T-Pain & Chilli Scans from Hip-Hop Weekly Magazine

Here are some scans from Volume Two, Issue Eleven of Hip Hop Weekly Magazine...T-Pain is interviewed in an article titled “Feel The Pain,” promoting his new album; Epiphany. The magazine later features a great Epiphany review.

Chilli gets mentioned twice in the issue, first in an Usher article; “Off on His Own,” addressing his split from his mother’s management. The article mentioned the rumor of Chilli signing with Usher’s mother’s management, and mentioning “a handsome 36-year-old man,” in her life. Chilli is later featured on the “WENDY WILLIAMS: THE QUEEN OF ALL MEDIA KEEPS HER EAR TO THE STREET,” section, dealing with the same rumor.

USHER'S MOM TO MANAGE EX-GIRLFRIEND CHILLI

http://www.konvictmuzik..net/...

MediaTakeOut.com, seems to be keeping Chilli in the Internet buzz these days, never-the-less everything they release should be taken with a grain of salt (Note the Dated Photo of Chilli), read on…

May 11, 2007. If you thought that the relationship between Usher and his mother, Jonnetta Patton, couldn't get any more estranged, you'd be wrong. MediaTakeOut.com has discovered that Jonnetta's going after a new client - Usher's ex-girlfriend Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas.

In an exclusive interview, a person close to Chilli told us that she's considering signing on to Jonnetta's management company, J-Pat Management. The tipster explains, "[Chilli] has been managing her own career for a [while]. But with a new album coming out later this year, it might be time to bring in someone else to help."

According to the snitch, J-Pat could be the perfect fit for Chilli. The tipster tells, "[Chilli] and Jonetta are very friendly and they both respect each others talents. So I think they would make a great team."

And the two have a lot more in common than just music. For years, both women have been feuding bitterly with Usher's new fiance, the 39 year old Tameka Foster.

Reports are that Jonnetta and Tameka's relationship is so volatile, that Usher's mom was once forced to take out a restraining order against her. And Tameka's feud with Chilli has been equally explosive. Word around Atlanta is that Chilli split with Usher after she caught him cheating with Tameka.

Atlanta Rapper Dolla Inks Deal With Akon's Konvict Muzik

Atlanta Rapper Dolla Inks Deal With Akon's Konvict Muzik

Published: Tuesday - May 8, 2007
Words by Allen Starbury
Atlanta rapper Dolla has signed a deal with Jive Records and Akon's Konvict Muzik where he will release his debut, ATLA.

Before becoming Akon's latest find, Dolla (real name: Roderick Anthony Burton II) was a member of an Atlanta-based group called The Rascals, which caught the attention of heavyweights such as Missy Elliot and Diddy. After making connects with the aforementioned moguls, he ventured into the fashion industry, working for Diddy as a Sean John model. As a model, his image covered the Hyatt Hotel billboard in Los Angeles, but it was his undeniable rapping skills that impressed Akon in the studio that sparked a relationship that eventually turned into a record deal.

So far, the young rapper landed his single "Feelin' Myself" on the "Step It Up" soundtrack and continues to push it even further, as he prepares his debut album.

As far as his musical style, he's versatile. That's why Akon was so taken back by his skills. Dolla refuses to conform to the mold the music world has become so accustomed to. "I make 'me' music." Dolla explained. "I can do street music or pop music, but I make music from the heart -- meaningful songs, songs with substance. I rap about the struggle, like being five years old, seeing your father killed before your eyes and instantly becoming a man on the streets."

By the age of 10, Dolla found himself hustling the streets to support his family. Still a boy, he was made privy to the trials of men.

Jive Records and Konvict Muzik are planning to release his first single, "Who The F--- Is That?" featuring Akon and T-Pain soon.

There is not scheduled date for the release of his debut ATLA as of press time.

Spotlight Lyrics: T-Pain - Bartender featuring Akon

T-Pain: Musical Bartender

T-Pain: Musical Bartender

The song has burned a hole in your head. From its catchy hook to its intoxicating beat, T-Pain has mixed together a smooth concoction called, “Buy You A Drank [Shawty Snappin']”. The Tallahassee native wowed audience with his first album Rappa Ternt Sanga and is now hoping to bless them with his second offering.

Epiphany is a blend of sex, pain and the experiences that fame and money has brought Faheem Najm. With a new single blowing up the radio and a video creeping it’s way up the charts, Najm better known as T-Pain sits down with HHDX. In this interview, the “sanga” turned musical bartender talks about his favorite drink, if he’ll ever do a full-length album with R. Kelly and shares a few personal epiphanies of his own.

