DRAKE: STUNTIN’ WITH HIS DADDY!

For the record...Memphis BEEN on Drake. Check out this article about Drake kickin' it with his father Dennis Graham who was a drummer who worked with Jerry Lee Lewis.

Drake is also the nephew of musicians Larry Graham and Teenie Hodges.

So, yeah...Canadians got swagger but please believe that Memphis is/continues to be the basis of this man's natural talent.

And when I say Daddy, I don’t mean Birdman! LOL! Seriously, Drake is some kind of regular dude or something. I am being told that he was visiting family in Memphis recently. What? A star that visits his family? Unheard of!

Anyway one of my readers got to kick it wit Drake last night while he was there in Memphis visiting family. My reader (not saying his name so I don’t blow up the spot) says Drake was a real cool and humble. He said the whole family kicked it at Wet Willies downtown on Beale Street where Drake joined them all in a quick karaoke rendition. He and his father also did a rendition together.

After kicking in Wet Willies for a few hours they headed to the strip club, “Platinum Rose” for a “night cap.” Memphis loves Drake now. That’s very cool.

Crumwell-Seven Summers

Yes. Yes. Yes!!!!


Seven Summers by Crumwell (formerly Crummy) is finally here! But, you have to understand....this is a project I have never heard ANY producer do EVER.

I really do mean EVER.

This instrumental project samples ONE SONG 15 different ways mane. Now, you don't go out and bite my mans Crummy's idea, kids. Lol.

But, yes...the track he used (which escapes my mind)...has been flipped and re-flipped and re-flipped again. I'm talking straight up different sounding tracks that has mood and movement all in one.

He is a genius in that respect and he is one of the more mysterious producers in my click. But, the mystery is his genius and the thought process behind each track. He took almost 5 years to release this project so it is definitely something that he took time on and thought out well before he released it.

Check out Crumwell's press release on Seven Summers:

"Crumwell’s long-awaited Seven Summers project is here. The limited edition, innovative project consists of 15+ tracks produced from a single song. Unlike anything you have heard before, each track triggers a certain emotion and story. What started as just one song, ended up expanding to a monumental and innovative project. Features a track by Daialogue."

See, that L'Daialogue feature that sets it off mane. Cop this project imejaly (immediately)!!!!

The 5 Things That Will Determine Young Money Entertainment's Success In The Future (OVAGROUND EXCLUSIVE)

Young Moolah, ba-by!

Lil' Wayne's Young Money Entertainment, is the rap game hottest boutique labels since No Limit Records in the late 90's.

Boasting a roster of rappers such as Drake, Jae Millz, Gudda Gudda, Tyga Nicki Manaj and Mack Maine, you kind of want to see what the label is actually working with.

Especially after blazing the charts with the summer smash "Every Girl", Toronto newcomer crooner/emcee Drake's "Best I Ever Had" and the DJ Drama-assisted "Dedication 3" mixtape featuring the whole Young Money roster, the upcoming Young Money Compliation is anticipated more than ever. Thaovaground.blogspot.com has gathered a list of 5 things that CAN and most likely will be analyzed as factors that WILL determine the future of Young Money:

(1.) Can Lil' Wayne come with another LP with the impact of The Carter 3?

Now we can ALL agree that Lil' Wayne's Carter 3 LP had 2008 on lock. Minus DJ Chuck T's deliberate leak of the album, it went on to sell over 1 million copies in the first week of release.

But, that was 2008 and it's 2009. Wayne's most recent project, the rock/rap influenced Rebirth had a release date but then it got its wig pushed back by the label. The Wayne we saw last year is not the same Wayne this year.

The only big look he has had was with his Young Money compadres on "Every Girl"which is a good thing if you think about it.

Young Money Entertainment NEEDS his fuel to keep the lights on in the house that Wayne has built. Just as Master P did before, Wayne has to be the figurehead to keep the attention on his label.

(2.) Drake's first album "Thank Me Later" must drop THIS year.

Toronto native Drake has single-handedly been this year what Wayne was last year. The big difference is: Drake doesn't even have an album out.

