In case you missed it Young Jeezy aired out his problems with DJ Drama in an upcoming issue of XXL and we posted it yesterday [click here], and now Drama lives up to his name and has fired back his side of the story:
After reading Jeezy’s unprovoked insults in that XXL article, it seems like the guy’s pretty emotional if u ask me! Maybe he’s dealing wit some things in his career, I don’t know. He did an interview a few months back with Elliot Wilson on rapradar.com and said the total opposite! He was talkin bout, “Drams the homie and we may work together again, etc”. Now I’ve never spoken on our issues because I believe grown man business is just that, and running to the media to whine is not my thing.
Most importantly, his statement about me trying to charge him $20k for a mixtape is a BOLD FACE LIE. I never charged Jeezy for nuthin’. I did 2 Slick Pulla tapes (4th Ward Day, Election Day) for free and a Bloodraw tape (The Indictment Papers) for free. Anything Jeezy ever needed from me, I did without hesitation. He doesn’t want to deal with the real reason why he’s mad.
The tension between us actually started when I deejayed his USDA release party (FOR FREE) and I played a Gucci Mane record. He stormed out of his own party and didn’t speak to me for about 2-3 months. Me being a DJ, I was just rockin’ the crowd and giving the people what they had been requesting. I don’t get involved in that other stuff.
I could go deeper into his angry reaction to me working with Gucci but, again, I’m a stand-up guy. I’m loyal to those who are loyal to me. I’m not even thinkin bout Jeezy. Why all the tough talk to the dj who doesn’t say nothin to him but he doesn’t say nothin tough to the rappers that diss him like Pimp C?
I was shocked by his cowardly attempt to try to slander my name in the upcoming XXL article. And what’s the most shocking is to see him side with the FEDs in my arrest! Wow, since when did that become gangster?!? I’m chillin, never said nuthin’ negative about dude. Check his character…or better yet, ask those around him that he’s done dirty. Ask the folks who ain’t with him anymore, like Coach K, Twin, his former security Big Sam, or my homie Roccett…
We doin’ our thing over here. I’m workin on albums, Gangsta Grillz Vol 3., traveling the world and celebrating success! And I’m still the Mixtape President!
Something tells me this isn’t the last we’ve heard from either of them about this…

Ja Rule has leaked his full The Mirror album, which was recorded about three years ago but never released. Below is his official statement and the tracklist is after the jump. Drop us a comment below and let us know if you think Rule’s still got it.
The album was leaked already so I’m really just putting it out there for the people who didn’t really get a chance to hear it, There’s some extra records on there that I put on there that I didn’t necessarily record for The Mirror and there are a couple of records that were recorded for The Mirror but didn’t leak. A lot of people didn’t hear a lot of the records, so if you’re not a die-hard Ja Rule fan, then you probably didn’t hear a lot of the records or not at all…You gotta understand, The Mirror was made almost three years ago now so there’s a couple of jabs on The Mirror, I ain’t gonna front.

In next months XXL Young Jeezy airs out his drama with DJ Drama.
Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled, but he didn’t want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his crew. The same niggas ain’t around him. You ain’t never been in no streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He’s a cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streets Iz Watchin, because they were selling and distributing them and making money.
I’m not hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that nigga for [contributing a verse to the song '5000 Ones,' on Drama’s official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal. But me putting my hands on that man ain’t gonna make him respect what I’m saying. I’m just not gonna fuck with him anymore.

More beef for Joe Budden, but this time he didn’t start it, really!
German rapper Eko Fresh has released a diss attacking Joe for not returning his emails. Apparently Eko paid Joe 14,000 Euro for a verse in 2003 and 40,000 Euro for a video for the song “Ich Will Dich.” No problem there, but now Eko recently sent Joe Budden an email hoping to work together again, thinking that their previous business would at least warrant a reply, but Joe totally ignored him.
So feeling rejected Eko Fresh took to dissing the rapper. I’ve posted the song below, and the original video clip for their previous colaboration, but both are in German. Apparently the diss throws generic shots at Joe, explains the situation, says all of Germany hates Joe Budden and that rap rivals like Saigon are better than him. Eko finishes the bitch session rap by schooling American’s on how to pronounce German car brands like “Maybach.”
If you haven’t watched it yet you really need to see part 1 first [click here] as the whole thing stems from Redman and Method Man talking about that Nas & Kelis situation. But in the below video Doc and Meth talk about marriages and prenups plus more.
