EXCLUSIVE BACKSTAGE FOOTAGE:: The Lox & French Montana take over "Fools Gold Day Off" in Brooklyn, New York!

Remy Ma, Lil Cease, Chinx, Jadakiss, Styles P, & French Montana.

by: Dana P. (E.I.C.)

On Monday Sept 1st, 2014; my assistant and I attended the "Days Off" outdoor event at 50 Kent, in WIlliamsburg Brooklyn. Two of the "big names" scheduled to perform were The Lox, and French Montana. The lineup was STACKED with underground artists, before the The Lox, French Montana and friends took the stage.

It wasn't until about 8pm that we were actually able to get in through VIP & get our backstage access. Unfortuneatly, we missed most of the artists performances, as well as many surprise appearances from none other then Remy Ma! We also missed Cam'ron & Bobby Shmurda's performances.

We were JUST in time to catch The Lox take the stage! (Note: Styles P agreed to do an interview for us after the show outside the venue, however, all exits were final, so if we left to do the interview, we wouldnt have been able to catch the rest of the show. There's always next time tho!). Styles, Jada, and Sheek took over the 50 Kent stage for nearly an hour. They did a Tupac tribute at the end of their set, then went onto do a Biggie tribute. Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s own Lil Cease was on stage for the Biggie tribute. They gave Cease a HUGE shout out, & brought him up. The crowd was giving their fellow Brooklyn native nothing but love!

French Montana took the stage next, and so did we! Chinx joined French to perform their hit, "Feelings." Bobby Shmurda also came back on stage to join French on his remix of "Hot N***a," and they tore it up for sure! These guys REALLY know how to put on a show. The crowd was SO live & the energy was just TOO real! 

I did get to meet French, but couldn't get a pic. Very nice guy. He was actually next to me for a little bit in between sets, sweating on me! Hahah! Lil Cease was on stage with us for French's set as well, singing alone to all his songs & having an awesome time! I also had an absolutely AMAZING moment on stage, as it was more then an honor to meet a living legend. I had to do a double take for a moment, just to make sure, and it was who I thought it was. Straight from Queens, Mr. Abstract himself, Q-Tip!

I was WAY too pumped to meet this guy right here! And OH how adorable he looked! We tried to get him for an interview, unfortuneatly, he was unable to. 

Overall, amazing show. Great crowd. Super live, crazy energy. An absolute incredible experience. Fools Gold really did an OUTSTANDING job putting this show together.

Remy Ma Announces Plans To Release Upcoming Mixtape 'I'm Around' In MTV Interview

Does Remy Ma ever sleep? Ever since she was released from her six-year prison stay, Remy has been grinding non-stop by slaying remixes and keeping it real in media. Recently, the raptresses sat down with MTV to share some exciting news. Remy confirmed with the network that she will be releasing her I'm Around mixtape sometime within the next week (late August/early September).

The "Conceited" rapper speaks on her experiences while in prison through the lyrics on her new mixtape.

It's kind of impossible, after being in prison for six and a half years and being home for 19 days, to not talk about what I'm going through right now. It's very hard not to bring up what I went through. In the future, I don't want to dwell on the past. I don't want to dwell on the past now, but that was a large part of my life so it has affected me in a lot of ways. It will show in my music.

Remy also briefly spoke on plans to release an album shortly after the mixtape is released; so be on the lookout for some sick ish because the ruler is back!

T.I. Talks Possibility Of His Protégé Iggy Azalea Collaborating With Both Lil' Kim & Remy Ma

Uh oh, T.I. looks to be cooking up some trouble. The rapper recently sat down with Hot 97.1 FM's Ebro in the Morning (August 8) and when asked how his rising protégé Iggy Azalea is handling all the negativity that is being thrown at her recent success, he powered in to answer the questions head on. 

