Lupe Fiasco.

Lupe Is back at it again. He has been in the studio constantly preparing for his new album, and mix-tape that drops November 25th. Recently he released some new free styles that has peoples minds perplexed. He says know he has something to prove. People don't believe he is one of the top rappers. Lupe Fiasco was was more Confused, than disappointed that he didn't make Mtv's Best rapper List, he didn't even make the honorable mention.

"For me it was like, I guess you feel a certain way like, ‘I hope these people aren’t forgetting about me. Are they forgetting about me? Is this what the status quo is right now and I’m not in that? That’s unacceptable.' I feel like I’m nice or nicer than all of them, and it’s not taking shots at anybody. It’s the same situation where if there’s competition and this is what it is, it’s like, ‘OK, I can do that. I can play ball with you guys."-Lupe Fiasco
Lupe Did a freestyle to that New Timberland and Drake song "Say Something" This was absolutely amazing. Hands down, his freestyle was better than Drakes verse in general. If you Check out the free style Look at the lyrics. Best Rapper Alive.

Jay Z Run This Town Video Premire

And Revolution is needed for us hip hoppers to unite and rise up against the current climate. This video is a continuation of DOA to me. DOA sparks the revolution. This song exemplifies the coming together of the hip hoppers. What cha think? leme kno Check it out.

Jay Z New Single Run This Town Ft. Kanye and Rihianna


Jay-Z has released the first single from his Blueprint 3 album called "Run This Town" which features both Kanye West and Rihanna.The song was reportedly Switched . with a single ft Drake as his first official single from the album. But Rumors stated that this was changed. Drake recently spoke on Jay-Z's first official single from The Blueprint 3, "Run This Town," and killed rumors of being replaced by Rihanna.

I don't know who came up with that rumor to be honest, but I always knew what Jay's first single was going to be," Drake said in an interview. "Me and Jay did a lot of work together. Maybe at one point he was considering doing it and someone got over-excited and put out a press release that I was going to be on the first single. I think Jay made a great choice. I think the 'Run This Town' song is phenomenal. I think Kanye [West] kills that sh*t. I actually heard that song when it was a Rihanna track...We have more than one record to pick from. Jay-Z is one of those guys that's just too good. I would be definitely disappointed if I wasn't on it. I think it's going to be a legendary project. I have my fingers crossed -hiphopdx



I liked the Song Preaty great. But to me it was lacking as a HIT single. Idk. Kanye went Harder then both of jay's verse to me. But Jaz is a beast. He gets on my nerves at times. Hypocritical but come on Jays a trend setter from the usage of keyboard swizz beats in the late 90s 2 the usage of soul samples in the early 00s. He had all the rappers saying "holla" he had all the rappers wearin throwbacks then he had all the rappers wearing button ups. Im jus sayin. I'm intersted in how the former single with him and drake sounded.

Drake Explains His “Best I Ever Had” Video


I was anticipating for this video, and when i was told by like 2 million females that it was whack. i was pisseddd. I finally got to see it my self, and beside and the boobs, and fine chicks, it was in fact.... kind of whack. That was until i began to understand the concept. Best I ever had. dosent mean they are the best. its the Best I Ever Had. Makes sense. But anyways Thank you Kanye for Failing us cant Win every time.So please dont expect to get an award, and throw a lawn chairs lol Naw i liked it. Here Drakes explanation:
“The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don’t take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning.”

Lil Wayne: “I’ll Murder Your Family, Your Child, Your Newborn!”

OMFG! dude Wyane is crazy. We all know something happend to this guy between the Carter 2 and three. Too much Tylenol Codine!?!? A bad fall? Why does his vocal chords sound like he is eating a old Yellow dish sponge? lol Anyways Check out this video of Waynes interview. Has the Young Money CEO lost his mind??

Game And Jay z Beef?

During the last past four years rumors about Jay and Game beef had been spreaded but each time they have been dismissed. This time it's 4rea. Well At least for the Game. The Game is fed up with jay for various reasons. The Game is continuing his attacks on rap artist and Roc Nation CEO Jay-Z, this time with a new song entitled “I’m So Wavy” where not only does he attack Jay-Z but also makes another mention of Jay’Z’s wife and R&B singer Beyonce Knowles-Carter. The Game alleged that she slept with NBA/NFL pros in a previous attack, he aslo defendsKanye West. He also mentions Amber Rose (yikes) and defends Chris Brown after alleged rumors. inally, he attacks Jay-Z for his age taking a piece from M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” song claiming, “No one on the corner got a swagger like you/cause no one on the corner is f-cking 42,” as The Game claims that the Roc will soon be M.I.A. Dayummm! lol Check out the videos.

-My face When the Cops had Threatened to Confiscate my cds

Thank you all for your support and help. I made it down to New Orleans. Currently I'm taking classes at Loyola University. I could not have made it with out you all support. And thank you so much for the donations! i'm working on the thank you cards as i type! So i know ya wanna hear the Full story. Right? of course well....

