| Jay-Z Will Never Respond To Beanie Sigel's Dis, Memphis Bleek Says Posted: 18 Feb 2010 03:50 AM PST Former Roc-A-Fella rapper calls Beans' recent comments 'pointless,' in Mixtape Daily.
The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive By the time you read this, Memphis Bleek will have flown out of New Jersey and landed in Florida to meet Jay-Z. The two are rehearsing for the next leg of the Blueprint 3 Tour for the next couple of days, and the real thing kicks off this weekend. Although we haven't heard a lot of Memph's music the last three years, he has constantly been performing at Jay-Z's shows and keeping a close bond with the cat he used to borrow sugar from in the Marcy Projects. When Bleek drops his next album, The Process, later this year, things will be different. The independent release will be his first album not coming through Roc-A-Fella records.
"It was mutual," Bleek said about not signing with Hov's Roc Nation and choosing to go independent. "It was a conversation ... I was asking him his next move. What is he gonna do? Where is Blueprint 3 coming out, since he had just left Def Jam. He was telling me he was doing this Roc Nation thing. He was trying to start a whole new venture, new label, new brand — a whole new everything. I was like, 'Damn. What's next for me?' He was like, 'Whatever you wanna do.' After a little bit of thinking, I came to a decision: 'It's time for [my company] Get Lo to breathe. I can't be under that umbrella forever.' The conversation was more or less mutual. "He's giving me the free will to do whatever I want to do," added Bleek, who said Just Blaze produced two songs on his upcoming LP. "Time for me to prove myself on my terms." Obviously, with Bleek and Jay, their relationship is based on more than music. Bleek said he thought Beanie Sigel and Jay had that same bond. Just like many fans, Memph said he was shocked that Beans came out dissing him and Jay. Just this week, during a live show in Philadelphia, Beans spit his flames at Jay and Bleek again, rapping, "Memph Bleek pee the sheets/ Leave the bed all wetty." "My thing is, what's the purpose?" Bleek said about Sigel's outburst. "You said all you had to say. You said you wasn't gonna say no more until Jay called you. He ain't call. Everything you said ain't adding up. It becomes a point, what are you doing it for? Are you doing it to get you a deal? Are you doing it to get you hot, doing it to get you back on the radio? That's all I wanna know. Anybody knows if you come at Hov, you're not stopping his movement. C'mon, it's stupid. We been there before. We seen this movie. I hate to elaborate on it, because it's like I'm breathing life on a situation that really don't need no life to it." Bleek said he spoke to Beans the night before the Powerhouse show in Philadelphia last year, and the Broad Street Bully gave him no indication that there was any ill will. "For it to come out the blue like this, it was like, 'Oh, this is what you really was thinking?' " Bleek said. "When Ice Cube left N.W.A, it was automatic dis records. Automatic. They was coming at each other. The Roc had split up in 2003. We in 2010. Seven years later, you wanna dis? It's pointless. It's no truth to it. 'Jay is this, Jay is foul.' Jay is not foul. This is what I tell everybody: Opportunity is worth more than a check. So that's what people need to understand. He gave the opportunity to get rich. It ain't about the check he didn't give you. I didn't get it. The check you waiting for, I'm waiting for too then. My opportunity is to be able to do this interview with you, still be relevant, be onstage with that man and even be a part of history and what we did. That's more than any dollar amount. You can push it however far you gonna carry it." With all that has transpired lately, Bleek said the chances of mending any fences with Sig are less than bleak. "Could it ever be mended? Jay is gone," Bleek said. "I could sit down with Beans. You wanna holla with me, he knows how to get in contact with me. I'm out here. Jay's gone. Ain't no time to look back. Where [Jay's] at, no time to look back. If Jay looks back, it's the back of the G5 [jet], luggage. He's gone. We don't need that. Where's the problem? When [all the Roc-A-Fella artists] signed their release paper and went their separate ways, it was no problem. Now it's a problem. Why do you need to talk?" As for the footage that recently hit the Net of Bleek and former Roc co-CEO Damon Dash showing each other love in Europe, Bleek said that video was old. "That was almost three years ago," he clarified. "We was on the Water for Life Tour. I knew all that was gonna come out. I thought it was gonna come out before. Like I say to anybody else, Dame is a cool dude. Dame did things for me in my career I could never take back. I could never down him for nothing."

