MI, Reveals 12 scoops about illegal music 2 mix tape

3m360 got chatting with the Chocolate City rapper who broke down the mixtape in detail.

So, right from the horse’s, here are 12 things you should know about his upcoming project…

1. It’s better than Illegal Music the first edition. It has more musical growth, it has more interesting samples, and it has better raps because I featured a lot of great rappers, a lot of great singers too.

2. People don’t know that I produce beats but I produced about 90 per cent of the mix tape on my own, and what is interesting is that on this project I switched from Sonar to Logic. (I know this is probably like boring geek stuff to most of you guys)

3. Controversial gist here (Laughs). So I wanted to do a song with Iceberg Slim on this project and I thought it would be cool to do a remix of ‘Deuces’ called ‘Truces‘, however I saw the Jimmy JATT freestyle and I wasn’t too happy about that. So yeah, that killed that idea.

4. On the song ‘Beg for it‘ featuring Matronomy and Funbi, I used two different samples. The shaker on it is from a Robin Thicke song, and the sample on the chorus is a Drake song.

5. I basically recorded the whole of Illegal Music 2 with the worst case of Writer’s Block I have ever been through. It took me months sometimes to finish a verse. For all artistes out there, you gotta learn to pace yourself because you can definitely overwork yourself.

6. At the end of Illegal Music 2, I had to bury my Behringer B2 Mic, which I had used almost throughout the whole of MI2 and the Illegal Music 2. Good bye Mic… I’ll miss you, sort of. Say hello everyone to the new mic on the block; My Rode mic.

7. While recording ‘superhuman‘ with HHP, he spoke of his friend who was seriously ill. A few weeks after returning to South Africa, he tweeted at me to tell me his friend had passed away. May his soul rest in peace.

8. Kid Konnect sent me like 20 beats for illegal music, and at the last moment, we decided to use all that music for a different project called ‘A Kid Called Abaga‘. Watch out for that. And shout out to Kid Konnect.. He is a real brother… Few of those left!

9. My favourite session of the lot was probably working with rap duo Show Dem Camp. We just had fun, chatted and laughed all day till the song was done. In other news, buy their album. It is truly a hip-hop classic.

10. There will be no ‘Choc Boy’ song. Jesse jags and Ice Prince were, and are both so busy, it’s hard for schedules to meet up. So to make up we are thinking of doing a whole Choc Boy album.

11. My fav sixteen (more like 32) bars of the mixtape are by this guy called Bogey. I don’t think anyone this year can have an ‘iller’ intro to a verse. He goes, ‘I love hiphop to death I am Romeo in a body bag‘. Whoa! He also says the line about eating clowns so they digesting (die jesting). Watch out for the guy.

12. I made this as an ode to hip-hop, with a focus to promote upcoming rap talent. It is probably the most selfless I have been musically. I wanted everyone to sound their best on it regardless of how it made me look. I often tell rappers ‘Come harder.. This is illegal music 2’. So as you listen, get to know a lot of the guys..

‘Game of Thrones’ Interviews Reveal Character Motivations & Season 2 Plot

Game of Thrones season two is coming – barely more than a month to go now – so that means the double-edged sword of GOT-related news and media (how does one avoid spoilers and endure the wait?) is in full-force.

Today, we have interviews from one new character, Xaro Xhoan Davos (played by Nonso Anozie), and two previously established characters, Peter “Littlefinger” Baelish (Aiden Gillen) and Sandor “The Hound” Clegane (Rory McCann), about their roles in the highly-anticipated upcoming season.-

On Xaro Xhoan Davos’ season two role, courtesy of Black Film, Anozie said:
“I play Xaro Xhoan Daxos and he’s an interesting character. He’s the prince of Qarth. Qarth is a new land which is further to the east of Dothraki, the host kingdom, where Daenerys was married to Khal Drogo. She’s moving on to see if she can find a way to build an army and move to take over her “rightful seat” in Westeros. She bumps into my character and a lot of new interesting things are going to happen. I can’t say legally say too much about it but it’s going to be eye-opening and exciting.”

