New Video: Ron Browz “Gimme 20 Dollars”

Wednesday, October 14 2009 10:01 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Ron Browz’s raps are less than desired. But I gotta admit, this song is a guilty pleasure. In fact, when I was in Miami this past Memorial Day weekend, he was slingin’ “No-Wifin’ In The Club Shirts” on Washington Ave. for $10 a pop…I bought two. Ironic ain’t it?

Didn’t know iTunes had the official crispy soundboard audio of the first performance of BP3‘s first big single. You know, The Yankees new theme. I have a warm spot in my heart for you Internet geeks; so here’s a link to the audio file I just copped. Who says YN don’t give back? Convert to MP3 if you like, penny pinchers. Download here.

Eminem On Curtis’ Work Ethic

Wednesday, October 14 2009 8:30 AM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

People love to tell this story again and again about how hard 50 works. I get it, he works hard. We all should. No hard feelings but I missed seeing myself in last night’s Behind The Music. Guess I wasn’t holding my poms poms high enough in front of the camera to make the final cut. Ha!


The Young Jeezy & Rick Ross Connection

Wednesday, October 14 2009 8:03 AM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

You rep for my weed carrier group. I’ll rep for yours. Favor for a favor. Ha!

Anyways, on the set of a Triple C’s video, The Bawse and Da Snowman had some interesting things to say about carrying on tradition and their status in the game.

Ross: “To be a part of Def Jam, I feel that the biggest legacies have been lived at Def Jam. From the dudes I love like EPMD, of course the LL Cool Js, of course Jay-Zs—but this is that next run. When you think of the classic tours, the Ruff Ryders, Cash Money tours, I feel like we bubbling and building these brands too. Most definitely, with the moves we making, we both bosses, we gonna keep it like that.”

Jeezy adds: “We’re the new generation of hustlas. New generation of entrepreneurs. We’re the new generation of going out there and getting it from the streets. We’re selling a lifestyle. This is how we live every day. The better you live like that, the better music you sell.”

Is this the part where Antonio puts his feet up?

Guess who’s bizack. Ri-Ri announced on her new Twitter account last night that she’s ready to knock a few cats off the top of the charts this fourth quarter. Count me in as part of the hype machine ’cause I really wanna hear how the Fuck Boy Brown incident has affected her music. Straight from The A has gathered all the new flicks and behind the scenes video of the album cover shoot. Good luck to you, Ms. Fenty.

Sidebar: Another Wale leak popped up last night. This one was unauthorized and was the joint he did with Rihanna called “Contemplate.” Pardon the tags and take a listen.
