Pitbull Says "F**k TVT" But Still Releases New Album

2007-10-05T17:00:55Z

Nothing has been said about Pit’s “fuck TVT” diss song. The label is probably gonna ignore it and view it as their artist just venting frustration. Just don’t f**k this album up…then you’ll really lose an underrated artist. Below is the album cover for The Boatlift due out Nov. 23.

]]> It’s very Miami with the water background, the two Latinas, and Pit’s taco meat blowing in the wind in all its hairy glory (pause). It features Jim Jones, Twista, Don Omar, Lil Jon, among others. Let’s see what this one does.

Jim Jones Doesn't Go G-Unit, Signs With Rick Rubin's Sony

2007-10-05T14:00:01Z

So hip-hop’s token Asian chick (Miss Info) got a big ass scoop yesterday. The Capo has officially left the graveyard and bounced to the majors via Sony. Jim Jones just signed a multimillion dollar deal with Sony.

“My boss is Rick Rubin and Hip Hop (Kyambo Joshua) is doing my albums with me. What you think Jay-Z is gonna think about that?,” he told her.

]]> JJ just loves getting at Jay and what better way to get at him then to work with his people. Jay prolly doesn’t care but it’s good for entertainment. Apparently his new album is set to drop in 2008 with a Rubin-produced song in tow. Alas JJ has found someone who looks as dirty as he does in Rick.

“What’s crazy is that they gave me the same deal that Un and them f**ked up back in the day when they got the Sony/Untertainment deal,” he told her. “I got that joint venture, that 50/50 split, they don’t give those out anymore. That’s a Dame Dash, Ruff Ryders deal. And I’m bout to go crazy with it. I’m gonna be a problem.”

The one thing that relieves me is that JJ didn’t go G-Unit. At least the move to Sony gives a glimmer of hope that DipSet won’t die. To be continued…

Part 2: I Went To A Reggaeton Concert Last Night And All I Remember Is "F**k Bush"

2007-10-04T17:00:46Z

The last act before I bolted with Mrs. Goya was the one I had never seen and most anticipated: Calle 13. But between Tego and Calle there was an insanely long ass interlude. Calle 13 finally got on. Residente voiced his frustration with the crew in hand. Apparently, because so much time was wasted Calle’s performance time was cut.

]]> He was visibly pissed. Regardless he went on to perform “Pal Norte,” “Tango Del Pecado,” but no “Atrevete-Te-Te-Te.” Oh and another thing he had “F**k Bush” with a drawn middle finger on his back. Still with their immigration song, his political POV on his back most of the crowd was sitting on they asses. Not interested in what duke was sayin. WTF? I’m all for having some ass shaken in my face but I also need some substance with my music. By then my feet were tired so I bounced along with the other 10 cats with jobs so we missed Rakim y Ken-Y and Daddy Yankee. Here’s just a tip: open ya mind. It’ll add more than subtract.

PS: Shouts to Gina Torres for the tix and CC for talking to Goya while waiting for the tix.

Part 1: Tego Calderon Brings Congas, Pro-Black Images To La Kalle

2007-10-04T14:00:03Z

Arriving at NYC’s La Kalle’s Third and allegedly last Block Party I was greeted by a lot of hoochies and lots of a**holes (guys with sunglasses inside). But hey it’s an urban event so it’s expected. The story here is that the concert itself was decent. Nothing to rave about but nothing to ish on. Just blah.

]]> Ivy Queen, who had one of best performances of the night and had a glam rock wig on, started the show. She went through hits (“Te He Querido, Te He Llorado”) and freestyled (“My name is not J. Lo/ It’s Ivy Queen, la riena del reggaeton”). Then came Jowell y Randy (1/2 of Casa de Leones), who went through some songs but everyone was just waiting for one “No Te Veo.” They also made some humping motions which got like two girls wet. Then the Latin rap god MC, Tego Calderon, pulled an alleged “oh my plane got stuck in PR” trick. But it was obvious the Afro-Puerto Rock was in the building. His performance was the best received. He performed with a live band (congas included), African-style dancer, with pro-Black images on screen. Great Tego ish.

Goya Flavored Wednesdays

2007-10-03T14:00:32Z

Goya spills the beans on . . .

Doz Dudes:
Wisin y Yandel are back with Los Extraterrestres to drop on Nov. 6. Expect more chart-topping hits and more reggaeton anthems for this dynamic duo. Their new single is called “Sexy Movimiento” and check out the pair discussing their new LP here: wisinyandelpr.com. Where’s “Rakata” Part 2! Holla with that ish.