On Littlefinger being a survivor and a strategist as opposed to an outright villain, courtesy of The University Observer, Gillen said:

“I’m actually trying to get out of playing villains now – maybe signing up for six seasons as Littlefinger goes against that, but I don’t see him as a villain, more a brilliant strategist and survivor in a cut-throat world. There’s some strong new characters (there always are with George R.R. Martin, and they’ll just keep coming) – Robert’s [Baratheon, former King of Westeros] brother Stannis being a very obvious one to note. We see Littlefinger branch out and go on some travels, too, and it’s nice to get out of the house. I have some dealings with Tyrion – he’s really dominating the scene in King’s Landing now…There’s always a lot going on and there’s no rush to pair everyone up with everyone. Having worked on ‘The Wire,’ I know the merits of playing the long game. It’s more interesting, not patronizing.”


On whether or not The Hound particularly likes King Joffrey, courtesy of Access Hollywood, Rory McCann said:
“Well, I don’t think The Hound likes Joffrey, but he’s doing his job looking after him. The power, as you can imagine, will be going to [Joffrey's] head and the real bully will be coming out, and it will be raising all sorts of memories for The Hound – the way that he was bullied. And you’ll be seeing the relationship between Sansa and Joffrey deteriorate – seeing the bullying that’s going on and again, The Hound will be able to link that to his childhood as well.”


On The Hound’s growing relationship with Sansa Stark, McCann said:

“He’s going to be in conflict, I think. I think he wants to look after Sansa and totally understands her position, but he’s also in a position [of] – if he steps in, he is risking his life… I think in the first season you can see with Sandor and Sansa, that there’s a frustration with Sandor trying to get through to Sansa that it’s not all fairytale and true knights and there’s so much badness in the world. But, by the end of the first season, obviously she’s seen… her father having his head cut off. So she’s maybe seen the light now, but I think there’s still a frustration of trying to [get her to] see the reality of the whole situation. It’s giving advice to Sansa for survival, basically.”

We saw a little bit of this angle in the Game of Thrones season one finale when Sansa very blatantly considered murdering Joffrey by pushing him to his death – and thus ensuring her own death. The Hound stopped her, of course, and there was seemingly a look of empathy on his face.
Game of Thrones season two premieres April 1st, 2012 on HBO @9pm. In the meantime, check out Game of Thrones season one on Blu-Ray and DVD March 6th, 2012.

Lil Wayne Denies Passing Out Drunk Before 2009 Bahama Concert


Lil Wayne claims that he did not pass out drunk before a 2009 Bahama concert, reports 3m360. According to a lawsuit, the rapper passing out was the reason the show was canceled.
Wayne was sued in 2009 by a promotion company called Red City Entertainment, which claimed it gave Weezy $432,000 in advance for the concert.
When the rapper didn't arrive for the show, the promotion company claims police showed up to the Cash Money emcee's hotel room, where he was unconscious.
"At no point [that night] did I become so intoxicated that I passed out on a bed in my suit, or anywhere else," responds Wayne in the legal documents

Tyga's Album's First Week at Retail Disrupted by Uncleared MLK Sample

By dr Lori Tosan
Tyga ** trumpeted Tuesday's release date for his long-awaited Young Money/Universal debut, "Careless World," for weeks. The album's title has come to mean more than the MC probably intended: While the LP did officially drop on that date, an uncleared sample meant that it didn't exactly drop everywhere.

Tyga, fun. & Chiddy Bang Aiming for Top 10 Debuts
Sources told 3m360 that the label had shipped approximately 150,000 copies of the album before last Thursday, when it sent a recall notice to retailers because the sample -- a portion of a Martin Luther King Jr. speech used in the album's title track -- had not been cleared.
"They basically recalled [the albums]," Tyga told DJ Greg Street in a V-103 interview. "I'm looking at my Twitter and fans were hitting me up all day, posting pictures. They have them, and they have some in stores but then they got a piece of paper next to them [saying] 'Recall: Can't sell.' My fans were going crazy, like 'I got it in my hands, I'm thinking about just stealing it but I want to buy it, though.' "
Most retailers abided by the recall but, apparently due to the holiday weekend, not every outlet got the message. Larger outlets like Target and Best Buy did not sell the album but some independent retailers and individual outlets within some chains put out the album for sale on its Tuesday release date, a source said. Several hundred units were sold by those outlets, the source said.