HHDX: Your use of the vocoder makes you stand out in the game – was that something that you came along by chance or was it just a decision on your part?
T-Pain: Honestly, I came across it by chance. It just happened. I didn’t plan on that making me into the person that I am. I wasn’t trying to do it, at first. I was just really into making music. So, the using of the vocoder had just came about out of nowhere, but I’m glad that it’s worked for me.

HHDX: The style of music you make is a hit with the ladies. What determines your songwriting – the ladies or the clubs?
T-Pain: Songwriting is determined by me, man… just me. I write from real life, you know? I’m not trying to get at anybody. I just make the music for myself. It’s real life. Personally, I have to like the music that I make more and before everybody else.

HHDX: The single, “Buy You A Drink (Shawty)” is a burner. How’d the concept of the song come about?
T-Pain: The song just came up. That’s just how everyone is meeting these days. “Can I buy you a drink?” That’s how people are cultivating a relationship. It’s how one may have a one night stand [laughs]. The song is just a reflection of those things.

HHDX: So, when T-Pain is in the club what can a shawty get to drink on your tab?
T-Pain: [Laughs] You know the boy has to have two shots of Patron on the rocks with a little bit of lime.

HHDX: Can you talk a little bit about your new album, Epiphany?
T-Pain: It’s just more this time on this album. There’s more pain being exposed. There’s more experiences that I have been going through. The whole album is mature. There’s a song on there called “Right Hand.” It’s about a dude that cheated on his girl and he has to tell her before the rumor mill started up about his infidelity.

HHDX: You blend rap with R&B in your music. How is your writing different between the two?
T-Pain: There’s no writing difference between the two. I will say that you have to concentrate more on the R&B writing. But that’s only because more people know how to rhyme. It’s easier in a sense. Honestly, I prefer writing R&B and singing versus rap. You can put more feeling into it. You don’t have to yell just to get your point across. You can be smooth with it. Hell, everyone is a rapper nowadays, so I’m trying to be and stay different.

HHDX: Did anything in your life happen that influenced the titling of the album?
T-Pain: Man, Kev… everything has been happening in my life. I have had a lot of tragedies to deal with. I lost one of my close friends. People who I’ve known have been getting killed. So, I’ve had two years to think about this album. I’ve poured everything that I could into seventeen tracks on this album.

HHDX: Your boy, Mickey “MeMpHiTz” Wright, was instrumental in your career. What do you think he saw, or what Akon saw in you that other’s may have overlooked?
T-Pain: I don’t know, man. A lot of people were looking at my hair. They were asking me what I was going to do about that. That’s what it was. I came up different than everyone else. I don’t have the same story; the same shit, the same background. That’s how you appear different. So, I took my differences and used that to my advantage.

HHDX: So, given that, how does it feel to be simultaneously slept-on and sought after?
T-Pain: I never felt anything about that. I didn’t know how to succeed, you know? I have never tasted success, so it didn’t phase me none. I couldn’t fail because I never tried.

HHDX: You also branched out and made a song carving into the MySpace craze. How did that come about?
T-Pain: Brandon T. Jackson brought it to me. Nobody would do that song with him. He had brought it to a couple of people, which mainly were a bunch of rappers, and they didn’t want to do it. But he brought the track to me. I heard it and we ended up doing it that night. It was his first time in the booth. So, I’m glad to have been a part of that experience.

HHDX: Aside from getting hits on your page, you making hits on the charts with R. Kelly. After the success of the songs y’all do together – could there be any plans of you two doing a whole album together?
T-Pain: [Laughs] Nah, he got too much time on him; too many years on him.

HHDX: Last question – with more male R&B singers coming out and selling, how does T-Pain continue to standout within the crowd?
T-Pain: I can only do one thing and that’s just be me. I can’t do the same shit that everyone else is doing. I have to be a different kind of artist. So, in order to stay ahead, I can only be just me… that’s all I know.

Kardinal Offishall Gets Konvicted And Designs Video Game Console

http://www.konvict-muzik.chilli-online.net...

Toronto dancehall MC Kardinal Offishall has signed to R&B artist Akon's Konvict Muzik label, which will release Offishall's new Not For Sale album sometime this summer.

Akon will produce the album, which is set to feature contributions from De La Soul, Rihanna, Lil Wayne and Clipse. The partnership with Konvict means American distribution for the new album, as Offishall's 2005 album, Fire And Glory, was only released in Canada by Virgin Records.

