New Video: Na'tee, Brooklyn Babs, Ebony Eyez "Last of the Best"

While Nicki Minaj is the only female hip hop artist to have steam right now and record labels are doing the best they can to try to make another her (Azealia Banks, Iggy Azelea), there are 3 Female Hip Hop artists that refuse to stop spitting that raw and uncut. New Orleans own Na'tee, Brooklyn Babs and Ebony Eyez are on the grind to the come up. In this "Last of the Best" video the ladies' hunger exudes.   Each of them go hard in their very own way, killing the track. (Which is an understatement) These ladies totally annihilate each of their verses. This should open the eyes not only of listeners, but of label execs as well. Check it out:

Babbbyyy when I tell you Mona Scott-Young sure knows how to put together some DRAMA. I see why Vh-1 employs her. Love and Hip Hop's trailer looked like a soap opera/tv movie more than a reality show. Rapper Lil Scrappy and his girlfriend showcase their relationship and his infidelity. K.Michelle (a stuggling artistis obviously about to throw MUCH shade on Memphitz (Jive A&R) who first signed her. Memphitz i snow married to Toya Wright (Lil Wayne's First baby mama). Another struggling artist Rasheeda showcases her relationship with her Husband/Manager. A Producer, Stevie J and his long time girlfriend also battle infidelity and trust issues. Plus two more unfamiliar people will be on the show. Peep the Trailer.

Review: Codac's Codac Moment Concert

La and Codac
Last night New Orleans Rapper Codac (@codac504) on Twitter, held a FREE concert for all of his fans, family and fellow rap comrades at Wine Therapy. Of course, I went out to support the movement. Codac is not only a good rapper, but he works hard in and out of the studio. He is a faithful blog reader and he puts out good, quality music.

Codac Performing

Not only did Codac have a dope documentary playing beforehand, he also gave an awesome show. The performance was very well thought out and put together. With thought provoking songs as well as club bangers, Codac kept the crowd at attention. Other artists there to support were Da U Boys, DJ Jay Skillz, Blogger 11wd Nick, as well as a radio show host and other N.O. industry buffs. DJ JMK was on the one's and two's.

Nicki Minaj Speaks to Power 105 About Summer Jam

Nicki Minaj called into the opposing radio station in New York Power 105 this morning. She took a slick shot at Lil Kim. "I don't ever want to do anything to make anyone think they are more relevant than they really are." Charlamagne the God, who constantly goes back and forth with Funk Flex of Hot 97 also put his 2 cents in about Flex.



New Video: Curren$y Feat. 2 Chains "Capitol"

Funk Flex and Nicki Minaj (Summer Jam Beef)

After Peter Rosenberg a radio host for Hot 97 in New York dissed Nicki Minaj, who was one of the headlining performers for the festival, Lil Wayne put his foot down and decided to not let YMCMB perform. This caused Nicki Minaj to turn her back on fans and the festival all together, by not showing up. Funkmaster Flex, who was upset about the no show spoke on it via one of his sets at Summer Jam.

Flex on Nicki's album sales and being Commercial


This caused Twitter to erupt and Nicki's Fans as well as Flex followers to go hard on each other. Nicki and Flex, being friends, decided to have a phone call to make peace and see where everyone went wrong. Some apologies were made, but to me it wasn't completely solved. Nicki did agree that she sided with Wayne's decision, although, it took her forever to admit it. Flex apologized to her for his comments that he made out of anger. But Lil Wayne nor Peter Rosenberg (who started the whole disrespect thing) were on the call.
 Listen below:

Nicki Minaj Pulls Out of Summer Jam

So yesterday was the infamous Hot 97 Summer Jam. Sumemr Jam is a huge concert that happens every year in New York, well for the past few years New Jersey at the New Meadowlands Stadium (Giants Stadium.) Huge acts have appeared on the Summer Jam stage, from Diddy to Jay-Z to Michael Jackson. I was privileged to got a few times and lived it every time I went. Well yesterday Nicki Minaj was scheduled to perform a set after having missed out the year before to do the MTV Awards. Apparently, one of Hot 97's DJ's dissed her during the show and it got back to Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne sent out a tweet Tiny Klout Flag83Lil Wayne WEEZY F @LilTunechi
Young Money ain't doing summer jam.


Immediately After that Nicki Minaj tweeted that Wayne had spoken and she wasn't doing the show. Funk FLex also took time out to diss the artist. Mind you, Tiger and Busta Rhymes both YMCMB artists  still performed at Summer Jam yesterday. 

Check out the video of Peter Rosenburg dissing Nicki Minaj's "Starships" song.

Meanwhile, Nicki didn't perform, but she partied it up on the other side of town with Camron and Foxy Brown.
