Teairra Mari, Yung Berg Beef

February 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment

R&B singer Teairra Mari has lashed out at rapper Yung Berg over past comments he made about her personal affairs and denied ever being attracted him.

Talking to hip-hop personality Young Jack Thriller, Mari addressed her issues with Berg.

“You know what? I’ll get his a** jumped again,” Mari said in an interview when jokingly targeted as the person responsible for Yung Berg’s past robberies. “I don’t like Yung Berg. I’m sorry. [Why?] Because I did an interview with [New York radio station Power 105.1's] ‘The Breakfast Club’ and they told me, like, all this stuff Yung Berg was saying about me, like, putting my business out, saying — who I dated and who I was in a serious relationship with and I just feel like he violated my privacy. And if he ever goes back to Detroit, they will jump him again. … I’ve never even looked at him as an attractive person. I don’t even like light skinned guys.” (This Is 50)

Mari previously appeared on “The Breakfast Club” and hinted at her dislike of him.

Teairra Mari has reemerged onto our radar after appearing on Vh1?s “Love & Hip Hop.” The sexy singer assisted in helping Emily B. get passed her Kimbella debacle. Aside from being a reality star, Mari has a new album coming out under Rico Love‘s Division 1 imprint. After discussing business politics, The Breakfast Club brought up an interview with Yung Berg where he claimed she had given him her number.” Yung Berg is always too high off ecstasy and coke or whatever, he don’t know s**t bout me,” said Mari before realizing she might have but just didn’t call.

Last year, Berg hit up SOHH and rated celebrity women on a scale from 1 to 10.

“Amber Rose, on a scale of 1 to 10, I think she’s like a strong 9,” Berg told SOHH. “That’s not really my cup of tea just off the strength of me loving black women and I love women of all races and colors but I just think Amber is dope but she’s been with a couple too many celebrities. I would like something that’s just untampered with. Nicki Minaj? I think she’s dope. She’s a solid 7 or 8. I couldn’t really imagine myself having sex with Nicki Minaj or nothing like that because she’s got so many personalities, I wouldn’t know who I was f*cking but I think she’s an incredible artist and a beautiful young woman.” (SOHH)

He previously talked about falling back on rocking luxury jewelry in light of past robberies.

“On some real sh*t back in the day when I was buying those big a** chains and sh*t, I felt like that was a part of me being Yung Berg. But me growing up and being Christian, being Mr. Ward, and who I really I am, I toned down. I’m not going to be with the big gaudy chains because people would look and they would say ‘Well, this n*gga still ain’t learn his lesson.’ I learned my lesson. I’m going to have jewelry but it’s going to be more upscale and common. It’s not going to be catching just the nigga eye.” (VIBE)

Common Explains The Origin of The Drake Beef

January 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Common and Drake have been exchanging shots at one another over the past few weeks, with the former most recently releasing a scathing diss remix to Rick Ross’ “Stay Schemin.” Speaking with Sirius Hip-Hop Nation last night, the Chicago, Illinois native said that the battle is not because Drizzy was hanging out with his ex-girlfriend Serena Williams, but more because he took it to the next level.

“Well, the song ‘Sweet,’ for me, was a song where I was really talking about Hip Hop. A lot of the softer side of Hip Hop is just being the example of what people think Hip Hop is. To me, you can express yourself in many different ways, but I was just missing that hardcore Hip Hop, that raw Hip Hop sound, and I was just talking about it. I was saying, man, the song ‘Sweet’ was cats out there doing sweet music. Dude must have took offense to it, so he came out and said some things, and once he said something on record, I said something on record.”

Common asserts that he did not intend to specifically diss Drake, but once he responded in concert, the floodgates opened.

“That was the first thing that he responded and said something. I was like, well, I wasn’t trying to address you specifically, but if you feel like you are that person and if you’re addressing this to me, then I have to address you back,” he continued. “But my whole mentality was that I’m doing this for Hip Hop music. I’m not trying to bring somebody down. At the end of the day, I just expressed what I felt about Hip Hop. And I’ma keep it on that level, just as an emcee. That’s how I battle. I don’t try to battle any other way than emceeing.”