"[Offishall] reminds me of myself and that's why I think we get along so well," Akon told andPOP.com in November. "He just produces the kind of music he wants to make and that's the way it should be. He's smart with his career decisions and looks out for his music."

The two men previously collaborated on Akon's' "Kill Di Dance" from 2005's Illegal Alien, Vol. 1 mixtape.

Offishall (real name Jason Harrow) recently contributed his skills and image to Nintendo's "The Art Of Wii" contest. Six Canadian artists, including IllScarlett cover artist Adrian Forrow, were commissioned to slap a fresh coat of paint onto the video game giant's iconic Wii system. The consoles, including one co-designed by Offishall and artist Allistair Lee, can be viewed here.

"Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" - Dir. Benny Boom
Published On Friday, April 27, 2007 4:38 AM
The Harvard Crimson
By SANDERS I. BERNSTEIN


Sure, the title “Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin’)” is ridiculous. But that’s not really important. Neither the song nor the video works because of innovation, or technical perfection, or even grammatical propriety. They work because they channel their club-hit influences so well.

The video, like the track, is not particularly original. Just as the song recycles the lyrics of wildly successful tracks including “Snap Yo Fingers” and “Walk it Out,” the video is replete with the apparent prerequisites for any commercial rap video: darkly-lit shots of a club where beautiful women dance around the singer, with money raining down and Cristal in the cups.

But just as the song is an undeniably catchy fusion of pure pop-rap-bubblegum ridiculousness (the phrase “I’m gonna buy u a drank” has never sounded so smooth), the music video too achieves success. There’s one particularly memorable image where, as T-Pain sings “I got money in the bank,” money appears on-screen, dripping with liquor. No longer are money and dranks separate considerations; in T-Pain’s world, you have money-dranks. In the ultimate display of making it big, crisp Benjis serve as Solo cups. Who wouldn’t want to attend T-Pain’s party?

And that’s the secret to the success of T-Pain and Young Joc. It’s a fantasy, pure and simple.

Both artists (and the video’s viewers, living vicariously through them) can “make it rain” like Adam “Pacman” Jones without worrying about a single repercussion. And that’s why the club scene gets recycled in so many guises, in so many songs, and in so many videos. Getting your drank on is simply too appealing.

AKON DENIES STEALING LOON'S TUNES

R+B singer AKON has slammed allegations that he stole a song from rival rapper LOON. Loon claims that Akon fused stolen vocals from his hit song Who Is That, with those of another artist, T-Pain and the Locked Up hitmaker. But, manager of Akon's record label Konvict Muzic, tells AllHipHop.com, "Given Akon's current track record of making writing and producing hits, it is very unlikely that he would have 'stolen' a record form Loon. T-Pain had no knowledge of what was happening once the song got leaked." But Loon's representative remain stands by his allegations, saying, "Why does Konvict Records feel they need to steal hits from Loon? "Loon is a bonafide hit song writer so let's expose these people and give Loon his bona-fide dues."

T-Pain "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')"Takes Over the Airwaves and Cell Phones

http://www.konvict-muzik.chilli-online.net/index...

Konvict/Jive Records recording artist T-Pain dominates the music airplay and ringtone charts with his break out single "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" from his upcoming sophomore release Epiphany.

This week "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" beats out artists such as MIMS, AKON, Avril, and Beyonce as the #1 ringtone on the Billboard Hot RingMasters chart for the 2nd week in a row. The ringtone sold 182K this past week alone and has sold nearly 800K ringtones to date. In radio airplay "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" is ensconced at the #1 position in four separate charts #1 at R&R Rhythmic - beating out Fergie, Timbaland and Bow Wow , #1 at Mediabase Rhythmic, #1 at R&R Urban - knocking AKON out of the top spot, and #1 at Mediabase Urban.

His new single "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" features Yung Joc and borrows from four different snap records to create one hot track. "Basically, these days lots of people begin their relationships in the clubs," explains T- Pain. "Whole conversations begin with some guy buying a young lady a drink. I wanted to make a song for those folks."

After catching the ear of songwriter and producer Akon, he was quickly signed to Akon's label Konvict Records and rapidly followed in his footsteps to the top of the charts. T-Pain's previous singles from his gold-selling debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga have sold in excess of 6 million ringtones to date. The sophomore album Epiphany is produced, written and arranged by T- Pain.

Fans of Gwen Stefani, Akon face off

http://konvict-muzik.chilli-online.net/index.php...