| Travis Barker Gets RZA, Slipknot's Corey Taylor, More On Solo Album Posted: 18 Feb 2010 03:50 AM PST 'It's a live record — we were in a room together where everything was live,' he says of collaboration with Wu-Tang's RZA.
Travis Barker is a busy man. He just announced his new collaboration with DJ A-Trak (a tour that will kick off in Hollywood on March 9), a new Blink-182 album is on the horizon and he has his ongoing session and remix work. But his most immediate project is a long-in-the-works solo album. Barker told MTV News back in November that he wanted to have the album out "in January or February," and though he's blown that deadline, the next one is set in stone. "We just got a new date for June," Barker said. "That's when I have to turn it in. It can't change, it can't move — that's the time!"
The yet-untitled album promises to be a collection that leaps across genres and features a who's who of musical luminaries, including Slash, Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington and the aforementioned A-Trak. More recently he scored himself collaborations with Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA and Slipknot singer Corey Taylor (though not on the same track). Barker says the track that features Taylor on guitar and vocals is "on the heavier side — not as heavy as Slipknot, but heavier than any rock stuff I've done. We recorded the whole thing in an hour or two." As for his team-up with RZA, it allowed the rapper/producer to spread his wings a bit. "RZA plays guitar on the track that will be on my record," Barker says. "It's a live record — we were in a room together where everything was live. It reminds me of old Beastie Boys, like Check Your Head when they all started playing instruments again." In the meantime, fans itching for Barker's work will soon be able to enjoy his remix of Snoop Dogg's hit "I Wanna Rock." "It's done," Barker said. "I hope people like it." |
| Lloyd Banks Calls 'We Are The World' Remake 'A Good Look' Posted: 18 Feb 2010 03:50 AM PST 'They brought it to a new audience,' the G-Unit rapper says of the Haiti benefit single.
NEW YORK — Lloyd Banks said he wasn't deeply touched by the original version of "We Are the World" when it came out in 1985; the Southside Queens native was just barely 2 years old when the star-studded charity record debuted. So, understandably, Banks said he has no problem with the record being remade. "To be honest with you, I'm very aware of the record and how big the record was," he said Wednesday afternoon at the G-Unit office. "But I was so young at the time, it really doesn't affect me the way it would affect an older rapper. They might have completely understood what the record was. It doesn't disappoint me they had rap in it now. It's kids out there that never heard the record to begin with. I can't say they messed the record up. If anything, they brought it to a new audience.
"Michael Jackson was a phenomenal artist. It will never be another one of those guys," Banks added. "So anything would have not topped [the original version]. You could have anybody sing on that. But it was a good look. It was for a good cause." Jay-Z, meanwhile, told MTV News that the original was "untouchable" and was surprised that it was remade. Banks found out about the tragic earthquake in Haiti when he was released from jail in Canada and came back home to the U.S. The G-Unit rapper was arrested for assault and robbery last month after an alleged dispute with a concert promoter. "Actually, when I had first came back from jail, I seen that," he explained. "It was the first thing I saw in the airport. It really bothered me. People was sending me stuff through the phone; [pictures] of people lined up dead. It really bothered me. From that point on, I was like, 'Whatever I could do [to help], I'll be there. A concert or whatever.' I have a lot of close friends that are Haitian, including Sha Money XL, Tony Yayo, Whoo Kid and some of my guys from the street. It's like, 'Damn, they got family members they still haven't heard from to this day.' I wouldn't know what I would do in that situation. My heart goes out to all those people who lost somebody."

| Andrew Garcia, Crystal Bowersox Round Out 'American Idol' Top 24 Posted: 17 Feb 2010 08:17 AM PST Seventeen more finalists join the top 24 as confusion reigns over final male slot.
