Game Speaks On Possible Nicki Minaj Verse For Trey Songz Collaboration
Game is hoping to get Nicki Minaj on a track for his upcoming album "Jesus Piece."
Game most recently unveiled the controversial cover art for his upcoming album Jesus Piece, and he's planning on ruffling feathers with the LP's content. During an interview with Rap-Up.com, Jayceon Taylor spoke on a cut he has with Trey Songz for which he's hoping to get a Nicki Minaj verse. On the cut, he talks about walking out of the back door of a church and immediately hitting up a strip club."Nicki, she hasn't done it yet. I sent it to her. It's a song with me and Trey on it, and I figure like let me reach for Nicki and we got in touch and she said she'll kill it, but she's doing major work making major money," he said. "But she'll get to it. But the song's going to be dope, man. It's basically about walking out of church. It's basically like, walking out of the back door of the church and falling into the front door of a strip club."
The West Coast rapper talked about trying to balance his religion with his nature. The struggle comes across on the song, and Game's already anticipating backlash from the song.
"I want to get the word and I want my belief to be in God, but at the same time, I want to see that ass clap. I don't even know if that's blasphemy or something like that, but a lot of poeple are going to be happy about the album, there's going to be some people who are a little angry about it. But when have I not made people mad?"
Lil Wayne Says Kanye West Has A "Big Hand" In "I Am Not A Human Being II"

Lil Wayne and Kanye West are back to making music together. During an interview with MTV News, Weezy revealed that in addition to production from Juicy J, David Banner and Cool & Dre, 'Ye will have a "big hand" in his upcoming album I Am Not a Human Being II, dropping in December."Production on the album, I got people like Juicy J, Cool & Dre, David Banner on down to uh — I mean it's so many, shoot. Streetrunner, 'Ye," said Weezy. "Yeah he got some music on there. It's crazy, actually I don't want to give too much up but he's got a big hand in the album, you'll see."
West previously helmed "Comfortable" and "Let the Beat Build" for the Young Money honcho's Tha Carter III.
Meek Mill Explains Concept Behind "In God We Trust"
Meek Mill provides some insight into a track off his upcoming album "Dreams and Nightmares."
Meek Mill is currently prepping the release of his debut album Dreams and Nightmares,
releasing on October 30th. In anticipation of the LP's release, the
Maybach Music group rapper is dropping a series of videos explaining
each track from the project. Following yesterday's clip
about the intro, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native speaks on the
second song "In God We Trust," stating that it's about the troubles that
one faces in the streets."It's just about surviving in the streets, in God we trust, for the love of the money. I seen a lot of young guys go to war. There was even times where we were in positions where it was at war with guys because they wanted to do something to us, and every time they wanted to do something with us, we wanted to do something to them. It might have been over the smallest money transaction that probably had nothing to do with me. Probably one of my friends. You gotta survive and participate. I just wanted to give them that one street joint that nobody giving out no more."
Kendrick Lamar On "good kid, m.A.A.d city": "It Ain't A Classic Yet"
Kendrick Lamar says that his Aftermath debut can't be considered a classic - at least not yet.
The world Hip Hop may be in a total and utter tizzy over the release of Kendrick Lamar's studio debut good kid, m.A.A.d city, but there's one emcee out there who doesn't believe the hype: Kendrick Lamar. Now, in a recent interview with Hot 97, the Compton emcee explains why his Aftermath/Interscope album shouldn't be called a classic.While speaking with Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg, K. Dot said that he doesn't feel his critically lauded debut LP isn't worthy of being labelled a classic yet, saying that it needs at least decade to marinate. He added that while he's proud of the quality of his effort, he's just happy that he was able to work with a group of people who believed in his vision.
"It ain't a classic yet - it's got to be at least ten years," he said. "Oh yeah, definitely [it's the best I could have made it], just off the fact that I had 100% creative control on it. That's what I most proud of - [having] people that respect what I've been doing prior to me signing a major deal and they wanted to continue that."
Nelly Says He Is "Hurt" By Tour Bus Raid
Nelly says the drug and gun bust in his tour bus was "alarming" and "baffling."
On October 11, law enforcement officials pulled over Nelly's tour bus and found heroin, more than 10 pounds of marijuana, and a load .45 caliber handgun.An employee on the bus, Brian Keith Jones, was arrested, and Nelly released a statement claiming he had nothing to do with the matter.
In an interview with MTV News, Nelly gave his thoughts on the matter. "I think it's always alarming. I think in this case it's really alarming when you find yourself in a situation that you didn't put yourself in," he told MTV News on Tuesday (October 23). "That's the only thing that I think is baffling, and I think that's the part that hurts the most."
"You work so hard to achieve certain things, and it's not the consequence that hurts you the most, [it's] the perception," explained Nelly.
The St. Louis rapper elaborated on what he meant with regards to his public perception. "For 14 years, I made my perception what I wanted to make my perception and now my perception may be slightly changed," he said. "Not because of what I did, but because of what someone else did and I think that's the part that hurts you the most."
T.I. Previews 10 Tracks Off "Trouble Man," Calls New Sound A "Hybrid"
Exclusive: HipHopDX was there as T.I.
unleashed a selection of cuts off "Trouble Man" with features including
Andre3000, A$AP Rocky, P!nk, Kendrick Lamar, and R. Kelly.
Tuesday evening (October 23) in New York City belonged to T.I., as the Trap King himself previewed a selection of tracks off his upcoming eighth studio album Trouble Man.
The event was held in NYC's cozy Germano Studios, where Tip played ten
songs for industry tastemakers and label executives. Guest appearances
from T.I.'s wife Tiny, David Banner
and comedian Lil Duval also added to the upbeat, casual environment.
"One thing about my life that is certain," T.I. said, "is trouble."
Having arguably been "out of trouble" recently, the ATL native said now
was the perfect time to unveil this particular project.Trouble Man mixes the perfected trap sound of Trap Muzik with the mainstream sensibility of Paper Trail, a combination that T.I. likes to refer to as a "hybrid" of vintage T.I. with present-day T.I. The Intro samples Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" (though T.I. says the project isn't named after Gaye's classic). On the title track, R. Kelly belts the two words "trouble man" while Tip runs laps around DJ Montay's production. "Somebody That I Used To Know" samples Gotye's hit, and features Kendrick Lamar, along with Grand Hustle signee B.o.B. While Bobby Ray is currently the only Grand Hustle artist on Trouble Man, T.I. assures that may change. The recently released "Ball" with Lil Wayne will also be featured on the project.
However, T.I. seems most pleased with his return to the trap, found on the DJ Toomp-produced cuts "Trap Back Jumping" and the aggressive "Who Want Some," which Tip affectionately refers to as the "What You Know" of this project. No I.D. checks in on the beats for "Wild Side" featuring A$AP Rocky, and T-Minus crafts the soundbeds of "Address" and the P!nk-featured "Guns & Roses," which T.I. hopes will be the "big" song of the album. "Hello" features Cee-Lo and is produced by Pharrell Williams, who called in the middle of the listening session to alert T.I. that people were tweeting about it.
The biggest surprise on Trouble Man, though, comes in the form a track called "Sorry," produced by Jazze Pha and features lengthy bars from fellow ATLien Andre 3000. T.I. advised that he's been waiting to work with 3000 since 2006's King. "Six years later I get a call and he's ready," T.I. says of Mr. Benjamin where he also argues that Andre, "S**t on me on my own damn record." The album is still a work in progress, but the aforementioned songs along with "How Wonderful Life Is" are definites.
