Check out below for a full transcript of the show…

(Show intro)

Lets’ get started on the news for the week of Oct 22^nd 2007:

Quick update on T.I.- (If you need to recap on the full story check out last week’s show) In the meantime, he was finally released  on $3 million dollars bond this past Friday, and the judge ordered him on house arrest –which is not a bad deal, considering the type of house that he lives in.  He probably has a recording studio, basketball court, chef, you name it… He gets to stay home until his gun charges trial.  So, anyway he’s back home after 2 weeks of being locked.

AJC Story on TI Bond

R&B singer and dancer extraordinaire, Ciara, celebrated her 22^nd birthday this week while in Japan.  She spoke with People Magazine and of course you know they brought up the rumors about her and 50 Cent.  Of course. Ciara denied the rumors, again, like 50 Cent always does, and she also shut a few rumors down:

-rumor about her and 50 living on a ranch in the ATL– FALSE
-rumor about her being mad at 50 for the ‘so-called look-alike’ on the liner notes of his Curtis album—FALSE
-rumor that 50 ‘cried on her shoulder about the competition with Kanye’—FALSE

People Magazine Article

Speaking of 50, why was your boy–you know what?  Check out this video clip:

I am so mad at 50 right now (LOL!)  Why was he holding his shirt making it real tight–I’m mad at those glasses…

So that concert, he did a surprise appearance he at Philly’s Powerhouse on October 19th, 2007.

So, a lot to cover for this week of October 8th 2007, I’m just going to get right to it and cover as much as I can in the short amount of time that I have.   The biggest story this week was the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors.  This is the show where every year VH-1 selects a handful of artists, or things from the HipHop culture to celebrate and honor.  Some of this year’s honorees were A Tribe Called Quest, Whodini, Snoop Dogg, and Missy Elliott.  So what was the biggest outcome of the show–which was actually a pretty good show–if you missed it, good luck trying to find it online because Viacom is shutting those things down on YouTube and all over those video websites.  It leads me right into the

BOO! Of The Week:

I’m sure you’ve read about it everywhere, what they’re calling, “Lupe Fiasco-gate”.  So, lemme just break it down for you and just summarize for you as best as I can:  so Pharrell, Common, Busta Rhymes and Lupe Fiasco were performing Electric Relaxation by A Tribe (Called Quest) they were doing the tribute performance, and Lupe flubbed a word or two.   And it wasn’t even that serious.  Go ahead, check out the clip:

MTV News Link
Missinfo TV Link

That was it…  That was what this whole big to-do was about.  So it did become a whole big thing–every single Hip Hop blog I know or read talked about this incident.  What made it so bad wasn’t the fact that he flubbed the line (artists do that–it happens on stage) but what the problem is, or where my ‘Boooo!’ comes in is the fact that people were dissing him online; he decides eff a publicist, eff an official statement–he just went on this whole long rant about how he didn’t listen to ATCQ growing up…that the (VH-1 HHH ’07) performance was offered to him…he rejected it at first…but it was Q-Tip and the rest of the crew that was ‘adamant’, that was the word he used, they were ’adamant’ that he perform.  He said, “…I was listening to 8-Ball and MJG and N.W.A.”, etc, etc…blah blah blah, blah blah…  My thing is, there’s a lot of your fans that read stuff like that.  You don’t go off on a rampage on FANS, on the people who have the potential to buy your music.  So
anyway…BOOOOO! 

All in all, I thought the show was pretty good.  I thought the Missy tribute was pretty good.  And, of course, I loved the Tribe Called Quest–What up QUEENS!!!!–I loved that tribute, it really brought me back.  I’m a huge fan of ATCQ.   And for those of y’all who’ve never seen Busta (Rhymes) perform (live)… the energy this guy has is unbelievable!  This guy can always get a crowd, a stadium, ten, twenty-thousand people up on their feet.  And
that’s exactly what happened he did at the Hip Hop Honors.

Rhymes HHH ’07 pictures (AOL Music)

I’m talking about I watched and got goosebumps when he came out on stage.  I had a link (of Busta’s performance @ the HHH) for y’all, thanks to Straight Outta NYC.com,  because she had gotten some exclusive footage of the show…but Viacom is shutting things DOWN on YouTube so, unfortunately, I don’t have that clip anymore (but do a search, y’all will find it…)

New Music

Also this week, big week for Jay-Z.  He had a select few media to take a listen to his new album, American Gangster.   This week he had the new video for “Blue Magic” (ft. Pharrell).  The video actually premiered on BET
this week and I have the clip for y’all if you wanna check that out:

Jay-Z also had leaked this week another song from the American Gangster album, called “Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)”.

