Damn! Besides French touching on other subjects the one that stood out was the real reason why he didn’t sign with Kanye. It being the fact that Kanye doesn’t own a phone but communicating via email and French not really adopting to emails. Seesh! I have to agree with French and say “I feel like if I had went there we would definitely have made history….” var _hsPlayer = _hsPlayer || [];_hsPlayer.push(["id", "5981891", "hsPlayer_5981891", [670, 100]]);(function(){var x=document.createElement("script");x.type="text/javascript";x.async=true;x.src="http" + ("https:" == document.location.protocol ?

Ne-Yo has parted ways from Def Jam and moved over to Motown Records. He’s also been pointed Senior VP of A&R. He will be releasing his fifth studio LP this summer there as well. Via billboard I’m honored that I’ve been given such a prestigious title and trusted with such responsibility; terrified because I know that playing this role in the fashion of one of my career role models, Mr. Smokey Robinson — these are big shoes to fill. But trust, I can handle it.”

There’s a new female rapper in town. Harlem native, Azealia Banks announced that she has inked a deal with Universal Music. Much of her popularity is attributed to her record, “212″

Damn! According to the NY Post he’s that guy. A Mega rep told us: “We have never received any word that any artist has [individually] filed a take-down . . . [we have] legally binding agreements with the performers that appear in the video . . . They promised that they had the rights to enter into that agreement and it’s not interfering with any third-party rights.
