KANYE NABS THE RIGHT TAYLOR THIS TIME!

noreply@blogger.com (the industreetkidd-PC) — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 15:45:00 +0000

There's one Taylor who Kanye West is quite fond of - and her name ain't Swift.

"We're good friends," the rising star said of West. "We're always talking about fashion. We love clothes."

"He's a genius," she said, refusing to go down that road.
West became a hated man after he interrupted country singer Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. He even suggested at the Bowery Ballroom show last week that the incident helped launch Swift to super-stardom.
Teyana Taylor defended him.
"He's the complete opposite of what everybody thinks," she said.

"He loved it!" she said. "I'm just so happy that he believed in me to give me that opportunity to open up his album. That's a big deal."

"I came out [to New York] for a photo shoot," said the singer, who has been under contract with hip-hop producer Pharrell Williams' Star Trak Entertainment label for nearly five years.
But she ended up on stage at the Bowery Ballroom, delivering chilling opera-style background vocals on "Dark Fantasy" and "All of the Lights."

"I clearly did something right because just the next day me and 'Ye was back in the studio," she said, hinting at an upcoming project.

Aside from singing, Taylor also is known for her dancing, which has led her to work with the likes of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. She even dabbles in acting, appearing in "Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming" and a role in the upcoming Tyler Perry movie, "Madea's Big Happy Family."
Although she has yet to release an album, Taylor predicts 2011 will be her year and she's grateful to West for opening new doors for her.

"He brought all my hard work to life," she said. "I thank Kanye every single day."

#SMART MOVE! Nicki Minaj waits til' the week of her album release to finally speak on her "beef with Lil' Kim" Nicki says:

“...Kim just really jumped out of the window and you got to be careful when you pick fights. That’s what I learned in this business. You just never know. I think people get me mistaken with like a real Barbie… they forget where I’m from. If I have to revert back I can, and I will. Don’t play with me. I respect you and love you. I’ve said it in every interview, time and time again. And if that’s not good enough for you mama, then it’s something deep rooted in you. Something is bothering you inside….”

“Put your music out and when I see your name on Billboard that’s when I’ll respond to you. Other than that. Goodbye!”

"The same way she opened doors for me, I'm now opened doors for her... Because nobody was even playing your music, and you damn sure could'nt get an interview to save your life.. "

We have witnessed a few Nike Air Foamposite One releases this year including the “Copper”, “Eggplant” and “Cough Drop” Foams. We will continue to see more Foams in 2011 with this “Metallic Pewter” pair undoubtedly being the most anticipated. We have shown you tons of photos up to this point, but these new images may be the most intriguing. The Metallic Pewter foamposite shell covers the majority of the upper and is offset nicely by the icy outsole and black nubuck located on the midfoot. Is this a must-have for 2011 already? source

"I have made some mistakes in my life that have hurt a lot of people who care about me. I have worked very hard to get past them, but those mistakes have brought me to where I am today, and they will not be repeated. These past six months have been a difficult time, but fortunately I have learned a great deal from my experience. I was able to do a great deal of soul searching; I am coming out with a new attitude towards life." - gucci mane source

WORD ON THE STREET: DIDDY SET TO MANAGE NICKI MINAJ & RICK ROSS

noreply@blogger.com (the industreetkidd-PC) — Mon, 03 May 2010 19:08:00 +0000

Rick Ross recently talked about why he wanted Diddy to manage him. “The experience and the knowledge that Diddy possesses is priceless,” Ross said in an interview. “The relationships that he’s accumulated over the last 20 years is priceless for a young artist such as myself. We developed a mutual friendship. We just stayed in contact. I was calling him for advice anyway. He was doing it for free…He was doing so many different things for me on that level..I expressed my interest in developing and designing my own clothing label. I expressed interest in branching off into liquor endorsements, book deals. I’ve yet to headline my own major tour yet, which I’ve never had a problem with, because I love the intimacy of clubs. I love when I can run in the club with 2,000 people in there, and I can look the majority of them in the eye and make sure they feel Rick Ross and understand what Rick Ross brings to the game.”
