T.I. Talks Life After Prison and Clears Fan Confusions.

KYF — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:32:09 +0000

In an exclusive post-prison interview Monday, rap star T.I talked about what’s behind him, what’s ahead and why prison made him angry.

I must say he looks Great. This grown man look fits him well. I have ::NEVERHEARDOF:: T.I. in a windsor tie and vest. He rocked it!!

The self proclaimed “King of the South” shared how time behind bars influenced him.

For the first time since his seven month stint in prison, T.I. sat down with to talk about the tumultuous last few years.

“[Prison] makes you angry, makes you angry. And it isn’t until you get back to your life you’re able to get away from that anger and back to the lessons and appreciation of finer things in your life,” said T.I., whose name is Clifford Harris.

Harris has been out of prison since December and he’s now on probation for the crime he was convicted of, trying to purchase illegal firearms and silencers in 2007.

“I believe the values I learned form my situation, and the morals I gained from going through my situation. I think prison kind of chipped away at the fabric of those ideas. It’s taken me a while now to get back,” said Harris.

Harris said what made him so angry was that he felt like he’d learned from his mistake before he ever went to prison.

“I could give you as much detail as words could give you, but nothing can successfully describe it as much as it is being deprived of love ones, family, children and so forth,” said Harris.

Harris will have a new album, “King Uncaged” coming out in a few months and he says he recorded 110 new songs since he’s been a free man.

“There’s a [metaphorical] meaning. Physically emotionally, artistically. Not just uncaged from prison, in every way you can possibly think I’m seeing light in a different light,” said Harris.

Harris would not confirm nor deny reports that he’s getting married this weekend to his fiancé Tiny, but he said not to believe everything you read online.

Lebron Should Really Feel Betrayed:: Dan Gilbert’s Letter to the Fans.

KYF — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:02:29 +0000

If you haven’t already heard, Lebron James announced that he is going take a pay cut and team up with Miami Heat for the next 5 years. Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, was not to happy about it and released the most hurtful letter known to man.
Honestly, I think this letter is a unnecessary act of resentment. I have ::NEVERHEARDOF:: a more immature reaction from a so called leader. I understand being upset and even pissed but have a little class and respect the decision that was made. #GOODBYEGILBERT

I am literally blown away….Keep your head up James…You can’t please em’ all.

Read the letter Below

Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight.

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his “decision” unlike anything ever “witnessed” in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don’t deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

“I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE”

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our “motivation” to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that’s simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown “chosen one” sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And “who” we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called “curse” on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former “King” will be taking the “curse” with him down south. And until he does “right” by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day….

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue….

Dan Gilbert

Do you think you will be able to repair some of those relationships overtime?

…well for me, as long as i have a great relation ship with the man above, he gave me a lot of guidence…. I’m happy with that.

Here is the entire post-decision interview:

T.I. is On The Record With Fuse…. He Explains His Fears of Being Attacked.

KYF — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:53:14 +0000

During the wide ranging 20-minute Fuse TV interview, T.I. reflected upon his time in prison, for felony weapons possession conviction, saying, “Anyone who equates keeping it real to doing time or buying guns, I think that they are sadly mistaken on what keeping it real entails.”

His highly anticipated forthcoming album King Uncaged, will be released in Aug. He is also profiled in a feature article and appears on the cover of the July / August XXL.

Nicki Minaj: “I am way too much for a man. I’m like a boy myself”

KYF — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:22:13 +0000

In a recent interview with Vibe magazine Nicki Minaj explains her business and money making strategies. She goes into details about what makes her the ultimate stand out chick. Check it out below::

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

I had a dream that I should go with Wayne and that’s what I did. I’ve never regretted it. Now…I mean I’m just a business savvy person by nature and I weigh out all my decisions. The average person hears $50,000 and jumps. I hear $50,000 and, you know, I need an explanation with it. I need details, and I’ll probably be like that about $50 million. Most artists at my stage in the game don’t have a business manager. I have a business manager. I’m talking about and looking over my finances on a regular basis. I’m not doing this to be flashy I’m doing this to secure wealth. Not cash. They’re two different things. I’ve made calculated decisions and people don’t always understand my process but they always get it later…I’m wrong every now and then but I’m usually right when it comes to things like that.

ON RECORDING WITH MARIAH CAREY

That was insane! I mean let alone I’m a huge fan and she’s a huge icon. No album out! Female. Rapper. Doesn’t happen. That does not happen. I don’t care how far back you look. I dare any hip-hop historian to tell me when that has ever happened. It doesn’t. And I still don’t know why it did.

