“It was an issue for me, a big issue for me at a point in time, with Rawkus because I was producing a lot of [their] records. I wasn’t making no money so we kinda had a little business fall out, but I love Rawkus for what they did for me and my career. I take nothing away from that.”

Lupe Fiasco On Bill O'Reilly (Video)
“I don’t want to be pointed out as supporting Bill O’Reilly in any way because he can be on the garbage sometimes. When you’re comparing certain areas in the U.S. that are predominantly African-American or Latino, it’s very easy to compare it to the Third World,” Lupe said. “Just in the amount of violence that’s there, the corruption that’s there, the gang activity that’s there. It’s prevalent and dominant in Haiti. The corruption of the local politicians, the abject, corporate exploitation that takes place there, loan sharking, all that stuff. I think you can make the comparison to a lot of places in the U.S. Oakland [California], Detroit. Detroit’s got abandoned buildings. On that note, he’s definitely not out of the ballpark. There’s a credible argument there. I agree with that in some aspects.” – MTV

Drake Covers Complex Magazine
Drake covers the latest issue of Complex for February/March. Drizzy also takes a min. to sit down and speak about Kid Cudi, J.Cole, and many of the other rising stars in the hip hop game. Below is a small piece from the editorial...
Read the rest on story at Complex. Catch the photo-shoot video after the click...
Around the time that Kanye directed “Best I Ever Had,” it seemed like there was strife between your camp and Cudi’s camp because Kanye was so enamored of you while Cudi’s project was being worked on.
Drake: I wasn’t aware of that. Even so, I could understand. If Wayne were to be enamored—which is a great word—of another young artist, I would be like, “Damn, I’m here too!” But at the same time, it happens in more than one situation. It happens with ‘Ye, and I have a great relationship with Jay, and Jay’s got Wale and J. Cole, who’s one of my favorite dudes rapping right now. I’ve happened to have had more success. I made the most money, I have number-one records, those guys don’t have that shit. And it’s just facts, it’s not even my feelings or that I feel I’m more talented. That’s what the game is about, making great music that earns profit. When it comes to my relationship with the new dudes, I’m just excited for them. I get to sit back in a cool position and be like, “Yo, I’m excited to see you do it now because I know what it’s like, it’s gonna be so much fun for you…”
You feel like you’re at the finish line?
Drake: I’m at the starting line. Those guys are at home, putting on their tracksuits, getting ready to make their attack. When J. Cole gets it super-right, I think he’s gonna have a place as a Nas-type character who really stands for hip-hop, but still makes ill records that everybody fucks with.
If J. Cole is Nas, then who are you?
Drake: [Laughs.] I’m the young big homie!

Pharrell x Nike Snowboarding x Arbito - Zoom Force 1
Pharrell Williams is often considered a trend setter and a taste maker and on his most recent trip to Cannes, France for the 2010 NRJ Music Awards, he showed up wearing a pair of Nike Snowboarding x Arbito Zoom Force 1 Boots. While most people are wondering why Skateboard P is wearing snowboard boots on the red carpet the only reasonable explanation is that it seems he’s taken a strong liking to the Nike Snowboarding Zoom Force 1 Boot having shown off another colorway he owns on the BBC/Ice Cream blog a few days ago. In addition to the unlikely choice of footwear, Pharrell was decked out in his own Billionaire Boys Club apparel as well as a new Ralph Lauren “Suisse” Down Vest.- via freshnessMore pics after the jump...

A Tribe Called Quest ft. Mos Def- The Love Movement Intro (Unreleased)
Listen/Download: A Tribe Called Quest ft. Mos Def – The Love Movement Intro (Unreleased)Back in ‘98 I was Hip-Hop Music Director at WTJU in Charlottesville, Virginia. The nondescript position made me privy to treats like an advance copy of A Tribe Called Quest’s then last hurrah, The Love Movement. OG promo man Al Lindstrom had been servicing me with music from Jive Records for a minute so after a few pestering phone calls (e-mail? nah.) he sent me the CD advance, making me that ninja amongst my inner circle of Hip-Hop heads.
The proliferation of MP3 blogs has pretty much deaded proper advances for most major label releases. More often than not, the best you get is a watermarked copy with annoying commentary to discourage bootlegging or worse yet, the corny listening session where every ass kiss journo raves about how this is the album of the year.
The point of this inaugural Rare Joints post is that The Love Movement’s advance included the above intro track featuring Mos Def pontificating on the loveliness of ATCQ. The inclusion of the minute and change track probably wouldn’t have made the album’s initially lukewarm reception by fans and critics much better. But to its credit the The Love Movement has aged well in the ATCQ cannon, in no small part due to Jay Dee/J. Dilla’s sonic influence.
