Gucci Mane Fires Manager And Launches His Own Label

by EJah on May.04, 2010, under Artists, Hip Hop Politics, News

Gucci Mane is doing a lot from Jail these days.  He recorded an album (well at least one song from jail) and n0w he fires Gucci Manehis manager Debora Antey and left Mizay Entertainment.  He also cut loose his promoter Johnnie Campbell and Hitt Afta Hitt Enterprises.  He is also leaving So Icey Entertainment label and launching his own label, 1017 Brick Squad Records Inc.  He told AllHipHop.com, “The rest of 2010 is going to be real major. I’m taking control of all of my business properties and keeping the focus on my career, my music and my artists. All the pieces to the puzzle are finally in place and once I get home it’s Gucci time.”  He is now being managed by First Avenue Management, with David Bolno, Managing Director at Nigro, Karlin, Segal & Feldstein as the manager of his business affairs. CAA will now handle his show bookings.  Seems like Gucci is cleaning up his act all together as I have the same confidence he’ll clean up his act as he is released from jail.  Well this is the second time in a month that Debora Antey has been fired, she was also fired by Nicki Minaj for not getting her paperwork in order to go on tour with Rihanna.

Gucci Mane – Burrprint (2) HD April 13th, 2010

by EJah on Apr.15, 2010, under Music, Review

The Burrprint (2) HDGucci Mane is currently on lock in Fulton County Jail in Georgia in the state of his residence.  I’m not going into his legal troubles since this is an album review.  He’s been locked up since November 12th, 2009 for a sentence of 12 months.  Now this album Mixtape Burrprint (2) HD is a follow up to the 2009 mixtape he made that was mad successful.  Burrprint (2) HD is sick no doubt, almost every song on here is banging.  The production on most of the tracks are straight gangsta style beats.  Gucci Mane’s voice and rhyme flow is on point on every track on this album.  The intro Live From Fulton County Jail is so raw, it’s him on the phone rapping from jail over a gangsta beat, has the one minute warning and everything.   Goodness, I can’t say enough about this album, it may just be a classic.  Guests on the album include Ludacris, Young Gotti, Rick Ross, Schife, Rocko, OJ Da Juiceman, Wacka Flocka, Shawty Lo, Yo Gotti, Nicki Minaj, Mylah, Trey Songs, Jim Jones, Wacka Flocka and Wooh Da Kidd.  Wow, that’s a lot of guests, but again it is a mixtape.  Stand out tracks are Intro (Live From Fulton County Jail HD), Antisocial (Ft. Mylah), Atlanta Zoo (Ft. Ludacris) and Coca Coca (Ft. Rocko, OJ Da Juiceman, Wacka Flocka, Shawty Lo, Yo Gotti, Nicki Minaj).  I swear Nicki Manaj almost messed up the track with her wack rhymes and her trying too hard flow, but lucky the song is almost 9 mins long and she came at the end.  Mylah’s voice on Antisocial is angelic, she murdered the hook on the track.  J Holiday also does a great job hosting the album.  Let’s give this album a 88% out of 100%.  I couldn’t give it classic status because he didn’t change it up with the beat style but the rhyme style is on point.  Great album Gucci, can’t wait until you get out you’ll really make some banging tracks!
Preview some of the tracks from the album

Khia Goes In On Nicki Minaj

by EJah on Apr.10, 2010, under Hip Hop, News

KhiaThis is from Vibe.com people, Khia (I didn’t know she was fine like that) goes off on Nicki Minaj on her Vibe.com and on her quite famous blog.  Check it…..

VIBE.COM: Many folks don’t think it’s a coincidence that photos from your new video came out a few weeks after you were taking shots at Nicki Minaj. She recently did a UStream video talking about how haters use her for publicity, what do you say?

KHIA: Publicity stunt? Honey, what do I need publicity for? I’m a talker, I’m a blogger, I’m controversial, I’m a creative writer, I’m a damn s**tstarter, but this isn’t for publicity at all, this is the industry. And I’m glad she didn’t mention my name on that UStream. That would’ve been bad. Everybody knows that I’m against the Barbie thing. I’ve always been real. My hair is as nappy as an African after a rainstorm. We’re all beautiful just the way we are. I’m against the butt shots. I’m not into the wigs. I’m not into the Barbies. No.

I’d rather listen to my husband Weezy, than hear [Nicki] talking about what sounds good to Lil Wayne. She’s in the studio with men writing her shit, saying it’s hot, but only because it’s what they want to jack off to. She doesn’t make music for girls. It’s a difference when I say ‘My neck, my back, my p***y, my crack,’ because it’s my own. You should be making men bow down. I respect myself. Love yourself, hoe.

But if [Nicki] was talking about me, that was so cute. Right now, I’m in the lead. You can be a feature whore and when it’s your time to drop, you’ll have nothing to drop. Your single is horrible, your voice is annoying and they’ve heard it too much. Sit down, contemplate your album and give us something wonderful. What makes [Nicki] think that Rihanna is going to let her headline her tour with all of these features? Are they going to be on stage with you Nicki, honey? I need to do a seminar to help this girl. I’ll acknowledge she has a hot song, when I write it [laughs]. Sean Garrett wrote [“Massive Attack”]? I think she needs to call me.