With a wait almost as painful as the one the contestants went through, "American Idol" fans finally got the rest of this year's top 24 on Wednesday night (February 17), with a number of early favorites making the semifinals, including Andrew Garcia, Crystal Bowersox, Katie Stevens, Ashley Rodriguez and Haeley Vaughn. After seven singers made the cut on Tuesday, the first woman through the gate on night two was Orlando's Janell Wheeler, 24, whose Hollywood Week was filled with ups and downs, swinging between a strong acoustic performance of Estelle's "American Boy" to a blown take of Taylor Swift's "Love Story." New judge Ellen DeGeneres kept up her rope-a-dope style, seemingly setting the blond wine-sales rep up for disappointment only to wave Wheeler through.
With the pace much quicker than Tuesday night's pedantic two-hour torture session, deep voiced, shaggy-haired '70s rocker Tyler Grady quickly got his ticket punched. "I think we wanna see those moves again," Kara DioGuardi told the drummer about his Roger Daltrey-inspired stage acrobatics. He was swiftly followed by second-timer Lacey Brown, who made the top 50 last season and was back in the hot seat. Despite Simon Cowell telling her the female competition was even tougher this year, Brown got in thanks to a haunting rendition of "Over the Rainbow." Diva-in-training Ashley Rodriguez was next, followed by ukulele-strumming Alex Lambert, little-seen Joe Muñoz and Paige Miles, quirky "Pretty in Pink"-style '80s singer Siobhan Magnus and another below-the-radar favorite, Michelle Delamor, the 22-year-old Miami native who sang Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" alongside fellow semifinalist Rodriguez. Early favorite, dreadlocked Chicago rocker Bowersox, got a bid as well after nailing it with a gripping cover of Sheryl Crow"s "If It Makes You Happy" during Hollywood week. "I want this so bad," she told Simon when he suggested that she was the type of person who would have thought "Idol" was the right platform for her. Randy Jackson dubbed the singer "Mama 'Sox" after she showed the judges a picture of her young son, Tony. "I feel like I can surprise all of you ... I'm very glad I came," an emotional Bowersox said. One of this year's youngest contestants, 17-year-old Katie Stevens — who tried out for the show in honor of her Alzheimer's-stricken elderly grandmother — blew it out in Hollywood with her take on Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life." She, too, got the DeGeneres fake-out, sitting on pins and needles and on the verge of tears as the talk-show host teased about hating to give bad news. In a touching moment, Cowell asked Stevens how her grandmother was doing as she exited the stage. The judges were a bit easier on 16-year-old Haeley Vaughn, the bubbly teen whose dream is to be the first black pop-country mainstream star. With just one spot left for a girl, Vaughn — who Cowell said verged from fantastic to a bit annoying in Hollywood — got the call while a devastated Tori Kelly was sent packing. Even a bit of diva fuss didn't stand in the way of Jermaine Sellers, while Internet sensation John Park will finally get more screen time, to the delight of his legion of fans who've dubbed themselves the Park Rangers. Among those not making it to the top 24 were Destiny's Wild member Jareb Liewer and Maddie Penrose, whose oversized glasses made her stand out in the crowd, as well as a teary Angela Martin, who struck out in her third consecutive attempt at making the "Idol" finals. Kara sat by her side, telling her, "We just think you are so special and have improved so much, don't we guys?" as Ellen looked on with tears in her eyes. DioGuardi broke the bad news again, telling Martin — whose father was killed during the lead-up to her season-seven auditions, and who spent six days in jail for traffic violations last year — that she should keep on going. "You are a star no matter what," she said. "You are one of the bravest people have ever met." Jazzy bleach-blond Lilly Scott killed it with Ella Fitzgerald's "Lullaby of Birdland" during Hollywood, before falling down hard on Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl." But Kara, who said she didn't have the strongest voice while praising the sandwich maker's unique style, made her dreams come true with a top-24 berth. Along with Bowersox, the year's other early frontrunner, Andrew Garcia, who killed it with his Adam Lambert-esque take on former judge Paula Abdul's "Straight Up," easily passed through. "You feel good about this week what you did?" DeGeneres asked Garcia, who said he did and that he enjoyed mixing up arrangements. "We like that too, so we can't wait to see you. You made it. Meanwhile, soft-spoken R&B powerhouse Thaddeus Johnson got aced out and did the long, tear-stained walk out of the Kodak Theater. Confusion reigned at show's end as the top 24 was announced seemingly without the final male slot revealed. A final montage featured Chris Golightly among the finalists, but in the following celebratory montage he was inexplicably replaced by Tim Urban. Requests for comment from an "Idol" spokesperson were not returned at press time. The show goes live for the first time this year next Tuesday with the top 12 girls performing, during which fans will get their first live look at new judge DeGeneres. Wednesday night will bring the big stage debut of the top 12 boys. Get your "Idol" fix on MTV News' "American Idol" page, where you'll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions. |
| Lady Gaga Dishes On Revamped Monster Ball Tour Posted: 17 Feb 2010 03:43 AM PST 'The show's completely different and I have some really amazing surprises,' singer says after Brit Awards on Tuesday.
