CyHi The Prynce Hints At New G.O.O.D. Friday Tracks | Video
CyHi The Prynce, for a long time, has taken on the role of the black sheep of the G.O.O.D Music clique. Originally debuting on the stellar My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy record, "So Appalled" - he stole the show with his interesting wordplay and has always walked on the fine line of street and consciousness. In his latest interview with The Source, he speaks on a few things coming up including an EP that he's getting ready to release, his role on G.O.O.D Music, and whether or not he will appear on YEEZUS. While also a small tidbit, he alludes to the fact that some brand new G.O.O.D. Friday stuff may be in the works. Hopefully this rumors doesn't become as contested as the Cruel Winter stuff was, but we're looking forward to it if it is indeed true. Watch the interview below. (more...)
B.o.B and Hot 97 Debate About Alienating Hip Hop For A “Top 40 Sound” | Video
Fans who have been riding with B.o.B from the beginning know the large spectrum of this man's talent. The once underground superstar was applauded for his ability to do more than just hip hop, more than just heavy drums and 808's, being able to tell a story with a great melody, play the piano, play the guitar - most things your standard hip hop artist couldn't do. "Nothin On You" was released, and B.o.B truly never looked back from the crossover success he gained from that chart-topping single. "Airplanes" would follow, then on his sophomore album he'd continue the ride with "So Good" and his Taylor Swift collaboration, "Both Of Us." Now it's that same sound that has gotten him in a heated discussion with Hot 97 about his lack of love for the hip hop side of the pond. T.I. came up a few months ago, and they spoke briefly on B.o.B's sound and how he hasn't necessarily been working towards garnering a hip hop sound. A response that was met with pretty much, "we're working on it." The work has been put in and now "We Still In This Bitch" featuring T.I. and Juicy J, produced by Mike Will Made It is swelling on the charts and now his follow-up "HeadBand" featuring 2 Chainz follows in the same lane. B.o.B and his team confront Ebro and Peter Rosenberg about their comments a few months ago, and the discussion of Top 40 B.o.B vs. hip hop B.o.B gets quite heated when it comes to "loyalty." Watch it below. (more...)
T.I.’s Stunt-A-Thon Continues, Won’t Sign A Deal For Under 8 Figures | Video
T.I.'s been absolutely on one since the shackles of Atlantic Records' 10 year long deal have been broken, and the man has simply been on a stunt-a-thon, stunting throughout the entire nation - selling himself to the world as the hottest free agent in rap today, and who's to say he isn't? In two separate interviews, telling two separate stories, he breaks down the brand that is T.I. - one as "a multi-media company" and another as the coach to one of the baddest teams in rap, Hustle Gang. T.I. stopped by Hoodrich Radio earlier in the week to promote the new G.D.O.D mixtape, and while introducing the members of the Hustle Gang - he talks about a few people he has been in talks with to join the brand including West Coast bubbler Problem and the ever underrated, Jeremih, among others. While stopping by Streetz 94.5, he says that he will not sign to a major record label for less than 8 figures. And it's not like he's just arrogantly throwing it out there, he's backing it up with facts. Stunt hard my brother. (more...)
