Karen Civil’s Civilized Talk continues and joining her is the PLK. Very interesting questions from the reason he went with HFM2 to the possibility of dropping another Mo’ Money In The Bank tape. He also speaks on the likes of his three favorite freestyles, advice to his younger brother (Loui V), using Twitter like 50 and more. Real good interview Ms. Civil.
“Who knows? Somebody can speak on Banks tomorrow and I’ll have something out by Friday”

This was very interesting to read. AHH (part 1 and Part 2) interviewed Cashis recently and he discussed all things including his deal with Shady, upcoming album (75% done) and various beef with the likes of Royce, Chamillionaire and Freddie Gibbs. He goes on for four paragraphs about Gangsta Gibbs. Sheesh. Can’t we all get along? Read the rest of the interview over at AHH above.
As far as Freddie Gibbs, I don’t even know that dude. I don’t know. I don’t know what to say, like straight up. I wasn’t even aware of him until like 2 days before he dissed me. One of my A&R’s had hit me like won’t I do this record with this dude Freddie Gibbs. He is out of the Midwest and went to California like you. I’m like, okay, that’s what’s up. He from the Midwest, I’ll f**k with him. So, the next day I went in the studio, and laid down a dope ass record, and was gonna hand it over to him. The next day, I get an e-mail from my A&R like don’t do the record with the dude, and I look in the e-mail, and homie [Freddie Gibbs] is talking mad s**t in the e-mail.
And I’m like, Oh my God, that was the ultimate slap in the face, cause I’m really working harder than a muthaf**ka to be good. To do good. I been telling people that I don’t diss people in my music, I’m tryna stay out of jail. Then this dude come with that. So, I’m like alright. I didn’t know what to do, so I just won’t respond. Because he called me a buster, which means that he wasn’t talking about rapping. So, I’m not talking about rapping. So, he gone have to prove that I’m a buster. I ain’t gonna go looking for that ni**a, because I don’t know him. And I would have wished him the best, but it seems like we are cut from a similar cloth, or he’s mimicking. One of the two. Because we both have a Pac sort of influenced style. We both went from the Midwest to California. We both supposedly like guns and all this crazy s**t. So, either we are similar or someone is copying someone. And I know its not me, because I came out first.
The Darkman hits St. Louis to discuss the upcoming album, production, best and worst rappers (calls Plies the worst rapper out) and more. This is comedy. I really hope the music reflects the way he talks about it.

Sumit catches up with French Montana in his studio to discuss what he believes is his way to success, transition from mixtape to an album and more. French needs to do that stuff he did with Max B on his solo scene. That’s what was working for him. I also heard the rumor that French was off Konvict. It sounds like in this interview he confirms it without actually saying it by saying he’s got a few deals to put out the album. Hit the jump to see his video for “Dope Man”, directed by Mazi-O.

Part two has Salaam talking about working with Amy Winehouse. That’s definitely an odd pairing I don’t want to hear. That Rehab record she had was pretty catchy chorus wise.

During Rock The Bells weekend, Miss Passion got another interview. This time with Atlantic Records signee, Wiz Khalifa. He talks about the recent songs that have leaked, working on his upcoming album, joining Atlantic instead of Maybach Music and more.
Previously: Video: Wiz Khalifa – I’m Flashy Interview
I’m Flashy has a quick sit down with Wiz Khalifa. They discuss Drake’s recent comment about him on 106 & Park, Jim Jonsin produced records, who he wants to work with (hint: West Coast OG and ATL’s Trapper Of The Year) and Warner Brothers. BTW, “Black & Yellow” is hard hitting in my rotation.