Tyga Talks Young Money Movement, Busta Rhymes Collabo & 'Rack City' Success
A new album master was created in time for the street date and all digital merchants have received the new version, a source told Billboard.biz. Physical copies of the new version of the album began re-shipping today (February 23) and are expected to reach most retail outlets tomorrow through Monday.
The label did not change the album's release date, despite the recall, because of concerns over piracy, a source told 3m360 news

SAMKLEF the blue print

Born Samuel Oguachuba 26 years ago in Lagos, Samklef, as he is widely known in the Nigerian Entertainment scene remains one of the most talented music producers cum singer around at the moment, writes GBENGA BADA
Samklef, a native of Imo State who is signed to Noni Records has been in the industry for a couple of years, working with entertainment and advertisement firms like Sound Factory, Flow Records, Smashers Records, Back 2 Black, Mindfalls and Exp & i360 before deciding to start his own outfit, Noni Records. “I joined the industry several years ago before I eventually opened my own studio where I started recording and producing songs for various music acts.”
While horning his skills in the entertainment industry, Samklef was able to stamp his authority after his production works became most sought after by record companies and popular music acts.
Samklef’s vast experience, which was garnered by working with some of the best hands in every field with influences from international producers cum singers – Timbaland, Kanye West and Don Jazzy – has given him an edge in the music production world. This is evident in his production of popular hits like Durella's “My Life”, Wizkid's “Tease Me” and “Don’t Dull”, Vector’s “Kilode” and D'Prince's “Jonzing World.”
Samklef produced a large portion of Wizkid's widely acclaimed album ‘Superstar,’ thereby significantly contributing to the huge success of the album. He has also worked with names like Sunny Neji, Ruggedman, Durella, Skales, D’Prince (Mo’ Hits), Simisola, J Bryte, Emmsong, O'cube, Jahdiel, Vector, Mudina and a host of others. “I admire and learn from the production works as well as expertise of artistes like Timbaland, Kanye West and D’Banj,” he said.
Life on the streets of Lagos amidst the harsh survival conditions of the typical Nigerian ghetto toughened Samklef and gave him an opportunity to see life from different perspectives. This is evident in his music where he shares his strong beliefs from the lessons he has learnt from the streets.
After establishing himself as one of the most popular music producers in the country, he decided not to rest on his oars and unveiled yet another side of himself – the singer. Samklef released his debut album titled “Noni” in 2010 and recently re-packaged and re-introduced it with an international edition entitled “Nonilizing”, released in January 2011.
Some of the popular songs in the album are “Labalaba” and “Molowo Noni” featuring Wizkid, D’Prince and Iceprince. In recognition of his contribution to the Nigeria entertainment industry, he's been nominated for several awards that include the Nigerian Entertainment Award in New York; City People Awards; Channel O Awards; Hip Hop World Awards and the Nigerian Music Video Awards.
He has won many awards, one of which is the award for Producer of The Year 2011, both at the City People Awards and Nigerian Entertainment Awards. Last year, the producer decided to begin another phase in his life as he tied the nuptial knot with his long time heartthrob, Yvonne in an elaborate celebration.
“Married life is definitely different from living single but it’s a whole new experience as a married man and we thank God for everything. I’m married to my best friend, sister and mother. That and many more are some of the qualities I found worthy in my wife,” Samklef said of his wife

Cossy Orjiakor "my body feat Ego"

As much as Cossy Orjiakor, the sexy humongous mammary-flaunting damsel of Nollywood, is not a figure most housewives would love to have around their husbands even though the husbands would get beside themselves just to have a peek of those brachial wonders, she is a hot item any day.
The actress who seems to have found better calling in music than acting has not been in circulation for some time now. Where she has gotten to remains a mystery.
*Cossy
She has not been responding to mails and her number does not answer as well. Each time her number is dialed the irritating tone of “ not available” greets back.
Cossy, who has not really been ruffling any feather in the movie industry is sure holding her ground in the music industry.
Her latest single “My Body” in which she featured Ego is doing well in the market and many critics of her have actually commended her for job well done.

