It got a little spicy between Boosie Badazz and T.I. for a while last month. In his return to Vlad TV, Boosie said the conversation to smooth the moment over went down like “two bosses of handling,” adding that the love shared between their kids made for easy reconciliation.

“He filled me in, and I failed him. I gave him an apology, ‘cause after we kept going back-and-forth… the things he was doing for me, in my life, at the time, I kind of felt bad. He was doing some real shit, helping me in a lot of ways. But I still told him I stand on what I stand on. When he explained it to me, we got by it, man.”

When T.I. and Boosie exchanged words, it didn’t appear it would take the best turn until they were spotted together in the St. Louis airport, and boy, N.O.R.E. is glad to see it.

In case you missed it, during Boosie’s Vlad TV residency, he called T.I. a snitch for statements the rapper made on a podcast he once hosted.

HipHopDX notes the two were alongside each other in St. Louis after a show they both were scheduled for, and it appears to have been a peaceful situation, which would confirm a recent statement from T.I.

T.I. says he and Boosie Badazz have agreed with the latter knowing he “misspoke” about The King’s criminal case. Appearing on TMZ, T.I. stated any ill feelings were gone.

“I believe that someone has come to terms with that understanding, and it’ll be handled offline,” Tip shared. “It ain’t no beef.”

While on Drink Champs, N.O.R.E. reflected on the moment with Wiz Khalifa, stating he was happy the two rappers avoided “war.”

“Y’all could have just done a whole bunch of tremendous crazy shit, but the fact that y’all show that two Black men can get together and talk it out, I really commend that, I really respect that.”

by

N.O.R.E. has responded to Cam’ron’s complaints on social media about a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. The Dipset rapper believed N.O.R.E. and Joe Budden to be making fun of him while discussing other rappers who have ventured into podcasting. Cam recently launched a sports talk show titled, It Is What It Is.

“Me and you are friends from the 90s. You have my real life phone number. You hung out with me for days before you did Drink Champs just to make sure I was the same yalla that you know,” N.O.R.E. said in a tweet posted on Sunday night. “If you thought at any time I was going at you, Why would you go to the internet 1st?”

As for the comments that upset Cam, N.O.R.E. remarked during the interview with Budden: “You know what’s crazy? I’m looking at these rappers trying shows now—you know, rappers from our era—and they are so failing… They doing sports shows, they doing comedy shows. They talkin’ about, ‘Yo, I’m up. I’m just doing this for fun.’ No, you are not!” Budden laughed in agreement: “It’s great to see people fail … You can’t take the blueprint and hire different contractors. They sellin’ ass out here, huh?”

“Damn @therealnoreaga told you I couldn’t trust you. Lolol. Im just fucking wit ya,” Cam wrote online afterward. “But what other rapper from the 90’s got the sports and cooking show? U know u my n***a for life. But ya man hoe buddons threw u under the bus on the very Nx episode said he didn’t know who u was talking bout. I don’t give a fuck how his numbers is N.O. Stay away from that crack head!!!!” From there, Budden fired back at Cam in his own post. “Now that n***a know he too sensitive to do this w me,” he wrote. “Chill before I feel like playin’ back & you start makin’ calls again. Focus on your suits and pink set, that ‘crackhead’ lapped you lonnggggggggggg ago.”

Timbaland Says “Oompa-Loompa” Song Inspired Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody”

by

Timbaland says that the “Oompa-Loompa” song from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory served as the inspiration when he made the beat for Aaliyah’s iconic hit, “Are You That Somebody.” The legendary producer revealed the surprising anecdote during the 2023 Pop Conference at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.

“I actually was trying to make the Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory beat from the ‘Oompa-Loompa’ song,” he said, before singing the hook from the track. “I took that rhythm and I listened back to it and I was like, ‘Man that’s a dope addition.’ That’s what I was trying to attempt, but in a hip-hop way.” He added: “I gotta thank Willy Wonka for that.”

Timbaland At The Songwriters Hall Of Fame

The rest of the panel included Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Take a Daytrip. The latter also admitted that part of Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby” was inspired by a scene from Shrek 2. On a more serious note, Timbaland went further into detail about the production of “Are You That Somebody.”

“The baby part was me going through my sounds. I feel like life is full of music,” he began. “As soon as you wake up, hearing the trees, that’s music. Hearing the crickets, that’s music. I feel like everything that we do is music. When you come outside, listen to the trees, the birds, the crickets, the animals, they all make music. So that’s always been my thing because we didn’t have money when I was growing up, so how could you make music? And my thought was how do you get your gift out when you don’t have the necessary tools to do it? So I always pulled on nature, ’cause I pulled on buckets, spoons, cans to make my beats because I couldn’t afford a drum machine, so I never dialed away from nature, because nature molded who I am today. I always wanted to use nature to be in my songs, just things that we see every day, things that we hear every day.”
