Slick Talk, Pain & Torture
** PULLED THIS FROM NAH RIGHT **
A few hours ago, Jadakiss and the good folks from Def Jam played a bunch of cuts from his upcoming album, Kiss My Ass for a room full of DJs, a couple of bloggers and some other industry types. None of the tracks we heard were mixed or mastered, and Kiss said the material represents only about 75% of the album, so you know how that goes. I will say that he goes in on the title track, and he’s got a back-and-forth joint with Styles P that is going to melt the streets. You can bet that I’ll be harassing these guys to leak that shit for the next couple of weeks. The joint with Barrington Levy is dope, and there’s a track with the title of this post in the chorus that is sick. The slick talk is at 100 thousand trillion. The song that everybody was waiting to hear, the letter to Big, is everything you’d expect it to be. Don’t quote me, but I think Kiss is finally going to put out the album everybody always knew he had in him.
Kiss My Ass is dropping on December 9, which also happens to be the day Curtis is flopping dropping, and my birthday.
Bonus: Jadakiss Calls Jenny Boom Boom (BoBO)

Chip Tha Ripper x Kid Cudi Live @ The Evil Olive - Chicago
VIDEO: Kid Cudi & Chip Tha Ripper LIVE @ Hollywood Moon Tour - Chicago from Kevin M on Vimeo.
**Shout out to my homies Naledge (1/2 of Kidz in the Hall) & Alex @ Ruby Hornet for everything while we were in the Chi.**
As some of you may know... Chip, Duke, our homie Truth, and myself, took our travels to Chicago this past week. We had a very busy schedule while in the Chi.
We got in Sunday around 11pm, and decided to take it easy b4 Monday, day of the show. Chilled @ one of my dudes spots in Wrigleyville and blazed our selves to sleep. LoL...
The next morning we were up and shooting video footage around the city with one of Chicago's BIGGEST Hip-Hop websites, Ruby Hornet.
Escorting us around the city and giving us an OFFICIAL tour of Chicago was none other than, Naledge, one half of the super group Kidz in the Hall. The tour included stops at Sound Scape Studio's, which is a beautiful studio that Naledge records at, a lot of Kayne's new shit is being mixed and mastered there. Then, we traveled to Leaders 1354, if your not familiar with Leaders yet, they are THEE best clothing store/boutique in the Chi. Make sure to go get FRESH the next time your in the Chi @ Leader 1354. After that, we departed to Harold's Chicken, which was some good chicken... BUT, I'm not gonna lie, as much as everyone in Chicago talks about it, IT AINT GOT SHIT ON OPEN PIT in CLEVELAND!!! Shout out to Open Pit on St. Clair... Best BBQ in the world! LoL... Lastly, we ended our travel's @ some park for a "Freestyle in the Park" segment, where Chip gave Ruby Hornet some FIRRRRRE! Make sure to check Ruby Hornet RIGHT NOW for they're feature on Chip!
After a nice day with Ruby Hornet and Naledge, we picked up some mo
re "TREE" and met Kid Cudi @ sound check for the show that evening. We showed up @ the Evil Olive, and Hollywood Holt was doing his soundcheck. Holt and Chip formally met for the 1st time. **Stay Tuned for Some Music Featuring Those Two** After Holt and Mano were done with they're sound check, Cudi was up next. Usually, Cudi has Plain Pat to DJ for him, but during the Hollywood Moon Tour he had Dot Da Genius, producer of Day N' Nite, Cudi's SMASH single! This is the 1st time Chip & Cudi have performed anything together... Needless to say, everyone at sound check was going OFF when they heard "Ask About Me." Everyone from Mano to Holt to the photographers taking pictures were loving the song! Kid Cudi was fealing a little under the weather w/ a sore throat that day and even into the show... But like all great artists, he fought thru it.After sound check, we went back to the hotel with Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius, where we smoked some "TREE" and caught up with Kid Cudi and Dot. Cudi was feeling a little under the weather like I was telling you, so he was drinking warm tea to get his voice right. Then, Cudi played some of his album for us, which is slated to be released in SPRING of 2009. He also played some of Kayne's album for us, which he is currently writing hooks for and should be featured on at least 2 songs on "808s & Heartbreaks." ALSOOOOO... he was telling us he should be featured on Jay-Z's new album. So Cudi on his GRIND something SERIOUS right now! Shout out to Dot Da Genius too, should be some Dot and Chip songs coming to a LIFE near you soon!
Arriving at the Evil Olive, with a nice crowd of people outside. Walking inside to a crrrrazzzzy crowd of people!! We posted up in the VIP for a little bit then moved to the upstairs part of the club where we posted during Cudi and Holt's performance.

Naledge, Kid Cudi, Hollywood Holt, Million Dolla Mano, Mic Terror, Dot Da Genius, Willy Joy, Alex @ Ruby Hornet, Andrew @ Fake Shore Drive, Leaders 1354, PHLIE, Harold's Chicken, & ALL OF CHI TOWN!