After rapper Nicki Minaj's shady 2014 BET Awards acceptance speech for the 'Best Female Rapper' award, there has been much speculation that the "Anaconda" rapper has some sort of animosity towards Iggy. Although Iggy has yet to address her opinion on any beef with Nicki Minaj head on, her mentor T.I. sure did enough of it on his own during his recent Hot 97 interview.

T.I. told Ebro in the Morning: 

"I got a call from Kim. She said it's time to find that record to get done."

Nicki Minaj's long-time rival Lil' Kim holds nothing back when she's coming for the YMCMB first lady who she recently accused of "swagger-jacking" her style in her latest single "Identify Theft." The Queen Bee is very blunt in telling her fans straight up who she is looking to put back into their place; so if there is any truth of a Iggy and Lil' Kim collaboration, they're about to go in for the kill.

T.I.'s not one to usually promote drama but he definitely seems intrigued on what is to come from this situation as he schools his mentee on how to protect herself within the industry. 

"Well, in the game of chess, you must think five moves ahead, protect your pieces and cover the board."

He also briefly touched on the possibility of Iggy collaborating with Remy Ma, who was recently released from prison and immediately jumped right back into the Hip Hop game, in the near future.

Yeah, she's a fan of the sport, I believe she's gonna be eager to show support...She with the nonsense. 

With official word coming from The King of the South his self, an all out female MC war may just happen sooner than we think. Do you think Nicki Minaj is ready to eat all the fire that is about to be thrown at her?

Lil' Kim Puts Her Spin On Bobby Schmurda’s ‘Hot N*gga’ Track

After recently giving birth, rapper Lil’ Kim seems to be on the prowl! She’s returned from the creases of motherhood and now you can’t tell this little firecracker NOTHING, as she swoops back into the Hip Hop game.

The female MC was arguably the greatest thing to ever happen to her era of music from the mid 1990s, to the early 2000s. Similar to some of the greatest female Hip Hop artists of all times like Foxy Brown, Missy Elliot and Lauryn Hill, Lil’ Kim has always been known to stand her ground, whether or not it cost her her claim to fame.

With all the excitement going on in the industry today from Nicki Minaj’s latest musical releases, to Remy Ma’s prison release, we have yet to see what Lil’ Kim is really bringing to the table in this era of Hip Hop besides diss tracks, since she’s been on maternity leave.

The Queen Bee recently released two diss records targeting her rap rival, Nicki Minaj in less than a week of each other. First she remixed Beyoncè and Nicki Minaj’s “Flawless Remix” and days later, she shaded Nicki once again by accusing the YMCMB rapper of swagger-jacking her style in her new single “Identify Theft.”

In addition to the cut-throat disses she threw down on these tracks, Lil’ Kim hinted that she would soon have something in store that would leave everyone on the edge of their seats!

From the looks of it, Lil’ Kim seems to be cooking up some bars in the kitchen. She’s looking to take her flow back to her hardcore/uncut “Junior M.A.F.I.A” days; and her latest release just might do it.

Kim has been very consistent with her music releases this past week, and she just decided to add one more to her portfolio—a remix to Bobby Schmurda’s “Hot N*gga.” The “Crush On You” rapper chose to give her shady bars a break for this particular song and instead gives a couple of shoutouts; most notably to Philly rapper Meek Mill who was recently jailed back in July for a probation violation.

Listen to Kim’s flow as she gives you a "taste of a storm," that is soon to come on her new track “Hot N*gga Remix” here.

Lil' Kim Calls Out Nicki Minaj For Lack Of Originality In Her New Diss Track 'Identity Theft'

Image Credit: Lil' Kim's Twitter (@lilkim)

The Queen Bee strikes again! Lil' Kim is fresh off maternity leave and coming for the kill. Just a few days after remixing the remix of Beyoncé's "Flawless" featuring her fellow rap rival Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim held no mercy as she called Nicki out once again in her new single "Identity Theft."

Lil Kim tweeted out the diss track on August 6 along with single art and photos that seem to expose Nicki Minaj imitating the same fashion and hair styles that the rapper originally sported. In "Identity Theft," the Queen Bee accuses the first lady of YMCMB of swagger jacking her style in the Hip Hop game all while letting her know she's coming to reclaim her fame.

