It was only a matter of time before Jay-Z would return to the creative realm that brought him the likes of his first two Blueprint albums, given that his last non-American Gangster album, Kingdom Come, was an’ unyielding disaster. The Blueprint 3 promises to be a return to the Jay who so freely wares his hart on his sleeve with tracks like “History” (a song celebrating the Obama presidency), and “Jockin’ Jay-Z” serving as early precursors to the album. So there may not actually be that big a difference between the rapper and the person. When Jay-Z and Swiss Beats teamed up for the joint “On To The Next One”. He raised more then a few brows with his [Verse 3] that lets you no that he’s ALL THE WAY IN!  
 
 

[Verse 3] 

Uh, Big pimpin in the house now,


bought the land, tore the muthaf-cking house down,


bought the car, tore the muthaf-cking roof off,


ride clean, I don’t ever take the shoes off,


bought the jeep, tore the muthaf-cking doors off,


foot out dat b-tch about to sh-t like a skateboard,


navigation on tryin to find my next thrill,


feelin myself i don’t even need an x pill,


can’t chill but my neck will,

haters really gon be mad off my next deal,


uh, i dont know hwy they really worry bout my pockets,

meanwhile i had Oprah chillin in the projects,


had her out in Bed Stuy chillin on the steps,


drinking quarter waters gotta be the best,


MJ at summerjam, Obama on the text,

y’all should be afraid of what I’m gonna do next.

Hold up,

Happy Birthday To My Son. The Apple of My Eye.
I Know You’ll Have a Blessed and Prosperous Day.

Love You. Love You. Love You.
See You Soon

Love Mom

“We in a time of a transition and we need a new sound, we need a new direction, a new leader! And I feel like that’s what I’m here for. To fill that position that void.” 
 

How did you get the name Nipsey Hussle?  

The meaning behind the name Nipsey Hussle is: 

You know the last name Hussle more represent the spirit and the reputation that I had before I had the nickname. It was more or less my homey boy baby kosh threw on me one day in a joking fashion, like jokin’ clownin’ around so it was just something that ended up stickin’ over time. There was no real meaning ta’the Nipsey part, just a spin-off to Nipsey Russle. I didn’t know who that was at the time, since I took the name, I did a lil’ research and found out about it and ain’t no parallels between me and him. Personally I just kinda liked how the name sound, you know? I personified the life style and the hustle and ambition so that why that stuck.  

Where do you come from? 

Originally I come from Los Angeles, California the west side, Crenshaw Slauson area, known as the Rollin’ 60’s 
 

What do you got goin’ on right now that the people could look out for? 

The moves that I’m makin’ right now, I’m doin’ a lot! I’m working on my debut project :South Central State of Mind” I’m workin’ on the Slauson Boy album and a Slauson boy mixtatape, Wich is myself/Cuzy Capone, Hustla Rob, G-Bob, Bret Paul, J-stone, Tiny Boss Hogg and Shadey Blue. Aside from that, we developin’ a company “All money In No money out we got acts getting ready to sign to that, ummm we tryna’ situate a distribution deal for the label. 

We got a new store opened up in L.A. Slauson t-shirts you know we had closed down temporarily since my brother been home, we opened it back up. Um, you know we got the studio Dedication Studio in Los Angeles, and you know we been makin’ really focused on making my solo debut as big and as classic as possible. And that’s what we got goin’ on right now.  
 

What is your current thought on the state of hip-hop? 

My thought on the current state of hip-hip west-coast hip-hop is that we in a time of a transition and we need a new sound, we need a new direction, a new leader! And I feel like that’s what I’m here for. To fill that position that void. No cut/ 
 

Who will follow after the Hussle? 

When it comes to who I’m gonna bring into the game when I’m ready, you know definitely the Slauson Boys. Definitely J-Stone, definitely Kid Cali, definitely Gran-Pa, Rolow, and a young dude from Watts named Killa Twan, and there’s a couple of other people that I deal with that I’ll hopefully be in the position to know be a bridge to or a foot in the game to, you know those people I named most definitely. 
 

What is your definition of Swagg? 

Confidence, believing in yourself and knowing you that ni**a instead thinking about it or fantasizing about it, you just know and you’re confident in what you do based on your program. 

What does it mean to be So West Coast And A Gangster G? 

Shit I feel like you know that’s a term that was put on the lifestyle. So I just feel like be yourself before you try and be anything else.  
 
 
 
 

What is your favorite designer brand? 

It’s probably Levi’s, 501’s. Keep it 100.  

Top to bottom my swagg would be fly Crip’n simply put. That’s what my swagg is.  

When was the last time you went to the Swap Meet? 

The last time I was shopping, was at the Slauson swap meet, earlier this week.  A couple of days ago. 

And as far as shopping at the t-shirt shop, well we just opened it back up so we shoppin’ for it. We ain’t shoppin in it. We buy the merchandise that goes in the shop.

Grammy Award-winning R&B singer D’Angelo was arrested early yesterday after allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while cruising alone through the West Village — with $12,000 stashed in his SUV.

D’Angelo, 36, whose real name is Michael Archer, was in his top-of-the-line Range Rover at Greenwich and Horatio streets at about 2:30 a.m. when he spotted a woman he took to be a prostitute, sources said.

He was arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex, the sources said. His manager declined to comment.

Greetings hip-hop colleagues, I need your help today I’m calling on a Hip-hop Boycott on Ozone magazine and it’s founder Julia Beverly. Most of you  already know the history of this individual and her lying ways and treacherous slandering and causing beef with in the hip-hop community. Well she is back up to her old tricks again by putting out a false video of HAH founder Johnnie Cabbell saying that he was evicted. I personally called  him and the first thing I said to him was he ok. To show the humanity side there ain’t nothing funny about people having hard times, in this recession. The second thing I did was go down to his offices at 55 Marietta street and not only did I see his office is in tact but all of his employees were in there working as if it was just a regular day. How ever because the bloggers did not take the time to do their research it resulted in Johnnie having to do damage control once again. It would appear that there is some personal beef between these two which has nothing to do with the hip-hop community or the public domain. Julia has countless times caused beef with in our community by pitting rappers against each other and bringing them enough negative press that very well could have ended up getting a few acts jail time as a result.

For 8 years I have sat here and watched hip-hop journalism and it’s credibility go down the drain. Julia Beverly has shown countless number of times that she does not care whose life she destroys by using her outlet to put out non factual evidence and this is supposed to be a magazine. She is a disgrace to hip-hop and unless we do something about this very soon I’m afraid it is going to end up somebody getting seriously hurt, going to jail or worse. I’m requesting an interview with the press to express my views and hopefully we can all start a dialog about how to resolve this problem. No other media outlet does this except her. We all learned from Biggie and Tupacs death there are just somethings you just don’t do in hip-hop because we are emotional and can get volatile at times. You can reach me at this email address and let me know your thoughts. Its one thing to not know the truth but it’s even a greater atrocity when you don’t do anything about it. Please feel free to forward this email out to as many people that you know including radio station hosts but this is a discussion that needs to be had and a problem that needs to be resolved now!

sincerely
Isis wisdom
