Pill Explains His Maybach Music Deal

Atlanta rapper Pill has seen his profile raised since he joined Rick Ross' Maybach Music imprint. The rapper recently released his mixtape "The Diagnosis," and shared what his approach will be going forward now that he's affiliated with a major label.

"Its just basically me doing my same type of music with just a bigger look and a bigger stamp," Pill told AllHipHop. "Being that Ross got me over at Maybach Music, it's an all around good look and he just wants you to do you. Make sure you put out your music and he can give any type of input that he may feel that you may need, and he don't stop me from trying to do the type of music that I want to put out. I just continue to put out the type of music that I want to put out and that got me signed."

Pill also explained the track "Scotty Pippen, Tim Duncan."

"It just was basically trying to come up with some slang, as a reference to the trap like doing numbers or being numbers," he said. "Something besides going ham, because it seems as if everyone been going ham.... really hard, I was like ' well let me come out with something else right now'. So hopefully that will catch on just as much as the other one did too, but this time I will be credited."

Wale and Kid CuDi Reunite

Rappers Wale and Kid CuDi ended their feud earlier this year, and now the friends-turned-enemies-turned-friends again have collaborated on the track “Focused” from Wale's upcoming album, Ambition.

"We're 23 years old at this time, we're trying to figure it all out," Wale said of he and CuDi's friendship. "We went from not having sh-- to having money at our disposal, so it kind of f---ed up our friendship. He doesn't smoke as much anymore, but his name is Scott."

The two rappers reconciled via Twitter several months ago.

“I was like, 'Sup, man, how you been?' He said, 'I been good, man. I just wanted to get right to it: I know I've been acting kind of f---ed up and weird,' and this that and a third and all that other personal sh--. He threw that out there, and we just made amends. The next morning, he called me like, 'I just wanted to let you know I wasn't high or anything when I called you. I really meant it.'"

Lil Wayne Ft. Drake & Rick Ross – She Will (Remix

If you don’t use it, Rozay will. There were rumors circulating that Ricky was going to have a verse on “She Will” and he did. For whatever reason, it didn’t make the cut forTha Carter IV. DJ Scream throws it out for the people to love. This is way better than the original. I like having Rick Ross’ verse instead of what we have on the original. August 29, C4.

Update: There was some minor tags in Rick Ross’ verse but for the people who needed the complete tagless, it’s now below.

Rosa Acosta Vs. Wale

Rapper Wale got into it with model Rosa Acosta on Twitter over the weekend. Acosta reportedly criticized Wale's performance at a recent show and the D.C. rapper got a bit sensitive about her critique.

"Rosa you owe me 15%, I made you hot my n*gga...Don't submit your opinion to the public," Wale tweeted. "Your talent doesn't require a voice. We listen to real women in 2011, not industry slides...If your talent is your areola...you don't deserve an opinion."

"@RosaAcosta how bout I couldn't move..do u have any fans, or a bunch of n*ggas that wanna f*ck u following u?," he continued. "If ur talent is ur areola....then u don't deserve an opinion. Shoutout my sisters w/ that ambition n drive 1st. #salute"

"I will only get into a twitter beef with you if you have 2 million + followers so zzzzzz," she tweeted back. "On a real note for somebody that supposedly got "bars" those tweets were real wack and sensitive."

DMX On Joining Maybach Music

Despite the fact that Rick Ross allegedly made an offer to recently-released rapper DMX to join Ross' Maybach Music Group, X gave a short, sweet and decisive answer when he was asked about joining the Miami rapper's label.

"Nah, probably not," X said.

He didn't offer any further explanations, but it remains to be seen if, when and how X can restore the luster to his hip hop career. He's had a ridiculous string of legal mishaps and has been in and out of jail for several years.

DJ Khaled On Rick Ross Vs. Jeezy

DJ Khaled shared his take on the beef between Rick Ross and Young Jeezy that nabbed headlines last summer and left lingering rumors that the two rap superstars aren't on the best of terms.

According to Khaled, its all much ado about nothing. But he didn't elaborate on the specifics.