While Lady Gaga's performance at the Brit Awards on Tuesday was a heartfelt tribute to her late friend, designer Alexander McQueen, the show served as a preview for the next phase of her Monster Ball Tour, which launches in England on February 18 before moving on to New Zealand, Australia and Japan in March. In an interview with London's 95.8 Capital-FM on Tuesday, the singer spilled a few new details on what her fans can expect. "The show is a musical, it's not just a pop show, there are lines and a score — there's a lot of music that you haven't heard before. Some of it's very old, some of it's new, there are scores specifically for the show itself," Gaga said. "The show's completely different and I have some really amazing surprises, and it's unlike anything I've done before."
She also spoke a bit about the bizarre keytar that she played during the Brit Awards, which turns out to be the Haus of Gaga's latest innovation. "We have this new instrument that I brought to the Brits tonight, 'Emma,' which is what I was playing on the stage. She's a hybrid from all these other instruments, which is quite funny to deal with," she explained. Earlier this month, Gaga spoke with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM show about the tour, noting its city vibe. "It's still called Monster Ball, but it's more of a musical and less of a concert. It has a New York theme, it's a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we're going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost," she told Seacrest.

| 'We Are The World' Remake: Was The Lineup <i>Too</i> Contemporary? Posted: 17 Feb 2010 03:09 AM PST Original featured classic voices, update has many less-recognizable stars.
The organizers of the "We Are the World: 25 for Haiti" pulled off a Herculean feat, rallying and recording the track and video for the earthquake-relief effort in record time. Like the sessions for the 1985 original all-star famine relief tune, producer Quincy Jones and songwriter Lionel Richie were able to get a galaxy of contemporary and classic voices to drop what they were doing to lend their time and vocals to a higher cause. But whereas the original features vocals from such still-classic megastars as Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Ray Charles, Jones and Richie said they purposely shuffled the deck on the reboot to focus on contemporary acts. That explains why the track opens with newly minted star Justin Bieber, followed by Jennifer Hudson and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, and quickly segues into solos from Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles, Jamie Foxx, Maroon 5's Adam Levine, Fergie and Nick Jonas, among many others. While there are major, undeniable stars on the new version — Mary J. Blige, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Pink among them — some are wondering if the song's lineup was too contemporary?
