Word on the Streets mag got this Lil Wayne bit solved

Let me say this... I fully agree with all that they have to say. I will say some of the claims like about Gillie I'm not sure but I agree with the opinion on Wayne.


Well hip-hop here is your new classic poster child and representation of what hip-hop has become. A brother who has lost his identity and deals with it by trying to hide himself in syrup. BET named him lyricist of the year over T.I., Jay-Z,Common and NAS. WTF??? Everybody knows that he was not lyrical until Gillie da kid started writing for him and Wayne started studying Jay-Z's style. Call us haters but the truth of the matter is he got a long way to go before he can be classified as lyricist of the year. Did you guys hear Nas's new album? Word on the streets is Wayne has a brand new baby and that's not all. The baby is not with his new engagee Nivea or his ex wife. The word on the streets is it's a jump off. Not that we care but hey it's news and everybody else is talking about it so we wanted to add our 3 cents worth.

Note: You may call us some haters on Wayne but there is a difference between lyricism and delivery. To many people got caught up in his delivery and his production on the album was crazy but he really wasn't talking about nothing. We will see what the revision of the Carter III brings out with all new songs that he will dropping soon.

Kim Osorio... seems like she left out just a little bit of this & that...

Kim Osorio is trippin..First she puts out a Tell All Book outlining the environment present at the Source Magazine siting that employees often watched pornographic movies and hung pictures of females in G-strings, smoked pot and called women bitches. She also claimed that rumors constantly were made detailing untrue stories of her being sexually involved with industry artists. Now the former editor-in-chief of Source magazine claims that she has crossed the line of professionalism in her new book “Straight from the Source,” admitting that she slept with a number of hip hop stars, according to the Daily News. She said her stint with Nas soured when “it was no longer acceptable to communicate via text messages.” She also says she got down with 50 Cent - despite calling him a “greasy convict” in the book. “He gave me the attention I needed,” the former editor writes. “Put your imagination to use.”

Mariah says no no noooooooooo!

Do you guys remember music producer Damion "Damizza" Young? I sure do! A ways back he was making big time power moves in the rap game as a producers and eventually executive. Well, dude has a new book coming out called "Guilty By Association." From what I know to be actual and factual, Mariah Carey, by way of her lawyer, is attempting to block the release of the book with a cease and desist notice! Apparently, Damizza has done some work as a producer for Mariah and in the book, he plans to talk about it. I THINK Mariah has contractual provisions preventing anybody that works with her to talk about her personally or even professionally. That rules out a book by Nick Cannon, eh?

This is what I think may have prompted Mariah’s people to fire that letter off:

While entire chapters are dedicated to Dre, Snoop, Mariah, Warren G., Eminem, Ludacris and Jay-Z, readers will be hard pressed to come up with a famous name that does not play at least a passing role in "Guilty By Association." Axl Rose, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Quincy Jones, Paris Hilton, Prince, Tobey McGuire, Tony Bennett, Hulk Hogan, Michael and Janet Jackson, Tommy Lee & Pamela Anderson, David Lee Roth, Harry Belafonte, Puffy, Jermaine Dupri, Nas, The Game, 50 Cent, Suge Knight, Tupac, Biggie … the list literally goes on for pages … a manic trip that finally pulls over at the side of the road for a little "breather" at the Betty Ford Center.

Crosby, Stills & Nash and Rick Rubin in the STUDIO?!?!

July 17, 2008 , 11:45 AM ET
Gary Graff, Detroit
Crosby, Stills & Nash are plotting their first studio album since 1994 -- a covers set for Columbia Records helmed by Rick Rubin.

"Rick Rubin's a brilliant man," Graham Nash tells Billboard.com, "and what he wants is an album with no CSN songs. He wants to do an album of all the songs we love, all the songs we wish we've written. It's brilliant from this point of view because we usually wait five years to record an album. This way there's no pressure."

Nash says he, David Crosby and Stephen Stills have had "many discussions" with Rubin about the project, whittling the proposed list of songs from 60 down to a current 20, which the trio is rehearsing after sound checks during its summer tour. Nash declines to name specific songs but acknowledges most would be considered well-known.

He expects recording to start in early 2009 for a release later in the year. The covers set, which will be CSN's first new release since 1994's "After the Storm," is one of many projects on the trio's plate at the moment. "CSNY: Deja Vu," the documentary of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 2006 Freedom of Speech Tour, opens July 25, with the companion live album due Tuesday. Nash, meanwhile, is overseeing a number of archival projects, including his own boxed set, which will be released in time for his 67th birthday in February.

He's curating a Stills box set as well, and recently discovered an album's worth of material of Stills playing with Jimi Hendrix that will be compiled for another release. Nash is also putting together a live album from CSNY's 1974 stadium tour, a set of Crosby Nash acoustic recordings and a benefit record for the Children's Defense Fund that will feature his and Crosby's collaborations over the years with artists such as Elton John, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Phil Collins, Jackson Browne and others.

Nash -- who will be touring with Crosby this fall -- says the sonic spelunking is invigorating.

"You fall back in love with the reason why you wanted to play with Neil Young in the first place, the reason why you wanted to play with Stephen Stills in the first place, and with Crosby in the first place," Nash explains. "You go, '...I remember all this sh*t. That's what we were trying to concentrate on.' It's very interesting, very enlightening."
