Video: Meek Mill – "Stay Schemin" Freestyle

Meek Mill did freestyle on Angie Martinez's show to the ‘Stay Schemin’ instrumental. 


Photo: Amber Rose's Face Tattoo (Real or Not?)

It’s NOT.
A rep for Amber released a statement:
“It was make-up that she had put on, to go out… not a tattoo!”


But still... it looks ridiculous.


New Music: Olivia x Fred The Godson – "Freshy"

SHEESH! Olivia is riding this Love & Hip-Hop wave HARD. 
Liv & Fred The Godson are teaming up for a joint mixtape dropping on Valentine’s Day, Beauty & The Beast. This is the first release off the project.



New Music: Lil Wayne – That’s What They Call Me (CDQ)

This track leaked last April with extremely poor quality, but now behold! CD Quality! Word on the street is that Wayne has a new album in the works..



Drake On Not Responding To Common: “It’s A Ploy For Attention...”

"Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it."

Drake recently spoke with Nation from NahRight.com about not responding to Common and more! Drake’s explanation for why he's ignoring Common’s disses below!
No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story. 

New Video: Black Cobain - PESO

Ne-Yo Leaves Def Jam, Heads to Motown As Artist & Senior VP Of A&R

According to Billboard.biz, Ne-Yo is bringing his Compound Entertainment imprint to Motown Records.

Ne-Yo: "I'm honored that I¹ve been given such a prestigious title and trusted with such responsibility; terrified because I know that playing this role in the fashion of one of my career role models, Mr. Smokey Robinson -- these are big shoes to fill. But trust, I can handle it,"

Universal Republic & Island Def Jam Motown Chairman/CEO Barry Weiss: 
"His track record of success at Def Jam will always be a benchmark, but this move to Motown will provide new and inspiring challenges for Ne-Yo as both an artist and a key member of the new senior management team that is taking form at the label in 2012."

Ne-Yo will serve as a producer and mentor to Motown artists, as well as Senior VP of A&R.

Pill: "I Never Signed No Paperwork with Ross.."

Get More: Music News



After his twitter rant, Pill speaks to MTV to let us know that he was never technically signed to Rick Ross’ Maybach Music label. Go figure!

I’m not a brownnose, I ain’t a punk ass nigga and I’m not finna go trying to chase behind somebody that ain’t sayin’ nothing to me.”