]]> Hump Day Hottie:
Like you needed another reason to heart Shakira? La colombiana donated $45 million to both Peru and Nicaragua, countries which were devastated by recent natural disasters. The money will in part come from the Latin America for Solidarity Foundation (ALAS), a philanthropic organization Shak co-founded legendary author Gabriel Garcia Marquez. If that wasn’t enough she donated another $5 million towards health and education in four Latin American countries. If only all our big stars had big hearts like this chick. Nuff respect.

HDH Extra:
For those who don’t know Noelia, she’s a Puerto Rican pop singer who has recently made her on-screen debut (via a sex tape). Being that this is a PG-13 site we can’t show the video here but we can tell you France’s version of Maxim named her the hottest chick in the world, or something like that. Check her out for yourselves.

Ritmos:
So Termanology’s homeboy/DJ Statik Selektah is gonna drop a full-length album, Spell My Name Right, according to xxlmag.com. The white boy’s got love for Latino rappers…pause. Below are the tracks SOHH Latino cares about. It’s out on Nov. 6.

“Intro” f/ DJ Premier & Termanology; “Stop, Look, Listen” f/ Styles, Termanology, Q-Tip; “Express Yourself 08″ f/ Termanology, Talib Kweli, Consequence; “6 In The Morning” f/ Joell Ortiz, Kool G Rap, Sheek Louch; “Bam Bam” f/ Red Cafe, Termanology, Mims; “G Shit (Showoff Mix)” f/ Uncle Murder, Sev-one, Termanology, Jadakiss; “Hardcore (So You Wanna Be)” f/ Reks, Termanology; “No Mistakes Allowed” f/ Doug E. Fresh, Tony Touch, Scram Jones, DP-One, DJ GI-Joe, DJ Revolution, Esoteric; “No Holding Back” f/ Cormega, AZ; “It’s Over Now” f/ Termanology, AG.

Flick U:
From producer Jenny Lo, Feel The Noise. Hey ain’t that Victor Rasuk from Raising Victor Vargas? Where’s Juicy Judy?

WTF?:
If you missed this funny clip from the always hilarious Daily Show, here it is. Jon Stewart interviews Bolivian prez Evo Morales, you know one of those dudes Bush wants you to hate. At least at of all of them (we see you Hugo) Evo is the only one who hasn’t been suspected of killing anyone.

Props:
MTV rarely does anything right so I give props when they do. MTV along with the Knight Foundation have launched the Young Creators’ Awards. It’s a way to push journalism in this new era of online media. They’re looking for kids (specifically targeting Latinos) with ideas that are “digital, innovative, news-related, timely, community-building and geographically-specific.” The one who does the best job gets $500,000. For more info go to Young Creators’ Award.

Daddy Yankee's Got That ''Cane," Tego, Ivy, Calle 13 Rock The Block

2007-10-02T17:00:57Z

If you saw CBS’ Cane last week you know two things: a) the actress that plays Jimmy Smits wife just had her Quinceñera last year and b) they are going to milk some Latino stereotypes like falling for white girls (it’s just a phase), we all like to f**k, drink rum and smoke some cigars.

]]> So it comes to no surprise that reggaeton will be a part of the mix. Daddy Yankee will make a performing appearance on tonight’s second episode. He’ll be performing at the Duque Nightclub on the show. But seriously, this Cane show might be the biggest TV show to ever happen for Latinos. So support it. It seems like they planted some good seeds in the debut, all it needs is darker Latinos. We ain’t all light-skinned. Check DY on Cane tonight on CBS at 10PM (Eastern).

PS: Tomorrow in NYC La Kalle will be throwing their Third Annual Block Party at Madison Square Garden. It’ll be jam-packed with every mofo and they mama (El Cangri, Tego, Ivy Queen, Calle 13, Rakim y Ken-Y, among others). Tickets are available at(212) 307-7171 or at thegarden.com.

Tito El Bambino Needs Common's Style

2007-10-02T14:00:17Z

Yes, his press shots or album cover don’t paint the prettiest pic of Tito El Bambino but hey we’re here to judge his music and clown on him if we must. The music is dope and that’s why his new album It’s My Time, has the SL Stamp of approval. It’s out today and below is a little video EMI put together to promote. PS: Tito maybe khufis are the way to go; you get to tuck in your ears and you get them fine-ass incense burning chicks (Common will tell ya).

Lumidee Brings Shaggy Back From The Grave

2007-10-01T18:01:13Z

You know you’re in a bad shape when Lumidee has to bring you back. The Puerto Rican songstress featured Shaggy (Sean Paul is too expensive right now) on her new song “Feel Like Making Love.” Ehh kind of song but the story here is that Lumi is lookin’ kinda ripe…I said kinda.