PART ONEEE
-----------------------
Things for me just wasn't turning out as planned. I was going to have an album release party, but that morning the air condition went out. All bad news. The party was canceled And this was the day before I Left. Somehow i had to at least come up with 900 dollars by the next day for my summer program. I was panicking hard, but i couldn't let it get to my spirits. I packed my bag full of MME. College Tuition Cds and proceeded to the Delmar Loop. It was a Bright sunny day, my eyes were squinted majority of the time. This was my moment, my last opportunity, go hard or go home, and i haven't even batted yet. I went to the middle of the intersection with my "Will work for college Tuition" Card board sign. People looked at me perturbed, Teenagers laughed, but yet you could see the determination in my eyes, a block and half away. some cars even stopped to see what i was talking about, i managed to sell about 10 just standing between the yellow street lines. A few of my friends met me, came out supported and bought a cd. Appreciated it so much. I Met up with an Old Mentor of mine, he bought a cd for a hundred bucks. I was getting into a groove selling cd, and just walking and networking with people about MME. As the sky was getting darker, the police noticed me and the MME crew. The approached us and threaten to to take our cds and posters if we don't stop this instant. I dropped my poster with out looking at the cop. I couldn't. I wasn't afraid of the cop. I was afraid of my self. What could have came out of me from this situation. Here I am 600 bucks away from college, and im stopped short. I decided i had to stop that instant. cause if i start selling again, and a cop tuggs his hands on my "College Tuition". I'm not gonna have it, it was to much pressure inside of me. He would have said something and i would have been like "what the F**** u doing man!" Then this young black male would have end up getting clubbed in front of ben and jerrys. lol My future is resting upon this.And i wasn't about to let my self explode.I took a deep breath. closed my eyes and prayed for the best. As the night the ended i still kept a Positive mindset, even though we didn't have the money, we were still driving down the next morning. I dint acre i was going to get it somehow. i could sell ma cd on tha way. I can sell at orientation. I wasn't going to be stopped. I came to far. I am to strong . How can i can stop now cause Im finna put it on. I got the will Im on my way. And this is my life how dare do i play. I'm Un-breakable.

M.M.E. Presents College Tuition!


M.M.E Present’s College Tuition

Muhammad Austin, the CEO of Musical Masterminds Entertainment, came up with this idea along with his artists, and friends, of creating a Cd Compilation, where the proceeds all go directly to his college tuition.

Muhammad has been accepted into Loyola University, New Orleans. He needs to attend the Summer Bridge Program at Loyola, and has a balance of $2,000+ in order for him to attend.

Further, his financial aid package at this prestigious institution, including scholarships, grants and loans, still leaves him with a $10,000 to pay for the rest of his tuition.

As a talented producer since the age of 13, rapper and music artist, and avid learner his desire to attend Loyola, New Orleans, for Music Industry Studies is greatly encouraged by his friends and family.

“As a writer, rapper, and producer, and I just recently founded my own Recording Company and Group, Musical Masterminds Entertainment, M.M.E. Even with EMI publishing expressing interest in signing me to a publishing deal, as most know, breaking into this industry takes hard work, dedication, and knowledge. I believe that Loyola, New Orleans, is my best opportunity, to get increased knowledge and continue my dedication to my craft. With Loyola the future opportunities are endless.”

Compilation Songs Include:

High School Sweetheart
Go
M.M.E.
Un-Breakable
and much more!

All tracks were produced by Mo Tracks (Muhammad Austin)

M.M.E. ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Jasmine Price MME POET






Bio: When I grow up I want to save the world. This is my personal motto. It is more than a mere goal it is a life’s ambition. I want...No need to do something …be somebody. I need to touch other hearts and grasp god.
Thats why my poetry aims at the hearts seams...cant relay a message unless the reader can feel me for real.My name is Jasmine Price future cultural anthropologist and double threat as a part time writer.I am one of the earliest members of we the best ! Inclined!


Check out one of her poems:

My sisters and i know hunger


my sisters and i we know hunger
met him when our bodies departed the womb
skin met light
lungs met air

know him now just as well as ever
he holds our hands
as we track through these means streets

his electric empyting aura
rumbles at the pits of our stomaches
as we crisscross through concrete jungles

my sister her head in the clouds
chasing purple hazes
dizzy off these purple hazes
smoke filled lungs
fuzzy dreams

the other chasing green papper
but she dont know how to read and write on paper
lord let some jolt of mind save her shes lost

you can call me queen of hearts
dying off these broken hearts
tryna hold up these dreams
I refuse to be stuck
wandering like a brown phantom
walking corners
made of broken dreams and rock

hopscotching corners
tryin not to land on cracks for fear of breaking
my mothers back
a back already broken by
depts, economic woe, and wild girl children

she gotta feed these children
but sometimes she can hardly feed herelf

It was my therapy, you the audience giving me feed back was the therapist on the couch taking notes. it shows the mastermind between love and hate, the ups and the down. I let this track release my anger. There were no loops on the track either it was all done by hands, by the Musical Masterminds Symphony :) or Mo Tracks...me of course. Pleas leave comments and tell me what u think. Very soon, Lyrics, and vocalists will be a added to tha track so stay tuned.

Jay-Z Talks Business, Success in New Interview


When Jay-Z told the world that he wasn’t “a business man, I’m a business, man,” the world seemed to take notice. After humble beginnings with a once independent Roc-A-Fella Records, Mr. Carter rode his success to the top of the charts and the top of the boardroom.

In a new interview with Best Life, Jay-Z dropped some gems on business, personal tastes, and the secrets to his success.

On his personal tastes: "I've always wanted to stay true to myself, and I've managed to do that. People have to accept that. I collect art, and I drink wine...things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, 'I'm going to buy art to impress this crowd.' That's just ridiculous to me. I don't live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?"

On business: "My brands are an extension of me. They're close to me. It's not like running GM, where there's no emotional attachment."

"The clothes are an extension of me. The music is an extension of me. All my businesses are part of the culture, so I have to stay true to whatever I'm feeling at the time, whatever direction I'm heading in. And hopefully, everyone follows."