Starting the year with his mixtape "So Far Gone", he has taken the rap world by surprise. And he's (in his word's) on an independent imprint, Aspire Music Group along with Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money/Universal Records.

Young Money NEEDS his album to solidify that the label can actually boast a major artist release similiar to T.I's Grand Hustle imprint.

Young Dro's "Shoulder Lean" buzz is definitely not equal to Drake's but at least he got an album out. Drake plans on re-releasing "So Far Gone" with a slimmed-down tracklisting to prep for "Thank You Later". Let's see if Drake can get at least a major label look, please.

(3.) Who are the rest of the people in Young Money Entertainment?

This is the real burning question. Who is on the rest of the roster?

Wikipedia states that the current roster (sans Omarion's recent departure) is as follows: Lil' Wayne, Drake, Gudda, Jae Millz, Lil Chuckee, Lil Twist, Mack Maine, Nicki Minaj, Shanell, T-Streets, Tyga and newcomer Bow Wow.

This is great on paper but can they show up when the time is right? There is a demand for the label signees right now. Will Universal step up and ride the wave? That is up for time to tell.

(4.) Where is Mack Maine's album?

This is a pretty good question seeing that even though Wayne is the C.E.O. of the label, Mack Maine is the president of Young Money Entertainment.

Wayne's Hollygrove brethren is riding the YM wave off of features such as "Got Money" off of the Carter 3 and the infamous Miley Cyrus line on "Every Girl", he is definitely next in line along with Drake to rep the YM flag.

He had a respectable buzz-gaining mixtape entitled "This Is A Mixtape" hosted by Don Cannon earlier this year.

Can Mack Maine follow up behind the massive buzz surrounding Drake to convert that toward his own album?

(5.) Will the Universal machine step up?

Pretty much everything on this list is riding on the answer to this question.

Universal is a big company and it has its own revenue/profit growing priorities.

Lil' Wayne is STILL Lil' Wayne. Will Young Money have enough momentum to see
any release see the light of day?

These answers really are based on Mrs. Sylvia Rhone. Minus Drake's outburst on his So Far Gone mixtape ("I've always been something that these labels can't buy/especially if they trying to take a piece of my soul/and Sylvia be telling 'Tez, 'Damn, Drake fly'/and he just be like, 'silly motherfucker, I know), Sylvia is the last straw on this broom conversation.

It is really up to her who she DECIDES to let sweep. So, we shall see.

But, until then...Young Money Entertainment is still hot and waiting on that collective look that the fans want. Hopefully, they will get it soon.

THE OLDER GODS SHOULD KNOW BETTER: THE RAEKWON EDITION by L’Daialogue [OVAGROUND EXCLUSIVE]

(above picture: Raekwon confronting Joe Buddens with emcee Mickey Factz looking on)

FOREWORD: I absolutely BLAME Raekwon for any and all the drama that was started up because he is a "G" in the game. His actions are just as wrong as Joey's. And as for Rae having a camera??? What is that??? I hope Rae know that it could have went a TOTALLY different but he STILL chose to do it in lieu that he has an album (Only Built For A Cuban Linx 2) coming out. This is crazy. Respect to the legends but this needs to change for Hip-Hop sakes. And they have the nerve to talk about the South. -L'Daialogue

----------------------------------------------------------

Age is a very funny thing.

When kids are younger they want to be older to experience more things. As people finally get older and evolve into adulthood, they tend to revert into more youthful things to grasp that youthful element of their past.

It is human nature and it also clearly moves through all elements of life especially in the arts.

But out of all of the varying musical genres in the world Hip-Hop is one musical genre that age does matter.

Also being that it is a culture invented by the youth it tends to have a shorter memory span with many of its founders and other contributors to the culture.

This leads me to the incident at hand.

The “battle” within Hip-Hop I feel in the last few years have become more and more skewed as more new artists come into the fray. As many of our Hip-Hop forefathers creep upwards toward there 40’s, the word “respect” and the nature of Hip-Hop are clashing more and more.

