Grown Mannerisms

Posted by Bossip Staff

Ludacris and T.I. have squashed their ‘beef’ and will be working together:

“There’s a time and place for everything, and now is the time. This [upcoming] album, Theater of the Mind, is an event, and all the songs on it are events,” Luda said. “I felt like there was no bigger event in hip-hop at this moment than me and T.I. working together.”

“Me and dude never had no problems,” T.I. elaborated a few days ago while calling in to DJ Self’s Sirius Satellite Radio show. “It was always turmoil between our camp and his camp. Us as the bosses of our companies, everyone is gonna follow our lead. We’d figure if it ain’t no problem and we don’t have no issues, no beef, then there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to get together and make music. That was an executive decision that was made on both our behalves.”

“It’s showing that once great minds set their differences aside, they can make something happen,” Alfamega, who’s signed to T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records, said at the Ozone Awards red carpet. “That’s two grown men — not two grown males, grown men!”

It’s about damn time they got it together. Grown men walking around wanting to fight each other and ish over some BS is for simple ass niccas.

Deep Denial

In a recent interview, Rick Ross continued to deny ever being a corrections officer:

“In the game we in, it’s real competitive,” Ross told Power 98.3 FM. “Competitors have to do what they have to do to eat. We making the best music. Y’all seen the BET Awards, y’all saw the magazine. We the biggest in the game, we the best in the game. Just keeping it real. And anytime somebody can attack my character, like I said, you get nothing from the Boss. I don’t give haters the pleasure.“

“When you get to my level, you’re a great conversation piece,” Rick Ross calmly explained. “I’m big on the blogs, I’m big on the magazines, and I appreciate that as an artist. That’s why I’m in the game. I got in this game to introduce people and to make great music. And that’s what it’s about.

“We gon’ keep the records coming, we gon’ keep the music coming. Like I said, I’m one of the realest sources of this real street music in this game. Straight out of Miami, straight out of M-I-Yayo. One of my closest homies was on America’s Most Wanted.”

Ross also revealed that he and Foxy Brown were no longer an item.

Is the fact that he claims to know someone who was once on America’s Most Wanted supposed to prove something? He probably met that dude while he was working at the pen. SMH.

What’s Beef??

Here is Trick Daddy’s response to the rumors that he leaked the Rick Ross C.O. photos:

“We don’t deal with rap beef down here. That’s not in our character. That’s not something we do. We’re the only city that ever gets compared to other people’s entire states. Whoever put my name in this is really attacking all of us. I told Ross he needs to have better people around him. He needs better publicists, so that he can avoid even being asked those type of funny questions. I been in this game for thirteen years, and anybody who’s ever listened to my music knows Trick Daddy is very smart. I know when somebody’s trying to use me and pull me into some s**t. But the people doing this need to understand what their words can do too. When you start talking about beef, and creating [situations] between people from the same hood, you gotta realize that that beef s**t can end with one man in jail and another man gone.” Continue »

Soulja Boy: Game Over

Posted by Bossip Staff

It would appear as though the war between “good hip-hop” and “wack hip hop” will be on hold indefinitely:

“Basically comments were made (by Ice-T) and I had to defend myself,” Soulja Boy explained. “The GZA had said something about me one time and 50 jumped in it. And this time it was Ice-T and Kanye jumped in it. It’s the new Hip-Hop sticking together and I love it.”

“Look how many people came out with records last year: ‘Party Like a Rockstar,’ ‘A Bay Bay,’ ‘Wipe Me Down,’” Soulja Boy reasoned. “He (Ice-T) chose me because out of all those records mine was the biggest one. And [it was] not just the record but me individually.”

After the disrespectful remarks made by both sides on each other’s musical contributions to Hip-Hop, which are significant, Soulja Boy also welcomes closure to the unnecessary animosity. “It’s over with for me,” Soulja Boy stated emphatically.

Sounds like this little fella is declaring himself the official winner of this particular feud. Well at least it’s finally over and these guys can stop acting like a bunch of pansies.

Bugsy’s up to His Usual Tricks

Posted by Bossip Staff

No Cent neither confirms or denies that he dissed T.I. in G-Unit’s track “You So Tough”:

He didn’t say T.I.’s name — but the general consensus by hip-hop fans, journalists and bloggers is that 50 Cent took a jab at the King of the South on the G-Unit’s album cut “You So Tough.” Fif’s alleged implication about Tip? The unbelievable: that T.I. is a snitch who’s working with the authorities to get a lighter prison sentence. On the record, which appears on the Unit’s new Terminate on Sight LP, 50 raps “Nowadays this rap sh– ain’t adding up/ How n—-s get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months/ Oowee, don’t talk to me/ You talk to him, you talking to them.” Continue »
