New Music - Saigon - Believe It

2008-05-22T15:21:00.000-07:00

It's official, Saigon and Just Blaze are no longer tied to Atlantic Records. They departed from Atlantic with 100 percent ownership of their Masters. Very rare in today's game, where labels run the industry like a dictatorship. Just Blaze has been trying to put Saigon on, so they are connected in this manner. For those of you who don't know, Saigon initially linked up with Mark Ronson and gained valueable connections within the music industry. Saigon was represented by him for some time but eventually left ,on a good note, to pursue other avenues. Saigon made a name for himself on the HBO series, Entourage, where he played the role of himself for a few episodes. This was one of the biggest stepping stones to date for Saigon's career. Here is a new track titled, Believe It, check it out! Stay tuned to Hip Hop On Demand for the latest new music!

DJ Khaled feat. Akon, Rick Ross, Plies, Lil Boosie, Trick Daddy, Ace Hood, Lil Wayne - Out Here Grindin

2008-05-08T15:59:00.000-07:00

DJ Khaled has put together another Dirty South anthem with an All Star cast. This new track, "Out Here Grindin", features Akon, Rick Ross, Plies, Lil Boosie, Trick Daddy, Ace Hood, and Lil Wayne. I also included a video of DJ Khaled performing the track for Kayne West. The first media player has the best quality if you just want to hear the track though. Check out this hot new music!

Lil Wayne - California Love

2008-05-06T15:38:00.000-07:00

Lil Wayne has some new music dedicated to the women of California which features Tyga. It's not confirmed whether or not it will appear on The Carter III but it's definitely a hot track! Weezy could improve the track by replacing Tyga's verse though.

Nelly - Bay

2008-05-06T15:30:00.000-07:00

This new track is a banger! Nelly pays a little homage to the Bay Area rappers Spice 1, Too Short, and E-40. Check out this new music now!

Usher feat. Beyonce, Lil Wayne - Love in This Club remix

2008-04-30T11:07:00.000-07:00

Usher has a new remix for his hit singles, "Love in This Club", which includes an all star group. Beyonce and Lil Wayne both appear on the track and are great compliments. This version is most likely to appear on his new album, Here I Stand. Usher has a history of flipping up remixes or part 2's which have a totally different feel, this track is no different. I posted the remix with T.I. on Hip Hop On Demand Blogspot a few days ago so scroll down if you want to hear that version. This is definitely the best of the two in my opinion though.

Plies feat. Ne-Yo - Bust it Baby Part 2

2008-04-30T09:19:00.000-07:00

Here is some new music from Plies featuring Ne-Yo, this track titled "Bust it Baby Part 2". The video is a single from Plies new upcoming album, "Definition of Real", which should be released in June.

New Music - T.I. - No Matter What

2008-04-29T22:33:00.000-07:00

Check out this new music from T.I. which will be on his new album, Paper Trail. As of now, the record is scheduled to be released during the month of September. The album title refers to the fact that T.I. will apparently be writing this record on paper, which he hasn't done for some time now. This track, No Matter What, is produced by Virginia Beach native Danja. If you haven't heard of him, you've surely heard his work, as he is the Grammy nominated protege of Timbaland. Like always with Timbaland, he uses fresh upcoming producers to help him make hit singles and he takes all of the credit. Danja co-produced Promiscuous, Say it Right, SexyBack, My Love, and The Way I Are.

Lil Wayne - Outstanding - Produced by Dr. Dre

2008-04-28T12:14:00.000-07:00

This music isn't new by any means by but I wanted to post it anyways. This track titled "Outstanding" is produced by Dr. Dre and is more than likely to appear on Lil Wayne's new album, The Carter III. I haven't came across a version that has a chorus so maybe this was all that got leaked. Check it out now!

David Banner feat. Chris Brown, Young Joc, Jim Jones - Get Like Me

2008-04-26T11:21:00.000-07:00

This new music from David Banner is the second single off of his upcoming album, Greatest Story Ever Told. The first single was "9mm" which included the likes of Lil Wayne, Akon, and Snoop Dogg. The album is set to be released on October 9th but we all know how dates change. This track, Get Like Me, features Chris Brown, Young Joc, and Jim Jones. I'm really excited about this new David Banner project, and on that note I'm turning on "Like a Pimp" right now.

Usher feat. T.I. & Young Jeezy - Love in This Club Remix

2008-04-25T09:36:00.000-07:00

This is a remix of Usher's newest hit record, Love in this Club. The new track includes a guest appearance from other Atlanta natives, rapper T.I. and Young Jeezy. The new Usher album, Here I Am, is expected to be released in June. As the LP's first single, Love in This Club, makes the third largest jump to #1 in the 50-year history of Billboard's Hot 100, the record is bound to be a success.

