40 Cal is ready, J.D rebuilds

by FULLMETAL

WEDNESDAY MARCH 21, 2007

With numerous battles under his belt, including Cardi, Def Jams Sam Scarfo, and even himself, it was only a matter of time before Dipset member 40 Cal released the second part in his series, Broken Safety 2.

Going the Indie route, like many of his peers, the album will be done through respected company Babygrande. Fully confident in his set, and the brand that they have, he plans to take his signature complex metaphors and witty street logic, and go hard.

“The motto this year is I do it, I did it and I do it again,” says 40 Cal. “This brand is here and it ain’t goin’ no where. Diplomats is more than a label, we like blood.”

Not surprising, all of his fellow members will be appearing on the LP, including everyone from Camron to Hell Rell. He even is blessed with a feature from R&B crooner Akon. 40 has been patiently waiting for this for a long time. The market is ready for him, and he hopes to move some decent units with a solo venture.

With features on nearly all of the recently successful Dipset compilations, Cal hopes that this will translate into his heavy street fanbase supporting him. In others news, The newly appointed Urban music President of Island Records, Jermaine Dupri has called on his former Columbia artists, Jagged Edge, and has signed them to a new deal.
Sporting the classic So-So-Def label, J.E is preparing to release a new album this year, an immediate follow-up to their moderately successful album last year, with the hit “Stunners”. It debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts.

Dupri seems to be bulking up his label, as he also signed Cali-Bred artist Hot Dollar, who is currently working on his own Debut album.

These are big moves for Jermaine, who just last year stepped down from his position at Virgin Records, where he had considerable success with southern artists Dem Franchise Boyz, and Big Boi.

40 cal is nice, but a whole album of this nigga? Lol c’mon man he sounds the same every time I hear him, ..now Imagine 13 cut’s w/ this nigga on it. This is another certify Plastic album mark my words.

We can hate JD all we want, but the midget has made serious moves in this business, he’s like roach, he will always be around to bug us,...we can easily blame him for the francise boys, DL4 w/ all that snap music. Now watch him bring that shit to Def Jam,...i guess now we will never hear a Joe Budden album. Fuck JD

On the real, battle rappers and freestyle rappers like 40 cal and Millz, Writer, all these niggas are nice, but theres a difference between rappin and spittin metaphors on the freestyle tip, and trying to fit your lyrics into 16 bars, then spittin a chorus or hook, makin a bridge, etc. I dont think 40 cal lacks any lyrics, but I dont think anybody really wants to hear 15-16 cuts of this nigga.....Id much rather hear him freestyle, thats where I think he's at his best....

40 cal gonna go double wood like the rest of the dipset nightmare but I will say that 40 got a hell of a freestyle flow. He's gonna need an image makeover to make real waves in the game.
Iceberg said it, you can't get rid of JD that little dude gonna be around for a long time cause he keep finding new ways to package garbage and sell it to the masses. No bullshit but the Life in 1472 (or whatever year it was) was bumped only cause it had Jay and Nas and bunch of other guest appearances.

^^^^^
life in 1472 Is a Hot album, I wont front, the Nas joint is crazy, Plus money ain’t a think Jay str8t murders that track. Can’t forget the DMX & Mad Rapper joint,...aaaaaw man, why can’t JD package some shit like that no more?
But like Jay said “ That's a one hot album every ten year average
And that's so - LAAAAAAAME!”

That’s real shit, Cassidy had a problem doing that on his first album. I don’t think 40 Cal gonna get the formula to the next album he probably puts out. It’s gonna be like 4 or 5 good songs on that album though.
