Chiddy Bang: World Record Holders?

MTV's inaugural O Music Awards bound for Las Vegas

April 19, 2011

NEW YORK (AP) — MTV is taking its inaugural O Music Awards to Las Vegas.

The network announced Tuesday that its planned show honoring digital music and fandom will take place at a "mystery location" in Las Vegas on April 28. The hourlong live show will stream online and on mobile.

The show includes categories like "must-follow artist on Twitter" and "best fan cover." Fan voting will decide the awards. MTV says 1.9 million votes have been cast.

At the Vegas event, rapper Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege of the hip-hop group Chiddy Bang will try to enter the Guinness World Records for longest freestyle rap.

Other scheduled performers will include Lupe Fiasco, Lil B, Matt & Kim and Mumford & Sons.

Chris Webby: Single Dropping 4/20

In celebration of 4/20 Chris Webby will drop a new single at midnight tonight.

Seems like the overnight hours are the only hours safe for a Webby track to drop; his last mixtape, Best in the Burbs, crashed DatPiff's servers. Time will tell if tonight's drop will do the same.

You'll find Sunny Afternoon exclusively at DJSemi.com.

Chiddy Bang: Tour Cancelled

AllHipHop.com is reporting that the entire Bamboozled Roadshow 2011 has been cancelled over what organizers are calling "logistics issues". Ticketmaster.com does indeed show all dates except one as being cancelled. Sucks for all the Chiddy Bang/Dev/Ninjasonik fans who were looking forward to the show - but, hey, you can still cop a flight out to East Rutherford, NJ and catch all of the above, plus (according to the website) Sam Adams, Machine Gun Kelly, Dean's List, and about a fuckzillion other acts at the festival itself.

Mac Miller: No. 37 on the Charts; Wiz Learns "You Can't Beat Britney"

Excerpt from an article from hometown newspaper the Pittsburg Post-Gazette:

"Rising up from the underground was Point Breeze rapper and Rostrum artist Mac Miller hitting No. 37 on the album charts with his EP "On and On and Beyond" (over 13k). Miller's "On and On" was the free single of the week on iTunes. Khalifa and Miller are currently traveling together on the Campus Consciousness Tour."

Hater Alert: Spin Magazine/Grayson Currin

As fans of indie hip hop it's always annoying to read the biases of the mainstream music media, as they fawn over talentless lyrics from commercially-driven, major-label-selected rappers but ignore all of the true talent that's out there. So imagine our delight when we read an article from Spin Magazine, with their writer jumping on Wiz Khalifa's dick instead of the usual NY/LA/Atlanta crowd.

That is, until we got to the end of the piece and read the hate he saved for one Mac Miller. Grayson Currin describes the crowd as "surprisingly interested", and goes on to hate on his beats, rhymes, and just about everything else about him - even the fact that he hasn't finished college. WTF?

Read a selection of the bullshit:

"But opener Mac Miller, a 19-year-old Khalifa protg also from Pittsburgh, possessed none of the headliner's effortless energy. Instead, Miller huffed and puffed after he finished a short a cappella verse, attempting to play it cool by assuring the surprisingly interested crowd he needed to take a second to set the mood.

Pulling from his four mixtapes, including the recent Best Day Ever, Miller sounded like an amateur who'd won a talent competition more than someone who'd earned a direct support slot on one of the year's biggest hip-hop tours. Miller's beats are flimsy, his rhymes elementary, the sort of clich windmill you'd expect from a scrawny white kid who seems to subsist only on weed, cereal, and cartoons.

About halfway through his set, Miller asked if anyone in the audience was currently in college. With a smirk bigger than his talent, he told the crowd that he'd tried school, but he just wasn't cut out for that business.

Unless, two years from now, Miller wants to be everyone's favorite forgotten rapper, he might consider taking a more academic approach to music. It's always better to graduate than drop out."

Never mind that Grayson Currin sounds like an amateur who got free media passes to a concert and was annoyed that he had to sit through some white kid rapping as he waited for the headline act, someone he only found about recently... he must have been so irritated to listen to Mac pleasing the crowd as he sat, deep in thought, wondering how he'd not known about Wiz - after all, he devoutly scours every media mailer from ALL the major labels... 

Fuck Grayson Currin and his Johnny-come-lately hatin' ass.
