J. Cole Defends 'Cole World: The Sideline Story' Delay

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 04:42 AM PDT

J. Cole has defended the delay of his debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story, saying that she he had pressure on him for the record to be perfect.

Since releasing his three mixtapes, Cole has been praised and dubbed as the best thing to happen to hip-hop in almost a decade. The Roc Nation rapper explains how this put pressure on him to deliver an album that would please his fans as much as the record label. "I always been ready to go. At all points. Even if I didn't have a release date right now, if the album wasn't coming out, I'd be ready," Cole told Power 98.3.

"At all points during this process, I was ready. It's just a matter of expectations. When you have the expectations of a whole label and how they look at you and perceive you and what they want your success level to be, then you're going to have a lot of opinions on singles or whatever."

Cole World: The Sideline Story is out now.

Dappy: 'I Always Knew I Would Be Famous'

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 03:32 AM PDT

Dappy has revealed that he always wanted to be famous and explains how he used to trick people into taking his autographs even before the N-Dubz fame.

The 'No Regrets' rapper says that he used to walk around with a pen in his pocket in the hope that somebody would think he was famous and ask him to sign something. "When I was 15 I used to walk around with a pen in my pocket hoping that people would think I was famous and ask me for my autograph," he told Now magazine.

"My long-term girlfriend from Greece came over to England and I paid someone a fiver to ask me for my autograph. She was like, 'Wow!' I felt so good! Ha, ha, I can't believe I did that."

There is no need for Dappy to pretend to be famous anymore as he is currently sitting at number one on the official charts with his debut single 'No Regrets.'

Randy Jackson Reveals Tina Turner Shot Him In The '80s!

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 03:06 AM PDT

Randy Jackson has revealed that Tina Turner once shot him in the 1980s when she thought he was an intruder.

The brother of the late Michael Jackson has never revealed the shocking admission before, but felt that now was the time to let his fans in on the secret. "This is something many of u probably don't know," he wrote on his Twitter page.

"Yes, Tina Turner shot me. I have the scar to prove it," he admits. "Having said that, there was no violence on my part, nor have I ever owned or carried a weapon. I went to Tina's house to see my girlfriend. I guess I caught them off guard... It was in the Eighties. And I don't hold a grudge against Tina, she's a great asset to our industry."

Randy is expected to be spending time with his family at the moment, in light of the trial against Dr. Conrad Murray into his brother Michael's death.

The X Factor judge has maintained a healthy weight over the years and even more recently has achieved a toned, athletic figure. Kelly admits that while she will most probably never slim down to a US size zero, she is happy with the way she is now. "It's not all about dress size but also about being healthy as well. I'll never be a size zero. I'm happy being a size 10, but I want to be healthy."

Revealing her fitness regime, Kelly says: "I work out every other day at least. If you don't then I don't think you see the rewards. Even if you can get 30 minutes of cardio in every other day you'll see a big change in yourself."

Beyonce Announces 'Countdown' As Next Single From '4' Album

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 02:40 AM PDT

It has been revealed that Beyonce's next single from her latest album 4 will be 'Countdown.'

The songstress has already released several singles from her fourth studio album including: 'Girls (Run The World),' 'Best Thing I Never Had,' while she has released a music video for ballad '1+1.' Countdown is a party track with an infectious beat and will no doubt prove popular with fans.

However, they may be slightly disappointed as it was widely speculated that Bey was going to release either 'Party' or 'End Of Time' next, considering they have proved to be the most popular songs on the album. It is also believed that Bey has already filmed music videos for the tracks.

4 topped the charts in both the US and UK and has been certified platinum.

Is 'Countdown' the right choice for the next single?

Majority Of Dr. Conrad Murray's Jury On Trial Fans Of Michael Jackson

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 02:25 AM PDT

Two thirds of the jury sitting on the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray into the death of Michael Jackson are fans of the late singer's music, it has been revealed.

The Sun reports that 400 potential jurors were asked to take a 30-page questionnaire before they were chosen for the trial, which included questions about the King Of Pop's music. One question read: "Have you ever considered yourself a fan of Michael Jackson or the Jackson family?"

Out of the seven men and five women that were eventually chosen, eight said that they were fans of Michael. One female juror said that she had been a fan of the star since she was a child, while another said that she was a fan of his multi-platinum selling album Thriller. 

The jury panel consists of twelve men and women between the ages of 32-57 and is made up of six white jurors, five Hispanic and one African-American.