The nature of this art form is not only beauty in the cultural aspects of breaking, deejaying, graffiti but also the poetic clashes of conflict that comes by way of emceeing that is not age-exclusive.

Hip-Hop isn’t like your average sport where people can only wish to see some of their dream battles. Imagine Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson in the ring. Kobe and Mike. That would be crazy. But, sadly age is the determinant that blocks any mentions of the matchups other that stats and legend.

Good for rappers sans the legendary D.O.C: your voice doesn’t get old or get blown out. Therefore, it is an even ground for emcees.

And amidst respect (and the case of Biggie and Pac, death) are constants that don’t pull a lot of emcees out of there respective eras.

But, an incident between Raekwon (of the Wu-Tang Clan) and Joe Buddens was the last straw.




Hip-Hop artists make music, right?

You only have one job: make dope music. That’s it.

So with that the assumption is that most “respect” (or these case “disrespect” problems) should be handled within the music, right?

If you have a beef it needs to be handled lyrically, right?

I can see this is where the crickets, pregnant pauses and deafening silence come into play.

I wouldn’t blame anybody for being weary to answer these questions just because of where the game is. You probably wouldn’t feel that you could give a true answer that could encompass where the game is right now.

I figure with the climate of the game now a lot of the newer rappers would have a certain amount of respect and admiration for the forefathers but in the back of their minds think that they could lyrically rip them to shreds.

Do you think that the early basketball players could defend the rookie-year Allen Iverson crossover dribble? No, way. But, you probably would not say that knowing that if it wasn’t for their successes that the game probably would not be where it is now.

This is where the Buddens/Raekwon beef starts and ends.

If Joey never opened his mouth he probably wouldn’t have gotten punched in his mouth.

Raekwon is a legend, no question. But, when you run into a mans dressing room with your goons with the intention of swinging on a man riding solo…where does that leave you? Or, your legacy?

As a fan, I was appalled but then I thought about if this would have happened in Memphis. Somebody would have gotten shot and this story would read very differently.

Rae should have not gotten into a conflict that never really had anything to do with him in the first place because the whole thing has a soap opera vibe to it.

Were you that upset that he talked about Method Man not needing to be on Vibe’s Top Emcees list? Come on.

When that happens, do you really want your legend to be associated with this wack, classless lapse in judgment?

Hey, age is a funny thing.

Maybe, age clouds your judgment in lieu of some emcees reaching to regain some sort of respect that they had when they were younger.

But with that being said: the older gods need to do better in this respect.

The wait is over. The next installment of my mix series is finally here. This mix takes a different turn than D.O.A. (Death of Autobots) did in the fact that this one is a bit more personal. You can tell how personal it is right out the gate.

But the independent artists have a special… vibe to them and I can relate to it. So I want you all to download this mixtape, relax with it and vibe with it. It takes you on a journey through sound. And the mixtape itself is like an iPhone and the songs are like apps.

There’s an app for everything.

L'Daialogue's "Hood" Recession Part 1 & 2

Here is another batch of audio street commentary coming from Memphis' emcee L'Daialogue DiCaprio before his MIDIMarc-helmed EP, InDAIpendent, is released in the next few weeks.

This new duo of tracks off his Bluff City Daialogue series are entitled: Hood Recession Part(s) 1 & 2.

The first (Part 1) is a smooth, 70's soulful Marvin Gaye-inspired interpretation of the current state of economic affairs from a realistic street-level perspective.

The second (Part 2) is a more raw, Wurlizer organ-inspired track continues where Part 1 left off with a deeper theory on the present economic state.

Both tracks are produced by DJ MiZUnderstatistic.

The links are below. Sit back and strategize a way to get this money, mane!

Young Jeezy Disses DJ Drama: What has happened with the DJ and the artist relationship? [OVAGROUND EXCLUSIVE]

Before you read to far into this, I want you to know I was a Gangsta Grillz fan (with an emphasis on the "was").

