Newcomer Denounces Minaj Comparison
"I don't do the Barbie thing -- that's her thing," LoLa said in an interview. "I really don't agree with it, that's basic. It doesn't make sense to me because first off, you're basically saying I'm jacking somebody who has never been known to have their style all throughout their career. She's never been set to have her own style. It's always been set to say she's jacking Lil' Kim to Foxy [Brown] and now Lil Wayne. So how can I be jacking somebody or using somebody's style if they never been known to have their own style. That part never made sense. That's one. Another thing, it kind of comes from Wayne is in the foundation of my music and what I've listened to him for years and years. So you can hear his styles in my music. And you know, that's her mentor and that's somebody whom she's under and so she's known to sound like Wayne. That's all they say about her now. I believe the similarities may have come from that but besides that, I have my own style, I have my own lane. She does what she does, ya feel me?" There aren't that many female rappers out currently for them to be beefing with one another, which seems to be exactly what Lola is trying to start... |
Portland Board Approves Hip Hop School
Supporters hope the hip hop inspired curriculum will attract disinterested students. There are still a few battles to win before the school comes to fruition. Though Portland School District Superintendent Carol Smith supports the unorthodox school she also feels that the school should revise its budget, provide a more detailed curriculum outline and consider postponing the opening of the school to 2011 in order to integrate the school into the district's high school redesign process. The committee and the superintendents' recommendation go before the full school board on December 14th where the final decision is expected to be made. |
Beyonce's Old Tricks Catch Up
The Chicago Sun-Times says, "All of the issues have been amicably resolved and the case is going to be dismissed," Allen's attorney said. "[Allen is] excited about being able to devote time to posturing his musical career." In other news, Bossip reveals Kelly Rowland wasn't too happy about the lawsuit, saying that, "Rowland blames the legal mess on Beyoncé's father Mathew and his sneaky tactics for lining his daughter's pockets with cash. Apparently, Mathew has a long history of trying to get songwriters to add Beyoncé's name to songs she didn't compose, just so she gets publishing royalties, and now it's coming back to haunt him." This entire situation is a mess, but it's not the first time that someone has brought Beyonce's "songwriting" skills into question, and it might not be the last. |

Is Katt Williams Back In Jail
HHB spoke with an officer at the Coweta County Jail that insured us that there was no Micah S. Williams (Katt's real name) in their system. Sounds like a farfetched rumor. Katt may be crazy but he's good for 40 stacks. |

Drama, Jeezy and Gucci Squash Beef On Air
Under the guise of doing the right thing Jeezy appeared on Dram's show in what seemed like an amicable situation. "On my end its like even through everything, we weren't speaking a lot, there was stuff in there. Then I realized we can agree to disagree," DJ Drama said. "We are letting you know it's bigger than us. We do what we do for yall. We are about to get so much more money, we are about to make so many more outlets for revenue for the city, for everybody to eat." Things got even more bizarre when Gucci Mane called into the show. Drama played the mediator role between the two. There didn't seem to be much animosity in their voices but Jeezy's tone conveyed a lack of interest. However the incarcerated Gucci is down for change. "That's what it is homie," Jeezy said to Gucci, accepting the peace calling. "What's understood ain't gotta be said, man. We gonna do this for the city, so you keep your head up. Me and Dram gonna hold it down, bruh and that's what it is. 100. That's what it is homie -- that's what it is man, it's back to business man. Back to the money, back to the music. Back to the streets. We're back for the city man. Believe that. We got more work to do -- by the way, you snuck me with that phone call homie, for real." This newfound peace is about as valid as a 3 dollar bill. New diss songs coming in 5,4,3,2..... |
Drake Recruits For New Album
"I'm making progress on it," Drake said in an interview with MTV News. "I'm hoping for March now. It's just pulling everybody together: I had a wish list for my managers of everybody I wanted involved that stem beyond hip-hop. I'm trying to pull it all together." So far he has enlisted Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Jay-Z to appear on the album. He is also working to get Sade to grace him with an appearance. "It's this other one I'm excited about that's kinda left [field]," he demurred. "It's gonna be a great project well-rounded." This will most likely be the biggest album of the year if Drake plays his cards right. |
