Scram Jones On New Kanye Tracks At Club

Wednesday, May 26 2010 12:06 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Kanye was spotted in NYC last weekend and Saturday night, he took over the CV Lounge with four new tracks off the tentatively titled, Good Ass Job. Scram Jones spinning that night and reflects on moment.

“Kanye came through. There’s a table right by the DJ booth, so they posted up right in front of the booth, and basically, after they hung out for a little while, 45 minutes later, Pat came in the booth and said he wanted to play some new stuff. He had a CD, and we put it in. Kanye leaned over and said, ‘Play track three.’ They all went nuts, Kid Cudi was dancing on the table, and then we cut it off at about a minute-and-a-half. We went to another record, and that got everybody excited, and Kanye said, ‘Play number seven.’ That’s how it kept happening. By the end of the process, we played four records.”

Drake Says He’s Not Replacing Lil Wayne

Wednesday, May 26 2010 12:04 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

While Dwayne serves out the remainder of his jail sentence, Drake says he’s not stepping on the toes of the Young Money general and that his music represents the crew as a whole. Great team player.

“You know what, man? I rap and I rap very confident. But in my actually head, I can never hold down Young Money because I’m not Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is who we look up to. He’s our mentor. I will definitely do everything to keep the brand going, keep Young Money on people’s minds. But Lil Wayne is the only one — he’s the epicenter of that all. I definitely don’t wanna take on that responsibility. I just wanna put out this album, give the people this great music and have the people understand it’s coming from Young Money. If you do enjoy it, then please, give all the credit to Young Money because that’s who I represent. But as far as me being able to ‘hold it down,’ that’s not even a conversation. Lil Wayne is Lil Wayne. He’s my hero, my mentor and he’s the reason I’m here. I do it in honor of him as opposed to filling the void.”

Long overdue, but oh well. Tremaine and Keri play house for their latest motion picture, but unfortunately this ends on a tragic note. Much love to our fallen soldiers.

Wednesday, May 26 2010 10:20 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Will the real Rick Ross please stand up? Yesterday, a press release was sent out that theex-drug lord is set to file a lawsuit against the rapper bearing the same name. The plaintiff was released from prison in 2009 after serving 15 years. He recently spoke to XXL on the reasoning behind the suit.

“I just want my name back. I don’t want to have to be ‘the real Rick Ross.’ When I go places I have to explain to people that I am the real one because Def Jam has put him on TV and now people recognize him. It causes a conflict.It ain’t even really against William Roberts you know what I’m saying? It’s really against Def Jam because they making all this money off of my name and you know those guys didn’t even reach out and said hello to me since I been home.”
