Meet Gizzle, the Ty Dolla $ign's queer female writing partner, who's also written for Travis Scott, Kevin Gates, T.I., Snoop Dogg, Boosie, B.o.B, Diddy, G-Eazy, Iggy Azalea, & LIl Yachty

Posted: 08 Nov 2019 11:23 AM PST

Y'all made have heard of Gizzle from "Jump" by Lupe Fiasco, but she's a pretty great rapper in her own right. She's also a ghostwriter and butch lesbian, which is cool.

Here's a summary of this P4k interview

She first got a writing gig from Nelly and Ma$e's manager for his new signee, B2K boy bander Lil Fizz, who was striking out on his own. Gizzle had never written for another artist before, but she rose to the occasion and even penned Fizz's local hit "Beds" on a bus ride.

Gizzle's first major placement and credited work came under the auspices of her early mentor, legendary producer Teddy Riley, who is her god-brother's father. Riley had been tapped to help produce Snoop Dogg's 2008 album Ego Trippin' and asked Gizzle to help write songs for it.

"Back then, there were no girls writing for boys," she recalls. "I wrote full songs that Snoop rapped word-for-word." Riley was drawn to Gizzle due to her unique ability to not only execute but also to conceptualize—a rare talent. "I've witnessed Snoop Dogg say, 'Lady G what would you do? What's your take on this?'" says Riley over the phone. "Most writers just write about what they're told to write about, but she comes up with the concept. That's how Pharrell was."

Diddy: "She's a one-of-one. If you're trying to do the same thing everybody else is doing, it's probably not the best use of her time. You need that unique type of perspective, especially if you're trying to do something that's going to shake the game up."

Ty$, who has worked with Gizzle since 2008, is drawn to her open-mindedness and versatility as a writing partner. "She can talk about anything," he says. "I fuck with her on every level when it comes to writing. She's just not afraid to say shit." Though she's one of just a handful of women writing for men in hip-hop, for Ty$, her identity as a queer woman is an advantage: "You know she gets both sides 'cause Gizzle got bitches too!"

And interpreting a rapper or singer's creative goal means taking an immersive approach: "I'll be over here talking with them, and then actually hanging out and partying with them and knowing exactly what they on." Though she's written complete songs for artists, she makes it clear that she often plays a smaller role in a song's creation. "If I work on a song with T.I. or Kanye or Jay Z, don't think I'm writing these mans' raps!"

For Gizzle, a songwriter need not be the one who comes up with all the lyrics and melody by herself. In the studio with clients, she moves between the roles of writer, coach, editor, idea person, and the one who simply sets the mood for optimal creativity. "I'll do whatever my role calls for me to do," she says. "So if that's just coming through with the ambiance or giving my support, like, 'That shit's hard' or 'You can do that shit better,' I'm into all of that." Most great things are the result of a concerted effort, and songs are no different: "People can't be narrow-minded about what the actual process is—there are very few hit songs where you only see one or two names in the credits."

From a Pitchfork interview:

Gizzle attributes this shift, in part, to the era of transparency we live in today. "Something that's supposed to be a flaw about you is becoming the positive now," says the rapper, who came out when she was 15. "People in general are craving individuality and authenticity." For her part, Gizzle isn't interested in crusading to make hip-hop more socially progressive; a more inclusive landscape will be the byproduct of her success. She plans to win not by argument but by action.

One of the songs she's working on is written from the perspective of her 15-year-old self. She's petitioning a local dope dealer to put her on: "Dope man, can I ride in your Murciélago?/While your eyes low/I'ma keep watch for 5-0/Just drive slow/Let me take a toke then show me the ropes." Back then, she was tempted by the street life that some of her friends, and even her father, a Rollin' 60s Crip, were involved in. "I wanted to do the same shit everybody else was doing, selling drugs and all that," she explains. "I tried to do it a little bit but I couldn't really go far in it, because the older people wouldn't let me in." That elder class of hustlers always saw something bigger and better for the gregarious young woman with the outsize personality and a gift for rhyming. Deep down, she saw more for herself too.

She's written on:

Ty Dolla $ign

B.o.B

Diddy

Boosie

Snoop

Kevin

G-Eazy

Ray J is in secret talks with Trump Administration over potential pardoning of convicted killer and rapper Suge Knight - following the reality star's criminal justice reform efforts

Posted: 08 Nov 2019 09:43 AM PST

Daily Mail article

Suge Knight reportedly signed is life rights to Ray J 18 days ago

'He saw what Kim was able to do with her work in the criminal justice system and he is determined to show he can do the same' according to a source

He wants to meet with Trump at the White House but the admin has been pushing for the entertainer to join the president on the road, they invited him to fly with Trump on Air Force One to rallies in Lake Charles, La. or Dallas earlier this month but had scheduling conflicts

Suge Knight is currently serving time for killing Terry Carter in a hit-and-run in 2015. He would've gotten 11 years if it weren't for California's three-strikes law.

[DISCUSSION] Ja Rule - R.U.L.E. (15 Years Later)

Posted: 08 Nov 2019 08:14 PM PST

On November 9th 2004 Ja Rule released his sixth album R.U.L.E.

To say Ja Rule has been through some controversy over the years would be an understatement. It's also a well known story that does not need to be told again. Ja Rule went back to the basics with this album, for him that means making records that sell. Rule shows he is still hungry on "The Last of the Mohicans", while Black Child delivers an on point chorus. R Kelly and Ashanti hook up with Ja Rule on the commercial single and chart hit "Wonderful". The albums other single which features Jadakiss and Fat Joe is the hit "New York" which did blow up at the time. Rule sings well on the smooth laidback "Manuel". First track I have no caring for is "Get It Started" feat. Ciara. R&B singer Lloyd drops in for "Caught Up" a semi-decent track which may be more appreciated by R&B fans. Things pick up again with the standout "Gun Talk", feeling the lyrics and beat to this cut. Ja Rule then hooks up with Giselle on "Never Thought", a decent collaboration. Ja Rule, Trick Daddy and Chink Santana pay tribute to those who have died on the impressive "Life Goes On". "Where I'm From" is an excellent track, Ja Rule goes deep talking about the ghetto, poverty, prison and death, while Lloyd provides a memorable chorus. The albums closer and longest track is the 8 minute "Passion", a track where Rule reflects on the events of the past year, delivering a powerful chorus while finishing his track by doing shout outs and giving thanks. I think Ja Rule succeeded in delivering a solid album, following the formula of some of his early albums, I find this album to be step up from his past commercial releases (Pain is Love, Rule 3:36, Last Temptation). My favourite tracks are "New York", "Gun Talk" and "Where I'm from". By an artist's sixth album people should know what they feel about his work, I recommend R.U.L.E to those who appreciate his music.

Why are your thoughts on this album?

How does it hold up 15 years later?

How does it compare to his other albums?

Favorite tracks?