The rapper shows her hatred towards Miss Minaj throughout the entire track but the end of the first verse seemed to bite the most.

These swagger jackers give the game a bad look./Pop sh-t on Twitter and apologize on Facebook/And now they wanna send me requests/Telling me that I'm simply the best./I won't stop till I see my enemies rest./They probably get locked up for identity theft/ I ain't got time for bum b-tches/ The gun hidden, I come with it/ Anything you tryna do, I done did it/ I'll let you live for a while but I'm done with the crown/ The queen's back, b-tches, come get it.

Lil Kim's beef towards Nicki Minaj now seems to be at an all time high. Releasing two diss tracks towards the same person in literally the same week is not turning out to be such a good look for Kim but it's definitely getting her tons of publicity. We'll just have to wait to see if Nicki will give Kim's recent antics the time of day by releasing a diss track of her own in the coming days.

#MusicMondays: Remy Ma Teams Up With DJ Khaled For Her First Post-Prison Single — 'They Don't Love You No More (Remix)'

She's backkk! Remy Ma wasted no time getting back into the swang of things after being released from from her six year prison stay at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility on August 1. The "Wutevea" rapper raced back into the studio to lay down some bars the evening of the same day she was released to work with super-producer DJ Khaled on a remix to his hit track "They Don't Love You No More."

Remy may have been gone for a minute but now she's back and 'bout to jump off. The raptress completely dominates this track by letting everyone know she's back to reclaim her throne and she's holding no prisoners.

Remy spits this hot fire in the first verse of the track:

"When y’all was on the TV, I was with the PV’s./ I listened to your CD, damn, you really wanna be me./ Don't care if your name buzzin’, you know who the queen be./ Dello Russo, di you lasik bitches still can't see me/ These rap chicks try to stay away from me./ Maybe ‘cause I caught that case, they afraid of me./ Remy got that flow, spit it crazily/ And it’s a fact I’m everything they portray to be."

It seems to me that Remy is not going to make it easy for these female MCs anymore. It's about time this hip hop game turn up!

Check out Remy on the "They Don't Love You No More (Remix)" here.

She's BACK! Remy Ma is FINALLY a free woman, after 6 years of incarceration!

(Via the official Remy Ma Instagram; @therealremyma)

Remy was due to leave jail yesterday, but unfortunately, she was stuck in the slammer for about another week, according to recent reports. Turns out she had some issues last week, which withheld her from being released. Everything that was announced via reports all over the Internet and radio, were,"she will be out real soon." No one bothered to reach out to her family to inform them that she would be kept in there longer, as her husband Papoose, along with friends, family, and a camera crew, awaited outside the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility yesterday, for her homecoming.  

Earlier on Hot97, DJ Enuff announced that Remy Ma is in fact, a free woman as of today! 

You can find quotes from previous phone interviews she's done while in jail in my archive, one in particular is an interview she did was Angie Martinez, not too long ago. 

It's slightly disappointing to see there's no "beef" with Nicki Minaj, as I was really looking forward to seeing a TRUE hip hop queen, put a mainstream "artist," right in her place! But according to Remy, it's all love...

DJ Enuff stated that Remy called his cell phone; and I'm sure we are ALL curious to hear about some of the first things she'll be doing, now that she's on the streets of New York! So, according to Enuff, Remy was on the Saw Mill Parkway, and the first thing she wanted to do was go home, take a shower, and get her hair done.

Okay, we don't care about all that stuff. Get back behind the mic and let's see what you got Remy! Show us that you're about your business and prove to us that you're going to be "back like you never left!"