Mick, Dan, & 6th speak on the Honor Roll
Stole this from Mick Boogie over at Press Play > Fashion Forward.
**Chip is featured on a tribute to Slick Rick track.**
MIXTAPE AVAILABLE FREE 4 DOWNLOAD 2NIGHT @ Press Play > Fashion Forward.
This year’s VH1 Hip-Hop Honors show has taken on a whole life of its own.
Building from the momentum of previous years, the show & the channel are proving to be accurate to the essence of Hip-Hop music & culture. Digging deeper into the history each year, they’ve managed to recognize artists whose catalogs were not sacrificed for the sake of fame or critical acclaim. By choosing respectable artists, VH1 has garnered the attention & praise of fans across the map.
And some of those fans included a new crop of MCs, DJs and producers.
Which brings us to the topic at hand: Mick Boogie’s The Honor Roll. A musical mashup, the endeavor is a well engineered project featuring music from the catalogs of this year’s honorees, covered by a new generation of emcees & producers.
For more of the back story on how the project came together, The Crew’s Gotty™ got up with Mick Boogie, impresario Dan Solomito & Notherground’s 6th Sense for an impromptu Q&A about what all went into the making of The Honor Roll.

RH First Look: Chip Tha Ripper
** CLICK HERE AND READ THE FEATURE ON RUBY HORNET **
"We're young & running s**t ya dig?" says Cleveland's Chip Tha Ripper, some of your favorite upcoming emcee's favorite upcoming emcee. After spending a day with Chip and his S.L.A.B. crew it's easy to see why. Chip's music, style, and dialect creates a steady diet of 'what...that s**t's crazy...', and with an upcoming project with Hi-Tek in the works, it doesn't look like that is going to stop anytime soon. Chip first hit our speakers via Kidz In The Hall's last LP, and we've been tuned in since. In this week's RH First Look, we get to know Chip Tha Ripper a little bit better. Check it out below.
RubyHornet: What was your introduction to music like? Was there an 'aha' moment when creating music started to make sense?
Chip Tha Ripper: My introduction to music was when i first heard/saw "The Fresh Prince of Bell Air". I had never heard rap before that day. I was like 5 or 6. Making music came easy because there are no rules.
RubyHornet: Please tell our readers where the name 'Chip Tha Ripper' comes from.
Chip Tha Ripper: I got my name from a spitboxing (battle rap) host. At the time I was just Chip. After a while they just started calling me Chip Tha Ripper. I hated it at first, but I guess it grew on me.
RubyHornet: Musically, the Midwest is known to pull influences from the coasts to produce their own flavor. What do you pull from to create your music?
Chip Tha Ripper: Well, I just pull from the ol'brain. I never really kept track of the music pattern in Cleveland. I always knew I was a different type of n***a, so I just put some swag with it!
RubyHornet: Your mixtape is called Can't Stop Me. Explain why you are feeling that way right about now.
Chip Tha Ripper: There has been a lot against me, despite all the good that has come so far. I'm a living testimony in my city. Can't Stop Me is a title of hope to all underdogs everywhere. It means there's nothing you can do to ruin what I'm doing.
RubyHornet: If Naledge is flyer than giraffe pussy, Chip Tha Ripper is flyer than...
Chip Tha Ripper: LoL... flyer than PF
RubyHornet: You came through Chicago last week, and I know this was your first time in the Chi in about a year. What has the growth in your career been like over that last year? How did the two trips compare?
Chip The Ripper: Yea, had to swing bak to tha go Ill. The first time I was there it was like the first day of school or something. Ya know when in Rome...It was a great experience. I got to see a lot of the music scene the first time i came to the Chi. But this last time was crazy. Sound check at Kid Cudi & Hollywood Holt's show was crazy. I learned a lot about the lingo out here. It ain't too different though. Mano had these Reeboks from Europe..crazy! That show was off the hook.
RubyHornet: On "Neva Nervous" you say we've never heard someone from Cleveland like you. Please tell our readers what's happening in Cleveland's Hip Hop scene. Set it straight for those that think Cleveland Hip Hop starts and ends with Bone.
Chip Tha Ripper: ATTTENTION For all readers who think Cleveland starts and ends with Bone, google the following: "Chip tha Ripper" "Ray Cash" "Young Ray" "Paper Chace" "Kid Cudi" "Bitch I'm From Cleveland".
RubyHornet: You're on "Next Up" with Naledge, Mic Terror, Mickey Factz. Do you feel like you are a part of growing movement of young artists? And if so, what is it that is the common link, cause you guys are spread out around the country.
Chip Tha Ripper: Yea, that "Next Up" is stupid! Naledge, Mic Terror & Mickey Factz really looked out for me by being a part of this mixtape. I feel that we are the new generation of music along with many other artists. I think we are the most important generation because you get to watch us evolve right in front of your eyes. We're young & running s**t ya dig? It's up to us to get Hip Hop back in order, so I'm gonna rep this new Cleveland s**t, and spread this good music as far as I can!
RubyHornet: What does the rest of '08 and the top of '09 have in store for Chip Tha Ripper?
Chip Tha Ripper: Lord willing, some TV airtime and mo dollaz! Hi-Tek and myself are working on an album right now, so hopefully that will have a great response. I just got a nice litte sponsorship with DC Shoes, as well as a clothing company called Gold Coin. Hopefully I can get more peolpe hip to Chip and tha Land.
RubyHornet: For some of our readers, this will be their first introduction to you. What are three things you'd like people to know about you when listening to
your music?
Chip Tha Ripper: 1. Yea take dat take dat take dat..(p.diddy)lol...2. I know you like this s**t n***a lol...3. Can't Stop Me!