Jay-Z Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)

Another track that got leaked this week is from Lil’ Wayne featuring, get this y’all–Babyface.  Yeah, yeah, yeah…that Babyface.  The song is called, “Comfortable”, and it’s actually a pretty chill song. 

Lil’ Wayne ft. Babyface – Comfortable

One of my faaaaavorite MC’s in the game, Jadakiss, he officially signed his deal this week with DefJam.  I’m excited about this.  I can’t wait for Jadakiss to drop another studio album.  DJ Envy and DJ Clue are having his DefJam signing party is tonight (Friday, Oct 13th) in NYC.  Hopefully there’ll be some pictures or some juice that I can share with y’all this week.

So that’s gonna do it for me…Thanks for joining me, as usual.   Go ahead and check out the links to the new music and the videos, and the stories that I talked about here on the show.  Don’t forget every Friday you can find me here at hiphop.popcrunch.com.  This weekend should be real interesting, I should have a lot of good things for y’all next week because this weekend in Atlanta is the BET Hip Hop Awards.

Alright y’all thank for joining, and I’ll see y’all next week…Peace!

This week’s HipHop Crunch show is here. Enjoy! And be sure to check out the transcript below for links to music and videos that Pascalle mentions …

(Opening Intro)

Hey What’s up y’all, it’s Pascalle, welcome to this week’s edition of the Hip Hop Crunch Show. How y’all doing?

Hip Hop Crunch Show – What is it? You know what it is, basically it’s the weekly show where we talk about all the best in the Urban world whether that be Soul, Hip-Hop and R&B.

So let’s hurry and get started and just jump right to it. It’s been an interesting week–the week of October 1st, 2007–by the way you know you can find us here at hiphop.popcrunch.com

I got a couple of stories in the ‘What the F–!’ files this week. First up, is Olivia. We have Olivia, whose been dropped from G-Unit…and the stories as far as why are conflicting (50 Cent says one thing, and her camp says something else). This video was leaked this week–I’m hoping to God this is NOT a real video–I like Olivia, she’s from my neighborhood in Queens (What up Queens!). I”m hoping this is not the real video. Check this out:

Olivia – ‘Missing You/My Daddy’ video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3pRuaYzf9o

I had to look at the video like 2, 3 times to make sure it wasn’t a joke, like, “nah, she’s joking…this isn’t for real…” Invest in a proper video! The song is called “Missing You/My Daddy”, but with the video like that, that’s not going ANYWHERE… Not a good look, mami…not a good look…

Lil’ Wayne…Lord have us mercy…did y’all read that interview with VIBE Magazine that he has coming out in the November (2007) issue? One of the most interesting things that stood out in that interview, was the fact that he mentions trying to holla at R&B singer Trey Songz’ girlfriend and he says, ‘yo, Trey must be puttin’ it DOWN because his girl was not trying to hear me and I tried a couple times and she was straight shutting me down…so you wanna talk about G’s in the industry? Trey Songz is a G’ (or something), then he says ‘no homo’ at the end.

As far as album releases that came out this week on October 2nd, 2007–someone that I’m definitely checking for–definitely checking for–J. Holiday. Y’all hopefully have heard his single, “Bed”, it was number one, it’s been everywhere…His album ‘Back of My ‘Lac’, came out this week, so I’m gonna be checking out J. Holiday. And he’s a lil’ cutie too…

Also, we have Trey Songz who came out with his album, “Trey Day”. From what I’ve been reading online, he’s next up in line to be the next R. Kelly–the album is about nothing but sex…

In new leaked music on-line, we have Mary J. Blige with a song titled ‘Just Fine’. Up-tempo, fun. It’s going to off of her tentatively titled album, “Growing
Pains”.

BOOOOO! Of The Week – Beyonce

Apparently she and her camp have decided to cancel her Malaysia stop on her world tour overseas. Instead, she’s going to keep her Indonesian performance. I’m saying Booo to that only because the reasoning for the cancellation is because they, being Beyonce’s camp, does not want to comply with the dress code rules. I mean, if someone as big as Gwen Stefani can comply and just cover up from the neck to your knees, I don’t see what the big deal was with that. So she decided, screw it, cancel the show. So why Beyonce really cancelled that show, who knows, was it because she really did not feel like having to comply with that? I don’t know, but either which way: BOOOOOO!

