I had the pleasure of catching up with Cool and Dre in their Miami, Fl studios this past weekend after the Florida Music Conference. We spoke for about 2 hours on everything hip hop and I got the exclusive tour of their new studio which is more like a private oasis. Here is a short snippet of Cool and Dre talking about the experience of working with The Game on his upcoming Red album.

"That TM:103 is on the way"

When you are the trap, it’s always hot in these streets, even when they’re the manicured asphalt of Manhattan. So Jay Jenkins is still pumping that weight—just in the gym of the plush London Hotel. See, it’s all part of the upkeep for Young Jeezy™, Household Name. He’s got a Wayne/Drake tour to stay in shape for and a new album (Thug Motivation 103) to promote. In other words, time for another assault from rap’s most counterintuitively creative man. Seriously. Admit it: You don’t think Jeezy is lyrical, or even artistic. Yet, he sold a milli (twice) in an age when gold makes moguls, and even Kanye has requested a personal consult. Is the man a thug motivator or a deceptively savvy songwriter? Why choose one? After all, there’s a reason we paired him with graf god ESPO: both know that it takes both qualities—vision and skill—to get over.

Album "The Salvation" in stores Sept 29th!

"This is kinda like a big deal"

Hip-hop may be an ever-changing beast, but one thing is constant: The Clipse’s sense of self. They might not be shouting it from the rooftops, but they clearly think they’re the best in the game—which is a little surprising, given their track record. After receiving a platinum plaque for their eerie and exceptionally witty debut, Lord Willin’, they fell into label purgatory. Four years and two mixtapes later, the even darker Hell Hath No Fury had critics and fans fawning, but still bricked like a Kwame Brown jumper. Despite the difficulties, Pusha T and Malice still believe in the Clipse. And somehow, their bravado is understandable; it’s what’s gotten them here, after all. When the Internet became saturated with no-name MCs and endless mixtapes, they concluded that fans value quality over quantity. When the economy cratered, they figured their fashion taste could sustain a clothing brand. And when they signed their Re-Up Gang label deal with Sony, they felt strong enough to branch out from under the Neptunes’ wings and recruit outside production for their third album, Till The Casket Drops. In fact, that unshakable certainty is probably why our boy KAWS jumped at the chance to design their album art (and this story). The whole thing may sound more crazy than confident, sure—but the best usually are.

Oh yea and if you missed "I'm Sorry Taylor"

spotted at nr

I miss these guys!! Can't wait till the Orlando show Nov 17th at Club Firestone!! Thats my family right there....

Here is part of the press release. Drops 11/17

“The Evil Genius” DJ Green Lantern, and Styles P “The Ghost” have joined forces to create a monster – “The Green Ghost Project” – and on Nov 17th the world will say “It’s Alive!!!”

“The Green Ghost Project”, a joint album filled with original production from DJ Green Lantern, Alchemist, Scram Jones, Statik Selektah, etc., can be seen as the next natural step for the two mixtape veterans who constantly look to push the boundaries of how Hip Hop is given to the fans. “Styles and I got together and made a monster”, says Green of the project, which is being distributed through Invasion/The Orchard.

“Don’t call me ‘The Ghost’ right now, call me ‘The Green Ghost’”, remarks Styles P about the album’s sinister undertone. “It’s a different display of talent. We got together and brainstormed about it and it came out crazy!”

DJ Green Lantern and Styles also added some potent ingredients to the mix in the form of guest appearances from Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, M.O.P, N.O.R.E, Uncle Murda, Junior Reid, and more, taking “The Green Ghost Project” to truly “monstrous” proportions.

’ll tell you, I was a Young Chris fan from the Roc-a-fella days – but after speaking with him, I’m really going to be following his career hard. He’s a great artist and has a terrific understanding of the industry.

He speaks to me about the “gift and the curse” of having Jay-Z co-sign him at such an early age. Also speaks about the alleged breakup of State Property, as well as the motives behind giving away so much music.

A great conversation with a great artist.

The NMC must have all gotten together and decided to crush the internet this evening so we thank them for feeling nice today because they have decided to debut this new track from Dewayne and Aubrey and well there is nothing really more to say about this so enjoy.

shouts to on air idiots

I like this kid Donnis, a lot.

This kid is VERY on point...

I am speechless.

Lyrics:

This is why I do this shit
I think they call this, uh, venting
Yeah, look, uh

This is me, still the same
They want the hits, I play the game
No Auto-Tune, but you can feel the pain
It all comes spillin’ out like I hit a vein
What up Li’l Bra? What up, Slum Vil?
I hope you know that y’all the reason I have fun still
And fans thinkin’ that we all sign for one mill
Equal opportunity rappin’, that shit is unreal
That ain’t how it works, that ain’t how it goes
I be gettin’ high just to balance out the lows
And I could use a writer just to balance out my flows
But I never share my thoughts, this is all a nigga knows
And every time I try, it opens up my eyes
These verses are a chance to be remembered and reprised
And I will be performing this as long as I’m alive
So every word I utter will be mind

Don’t believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don’t be scared of me
Please don’t be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn’t new
So please don’t be scared of me
Please don’t be scared of me

(Don’t take this the wrong way, but, uh)
I never cried when ‘Pac died
But I prolly will when Hov does
And if my tears hold value
Then I will drop one for every single thing he showed us
And I’ll be standin’ in a puddle
I stay away from niggas that could land me in some trouble
And I’ma keep it honest, I’m so tired of bein’ subtle
It’s just me, 40, O, and Neeks, standin’ in a huddle
Starin’ at the members of my team
Who get questioned ’bout their profit from this million-dollar scheme
Just know that I’m in debt, for you defended all our dreams
I hope you tell your families this shit ain’t what it seems
But y’all the reason for a lot of my devotion
You know I spend money because spendin’ time is hopeless
And know I pop bottles ’cause I bottle my emotions
At least I put it all in the open

Don’t believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don’t be scared of me
Please don’t be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn’t new
So please don’t be scared of me
Please don’t be scared of me

Look, fuck all y’all, we ignore feelings here
Premature millionaires, welcome to my realest year
Yeah, I swear that we makin’ a killin’ here
I should be on top of the world, just chillin’ here
Uh, but it’s funny havin’ fans
Who find you before anybody ever has the chance
And builds you up so you could be the biggest in the game
And realize when you’re there, sometimes your shit don’t feel the same
Yeah, and plus things are just too real at home
People think I changed, just ’cause my appeal has grown
And that security follow me everywhere
So I never actually am alone, I just always feel alone
I think I’m scared of what the future holds
I was wishin’ for some things and now I’m used to those
Every girl I meet thinks I’m fuckin’ groupie hos
The honesty in my music has left me too exposed
All my old friends think I got a new crowd
And people seem to notice every time I do smile
I guess that mean they come few and far between
Even though I’m living out what you would call the dream
Yeah, and my uncle ain’t even messagin’ me
And him missin’ in my life is kinda messin’ with me
I hope this isn’t one of those forever things
It’s funny how money can change everything

Don’t believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don’t be scared of me
Please don’t be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn’t new
So please don’t be scared of me
Please don’t be scared of me
