Making news for the wrong reasons today is Dee-1 who got his upcoming mixtape Separated At Birth banned. That's right...Cash Money Records BANNED a MIXTAPE.
What's this world coming to?
The highly anticipated project was meant for the New Orleans rapper to flip popular Lil Wayne beats and to turn them into socially conscious songs. With several threats and a cease and desist letter coming in the mail, Dee-1 had to withdraw Separated At Birth which was supposed to be released today. For more on the topic head on over to HipHopDX and check out what Dee-1 had to say about everything below.
“I’d like to apologize to all the fans. This is a project that was needed in hip hop and i was excited to give it to you all. All i can say is that 1. this industry is truly crazy smh, 2. some bold actions have taken place behind the scenes, and 3. some people fear what the truth sounds like. Trust me, if no one threatened legal recourse, I would still drop it because I worked hard on this and i think this music would bless all who hear it, and add a much-needed perspective to hip hop. The topic of my personal safety was also brought up to be honest, but truthfully God has me covered so I was neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever worried about that. Until further notice, the#SeparatedAtBirth mixtape has been BANNED. Unfortunately, i need for orangemixtapes.com to not post the mixtape as of now until things clear up. Sorry for the wait.”
