Video: Pill Interview w/ iHipHop

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Rashann from iHipHop chops it up with Pill.

This past Easter weekend, I got a chance to get out of Chicago (which was great for me because 41 people were shot over 2 days) and went back to my homeland of Atlanta, GA. I got a chance to interview a couple of artists, the most entertaining one being Pill. We met up on Peters St. where we talked hip-hop and took in the scenery. He even paid for my parking, which was a first for me. I even gave him a chance to take some shots at the whole Jae Millz/XXL situation (which he respectfully declined), so we kept it moving and discussed SXSW, his album and upcoming DJ Drama-hosted mixtape 1140: The Overdose and A-Town hip-hop.

Jim Jones & Cam’Ron Reconcile, Talk To Miss Info

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Miss Info got a call from Jimmy last week and he was sitting in the passenger seat of Cam’s car, or spaceship, whichever. Jim said he had something to say and delivered a public apology right then and there to Cam’ron.

It’s 2010, and this is something I gotta get off my chest…You’ve known us from back when we didn’t have what we have now, so you remember, that above all, me and Cam, we still brothers. And we’re building on getting back on track but first, I apologize for being a rude brother, for saying things publicly without first trying to handle them privately. I apologize for not leading by example because what I didn’t realize at the time, I was venting but it wasn’t all about me. There were other people whose dreams were also part of this movement. So by not leading by example, they were left stranded too. The way I handled our business issues was with emotion, and it got totally f–ked up. That’s what selfishness does….

…I have demons that I’m learning to deal with. We’re all successful, me and Cam and Juelz, so we’re blessed. But that comes with responsibilities. I had complaints and I’m not backing away from the issues I had, but I’m just mad at how I handled them. The business of the Diplomats could have been fixed before. But by putting my emotions out in the public, it only made things worse. And of course, some of us became bitter about it. We had this luxurious life, but the rest of the family, they had slow down because of the ball I started rolling. I’d be pissed at me too…

But God works in mysterious ways…a couple people took vacations, and there’s a lane that’s wide open. What we built solo since Dipset grew apart, we can combine and make even stronger together. I needed to clear my conscious before we work on building a bigger and better movement. Plus, consider it fair warning to everyone else.

Then Cam said what he had to say.

There’s nothing really Diplomats-related to show you yet. We all have our own obligations right now, our own projects. I have this Boss of All Bosses Pt. 2.5 mixtape with Vado and DJ Drama dropping soon. But yes, me and Jim have been speaking, we’re working out the mechanics of this, and looking at our options right now. If it makes sense, it can happen.

Read a full account of the events over at Miss Info’s. As skeptical as everyone is of seeing another Diplomatic Immunity album come out on Usershare records, this is definitely a step in the right direction.

French Montana feat. Waka Flocka – Hard In The Paint

Monday, April 19th, 2010

So the story behind this track is that French recently signed a management deal with Debrah Antney, who is Waka Flocka’s mom but also his, Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman’s manager. This record was the product of them inking that deal. Incidentally, Debrah used to also manage Nicki Minaj before she recently signed with Diddy. This song also made me realize that I actually didn’t know what Waka Flocka Flame sounded like on wax. I might have to sit down and re-evaluate my life priorities right now.

Wow, I completely forgot this project had yet to drop. Possibly because of the whole ordeal with the trial, then jail. Below is the first leak from Vigilante Season.