"I looked at the video the other day and I will admit I had several 'Who the hell is that?' moments," said Christopher Morris, contributing music writer for Variety magazine of the 8-minute clip for the song shot by Academy Award-winning director Paul Haggis. "Some like Kanye West leap out at you, but it took several go-rounds for me to identify Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls. In terms of legend power, it's on the shorter side." As the new video unfolds, such modern standard-bearers as Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Toni Braxton and Josh Groban are thrown into a mix that also includes old-schoolers Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand, alongside the 1985 vocals from Michael Jackson, who co-wrote the song with Richie, and bits from gospel singers BeBe Winans and Mary Mary. The update's concentration on contemporary stars, some of whom have voices that are not as instantly recognizable, might have contributed to the song's relatively low profile at radio (although it did debut at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100). "Is it likely that an R&B station will put it in regular rotation? Probably not. As a curiosity, yes. But this is not about airplay, which it won't get a lot of, it's about creating a viral hit on YouTube and Vevo, and maybe getting some traction at a few top-40 stations," said Keith Caulfield, Senior Chart Manager/Analyst for Billboard magazine. At a time when terrestrial radio playlists are more narrowly focused than ever before, such a broad, multi-genre song faces an uphill climb to gain major spins on stations that might cotton to stars like Jennifer Hudson and Wayne, but risk alienating their listeners with the likes of Streisand, Josh Groban, Cyrus and Jonas. "I don't know if, given the way things are right now, you could have gotten a similar lineup," Morris said of the high-wattage, cross-genre original. "Music is much more niche-oriented right now and there aren't a huge number of artists who've cut across every listening demo. Even someone like Taylor Swift doesn't command an African-American audience. There's no Michael Jackson in there, except in the old footage, who cuts through every sector of the international listening audience." Despite those challenges, the remake's #2 Billboard debut easily bested the original, which bowed at #21 in March 1985, then rose to #1 three weeks later, eventually earning four-times platinum certification within a month of release (during that era, singles traditionally moved up the charts much more gradually than they do today). The remake entered the Digital Songs chart at #1, selling more than 267,000 copies in less than three days. Even with that firepower, though, it was unable to unseat Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" from its nine-week run at the top of the single's charts. One music journalist at a major music magazine, who requested anonymity, told MTV News that even with a fresh sound courtesy of co-producer RedOne and a vaunted hip-hop section with fresh lyrics from LL Cool J, the new song falls short in a few places. "The general consensus on this remake is that, while it's for a great cause, it is absolutely horrible on a musical level, except for Jennifer Hudson and Pink," the writer said. One artist who was rumored to be participating but who ultimately was not involved, Jay-Z, told MTV News he simply thought the original was "untouchable" and was not something that should be re-imagined. SiriusXM's Rob "Reef" Tewlow, an executive for the station's hip-hop channel Shade 45, agreed with Hov's take. Tewlow also acknowledged the rap portion of the song was commendable. However, Tewlow suggested the rapper's contributions weren't an integral part of the number. "It's just hard to combine MCs into that song and into that type of thing," he explained." It's like trying to fit a baseball into a golfball or something. Noble intentions, and it's good that it's represented in some type of form or fashion, but it's not a make-or-break thing for the song." Though Bieber's fame is brand new, Caulfield understood why Jones and Richie frontloaded his vocals into the song. "Everyone is asking the same question about Bieber, but the creative forces are saying, 'Bieber is the hottest thing with teens, he's trending huge on Twitter every day, selling tons of digital tracks and he'll resonate with little girls going gonzo for his songs.' If you think about it that way, it makes perfect sense when you're trying to craft something that will get lots of attention from as many people as possible." A spokesperson for "We Are the World: 25 for Haiti" could not be reached for comment at press time. With their concept of tapping the talent of today, Morris also gave Jones and Richie credit for doing the best they could with the artists at their disposal in a media environment that is very different than it was a quarter-century ago. "This is a charity single after all, so you want to try and pull in the masses, so they did what they had to, which is to enlist people who sold a lot of records," he said. "It's not a miscalculation on their part, but it's just a very different landscape. The way music is marketed and consumed has changed, the delivery system is fragmented." Getting the kind of mass audience hit as the 1985 song — which has raised more than $60 million to date — today is elusive, Morris said. "It's impossible to reach the ubiquity the first one did. It's a replication of an event that was an unprecedented, huge deal at the time and there's no way that mining something like that again is going to top it." Caulfield credited organizers for getting the song and video out quickly and capitalizing on the buzz of the event, but said he couldn't predict how the song would end up doing commercially. "Is it going to approach the same impact?" he said. "I don't know. But I think sales now are from the immediacy of it and the fact that you could see the video and then buy it two seconds later."

