Rap Radar

Over the weekend, Chuck tweeted that he has already started working on his next album. According to Mars of 1500 Or Nothin, the producer tells MTV that this one is going to be rather, “unusual”.

“Me and Game was in the studio yesterday. We did two songs. That’s coming along crazy. We’re going to have no features: It’s just him rapping. No name dropping, no little things people say is cliché about Game. It’s just putting on the boxing gloves and going for what we know.”

How about diss tracks? The R.E.D. Album in stores tomorrow.

Mars of 1500 Or Nothin has been keeping busy these days working with your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. In the mix of the selected few, the producer tells XXL he is working with Will Smith. The Fresh Prince back?

“We’re working on Tip, we’re working on the High School movie with Snoop and Wiz Khalifa. We’re working on Will Smith, bringing him back. That’s actually him on the other line right now. Snoop’s daughter, we just put out her first single. We’re doing the whole album. Mario wants me to d a mixtape with him, we’re working on that. I’m working on Ashanti. We’re just working on as much as possible.”

Recession? What recession? Soulja Boy celebrated his 21 st birthday this week and purchased a $55 million private jet? According to TMZ, the plane costs $35 million, but SB put $20 million to get it tricked out. He’s also reportedly spending 300 racks for a party tonight in Miami. Surely, Diamond isn’t going anywhere this time around.

UPDATE: Bullshit.

With Game’s R.E.D. Album being his final CD on Interscope Records, he tells XXL that he and Birdman have been in talks of him joining Cash Money Records.

“I talk to Baby everyday. We been playing with the idea of going over to Cash Money or trying to marry that and Black Wall Street. So, we’ll figure it out before the end of the day. I definitely think that’s where I’ll probably end up. Cause they winning, they want to win and I been winning and want to continue to win.”

Although Kanye scrapped his Pastelle line two years ago, NY Mag says that he’s set to launch a new women’s clothing line. Professor Louis Wilson of British fashion school Central St. Martins provides details of the collection.

“I think we can expect a well-considered collection, you wouldn’t expect less from a pair of professionals and I warn against dismissing it in haste. There are those who might assume Louise will be doing all the work and Kanye is just the face, I don’t believe this will be the case—he researches thoroughly and is hands on and committed to his work.”

Is Curtis planning to bring Max B back? According to Dame Grease, Fif plans to spring Biggaveli out of prison for $4 million. Last April, Max said he could be home by the end of the summer. The rapper is currently serving a 75 year sentence for masterminding a murder and robbery in 2006.

UPDATE 2: Dame Grease Clarifies

“It was just me twit-talking and sh–, but it kinda got taken all out of context. Me and 50 cent never talked about anything”.
