DX News Bits: Rick Ross, The Grammy Awards

    After “Maybach Music 3,” a highly-anticipated track off of Rick Ross’ fourth studio album Teflon Don leaked earlier this week, the Boss announced via his Twitter account that singer and collaborator Erykah Badu would be shooting the official music video for the record.

    The song, which also includes rappers T.I. and Jadakiss, is expected to be released as the third single for the new album. Rick Ross’ Teflon Don will be released July 20 through Maybach Music Group/Def Jam Records.

    In other news, The Recording Academy has modified the eligibility rules in the Best New Artist category for the Grammys that will take effect next year.

    Whereas previous nominees could only be eligible if they were not nominated in a prior category, the new amendment will allow artists into the category as long as they have not won a Grammy prior to their nomination.

    With the change, rappers Drake (Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance) and Kid Cudi (Best Rap Song, Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Performance By A Dou Or Group) will now be eligible in the Best New Artist category for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards as both had prior nominations but did not win.

      1. seriously i can’t take in the fact that he makes dope songs over grown-man beats and makes theatre music because he has some fuzz on his face…i need to figure out my priorities

    1. that rick ross album gonna be fire every song i have heard off of it is strait ill def pick it up

    2. Unlike you fools
      I only listen “REAL” good rap music
      ROSS is nothing but hot beats and fake mediocre lyrics
      His features with Ye and Kiss are what make his songs have any interest to real hiphop fans
      Funny how so many respected lyricists are dick-riding such a fake fuck just for the bucks

      1. “REAL” Music to you must be artists like 50 and that piece of garbage album BISD LOLOLOLOL

      2. i really listen to Lyrics and i never listened to Ross much before because of his obvious shallowness but he has stepped up his flow, wordplay, multi-syllable rhymes, and delivery dramatically to the point of almost impressiveness. I’m a real hip hopper so I’m into the “real” rap music too. just sayin………

    3. FUCK THE GRAMMYS! THESE FUCKTARDS ARE SO FUCKING EVIL THAT THEY’LL DO ANYTHING TO DENY ARTISTS WHOSE TALENT MERITS ANY TYPE OF HONER, SO THEY’LL BE ABLE TO PUSH AWARDS ON UNTALENTED DICK MONGERERS LIKE DRAKE! THANK ME LATER FUCKING SUCKS! THESE ASSHOLES SHOULD JUST RENAME EVERY CATEGORY TO “MOST AIRTIME ON COMERCIAL RADIO! AS FAR AS I KNOW THE ONLY PERSON WHO I CAN RECALL DESERVED THE AWARD HE WON AT THE GRAMMYS WAS STEVEN COLBERT….well maybe he stole it from Patton Oswalt…BUT BESIDE THAT POINT FUCK THEM! GIVE BEST NEW ARTIST TO SOMEONE WHO ISN’T A CELEBRITY OR GO SHOVE AN ASPESTICE COVERED BROOM UP YOUR ARSES!

    4. WOW! What a fucking bullshit change by The Grammys and also why the fuck should it matter anyways…Drake will get a Grammy next year because that’s how heart broken and badly The Grammys wanna give it to him for not giving it to him this year…It’s almost like you were suppose to win a Grammy this year Drake but we’ll change the bullshit category for you and give it to you next year…C’mon Son!!! Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit…The only new categories that The bullshit Grammys need to make and still to this day have forgotten to make is (The Best Independent Rap Song, Best Independent Rap Solo Performance, Best Rap Producer, and Best Independent Rap Performance By A Dou Or Group) for the underground artists like Boot Camp Click,Pete Rock,Large Professor,Cormega,Jedi Mind Tricks,Madlib,Mos Def,Slum Village,Slaughterhouse,etc…They never make a category for the underground rap artists EVER!!! And that’s how much The Grammys are full of shit…They wouldn’t know how to nominate and give out awards to REAL Rap groups and artists unless KRS-One,Big Daddy Kane,and Kool Herc were staring them directly right in the fuckin’ face in The Grammy committee room…Now that would put those biased fucks under pressure…lol…So they can change their bullshit categories for Drake all the fuck they want to but we all know what the real new categories should be which is why those Grammy liberal fucks are so fuckin’ shaky and bitch made to do it…Give them a Cormega CD and those fucks wouldn’t know what to do with themselves…You already see that they didn’t even want 50 Cent to win a Grammy Award for Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ but 50 had to win through Eminem and Dr.Dre’s “Crack A Bottle” and they didn’t give NAS a Grammy award for N.I.G.G.E.R. and didn’t give Q-Tip a Grammy award “The Renaissance” so that goes to show you there that The Grammy are afraid to give awards to real Queens niggaz…

      1. Co-sign, except for one thing. The grammy judges are CONSERVATIVE FUCKS! Only rightwing tri-fuckers would reward mediocrity based on affluence (ie Drake having awards pushed on him because his label buys him a shit load of airtime). It’s hitlergasm conservatives that have turned the music industry business model into targeting the most profitable demographics (little kids). And it’s these asswipes who’ve turned commercial radio into a shitty rating agency for artists, which has forced artists to water down their content to gain it’s approval. Fuck the right, fuck republicans, fuck the phesudo “left” democrats, and fuck Obama for not fighting back!

    6. I agree what about Ice Cube who didn’t win a grammy for the predator, or any Public Enemy stuff. Those albums were riddled with controversy but still were mainstream successful selling a million or more. Categories today are watered down and is it me or does it seem the list of artist they pool from get shorter and shorter. All about name recognition and radio spins, do these people even listen to whats new, whats at the under current of mainstream. And yeah the Ye’s and Kisses will do songs with Ross or any body else sub fuckin par, out with creativity and in with the bullchit.

    7. Meet single,—rich cougars– -rich sugerdaddy /dating on the site–check out my handle
      ************ Match Riches.C/O/M ****************-where you can hundrend of thousands of other quality singles.

    8. Who gives a damn about the Grammys? Drakes cd was mad whack. Rick Ross is a perpetrator. TI is monotone and has little to no delivery when he rhymes. Real talk. I do like Jada. Enough said.
