HSK Exclusive - The scent of Indie Power may be nothing more than a con-man’s smelly feet! That’s because sources say even though the CEO of Indie Power, Jay Warsinske, takes the credit for marketing and breaking acts such as Dr. Dre, U2, Tupac, Metallica, Snoop Dogg, Black Eyed Peas, Lil Wayen, Guns N’ Roses, Eminem, Madonna, T.I., Ramones, AC/DC, Green Day, N.W.A, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana – he didn’t exactly break a sweat for his success.

So, what exactly did Warsinske do? We’re told he played couch potato, at his house with wet smelly feet. Don’t believe me.. Ask Kool Keith

Word from the streets… 50 Cent has reportedly offered a solo recording contract to Mobb Deep’s Prodigy. Sources say 50 didn’t extend the invitation into G-Unit to Havoc because of the rapper’s raging alcohol addiction.

Here’s the drop:

“While Prodigy was locked up, 50 Cent came to visit him a couple times. During one of those visits 50 said, ‘Listen, man, when you come home I wanna sign you as a solo artist. I’m gonna give you a $500,000 advance, but I’m not fuckin’ with Havoc because Havoc has been dealin’ with alcohol issues for years. Since you’ve been in jail, he’s checked in to rehab a few times.” Continue Reading…

Katt Stacks has openly admitted to helping to concoct Soulja Boy’s phony cocaine-sniffing session (you know, the one that went viral a long time ago).

Now, insiders say Stacks didn’t play alone. That’s because Ms. Stacks was reportedly taking her cues from World Star Hip Hop who had created her character in order to promote a soon to be released book, under the WorldStar imprint. Don’t believe me.. Ask Adrian Miller.

Here’s what a source had to say about it all: Continue Reading…

Hip hop has become so commercial that people like Dr Dre are making more money from selling headphones and Dr Pepper sodas than making music.

That’s exactly why Dre doesn’t give a shit about his next album ‘Detox’. Don’t believe me.. Ask Jimmy Iovine.

Another example is P Diddy who, like Dre, is in the music business – but nowadays the hip hop mogul uses new artists for the sole purposes of helping to sell more Ciroc vodka. Don’t believe me.. Ask Frenchie Montana.

Just last week, at Austin, Texas’ South by Southwest music conference attendees witnessed Snoop Dogg so high out of his mind that he was advertising sour cream and onion Doritos chips. Don’t believe me.. Ask George Clinton.

Here’s what an insider had to say about the siting: Continue Reading…

Many of today’s singers and rapper think they are true artists (going as far as to claim they are the greatest), yet time and time again they perform with prerecorded track vocals. Don’t believe me.. Ask Jay Z or 50 Cent.

That’s exactly why Jeremih was recently pelted with drinks, during the pop singer’s spring break performance in Texas. It’s evident the crowd wasn’t in the mood for a lip sync act — but, what did they really expect?

Here’s what Jeremih had to say about the incident: Continue Reading…

Cash Money Records is under fire from EMI Records, after the company built up a debt of $491,000 for sampling music from their catalog. Know why? Because back in 2009 Cash Money Records’ settled with EMI in court and agreed on quarterly royalty payments. Don’t believe me.. Ask Roger Faxon.

Here’s the press EMI is releasing about Cash Money Records:

“Because Defendant has ignored numerous communications from EMI regarding Defendant’s contractual obligations, EMI once more is being forced to commence a lawsuit against Defendant to recover royalty payments. Continue Reading…

Recently Nicki Minaj banned Safaree from her video shoot in Hawaii and guess what–Sarfaree is threatening to leave and tell what’s going on behind the scenes. Know why? Because Sarfaree writes 90% of Nicki’s raps and he didn’t sign a confidentiality agreement. Don’t believe me.. Ask Bryant “Birdman” Williams.

Here’s what someone in the know told me:

“Safaree writes most of Nicki’s lyrics. He writes the words and she adds the animation. That’s why she lets him beat her ass and then buys him whatever he wants when they about to break up. SB has too much information about her that she doesn’t want exposed, that’s why she keeps him. Continue Reading…
