DJ Drama Responds To Young Jeezy

DJ Drama reached out to Miss Info and said the following:

“After reading Jeezy’s unprovoked insults in that XXL article, it seems like the guy’s pretty emotional if u ask me! Maybe he’s dealing wit some things in his career, I don’t know. He did an interview a few months back with Elliot Wilson on RapRadar. and said the total opposite! He was talkin bout, “Drams the homie and we may work together again, etc.” Now I’ve never spoken on our issues because I believe grown man business is just that, and running to the media to whine is not my thing.

But more importantly, his statement about me trying to charge him $20k for a mixtape is a BOLD FACE LIE. I never charged Jeezy for nothin’. I did two Slick Pulla tapes (4th Ward Day, Election Day) for free and a Bloodraw tape (The Indictment Papers) for free. Anything Jeezy ever needed from me, I did without hesitation. He doesn’t want to deal with the real reason why he’s mad.

The tension between us actually started when I deejayed his USDA release party (FOR FREE) and I played a Gucci Mane record. He stormed out of his own party and didn’t speak to me for about 2-3 months. Me, being a DJ, I was just rockin’ the crowd and giving the people what they had been requesting. I don’t get involved in that other stuff.

I could go deeper into his angry reaction to me working with Gucci but, again, I’m a stand-up guy. I’m loyal to those who are loyal to me. I’m not even thinkin bout Jeezy. Why all the tough talk to the DJ who doesn’t say nothin’ about him? Jeezy didn’t say nothin’ tough when rappers dissed him like Pimp C.

I was shocked by his cowardly attempt to try to slander my name in the upcoming XXL article. And what’s the most shocking is to see him side with the FEDs in my arrest! Wow, since when did that become gangster?!? I’m chillin, never said nothin’ negative about dude. Check his character…or better yet, ask those around him that he’s done dirty. Ask the folks who ain’t with him anymore, like Coach K, Twin, his former security Big Sam, or my homie Roccett…

We doin’ our thing over here. I’m workin on albums, Gangsta Grillz Vol 3., traveling the world and celebrating success! And I’m still the Mixtape President!”

[Tracklisting] Shawn Chrystopher - A City With No Seasons

Explanation of the artwork:

I'm a person who loves to take chances, loves tight-roping the line between genius and insanity; the artwork for my debut album is no different. I felt, in hip hop, we were playing things a little too safe with our album artwork, scared of the backlash we would get and ultimately not being true to ourselves. I'm here to change that. The "A City With No Seasons" artwork is inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat because his art was debated about the most on whether or not it is real art because it looks 'elementary.'

I honestly believe that there is no such thing as wrong, or bad art; that is difference between art and math. If I say 2+2=5 I'm wrong, but because my lines aren't straight and my coloring isn't inside the lines my art isn't art? Art is all about expressing yourself, and no one can ever say that you are expressing yourself incorrectly.

It's ok to say you don't understand; what's not ok is to say that it's wrong.

Quest Ft Outasight - Forever [CDQ]

QuESt:

"I want to thank everyone for taking the time to listen to my latest project Broken Headphones. However, due to the fact that I was rushing at the end to get the project out on time to the masses, I was not able to deliver Master Quality of the mixtape. Which I apologize for. Being the artist that writes, composes, engineers, and masters his own product, it really does take a tole when you have be responsible for so much at one time. But you all deserve a project at its BEST quality. Here's the song that I promised to you all. "Forever (Feat Outasight) Thank you for your time and patience. And I will be back with a Revised and Remastered "Broken Headphones (Snap Crackle & Pop Free!)"

Young Jeezy Dissees DJ Drama In XXL Mag

“Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled, but he didn’t want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his crew. The same niggas ain’t around him. You ain’t never been in no streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He’s a cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streets Iz Watchin, because they were selling and distributing them and making money.

I’m not hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that nigga for [contributing a verse to the song “5000 Ones,” on Drama’s official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal. But me putting my hands on that man ain’t gonna make him respect what I’m saying. I’m just not gonna fuck with him anymore. ”

Issue will be on newsstands next week. Shouts to Karen Civil.