Dr. Murray's trial starts today in Los Angeles where he faces claims of involuntary manslaughter against the pop star who passed in 2009.

Interview Time: Outlawz Member Young Noble Talks Smoking 2Pac's Ashes, Why New Album Is A 'Classic' & More!

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 02:09 AM PDT

Discovered by the late, great, and arguably best to ever do it, Tupac Shakur, the Outlawz were the ride or die collective that featured heavily on the multi-platinum selling albums All Eyez On Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. Also known as Outlaw Immortals as well as Dramacydal, both with slightly different line-ups, the group have never stopped representing for 2Pac’s legacy. Featured on one of the most infamous diss records in history - ‘Hit ‘Em Up’, they’ve been through the highs and the lows before and after their big homie’s untimely passing.

Switching up record labels, losing another member to gunfire - Yaki Kadafi died in 1996, and disgruntled members leaving and then returning to the group, the name is now carried on by just three members - E.D.I. Mean, Fatal Hussein, and Young Noble. Back with a much talked about new album, Perfect Timing, coincidentally released on the 15th anniversary of 2Pac’s death, which contrary to public belief was not actually intentional, the group have announced it will be their last album together.

Talking to TaleTela, member Young Noble explains why it’s their last album, clears up the 2Pac ash smoking controversy that many media outlets have focused upon as of late, and thanks the fans for riding with them for such a long time. 

What have you guys been up to as of late being that we haven’t heard much from you on the commercial side of things?

We’ve actually been consistently putting out mixtapes and independent projects. So those who stay in tune to what the Outlawz have been doing know that we haven’t gone nowhere. We’ve got a new album out, which we’re very excited about.

Before we get in to the new album, how long has it been since your last album and why has it taken so long to release this new one?

Our last Outlawz album came out in 2005. However, as I mentioned we’ve been putting out numerous other projects since then. There was the ‘We Can’t Sell Dope Forever’ project with Dead Prez, me and Stic.Man from Dead Prez put out an album, me and Fatal put out an album. So every year we’ve been putting out independent projects and crew mixtapes. So since 2005 we might have put out seven or eight different albums. We haven’t been sat around not putting out any music. All the Outlawz fans have been tuning in to what we’ve been doing and have been supporting everything we put out and our old stuff too. It’s just the perfect time now, just like the name of the album. It’s time for a change in music. We feel like we’re some of those dudes that represent real music and represent the truth.

Tell us about the new album...

It’s our best album to date. It’s classic from beginning to end. We definitely got some good features on there. We got Young Buck, Scarface, Bun B, Lloyd, Tech N9ne, Krayzie Bone, Trae Tha Truth, Z-Ro, Kastro, and a lot more. It’s our reunion album with Hussein Fatal, and as I said I think it’s our best album to date, hands down. From lyric-wise to production-wise we’ve stepped it up a whole lot. I’m so excited for people to finally hear it. 

Being that you are highly respected within the industry, is this how you were able to get so many features?

Well everybody on the album are friends of ours. They’re dudes whose music we respect, and at the same time they also respect ours. That’s pretty much how we work as far as the rap game goes. There’s also a lot of independent producers on the album and there’s also a few unknown singers on the album too. We just like working with talented people that respect us and we respect them.

The album was released in the US on September 13th, which is a very special date in the rap calendar. Please explain for those that might not know...

Well September 13th is the day that 2Pac passed away 15 years ago. So it marked the 15th year anniversary of ‘Pac passing. We didn’t pick that date on purpose. It just so happened that the album was supposed to be out earlier than that but we had to push it back to September. So we was like, “Well albums only get released on Tuesdays (in the US),” and that so happened to be a Tuesday. So it all goes back to it being on God’s time. So it’s perfect timing and that’s why it’s the title of the album.

We hear that it’s also your last album as a group. Is this true, and whose decision was this?

It was a collective decision. We are considering this to be our final Outlawz album. I don’t know if we’re ever gonna make anymore. The reason being is I know we’re gonna continue to do solo albums, different ventures, and stuff like that. We’ll probably reach out to some new dudes in the game. It’s really gonna depend on the fans and the people who support real music. Because honestly, we’re the only group in the world who’ve been on over 60 million records (sales-wise) but have never been signed to a major record label, never had major radio play, or even TV play, but here we are 15 years later and we’re making the best music of our life and still travelling and touring the world every year. I feel like as far as the music industry is concerned, real music like ours is highly unappreciated. We keep our ear to the street and listen to the industry, and it seems like everybody is screaming that there’s a lack of real music being played and supported.

