Kane Beatz Lists Nas, Lil Wayne, & Bei Maejor As His Favorite Artists To Work With
February 9, 2011
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH KANE BEATZ from DERICK G on Vimeo.
Well that’s a collaboration I didn’t see happening. The Lupe/Kane track made sense as the majority of Kane’s bigger placements have either been for Young Money or an artist on Atlantic Records. Considering Nas doesn’t have the best ear for beats and his style hasn’t really changed I’m curious to hear what this will sound like.

January 3, 2011
Bangladesh lets the cameras inside the studio as he takes us through the creative process in creating the beat for Lil Wayne and Cory Gunz new single off The Carter IV.
I gotta give him dap for selling the same beat to the same artist twice (you know this is “Amilli” on steroids) AND flipping Harry Belafonte in the process.

Bangladesh Ends ‘A Milli” Beef With Rapper Lil Wayne
December 17, 2010
According to Allhiphop.com, Bangladesh has ended his feud with Lil Wayne. The Atlanta-based producer just laced Weezy with the his latest hit 6’7″, the first single from Tha Carter IV. The beat samples Harry Belafonte’s “Banana Boat Song.”
“I wasn’t getting paid royalties, that was the issue. But recently it’s been cleared up and everything that’s owed will be paid out and everything in the future will be handled properly,” Bangladesh told AllHipHop.com. “It wasn’t me who made this decision, Lil Wayne wanted these beats, because I didn’t know what the relationship was.”
Bangladesh had done several interviews complaining that he hadn’t been paid royalties for producing “A Milli”, one of the biggest songs on Tha Carter III. But everything is good now.
How did the beef get squashed? Get more details at Allhiphop.com.
Just Blaze Talks No Love + Stadium Red Tour + No Love Video
October 1, 2010
Vibe got up with Justin to briefly talk about his use of the Haddaway sample and how the Eminem featuring Lil Wayne song “No Love” came about. Interestingly enough this replaced a song that didn’t make the album due to sample clearance issues. He says there are three that didn’t make the cut, now why can’t those records leak?
UPDATE:
We actually caught up with Just Blaze, Omen and Double-O during this event as well. Here is a clip of Just breaking down just how advanced the Stadium Red studio is now and will be moving forward.

StreetRunner Samples Valerie Simpson On Lil Wayne’s “With You”
September 29, 2010
Streetrunner dropped a nickel on Vibe.com about the sample he used for Lil Wayne’s “With You” from his alien celebration, “I Am Not A Human Being.”
“I just was digging one day and found this beautiful Valerie Simpson record, but kept it in the stash for a while,” STREETRUNNER tells VIBE of the sample used on “With You.” “Normally, it takes me a long time to feel like I have a beat just the way I want it. But ‘With You’ came together in about an hour.”
“Our intention was to make sure the sample wasn’t so low and in the cut. Some producers tend to boost up the drums and drown out the sample.” added STREET, who’s first big look came via Terror Squad‘s “Take Me Home” in 2004. “I wanted Valerie’s voice to be right up there with Weezy and Drake’s voices. It was about making everyone mesh together.”
Swizz Beatz Talks “Stan” Follow Up Track “Anne”
September 24, 2010
In this clip Swizzy sits with Sway from MTV to talk about his up coming track with Wayne “Anne”. Apparently this is the follow up to one of the greatest hip hop tracks ever, “Stan“. I don’t know about you but I’m not anticipating this at all. Tracks like this rarely pan out and typically fail to live up to the impact of the original.

Bangladesh Talks Unpaid Royalties, Cash Money, Gucci & Ciara Collabo
July 8, 2010
Bangladesh sat down with Rap-UpTv recently and spoke about the lack of payment from Wayne’s “The Carter III”. As you may know Mr. Bangladesh did the “A Milli” track on the album and this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about producers not getting paid by Mr. Carter. As reported in April Jim Jonsin is still seeking payment for “Lollipop” and producer Deezle at that time was still waiting to get paid for “Mrs. Officer”. With Wayne locked up anyone else think these guys are still waiting? Also during the interview Bangladesh reveals that he did a track with Gucci featuring Ciara and says “it’s some hood shit, but it’s pop”. Hmmmm sounds interesting.
