DJ Drama opened up about putting together an all-star collabo featuring the biggest names in Atlanta hip hop. The new release of T.I., Ludacris, Future and Young Jeezy's "We In This B*tch" music video has generated a tremendous amount of buzz; and Drama says the track was a moment for the city.

"It's always the people that make the decision [on how good something is], but I definitely knew I had something special," Drama told SOHH, "And even the way the record came together, you know, it had no other choice but to be special. From me getting the beats from Kane [Beatz], which took about a year, to the idea of the hook coming to me and giving it to Future, with the space that he's in right now. And then me getting Tip, Jeezy and Luda on one record, what it means to Atlanta and me repping for the city and me making that vision. It definitely is a special record and I'm glad to be a part of it. It's exciting, especially for what it means to the culture."

50 Cent Discusses Dr. Dre, DJ Drama

50 Cent is prepping his first-ever "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape alongside famed mixtape guru DJ Drama, and the rapper spoke to Shade 45 about the project and why he feels it represents a significant change in direction for him as an artist who did much to build the current mixtape culture.

"I never really, on the mixtapes, reach out and put the people I needed to put on to make it feel like it was a different energy," explained 50 Cent. "It was me doing what I want to do, and of course, putting the artists around me on the tape to get them that exposure."

"This go-round, I said, 'Because it's 'Gangsta Grillz,' it's an event for me!'" he added. "'Gangsta Grillz' is actually the biggest mixtape brand you can be associated with. Everyone else has lost the consistency."

50 also briefly discussed his relationship with mentor Dr. Dre and Dre working with 50's longtime rival, Rick Ross, recently. "You know what I know about Dre? Creatively, he's saying, 'If there's a hit, wherever it is, I'm going to go get it,'" 50 explains. "I don't care. These are people I have strong relationships with that have done things for me. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. I've been raised that way. ...What is 50 Cent's career minus 'In Da Club?'"

Tyler Responds To MC Lyte

Tyler's backhanded comment regarding MC Lyte's supposed sexuality led to the famed femcee expressing some irritation with the Odd Future frontman. Tyler's line ("Let's get it poppin' like MC Lyte around some dykes") wasn't received well by Lyte, and Tyler responded to the controversy in a recent interview with DJ Drama.

“I don’t know if she’s gay or not,” Tyler said. “It was a joke. But if she took offense, so be it…"

"I’m not gonna apologize, but I didn’t mean for her feelings to get hurt," he continued. "Usually people in that position, you’d think they would laugh it off and go on with their day. But I guess she caught feelings. I didn’t mean to do that, but whatever.”

DJ Drama Teams With 50 Cent

50 Cent will be teaming with mixtape guru DJ Drama for their first ever "Gangsta Grillz" collaboration. 50 Cent and DJ Drama have both been important figures in the mainstreaming of mixtapes in the 2000s.

"Tip just came home. I was in the studio with him," Drama said. "He's actually about to drop a new song next week."

"He's in a halfway house but when you're in a halfway house you can still get to work," Drama added. "So he's been in the studio during work time and he's banging out. Actually [his time in the halfway house] ends next week. So he'll be in the streets by the B.E.T. Hip Hop Awards."

Young Jeezy Announces Mixtape

Rapper Young Jeezy is still prepping his fourth album TM103: Hustlerz Ambition for its September release, but in the meantime, the Atlanta star is dropping another mixtape to whet fans appetites for new music. Jeezy has announced that "The Real Is Back 2" will be released sometime next week.

Jeezy is re-teaming with DJ Drama for the sequel to his hit tape from earlier this May.

"'The Real is Back 2' - what if I told you that?" he said. "That was [an] unoffcial [announcement], but I'm saying it. Take it how you want to take it; I said it, I might mean it. [As] a matter of fact, I know I mean 'cus I said it. 'The Real is Back 2' - give me a week...three days, that's all I need."