Young Buck - My Interview

2008-04-24T10:14:00.000-07:00

In a recent interview, 50 Cent accused Young Buck of being on syrup and sniffing cocaine. This was said to be part of the reasoning behind kicking Young Buck out of the group, as these habits caused him to be emotional unstable. Buck addresses all of these statements in this song titled My Interview. I haven't been a fan of Buck here recently as 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo seemed to lead him in the wrong direction. The South is on top of shit partly because they stick together, work with each other, and artist who get on pull others up with them. G Unit on the other hand, are the governing body of the Haters Foundation. Aside from 50 Cent, G Unit is garbage without Young Buck. Check out the track below!!!

Music Video - The Roots feat. Wale, Chrisette Michelle

2008-04-23T11:33:00.000-07:00

Here is some fresh new music from The Roots featuring Chrisette Michelle and Wale. Wale seems like a nice fit on this track! If you haven't heard of him, he is an upcoming artist from the D.C. area. You can check out his Myspace page here! As usual when dealing with The Roots, this track "Rising Up", is a solid song! Check out the video below.

New Music - Phyzikal feat. Jazzy Pha, The Dream

2008-04-23T11:02:00.000-07:00

Phyzikal is a new artist who signed to Def Jam Records, so some of you all may have not heard anything from him yet. He resides from Fort Wayne, Indiana so his music might have a slightly different vibe. Check out his new single "Who Let Em In", which features Jazze Pha and The Dream. The chorus has that T-Pain feel as vocoders were used only on this part, is anyone getting tired of this trend yet?

New Music - Ludacris - Stay Together

2008-04-04T09:59:00.000-07:00

This song, Stay Together is probably going to be a single from the next Ludacris album. The track is fire so check it out now!

New Music - Lil Wayne - A Millie

2008-04-03T10:05:00.000-07:00

This is a sample of why we've been waiting so long on Lil Wayne's new album, The Carter III. This track "A Millie" is a banger!!!

Yo! MTV Raps is Back!!!

2008-03-26T10:17:00.000-07:00

That's right everybody, "Yo! MTV Raps", is coming back for the month of April at least. They must have exhausted all of their reality TV resources and were forced to switch up the programming. Actually it is the 20th anniversary for the infamous TV show so I guess they're paying homage. Even though the show hasn't been aired for an entensive amount of time, "Yo! MTV Raps" branding is still doing good without any kind of promotion. Several fresh clothing companies have bought licenses for use of the name on their garments in the past year or so. - Yo! MTV Raps Collection from Puma. Everybody bring out your Dookie Ropes as you'll be able to check out vintage playlists of classic videos and old interviews from the likes of Fab 5 Freddy, Ed Lover, and Doctor Dre.

This is the REAL unedited version of "School Spirit" off of Kanye's album, The College Dropout. The sample used for the song was that of Aretha Franklin which was, "Spirit in the Dark", and it was said that she wouldn't clear the sample unless it was free of all explicit language. Therefore this version of the song never actually made it to the public.

First Pharell got the idea to get his Blackberry 8700 gold plated as if it wasn't big and bulky enough, now he has upgraded with the trends of today and made a gold brick out of his iPhone. It is a solid 18k gold so I'm sure that's a better protector than one of those little rubber sleeves in case he has a skateboard wreck, but what happens when he leaves this thing at the restaurant? lol

Big Boi new solo album "Sir Luscious Left Foot"

2007-12-10T20:51:00.000-08:00

Big Boi tells Vibe that he's putting 12 tracks on the upcoming album, 9 of which have already been completed. The production for this album is in the hands of Organized Noize, they have produced tracks for the Idlewild soundtrack and also the Ludacris single "Saturday". Big Boi stated, "Speakerboxx was my first solo album, so just imagine what this is going to sound like". He expressed great excitement over the new album and projected a single on New Years, because he wants everything to be '08 and brand new. He also promised a lot of surprises and said he just really wanted to bring that good music back. As a huge OutKast fan, I think this duo(as a group or solo) is untainted by the Hip Hop music of today and I look forward to hearing both solo albums. Andre 3000 also plans on releasing an album, of which will be packaged separately unlike the last release. Big Boi said after they release their solo projects they will come back and do an OutKast album together.

Mayweather knocks out Hatton

2007-12-09T12:58:00.000-08:00

LAS VEGAS -- The overwhelmingly British crowd was deafening as it cheered, chanted and sang for Ricky Hatton throughout the fight, but it couldn't fight for him. He could have used the help.

Floyd Mayweather, faster, more skilled and far more accurate with his punches, dominated Hatton and knocked him out in the 10th round to retain the welterweight championship at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday night.

Most of the fans in the wild sold-out crowd of 16,459 had come all the way from England to support their hero. They sang throughout the fight, even singing for Hatton as he lay dazed on the canvas after being knocked down for the second time.