You couldn't tell me nothing about those infamous drops, "Dramatic", "Cannon...Cannon...Cannon" and "Trendsetter". Hands down between 2003 until the Aphilliates Music Group (consisting of DJ Drama, DJ Don Cannon, DJ Sense and DJ Jamad) got busted in 2007 on racketeering charges, they were running the game.

We all know the classics: T.I.'s "Down With The King" that effectively ethered Lil' Flip's rap career, Lil' Wayne's "Dedication" Parts 1,2,3 even back to Young Jeezy's "Trap Or Die", Drama was the man.

It could be said that for the artists above, he is the best example of a symbiotic relationship between the artist and the DJ.

As much as those artists are stars today, DJ Drama pushed whatever buzz they had before and helped make them into worldwide superstars.

But like all things: jealousy, money and loyalty are the pre-requisites for trouble in Hip-Hop. Out of the artists above, T.I. seems to be the only artist on good terms with Drama as he signed him to be the official DJ of Grand Hustle and got him a record deal on Atlantic.

Drama and Lil' Wayne has had on and off relationship from the jump. It can be argued that without the Dedication mixtapes that Wayne did with Drama, he would have never been the caliber of artist that he is today. Also, you could say that the incredible lyrical change in Wayne was documented through the 3 mixtapes that he did with Drama.


But, through various lawsuits and Wayne pre and post-Carter III commenting during Drama's Fed bust that he needs "to smarten up" and his infamous comment dissing all mixtape DJ's, their relationship continues to be on shakey ground.


Drama and Jeezy's relationship has went from bad to worst as they have not only had private animosity but now a very public rivalry.

Most people know Drama from his infamous Trap Or Die mixtape with Young Jeezy. But over time, the relationship has soured over alleged shady business dealings and ultimately loyalty.

Jeezy commented, "Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled, but he didn't want to help nobody. He just changed, period."

He continued, "Look at his crew. The same niggas ain't around him. You ain't never been in no streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He's a cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the fuckin' feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streets Iz Watchin, because they were selling and distributing them and making money."

Jeezy finally stated, "I'm not hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn't charge that nigga for [contributing a verse to the song "5000 Ones," on Drama's official Atlantic Records debut].

But then when I need [a tape for one of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I'll slap the shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn't loyal. But me putting my hands on that man ain't gonna make him respect what I'm saying. I'm just not gonna fuck with him anymore."

Now, to play devil’s advocate from a personal perspective, most of these claims can be confirmed by not only major artists but independent artists too. I could remember trying to get a Gangsta Grillz done and Drama's management charging me $6500 dollars. So, if I could get charged that price as an independent artist then that $20,000 dollar price tag doesn't really seem to off to me.

Drama responded to Jeezy's words with this statement:

"[But more importantly], his statement about me trying to charge him $20k for a mixtape is a BOLD FACE LIE. I never charged Jeezy for nothin'. I did two Slick Pulla tapes (4th Ward Day, Election Day) for free and a Bloodraw tape (The Indictment Papers) for free. Anything Jeezy ever needed from me, I did without hesitation. He doesn't want to deal with the real reason why he's mad."

"The tension between us actually started when I deejayed his USDA release party (FOR FREE) and I played a Gucci Mane record. He stormed out of his own party and didn't speak to me for about 2-3 months. Me, being a DJ, I was just rockin' the crowd and giving the people what they had been requesting. I don't get involved in that other stuff."

The aforementioned Gucci Mane beef with Jeezy played (and continues to play) a large part in the problems that Drama has with Jeezy. But, these problems can only leads to one ultimate solution.

Drama is a DJ that represents the streets and as a DJ of that caliber, you must cater to what the streets want. Jeezy may have been mad at whatever affiliation Drama may have had with Gucci Mane but you can’t let that stop business in that sense.

Jeezy may have had loyalty issues but hopefully that can be sorted out between him and Drama. But when you have CTE people clashing with Aphilliates people, that can take a problem between two men and create a real street beef (i.e. Tupac and “Biggie”).

Hopefully, Drama can regain the influence that he had just a few years ago. Amidst fed cases and other outside “drama”, he can get back to what we know him for: bringing us hot music.