So me personally I think we represent the epitome of truth music. You know? From the music we did with 2Pac to the music we’re doing now. We always try to cater to the voiceless, the hopeless people, the lost souls, you know? The people who actually listen to music for inspiration, and it’s like our music is highly unappreciated. So we’re now thinking at this point that if you’re screaming for something that’s real, here it is! It’s right here in your face. It’s the realest shit you’re probably gonna get in the game. So if the world and the consumers don’t go out and support this album, and when I say support I mean go out and purchase it, listen to it and then tell a friend to go and get it, then we’re not gonna give it to them. They’ve been telling us for years that we’re the truth and that we’re probably not gonna get the credit or recognition until we’re gone. So we’re figuring at this point we’re still young and we’ve still got a lot we want to accomplish. So when they open up the history books, and the 2Pac books, and they have to do their research, and they get to the Outlawz chapter we want to make sure that it finishes off strong. We’re gonna make people respect and appreciate good music. So if y’all gonna wait for us to die to do that then we ain’t gonna let you wait until then, we’re gonna make you do that now. We ain’t gonna give it to you no more. I really don’t want this to be our last album. If it’s supported the way it needs to be supported and the fans react to it the way they need to react to it then we’ll give them more Outlawz albums.

Name three of your favourite tracks on it?

One of them is ‘Perfect Timing’. It’s the first record on the album. It’s a great record first and foremost. I just think it’s the perfect time for a real message with a real history. My second, I would have to say is ‘Pushin’ On’, which features Scarface and Lloyd. It’s another classic record. I love the message on it. No matter what you got going on in your life don’t give up. You’ve gotta keep pushing on. There’s so many classics man. Every time I listen to it I have a new favourite. I would say the other one, right now, is ‘Don’t Wait’ featuring Krayzie Bone. It’s a record for the females but it takes a different approach. It’s not your typical shake-your-ass song. We’re actually telling a female that because we’re so focused on getting this money right now we don’t want her to wait for us. We love each other but it’s better if she finds someone who will take the time to treat her how she should be. It’s like the hustler song that both the males and females are going to be able to relate to. If you’re all about getting any kind of money right now and you’re busy all the time then you’ll be able to relate to this song. Overall the album is classic from start to finish and every other day I really do have new favourites. I just can’t wait for everybody else to hear it so people can start telling us which tracks are their favourites.  

You’ve moved around various different labels, including Rap-A-Lot, and more recently Young Buck’s Cashville Records. Does your relationship with Young Buck and Cashville still stand?

Well Cashville Records is a movement and Young Buck and C-Bo are our brothers. Our relationship with both of those guys is way deeper than just rap music. We were actually gonna sign to Cashville Records but then Buck had his situation with 50 Cent, which basically put Buck in an uncomfortable position in his life. So the whole Cashville situation didn’t take off like it should have. Buck is still our brother and we continue to do business with him. We do concerts with him all the time, in fact I spoke to him just yesterday. So we never actually signed and it never quite popped off like it should have. At first he was still signed to G-Unit and 50 was behind Cashville as well. 50 thought that Cashville was gonna be bigger than G-Unit, which he was probably right. Buck had us, he had C-Bo, and he had himself. So Cashville was gonna be something huge and 50 was 100% behind us at the time. However, when 50 and Buck got in to their situation it put Buck’s life on hold for a second. So we had to continue to do what we had to do as businessmen and family men. But that takes nothing away from our relationship with Buck. It’s never been based on a dollar. We’re loyal dudes and honorary dudes, so while Buck was going through his downtime and down period we were all there and all supportive. Young Buck is our comrade. That’s the homie right there.

You guys came to fame under the wing of 2Pac. Where exactly did you come from, because you sort of just popped up?

I mean, we come from 2Pac. He started the Outlawz. He was the first Outlaw. We weren’t just his group members, he was in the group. We were in a group together. All of us are pretty much family. I came to the group through Kadafi and Fatal, It wasn’t just a group 2Pac put together. We’re all family. We were then a creation from the mind of 2Pac. So if anybody doesn’t know who the Outlawz are then they need to do their research. If they’ve heard any 2Pac albums then they’ve heard us on them. We’ve got a catalogue of classic records. When we do concerts we rap for two hours straight and the audience know every single song we perform. We’ve been doing this for 15 years, so if anybody hasn’t heard of us then I feel sorry for them because they’re missing out on some great music. 