Each week, HipHop Crunch will be hosting an online show dedicated to HipHop news and gossip. We hope you like it!

Along with each episode, we’ll also include an overview of the show script along with links so you can find out more info:

We’re still gonna to have the daily blog, but once a week we’re gonna have a video posting where I’ll be talking about some of the biggest news in Hip Hop.
Along with every video posting there will be a transcript and story source links.

So let’s get to it! Biggest story from Last week: Jay-Z vs. LL Cool J possible beef?
Depends on who you ask; It it’s up to LL cool J has been saying forever that’s he’s had a problem with how Jay-Z has been running Def Jam as president and was vocal about it on the 50 Cent’s underground song, “Queens”. If you take a listen to the lyrics on LL’s verse you’ll see exactly what he’s been saying all along: he’s been at Def Jam forever but ever since Jay-Z’s come in, LL, I guess is feeling like he hasn’t had the proper shine or proper promotion. LL’s even said himself, “The one thing Jay-Z’s good at promoting Jay-Z.” Jay-Z hasn’t hasn’t said anything really–up until very recently…

50 Cent has a remix to his “I Get Money” song as the “I Get Money Forbes 1,2,3 remix”, and Jay-Z says something to the effect of “I’m already the G.O.A.T., I’m about to be a billy.” Now, anyone who know’s LL’s music knows that LL has always been the self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. which is an acronym for the “Greatest Of All Time”. So is Jay-Z going after him? Is he not? Well here’s what LL had to say about that. Check out this video clip:

LL Cool J on Blok TV (responding to Jay’s verse on “I Get Money”)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHtFnFtg_vY

So…and already the buzz on-line is that LL already has a song using Jay-Z’s “Takeover” beat where he’s going after Jay-Z, and going after him hard. That’s a rumor, that was found on AllHipHop.com

http://allhiphop.com/blogs/rumors/archive/2007/10/01/18672392.aspx

So we’re gonna see if there’s ever a song that comes out and see if those rumors are true. Recently though, as far as last weekend, Jay-Z did call in Angie Martinez’s show at New York’s Hot 97 saying, nah, he wasn’t focusing that line at LL, but…C’mon Jay…

Jay-Z insists his verse on 50’s “I Get Money” (Forbes 1, 2, 3 remix) is not directed towards LL

Along the lines of Jay-Z, we know that there’s a movie coming out called ‘American Gangster’ starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. And that’s coming out, I believe, this December. Jay-Z’s coming out with his new studio album. It’s not the soundtrack to the movie American Gangster, but it’s a concept album inspired by this movie. So, is Jay-Z retired? Is he not? Who knows, but he’s coming out with another album. He already has a single out called, ‘Blue Magic’. If you haven’t heard it, I’ll have a link up for you so you can take a listen. Put your comments let me know what you think about the song.

In more new music, let’s go to Jay-Z’s wifey, let’s talk about Beyonce, and how she has a remix with Justin Timberlake on his single, ‘Until the End of Time’. Again, I’ll have a link up, let me know what you think of the song.

In other news, we have Miss Karrine “Don’t Call Me Superhead” Steffans, who was on Jamie Foxx’s Sirius satellite radio show. His radio is called “Foxxhole”, and it’s an hour long clip where him and his crew are at first clowning, clowning, clowning Superhead and just having jokes going back and forth. There’s some crazy allegations and some alleged things that went down. As far as Jamie Foxx, he made it it very clear to let everybody know he had nothing to do with Karrine, and the fact that he did not sleep with her. At first when he met her, he thought she was very pretty but didn’t know she was *that* Karrine. Take a listen, I’ll have the clip posted but I’m warning you now: it’s really long, unless you have an hour to spare, maybe on your lunch break at work or something, take a listen to it. (Warning: Explicit language)

So, that’s about it y’all, I’m keepin’ it real brief. It was kind of a slow week in Hip-Hop this week, but it’s all good. You know I’m gonna be keeping an eye out on things and have some more good stories for y’all next week. Let me know what you think about the show. Let me know also if you have other features you guys want to see besides New Music and besides Gossip and things of that nature. Don’t forget you can also check out a transcript of this show on this page. You can click on the links, the video and things I went over in the video.

That’s it for now. And I’ll see y’all next week, thanks for checking us out. Peace.
