Vado Reacts To Justin Bieber Freestyle

October 15, 2010 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

On Wednesday, a video of Justin Bieber freestyling over Vado and Cam’Ron’s “Speaking In’ Tungs” hit the net. The NY Daily News reached out to V12 and got his two cents on the rendition.
“I was shocked! He killed it! He sounded like [Notorious] B.I.G. When I seen it on Twitter, I didn’t believe it. We need to keep his verse for the remix! We might finish the remix this weekend, and let Justin go first. I’m definitely going to contact him. I’ll do that ASAP … I might gotta do a remix to one of his tracks.’

The Wall Of DC’s Hottest Emcees

October 13, 2010 JUKEBOXDC Staff News 8 Comments  

First and foremost, let me say I screwed up. In the earlier part of the year I had prepared a ‘Hottest 10 Emcees’ list for the DC area, yet learned that it was a lot more difficult to do. So I’m scrapping the idea (much to the probable dismay of Jamoris) and I’m creating a new one for the year 2010 to be revealed at the end of the year (naturally). If you even give a damn about who little old me thinks is the hottest in the city, know two things: 1) the list would consist of who I believe is the hottest, not who are my favorites, and 2) it will definitely be open for discussion.

In the meantime, you may or may not notice a new piece somewhere on the right side of this page that shows 15 faces. These are who I feel are the hottest 15 as of today for the year 2010. Ongoing research will probably add and remove faces over time. If you feel strongly that something is wrong with that set of faces, please describe in the comments portion of this post (which can always reach by clicking on said faces) how you feel it should be corrected. Once again, at the end of the year, the top ten of those faces will be revealed. Thank you, and you may now continue with your scheduled programming.

Lil Wayne’s Letter #9: “I’m Back!”

October 13, 2010 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

I thought he said no more letter???
More after the Jump.

What’s poppin?!

By now I’m guessing that you all have heard about my recent relocation to the bing, which is punitive segregation. Basically, no T.V., no radio, no snacks/junkfood, and one phone call a week. This punishment has been handed to me for my earlier MP3 incident. I admit, I fu#ked up and now I must deal with the consequences. As I write this, I only have 25 days left, and it’ll be even less than that when you read this. So honestly, I’m fine. Obviously, this gives me a lot of time to myself and a lot of alone time with my thoughts, which can be creatively dangerous. I do miss being able to hear from my family everyday but once a week will have to suffice. To them, I apologize. I’m still able to receive mail so reading and responding is still a huge part of my day. I’d like to thank everyone that sent me B-Day cards and wishes… that was terrific. You all are wonderful, simply wonderful.

Well anyways, I just wanted you all to know that I’m good and I’ll be good! But at the end of the day, I did it all for music!!! By the way, thanx for downloading the I Am Not A Human Being album. And if you haven’t done so already, please do! And if you have, do so again! When I get out I’m going to put the album in stores and shoot more videos for it. Which songs should I shoot videos to? Also, we will be adding bonus songs and packaging the new Nino Brown DVD with the in store album! You’re welcome.

Talent is best nurtured in solitude… Be home soon!
…Dreaming of being in Greece.

Petey Pablo Is An Idiot (Part 3)

October 13, 2010 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

From TMZ:

The U.S. government claims Petey Pablo is a full blown liar — stating in legal docs the rapper KNEW he had a stolen gun in his bag when he tried to board a plane on … of all days … Sept. 11, 2010.

Pablo — real name Moses Barrett III — was indicted by a grand jury last week after security at Raleigh-Durham International Airport discovered a Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol and ammunition in his bag last month. … and now a federal judge has issued a warrant for his arrest.

Read more after the jump.

The grand jury has charged Pablo with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm and attempting to take the gun onto an airplane.

According to the docs, the grand jury claims Pablo knew he was in possession of a “concealed dangerous weapon that was and would have been accessible to him in flight.”

As we previously reported, Pablo claims it was all a mistake — insisting that he had confiscated the gun from a friend long before he packed for the airport … and simply forgot he had hidden it in his travel bag.
 UPDATE: TMZ spoke with Pablo’s rep … who tells us the rapper was not aware of the warrant — but now that he’s been looped in, Pablo plans to surrender to authorities early tomorrow morning.

Shyne Suddenly Changes His Mind About Def Jam

October 13, 2010 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  
Ahhh, just read it yourself. Found on SOHH:
I’m definitely trying to get with Cash Money but the Def Jam thing is a question mark right now. I’ve been fixing to get up out of there for a while now because [Island Def Jam CEO] L.A. Reid don’t care about hip-hop. The people up there, they don’t know what they’re doing. When you don’t have a strong leader, where you gonna go? They don’t care about hip-hop music. You give them a hip-hop record with an R&B singer, you “might” have a chance. They don’t care. You got The Roots, Ghostface, Nas, probably the best hip-hop roster you could imagine and they do nothing. L.A. Reid doesn’t want nothing to do with rappers — it’s nothing personal, I don’t have nothing personal with dude but he makes it known he doesn’t care about hip-hop. So I’m really interested in seeing who’s gonna replace him. Because I know he’s been replaced — so I wanna find out who’s gonna take his spot before I decide what I’m gonna do with Def Jam…The music that we make is responsible for pop, R&B, everything that’s jumping right now.

They gotta care about [what we’ve done] the way Jimmy Iovine cares about that, the way Lyor Cohen cares about that,” Shyne added. “I’m definitely not gonna scrap everything I recorded. I put in so much, I’ve come so far. From the first record I did when I got out to the new records I’ve done while going to all these different countries, I ain’t scrapping nothing. I paid for that. I’m not signed to Def Jam anyway, I just need to find another distributor. I might just have Cash Money do everything. Who knows? That’s the beauty about being in the business for yourself. You can decide where you want to go and what you want to do.”
