Kirko Bangz Calls Not Being Featured On ‘I Been On’ Remix “Disrespectful”
Houston young gun feels like he should have been asked to get on Beyonce’s remix for ‘I Been On’, judging from the interview he had with Chicago’s 107.5 recently. While that may be true, it looks like the focus here was of the legends from H-Town, which could explain the omission; nonetheless, I look forward to the replies that come from this.
There were other topics in this conversation, by the way (including Bangz upcoming album Bigger Than Me).

MTV News decided to go straight to the source and get the answers on the most talked-about hip-hop magazine cover of the year.
“The goal we try to make with Freshman is to show that we support new talent [and] to give opportunities to people who will kind of take a long time for them to come around and get that opportunity or be on the cover,” XXL Editor in Chief Vanessa Satten told MTV News on Thursday (March 28).

Project Pat – FADER TV Interview
Taken from FADER:
Project Pat is a hulking mass of a dude, who in person doesn’t look to have aged very much since he broke the scene in the late 90′s with “Ballers.” According to him, the secret of his youthful appearance is a very basic and oft-overlooked essential of tour life called self-restraint. This seems unlikely if not veritably un-possible when your brother and tourmate is king of the turn-up, Juicy J, but Pat has managed to stick around this long and make more great music while he’s done it. Sitting down with us after his recent NYC show, he gave us some insight into the two projects he has coming (one of which is the highly anticipated Mista Don’t Play 2), what he does in the rare instances that he gets back to Memphis and how his ultimate goal is just to please the people.