DISS HER, YOU’LL NEVER GET A REPLY FOR IT

My diss record is my success rate, and how much I can charge to be somewhere for 30 minutes. That’s my diss record. The fact that I can pay your mortgage for a year in 30 minutes. That’s my diss record. That diss record makes everyone go ooooooh word nicki went in! That’s all I need.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE CHICK

I am way too much for a man. I’m like a boy myself, so all my male friends they like me because I’m like them, and they cant say dumb shit they can say to another regular girl, because I don’t believe it. I don’t buy it. I talk that shit myself just like them. I talk money shit just like them, nothing they can say impresses me. Mainly I think I just call their bluff, and I kind of intimidate them. But I love them nevertheless! They do have something going for themselves.

GIRL TALK

If I say I only stop for pedestrian and a real, real bad lesbian—did that say and then I go home and have sex with that lesbian? I just embrace all people of all lifestyles and I don’t tell them they are bad people. And I say girls are beautiful and girls are sexy and they need to be told that, and if they don’t have anyone to tell them that and mean it, I’m gonna tell them that. But I feel like people always wanna define me and I don’t wanna be defined.

Can Someone Please Burst Rihanna’s Bubble????… and Drake Speaks on his Love for her!

KYF — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:45:24 +0000

No really ….Can some one please get a needle and pop this chick before she flys away. During her ‘Last Girl On Earth Tour’ to Vancouver, Canada recently RIhanna desided to take fashion to an a different level. She rocked a new pair of ballon shoulder pads and had all the fans looking ::REALREALCONFUSED:: **SideEye** I’m all for innovation but I am for damn sure tired of seeing big shoulder pads (flashback to Monica at the BET awards)….

In other RIHANNA NEWS…..

This morning on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show Drake was turning all kinds of red when asked about his old boo Rihanna. He said that she was the first person to make him nervous and he “was really feeling what they had going on”. When asked if he could see him getting back with her, he blushed, studdard, laughed, and said that he didn’t see that happening but he still has love for her. He says in his latest album he had to pay homage to her because he still has feelings…

Aww thats soo freakin sweet… now get over it Drake. She and Matt Kemp are doing big things as a couple LOL

#Honestly, I have::NEVERHEARDOF:: Drake and Rihanna dating. It must have been when I lived under that rock… AH well WHaTEVER

Ciara Goes Back to the Basics with “Basic Instint” and Speaks on her Video Being Banned

KYF — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:24:55 +0000

It seems like she just finished an album but Ciara is back at it again. In a recent interview with Enternainment Focus she discussed her plans to return to music like “Goodies” that made so many of us fall in love with her from the beginning. Check out what else she said below.

How are you today?

I’m pretty good. I just woke up because it’s early on my end. I’m definitely feeling good.

Your new single Ride is coming out in the UK. Tell us a bit about it.

Ride is produced by Tricky and The Dream and it has somewhat of a sensual vibe to it. The concept behind the record can go many different ways. For example it can be about how you ride hard for a guy in your relationship so that’s the overall tone of the record. What I love about the track is the production. It’s one of those records that’s like a mid-tempo but you can dance to it. That was important to me – it’s all important to me that you can dance to my records. Sometimes there are records that don’t require the dancing but in this case I want you to be able to dance to it but in a different way. On this record I got to challenge myself; coming up with the creative for the actual video and it’s just a fun record.

You’ve got Ludacris on the track. You’ve worked with him several times now…

I think Luda is so talented and he’s always brings a really great energy to a record. I always love what he brings to a record and especially when it comes to us working together. We joke that we’re more like a group now but I do feel like the work we’ve had together is very special. I feel something unique really comes out of our collaborations together.

You’re new album Basic Instinct is coming later this year. Are you still recording the record or have you finished now?

Well I’ve almost finished. I’m about 95% done. That’s what I’m going to do today – I’m going to finalise the (track)listing for my album too. We’re at the very end. We’ve got some interludes and stuff like that but I’m almost at the very end now.

What can we expect from the album?

With this record I’m taking it back to basics and giving my fans what they love. It’s me taking it back to when I first started. I have to say on this record I put a warning that it’s bass heavy because that’s how I started out; the bass is always important…it’s an important ingredient to my music. There’s definitely a lot of bass but at the same time you’re going to be able to put it on and listen to it from beginning to end. It will definitely keep you out of your seat. Even the slow records tell such great stories and are still so good I feel like my fans are going to be happy. I do believe that when you hear the record you’re really gonna have a good time listening to the music. It’s going to take you to a really fun place.

