With the new production skills that Soulja Boy possesses, and the creativeness that Kanye West attains, the pair will make good music together.

“I’m working on Kanye’s next album right now,” Soulja Boy states in an interview.

“We’re working together on production because he makes beats and I make beats. Right now I’m remixing a couple of records for him, I’m actually working on Kanye’s album while he’s working on my album.”

The Crank That rapper continues by saying, “I know a million producers that are no-names, but they got hot beats. I will be going back in the lab to produce beats on this album, I really haven’t produced since my second album, but I’m looking forward to doing a 50/50 split beat with Kanye West. I think that’ll be hot because he’s a great lyricist, but an awesome producer as well. I feel like I’m an awesome producer too, and both of us in the studio together at the same time can come out with a smash.”

Kanye has been working on Soulja Boy’s forthcoming LP, The DeAndre Way, while Soulja Boy has created three tracks for West’s album.

“Right now I’m in the studio making The DeAndre Way,” Soulja Boy explained in an interview earlier this year.

“And mark my words, this album will be a classic. A lot of people been sleeping on Soulja Boy for a long time, when I first came out with Crank That it was so big, gimmicky and catchy it went five times platinum and a lot of people were stuck on it for a long time. They said I was garbage, they said I was a one-hit wonder. Now I came out with Kiss Me Through The Phone, my second #1 single and I released Turn My Swag On, my third #1 single and now I’m going into my third album. I got everybody’s ears open right now…Mark my words, this album will go platinum…I’m reaching out to hip-hop’s greatest…I wanna reach out to that top status. Your Jay-Zs, your Kanyes and your Lil Waynes.”

Soulja Boy said he also hopes to get appearances from Eminem and Hov to murder him on his own album. The DeAndre Way is expected to hit stores in July.

As previously reported yesterday, Bronx bred rapper DMX was arrested without bond in Arizona after violating his parole by using drugs.

According to police, X, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested after he was found to be in possession of cocaine by the Adult Probate Department yesterday (March 10).

In a court appearance yesterday, DMX accused police in Phoenix targeting him for arrest, harassing him and abusing his civil rights.

DMX faces 5 unspecified counts of parole violation. Joe Arpaio, Phoenix’s self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff in America,” is calling for DMX to serve serious prison time.

“We’ve been treating him with kid gloves. I think it’s about time to give him hard time,” Sheriff Arpaio said.

This arrest marks the fifth time that the rapper/actor has been arrested; the most recent incident ended with DMX serving a 90-day sentence for felony convictions including cruelty to animals, theft and two drug counts and was released from jail in May of 2009.

DMX is currently being held without bond until March 16th, when he will appear in front of a judge for a hearing.
SMH. It’s sad and we really hope that DMX can eventually kick the habit or else the next show he will end up on will be “Intervention.”

This is the first year in over 10 years that DMX has not been arrested.

And it’s all documented in his wife, Tashera Simmons’s, upcoming book, Strength of a Woman. Simmons’s reps told media sources that the book will be a peek into DMX’s family life during the past decade.

But make no mistake; it is not a pretty portrait.

Since the couple’s marriage in 1999, DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, has been arrested for a stabbing incident and an assault charge, which were both cleared/dropped.

Although he was lucky with those two cases, a few cocaine and marijuana possession infractions have landed DMX in the court dates and fines. The 39-year-old rapper has also been caught on the Michael Vick tip, pleading guilty to animal cruelty.

But refusal to put on a seatbelt at London’s Heathrow Airport? Tashera’s will need to be strong enough for the both of them if the next ten years is anything like the last.

Despite the legal trouble, DMX has reached Billboard Top 200 Charts for five consecutive albums. He is the first rapper to do so.

Let’s see if Tashera shares that with her audience.

It’s amazing but EXPECTED how verbal the media and Republicans have been since President Barack Obama took office. Former CBS News anchorman Dan Rathers voiced his opinion about President Obama and lets just say he couldn’t have used a more RACIST analogy to get his point across.

This is a free country and you can say what you want BUT some people still need to watch they fucking mouth!!!

It’s funny how when coked up George Bush was pushing bills for the almighty dollar to go in his pocket these dickheads didn’t have anything to say then, but now it seems like they just have diarrhea of the mouth.

