Seattle Slim Presents The Beat-niks: I See You Jackin’ Bitch…

Now if anybody loves Wyclef Jean’s “The Carnival” it’s me. That album for me is EASILY a classic. So when I heard he was going to do a “Carnival 2″ I grew hopeful. Then I heard Scrawny McBrawny T.I. was going to co-executive produce the album and I proceeded to swallow exorbitant amounts of cyanide and arsenic. Life isn’t right…..
Wyclef Jean talked to XXL about his artistic visions and why he is a sell-out to his real fans .

On T.I’s role in the album:
T.I. is one of my co-executive producers. What I’m doing with the album… the mind state I have is sort of like Gershwin presents Porgy and Bess [George Gerswhin’s famous 1930’s opera]. I took artists like T.I. and put ’em over a guitar riff, or Akon and put him over a choir, or Lil Wayne. I wanna combine the young and old, like they’re gettin’ together. So what I did is, when I recorded a lot of stuff, I would play it for T.I. Because I wanted to know his vibe, like how was he feelin’ [about] this? ’Cause I would be singing a straight up song but [he’d] be like, “Man, this is crazy.”

On what he learned from T.I:
I would say what I really learned from T.I., working with him and being in the studio with him a lot, is sort of [the] flyness. ’Cause what happened is, sometimes you can come across so deep in the lyrics, [but] saying it more simpler is probably flyer. So I would say T.I. probably put my lingo and swagger up.

Umm I think most of us got what he was trying to say. I mean if you didn’t, you need to go back to school and work on that reading comprehension like your life depended on it. I’m just saying. What Wyclef is really trying to say is: ‘I’m dumbing my music down with this skinny ass because from what I’m hearing smart is not where it’s at. A man has to feed his family….’ That’s a real damned shame…..SMH.

Rumors were all over the internet that Young Buck made some scathing remarks about 50 Cent and G-Unit at the HOT 107.9 Birthday/Summer Bash over the weekend. Word on the ‘net was that he said “F_ck G-Unit” and that his label Cashville was the new “unit.” Rumor was he was pissed that Fifty never gave him a cut of his Vitamin Water money (a profit of $100 Million). Well now Young Buck’s manager is denying that it was said. Well kind of……

Just after bringing out The Outlawz onto the stage, reports indicate the rapper said something to the effect of “F— G-Unit, Cashville Records is the new unit.” But, since the reports started to surface, Miss Info, as well as a commenter at the event, said that he never said those words and instead spoke about his Cashville imprint.

Buck’s manager cleared up what was said in a quote given to Allhiphop.com. “All [Buck] said when he got on stage was that he was trying to make Cashville Records the next G-Unit ’cause 50 didn’t share [those millions]” Buck’s co-manager Sixx told the site.. “He was joking, talking about the Vitamin water deal. I guess I can see how they might have misunderstood, but he definitely wasn’t dissing. There’s no beef.”

That’s fine and all but he still brought up that Vitamin Water money. Joke or not, Fifty needs to keep his eye on that guy. He seems a little “thirsty” to me.

Some of you may have heard this song or not, but just in case here’s a link to take a listen to Chilli’s single “Glidin” off her upcoming solo album. The album is slated for release this year now that she’s on Akon’s Konvict record label. We will see. The song has the potential to be catchy but it seems way too young for her. It also has all the cliches in place, so it’s obvious they went the “safe” route with her. But will “safe” help her? We all know what it did for Kelly Rowland’s impending flop.

With the members of the Spice Girls all confirming a possible reunion, a title for the first single has been made public. They’re hoping to release the single in time for Christmas. Their greatest hits album is slated for release on November 5th. Yay! I know exactly what to get people I don’t really like and annoying co-workers for the holidays.

The song was written in 1999 - after Geri Halliwell had left the band - but has been updated in time for a Christmas release.

A source told Britain’s The People newspaper: “It is a very catchy pop tune so they thought it would be great to use it now. But they have updated it, with Geri adding her vocals.”

Talk about crappy singing! I project a world crisis where ear drums just start popping with all the music between Rihanna, Britney’s new album coming out around that time and now the Spice Girls. We might as well just puncture our ears right now.

It’s been a tough few years for Michael Jackson especially when it comes to money. He alleges that Don Stabler, a friend of his brother Randy, tried to stiff him out of a small “fortune” by signing an undisclosed deal back in 2005 during his child molestation trial. He says thanks to Jesse Jackson and billionaire Ron Burkle he was able to prevent any financial ruin.

In one transcript, obtained by the New York Daily News newspaper, Jackson recalled: “I vehemently told them, ‘No, I am not signing this.’”

“And I just remember how angry, the intensity of the anger in the room. And so they marched out.”

Jackson, whose career has been in free fall since the court case, said his experience has left him wary of the entertainment industry.

