2 Chainz Gets Real On New Mixtape

‘A lot of people don’t know what it’s like to be real,’ 2 Chainz tells Mixtape Daily about his T.R.U. REALigion . By Rob Markman, with reporting by Ade Mangum 2 Chainz Photo: SDOTB Main Pick Headliners : 2 Chainz and DJ Drama Representing : Atlanta Mixtape : T.R.U. REALigion Real Spit : It’s hard to find a hotter rapper out of Atlanta than 2 Chainz right now. His current single “Spend It” remains one of the hottest songs in rap and even got a T.I. makeover when the King of the South hopped on the remix after he was released from prison in September. Still, that isn’t enough for the MC formerly known as Tity Boi. On November 1, 2 Chainz will be releasing his T.R.U. REALigion mixtape, while most fans are still clamoring over his last one, Codeine Cowboy 2 . 2 Chainz utilized some pretty clever wordplay for the title. “I spell it R-E-A-L because I feel like most people understand and know what religion is — it’s the study and belief — [but] a lot of people don’t know what it’s like to be real,” he explained to Mixtape Daily. And I’m here to kinda lead that campaign on why I feel like being real is a minority.” On the Jadakiss-assisted “One Day at a Time,” 2 Chainz slows his roll and raps about his everyday problems. After Chainz spills his feelings onto the track, Kiss jumps in with a scene-stealing verse. It is no secret that 2 Chainz’s star is on the rise. The DJ Drama-helmed T.R.U. REALigion will only cement what real hip-hop fans have known for some time now — 2 Chainz got next! Joints to Check For

Update: McDonald’s Woman Beater Explains His Side Of The Story Live From Rikers Island

Finally, Rayon MacIntosh speaks his piece… A McDonald’s cashier who swapped Happy Meals for jail fare after an ugly fast-food fight says he was goaded by a foul-mouthed customer who threatened to cut him up. Rayon McIntosh, in an exclusive Rikers Island interview with the Daily News, said yesterday that he only smacked the woman and her friend with a metal bar after they jumped the counter and attacked him. The first patron “started getting really aggressive,” said McIntosh, giving his version of the brawl for the first time. “She came in angry,” he said. “I tried to keep things calm as best I could.” The ex-con, who served about a decade on a manslaughter rap, said his Oct. 13 shift at the Greenwich Village eatery was uneventful before his two tormenters arrived. “I was not looking for trouble,” said McIntosh, 31, wearing a crisp gray jail outfit. “The trouble found me. People are portraying me as a vicious attacker. “I was just working at my job when I was attacked for no reason. I’m not a heartless person.” We TOTALLY get it that Mr. MacIntosh was attacked, cursed, and disrespected. Without question he has a right to defend himself from the two crazy beyotches that hopped the counter to catch fade, however, beating them over and over after they had hit the ground and fracturing a skull is a LITTLE overkill. While we hope that he isn’t imprisoned for 10 years, if he gets 2-3, we will understand. What say you?? Source

Poor Thang: Nicole Scherzinger’s Multi-Culti Swirl-y Love Thang Is A Wrap After Four Years

How sad! Nicole Scherzinger finally lands her first consistent post-PCD check, and it costs her the gorgeous young tender who never minded her lack of income . Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger have split up. The 26-year-old F1 racing driver – who is seven years younger than his girlfriend – decided to call time on their relationship because their conflicting work schedules meant they were seeing less and less of each other. The sportsman and Miss Scherzinger – who rose to fame as part of The Pussycat Dolls pop group – had been dating for four years. The Hawaiian-born singer is part of the judging panel on X Factor USA, alongside Simon Cowell. As a result, she is based in Los Angeles, California. Hamilton, meanwhile, travels all over the world as one of the leading drivers in F1 and has a home in Switzerland. The couple met at the European Music Awards in Munich in November 2007, before going public at the Monaco Grand Prix six months later. Miss Scherzinger, 33, was by his side as he was crowned world champion in Brazil in November 2008. But they spent increasing amounts of time apart due to their busy careers. In July there was unconfirmed speculation the couple had become engaged. The couple split in January 2010 when they had been together for 20 months. Following the break up, Hamilton told the Daily Mail: ‘I just want to move forward in a positive manner. The focus is on this season and doing the best I possibly can and getting the results on the track. I’m just keeping my mind on that. ‘It never was a distraction but I am not going to take my mind off what I’ve got to do by thinking about it.’ Speaking of their relationship recently, Hamilton said: ‘We go to the gym together quite often and she goes running with me. She does her own programme and I do mine and it’s pretty cool.’ Awwww. These celebrity cougars aren’t really giving us a whole lot of hope though, are they? Check out pics of Nicole and Lewis in happier times on the flip. Source

John Travolta Doesn’t Understand How KFC Works

According to The Daily Mail, last Friday while in West Sussex, England for an annual Scientology event, John Travolta reportedly asked one of his reps to reserve a table at the local KFC for him and his guests. The KFC employee who answered the phone kindly explained to the actor’s rep that fast food chains operate on a first come-first serve basis, even if the customer was John Travolta. The actor never got his table or his fried chicken, instead going directly to a charity dinner. A spokesman for KFC has since released a statement about the Travolta debacle: “In hindsight, of course, we would have reserved a table for him. It’s not every day you get a Hollywood star eating in your restaurant.” [ Daily Mail ]

Dancing With the Stars Top 7: Who Will Prevail?

