Rick Ross Signs Wale To Maybach Music - Gives Him Chain & $44,00 Watch (VIDEO)

This Super Bowl weekend rapper Wale walked away with a $44,000 Cartier watch and a new Maybach medallion because Rick Ross just signed him to his Maybach Music Record Label.

Wale explains why Rick Ross will allow him to release the kind of singles that Allido/Interscope wouldn't, as the Boss gives his new artist a gift for the wrist.

Speaking about the creative freedoms being associated with the boutique label will allow him.

"Being at a 'major label' - 'cause there's no such thing as a major label...and saying I want to put out [songs with substance], instead of having somebody say, 'Nah, black people ain't gonna believe that. That's not what they want from you,' I can be like, 'Rozay, my heart is in this record right now.' [He will respond with] 'Let's do it.'"

Rick Ross Caught Creepin' w/ 50 Cents' Ex? (VIDEO)

Rick Ross was outside of Mr. Chow with actress, Elise Neal, who dated 50 Cent a few years ago. Is Ricky trying to get some revenge on 50?? Check out the footage:

(Here they go again back in December of last year)

In 2007 Elise confirmed her and 50 Cent's romance. She said 50 asked her to play his love interest in his Follow My Lead video, and the two became low-key lovers in real life.

And although the couple is now "just cool", actress Neal insists 50 will always hold a very special place in her heart.

She says,

"Right now we're really just cool, but it would be the understatement of the year for me to say it was always just that. We're friends enough to where he knows that if we're doing something I'm not gonna go run and tell Us Weekly. That's not my personality."

Sounds like her and 50 Cent were pretty serious....how in the world did she end up with his archenemy?

Kanye West ‘Fantasy’ Review…sort of

Kanye West

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

 

I try not to read reviews until I see (movies) or hear (music) the work. I never want some reviewer to skewer my experience and I don’t want to subconsciously repeat what they say. In this age of the Internet, it is impossible to not read blurbs and a blurb I read about this album was that to forget the many singles Kanye has released over the summer this album should be listened to as a whole and I totally agree.

 
For the record Kanye initiated the free music program G.O.O.D. Fridays through his website on August 20, 2010, offering a free download of previously unreleased songs each Friday of the week, a portion of which were included on the album. Some of the songs on this album aren’t singles that you would play on the radio or in the club, but as a whole the album succeeds…in fact it’s a masterpiece.

I will say that Kanye West has always been an amazing producer and adequate rapper. For some people being a MC has to evolve and Kanye has evolved…as an MC. Kanye spits some of the best rhymes of his career on this album and I am going so far as to say that his rhymes and flow on ‘Monster’ are not only better than hip hop heavy hitters Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and the most incredible Jay-Z, but the best of his whole career. On this song Kanye is a beast…or “Monster” as it were.

When I review an album I usually list track for track what’s HOT, but I’m not…I can’t for this album. Even for the tracks that I don't think is super hot, work with the complete piece. I usually also list who produced what of the hot tracks and again that’s futile. Below is a link where you can see for yourself who produced and appeared on these amazing tracks.

Rick Ross Finally Speaks On Ditching Chrisette Michele At Soul Train Awards For Not Winning! Chrisette Goes Off! (VIDEO)

We've been meaning to put this story up for you guys...

The word was Rick Ross ditched R&B singer Chrisette Michele at the recent Soul Trains Awards. They were supposed to perform and Chrisette said Ross just left the building without letting her know and she still hasn't spoke to him! Chrisette says she heard Ross left because he did not win the “Best Hip Hop Song,” which went to Eminem.

Check her out on New York's Power 105.1 talking about it...

She then took to her blog to express her disappointment in Hip Hop:

If this is the way hip hop is then I denounce it.
This is not about ego. This is about what I can bring to the world. My life is for the people. I live to give.

It’s my desire to bring life and freedom light and love everywhere I go. Upward mobility in the brown skinned community.
Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win? An award is winning at being as “stuck in a category” as possible. Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else.

I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool. Don’t LET me start rapping.

They say…I’m ecclectic. I’m underrated. I’m different. Well If I win an award it’s because I paved a way. Every award I’ve won was new in it’s category. You know why? Because I’m amazing at being my damn self.

Grammy – best alternative R&B song Centric award – Soul Approved Etc
Have u even heard of those categories? Nope. But guess what? You ain’t never seen another me. And u never will. No ego here. Why? Because it’s none needed. My award is waking up every morning and CAKING off of what I believe in by the grace of God.

Maybe I’ll call my 4th album “winners : just like every body else” maybe not.
I pray with every song I sing Im singing from the bottom of my heart. If all we want is an award for telling our truths, then we really have no true reason. This isn’t a competition. This is a stage for self expression and I’m grateful for the opportunity to live on it. I’d sing even if nobody sang along.

-from the bottom of my disappointed heart. Hip Hop… Man up. I wanted to be supportive but I can’t understand you. I believed in you… But apparently you’re so high you can’t even see what the world needs

Is all hip hop like that? Absolutely not! But some of it certainly is. Let me spit a few bars. I’m not that kinda hip hop. I rep hip hop too. But not that kinda ego trippin foolery. Chrisette Michele – the girl on that Aston Martin Music record…

Until now Rick Ross has not actually responded on the situation. In the new issue of The Source magazine, Rick Ross talks about the allegations that he left the Soul Train awards because he was mad Eminem won over him.

The word coming from the show was they you were upset Eminem beat you in the Song Of the Year category and you stormed out.

Not at all. I’ve been going to award shows for a long time and I’ve never had a problem with who won. I’m happy I’m recognized. We were in the trailer, going over these particular [performance] issues [with the sows producer]. Out of respect, we came back out there to give them a reaction to the nomination. They gave the award to Eminem. I applauded. Big Record. That wasn’t the issue. Like I said, the things we requested weren’t met. It had nothing to do with Chrisette Michele. It may have had to do with me not knowing the other 50 people that were onstage at [rehearsal] and we doing my record.

Have you talked to Chrisette?

I haven’t spoken to Chrisette Michele or her team. but I didn’t speak to her to [invite her to] the show either. It was something maybe the label set up. [But] her choice of words were ugly. Denouncing Hip-Hop, that ain’t cool. Using ugly words could give off the wrong impression. That could make your hat look ugly to me now. That could make your haircut look ugly to me now. Hopefully if we win a Grammy, she’ll come out and accept it withy our boy. Give me a kiss on the cheek.