Right I am sure that Jesse was more than happy to “hold” that money for safekeeping. What are friends for right? I’m still amazed that this man has money. That’s what blows my mind…….

This really doesn’t come as a surprise to me, but unfortunately it does to Rihanna. But she shook those haters off! They didn’t know quality YELPING when they heard it. According to the Post Chronicle, Rihanna had the habit of howling singing loudly in the shower much to her neighbors discomfort and irritation.

Despite their complaints, the 19-year-old Bahamian has no regrets about her uninhibited crooning.

She says, “I was pretty loud. I annoyed them. I’m sorry, but I don’t regret it and I’m sure they don’t either.”

Oh…I’m sure they still do. Her singing can be akin to two wolves howling at the full moon sometimes. I’m just saying…….

All that complaining and instigating 50 Cent starts must all be a front, because according to the The NY Daily News he ain’t such a tough guy after all. According to two columnists at the paper, whenever they ask doormen, waiters, and others who is the nicest or meanest celebrity, 50 Cent comes up often as the nicest.

…..and on Wednesday, he’ll prove it yet again at Cipriani Wall Street when he does a dinner concert benefit for the Sarah Ferguson Foundation. It’s all part of Cipriani’s charity concert series, which is underwritten by Deutsche Bank so all the do-re-mi can go to charity.

SHM! Although I am surprised he comes up as the nicest, I am not surprised that all that gangsta posturing is a farce. Come on now, the guy used to live in Connecticut. What kind of “ghetto” do you have there? What are they gang banging for out there? Spots at Martha’s Vineyard???

Apparently Busta Rhymes wasn’t having a happy birthday after all. As a matter of fact, he was plain miserable according to some eyewitnesses. The NY Post reports that the spent his birthday sulking in the club. He celebrated his 35th birthday at Suite in Miami last weekend and it wasn’t pretty.

“He acted miserable and no one in his entourage spoke to him all night. Busta just stood in a corner alone with his bodyguard. When one of the waitresses brought him a bottle of Cristal with a lit sparkler sticking out of the cork, he claimed he never wanted it and ordered her to send it back.” Rhymes then complained that he wasn’t paying for the liquor and spent the rest of the night mouthing the words to his own songs that the deejay played for him

I guess all those legal troubles have him less than pleased. But I don’t know…maybe karma has a funny way of rewarding one for keeping mum about the murder of their own bodyguard? I’m just saying…….

The HOT 107.9 Birthday Bash took place over the weekend and boy…were there a lot of donkeys performers! Let’s have a look-see at what transpired. I will say this: somebody ends up flat on their face on the floor.

I see D. Woods from Danity Kane made an appearance. Unfortunately her good weave ponytail didn’t. This whole outfit screams a combination of swap meet, Rave and Forever 21. Showstoppin’ indeed. I like D. Woods, not this outfit.

Stepin Fetchit DJ Unk was there to sing one or two of his two-hit wonders. If a song like “Walk It Out” can make him famous, my song “Hobble In” will surely do wonders for me!
Coming in at 12 minutes out of their 15 minutes of fame are the Shop Boyz. Looking at their faces I am GLAD they had on makeup like the band Kiss towards the end of the video. Damn! More pics under the labels!


Some kid named Big Korey performed. Big indeed. Glad to see he thinks rapping will take him far. Because we all know school won’t right? Am I right? Sure I’m right.

Ciara apparently did an impression of her CD sales in the first picture. Good to see she’s good at interpretive dance. I’m guessing that’s called the “flat line.” She does look Boyish nice.

Fabo from that group D4L….oh yeah you probably forgot already. Those guys that sang that “Laffy Taffy” song? Well here’s one of them at 14 minutes and 50 seconds of his 15 minutes of fame. Nice leggings.

Pubic Rick Ross showed up with his nest of pubes adorning his chin. He performed with DJ Khaled and apparently they dripped gravy all over each other during the performance. Tastes like chicken!

T.I. saw fit to show off his chicken chest as well as his narrow ass during his set. Pull up your damned pants. He looks like somebody’s grandfather who is too senile to recognize his pants are hanging off his ass. SMH!

Speaking of old men, Young Jeezy was there. What else is there to say? After he and his group U.S.D.A’s “White Girl” campaign, I’m speechless when it comes to talking about him. I’m still in shock.

I had to give this picture its own post. Gucci Mane looks very confused here. Well Gucci you’re not alone. I’m confused as to WHY you are still relevant and to whom. I’m confused as to what your last hit single was. Why are you here?

I’m laughing at his face. It looks like someone either told him:
a) Slavery ended and he is free.
b) The diet pill he’s taking causes anal leakage and he may want to change his pants.

“What you mean we is free? How long has this been?”

What does it look like to you?