Remy Ma's Prison Release Date Delayed Due To A Disciplinary Issue

Image Credit: Remy Ma's Instagram (therealremyma)

By this time we would have thought we would be screaming "REMY'S BACK," but unfortunately our premature notions of Remy Ma's prison release have fallen through. The former first lady of Terror Squad was originally set to be released from her prison sentence early on July 31 because of good behavior but the tables shockingly turned during her last week's stay. Hot 97's chief news correspondent Miss Info took to her blog the day Remy was supposed to be released to spill the details on the retraction of the rapper's correctional facility.

Miss Info reported:

"Remy Ma was expected to walk out of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility today at 8am. She’s spent past 6 years in prison after being convicted of shooting a former friend in 2008. Her husband Papoose, managers, family members, friends, fans and camera crews stood outside for hours waiting for the 34-year old Reminisce Smith, with an assortment of fancy cars to take her home. But according to sources on the scene, around noon, prison officials came out and spoke to Papoose personally, and soon after, he and his crew left. In a strong show of restraint, Papoose was reportedly calm despite the news. While it’s unclear why her release has hit a roadblock (parole officials would only confirm to Revolt that she’s still in custody), we were told that Remy Ma spent what was supposed to be the last week of her incarceration in solitary confinement."

In addition to Miss Info's report, Diddy's rising music network REVOLT TV spoke to an official at the correctional facility who inform them that the disciplinary problem Remy was involved in occurred on July 21. This also happens to be the same date that Remy Ma phoned into Power 105.1's radio personality Angie Martinez's show for a brief chat.

"An official at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility informed REVOLT that Remy Ma was involved in a disciplinary problem on July 21.That date also happens to be the same day the Bronx-bred lyricist phoned into Power 105 personality Angie Martinez's radio show, although officials haven't confirmed if that was the reason for her delayed release, only citing "a third party call" being an issue."

Whatever the issue seems to be, we hope it gets cleared up soon. Remy is going to have to keep a low-profile until she is actually released in an effort to avoid any further delays to her freedom. In the meantime, all we can do is wait and hope for the best.

The Return of Remy Ma Upon Her Release From Six Years Behind Bars

Image Credit: Vibe Magazine (vibe.com)
These female MCs are about to be in trouble because the First Lady of Terror Squad is coming home! With a majority of female rappers conforming to the ideal and clean-cut image of mainstream Hip Hop today, it's exciting to see a woman that lyrical went against the norm from the jump getting back into the game again. After being sentenced to prison back in 2008 on two counts of assault after a shooting altercation, Remy Ma has served six of her eight year sentence and is expected to be released from prison on July 31. 
The Bronx native recently called-in to speak with Power 105's own Angie Martinez on July 21 about her plans to focus on her career upon her release, gradually maturing in prison, and her marriage to rapper Papoose while behind bars. Remy sounded joyful during the phone interview and is excited about all the projects she is about to get into which will be filmed in an upcoming reality show.
Remy told Angie Martinez:

"I grew up a lot, like I look at things differently. Looking back and looking at everything else, I was able to see a lot of things. I was really crazy. You get to see from when you're stuck in one spot and you can't just go as you please and do things as you please…it's the simple things, you can't take a shower when you want to. You can't make something to eat when you want, you can't wear your hair how you want."

In regards to Remy's music career, currently the only real competition she would have is Nicki Minaj. Seeing as how Nicki has been holding a steady spot as a female at the top of the Hip Hop charts for the past couple of years, she would definitely be one of Remy's major competitors. Instead of having animosity towards the rapper for her recent success, Remy has nothing but love for Miss Minaj and wishes more female rappers would come out of their comfort zone to take over the game as well.

"Nick has always been a supporter. I love what she's done, she's done wonderful things for females but…I just wish there was more of them . I don't know what they're doing, they're letting these guys take over."

At this point in time, it's looking like nothing but positive vibes and good times for the Grammy-nominated artist upon her release from prison. The "Conceited" rapper has some high expectations to live up to in the next couple of months but she seems to be ready to take on the fire.
It's about time somebody comes and shakes things up in this Hip Hop game! Welcome home Remy Ma! Your fans welcome you back with open arms.
