Wiz Khalifa: "Black & Yellow Is Just The Appetizer"

Wiz Khalifa wants you to know that the hit that is getting remixed from the Green Bay Packers (Green & Yellow) to Jersey Shore star Vinny (Black & Guido), "Black and Yellow" is just a preview of what is to come. In an interview with Billboard, Wiz Khalifa explains his plans for his forthcoming untitled album dropping sometime in March:

"Everything that we drop after 'Black & Yellow' is going to do as well or better," Khalifa told Billboard.com. "'Black & Yellow' was just supposed to be a set-up record. We haven't even gotten into the good stuff. So with 'Black & Yellow' taking off and people getting behind it and supporting it that much, that's just great, great for what's going to happen after that."

The 23-year-old rapper says that he worked with producers like Jim Jonsin and Pharrell Williams on the album, which follows mixtapes "Kush and Orange Juice" and "Deal or No Deal" and will be released on Atlantic's Rostrum Records imprint.

Before the album release, Khalifa plans to "go back in and tighten up some other things, and add maybe a track or two. But for the most part it's done."

So You Really Think You Can Be A World Class Star?

Do you have the dedication and commitment that it takes to be a world class star? Check out this footage of Beyonce rehearsing for her performance of "Ring the Alarm" at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. The cameras followed the star as she reviewed footage of the dress rehearsal, changed some of the choreography at the last minute, and conducted press interviews in a span of 48 hours. This is the life of a star. Beyonce shows the world a glimpse of her life, how you have to be in control of your image, what kind of show that you give to your fans and how you hardly sleep in search of perfection. Are you up to that kind of challenge?

Rolling Stone Gives "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" Five Stars

The anticipation surrounding the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the fifth studio album from Kanye West keeps rising as the release date nears. Rolling Stone recently reviewed the album giving it five stars and calling the album "his most maniacally inspired music yet, coasting on heroic levels of dementia, pimping on top of Mount Olympus. Yeezy goes for the grandeur of stadium rock, the all-devouring sonics of hip-hop, the erotic gloss of disco, and he goes for all of it, all the time. Nobody halfway sane could have made this album."

Rolling Stone contributor Sheffield also writes: 

Last time, Kanye went minimal for the electro melancholia of 808s & Heartbreak. But onFantasy, he gets ridiculously maximal, blowing past all the rules of hip-hop and pop, even though, for the past half-decade, he’s been the one inventing the rules. There are hip-hop epics, R&B ballads, alien electronics, prog-rock samples, surprise guests from Bon Iver to Fergie to Chris Rock, even a freaking Elton John piano solo. It’s his best album, but it’s more than that — it’s also a rock-star manifesto for a downsizing world. At a time when we all get hectored about lowering our expectations, surrendering our attention spans, settling for less, West wants us to demand more.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy  will be released on November 22. Check out iTunes to pre-order the disc and view the complete track listing.

MC Hammer Declares Beef with Jay-Z Over

It seems as if MC Hammer has finally come to his senses and "ended" his beef with Jay-Z  (which in my opinion really wasn't there in the first place). In an exclusive interview with allhiphop.com, he talks about the "beef" and his most recent work concerning the case of Oscar Grant, an unarmed black man who was fatally shot in Oakland, California in the early morning hours of New Year's 2009. He recently spoke with the Grant Family at a community event about injustice and what is being done to stop it.Check out a few excerpts below: 

On why he is finally ending his feude with Jay-Z: 

As a responsible veteran of twenty something years of this [Hip-Hop}. I can't leave it out there with tensions. I am reading comments on both sides, it's not about that, I have seen all of that before. There is an opportunity to say at some point. We onto the next thing. You know, Jay took his shot and I answered. Now let's move on. 

What he feels his legacy in the Hip-Hop industry means to him: 

Of the Jay-Z beef, while it is over, Hammer said that he simply wanted to make sure Hip-Hop was educated on who he is now, not only from the late 80s and 90s.

I already know that this beef was going to go down like this. I know the Hip-Hop audience. Ain't nobody more aware than me. To read the full interview, click here.
