Devon Harris makes it to the all-star game

Hopefully this boost his confidence up and helps get the Nets to the playoffs but lets see.

Happy kid today, and he deserves to be.

"Obviously I'm excited. It's a big accomplishment," Devin Harris, who didn't even bother to apply his usual poker face. "I worked very hard to get there. I'm happy. The coaches, I have to thank them for voting me in and recognizing all the hard work. (But the buzz) only lasts for a little while, because we have five games before the break and we have to get back on track."

Saigon Denies Squashing The Beef With Joe Budden, “That’s Totally Bullshit”

Looks like the twitter post Just Blaze made yesterday was false. The beef continues!! Which makes going to this show tonigh a lot more interesting. Will Joe respond? XXL caught up with Sai to find out whats really going on. Check out the article below.

With the net buzzing with reports that Saigon and Joe Budden have squashed their escalating beef, XXLmag.com got in touch with The Yardfather to find out the details. Problem is Sai says that never happened.

When asked to confirm whether or not he got on the phone with Budden, Sai denied everything that Just Blaze wrote on his twitter account last night. “Nah that’s what Just Blaze wants to happen in his heart,” he said. “I don’t know where he got that information from but that’s totally bullshit.“

In fact Sai thinks Blaze said that to cool things down. “I don’t know where that came from,” he explained. “For a while you know Just been trying to squash that shit cause he understands what it can turn in to. He just doesn’t wannsa see it go past –you know just being around me and a lot of my people – and he doesn’t wanna see it go anywhere other than wax. And he knows that’s very, very, very likely gonna happen.”

As of press time Just Blaze has not retunred any emails.

As XXL reported yesterday, Budden will be performing tonight at S.O.B.’s as a part of the newly formed supergroup Slaughterhouse. While Sai is cool with the rest of the crew – which consists of Joell Ortiz, Royce da 5’9” and Crooked I, he says he will not be going to the show. “There’s really no need to be there, “ he said. “I would love to see the show as a hip-hop fan – they all talented people - I wanna see what they can come up with, but with that other shit that’s not gonna happen.”

“We wanna see what Joey’s gonna do,” he added, “Cause he claims he’s gonna go there and do something. He’s gonna put his foot in my ass or whatever – so I don’t know where this phone shit came from.”

Sai announced on his last diss track “Pushin Buddens,” which was released earlier this week, that he’s done with adding fuel to the fire, but admitted to XXL that he will keep on putting out records if he has to. “To tell you the truth I don’t want to but you know know that shit is getting fun, ’cause I don’t really battle but it’s fun now – now i’ll come back 10 times stronger than I came,” he said about putting out another track. “So if his shit ain’t 10 times stronger that that ‘Pain in his Life‘ – which I know he can’t make a better record than that – if he can make a better record that than shit, he’s good, then I gotta step my shit up and do it again.”

Sai’s new mixtape, Warning Shots 2, is slated to hit the streets in April with production by Just Blaze, Scram Jones, Bucwild and himself. – Jesse Gissen

Disco D was a person who made a great impact in my life and was one of the most genuine people I've ever met. As long as I continue to do music I will keep his name and memory alive.

Kyambo "Hip Hop" Joshua gets cut from Columbia

Check out the story below from Billboard.biz. I wonder if this will effect Jim Jones up-coming project.

By Ed Christman, N.Y.

Sony Music Entertainment began cutting staff today (Jan. 15), with the process expected to be completed tomorrow, sources tell Billboard.biz.

At deadline, at least 30 people had been cut from the company's two distribution companies: Sony Global Digital Business and U.S. Sales, and RED.

At the major distribution company, those cut from the staff included senior VP of sales Colin Willis, director of western region sales Laurel Polson and director of eastern region sales John Hawn, according to sources.

Additionally, Sony's Columbia Records has laid off several of its staff members, including president of urban music Kyambo "Hip Hop" Joshua and urban marketing executive Al Branch. Several regional promotional staff members have also been let go.

It is unclear who will follow Joshua to guide Columbia's urban department,
or who will handle the projects of Jim Jones and the Clipse. Both artists were signed by Joshua.

Meanwhile, the bulk of the layoffs occurred at the major label distribution company, with RED's body count reduced by about eight staffers, sources add.

Sony Music Entertainment representatives declined comment.

Jay-Z Brooklyn Born,New Jersey Raised...

Well, he wasn't raised in Jersey but his hustler mentality was. East Trenton to be exact. Check out this excerpt below from Hiphopdx's interview with Dehaven, Jay-Z's old friend.


HipHopDX: I want to rewind it to the very beginning. Who was De-Haven in 1988? Because obviously, that's the timeline that we've gotten on the rap side of things.
De-Haven: De-Haven was a young hustler that was making major moves out on the streets doing my own thing; holding down family and friends wherever I found myself. De-Haven was about money. If it didn't make money, it didn't make sense. De-Haven was chasing money across state lines in '88, going for that double or nothing type money. It wasn't a game. I had moved out of state, [to] Trenton, New Jersey, and it was poppin' like hot butter on popcorn. A couple months later, I came back for [Jay-Z], I let him know that it was all good, and he came out. My aunt was good people, and before you knew it, Jay never went back home. [At this point,] I had my homeboy with me, you couldn't tell me nothing. Money was coming, chicks everywhere, and the road ahead was alright. Check out the rest of the interview here
