After the success of last year’s Deal or No Deal tour and his recent mixtape Kush and Orange Juice,Wiz Khalifa has decided to head out on tour again. Wiz Khalifa recently announced his plans, to hit 55 cities across the country for his Waken Baken tour.
Pink Watch and Tight Jeans Wiz Khalifa
The first show will kick off on September 16 at Philadelphia’s Trocadero Theatre and will make two stops in Canada. Yelawolf and Big K.R.I.T. will make guest appearances as well. Touring is the best way to build a bigger fan base these days as the internet is saturated with artists trying to make a name for themselves. Wiz Khalifa is part of the tight jeans wearing crowd so I have to say I will pass on this Tour.

Foxy Brown recently gave Nicki Minaj props for becoming a force in the music industry.
Foxy Brown gives Minaj respect for holding her own.
“What’s funny, I actually applaud Nicki for it,” Foxy said in an interview. “I think she’s doing an incredible job of branding herself. When you’re a boss b*tch, you give it up. Send her a Chanel bag or something.
If you’re winning, you’re wining. That’s just how I see it I’m not caught up in the beef at all I’m not even in that category. I’m still one of the youngest female rappers in the game. Other female rappers may feel like that because they’re older, but I myself am still young. I don’t feel that. I applaud what she’s doing.” Im like who really cares ? Who in the hell is going to buy a Nicki Minaj CD ? A 15 year old teen ? Maybe,but I dont see no real hip hop head standing in line at bestbuy with a Nicki Minaj CD in his hand. Not gonna happen !

It is being reported that the hip-hop superstar Jay-Z, who’s also a minority owner of the New Jersey Nets, is upset that James kept him out of the loop on his decision to join the Miami team.
The website Mediatakeout.com quotes an “EXTREMELY CREDIBLE insider” – the capital letters are meant to underscore the source’s supposed reliability – saying “Jay-Z felt disrespected that King James did not consult with him during the free agency process.”
And Gatecrasher got a similar take from a source in Jay-Z’s camp. “Jay never expected LeBron to sign with the Nets. He knew that no 25-year-old kid with James’ profile was going to spend years in Newark,” the source tells Gatecrasher. “But he’s pissed, or at least disappointed, that LeBron didn’t consult with him.”
Still, our source says, “I don’t think it’s going to affect their friendship.”
According to Mediatakeout’s insider, James’ silent treatment made Jay-Z look bad with Nets’ management. While LeBron was making his decision, “he didn’t even take [Jay-Z's] calls. It made [Jay-Z] look like he couldn’t deliver to the Nets management,” the website’s source says. If Jay-Z could have landed a star player, “he could have been seen as a legitimate asset to the team,” the source said. “Now they see him as just dead weight.”
Perhaps, but our source points out that given Jay-Z’s minuscule $1 million investment in the Nets, the responsibility to put together a killer team doesn’t really lie with him.
“It’s not Jay’s team,” says the source. That dubious honor goes to Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, who paid $200 million for an 80% stake in the Nets.
Another NBA insider says Jay-Z’s real source of dissatisfaction should be Prokhorov. “The Nets have no basketball team,” the source says, saying that Prokhorov “overpromoted and overmarketed” the team, but wasn’t able to deliver a player with genuine box-office appeal.

Charles Hamilton has reportedly checked into the NewYork Presbyterian Mental Hospital in an effort to gain control over his life.
Speaking in an interview, Hamilton explained his decision to seek medical help.
“Basically my stay here NY Presbyterian Mental Hospital is like identical to my stay in the industry. As far as being the new guy in here having to deal with politics & people trying to control you. The critics would have to be the doctors and the rounds medicine guys. So you can say this is like an experiment to see if the industry is really like an asylum or if I was the one bugging. Some say the Industry is like High School but it’s just like a mental hospital.”
Hamilton is also determined to prove a point while being closely looked after.
“My fellow artists would have to be my fellow patients, and they’re just as frustrated as [rappers] cause they have to take their meds and the patients in the Industry [rappers] have to take their medicine which is Industry politics. I’m the retard who takes off my med bracelet and I just do exactly what I’m not supposed to do. All I would normally do, like the stuff I do people think it’s irregular and people that really know me are like what’s everyone mad about he’s just being himself. In this hospital I can really be my natural self. Just like I am in the Industry but everyone is so content with putting up this fake imagery that feel like being yourself ruins your image. Everything I’ve done in this industry, whether it was based on outside speculation, peer pressure, or the outside feeling I was being extorted or the outside feeling I was buggin out, I remained true to me. I do it like I’ve done everything else in my life, it’s just like I’ve Alway been Valedictorian Material But I’ve made sure I was the class failure just to prove a point to administrators and the people who make money off students in the school. I’m the kid in the back of the class that will probably get beat up by all your favorite bullies and is smarter than any kid that’s ever stepped into the school but is failing.