What do you think 2Pac would have thought to today’s rap game?

That’s really hard to answer. If ‘Pac was still living it would be a totally different rap game. That pretty much answers the question right there. If 2Pac was still here today he still would have been the biggest rapper in the world and the Outlawz would be the biggest group in the world. Music would be totally different. You’d be able to hear real music on the radio everyday. 

Do you think he would have stepped away from music a little bit to do movies being that he was appearing in more and more movies as time went on?

Yeah. When ‘Pac was alive he was already in motion to start his own film company, and he wanted to write and direct movies. Now 15 years on he probably would have had 10 movies out that he would have written and produced with him also starring in them, as well as us maybe starring in them. I mean who knows? The guy was so ahead of his time at 25-years-old that me even speaking on it wouldn’t do him any justice. He was so ahead of his time I can’t imagine what he would be on right now. He’d probably be running somebody’s city. He probably would have messed around and become the mayor of California or some s**t. ‘Pac was crazy.

Do you have any exclusive stories about 2Pac you might not have told anyone before that you can share with us now?

I got a funny one for you. I remember one day we all woke up, it was me, Kadafi and Napoleon, and we ended up heading out. We all lived with ‘Pac but he wasn’t up yet. We all had somewhere to go so we had gotten up and got dressed, but he hadn’t yet. In the meantime we were all hungry so we decided to get some food in the truck that he had bought us. When we got back he was dressed and ready to go and I guessed he was pi**ed at us because he was saying, “Y’all left without saying s**t. Don’t take the truck no more.” He was seriously pi**ed at us. He was having one of them days. So we got back with food and this guy snatches it out of our hands and throws it in the garbage. So we’re like, “What the f**k?” We wanted something to eat and this dude does this. But he’s the General so we’re like whatever we ain’t gonna argue with this dude.

Obviously he was taking care of us, we’re living with him, and he was like, “Yeah man, you should have said something,” and he threw our s**t in the garbage. We ended up scattering about the house and not even leaving. We had somewhere to go and didn’t even end up going. So I guess he ended up feeling bad that he actually did this because maybe an hour or two later he cooks for us. He ended up cooking all this shrimp and all other types of crazy s**t. That was a really funny story to me. He got so pi**ed at us that he snatched the food right outta our hands and threw it away and was ready to fight us about leaving and not saying nothing, and then an hour later he turns around and cooks us a great meal. Instead of being apologetic and saying that he was sorry he just cooked for us. That was just a sign of his character. He knows that he didn’t have to go that far but he made it up to us by cooking us a great meal. That’s one of the many crazy ‘Pac stories. 

What’s your favourite 2Pac song?

‘Shed So Many Tears’. It’s just one of those records that touches my heart when I hear it. We always perform that song at our concerts. We have a segment during our concerts where we play a melody so ‘Pac can be heard. The people go crazy and that’s one of the songs that they play. I rap the lyrics and then I usually have to ask them to cut the song off early because I get choked up. I be damn near about to cry on stage. It’s just one of my favourite songs. I relate to it. You know? It’s a serious record.

You guys made headlines recently when it was reported that you all smoked some of 2Pac’s ashes many years ago. Is this true?

I’m not gonna get too deep in to that but what I can say is the media took what we said and flipped it to create their own headlines. First and foremost I’m gonna say that ‘Pac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, had no knowledge of it. She wasn’t around us when we did it. She wasn’t there. She had absolutely nothing to do with it. I can say that it was something that we did with the upmost respect and honour for our big homie. It wasn’t something that we came up with. It was something that ‘Pac came up with as part of his last wishes. At the end of the day it was what it was. You know what I’m saying? Our intentions for doing it 15 years ago was to honour our fallen General. It was our way of honouring him. It was one of his last wishes and we fulfilled it.

It wasn’t too long ago either that you guys settled your differences with Biggie’s right-hand man Lil’ Cease. How did that go and how did it come about?

