However there is a select few of you all who are salty at the Labels for not footing the bill of his hospital surgery. This article is dedicated you all. See more....

You’re Charging for a Guest Verse? Really? Really?

I am all for supporting your living, but I am for making great music before that. When you try to put the money over the music, it does not matter if you haven’t done a song with Soulja Boy yet. You’ve already sold out. If you forget where you came from then you will lose sight of where you’re going. Listen and download....

Lil Duval Tweet to Teena Marie: “Hey, r u dead?”

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 01/05/11 | Filed under Features, Lil Duval

Lil Duval, relatively unknown before Twitter (I live in Long Island. Not ATL. I'd like to visit though.), has slowly risen to be one of the figures in daily constantly changing pop culture. Duval tweets continually (engulfing some with laughter and others with aneurysms) to his 400k twitter fans. On 12/26, due to the rampant rumors on twitter announcing R&B singer Teena Marie's untimely death, he tweeted her well known personal account saying, "Hey, r u dead?" See more...

Hey Rappers: Enjoying Kanye West’s Sloppy Seconds?

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 12/14/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, IFuxksWithThat

Kanye West went AWOL for six months, came back in a furor, capped a marketing campaign (I’ll explain in a few), and then dropped a classic album. Legendary stuff right? Let’s not hear that from a Kanye fan though, let us hear that from the music industry. Pay attention to trends. See more...

Is Chris Brown Officially Back?

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 12/09/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Chris Brown

“Reputation takes months to build…and only seconds to destroy” This quote is true for everything that we deal with in life. You can be a perfect employee for six years up until the day you fuxk up. That is just the way life is – we have to accept these things. Chris Brown had his career flash before his eyes in a flash February 2009. In one instant he went from A list artist to exiled.

Why I’m Boycotting Kanye’s “Runaway” Movie

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 10/26/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Jacques "Jooks" Morels

I was FWD’d the "Kanye Runaway" Premiere. Of course I was planning on using someone else’s name, but it happened. I waited on line for almost two hours…and I was not allowed in. But that is not why I have not seen it yet. The moment it hit MTV, I did not want to watch it anymore. It is not because I felt that I was wronged by not being able to attend the premier; I just felt different to wanting to watch it. See more...

Jay-Z Really Does Run This Town

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 10/12/10 | Filed under Features, Jay-Z

The moment Jay-Z walked into the room we all knew that he walked in – no denying that. The excitement in the room subtly died down. Everyone then proceeded to look at Jay Z through the corner of their eyes. Me? I flat out stared. I even asked my contact if I could get a picture. She replied – “No! Don’t get us kicked out of here." See more...

Mickey Factz & the Pitfalls of Unearned Ego

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 09/28/10 | Filed under Features, Mickey Factz, Jacques "Jooks" Morel

Mickey Factz released his long awaited tape entitled "I’m Better Than You" yesterday. What’s the verdict on "I’m Better Than You"? The beats are futuristic and the rhymes are there. Factz has bars. Can he proclaim that he is better than every other rapper? No. It’s an unfounded statement. If he can’t talk to rappers like that, is he talking to us? The fan? It feels like it. See more...

Kid Cudi, Wale, Rare Beef & Other Assorted D-Baggery

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 09/22/10 | Filed under Features, Kid Cudi, Wale, Beef, Jacques "Jooks" Morel

We have all come to grips that Kid Cudi is a different person. What once was the humble Hip Hop star has turned into something much larger than all of us expected. His comments during the Complex interview were rash and somewhat cocky – the revelation of a daughter is interesting. Is this bravado justified? See more...
