2 Chainz almost missed BET Cyphers

The highlight of the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards was the cyphers. One of the artists who participated in the cyphers was 2 Chainz. With his single "Spend It" already buzzing, 2 Chainz greatly benefited from being in the cyphers. However, he almost did not make the cut.

2 Chainz told XXL he was invited to the cyphers, unknowingly, at the last hour by his boss, Ludacris. Ludacris called him at 5:30 and told him to be on his jet by 7:30. While the show aired in Atlanta, the cyphers took place back in New York City.

When 2 Chainz realized they were heading to New York for the cyphers, he got himself ready, going to the barber shop for a shape-up and also got clothes. Running out of time, 2 Chainz called Ludacris at 7:30 and told him he could not make it. But, with weather conditions taking 20 to 30 minutes to determine, 2 Chainz had a chance to get there, so he got in his Porsche and got there in time.

At the end of the day, 2 Chainz liked the final product of his work and is now preparing for the release of his mixtape in a few days.

Big K.R.I.T. talks "Live From the Underground" delay and T.I. collaboration

When the September 27 release date for Live From the Underground neared, Big K.R.I.T. fans were excited. But, days before the album was supposed to come out, Big K.R.I.T. revealed the album would be pushed back. Despite his popularity, Big K.R.I.T. likely would not have sold like J. Cole, who also released his album on September 27.

Big K.R.I.T. fans were disappointed when he decided to delay his album until 2012. However, Big K.R.I.T. feels the delay was necessary in order to give fans the album they want. With the release date looming, samples still had to be cleared and features had to be confirmed. Aside from those problems, Big K.R.I.T. was also busy getting videos with 8Ball & MJG and 2 Chainz filmed.

However, Big K.R.I.T.'s biggest story is not about his own music. The Mississippi rapper made headlines when it was revealed he produced, and was featured on, T.I.'s comeback single, "I'm Flexin." K.R.I.T. said the collaboration was crazy and he said to look out for a feature during the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards. It is still top secret, so Big K.R.I.T. can only say so much, so he ended the conversation by telling his fans to be on the lookout.
