I noticed that the Twitter accounts of James Cruz, one of Diddy's managers, and Ciroc Nation had both retweeted a tweet from the account of Roe Williams, which said that Ne-Yo and Rick Ross were on the set of something today.
I opened that account and the previous tweet that Ms. Williams had sent said that T.I. was taping his scenes for "Hello Good Morning" today. Meanwhile, O'Neal McKnight, the singer, former assistant to Diddy and cousin to Andre Harrell, tweeted that he was on his way to the Diddy and T.I. shoot.
James Cruz, one of the people responsible for managing Diddy, sent out an interesting tweet this evening where he said that Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" was "coming June 28."
June 28 is a Monday. Generally speaking, albums are released on Tuesdays. But, with major releases, you sometimes see them moved to Friday, or another day, in order to coordinate with the release date in other countries (one reason this is done is to lessen the impact of piracy caused by an album being released in one major country before the others).
I sent him a message asking for clarification and he replied quickly. "We have something special happening," he wrote. "You'll see." Stay tuned.
According to MTV UK, Diddy has revealed that U.K. rappers Tinie Tempah and Tinchy Stryder will be featured "one of the U.K. remixes" to Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning," which is a hint that there is more than one U.K. remix on the way.
Diddy was careful to say that the remix with Tempah and Stryder would be separate from the grime remix he wants to work with Skepta on. Tempah is riding the wave of a big hit in "Pass Out," which debuted at number 1 on the U.K. Singles chart (think Hot 100 for the U.S.) on March 13 and held the spot for the following week, as well.
Earlier this week, we reported that Diddy was planning a grime remix of Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" and that he had talked to U.K. producer and rapper Skepta about doing it.
Diddy opened up to MTV UK about these plans, saying that he wants Skepta to do a "straight, dirty, authentic grime remix" and Diddy wants to fully remix and redo the track, including the vocals and the beats.
According to Tom Shales of the Washington Post and ScrippsNews, Diddy is one of the celebrities who loaned their voices to "America: The Story of Us," a new 12 hour, six day series on the history of the United States, airing on the History channel. It premieres on Sunday at 9 PM ET.
When I first heard "Hello Good Morning," I thought that the track was going to be a great fit for dance remixes. Well, here's the first one to be released as production duo The Disco Fries has put their own spin on it. Check it out in our audio player.
On Twitter, Diddy sent the following message to DJ Khaled:
Just finished ALL I DO IS WIN remix! MOVIE! GETCHA POPCORN! EXTRA BUTTER! NO SALT! LOL....LETS GO!
Khaled them retweeted Diddy's message on his own Twitter stream.
"All I Do is Win" is the latest single from Khaled's "Victory" album, featuring T-Pain, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross.
57theave has some pictures from the "Hello Good Morning" music video shoot in Los Angeles last weekend. Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz are featured in the photos, along with Dirty Money.
As expected, Diddy and The Hitmen have advanced to the second round of Vibe's "The Greatest Hip-Hop Producer of All Time!" tournament. They received 88% of the vote in their first round match-up with Herbie Luv Bug. Only Dr. Dre (91% over DJ Toomp), Kanye West (91% over The Heatmakerz) and Timbaland (89% over Polow Da Don) held a wider margin of victory in all of the 32 matches.
Next up, they will face Teddy Riley, one of Diddy's mentors, who advanced over Kay Gee, 71% to 29%. As I said last round, I don't see how one man can be expected to match up with a team as large as The Hitmen. Riley has done amazing things, but against all of The Hitmen? I just don't see it.
Interestingly, I noticed that Vibe has removed Steve "Rhythm" Clarke from their list of The Hitmen. I had mentioned earlier that I had never heard him mentioned as one of The Hitmen.
But, they also removed Chucky Thompson and Daven "Prestige" Vanderpool, who were both definitely part of The Hitmen as well as Harve "Joe Hooker" Pierre and added Buckwild which, according to his MySpace is accurate. I'm unclear on if Harve Pierre was actually signed to Bad Boy as a producer.
That confusion aside, you can now vote on the Vibe website. If Diddy and The Hitmen advance, the next round will start on April 26.
