YN meets Drake (stolen blog title)


YN King of RapRadar caught up with the rapper that looks like me, Drake, last night backstage at SOB's. Your man is "100% Jewish" ? Interesting. For some reason the show looked a little light if you ask me. I heard girls went crazy as usual but guys weren't really buying it. Weird. Still just watching the Drake thing ride out.

**Bonus** If you don't have it, you should. It's a great mixtape and it'll really give you an idea of what started this Drake Phenom.

Pharrell talks about Rob Dyrdek's new film


We love Rob over here at ILL, and Pharrell too. The two came together for Rob's new "No Hollywood Allowed" feature about a skater. It's called Street Dreams and Pharrell did some music for it. Looks pretty ill.

T.Shirt's Electric Feel LIVE @ Fat Baby NYC


Cool videos keep surfacing from the fly event we threw. Stay tuned for more. We had a great time :0) I just wanna say something for those who think it's weird I did "so little" on this one. The original "Electric Feel" by MGMT kings is one of my favorite songs of all time at this point. When Ferola first put me on I literally went bananas and took it from him right away and started writing. I "remix" songs by doing them the way I would if I was in the studio with the artists while they created the record. You don't put your big, stupid voice all over this beautiful music, you just don't. You practice poise, you sprinkle, you wait for your moment. Either you love it or you don't. Michael Motherfucking Crowder gets it and that's good enough for me.

That's Jay-Z and that's Doug Morris, Head of Def Jam.

Mothafuckin' Hov. While I was out being a bit of a fuck up today but cooking something nonetheless, rumors swirled around the world that Jay-Z had bought out of his contract with Def Jam which means his 10th and final album, the eagerly awaited Blueprint 3 would now be owned independently by Jay-Z himself. Huge if true. Contacting YN directly, Hov had this to say;

"I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely. I've been in the family for almost my entire career.

Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique "negotiations" ever. Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end..

I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music."

YN: What is this coin toss about?

Hov: That takes a phone conversation, I'll save it for our interview... classic.


Sounds juicy. Jay-Z, has, and continues to break down so many boundaries and really go get it. Priceless.

They call Kanye West one of the best Label Owners in the game. Here's one of the reasons why.


Mr. Hudson has numerous music credits and I'm sure money coming in from a many avenues due to his very famous, very talented boss over at Good Music, Kanye West. His new single "Supernova" introduces him to the world via a huge stadium filling chorus. I heard it once and didn't quite like it but I'll take another listen soon.

I finally settled on the image above because her body looks amazing and she's wearing a cheetah bikini. Yesssa.

I tell people the honest to God truth every single day of my life and get shitted on for it every single day of my life. I am not alone.

There is an article in the new Esquire Magazine called "I Think Your Fat" written by A.J. Jacobs

"This story is about something called Radical Honesty. It may change your life. (But honestly, we really don't care.)"

Here's an excerpt:

What I mentioned to my boss was this: a movement called Radical Honesty.

The movement was founded by a sixty-six-year-old Virginia-based psychotherapist named Brad Blanton. He says everybody would be happier if we just stopped lying. Tell the truth, all the time. This would be radical enough -- a world without fibs -- but Blanton goes further. He says we should toss out the filters between our brains and our mouths. If you think it, say it. Confess to your boss your secret plans to start your own company. If you're having fantasies about your wife's sister, Blanton says to tell your wife and tell her sister. It's the only path to authentic relationships. It's the only way to smash through modernity's soul-deadening alienation. Oversharing? No such thing.

This is just unbelievable. Mothafuckin' Drake in Houston doesn't have to say one word.


The crowd just raps and sings his songs for him. These are arenas of people do you understand that? The kid doesn't have an album in stores. He has 2 songs on the radio, a fire free mixtape online, Hov, Weezy, Flex and the whole world cosigning and he doesn't even have a fucking record deal. This right here is something else. Stay tuned.

I hate when people try and over analyze this kind of thing. These are regular young girls with lovers and good times and there's nothing wrong with pictures like this existing. I wish people would leave them the fuck alone.

Ricky Ross in gorgeous Colombia.


*Late Pass*
For "All I Want" featuring The Dream off his Deeper Than Rap LP, Rick Ross gamed everybody in thinking it was safe for them to go out there because he "had people there". Gotta fucking love it. Ricky walking through the streets giving women roses, eating watermelon? Classic. Plus, the boy dresses mean. Big niggas take notes.

Colombia is one of the most beautiful places in the world people disappear.

my Daytona post for The Engine.

I got some feelings about homeboy. I'm not gonna write it all here but I'm sure I'll end up speaking on it somewhere one day. All I'll say is that some years ago as we were all coming up, my team and I gave his manager some material and all of the sudden my man was rhyming differently, over rock music, that sort of thing. You gotta know the full history of everything to understand where I'm going with this. On top of it all, I'm a hard nigga to impress and I just feel like, my frustration about where I'm at currently mixed with dude's questionable style leads me to some times really wonder who the fuck is cosigning the kid and why aren't they cosigning me. Whatever though. Truth is I don't think he's terrible on records at all. A couple of my friends do haha. They're probably just being loyal to me though. I recently asked him to do a joint with me and he kinda ignored my question which I thought was corny. I was really just asking for some help despite the way I feel about everything. I guess this is how these beefs come about.

Anyway, I just heard this record he dropped today. The link seemed to be a little faulty so I'm giving it a new one.
I like it, it's chill and as usual Day sounds good money. It's his visual game that's really a problem for me. Download The Engine - The Kid Daytona

..for Old Times Sake.

How sad is this song? Why is he only rhyming as Triumph The Dog now? So many questions I have.

Listen to once, do not Download Old Times Sake - Eminem feat. Dr. Dre

**Update** Here's a excerpt from the Vibe interview. This explains to me a bit more why he sounds the way he's been on tracks.

In the new issue of Vibe, Em speaks more on his drug usage and music addiction.

" 'My doctor told me those mysterious new pills were methadone, which is used to wean heroin addicts off dope. Had I known it was methadone, I probably wouldn’t have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can’t even say 100 percent for sure. My doctor told me the amount of methadone I’d taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin. Even when they told me I almost died, it didn’t click.' After detoxing, Eminem suffered a knee injury that required surgery, but because of his recent drug abuse, he was not prescribed painkillers. He recalls, 'I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin…I’m ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little napkin, seven and a half Vicodin—the big extra strength ones—and a few Valium.' The rapper soon relapsed for the second time and finally admitted to himself he was an addict. 'It never once hit me that drug addiction runs in my family. Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.' ”

“ 'I wanted to make an overall statement—I’m back. It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn’t recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober…I don’t know the last time I shot a video sober, without drinking or taking anything. It’s been years.” He continues, 'I almost feel like a little kid again with rap. I wanna play around with different flows. If I don’t feel like it’s what I’m fully capable of, if there’s one weak line, I wanna change it. Rap was my drug. It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that…now rap’s getting me high again.'"
