LA REID REGRETS DROPPING LADY GAGA TO SIGN BIEBER WHEN HE COULD HAVE HAD THEM BOTH. "HALF THE KING."

Music mogul Antonio 'L.A' Reid will always regret dropping Lady Gaga from his record label, branding it the "worst thing" he has ever done.

The X Factor judge signed the star up while she was still a struggling singer, but later dismissed her from his roster when he was "having a bad day".

The Poker Face hitmaker went on to sign with another label and shot to international stardom, and Reid admits he made a big mistake letting Gaga go.

He tells Access Hollywood, "This artist came to my office... she played piano, she had on white go-go boots - like, all the way up to here, thigh high boots - she sat down at that piano, she played and she sang. When she was done, I said, 'You are an amazing artist, a true star, and you will change music,' and I signed her. Her name was Lady Gaga. "Then, a few months later, I got her demos, and it was a work in progress, and I was having a bad day. I'm telling you, I was having a bad day. And I said, 'You know what? I really don't like it. Let her have her freedom, let her go find her career.' It was the worst thing I've ever done." However, a month later the former Island Def Jam Music Group chairman "redeemed" himself by signing teen sensation Justin Bieber. He adds, "I felt bad, but I swear to you, like a month later Justin Bieber came and redeemed me, so, you know, I survived it all. But I'm a little bit jealous, because the Twitter following, for example, the biggest ones are Bieber and Lady Gaga, so I would have felt like the king of the world! Instead I felt like half the king."

hustleGRL | Karla Moy's Blog » Blog Archive » Audio: Tika Simone – Do It When The Rest Won’t:

'via Blog this'

Congrats to Tika on her new single and much love on her music career. The fat girl from the MTV days says she has a skinny bitch inside so beware! Great club banger by the way. This single is hosted and produced by the best of the best DJ's P-Plus and Lisa Monet. HipHossip will be doing a sit down interview with her soon. Stay tuned.

RICK ROSS THREATENS KREAYSHAWN!

The Hip Hop Chronicle UK:

'via Blog this'

Read the story at the link but isn't this the same "Amy Winehouse lookalike" rapper that David Banner just slammed for using the "N" word? Same reason The Game threatened her too with an AK47 for using that word. So what's this double standard shyt all these rappers do. If u don't want a white girl using the word, then you stop too. SMH on black rappers.

SERENA BOOTY SHAKING IN DRAKE'S CONDO?

I hear this was actually filmed in Drake's condo! Serena needs to be in a music video so bad. Looks like Drake's a big fan of hers on that tweet below. Mmm..wonder who is holding the camcorder. The other day we caught Drake with Rihanna in a sextoy shop. She was shopping, Drake was waiting, then we caught Drake eating with Erykah Badu downtown Toronto "planning" her next rapper baby and possible collab.

So Drake, which one of these girls are you drilling? Serena or Rihanna. Tennis and red hair does not mix. All I see is a "man down" situation on the way. lol. Racquets and Guns! Sounds like the title of my first mixtape.

IS WIZ KHALIFA NOW A MARRIED MAN?

Seems like some photogs at http://iamsupergorge.com captured Wiz in a suit and Amber in a white dress over the weekend and speculations have gone out that they GOT MARRIED! Well, if that's the case CONGRATS! Do you know how long I have been promoting Wiz in the Warner bros days when they will send me posters, mixtapes and things? Something about Wiz and luck. That part is a long story but his music became stuck in 2 places where nobody will ever forget him. The Late Baltimore DJ Kay Swift had him as her fave playing on her MySpace and his posters were right behind me in my office during that Anti-Cam'Ron story in the Toronto Sun.

All these were unintentional and Wiz is about luck and I repeat LUCK! He's possibly gotten married over the weekend to the LOVELY Amber Rose. Pls don't even call her Kanye's EX! She's her own Philadelphia self and the haters will always pick on her. She's beautiful, witty and sexy. Amber has always talked about wanting babies right away and I can't wait for them to shell out a l'il baby Khalifa. He's coming to Toronto in 2 weeks. I wanna try and catch a show.

NEW AWESOME MUSIC: SCOTT SHARPE FEAT PATRICK CHRISTOPHER "BRIGHT LIGHTS."

Directed by G.Dot and produced by Young K, these two white rappers got next, are ahead and shutting down the hip-hop industry. Eminem, Yellawolf and Asher Roth may be applying for unemployment soon.

Scott Sharpe features Patrick Christopher in his new video and both mix the combo of hip-hop and R&B in this awesome mini music flick, good to the eyes and all fresh. It's called "Bright Lights." No drama, produced and directed by Young K and G.dot, done very well and should be a MuchMusic Countdown item. I Love the end where they see THEIR name in the bright lights and dreams do come true! Follow them all on twitter. Way to go guys!! Hard work pays!!
