Lloyd & Miguel R&Beef Conversation
Although Lloyd kept his cool in response to Miguel’s sub-tweet last week, the hair-do battle continued on this weekend backstage at Z107.9′s Summer Jam in Cleveland. Above, Z107.9 catches their exchange of words.
Miguel replied, “Yo, it shouldn’t have been said, as honest as I may have been. If it was like me and you having a conversation and I said it to you, it would have been different. The fact that I said it on Twitter was fu**ed up and I apologize for that.â€
Lloyd responds:
“But the fact is that I was not trying to imitate you,†he continued. “I just felt like it was disrespectful. On some real shit, it was cheap and I felt like it was distasteful. The idea behind it wasn’t to mock you or imitate you, it was just to shave my [hair] so I could get a tattoo. For you to say that and bring all that kind of energy to me… It’s album release week so why am I answering questions about Miguel when I should be talking about my album that I worked two years for?
Lupe Fiasco Is Done With Twitter
Whatever.
I’m quitting twitter. it was fun while it lasted…thanks for the support on #lasers and i will see you all on the road soon…don’t forget…Love Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile…
Allindstrom.com Presents: Sounds Of Brazil With Larry Gold & Le’roy Benros
(Ed. Note: Normally I’ll give you a nice write up on the video you are about to watch, but I was asked by Le’Roy to let him tell you some things in his own words. Before you read that, let me give you a description of what this video is about. SOBs has made it’s way from a Brazilian club, to a well known venue in hip-hop. Over the past decade it has really solidified it’s name as the place where new artists are being broken. Larry Gold started this club in 1982 and hasn’t looked back since. In this interview with Larry is Le’Roy Benros, the man behind booking all the up and coming talent.
In part 1 of the interview we talk about the history of the club, the history of hip-hop at the venue, and how the club made it’s name for breaking rap artists. With that said, Le’Roy has given us a nice little write up of things he wants you to know. Scroll down and read away:)
SOB’s is a great place for up and coming talent to perform not only because of the historical presence it has in the New York market but because we also take pride in the development of the artist leading up to their show. Coming from an artist manager background, I understand the importance of maximizing opportunities for an artist. If I book a show, Im going to be coordinating with the publicist/manager on a consistent basis to ensure that certain press has been scheduled, the music gets to where it needs to “buzz” is maintained and that NYC/blogs knows where to be at on that given night; Im pretty much serving as an assistant manager to the camp. Its important that awareness is generated through all outlets and that fans know whats going on. Managers have so many other areas to focus on that the added help on this end is one less thing for them to worry about. My goal is to make this the best possible NY and SOB’s experience for the talent and their camp. To submit material or discuss potential shows, hit me at LB@sobs.com.
*Smoking Gun* Miguel and Lloyd Squash Beef
Glad this one ended before it got out of control.
The music scene of Las Vegas
Those who appreciate music will travel great distances to partake in some of the best performances. For instance, Las Vegas has become well known as a music venue and many of the top places to go are found in the casinos of Las Vegas. In fact, some of these venues have become well known for the music they provide. This is the main issue that sets Las Vegas apart from its major competition Macau and even online sites like JackpotCity.org online casino, offering alternative entertainment. It is a good way to both source other revenue and get punters in after the gigs.
The Aria Casino which is popular in its own right for gambling provides Vegas visitors with one of the city’s top music venues. The Haze Nightclub has attracted many acts over the year including well known artists like John Legend and Nelly. While the venue attracts many celebrities to perform, it also features many celebrity spectators and guests here should do some people watching as they never know who they may spot at the Haze.
The Coliseum at Caesar’s Palace provides guests of Las Vegas with some of the best music shows and the facility has ample seating in comparison to some other venues in the city. With 4300 seats, it is easier to obtain tickets here than other places. Over the years, there have been many different music acts and currently performers here include Celine Dion, Rod Stewart and Shania Twain. Not only do music events occur here but other types of entertainment as well, sporting events and comedy shows have also been featured at the Coliseum.
Even larger than the Haze and the Coliseum is the Joint which offers seating for 4500 people. Found within the Hard Rock Casino, this venue provides more concert like performances, with KISS having just announced a residency. When it first opened, the Hard Rock Casino didn’t even have a music venue. It was later on with an expansion project that the facilities size was doubled and included the Joint.
