As anticipation begins a steady climb for the next album from rapper Game, R.E.D., he is already looking past the upcoming release with the following.

The journey for Jayceon Taylor has been quite a bumpy road in rap.  Emerging alongside 50 Cent and G-Unit to drop The Documentary and then being forcefully removed to wage war with his former rap buddies, Game has found a way to create his own identity, although there may be more than one personality inhabiting his mind.

With his upcoming release on February 16, things have come full circle as he has linked back up to once again become the doctor’s advocate with Dr. Dre.

While recording with Pharrell in the studio, DubCNN was able to speak with the rapper and learn more about the next rumored album Diary of Compton, which should follow R.E.D., and who he intends to tap into to bring the project together.

“Ice Cube is the big homie, Dr. Dre, you know, is like the father-figure or like a big brother to me in Hip Hop, Snoop is going to be down with Game.  Me and Snoop ride or die for each other in music or in the streets.  He’s like my big brother and he holds me down.  To put it together, it ain’t nothing, but it’s gonna take everybody, The Dogg Pound, Daz and Kurupt, to come together and really help me perfect that album or else I can’t do it halfway.”

“I gotta it 100% of what the definition of what Compton is to all the artists involved, myself and what people see from the outside looking in.  I want to depict Compton in a way that’s so real that you feel like you’re from Compton, if you’re not.  You feel like you see or you been through what I’ve been through in my life. “

Slated to be an album of epic proportions, the album is waiting at the batter’s cage, waiting to step foot onto the mound once it is finally ready.  As the last contractual album, the last offering can only be a smash before the curtains close, if they do, with Interscope.

“It’s on hold.  Hopefully it can be my fifth album, which would be my last album on Interscope/Geffen, but I really wanna make that happen.”

He also added more on his current process and stated that his experience with Pharrell has done nothing but give him a better outlook on the producer that made “Allure” for Jay-Z.

“Pharrell is my new favorite producer.  I got a whole new respect for Pharrell and the Neptunes, but especially Pharrell and how he do his thing man.  The way that he coached me when I’m in the booth, it’s like a Pat Reiley to a Tim Hardaway or a Pat Reiley to a Magic Johnson.  They way that he let me run point guard when I’m inside that booth is just crazy.  People don’t really understand what the Neptunes are, but if you take away the Neptunes from Hip Hop, you take away the color in Hip Hop.”

The rapper also spoke on rumors that his upcoming album will feature him linking up with DJ Premier, whom he has yet to work with in his career.

“I’m supposed to be getting with Premier before Christmas.  I hope that happens because Premier is one of my favorite classic OG producers that’s still potent in Hip Hop today, of all time, and I can’t wait to get it in with Premier.”

Calling it his rededication to Hip Hop, Game is bringing out the heavy artillery this time around to show his love and appreciation for the craft, which can only be a positive for fans.  People may not be aware of which Game will appear, but there’s nothing wrong with being unpredictable as no one knows what to expect.

N.E.R.D has added a new member to the group. The girls name is Rhea and may I say she is Beautifulll (yes with 3 L’s). The group is currently working on the  album “Instant Gratification” with the new member.

The girl can sing her ass off. I think think great things will come from this..

Put your V’s in the air

I think Clipse is the only brother duo that really made up their work in any hip hop section (rap,producing,djing etc.). They have a close relation to Pharrell, who they met in 1993.

They have a close relation to Pharrell Williams, who they met in ‘93. In 2001 he signed the duo in his Arista Records imprint Star Trek Ent., where they released their debut Lord Willin.

In 2006 they released their second album Hell Hath No Fury, which I really enjoyed !

They will drop their next album Till The Casket Drops on December 8. It will feature productions by Timbaland, Danjahandz, Scott Storch, The Hitmen and Kanye West.

They also launched a clothing line, called Play Cloths, in November 2008.

For you I got two new joints, Showin Out, produced by The Neptunes and Footsteps.

ya no puedo esperar por el track que hicieron!!

Artists rarely pick the best song on the album for their singles and we don’t find these gems until the albums drop. This happened with Already Home and Thank You on The Blueprint 3, CuDi Zone on Man on the Moon, and most recently Beautiful Bliss on Attention Deficit. And the trend continues as this song is becoming my favorite off of the Clipse’s latest album, that is out if you know where to find it. The Clipse cap off one of the best years for hip-hop in a long long time with their Til the Casket Drops album that is in my top 10 for the year.