Just when we thought Jamie Foxx was swirling with Olivia Munn, he proved us wrong by using Stacey Dash as his arm candy during Oscar Weekend.

Stacey and Jamie recently chopped it up on his radio show where she announced her divorce, and the two have been ‘real close’ ever since. After seeing them together we had to wonder if Jamie is soaking up Stacey’s panties and bangin out those “close to perfect” backs.

Jay-Z has finally made it to the White House. Joining him on Wednesday, March 3, were Beyonce, her mother, Tina Knowles, and Trey Songz.

According to hiphopdx.com, Jay briefly met with Obama while at a stop at the Verizon Center on his Blueprint 3 Tour.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, publicly expressed to the media that he has had several invitations to the White House and has been too busy to accept. “Hopefully we’ll keep him in for eight years so I’ll have time to get there,” he said last month to BBC.

Now that Jay has gotten there, we’ll see if he is invited back.

According to allhiphop.com, Obama endorsed Jay-Z’s latest album, Blueprint 3, (where Obama was shouted out on 3 different cuts) and has been a hip-hop fan for years. His hope for hip-hop is for emcees to avoid lyrics that degrade women and limit the constant talk of money and cars.

“I’ve met with Jay-Z, I’ve met with Kanye [West]. And I’ve talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking [is great],” Obama said while on a BET special.

The president continued to say that he feels some rappers use the n-word excessively.

What Obama and Jay-Z do agree on is the effect hip-hop can have on the nation. They both believe that rappers can use their lyrics to uplift the masses and bring about change. However, Jay feels that the job of a rapper is to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

“Sometimes there are hard truths in rap; they’re not packaged with pretty ribbons. Sometimes the realities of the situations are harsh and they need to be told,” Jay-Z said to BBC. “We’re the poets of our generation!”

Trina’s personal cell phone was not as valuable as the photos inside. On Monday, the 31-year-old, Miami bred rapper, told the media that the photos of her floating through the internet were from her cell phone, stolen at the BET Hip-Hop Awards ceremony.

Trina, whose government is Katrina Laverne Taylor, is more than upset about the breach of her privacy. According to news.gather.com, some of the photos leaked include Trina crying, an image of a skin rash, and a couple of shots of her ex-boyfriend Kenyon Martin.

Let’s not forget the nude photos that are now, nearly impossible to find on the net. This might be due to Trina’s contact with the FBI, an attempt to catch the unknown suspect who boosted her phone.

Trina told MTV that some of the photos were not taken from her phone but uploaded by the suspect to make the photo collection more enticing.

Emotional, Trina told the media that the photos were her “personal stuff,” and it was unacceptable for the suspect to make them public. She described the skin rash incident, saying that she only took the photo to show her dermatologist what she looked like after she had been at a particular recording studio for a few days, possibly exposed to something that triggered her allergies.

While fans wait for Jim Jones to drop an album, the 34-year-old rapper has gotten his battery charges dropped.

The news was made public Friday when prosecutors said they did not have enough evidence against Jones to convict him of assaulting a local teenager in Panama City last year.

According to wjhg.com, Jim Jones and his crew were in the Boardwalk Beach Resort parking lot during a Spring Break concert on March 12. Jones’s clique was caught on camera, roughing up Damion Johns, before Jones is shown breaking up the ruckus.

Initially, Panama City Police handled the reports then handed their info over to the State Attorneys Office.

In April, Jones pleaded not guilty to the charges and less than a year later, the rest of the world can believe him.

Former Cash Money Hot Boy Juvenile and his producer Leroy Edwards were arrested Thursday (February 25), for possession of marijuana.

According to reports, police responded to a call from a neighbor who reported that they smelled marijuana smoke coming from the rappers home.

When police arrived at the house, according to reports, they were not only greeted by Juve’s producer who had a small amount of marijuana “on his person,” but a published report police states that “the presence of marijuana was strong” enough that it gave “probable cause” to search the rapper’s home.

Upon their search, police discovered a small amount of marijuana in a kitchen drawer, which Juvenile stated belonged to him.

Authorities said Juvenile and Edwards were booked with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and both have posted bond.
With all of the issues surrounding rappers and drugs, it seems as if Dr. Drew is going to have to start a new season of celebrity rehab, aptly titled Hip-Hop Edition…SMH.
