Shaheem Reid grabbed Kendrick Lamar for an installment of #TakeChargeTuesday backstage at the Made In America concert. He talks about taking charge of your career, avoiding trends and changing radio priorities.
Shawn Pecas appears on Shaheem Reid’s Life+Times show to discuss his new position as Executive Vice President @ Def Jam and his history in the game. He talks about his early days growing up in The Bronx, interning at Gee Street Records, his regrets about his relationship with Shakir Stewart, his time at Arista, adjusting to the shift to digital, Kanye’s “New Slaves” roll-out and the new direction at Def Jam.
Curren$y speaks to Shaheem Reid about working with Ski Beatz in this conversation hosted by Creative Control. Speaking of which, Sha has a new series with Coodie and Chike of Creative Control called “Portrait Of My Life” and his first interview subject is Lloyd Banks. Check out a preview over @ Missinfo’s.
I might be the only person in New York who could care less about this reunion. Of course I’m a Killa fan, but Betha is still a clown to me. He was good, but overrated in his prime and now he’s just overrated. He arguably fathered Fab’s style, but these days: Fab > him. I guess it’s cool that him and Cam squashed their personal beef, but I have no desire to hear the Pastor on any more records anytime soon. Maybe if he starts spitting that murder shit again, then we can talk, but he has a congregation to answer to, so I won’t hold my breath.
At this point, I’d rather hear Cam rap alongside Vado, or even Juelz, than the reverend. And on that note, here’s a remix of the Cameron/Mason lovefest ft. the young Harlemite: Cam’ron & Ma$e ft. Vado – Get It (Remix)
In the above clip, Miss Info speaks with MTV’s Shaheem Reid and Rahman Dukes about the reunion track and the prospect of more music from the remaining 2/4’s of CoC.
