Big Chief signs with Cash Money Records
Dallas, TX rapper Big Chief will join Birdman and Lil Wayne as the latest signee to Cash Money Records.
From Cory Gunz to DJ Khaled, Cash Money Records have been on a warpath when it comes to acquiring artists. Now, Dallas, TX emcee Big Chief will the join the ranks of Birdman and Lil Wayne as one of the legendary label's newly recruited acts.
Big Chief recently explained to AllHipHop.com the origins of his recent signing. He said that Dallas's K104 Radio DJ Hollywood Bay Bay introduced Cash Money head honcho Birdman to Chief's recent hit single "Triple D Anthem" during a radio interview. Baby was apparently so impressed with the Dorrough and Bay Bay-assisted song that he tracked down Chief and signed him.
"I mean actually, [Birdman] was doing an interview at K104 with Bay Bay and he asked who was the hottest kid out here, he said he wanted to change someone's life," said Chief. "He said play some Big Chief, Bay Bay played my new joint ["Triple D Anthem"], and when he did that he stopped the music and said tell lil’ homie to get at me."
Big Chief, who is currently preparing his upcoming mixtape Eat Greedy Vol. 12 for a March release, said that he's ecstatic to join the illustrious label. He says that he hopes to put Dallas on the map as a new entity for Hip Hop music.
“The main objective is to put on for my whole city," he explained. "Not taking away from those that came before me, but this is a whole new level."

Dallas Commissioner John Wiley Price Doesn't Owe Any Apology
The above link will take you to a video courtesy of CBS 11 News. Doug Dunbar and Karen Borta are reporting on a story that took place in the Dallas County Commissioner's Court yesterday. They take the viewers to Andrea Lucia who is standing out in front of the Nasher Center where she attempted to speak to Commissioner John Wiley Price about the outburst after County Speaker Jeff Turner offended the Commisioner. She chose her words carefully and you can tell by her mannerisms and facial expression that she did not have a fun time in talking with the Commish after he said to her, "The word moolah is racist. What part of that do you not understand?" She argued that Speaker Turner did not mean it how it was taken. Commisioner Price retorted, "Oh so I suppose if he said "nigger" but didn't mean it "that way", then it'd be ok." The incident in question happened after County Speaker Jeff Turner referred to the Commissioner as "The Chief Moolah of Dallas" numerous times. The Commissioner eventually snapped back saying "If you want to refer to me, call me by my name." My sources with the city tell me that when the County Speaker attempted to defend his name calling, Commisioner Price told him angrily that "moolah" was a racist term. Upon hearing the word "racist" used in court, the all white crowd gasped. Many were confused as to why Commisioner Price had become so upset all of a sudden. He addressed the courtroom by saying "You all are white." as if to confirm that they were not aware of the magnitude of what was just said. Commisioner Price looked back at Speaker Turner and told him "You go to hell." Speaker Turner later attempted to defend his use of the word by insisting that he intended to compare Commisioner Price to a "mullah" or "educated muslim warlord" by his understanding of the word. A Mullah is actually a Muslim scholar, teacher, or religious leader: also used as a title of respect. Speaker Turner was using the word in a condescending manner which would be disrespectful to Muslim. Commissioner Price released a statement citing that "Moolah has its roots in a slang used against Italian immigrants and later used by the same (group) to defame and discredit African-Americans". Obviously, Commissioner Price is referring to the slang word "moulie", a bastardized version of "moulignon", which is an offensive word for a black person, used by Italians in US. It is a corruption of melanzane, the Italian word for eggplant." http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Moolie

Was Dorrough a victim of profiling by "rap police"?
DEA agents raided the home of rapper Dorrough a week ago on suspicion of drug dealing. The rapper was subsequently arrested February 8th in Dallas, Texas. Reports indicate, however, that no drugs or weapons were found on the rapper or in his home.
"Dorrough has obtained powerful counsel and one of his attorneys is a Senator," an unnamed source told AllHipHop. "Dorrough will make a formal statement with plans to clear his name later this week."
A spokesperson on behalf of Dorrough music states, “All they found were gold & platinum plaques (‘Ice Cream Paint Job’ sales) on the walls. Dorrough is anxious to get back in the studio to work and make more hits.”
Dorrough has an up-and-coming hip hop career, with hit singles "Walk That Walk", "Ice Cream Paint Job" and "Get Big." all charting in the US. He's also been featured in several hip hop publications, most notably XXL.
Julia Beverly of Ozone Magazine said, "While it wouldn’t be unheard of for a rapper to be funding their music career with drug proceeds, Dorrough’s business savvy has always impressed me and he comes across like a professional, not a dope boy. Since the raid turned up no evidence, it seems like the Hip Hop police might be reaching with this one."
I agree with JB. Dorrough isn't that dude. I can't claim to know him well but in my encounters with him from various shows and parties that we've done at the same venues, he doesn't strike me as the "dope boy" type. He's got his head on straight and too much to lose to go the Lil Boosie route. He's also smart at marketing himself and never missing an opportunity to promote a big project. He used a "leaked" sex tape to promote his single "Get Big" and this DEA raid is a perfect opportunity to promote his new "Code Red" Gangsta Grillz Mixtape with Dj Drama. How appropriate.

The D.O.C. blasts N.W.A.!
''They Didn't Want Me There...''
1:00PM ET February 10th, 2011

Former Ruthless and Death Row Records rapper/ghostwriter The D.O.C. has announced that he will be releasing a tell-all documentary about his tenure at both labels. D.O.C. became one of the most respected names in West Coast hip hop (though he is actually from Dallas, TX) through his connections with N.W.A. and his critically-acclaimed Dr. Dre-produced solo debut No One Can Do It Better. But somewhere along the line, things went sour for D.O.C. and he and Dre parted ways. Now, the rapper is telling his version of what really happened.
"Whenever these guys did interviews, whenever they took pictures, whenever they did videos, they went out of they way not to let me in ‘em," D.O.C. told HipHopDX. "If you go back you’ll never see me in none of ‘em. They wouldn’t let me in ‘em. They didn’t want me there, I think because they didn’t want muthafuckas to know that they wasn’t writing they own shitt. If you go back to they old interviews, [when] the interviewers would ask them muthafuckas questions they would look fuckin’ dumbfounded. Because, the questions that they were asking the muthafuckas was about lyrics that I wrote for ‘em. Only Cube really understood I think what the aim was. Dre did sonically. But Cube understood what we was trying to aim for. That’s why his subsequent albums were in that same vein."
D.O.C. also ghostwrote much of Dr. Dre's material for his 1992 classic The Chronic.
"For me, it’s not really about the negative aspects of the story," D.O.C. said. "What happened to me, you know, boo hoo, that was for Doc [to go through]. I just think the story is really neat. I think it makes a really cool story. [But] if you’re gonna tell it, tell that bitch right."
