VIDEO: Just Blaze Doc/Interview with Media Gasface – Breaks, Bread, & $100 Bills

CLICK HERE to check out this cool clip of Just Blaze detailing some of his thoughts on his sample selections and meeting some of the artists whose work he’s used.

Just tells a fascinating story about how he met the guy who wrote Bobby Glen’s “Sounds Like A Love Song”, which he sampled for Jay-Z’s “Song Cry”, while the guy was driving him somewhere in LA and recognized his name on the paperwork. He also speaks on other artists that he’s sampled that he later met or spoke to and how they they benefited from the proceeds of the Hip-Hop tracks that resulted. Finally he speaks on the influence of esteemed composer Galt McDermot and some of the many artists that sampled his work. Gasface will soon release the documentary,Looking For Galt, check out the trailer after the jump.

Here is a cool preview of a documentary that Gasface will be releasing very soon.

AUDIO: Gunplay speaks out about BET Hip Hop awards fight

Gunplay calls into Power 105’s Breakfast Club to speak on the altercation at the BET hip hop awards. Lets just say his description of the way it played out in comparison to what the visuals show is very different.

CLICK HERE to see video of TMZ catching up with 50 Cent who appeared to be unfazed by the altercation as he landed in New York following the BET Hip Hop Awards Show in Atlanta.

VIDEO: Gunplay fight at BET Hip Hop awards against G-Unit Affiliate different angle

Here is another angle that was previously released first of the altercation.  However, this video shows what happened after the fight was broken up and Gunplay was pepper sprayed…..he ran in the direction of 2 Chainz trailer.  

Sidebar: I’m starting to lose faith in humanity.  Either people are filming vertically or just shaking the shit out of it to where everything is just a blur.  We have to do better.

VIDEO: Rick Ross & Gunplay scuffle backstage at BET Hip Hop Awards with Young Jeezy & G-Unit

You can’t really see clearly what exactly is going on here but just at the beginning of the video you can see a visibly upset Rick Ross looking like he’s ready to go.  Ross can be seen just before he goes out of focus taking off his chain like he wants to fight….with numerous police already trying to tone the situation down in the hallway.  If you look close you can see DJ Drama in the back as well with a concerned look on his face.  Once Rick Ross passes him DJ Drama continues down the hall and books it to go do his radio show before being shouted out by the camera guy.

It’s sad that in the aftermath a perfectly good mirror was destroyed for apparently no good reason.  Somebody is looking at some possible bad luck I suppose.  Here is DJ Drama’s most current response on the matter he shared with Hip Hop DX.

Here is the video footage of DJ Drama speaking on the confrontation he witnessed after leaving the venue to go host his radio show.

VIDEO: Gunplay gets jumped at BET Hip-Hop Awards by 50 Cent & G-Unit affiliates

From what the video appears to show is 50 Cent and his camp backstage walking somewhere when all the sudden the fight breaks out.  Tossed like a rag doll is MMG signee Gunplay.  From what the audio at the end of the video states a man can be heard saying that Gunplay was to blame for the attack because of trying to sneak attack 50 Cent and run.  

I can’t lie I feel bad for the guy but you have to wonder if this is normal behavior for someone of his background?  At an award show you try and fight 50 Cent when he’s with all this security? It just doesn’t make any sense.  In fact, that has to be common sense.  Then again this is behavior from a guy who openly admitted to having drug problems.  This also raises concerns if the between G-Unit and MMG is once again a priority in 50 and Ross’ agenda.  Check out the clip below.  

Almost forgot…what do you think of Tony Yayo possibly being one of the best if not the best hype man of all time?  In concert this man is on point with 50 Cent bar for bar and knows how to play his position.  Top it off, he springs into action and says the same ad-libs (provides authenticity) that he does on the track.  I’ll be honest, it was my favorite part of the video.
