Video: Dungeon Family VIBE Cover Shoot (Behind The Scenes)

July 3rd, 2009

Back in June when twitpics of the shoot for a planned two-part feature started leaking out, Maurice Garland reached out to Spree Wilson for the only flipcam footage allowed at the shoot.

He was told to keep it private until the release of the issue. Since that exclusivity doesn’t mean much anymore, Maurice is putting it out now.

“They make too many chickens, they gotta be cloning them. There’s no way they can make that many chickens. No way. Everybody you know eat chicken. If there was that many chickens, you’d be grabbing them off the ground. [Laughs] Think about it.”
lmao

Anyway, if you want a more serious look at food, I saw this documentary the other day that I highly recommend called Food, Inc (In theaters now, DVD coming in September.)

It’s about the nasty side of big business’ food manufacturing. Trailer after the jump.

Video: Killer Mike Not Impressed By Others’ Attempts To Bring Back Hardcore Hip-Hop

July 3rd, 2009

*late pass*

50 Cent says he wants to bring hardcore rap back to the forefront, and we know the sentiments Jay-Z expressed in “D.O.A.” Killer Mike says he’s not impressed. He’s been keeping it street.

“I don’t wanna hear none of that bullshit from none of the niggas,” Mike said. “I dropped I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II last year. If you wanna hear hardcore hip-hop, go to the store, go get I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II. You can listen from the first Biggie sample to the last song on the album, ‘Good-Bye,’ it’s hardcore hip-hop. I don’t wanna hear that bullshit, these niggas who got millions of dollars talking about bringing shit back. They ain’t bringing shit back. It’s here — you looking at it.

“Buy me,” he continued. “When that Killer Mike drops, hardcore hip-hop will be back for the second, third time. You know, the same guy that said ‘rap is dead’ three years before Nas said it. I’m here. Fuck with me. Jay dropped ‘D.O.A.’ and everybody went crazy. And I love Jay. A week before that, I dropped ‘Man Up.’ Go listen to that song and go listen to ‘D.O.A.’ ”

Killer Kill, who recently struck a partnership with T.I. and Grand Hustle Entertainment, is dropping a compilation of all the ATL underground MCs this summer.

50 Cent Talks Forever King Mixtape + Tracklist

July 2nd, 2009

Minus “I’m Paranoid,” I like the other three tracks that leaked from this tape.

Shouts to Shaheem Reid @ MTV:

50 Cent is definitely up on everything. He looks at the Internet just like everybody else. Sitting in his New York office Thursday (July 2), 50 was looking at the Drake video, refusing to watch Game’s apology to the G-Unit on MTVNews.com and answering calls from Leonardo DiCaprio’s camp for a dinner with the movie star. All that, and he played his latest mixtape, Forever King for Mixtape Daily. He was originally going to call his latest mixtape Sincerely Yours: Southside Part 2, and on it he planned to rap over ’90s R&B classics. But in the end he decided to throw in some additional flavor with his throwback stylings.

“It was Sincerely Southside Part 2, but I changed it to Forever King because of the content,” he explained. “I wanted to not just make all ’90s music, I wanted to switch up the content a little bit. Also, calling it Sincerely Southside would cause an expectation based on Part 1. So I called it Forever King. In the past, you’ve had artists, when they feel they’re on top their game, say they are, or would be considered, the King in New York City. So I feel on top of my game. It’s actually one of the laws of power: Act as if you’re a king to be treated like a king.”

Video: Drake Talks Working With Pharrell, So Far Gone Follow-up

July 2nd, 2009

Shouts to Shaheem for the heads up.

“I just gotta get this tour knocked out,” he said earlier this week, smiling about going on the road as part of the America’s Most Wanted Music Festival, which will feature Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy Tell’em and Young Jeezy.

“I am working on [the album] right now. I’ve actually started. I was in the studio with Pharrell, and it’s basically a pretty lax process for us.

“Basically, So Far Gone worked,” he continued, talking about his strategy for the highly anticipated LP. “So, let’s just try to do it again. You know, let’s try and act as if we were making a second disc to So Far Gone. Picking up on things I feel So Far Gone missed out on. Taking away things that people liked but didn’t respond to as much as they did to Best I Ever Had, Uptown, or the joint with Trey [Successful]. There were specific things on that mixtape that I know unanimously people loved and certain things that people didn’t necessarily understand. So basically, I’m just trying to find the strongest points off So Far Gone and basing the album off that.”