Is it going to be an evolution from your first three albums or will it offer a mixture of sounds?

It’s definitely going to be a mixture. It’s going to have a bit of the ingredients from my first record. One thing I’ve always said is that I want my albums to have all three; I want it to be a bit of the hip-hop, a little bit of the R&B and pop. I’ve been very blessed and my music has always been able to go into those areas. For example with my first record I toured with 50 Cent, Lil’ Jon and Ludacris…I was the only female there and I was able to hold my own in the middle of all those guys. Later on in my career I had a record with Justin (Timberlake) and it was very different from my world. I was just able to share that side of me there. It’s really important to me that it’s a combination and that it can travel from the hood in Atlanta to the UK – that’s important to me. It’s definitely going to have a little hip-hop, R&B and pop.

Your live shows are very energetic and you are an incredible performer. How much effort does it take to devise and put on those kind of shows?

It definitely takes hard work when you want to make your show be as great as it can be. It’s really fun too y’know? It’s a lot of hard work overall but you feel so good when it comes together. You just feel good to know you’ve accomplished that and you’ve put together a good, energetic show; the fans love it and that’s the best feeling in the world.

Some of your dance moves are just incredible. You must train all the time to be able to be that flexible…

I definitely have my moments like when I’m getting ready for big events like a tour or an awards show or my album packaging. For photoshoots I do train a bit hard and go aggressively when it comes to training but at the same time there’s also balance for me. I don’t train every day of my life. I have to take time off for example I’ve probably not trained in the gym for about a month or two months now. I’ve been very blessed by genetics as well so I don’t have to go to the gym every day. I like to go to build up my wind and to make sure that my heart rate is pumping like it should, and make sure I’m not winded when I perform. There are a lot of things I do get out of training.

When we saw you supporting Britney last year you were singing live and dancing. It must take some stamina to do that…

Absolutely. It takes a lot, it does! You have to really practice and practice and that’s where the training really becomes helpful.

When will you be performing live here in the UK again?

I am hoping by this Fall to be there. That would be so fun and I’ll have just put out my record in the UK. I’d love to come over there and tour and actually just stay there for a bit – that would be so much fun.

Do you think it’ll be a full tour or just a one-off show to celebrate the release of ‘Basic Instinct’?

I want to do something to celebrate the release of the album but I also want a tour so I can stay longer. I want to just come out there and tour. There’s a lot of places in the UK that I haven’t been to.

How do you cope with the constant comparison to other female artists?

It’s something that just becomes numb. At the end of the day I have a vision and I feel that you have to be consistent with that. I do believe that one day people will push that away. To be honest with you there was a lot of comparison early in my career but at least from my perspective I haven’t heard them as much as I used to hear them. However in the event when someone does do a comparison I just feel like you let people say what they feel and then hopefully in time it’ll be something different. By me just sticking to what I believe in and sticking to what my creative vision is I do believe that in time it will become its own thing. That’s the goal and that’s what I’m pushing for. You just become numb to it. It doesn’t even matter to me to be honest. I know my intentions, I know where I come from creatively and I believe in time people won’t do that at all.

We’ve spent a lot of time talking to your fans on Twitter and they keep asking if there’s going to be a video to go with the ‘Ride’ remix. Can you tell us anything about that?

As of now we have the original video but there isn’t a remix being shot. You never know but as of now there isn’t one.

The original video was banned by BET. What do you think they did that?

Unfortunately BET banned the video. It was definitely a surprise to myself because I’m used to releasing my videos and having some comments about things people don’t like but I’ve never had my video banned. It was a surprise to me. It’s one of those things where I’m very proud of the video but it’s just unfortunate as in a perfect world I want my video to play on all networks. It’s a decision I had to respect. My fans are still able to see my video and there’s other ways and outlets for them to see it.

Finally, what’s coming up for you in the rest of 2010?

There’s a few things I’m putting together but I can’t speak about them yet until they’re confirmed. However one of the things I’m honestly looking forward to is touring in the UK that’s gonna be fun for me. I honestly look forward to coming over and seeing my fans in the UK. My new website onlyciara.com is also opening very shortly so look out for that.

I am excited about this album.. the one thing that Ciara has that most artist don’t is the ability to perform well… LOVE HER! THIS CHICK IS NEVER NOT HOT