As we know, the winner of Dancing With the Stars will be the man or woman to combines quality moves on the parquet with a fan base that calls and texts in droves. Scores do count for half the dancers’ aggregate scores each week, but when they differ by, say, 1-4 points, that leaves plenty of wiggle room for fans to close the gap. On last night’s Dancing With the Stars results show, Carson Kressley was sent home after posting the lowest scores Monday. But it won’t always be that predictable. We’ve already seen a pair of surprise ousters in Chynna Phillips and most of all Kristin Cavallari . Rob Kardashian has been undeservedly in the bottom three twice. Is Rob at risk of meeting the same fate as K-Cavs, or is he winning over fans as well as the judges? How much longer can Chaz Bono and his two left feet last? As of right now, it looks like Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez are on a collision course for the finals, but anything can happen. That’s why we ask for your take here: Who will win Dancing With the Stars?

Sam Poueu has taken a major step in his recovery from an early September fall.

Grafh Is ‘A Fan’ Of Rick Ross, Lil Wayne Labels

Free agent is considering his options while Rule EP makes some noise, in Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman Grafh Don’t Sleep: Necessary Notables Headliner : Grafh Key Cameo : “Don’t Stop” (featuring Bun B) Real Spit : Grafh is on the road to reinvention. After splitting with Black Hand Entertainment , the company he had been signed to since coming into the rap game in the early 2000s, Grafh has been putting out new music at a torrid pace. First, there was his Pain Killers mixtape, and then in September, he dropped his Rule EP, which he streams on his website for free and put up for purchase on iTunes. ” Rule ‘s getting a good response, and I really appreciate it,” Grafh told Mixtape Daily. “I worked hard on it, I put a lot of energy into it, and it’s different coming from Grafh. I took a different approach. I attacked the music more laid-back, something you can ride to, smoke to.” Typically, the Queens, New York, MC employs a rapid-fire flow, but for Rule, Grafh slowed his complex bars down just a tad. “Stoned” moves at a syrupy crawl, while a mellowed-out Grafh raps about drinking and smoking. On “It’s All the Same,” he delivers a cautionary ‘hood tale, and on the Too $hort-sampling “Don’t Stop,” the nimble lyricist teams with Bun B for a bouncy banger. Though currently unsigned, the rap free agent hopes to broker a deal for himself in the near future. Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group and Lil Wayne’s Young Money are attractive destinations. “I’m a free agent right now looking for that new money,” Grafh said. “Rick Ross is kicking major ass. He’s one of those dudes that break artists — so is Lil Wayne. He makes hella money and good music. I love what those dudes are doin’. I’mma fan of what they’re doin’.” In the end, however, it is all about the connection Grafh is currently making with his fans. “Without the fans, I’m just a n—a rappin’. They mean more to me than people would imagine,” he said. “The fans allow me to do this, or else I’d be doing something else that probably wouldn’t be legal.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

Nicki Minaj Very ‘Selective’ About Next Project

‘She wants hit records every time and she wants to be creative,’ producer Kane Beatz tells Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman Nicki Minaj Photo: Jamie McCarthy/ WireImage Behind the Beats: Kane Beatz When Nicki Minaj and Kane Beatz got together on her Pink Friday debut, the results were undeniable. Besides crafting songs like the soul-baring “Dear Old Nicki” and braggadocious album opener “I’m the Best,” the Florida producer gave the Harajuku Barbie a smash single with “Super Bass.” So it makes sense that just as Nicki the Ninja heads back into the studio to begin working on her follow-up, she’s tapped Kane for a beat or two. “It’s crazy. We got one so far. She’s in L.A. goin’ crazy,” the platinum hitmaker told Mixtape Daily while he walked the black carpet at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards . Kane, who is also working with Roscoe Dash and with Rick Ross on his upcoming God Forgives, I Don’t LP, revealed that Nicki is in the planning stages of her next album, so things could take awhile. “She just started, so she’s really picking her music and picking the songs. She’s real selective,” he said. “She’ll pick all the beats before she even starts writing, so right now, we’re just getting music together, and it’s goin’ crazy right now.” When working with Minaj, the “Bed Rock” producer focuses on presenting the Young Money star with hit records but also different types of beats that can allow her imagination to run wild. “She wants hit records every time and she wants to be creative,” he said. “With Nicki, it’s more about getting the music right and leaving her the room to be creative and leaving her room to do her.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .
