'm always open to recording new records. It's pretty much done, it could go out the door right now. September 11th, the first date, it's the anniversary of the original one, of course it's a tragedy as well so we're going to be doing a lot of great things with charities and everything." (Hot 107.9)

SEARS TOWER
Sears Tower, which opened its new set of glass balconies for public viewing. “The Ledge,” as they’re collectively called, hangs 1,353 feet in the air. With transparent walls and ceilings, visitors say its like floating in the sky.
WOW THIS CAR REALLY EXISTS..DATS DOPE!!
Dubbed “Snaefell,” the 1000cc Laverda motorcycle has three exhausts, and its sidecar offers a luxury ride in comparison to regular sidecars. The designer has employed different parts of a Kawasaki 1000RX and a number of cars to accomplish the motorcycle sidecar, which took 10 years and nearly 15,000 Euros to combine biking and luxury car ride in a single vehicle.
THE GAME DISSIN BEYONCE
The Game dropped the following lyrics at a recent Freestyle in Madrid, Spain
This ain’t about about Bey, it ain’t no Destiny,
I’m in Madrid bangin with C-P-T,
You got a bad b*tch word,
Ain’t no p*ssy like hers,
Just ask the Mavericks, Rockets, and the Spurs
I mean – my b*tch don’t slang p*ssy like that…
So Fuck Jay Z!!
Note – all the basketball teams Game mentioned are located in Texas – Beyonce’s home state!!
JAYZ VS 50 CENT ???
Two years ago, 50 Cent and Kanye West went head-to-head to see who could sell the most albums – and now 50’s gearing up for another battle.
MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a person in the G-Unit camp who says that 50 Cent wants to release his next album, Before I Self Destruct on September 11th.
Why is that day so important? Well it’s the same date that Jay Z is scheduled to release his latest album Blueprint 3.
50 vs. Jay Z, huh. That may be just what 50 needs to get back on his game ... That being said, we’re still riding with Jay
ABOLOUS EXPLAINS JAY-Z CONNECTION, "WE CAME UP W/ THE SONGS FIRST"
Fabolous recently spoke on his relationship with Jay-Z and how the hip-hop mogul became actively involved in the upcoming Loso's Way album.In addition to Jay, Fab also touched on how he developed tracks for the movie-theme release.
"Me and Jay built a connection through DefJam ," Fab said in an interview. "Through working together executive to artist, we built a different relationship as well. Maybe artist to artist we was in a little different space. You didn't know where each other was at. We work well. When I needed help with the [new] album and I was reaching out for people for joints for the album, he was one of the people that was like, 'Hear this.'...We got a connection. He's from Brooklyn, I'm from Brooklyn -- that's enough of a connection right there...We came up with the songs first...I made the songs to the scenario I thought of. Then I wrote a story [for a film]. Even when I was writing the story, I could hear certain songs coming up in those scenarios, in those scenes. That's why it meshed well." (MTV)
Fab previously spoke with SOHH about his record with Jigga.
"Actually, it got leaked and it was a version with Jay only rapping on it and it's called, 'When The Money Goes,' Fabolous said. "Jay had recorded something to it, I guess what you hear on the leak, forAmerican Gangster and I don't think it made the finalcut so he had reached out to me, knowing that I was working on this project and knowing the theme of what I was trying to put together and said, 'Yo, I got a record that might fit in to play.' So, when he brought the record to the table it did. I re-vocaled it. Jay is just on the hook as far as that, it was his idea for the hook." (SOHH)
He also said his upcoming solo project would likely outshine all 2009 music releases.
"The album is coming June 30th," Fab announced in a video. "I've been holding the date for a little while just because I wanted to keep y'all just asking me. But now I gave y'all an answer. June 30th, Loso's Way will be in stores. It's one of the best album, nah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it's the best. I don't know what's coming after me but what I've heard before, I'm gonna say my album is the best album coming out. So make sure you go get that and become a part of this, MyFabolousLife. We also have four trailer videos we're gonna release each week until the album comes out. So look for the first trailer which is probably gonna be called 'Toast to the Good Life,' and that should be out the first week of June. I will be in a lot of y'all cities for your Summer Jams or your summer shows this June." (MyFabolousLife)
Fab recently talked about the rap game's need for balance and why, he claimed, New York rap stylesare not getting their fair share of air play.
"I'm just trying to hold it down for the city, you know what I mean," he told radio personality DJ Kay Slay. "We gotta keep pushing from all angles, they trying to force us out. Not really trying to force us out, but take over. We need balance. Everybody can shine but we need balance and New York gotta get in where we fit in, too...[Listening to New York radio] I hear all the people they try to keep away from mainstream radio. I love everything that everybody's doing but you definitely need balance 'cause I come from that era where you had balance in hip-hop. You had De La Soulbut you had hardcore stuff too...You don't hear nothing [on Southern radio]. You might have something classic, like iconic, they don't cross that line...It's a balance too with me because I came from the mixtapes and the streets, but at the same time, I knew once you get to a bigger level and can get seen on TV, you wanna appeal to the ladies as well."

ALESSANDRO MENDINI'S NOD TO HIS OWN DESIGN
The Proust Armchair was first designed by Alessandro Mendini in 1978. This unique armchair represents the original meeting between handcraft and design, between classic and modern. It is part of Mendini's series "redesigns furniture". Believing that Modern Design had reached the end of its natural life and that designers could no longer create innovative designs, Mendini "redesigned" acknowledged classics. The Proust chair is inspired from the Louis XV style. Mendini was attempting to create a feel for the work of late XIX Century author Marcel Proust and used a style of chair of the period.
