Mannie Fresh On Big Tymers Exclusion

“It’s kinda like doing a Jackson 5 album with Boyz II Men. Two different eras, great artists, but Boyz II Men is not the Jackson 5. I don’t bash Cash Money, Birdman, or none of them. It’s really on, I’m just striving on just getting what I deserve, you know, what I put in. Honestly I think Drake is a great artist, I think Wayne is a great artist, but they not the Big Tymers.”

I’m too old to be making dis songs. I’m too wise to be making shots at anybody, but my thing is I’m a business man at the end of it. You can call it whatever you want to call it, but you can’t call it a Big Tymers album.”

Busta Rhymes Reportedly Has Meltdown In South Beach Burger Joint

Apparently in need of a late night burger fix, it’s been alleged that the animated Busta Rhymes had a meltdown over having to wait in line at a South Beach fast food joint. Employees at Miami‘s Cheeseburger Baby say that the “dungeon dragon” verbally assaulted them with insults and homophobic slurs after being delivered his food. Guess Busta was a little hungry? The Miami New Times reports that the shop’s owner, Stephanie Vitori, refused to let Rhymes cut in line in front of other waiting patrons. Vitori and her staff’s refusal to show favor caused the rapper to launch his tirade at 5:45 a.m. “He got very upset when we wouldn’t take his order first when he was the last one to come in. We treat everyone as equals here at CBB. You can’t skip the line of ten people waiting in front of you,” Vitori said to the Times.

Rhymes reportedly returned to his car to wait on his order, but then Vitori claims he came back into the restaurant and began to sling harsh words. Vitori says Rhymes called a delivery person “f-g” and referred to her as “b-tch” while also complaining about his order.  Vitori was forced to call police to the burger spot after which the Cash Money Records artist left the premises. Busa Busss wasn’t satisfied with his rant, says Vitori. He reportedly called Cheeseburger Baby to complain that there wasn’t any cheese on his burger and that he would be returning to the restaurant to “come get” the employees. Vitori also stated she’s never had run-ins with famous folks at her business, which has been frequented by stars such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé.

Birdman Gets New “RICH GANG” & “GTV” Face Tattoos [PHOTOS]

Kids, a face tattoo is not for everyone. Take Cash Money founder and CEO Bryan “Birdman” Williams who has an assortment of ink, including two brand new ones, on his mug, for example. He is rich and can pretty much do as he pleases. You, are not. Birdman took to Instagram and revealed that “GTV” and “TRUKFIT” tattoos have been added to his already sizeable face tattoo collection. The GTV, which stands for his Grand Touring Vodka brands, sits above his left eye, while the TRUKFIT logo is on the lower portion of his left cheek.

A few weeks ago, the “What Happened To That Boy?” rapper got a new “Rich Gang” logo tattoo on the right side of his face, which coincides with his forthcoming compilation project titled, Rich Gang. While Lil Wayne was in the hospital, Birdman was adamant that it was working too hard, not a drug overdose, that landed his son in the ICU. Check out Birdman’s new ink, and some of his past work include those infamous 5 star tats on his noggin, in the gallery. Do you have (explain yourself) or would you get a face tattoo? Let us know in the comments.

Cash Money Being Sued For $600K Over A Sample In A Bow Wow Song

Surprise, surprise; Cash Money Records is being sued. The record label is named in a $600,000 lawsuit over a Bow Wow song that illegally samples a song from 70′s group the Persuaders, allegedly.

TMZ reports:

The septuagenarian behind the lawsuit is Robert Poindexter from the 70s band The PersuadersPoindexter claims Cash Money sampled his band’s song “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” and illegally lifted the tune in Bow Wow’s 2010 track “Still Ballin.” As for “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” — the song was recorded in 1972 and reached the top of the charts … and Poindexter says neither Cash Money nor Bow Wow ever obtained permission to sample it. 

Reportedly Poindexter reached out to Bow Wow’s people first, only to be sent to Cash Money. However, Cash Money only referred him back to Bow Wow, so now he’s basically suing everybody. Poindexter has already sued Kanye West and 50 Cent for similar circumstances. That said, be weary if you’re a producer and trying to use a Persuaders sample. Also, pay up.

Ace Hood Confirms Departure From Def Jam

Ace Hood Confirms Departure From Def Jam

Ace Hood has confirmed his departure from Def Jam and is currently with DJ Khaled‘s We The Best Music via Cash Money Records.

During an interview with Power 105′s The Breakfast Club, the Southern rapper said that he signed a three-album deal with Def Jam at the onset of his career. After fulfilling his contract with Gutta, Ruthless and Blood, Sweat & Tears, Ace explained that he wanted to take his label situation elsewhere and that he has nothing but love for his former imprint. “The situation was over with Def Jam. What I have with them? I had three albums with them. My situation with them was up,” he said. “We chose to take the label situation to another place, to another home. It’s no knock to Def Jam, shout out to Def Jam. I will always be forever grateful to Def Jam for supporting my career and being there. I’m definitely a lot more happy with the situation I got now, in all honesty, because I’m able to do me. There’s no pressure. Nobody’s calling me, forcing an album on me or forcing this on me. It’s what’s your vision? What do you want to do? We’re willing to do what you want to do.” Ace, who recently released his single “Bugatti” featuring Rick Ross and Future, debuted in 2008 with Gutta, which entered the charts at No. 36 with 25,000 copies sold. The following year, he dropped Ruthless, which bowed at No. 23, and in 2011, he released Blood, Sweat & Tears that topped at No. 8 with 26,000 copies sold. He is currently gearing up for his fourth album Trials & Tribulations, releasing this summer.

Master P Clarifies Alleged Kanye West & Lil Wayne Diss Track “Brick To A Million”

Master P Clarifies Alleged Kanye West & Lil Wayne Diss Track "Brick To A Million"

On his new track “Brick to a Million” with Fat Trel and Alley Boy, Master P spits a few bars that many interpreted as a diss to Kanye West and Lil Wayne. On the song, he raps, ”New niggas wearing dresses, fuck it / I ain’t scared to address it / Gangsta niggas on skateboards / I’m at the house breaking motherfucking headboards / Real niggas stand up.” During an interview with Power 106′s Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the No Limit honcho cleared up misconceptions about the lyrics, stating that he was not addressing those rappers in particular but was instead talking about a radio station employee who told him he was finished. “Even that, that ain’t a diss. I never made a diss record. Like I said, a lot of people, if you feel salty behind that, then I could say if the shoe fit well, I’m not afraid to address it,” he said. “I just feel like in Hip Hop, we’ve got to stick to whether we’re going to be real or we not. Like I said, I’m just addressing what I see. To be honest with you, that particular song wasn’t about nobody in Hip Hop but I think people taking it like that. This was one of these guys that worked at the radio station and didn’t believe in me and told me it was over for me. He ridin’ up on a skateboard and got a little mini-skirt on. This a new dude into the business, and he telling me it’s over for me.”

P, who was rumored to have issues with Cash Money Records back in the day, said that if the rappers took offense to the song, they might want to rethink their choices. But he insists that he has no beef with either of them. “If you feel guilty about something, then that’s something you need to address about with yourself,” he said. “Y’all gotta realize, we really from the streets. If there really was a feud, there would have been a problem. But I got love for Baby and them, Lil Wayne. They come from where I come from. It’s always been a competition. Everybody want to be the best.”