Mayweather put an exclamation point on his pound-for-pound No. 1 status with a clinical destruction of the reigning junior welterweight champion, who moved up for the opportunity to face the "Pretty Boy" in one of the most anticipated fights in years.

MTV Interview with Bun B

2007-12-06T21:50:00.000-08:00

Two years ago, the "Free Pimp C" movement hit its zenith. Incarcerated for aggravated assault, Pimp C was absent from the Houston hip-hop scene just as the next generation of rappers — Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, Chamillionaire — was about to make its mark nationally.

The young ones knew the score: They owed much of any success they might achieve — and, more transparently, their sound — to Chad Butler, a.k.a. Pimp C, and they waved the flag emphatically in his honor. The "Free Pimp C" movement was strong enough to cut across the terse, territorial friction between North Houston and South Houston; it was powerful enough to cool long-standing beefs between locals; it united a fractured scene on the verge.

No one kept that movement alive more than Pimp C's partner in the group UGK, Bun B. The underlying sentiment for his tireless efforts was "hope," Bun B told us when we met with him in the spring of 2005 for "My Block: Houston." Bun was on a mission, dropping his partner's name in every rhyme, wearing "Free Pimp C" gear at every opportunity, talking about the day his partner would be released from prison and UGK would be reunited — and the Houston scene would be whole again. Just last summer, the group scored its first #1 album and, just today, Bun learned that "Int'l Players Anthem" has been nominated for a Grammy.

There is no hope for another day now, though, with Pimp C's passing on Tuesday. Houston, the entire Dirty South and all of hip-hop has lost an icon. But Bun B has lost a brother. The two friends were not the same men in adulthood that they were when they started UGK as teenagers in 1987, but there was a fundamental, intimate bond that existed beyond hip-hop and the music industry: They were, in essence, family, and now Bun has lost the person that's been closest to him for the longest. By his own admission, he will never be the same person again.

As reactions continue to pour in from the hip-hop community, in one of his first interviews since Pimp C's death, Bun B talked with us in an emotional, heartfelt interview about the loss of his brother, remembering Pimp C as a passionate artist and an even stronger man. Here's what he had to say ...

MTV: You've said that rapping was a hobby at first and not your dream, but that music was something Pimp cared about deeply. Can you tell us how important music was to Pimp?

Bun B: Pimp was very respectful of the [musicians] that came before him. R&B, jazz, different blues and stuff; he was a big Wes Montgomery fan, he was a big [John] Coltrane fan, he was a George Benson fan. He was really respectful of music in that sense and he was respectful of the fact that he knew the opinions and the way that our elders looked at our music at the time; this was in our earliest inception. His father was a musician and was highly critical of rap itself — not him but rap in general, the old saying that it's a bunch of noise.

Above all things, he wanted to show the musical inclinations of UGK — we didn't just sample the music. Pimp worked very hard to get live musicians to play music and record live organ sounds. And reaching out to Leo Nocentelli from [New Orleans funk legends] the Meters and saying, "I want this sound on the guitar and nobody can really play this sound on the guitar but this man," and going to the man and asking him, would he do it? And imagine one of the Meters — instead of sampling them, having one of the guys there playing the riff for you. That was his commitment. And because of [Pimp's] love ... that was the reason a person like that would consider recording with some 20-year-old kids from Port Arthur, Texas. And he was extremely, extremely passionate about showing that. If nothing else, UGK's music was at its very least musical. It had a full, rich sound. And that's kind of what separated our music from a lot of people, it had that live instrumentation.

MTV: When I talked to Slim Thug this week, he compared Pimp to Lil Jon in terms of laying the foundation for Texas' sound like Jon did for Atlanta. But our own Sway made the comparison of Pimp and Jam Master Jay, as far as the swagger behind the group.

Bun B: I kind of understand where you draw the distinction from. And believe me, that is extremely high company to be held next to, and I appreciate the compliment. I'm sure [Pimp] does too. I sit and I think about what you're saying right now and there really is no one to compare him to, for me. And I guess that's how close I am to the situation in general. Keep in mind, his favorite rapper was Run. I totally understand the Jam Master Jay-swagger reference. If you really look at it, Bun B and Pimp C — Run-DMC. We definitely derived a lot from not only them, but our peers: the Whodinis and the EPMDs and the Geto Boys. We learned a lot from all of those people. His swagger, though, I have to say, it was definitely influenced by the Big Daddy Kanes and the Run-DMCs, and even the Steady Bs and Cool Cs of the world. We listened to it all: Eazy and Cube and Too Short and all these people. At the end of the day, when it's all summed up, [though,] he was uniquely Pimp.

