Tony Yayo presented J. Cole to 50 Cent before Jay-Z signed him

Tony Yayo claims he was a fan of J. Cole from the start and introduced the Fayetteville native to 50 Cent before Jay-Z could sign him.

Yayo said he predicted the success of several singers, including Max B, French Montana, Danny Brown, and Nicki Minaj, in a recent interview with VladTV. Around the 2-minute point of the video above, he can be heard saying, “That’s one of my talents is finding the next ones, it’s easy.” The ex-G-Unit member remembered visiting 50 in Connecticut and hearing Cole play “Simba” from The Come Up Mixtape, Vol. 1.

A snapshot Yayo shared of himself and Cole in 2015, in which he repeated some of the same details discussed in the aforementioned interview with VladTV, is embedded above.

In an interview with Vibe published in 2013, Cole discussed his encounter with 50 Cent at the latter’s residence, attributing the attempt to meet up to the previous president of G-Unit Records, Sha Money XL. He recalled that songs like “Lights Please” and “Lost Ones” being out at the time, but neither song had really piqued anyone’s interest. 

Cole stated that when he visited his house, he found Sha Money XL, Yayo, and a few others, minus 50. The crazed Yayo was saying things like ‘Son!’ When I see Tony Yayo today we still talk about that,” he recalled. “It was a crazy night.” Sha Money was determined to play Cole’s music for 50 Cent, and from what he heard, the mogul wasn’t won over by what he heard.

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

You can't win them all. Russell Simmons thought Nas sounded like Kool G Rap and passed on him. He also passed on Madonna in 84/85. 50 passed on J. Cole. Nothing PORK here, it's just a moment that's either seen or not seen based on the wisdom of an individual. Ask them now if they feel the same...haha ..😏

T.I. on SON KING HARRIS’ arrest: “will teach him life’s lessons”.

T.I. and Tiny’s son, King Harris, was detained on August 31. This prompted the 18-year-old to post a series of videos in which he responded to allegations that he was trying to pass himself off as a gangster.

The videos sparked an immediate outcry, with many people demanding that Tip do a better job of parenting his son so that he wouldn’t have to squander his future for internet fame.

As was previously reported, it was unclear what led to the arrest of the teen.

The Atlanta rap star eventually responded with an Instagram post, warning his critics that their admonitions were ignored.

“Got a small request,” T.I. said. “Stop hitting me and getting in my comments, telling me what to tell King, okay? I know my son. Think I ain’t spoke to my son? Think I ain’t told my son, his mama, and his grandmama?” he began. 

“His a– going to prison if he godd— keeps up. His a– going to prison. Ain’t no way around it. Ain’t nothing I’m going to be able to do it about it. Can’t nobody stop it but him. I’ve already had the conversation, I’ve already made my peace with it. ‘Cause I know that energy — I was that energy. I know exactly how it’s gonna turn out.”

Next, he said, “King’s a good kid. He’s chasing after the wrong s— and I trust in God to deal with it the way he see fit… Now, he going have to go through it and get through it… Life is gonna teach him all the lessons he need to know.” King had previously addressed the arrest in a video, saying that he had not sought out police intervention. The young man, then 18, began attacking those who had called him out, and he questioned why the blogs that had reported on his arrest had ignored his most recent music release as Kid Saiyan. Another viral video included a young woman proudly displaying her seatbelt violations while King can be heard stating, “got four.”

Meek Mill’s exit from Roc Nation has been addressed for the first time by Jay-Z. Hov appeared on DJ Khaled’s GOD DID and contributed a verse to the song of the same name. Jay-Z has more than four minutes to say his views on the eight-minute track, which also features Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and John Legend. He starts off by mentioning that he thinks LeBron James should join the ranks of Hip-few Hop’s millionaires.

“Hov did, please, Lord forgive me for what the stove did/ Nobody touched the billi’ until Hov did,” Jay-Z confidently rhymes. “How many billionaires can come from Hov crib? Huh/I count three, me, Ye and Rih/Bron’s a Roc boy, so four, technically.”

“Me and Meek could never beef. I freed that ni**a from a whole bid, Hov did,” the rapper boasts during his 4-minute verse.

Timed to coincide with Meek Mill’s exit from Roc Nation after a decade together is this new verse. Taking to social media on July 11 to set the record straight, Meek stated that his exit was amicable.

“All I seen today was meek and roc part ways. I’m personally handling my own business, so I can take risk and grow,” Mill clarified in his first of a series of tweets. “We came to that agreement together. I have a label deal with Roc for my artist, and I got reform super tied with them and many other investments wit Jigga.”

Drake’s new style is entertaining social media.

The artist’s new hairstyle on Instagram caused a stir.

People see through the jokes to the truth Drake has been proclaiming about himself for years: he won’t change who he is or try to be anyone else.

Paraphrasing a fan “I’ll never forget that Aubrey Graham is an actor whose biggest part to far has been Drake, as @KevCole6 put it on Twitter. With this, his musical legacy is secure. When the dust settles, he will undoubtedly go down as one of the most iconic figures in hip-hop history”. The man behind the music, however, is, hmm, unconventional.