"First of all, I don't condone problems. I represent that love and making good music," explained Khaled. "Them two guys, they don't have problems. ...They don't have problems. People just try to make things into a problem."

Rick Ross Motivated By Wiz Khalifa

Rick Ross revealed in a recent interview that an early rejection has motivated his Maybach Music imprint's latest successes. The label put in a bid for Wiz Khalifa, and the upstart Pittsburgh emcee declined. Wiz's decision convinced Ross to step his game up on the business end.

"I put the proposition out there. But at the time, Maybach Music wasn't really where we were supposed to be, which was a lot of motivation," Ross explained. "The homey made a great decision, going to Atlantic Records. He's released a classic album, and I wish him much success. But it also inspired me and it also reassured me that I had a certain eye. I remember when I put Wiz on the 'Super High' remix, a lot of people was like, 'Why would you put a rookie on your record?'"

Wale On Rick Ross' Mentorship

Rapper Wale recently revealed just how much he's learned since he's been affiliated with Rick Ross' Maybach Music. The D.C. rapper says being Ross has given him a deeper appreciation of music and being an artist.

"I never knew how to get lost in music. I never knew how to just wake up, smoke a J, and play music all day," Wale explained when asked what he has learned from Ross. "I do that now. When I recorded [my 2009 debut] Attention Deficit, I treated the studio like it was a 9-5. I walked in there with my briefcase--which was my book bag--with my music, some energy drinks, and some weed. I come in at 11 and I clocked out at five no matter what I got done. Now, there's times where I left the studio at nine in the morning after I went in at six the night before."

Rick Ross Bashes "No Homo"

Rick Ross has gone on the record regarding hip hop's obsession with 'no homo.' Ross says he doesn't use the phrase and doesn't see why so many people are so insecure that they feel the need to constantly pepper their conversations with 'no homo.'

"I've been on Twitter before, and somebody will say something to me with "no homo" at the end," Ross said. "And I'm like, Why the f*ck would you even need to say that? ... I don't use it. There's no reason. I mean you Tweet me, I hope you're no homo. They'll be like, 'Yo man, let me get your blunt, no homo.' That's why I don't smoke with nobody."

Pill Lands a Movie Role

It's been a good year for Pill so far, and it's getting better. The Maybach Music rapper has landed a role in the upcoming film, 96 Minutes. The independent movie is based on a true story and intertwines the lives of four students in the midst of a car-jacking.

Watch Pill strong-arm a guy and catch the other end of a mollywhop in the trailer below.

Teedra Moses On Joining Maybach Music

Soul singer Teedra Moses may seem like an unlikely candidate to join Rick Ross' Maybach Music, but in a recent interview with Billboard, the songbird explained why she wanted to be a part of Rozay's stable of artists and what she likes about Ross' approach as a boss.

"If they had wanted something else they wouldn't have come for me," Teedra said. "This is not a situation like most labels. What Rick Ross is trying to do is build a real label not a rap group. He [Rick Ross] went out and got Wale. He's trying to have Wale do something different. There's an audience that likes Wale. Stalley has an audience who likes him. Ross isn't asking us to change or do something that we don't already do. He's picking artists that people cling to and he works that."

Pill is Ready MMG

Maybach Music signee Pill is ready for his close-up. The rapper told XXL magazine in a recent interview that he believes he's bringing something that hip hop is lacking: realness. Of course, every new rapper that gets signed claims he's the 'realest' thing in the game, but Pill insists that somehow--he's different.

"I bring a reality. I bring that reality back. I paint pictures out of the hood," Pill says. "My music is complimenting their style. I like to document all the shit I've been through and I don't think anybody can do that better than me. Ain't no raw MC in the game that's rawer than me. I documented my shit. Whatever I rapped about I showed it to you. When you've got that much credibility, there ain't anyone else with that much credibility."

"When you've got somebody that raw and that intelligent that can touch on all angles and come from every side with it and be able to clarify it and also be able to give you stories, whatever angle it may be, it's a true testimony," the rapper continued. "If I'm on a track with Ross or whoever it may be I can switch to any subject. It's always going to be clarity with me. I think I bring more versatility than any other artist in the game."