MTV: Pimp was recently in the news for some outspoken comments he made about Atlanta not really being "the South," and some unflattering comments about his peers. But instead of these comments painting him in a negative light, in ways they humanized him as a real person, not just a rapper.

Bun B: He was passionate. He wanted to be as honest with people as he could — almost to a fault, you know? And it's just ... it's kind of hard to really put a lot of that into words, the kind of man he was. But everything he loved — everyone he loved — he loved hard and embraced it fully. He was very passionate if he felt a certain way about things; he couldn't hold it in, he couldn't filter himself, he couldn't be politically correct. It just wasn't in him to not say what he felt. Whether he felt he was right or wrong at the time, he spoke from his heart.

He said a lot of things over the years to a lot of different people about a lot of subjects. And at the end of the day, even if you didn't agree with him, you have to give him credit and respect the fact he was willing to stand by what he said. So many people can be wishy-washy about statements and what they do, and very few give a damn about anything anymore. You know what I'm saying? And he really cared about everything and everyone, and just wanted everyone to be their best. He wanted rap to be the best. He wanted Southern hip-hop to be the best. He wanted everyone involved to be the best. He never looked down on anybody. He never made anybody feel small. He tried to uplift, especially. Sometimes that honesty can come across the wrong way, and sometimes it can be taken the wrong way, and sometimes people don't want to hear it. And that's why, even though if I [didn't agree with] how he felt, I couldn't tell him to not speak from his heart. There's a lot of things that we didn't agree on. There's a lot of opinions I had on things that he didn't agree on, but he was down with me. It was documented he didn't want to do [the Jay-Z collaboration] "Big Pimpin'," but he rolled with me on that. And that's just the relationship we had. That's just the kind of person that he was. He didn't know how to love a little; he didn't know how to care a little.

MTV: He didn't want to do "Big Pimpin'," but with "Int'l Players Anthem," he was behind that one and ...

Bun B: Yeah, I initially didn't want to do it. But [that song], the way you think of it, it's not the one that we set out to create; it ain't the one that you hear now. It went through a series of changes. That was a song that he heard on Project Pat's album and was like, "Yo, I really want to rap to that." And I was like, "Why would you want to rap to a beat that someone already rapped to?" He was like, "Because it's jamming, the record label didn't really promote it, and people didn't really hear that beat. DJ Paul and them made such a great beat, Pat went off on it, nobody got to hear that track! It's too jamming to just let go away like that, we need to bring it back." We have different moments where there's different songs that he wants to do that I feel like I don't want to do or feel like we don't need to do. But I trusted his judgment and at the same time he trusted mine.

MTV: UGK were in pursuit of recognition for so long and it got to the point where the group's influence was overwhelmingly recognized. And for Pimp, he was in jail when the recognition began to enter its heights, but the last two years for him were the fruition of that journey. It's almost as if everything came full circle.

Bun B: I just got a call about a few hours ago that we got a Grammy nomination. Me and my VP from Jive [Records] were talking about this, because we been on this label for 15 years. We've known these people longer than we've known a lot of people in our lives. And he can always remember Pimp telling him, "We going to the Grammys," and them looking at this little kid from Port Arthur like he's crazy: "He may make some good music and sell a few records, but what they do? That kind of stuff doesn't go to the Grammys." And 15 years later, a song I told him we shouldn't do and he was adamant about it — and he got his Grammy nomination just like he always wanted. I'm so happy for him. I'm so proud of him. Because he did it exactly like he wanted to do it: on his terms. We had a nomination before with Jay-Z — and we were very blessed and honored for that. But that was Jay featuring us — this one was us. Not taking anything away from Outkast, because that definitely comes into play. But at the same time, us putting Outkast on the record was his vision — seeing things a little further — and God putting together a plan for us. [He pauses.] I'm really happy for him. I know he just popped a bottle! Because in all honestly, this is what he wanted [to win a Grammy]. He's gonna put a Grammy on his mama's shelf. He's gonna put a Grammy on his mama's shelf, man. [He pauses again.]

MTV: How important has the fan support been for you and Pimp's family?

Bun B: I know I'm not alone in my grief and my pain. And it's not just his family and closest friends — there was a lot of people who loved him, there was a lot of people that were hurt before, when he went to prison, and they carried us so far and held us up for so long. They brought us to where we are right now. I know they're hurting right now. I feel their pain, I hear their prayers, I hear them on the radio. And I thank them and I love them, and I just want them to know Pimp loved them too. There's nothing more that Pimp loved more beside his family and children than his fans. He appreciated them so dearly. And he knew what it meant because of the way he loved music, and the way he loved different people and to be admired like that.

I just thank the fans for not being afraid to call in and say how much they loved him. Because his family and friends and myself included, we all need to hear that, and it's good to know that. I'm not alone right now. It's really good to know that, and I thank them for it. And I love them and he loved them, too.