| Kris Allen Plans Haiti Visit For 'American Idol' Fundraiser Posted: 17 Feb 2010 05:52 AM PST Last year's winner will appear on the show next week to share footage of his trip and perform.
Kris Allen will appear on "American Idol" next week to help raise money for Haiti, it was announced Wednesday (February 17). Last year's "Idol" winner has partnered with the United Nations Foundation to take a trip to the earthquake-ravaged country, and he will share footage from his visit and perform on the February 25 results show. Allen will head to Haiti on February 19 to meet with U.N. staff and Haitian people to find out what the country will need to recover in the coming months. Fox told The Associated Press that viewers will be asked to make donations online or by text-messaging during the "Idol" episode, with the money going to the Idol Gives Back Foundation to help support the U.N. Foundation's work in Haiti. "I'm looking forward to traveling to Haiti to see the U.N.'s work firsthand," Allen said in a statement. "The people of Haiti are rebuilding their country, and the U.N. is there to help them every step of the way. I look forward to sharing the images and stories from my trip with 'Idol' viewers across the country." The appearance is part of the show's "Idol Gives Back" charity effort, with the full "Idol Gives Back" episode airing April 21. The charity show took a break last season due to the pressure of producing that show along with the finale. "Idol" judge Randy Jackson suggested that this year's "Idol Gives Back" might benefit Haiti, and it looks like that is part of the plan.

| Adam Lambert, John Legend Sing G-Star's Praises During Fashion Week Posted: 17 Feb 2010 02:11 AM PST 'It is high-fashion, but it's also their vision and their brand,' says celeb spokesmodel Liv Tyler.
NEW YORK — It's New York Fashion Week, and that means the models are primped, the celebrities are front row and the designers are putting the finishing touches on their designs. And, on Tuesday night, the fashionistas flocked to Hammerstein Ballroom to check out the latest collection from denim brand G-Star. Adam Lambert, Estelle and John Legend sat front row alongside the company's latest celebrity spokesmodel, Liv Tyler, to see the models strutting down the catwalk in funky jeans and brightly colored frocks.
"I've been pretty excited and lucky," Tyler told MTV News about her role as the company's face. "I'm enjoying it a lot, because it's something I've never really done before. I like the brand as a whole. I really like what they're doing. It's sort of fashiony, but it's not. ... It is high-fashion, but it's also their vision and their brand. It's authentically them." Tyler isn't the only fan of the company; Kelly Osbourne also made her way to the show. "They're my favorite denim line, to be honest, because I love the cuts, and they always push the boundaries a bit," she said. "Their textiles are amazing. When you get up close, there's always something about it that's a little quirky." Fellow Brit Estelle raved about the fit of the brand's signature jeans. "The jeans fit! Black-girl booty, and the jeans fit!" she laughed. "The structure is great, but the brand is definitely a go-to. Nothing is rubbish." Mena Suvari said the G-Star show is a regular stop on her Fashion Week schedule. "When I'm here in New York for Fashion Week, I like to support my friends, and I've been coming to G-Star for a few years now, and they are so wonderful to us," she said. "And to me, it's denim couture. It's just awesome to see. It's really different and sexy and interesting. Their denim rocks, and it's comfortable and unique. It's special, and they always have the best shows." "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert heard about the show through the grapevine. "I was just told this is the place to be," Lambert said. "So I thought, 'All right, I'll put on my duds and be here.' " Legend decided to check out the show this year after he had become a fan of the company's clothes. "I thought it would be fun. I like what they do," he said. "I think they got a cool brand and cool energy around their brand." "One Tree Hill" star Robert Buckley said that even if you don't like the clothes, the show is just too awe-inspiring to miss. "G-Star's the one company — they don't put on a fashion show, it's more like a fashion spectacular ever year," he said. "It's like Cirque du Soleil-meets-high fashion, and so I'm honestly excited to see what they pull out of the hat this year." Related Videos Related Artists |
