I figured since I’ve been getting so many replies (Hate Mail) about me not feelin’ Neyo, I’d show all of you Neyo fans (Exclusive1) that there are no hard feelings. I mean, me and Exclusive1 had a debate (as we often do) back in September and the posts just haven’t stopped! I made a couple of comments about Neyo being an Usher wannabe (nothing’s changed), and boy have I been catching it! I hope this squashes the hate. And no, I’m still not a Neyo fan. Sorry!

Now for those of you who don’t know, God Emcee Talib Kweli , Res ,and Canadian rapper, Noel Graph form the new group Idle Warship. With a variety of different sounds, Talib shows why after all these years in the game, he is still one of the most respected. The album Party Robot is supposed to drop sometime this year(but probably won’t, Year of the push back). The bonus is a retro look at Kweli and his beginnings with the mega group BlackStar, with Mos Def. That one’s for my main Dunn, Exclusive1! Enjoy.

Are you kidding me? So, T-Lame Pain is responsible for the existence of the auto-tune now? Roger Troutman must be rolling over in his grave. Zapp started using the auto-tune first years ago. I’ll be glad when this fad ends.

via XXL
T-Pain is finally cashing in on Auto-Tune. Artists like Lil Wayne and Kanye West asked the Ring Leader for his blessing before using the instrument, but Diddy is taking it one step further.

As previously mentioned, the Bad Boy mogul’s upcoming album will be entirely sung using Auto-Tune. Word is the Puffster will be crediting T-Pain by giving him royalties on the album.

“I gave T-Pain one point on my [upcoming] album for using the Auto-Tune,” Diddy revealed on Sunday night during “Total Finale Live.”

“Sign the papers,” Pain added, confirming Puff’s revelation.

“Diddy actually gave me royalties on this album just for using Auto-Tune. He signed the contract and everything. If I can do that with Diddy, somebody else better be signing something. It’s Diddy. He didn’t have to involve me at all. … I’m writing and producing on his album, and he gave me extra royalties on top of that for using something I just brought back.”

This is probably one of my favorite shows on TV right now. D.A.G is hilarious and real at the same time. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it, make sure you set your DVR’s for Wednesday nights at 10:30pm.

Taken from his new LP Yancey Boys, the younger brother of the late, great J Dilla (R.I.P) drops some definate heat with this album. I love how he sticks to the script, and the legacy of his brother. It’s so refreshing to hear him keep the Dilla sound alive. It’s all about real Hip Hop in Detroit, Sun. I also added my homie Guilty Simpson( don’t sleep on Guilty) and my man Hi-Tek. Big UP to the Ohio All Stars!