It went great. We got the record out together on the new (DJ) Kay Slay album. It’s called ‘Bury The Hatchet’. It’s one of the hottest records out right now in the streets. About eight years ago Cease called someone on the phone while I was stood next to this person. Thinking about it, I guess it was meant to be. So I was like, “Let me get on the phone with this guy.” When we got on the phone initially we actually started beefing with one another. It was damn near about to be World War III. However at some point during the call we ended up just talking like men and getting to the bottom of everything that had happened in the past. I really feel like that if Biggie and ‘Pac had had that conversation while they were still living everything would have been different and they would have been making music together today. So we’ve actually been chopping it up with Cease from about eight years ago. Every year we’ll call each other up just to check on each other, but it was actually Kay Slay who called us and asked us if we would think about doing a record together for his last album. It seemed like the perfect time. We had always talked about doing a song together but we felt like it had to be the right time. We wanted to let the world know that it was time to bury the hatchet. To this day people can’t mention Biggie or ‘Pac in the same breath without comparing them to one another, talking about which one is better, or it’s like fuck the other one or whatever the case may be. These guys are legends. You need to honour both of them. You know what I’m saying? We just felt like if we could show the world that we’ve gotten past it, with us being ‘Pac’s brothers and Cease being B.I.G.’s brother, then the hip-hop community should be able to as well. 

With ‘Perfect Timing’ essentially being the Outlawz swan song, what message do you have for the fans who have been with you since day one?

I wanna tell them that we’ve been around this long because of them. I wanna thank them whole heartedly for recognising us as individuals and respecting the kind of music we make by connecting to it. That’s where a lot of artists today get it confused. A lot of artists sell a bunch of records, get a big head, and then they think it’s all about them. Whereas it’s really all about the people that support you. If you didn’t have any supporters you wouldn’t sell any records. We never lost sight of who we were, who we are, and why we do this. So I just wanna let the fans know that the Outlawz 15 years later are around because all of them supported us, bought our records, and came to our shows. We exist because of them. They’re a part of this. We don’t say we have fans, we say we have fam, because we do. We feel 2Pac and the Outlawz supporters are different than any other rapper’s supporters. They really ride with us until the third power. I just wanna salute them and tell them that we appreciate them whole heartedly for all of the years of support.

Fazer Sparks Controversy After Being Pictured With A Roll-Up Cigarette

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 01:50 AM PDT

Fazer has sparked controversy after he was pictured with a roll-up cigarette in his hand, which appeared to be weed. 

The N-Dubz rapper was attending a party to celebrate his bandmate Dappy reaching number one with his debut solo single 'No Regrets.' While Fazer was initially talked about for making his first public appearance with Tulisa as his girlfriend, attention then turned to the suspicious-looking cigarette in his hand.

Now, some are claiming that Fazer may be at the wrath of anti-drug campaigners who may argue that he is promoting the use of marijuana. Several media outlets have attempted to contact Fazer's representatives, however, they have not made any comment regarding what it was that was in his hand.

The controversy could come as a blow to girlfriend Tulisa who is trying to reinvent herself as clean-cut for in light of her new job as a judge on The X Factor. 

Are people overreacting over Fazer's 'cigarette?'

Rihanna Ordered To Cover Up Revealing Outfits On 'We Found Love' Video Shoot

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 12:48 AM PDT

Rihanna was ordered to cover-up during the video shoot for new single 'We Found Love,' when a farmer found her outfits too revealing.

The songstress was in Northern Ireland for the shoot wearing bra tops and exposing large amounts of skin, when she was told off by a farmer for being inappropriate. Alan Graham - whose land RiRi used to film her music video - told the BBC: "I thought it was inappropriate. I requested them to stop and they did. I had my conversation with Rihanna and I hope she understands where I'm coming from. We shook hands."

He added: "From my point of view, it was my land, I have an ethos, and I felt it was inappropriate. I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God."

Meanwhile, Alan claims that when RiRi's team approached him to ask permission to use his land, he had no idea who she was. "If the name Rihanna had been mentioned, well, no disrespect but it wouldn't have meant anything."

Was Alan exaggerating regarding Rihanna's clothing - or lack of?

Dionne Bromfield: 'Amy Winehouse Death Still Not Sunk In'

Posted: 27 Sep 2011 12:06 AM PDT

Dionne Bromfield has revealed that she is still grieving Amy Winehouse's death, saying that it "hasn't sunk in."

The 15-year-old was Amy's goddaughter and the two were very close, often seen out together. Amy also championed Dionne's budding music career and was helping the youngster wither her album at the time of her death. 

Now, Dionne reveals that she is struggling to come to terms with the star's passing, telling ITV1's Lorraine: "It's still quite hard to get over it to be honest - it hasn't sunk in."

"I still now don't feel like... well you hear her on the radio and you see her in the papers still - so it's like she's there, but not physically there."

Dionne also paid tribute to her late godmother, saying that she was a "massive influence" and "she taught me how to play the guitar and everything, so she's my inspiration."