Last month, Em shared his admiration toward Pink and reasoned his decision to collaborate with her.
Eminem has described singer Pink as “a rebel” when speaking about a new collaboration, to be included on the rapper’s forthcoming seventh album Recovery. Speaking to Radio 1’s Fearne Cotton, Eminem said: “I’ve always respected what she does. “When we did the track I heard her on it and knew vocally she’d smash it.”
Pink shared her admiration of Eminem and revealed her initial fear of him selecting her as a target during the rapper’s past run at dissing pop culture artists.
Pink also revealed how she became involved on Eminem’s Recovery track, “Won’t Back Down.”
“I think he’s one of the most poetic, ballsy, and hilarious people this industry has ever seen,” Pink told SPIN magazine. Unlike her pop peers Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson, Pink was spared Em’s wrath in his songs. “I was always afraid he’d pick me as a target, but he’s always been nice to me and finally approached me to be on the album, so I must have done something right,” said the flattered singer.

Tony Yayo has addressed Game’s recent talks of wanting a G-Unit reunion and revealed what deadly consequences there would be if they united.
Yayo threatened to “set-up” Game if he was ever given an opportunity to re-join the Unit.
“You know what I think would be cool if Game comes back,” Yayo asked XXL Mag staff during a live UStream broadcast. “I’d set him up and smoke him on the tour bus or something. Or throw him off the tour bus or run him over with the tour bus or poison his food, or, I don’t know, something. I want him to get back so I can set him up…I don’t see nobody I had beef with. We’re running around doing our thing and they’re running around doing nothing. I don’t want to be friends with Game. I don’t want to be friends with that guy. That guy’s bi-polar. He’s gonna say ‘F*ck G-Unit’ tomorrow. He’s crying one day saying, ‘Oh, hip-hop,’ then he said, ‘Oh, I want to be with the Unit,’ then he said, ‘I don’t want beef with n*ggas,’ then ‘F*ck Yayo.’ I don’t got time for that man.” (XXL Mag)

Def Jam’s Rick Ross has decided to place past differences with Dr. Dre’s artist, 50 Cent, aside and revealed his interest in collaborating with the renowned music producer.
Ross said he believes working with the “Doc” could enhance his rap career.
“I look forward to going to the next level, so hopefully on the next album, you might see a Dr. Dre collaboration or you might see a Frankie Beverly collaboration,” Ross told Sway. “I’m a player with this.” The Bawse hasn’t connected with Dre yet, but he made sure to let his wishes be known. “I’m putting it in the air right now,” Ross said of the collaboration.
I highly doubt Dr. Dre would even consider working with Ross. Dr. Dre has kept it 100 for most of his career and i dont see him working with the ex correctional officer. What can Rick Ross do for Dre ? Nothing but drag his name in the mud and thats not going to happen.

Def Jam South President DJ Khaled has revealed an interest to work with Grammy-winning singers Alicia Keys and Beyonce in the near future.
Imagining them on his past hits, Khaled also said he would love an opportunity to record with Eminem.
WE DA BEST
“If I had a chance to work with Beyonce or Alicia Keys, I would want to take them into my world. Imagine Alicia Keys singing ‘We Takin’ Over.’ You know, Khaled, I make anthems. So if I ain’t have Akon on ‘We Takin’ Over,’ imagine her singing the hook. Imagine Alicia Keys singing ‘Out Here Grinding.’ And the same thing for Beyonce. And I want to work with Eminem…I want to work with Dr. Dre. I want to actually get in the studio and make a beat with him and put him on a hook.” (VIBE)
Khaled is in his own lil world of make believe and make believe we da best. He been corny for a minute and continues down that path with every thing he says. I cant hate on him or his hustle . They gave him a title def jam president, which means somebody is giving him a extra check which is a good thing, which means he has achieved something. Success breeds hate from the have nots, the have nots are lusting over what they dont have and the hate comes out. I dont like Khaleds style but he did get paid.