Last week, we broke the story that the Obama Fried Chicken in Brownsville was featured in Clipse’s new rap video on YouTube, but that the restaurant marquee was erased for the MTV version. Our scoop sparked cries of censorship on message boards and in fried chicken restaurants around the country. But it turns out that capitalism, not politics, was behind the move to erase the controversially-named restaurant’s sign for MTV. In an exclusive interview with Brokelyn, “Popular Demand” director Rik Cordero says the decision was not made by him, the network, or the artists. So whose call was it?

“The decision was made by the owner of the restaurant,” said Cordero, “who wouldn’t sign our location agreement unless we paid him $3,000 cash. Therefore, the sign had to be edited out for network television.”

“Popular Demand” director Cordero.

Apparently, the version on YouTube, shown below, is not governed by such constraints. Cordero added that “there was really no hidden meaning” behind his choosing to film the video at a restaurant once protested by Al Sharpton for propagating racial stereotypes:

“Our treatment called for a location in front of a chicken spot on the intersection of Rutland and Rockaway, we had a choice of shooting in front of Crown Fried or Obama and the majority of the talent and crew on set voted for Obama. Now you can argue that Obama Fried Chicken had the chicken game on lock because it was way busier than Crown Fried that day, but that’s beside the point.”

The best part of this whole story? That in a hilarious reversal of typical business practices, the restaurant owner had the gall to demand three grand from someone who wanted to advertise his company on MTV. And the craziest thing: it totally worked!

“I can’t really knock the guy,” Cordero said, “because taking out the sign has now given Obama Fried Chicken even more free promotion than if we had left it in.”

The two videos, in case you missed them. First the YouTube version, followed by the MTV version with a blank marquee where “Obama Fried Chicken” should be.

Recently, Game gave an update to his loyal fans about the status of his fourth studio album, The R.E.D. Album. As many already know, this album will be his first album back on Dr. Dre’s label, Aftermath Entertainment. After four years away, Game is finally back home.

When describing this new album, Game has repeatedly said that it was going to be great. He said that the album is by far the most lyrical thing that he has ever recorded. Unlike his previous album, Game promised that this album would be one for the streets, a return to his hardcore roots.

In his time away from Aftermath, Game has made a habit of working with such producers as DJ Toomp and Cool & Dre. Now that he is back at the Aftermath compound, Game’s new album will be produced by Dr. Dre, his production team, and Pharrell. The album had been complete and set for a December 8 release date, but Dr. Dre wanted to work on the album.

Due to intervention from Dr. Dre, the album was pushed back. Now, The R.E.D. Album is set for release on February 16, 2010 on Black Wall Street, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records.

New creative chairs designed by Pharrell Williams. The Pink version won’t be ready until January.

Pharrell Williams brings forth the latest installment of his Perspective series in the shape of The Tank Chair. Slated for a world premiere at the Emmanuel Perriton Gallery during Art Basel Miami Skateboard P’s latest venture in contemporary furniture comes along in four colorways and is made of plexiglas and full grain colt leather. After taking inspiration from the love between a man and a woman for the first Perspective chair one can only assume the influence behind this creative piece.

BBC/Ice Cream just released their Winter/Holiday 2009 Collection. It’s the only good excuse to wear a shirt with a tiger eating an ice cream cone. Seriously, don’t try it with any other brand.

No final de 2008 e em 2009 houve uma invasão de cardigans. Muitas marcas botaram a peça em seus desfiles e coleções.

Um dos primeiros caras famosos a aparecer usando (E que, consequentemente, influenciou muita gente) foi o Pharrell. Essa foto é do meio de 2008.

Calça, camiseta e boné da Billionaire Boys Club, cinto da Bape, óculos Ray-Ban Wayfarer e cardigan Ralph Lauren. O relógio é um Casio G-Shock.

I came across these pictures of the really cool tank chair designed by Pharrell Williams, I think the concept is unique to anything I’ve seen before. This is the second time I’ve seen Mr Williams take a dabble at furniture design. I just wonder where I can get one, hmmmmmmmmm.