Contrary to rumors on the Internet, the battle is not over Com’s ex-girlfriend Serena Williams. Though Drake was spotted with her following their breakup, Common maintains that it’s all because the Young Money rapper fired back.

“We know that things can get like that, but that’s not what we want for the culture, for ourselves as men. I think we learned enough from those days to be like, OK, if you’re going to challenge me as an artist, an emcee, I’ma let you know who I am.

You just gotta know what you in it for. I got in this because it’s Hip Hop. I was speaking up on the song ‘Sweet’ about, over and over we’re hearing a lot of singing. I listen to R&B, I listen to good R&B and soul music, so I’m not opposed to singing. I’ma be frank about that. But I just spoke up for the art of Hip Hop and what I feel about it, and I want everybody to know that Hip Hop is a diverse culture and it does have that boom bap to it too. Once he said something back, that’s when I said, aight, I guess you want to get in a battle with me. And if that’s what you want, then I’ll battle.”

Birdman Gives His Thoughts on The Drake/Common Beef

January 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Birdman stresses the fact that Cash Money isn’t about diss records, but says Drake has their support.

Since the feud between rappers Common and Drake began late last year members of Young Money/Cash Money have remained relatively quiet in regards to their opinions on the beef between the two artists. But during a recent interview on Los Angeles’ Power 106, Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman finally voiced his opinion on the feud.

“Drake the homie so we ride or die. Ain’t no second questions about that, but we never been a brand to make records and want to make money off of making records of other people that’s not what we about,” Birdman explained. “So to me however the young homie deal with it we behind him, we supporting him 100 percent with our life so that’s just what it is. Ain’t no other way. Drake the lil’ homie that’s blood, that’s family, and ain’t no siding with that. It’s Drake or nothing.”

Birdman went on to stress the fact that his label isn’t about diss records or the profit that comes with releasing those types of records.

“We don’t do all that. We never did that,” said Birdman. “Never was about making money off of music off of diss records. That’s not how we operate. We try to give the fans – I mean when you get caught up in that to me you forget what this about. And it’s about the people and that’s what we do. We do our music for the people. We never been a brand to diss and diss records and try to make money that’s not us. But Drake the homie and we support him fully and whatever he ‘bout we ‘bout. However that turns out that’s just what it is.”

The beef between Common and Drake, which seemed close to being finished, was reawakened this week thanks to the release of Common’s “Stay Schemin Remix.”

Common Fires Shots at Drake Again on Stay Schemin’ Remix

January 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Weeks after Common started a feud with Drake with some vaguely antagonistic lyrics on “Sweet,” a track off his album “The Dreamer/The Believer,” Common attacks the Canadian superstar head-on in a new remix to “Stay Schemin’,” a Rick Ross track that features Drake.

On “Stay Schemin’,” a track off the Ross mixtape “Rich Forever” released last Friday (Jan. 7), Drake alludes to Common’s recent verbal attacks with the words, “Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothin’/It’s feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged/Back when if a n—a reached, it was for the weapon/Nowadays n—as reach just to sell their record.” Common then fired back with an explicit diss of Drake on his own remix of “Stay Schemin,” which was released on Monday (Jan. 9)

“My motto is Chicago bitch/ Everybody know you sweet, what the problem is/ Don’t play dumb, I’m the one that acknowledged it/ Son of a bitch, imagine what your father is,” Common raps on the remix. Later, Common rhymes, “I’m taking too long with this amateur guy/You ain’t wet nobody, n—a, you Canada dry,” and then he eventually calls the rapper out by name: “Soft n—a, make no mistake, I’m talking to Drake. It’s the remix. Rick Ross, Common, and that hoe ass n—a.”

The war of words began with Common’s track “Sweet,” in which he declares, “Y’all n—as man, you soft motherfuckas… Singing all around me man, ‘la la la!’ You ain’t motherfuckin’ Frank Sinatra. Uh. Lil’ bitch.” Drake then told the crowd at a California performance, “I don’t give a fuck if you got something to say to me. Say it to my motherfuckin’ face, n—a. Just cause I sing I’m not no bitch. So if you got something to say, I’m right here.”

Which rapper has the upper hand here?