By Mike Osegueda
McClatchy Newspapers

Gwen Stefani is huge. There's no denying it.

Her name carries history (No Doubt, anybody?), success (20 million albums sold -- good enough?) and is even a brand (she peddles shoes, clothes and purses).

Yet, as her Sweet Escape tour continues, her name might not even be the biggest on the bill.

It's her opener (and recent collaborator) Akon who has a vice grip on the charts, with hits like "Smack That" and the recent chart topper, "Don't Matter." All told, he has had three No. 1 hits off his 2006 album "Konvicted."

His knack for oh-so-catchy hooks even gave Gwen a boost on her latest single, "The Sweet Escape."

So just who is bigger at the moment, Gwen or Akon? A Gwen fan and an Akon fan try to settle the argument.

Gwen Fan: I can't wait to see the fabulous Ms. Stefani live on stage.

Akon Fan: Umm, that's cool. I'm leaving after Akon is done.

GF: Akon?!? Oh, you mean the guy who sings backup for Gwen on her new single. Akon -- that's his name, huh? I just thought it was Seal Jr.

AF: You know who he is. He's the guy who finally helped Gwen break the 1 million sales mark on that new album of hers. That "Sound of Music" thing wasn't doing a whole heck of a lot. Except for making me gag.

GF: Oh, and you're one to talk? You like Akon. Or should I say A Con? He's a fake. Is he trying to bring back that Roger & Zapp voice effect? He sounds like a robot. As for that "Don't Matter" song, Bob Marley heard it and turned over in his grave.

AF: No, not a robot; more like a machine. Maybe you didn't notice that all three of the singles from his recent album -- "I Wanna Love You,""Smack That" and "Don't Matter" -- went to No. 1. And peep this: Those three songs have totaled 45 million plays on MySpace.

Mark that on your scorecard. 'Cause it's official.

GF: I'm supposed to be impressed that some 15-year-old with a MySpace account listened to Akon over and over and over and over and over for two weeks because "Don't Matter" was, like, her song with the guy she's crushing on?

You wanna talk real numbers? Between No Doubt and her solo albums, Gwen has sold 20 million records. We're talking people spending money to listen to her music, not just singing along to their MySpace.

AF: Yeah, but most of those sales came with No Doubt. That's not the Gwen we know today. Now she's trying to be some hip-hop diva.

Real talk: Without "Hollaback Girl" being as big as it was a couple years ago, she'd be Fergie.

GF: Oh, no, you did not say the F-word! First of all, Akon has just ridden the coattails of Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Young Jeezy onto the charts.

Is "Don't Matter" the only song he's ever done by himself?

And second, Fergie!?! That's a low blow. I know this is a heated debate, but I didn't go as low as to compare Akon to T-Pain. I'm not that rude.

AF: It's good that we can agree on the uselessness of Fergie and T-Pain. That's a start.

A Sexy Flashback: Chilli takes it off for Maxim Magazine

In the October 2005 issue of Maxim magazine Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas made countless male fans happy as she took it off and strip down to her swimsuits. All I said was, “what the hell took you so long,” it was about time she reminded the media why she was dubbed “Sexy,” in the R&B group TLC…



Three Alarm Chilli
The “sexy” piece of Crazy Sexy Cool TLC has come back from the death of band mate Lisa Lopes and the Usher breakup by starring in a UPN show and, um, not having sex. Yet.

Is your show, R U the Girl with T-Boz & Chilli, going to give us a revamped TLC? We’re not forming a new TLC. There will never be anybody new in our group to replace Lisa, ever. Whoever the winner is will get a chance to perform on a new single for our greatest hits record and perform with us live in concert.

How does yours differ from other reality shows? One thing you get to see is how silly T-Boz and I really are. We’ve been called the black Laverne and Shirley.

Have advisers ever tried to curtail that TLC attitude? When we first came out, [former manager] Pebbles used to tell us, “Y’all better not curse.” But for the most part we’ve always been outspoken. You could tell when we came out—we had condoms all over our clothes. The very first TV show we were supposed to do was In Living Color. It was huge back then. They asked us to take off our condoms, and we said, “No way.”

In Living Color dissed TLC? Can you believe that? Someone else might have backed down. “A’ight, this is In Living Color, so we should take off our condoms.” We were like, “Forget it.” I didn’t watch In Living Color for at least six months, I was so mad.

