Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Currently, Big Sean is touring the world since he finally released his debut album, Finally Famous: The Album. While it took two years for Big Sean to gain a release date, it was well worth the wait. In the eyes of many, Big Sean is the biggest new star in the game. His music has grown very popular with fans.
Big Sean is taking advantage of this opportunity, already recording a new album. Before the end of 2012, Big Sean plans to release his second album. Not only does Big Sean want to have his album out before the end of 2012, he wants to have the album released early in the year.
Discussing the recording process, Big Sean said it has been hard trying to record the album. Big Sean said he has been touring and he has gotten sick a few times. Still, none of this will stop him from the task at hand, getting his new music out to the fans. Before he releases his next album, Big Sean will release his mixtape with Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y.
Big Sean said the trio has recorded several songs, which will be used for the mixtape. However, he did not reveal when the mixtape was coming or what to expect. Read more...

Method Man to sever ties with Marijuana
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Rappers such as Method Man and Snoop Dogg helped to pave the way for the "weed rap" sub-genre of hip hop. Both artists have been able to cross over, while still remaining true to the weed. Meth, himself, starred in the How High movie with Redman, which is about marijuana.
Method Man has almost become synonymous with marijuana smoking. Despite this, he is looking to change his image. Not helping matters is Method Man being a part of the Smoker's Club tour with Curren$y and Big K.R.I.T. Method Man is leaving the weed alone, happy to pass the torch to Wiz Khalifa.
The reason Method Man is giving up marijuana is because of his children. During his interview with VIBE, Method Man said he did not want people to automatically think of weed when they thought of him. Method Man said there is much more to him than that, but he is not entirely leaving the culture, he is simply leaving the forefront. People always assume Method Man is high, when he is not, so he is making a change. Read more...

Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Aside from the emergence of the New West, Mac Miller has been the biggest independent artist in the game. Currently, the Pittsburgh rapper is preparing for the release of his debut album. Titled Blue Slide Park, it is named after a local hangout from Mac's childhood.
Because of his buzz, Mac Miller is known all over the world and everyone wants to work with him. Mac Miller revealed all the major labels want to sign him. Despite this, he has decided to remain an independent artist.
Mac Miller is signed to local label, Rostrum Records, the same label which Wiz Khalifa is signed to. Speaking on major labels, Mac Miller said they can bring an artist certain things. But, he would rather see what he and his team can first do without any help.
Because of the technological advances, Mac Miller said anyone could have the success he has had over the past few years. Mac Miller said he was glad he could inspire this type of movement and he hopes more children realize they can reach their dreams through YouTube and other social media outlets. While he remains independent, Atlantic Records has been rumored to want to sign Mac Miller. Read more...

Lil Wayne responds to Luther Campbell, calls out DJ Khaled
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Long before Miami became the home away from home for hip hop's elite and long before Miami's rap scene was popular, Uncle Luke was holding things down. Uncle Luke paved the way for Trick Daddy, who opened the doors to the Miami hip hop scene. Of course, Trick Daddy has not been popular in years, but his affiliates are.
Uncle Luke, who now goes by his real name, Luther Campbell, has been very active in his hometown. He ran, unsuccessfully, for mayor of Miami and has become one of hip hop's biggest commentators. He has discussed Wiz Khalifa and Kanye West, among other things. His most-recent discussion involved Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, and Diddy.
Luther Campbell felt those rappers, who shoot music videos, attend basketball games, party at clubs, and sleep with women in Miami should give back. Primarily, he was talking about the rappers mentioned above. Campbell said they should be active in helping to revive the Miami economy, which is struggling like everywhere else in the United States. Recently, Lil Wayne has been more talkative than usual. Under his belt, already, is a Jay-Z diss and he recently responded to Uncle Luke.
On Twitter, Lil Wayne responded to Luther Campbell saying "This Nigga Luke trippin!!!." He also had choice words for label-mate, DJ Khaled. Wayne also said "I ain't feelin khaled right now neither." Read more...

Big Sean speaks on Encounter with Maino
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Recently, Maino was in an interview and he was talking about beef in the rap game. During the interview, Maino questioned who he would beef with, Wiz Khalifa, or Big Sean (referring to him as Lil Sean). It was then when most felt the beef had started.
Last week, the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards were taped. There were rumors of Big Sean and Maino having an altercation on the red carpet. Because of the previous comments, many felt there was more beef than discussion.
Clearing up the rumors, Big Sean said he and Maino do not have any issues with each other. On the red carpet, Maino walked up to Big Sean and said he has nothing but love and respect for him. Big Sean said he was glad he came to him, as a man, and cleared things up. Read more...

Rick Ross talks Maybach Music expansion and "God Forgives, I Don't" title
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Last year, Rick Ross made a play at Wiz Khalifa, but eventually he signed with Atlantic Records. Defeated, Rick Ross used this as motivation and added several new talents to his Maybach Music label. Among the 2011 talent signed to the label is Atlanta rapper, Pill, and DJ Scream.
While Rick Ross has signed many artists, many have questioned why. Signing an abundant amount of artists can sometimes be a bad thing. Rick Ross said the first thing he looks at is the work ethic of the artist. Many have credited Ross for having one of the best work ethics in the game.
Rick Ross promised all the new Maybach Music artists have a strong work ethic. Wale, who previously was signed with Interscope Records, has been steadily working hard. Rick Ross has a distribution deal established with Warner Bros. Records and Maybach Music will be releasing a number of new albums before the end of this year.
Among the new Maybach Music releases will be God Forgives, I Don't. Early this year, Rick Ross announced his new album, saying it would be out before the end of this year. Not much news has been released about the album, but everyone around Ross has hailed it as a classic. Rick Ross, himself, said he has been number two in the rap game for a while. However, after he releases this album, he will be the number one rapper in the game.
Speaking on the title of the album, Rick Ross said the title is fitting. While the title represents his real feelings, the God Forgives, I Don't album does not have a release date. Read more...

Wiz Khalifa speaks on Morning Routine
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Over the past year, Wiz Khalifa has become a larger-than-life figure, as he just released his debut album and is second is in the works. It has been an incredible journey for Wiz Khalifa. Now considered one of the biggest stars on the planet, many wonder how Wiz Khalifa lives.
Wiz Khalifa decided to answer those questions, saying he wakes up in the morning, like everyone else. After he opens his eyes, Wiz said he rolls up some weed and smokes. Once he smokes, Wiz Khalifa brushes his teeth, gets some breakfast, and starts his day.
During the interview, Wiz Khalifa admitted he usually smokes before he brushes his teeth. Wiz Khalifa said smoking before brushing is the best way to do it to get rid of the smell. To the Taylor Gang CEO, it is dumb to brush your teeth and then smoke, dirtying the mouth back up. Read more...

Jim Jonsin was also the mastermind behind the "Strange Clouds" track with B.o.B. and Lil Wayne. Crediting the song as a good lead single, Jim Jonsin revealed he was not a fan of the record. Speaking on B.o.B.'s new album, Jim Jonsin said he has some good tracks. Jim Jonsin went on to say he feels B.o.B.'s new album will be better than his first album.
Young Jeezy has also been contacting Jim Jonsin for beats. Jim Jonsin said Young Jeezy will randomly call him up and ask for beats. Usually, he will quickly send Jeezy a beat and it ends up going unused. Because he likes him, as both an artist and person, Jim Jonsin said he is eager to hear Thug Motivation 103 and he hopes he has a track on the album. Read more...