Calle 13 Run For The Border

2007-09-28T15:22:10Z

Check the new video for Calle 13’s “Pal Norte.” It’s quirky and at times weird but hey it’s Calle 13. Regardless it’s a 100 times better than the clip for “La Cumbia de los Aburridos.” “Me voy pal norte sin pasaporte, sin transporte.” Palabra!

Redman Co-Signed MC Puts Some Elbow Grease Into It

2007-09-27T17:00:02Z

Apparently G. Luger has been grinding for a minute. My boy HD hipped me to him and I gotta say he’s type fuego. Too many talented Latino MCs coming up right bout now it’s hard to keep up. Anywho Luger was discovered by Redman and Rockwilder but a debut album never formulated.

]]> Never fret because today is the age of grind your ass off not “please Mr. Signed MC put me on.” Luger got his ish together, getting press in quite a few places and now has this music video for his song “Oh No” (see below or on SOHH’s frontpage). Take a listen and become a believer. Oh the Brooklyn cat does some reggaeton if need be.

Pitbull, "F**k TVT [Records]"

2007-09-27T14:00:24Z

Don’t know where this came from pero Pitbull is apparently having trouble with his label TVT. On Cubo’s myspace page, Pit lets off a few over T.I.’s “Big Things Poppin’” beat. “We got them big thangs poppin’/TVT can’t stop him . . . Hey Steve watch me do it.”

]]> Pit goes on to spit sayin’ “You can own what I rap but you can’t control what I say Fuck TVT!” One possibility might be since music sales suck right now indie labels like TVT are really suffering. Another is this right here. Whatever the case listen to the song here: myspace.com/cubo305irs and you be the judge.

So after allegedly stiffing Bolivia (see last week’s entry) Don Omar is scheduled to perform in front of a bunch of fake T&A. On Dec. 8 he’ll be performing at the Playboy Mansion (The King’s Ball). For more info go here The King’s Ball. The event will be hosted by thick ass model Pam Rodriguez…this is one concert Omar won’t stiff people. Well, maybe just the Playboy bunnies.

]]> Hump Day Hottie:
For all you science fiction geeks get ready to get ya jerk on. Dominican-American actress Zoe Saldana has signed on to join the new remake of Star Trek (due out next December). As we know anything with Zoe gets better. Shoot if she made Nick Cannon viewable in Drumline then she can make Spock seem cool too.

Props:
One of SL’s readers (shouts to Capicu) put me up on this dope sneaker artist TTK. Cap himself bought these ill Big Pun Vandals (which are pictured below). TTK charges a minimum of $200 and increases the fee with the more artwork you want; he’s done joints for Cormega, Dwele, etc. Hit’em up at gottkgo.com
or (904)-651-7537 to get ya sneaker game right.

Nore, "Saigon and Mobb Deep f***ed up our show"

2007-09-25T14:00:08Z

Nore is a wild ass mofo. The type of dude you would love to hang with but could only do so in moderation cause he hangs hard. If y’all didn’t know the Saigon/Prodigy fight occurred at SOBs where CNN were set to perform. Needless to say the fight F-ed things up. Don’t take it from Goya, take it from Nore.

]]> “The party was at SOB's and they had packed it with the crowd!!!! As I said, I hosted the event 4 all the new and up coming artist and after that I gave them a little taste 4 what I had in store for them yesterday!!!!! As I woke up n the morning I got 3 thousand calls about the Royce Da 5'9 and Mistah Fab battle!!!!! Holy shit! How can I be there and not be there. I mean, I missed that part so I had to catch it on youtube (sounding like a computer nigga). Yeah youtube!!!!! Man Mistah Fab is the truth!!!!!

The next day I woke up like the 1st day of school. I was excited and anxious to perform for New York City and as C-N-N. Yup C-N-N man! That was exciting!!!!!

Peter Rosenburg!!!! Welcome 2 New York!!!! Man me and Peter planned this event perfect, but hip-hop is hip-hop and things occur. Don't know what happen with Saigon and Mobb Deep, but I know it fucked up our show. LOL!!!!! Man I wasn't mad at either side but people came out 2 see C-N-N and although I have seen my share of party club fuck ups, but shit!!!!! WE WANTED 2 PERFORM!!!!!! I can't stand when shit fucks up!!!!!” –an excerpt from Nore’s MySpace blog.

Sounds like a wild night…but just another night in Nore’s life.
