YMCMB Yacht Party In Miami Photos

Tuesday, August 24 2010 2:01 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Paparazzi, Party Life

After Khaled’s deal, it was time to celebrate, and Derick G was on hand to capture flicks aboard the yacht for Young Money/Cash Money’s party in Miami last week. Khaled spoke with VIBE about how their partnership came about.

“Birdman always loved my work and passion. We’ve known each other for years, and he’s always told me when you fulfill your contract with E1 you always got a home over here. I was going to sign myself, but I called Birdman and he said ‘Let’s get the deal done in an hour.’ He just wanted to make it happen.”

Cee-Lo Flattered By 50 Cent Remix

Tuesday, August 24 2010 12:54 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

And you thought he might have been fuckin’ upset. Ha! In a quick pow-wow with EW‘s Simon Vozick-Levinson, Mr. Green speaks on his new song‘s strong reaction and Curtis’ unauthorized contribution. By the way, the joint was written by Bruno Mars of “Nothin’ On You” fame. Respect.

“It’s a pleasant surprise, I must say,” the singer tells the Music Mix via phone from London. “I think it’s totally surpassed just about everyone’s expectations. We had a clue — I mean, it’s a very noticeable song — but this has been extraordinary.”

He’s also recorded a profanity-free radio edit to help the song’s chances of getting on the air. “It’s called ‘Forget You,’” he says. “It’s pretty close to the original, but not as effective. But it’s politically correct.” And while he had no part in creating 50 Cent’s witty remix, Cee Lo is a fan. “It was flattering that he would take the liberty of joining in so quickly,” he says. “I thought it was really cool.”

Keith Murray On Fighting 2Pac & Dame Dash

Tuesday, August 24 2010 11:02 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Maybe it’s the liquor talking, but outside of B.B. King in Times Square, Keith Murray recounts knuckling up with 2Pac in L.A. and years later breaking a bottle over Dame Dash’s head. Gotta love these tales from the darkside.

Better duck for cover. Although Flockaveli got his hands tied, he manages to bring out the goons for his latest visual. Shots fired at Young Jeezy too. No pun intended.