Davido on sex rampage in Ghana

Nigeria’s newest pop sensation Davido might have bitten off more than he can chew when he hooked up with an undergraduate on a trip to Ghana yesterday.
Barely 24 hours after arrived in Ghana, there’s been a leak; with very private pictures of him in bed with an undergraduate emerging on Blackberry Messenger and Twitter.
It’s gone viral already, just like it was with the Wande Coal nude photo leak.  Just this morning, 19 year old Davido trended worldwide on Twitter; with thousands commenting on the pictures showing him in bed with a lady believed to be 18-year-old undergraduate Sonia Jumbo. Different images show the lady fondling and kissing him while he was asleep. In one, she’s seen licking his tattoo.
Sources say Sonia, a Port-Harcourt based Nigerian currently studying in Ghana, had used the images as display pictures on her Blackberry Messenger, leading to some of her contacts copying them and sharing them on social networking sites, causing a major frenzy.
Davido had travelled to Ghana along with his manager Asa Asika and crew member Sinarambo to perform at the Miss ISA 2012 beauty pageant, put together by the International Students Association of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
We’re not immediately able to reach Davido or his manager. Phones were switched off and messages had not been replied as at 11:30am.

MOVIE TRAILER: THE EXPENDABLES 2

The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal… Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Lee Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) — with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard — are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time — six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that’s nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way….

New Book Of Ray-J Might Be Called “R.I.P Kim Kardashian’s Career”

After a sex tape with D-list celebrity Ray J leaked in 2007, Kim Kardashain clawed her way up the fame ladder so fast that by the time she was famous, it was too late for any of us to stop her or ask how it happened. One second she was a nobody with a barely famous father, the next second her family was in our faces 24/7. It seems almost impossible to remember a time when we didn’t know their names or their scandals or the look of Bruce Jenner’s tightly botxoed skin.
But it looks like Kim Kardashian’s career might be coming to an end. While I hoped for a quick halt that would cause to just cease to exist in the media, it’s likely going to be a slow-moving disaster where more and more people come forward and accuse Kim of manipulating PR to her advantage. While they’re most certainly not doing this out of the good of their hearts, it’s definitely interesting to start seeing the other side of Kim. Not the woman dreamed up in an E! brainstorming session, but the woman who did what she had to do to get famous.Ray J, her co-star in “Kim and Ray J Have Sex,” reveals in a new tell-all book that Kim cheated on her first husband Damon Thomas with Ray J.

In his new book, “Death of a Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray,” Ray J refers to a former flame who he dated for two years as “KK.” In addition to the initials matching those of Kardashian’s, the time frame given for the tryst matches the length of their relationship. Ray J, 31, claims “KK” pursued him and slept with him while she was still married to her first husband, music producer Damon Thomas. Kardashian has previously denied cheating on Damon, who she divorced after four years in 2004.

Cheating allegations certainly don’t put Kim in the best light. Especially considering her other ex-husband, Kris Humphries, supposedly also has juicy details about Kim to share. Details that she appears desperate to hide. Before her wedding she was some kind of American sweetheart. Maybe not the woman you wanted to be, but the woman you wanted to be friends with. She came out of nowhere and became famous for being famous. She made millions of dollars on endorsements, appearances and magazine covers. Weren’t we all a little jealous of the fact that she made a career of being herself?
But her now infamous 72 wedding last fall changed all that. Suddenly, everyone saw through her little act and started to think that her life choice were much more calculated than they realized. Who makes millions of dollars on a wedding and then gets divorced after 72 days? Someone with a motive.
Suddenly her legions of fans didn’t seem so loyal. People criticized her more openly and turned Kris Humphries into the victim. While I’ve never been inside a Kardashian PR meeting, I doubt this was the plan.
and now, with Ray J’s cheating accusations, it looks like this might be the beginning of the end. Kim Kardashian’s just another trashy reality star who’s 15 minutes in the spotlight are up.
