The internet is going nuts over Cassie’s new joint f. Nicki Minaj titled “F*ck You Silly” but the track doesn’t really do anything for me. I’m more concerned with why women hate on Cassie and why God made her so darn beautiful. In an interview w/ DJ Booth she explains how being pretty is so hard, and what exactly it means to be an Official girl and more.

Cassie On Being Cuter Than The Rest Of The World: “I think.. I would never go out there and say, “I’m oh-so-good looking, and that’s why people give me a hard time,” but I think for anybody that is attractive it can be harder sometimes. I don’t necessarily think that’s my situation; I think I’ve been in the music industry and in the entertainment industry long enough for people to, maybe not see past it, but just give me that second chance. I wouldn’t be working on this second album without them giving me that.

Cassie On Chilling: “Wow, I haven’t really had spare time in a long time, but I hang out with my girlfriends, go out, get dinner, sit at home watching movies – I’m a homebody, really.”

Cassie On Why Women Need Titles: “I don’t know if it’s necessarily a title – that’s definitely a translation of “Official Girl,” for some women out there – but it’s about being the only one. I think that’s more or less where I was going with the video, and the song, saying that I won’t play side-girl, I won’t play second girl.”

A while back I wrote that women should only curse during sex. Its funny because a woman who curses could be a complete turn off or an absolute turn off. I mean check out this classic interview of Nicki Minaj.

D-Block talks new album “No Security”, the state of Hip-hop, the Internet, and more.

DRAKE INTERVIEW – LIVE FROM HYDE PARK, LONDON [PART2] from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.

If you caught the first interview you were probably looking forward to part two. Semtex has some of the best interviews, he asks all the questions I’d like to know the answers to and Drake doesn’t give half assed answers either which makes for an interesting interview.

DRAKE INTERVIEW – LIVE FROM HYDE PARK, LONDON [PART 1] from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.

Drake was supposed to pass through my show last Friday, but he canceled at the last minute due to a studio session that was running late……..with Rihanna.

I hooked up with him the following day, instead of doing the usual studio interview, we hit Hyde Park, which is London’s equivalent of Central Park.

Drake breaks down:

*The Rihanna situation.
*Working with Kanye West
*Working with Chase & Status
*The forth-coming album and releasing it independently.

…..and more.

Drake has so much buzz right now, and he has so many haters. I understand people not liking an artist for whatever reason but I would like someone to have some basis for the hate.
So if you DONT like Drake, why not? and if you do, why do you like him?

While reading the articles in an old issue of Playboy from 03′ I came across a very interesting article with Jay-Z talking about his relationship with Beyonce’. He even goes as far to say he would pick Memphis Bleek over Beyonce’.

PLAYBOY: Something else that’s new on Blueprint 2—your mistrust of women has softened.
JAY-Z: Right. People already know my paranoia about women. Before I was a rapper who didn’t know who his friends were, I was a hustler who didn’t know who his friends were. When it’s a song about women, it’s usually the single, which makes people say, This guy is dissing women on every fucking record. [Laughs] Big Pimpin’, Can I Get a Fuck You, those are the hits. But the slower ones are usually more meaningful and serious.

PLAYBOY: Do you think women are less trustworthy than men?
JAY-Z: No. But guys don’t want to date me for my money, so I don’t have to worry about them.

PLAYBOY: If you’re going to have kids, you have to get over that paranoia.
JAY-Z: Yeah. I’m learning, I’m growing. I’m growing slow.

PLAYBOY: You tell a story in This Can’t Be Life, that you were almost a father. True story?
JAY-Z: Yeah. The girl I was seeing about four years ago had a miscarriage. But I wasn’t sad. I didn’t even grieve. Maybe it happened because I wasn’t ready to be a dad.

PLAYBOY: And now you’re dating a woman who doesn’t need your money, either.
JAY-Z: Is that right?

PLAYBOY: How did you meet Beyoncé Knowles?
JAY-Z: I used to see her all the time. [Quickly] We’re not engaged or anything, by the way. We’re just cool. We’re just friends. We don’t really, ah, know each other like that yet.

PLAYBOY: Just friends, like the way you and Memphis Bleek are just friends?
JAY-Z: No, Beyoncé’s a woman. A very attractive woman. But we’re friends for now. Me and Bleek, we’re tighter. I took him from the projects—I’m from 5C, he’s from 3C. He’s been with me since 1994. Between Beyoncé and him? Beyonce’s got to go [Laughs].

PLAYBOY: Do you wish that she was your girlfriend?
JAY-Z: She’s beautiful. Who wouldn’t wish she was their girlfriend? Maybe one day [smiles].

PLAYBOY: We’re not quite convinced. We know you like to keep parts of your life private. If she were your girlfriend, would you tell us?
JAY-Z: Probably not.

PLAYBOY: Well, you’re pretty cool—hard to read at times.
JAY-Z: Thank you, brother. [Raises a glass of Cristal] Toast to that.

PLAYBOY: Does that create problems in relationships?
JAY-Z: Yeah, it could. I’m not the most I-love-you guy. That’s one of my problems. “What, you want me to tell you? Those are just words—everyone is going to tell you. Look at what I do.” I have to change that.

PLAYBOY: How are you going to change that?
JAY-Z: I know it. That’s half the battle.

PLAYBOY: But only half.
JAY-Z: But half! Shit. It was zero before—be happy.

PLAYBOY: If we were going to play amateur psychiatrist—
JAY-Z: That’s what this feels like.

PLAYBOY: Here’s what we would say: As a kid, you loved your dad. But he left and you felt rejected, and that hurt so much, you don’t want to love anyone else the same way.
JAY-Z: Definitely. That could be 100 percent true. There’s no worse pain. That’s why a lot of things didn’t affect me growing up.

Now if you take that with what Beyonce just said… I smell a baby on the way sometime real soon.
