Dan DeLuca of The Philadelphia Inquirer has an interview with Janelle Monae. They talk "The ArchAndroid," artistry and more.
"Each artist that's committed to art has the opportunity to see beauty and messages that a normal person may not be able to see," she says. "I want to do that on my own terms, and I know I have a responsibility to the people who are going through everyday life's obstacles, and are feeling oppressed and depressed and suppressed. And I definitely want to create music that empowers and uplifts them. This is my job."
According to a press release and the 2010 VH1 Hip-Hop Honors website, Diddy was added as a last minute performer for the show, which will air on VH1 on June 7 at 9 PM ET.
The show will honor The 2 Live Crew, J. Prince, Jermaine Dupri, Luther "Luke" Campbell, Master P, Organized Noize and Timbaland. It's unclear who Diddy is performing in honor of, but it's being taped this evening and AllHipHop.com CEO Chuck Creekmur posted the photo above (click to enlarge) of Diddy on stage with Jermaine Dupri and said that Diddy was rapping about New York City. I'll take a wild guess and and say they were performing the "Welcome to Atlanta" remix.
Update: Creekmur confirmed to me that the song was, in fact, the "Welcome to Atlanta" remix.
Initially, Diddy had said that he would be appearing on BET's 106 & Park today, Thursday, but that has changed. Diddy says he'll be on the show on Friday, instead, and the BET.com schedule has him appearing along with the cast of "Get Him to the Greek."
On Twitter, Swizz Beatz posted a tweet saying how there is nothing worse than a song leaking when it's not finished "because people don't get the full effect." He also included the #ULTRA Twitter hashtag three times.
Due to the timing of these comments, it seems likely that he is referencing the leak of his unfinished track for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris," which featured a guest appearance from Jay-Z with two verses from the rapper. The second verse on the track sounded as though it may be a reference vocal for someone, perhaps Diddy.
Check out the clip below for an in-club performance of Gorilla Zoe's "Get Off Me," which he debuted in mid-May. You can listen to the studio version in our audio player.
Here is the opening title sequence for "Get Him to the Greek." There's no appearance from Diddy in here, it is mainly a telling of Aldous Snow's story. There is some explicit language and content.
PopEater.com has a video interview with Diddy, Jonah Hill and Nick Stoller focused on "Get Him to the Greek." Diddy talks about one of the moments that he ad-libbed.
Early in May, we heard a snippet of a track that Swizz Beatz had produced for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris.". Diddy called the record the "last joint" on the album.
A supposedly unfinished version of this song has appeared online, featuring two verses from Jay-Z and lasting just under 3 minutes. No vocals from Dirty Money are featured. But the beat, chorus, etc. is the one that we heard when Diddy played the snippet of the track, referred to as "Ultra" due to the word being repeated by Swizz Beatz during the chorus.
The second verse sounds as though it may be a reference vocal for Diddy. It name drops Ciroc, "Last Train to Paris" and includes this line: "me and Hov, two yachts, playing bumper cars."
Following the clip I shared earlier today, Derick G. has more footage from DJ Khaled's "All I Do is Win (Remix)" music video. The track features Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz and T-Pain.