Among others acting roles, you’ve done House Party 3 and The Parkers. What was your least favorite role? I was on That ’70s Show as the sexy nurse. I like that show, but I hated my character. I was like, “I will never do anything like this again in my life. I feel crazy.” I can’t remember the guy’s name on the show, the little guy who looks like the dude from CHiPs?

Fez? Wilmer Valderrama? Yes! He was dreaming he was in the hospital, and I was the sexy nurse. I said yes before I saw the script. Then I was like, “Oh, what do I have to wear?” TLC’s always been sexy, but always tasteful. It’s never, like, slutty and just yech. And they had me in one of those little white dresses and white fishnet stockings.

Yeah, sounds awful. How upsetting was your public breakup with Usher and his subsequent Confessions CD? First of all, Confessions was not about our relationship. Period. I was in the studio with him when he recorded a lot of those songs, including “Confessions.” The only thing probably about me was a remix, way after the album was out.
Who are you going out with now?
I am so on the market, it’s crazy.

You hitting your hometown ATL clubs? Ooh, I’m not a club person. The club scene is boring. It’s like, “God, y’all still doing this?”

So where are you gonna hook up with someone? I’m hoping he’ll read this article and see the show and be like, “OK, I gotta find Chilli!”

What’s it going to take to land you? I’m so afraid to be in a relationship and have someone cheat on me. I don’t want anybody who’s gonna come up here and think we’re gonna be sexin’, ’cause, you know, I’m celibate. I’m not celibate just because I don’t have anybody in my life; it’s a spiritual thing.

How long have you been celibate? Since I’ve been away from Usher. That was my last boyfriend, so I haven’t been with anybody since. Guys wanna go out on dates, but I haven’t met anyone who’s blown me away.

Straight Jack - Chilli featuring Missy Elliot, Lyrics

http://www.chilli-online.net/lyrics...

Intro(Missy):
The sirens is letting off
Everybody up
(Hey!) Hey it's that new Chilli shit Baby
(Hey!) 2000 thousand's gonna be real sick baby
(Hey!) ATL, where she from
Whatcha gon' do
(Parrr-tayyy)
Then lets do it

Rewind selecta
What a grind to the top of it
We don't want them to get rowdy in here
(Hey!)
(Hey!) Selecta
(Hey!) Say it
(Hey!) Follow it
Them don't know (Hey!) about that new Chilli (Hey!)
Two thousand and SIX!

Verse 1(Chilli):
Woke up this morning' and I'm all alone
Wiped out my eyes and the TV's on
Looking at myself on a talk show
Asking me about some video
Talking about some rumor they heard
Got y'all believing like that's the word (what)
That's the word? (like that's the word)
Got me in love like Urkle the nerd
(Could it be I'm still in love)
Oh! could it be I'm still in love (ow!)

Chorus(2x):
You got me going straight jack boy
I can't help it
I can't shake it (oh no!)
Don't wanna make me
Don't make me (oh no!)

Verse 2:
Popping up at my home
Saying things you shouldn't say
Then it backfired in your face
Talking 'bout love but it don't mean nothing
Here we go at it again
Tried my best to hold on
Still you sing that same old song
But I don't wanna see your face no more, ow (come on)


Chorus(2x)

Verse 3: Missy
You can catch me in the A-(hey!) T-L (hey!)
Ridin' around with the (hey!) chrome on my grill (hey!)
Fresh lit dress like a (wwwooo) billion bills (hey!)
Got my straight jacket(hey!)
Shorty but chill (wwOoooo)
I be on the straight jack (hey!)
Tighter than some dress slacks (hey!)
Runnin' like some Ex-Lax (hey!)
Swinging like a ball bat (hey!)
You can get with this (hey!)
Or you can get with that (hey!)
Let 'em hit it once
Watch the shorty come back (wwwooo)
I wrote a song about it now
Do you wanna hear it boy
Trynna roll up on me
I don't wanna hear (hey!) it boy
Boy you just a lil' boy (hey!)
Trynna be a big boy
Yeah I'm a woman man
I ain't got no time for it (woooo)
Sing the chorus

Chorus(4x)

Oh No

Oh No

Oh No

Oh No

Oh No, oh No uummm

According to Earl Ray, (http://www.myspace.com/earlraykonvict), an upcoming Konvict Muzik artist, he wrote a song called "No Rings on These Fingers,” for Chilli’s upcoming album, in which he says; it should be a song for the clubs.

I this is accurate; the song title will definitely be an attention grabber. This information comes from a Q&A with Earl Ray at Chillifan.com, in which we are to “expect the unexpected from Chilli.”
