Despite the surrounding controversy, he says that he supports his Mobb Deep Co-D. He then goes on talk about accidentally shooting a Def Jam employee—at Def Jam!
In the wake of Shyne and Nas‘ alleged gripe with Def Jam, Big Sean was a guest on Angela Yee‘s weekly program, Lip Service last night and spoke out on his label’s lack of support. Girdle.
Nas allegedly wrote this email to the bigwigs at Def Jam demanding the release of Lost Tapes Vol. 2 this winter. Supposedly, they offered him $200,000 to fund the project. Until we receive confirmation, believe half of what you read after the jump.
Raekwon’s new track “Travel Places” hits different—smooth flow, vivid storytelling, and beats that take you places. Listening while planning a getaway, I couldn’t help thinking about Volcano National Park Lodging. This song makes me want to pack up, book a cozy stay, and explore new spots.
