“Lil B, I told you I’m feeling. I wanna start something new and get some artists under the wing. Lil B and Danny Brown is on the mixtape coming soon. [G-Unit member] Trav knows Lil B. He has connections with Too Short. I got connections with E-40. They all end up coming to the show in the Bay. That’s how 50 wound up doing the remix to E-40′s “‘Nigga Don’t Act Like A Bitch”. They all ended up backstage. I linked up with Lil B. His music is good. He’s a real humble dude. That cooking dance is hot.”

Tony said B came to the G-Unit mansion and banged out a few tracks shortly after. “When me & D. Brown are in the studio, it was cool new energy. Like how Cam’ron vibes with Vado. I think Vado makes Cam better, you hear his shit sounding better because of Vado. Me working with D. Brown, I hear my shit sounding better and better. When you work with a guy who has punch lines, you take your time to create punch lines too. It’s like a war in the studio. Lil B came to the studio, knocked out his verses easy. Came to the mansion, we balled out and just chilled, man.”

When asked if he could see Lil B as part of G-Unit, Yayo didn’t think it was out of the realm of possibility. “I could see that,” he said. “He’s a little crazy, but I could see that. He makes good music. It’s all about the good music.”

Ahead of their forthcoming full length collaborative project, Invincible and Waajeed, both Detroit natives, have teamed up for a 2 song project that is a little bit more than just a single and a B-Side:

This is far bigger than just Hip-Hop. “Detroit Summer” is not just a season, and its not just about a youth-focused organization in Detroit – the song is about a feeling and a movement. “Emergence” isn’t just the b-side, and it’s not about Invincible’s media company of the same name, but rather the dawning of a new era.

Invincible is already highly regarded as a lyricist, and Waajeed as a producer, but they are collectively ascending to new levels of on both songs. Together, the duo worked to show the resilience of their communities and refute the negative national image of Detroit. As Invincible’s lyrics proclaim, “You Call Motown a ghost-town, but the city’s vibrant!”

Detroit Summer/Emergence is a prequel to the full length album Invincible + Waajeed are dropping in 2011. For this single, they did a limited edition run of 1,000 7-inch records (all of which come with a digital download code) and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

So flagrant.

“I’m hungry and it’s lunchtime, and I know everybody on Twitter want the Chippy D punchline”

Shaheem Reid @ MTV News got Jeezy on the phone to speak on yesterday’s “Death Before Dishonor (B.M.F. Freestyle)”.

It’s not a diss. First of all, I’m not gonna get nothing out of dissing that guy. That’s one. What am I gonna get out of dissing him? I think sometimes people can read into things too deep. They trippin’ man. They crazy out there. Basically, if homie takes that as a diss, he’s insecure, and anybody else out there who does, they are insecure.

When it comes to that [Black Mafia Family] situation, I’m gonna talk about it a little flyer anyway. I happen to know that situation very well.

On the “you don’t know the crew” bars specifically:

That’s for real. That’s for anybody. I got niggas in prison behind that shit. I feel that if you speaking on shit, you gotta at least know who you talking about. That’s like niggas speaking on Cash Money: If he ain’t never been a part of Cash Money, [then] I’mma speak it better if I’m a part of Cash Money. To me, [BMF] was real. I know all the members. Who else would say a line like that, but me? I’m one of the few people who can say that, so I said it. That’s real life, though. You gotta know the crew, baby. I thought that was the purpose of the game: to get on records and talk your shit, right?

Subliminals, for what? What’s understood ain’t gotta be said. I didn’t think people would take the record like that. I did it like I would have any Shawty Lo record, any Rocko record, whoever. I got on [Ross' beat] and did it like how I do it, the best way I know how. I don’t know if because the BMF situation is for real for me that everybody is like, “Ooh. Oh, shot.” Twitter is a muthafucka, by the way.

He also said “Real BMF” was recorded before Ross’ BMF was released. After Ross’ blew up, he decided not to use it for TM103, so he just put it out there.
