Static's ASCAP page

http://staticmajordiscography.blogspot.com/2010/11/statics-ascap-page.html Here is a list of songs that we've heard using the songs that are registered on ASCAP. Remember though, Static had like 4000 songs and a lot of them aren't registered.

More cassettes found

Looks like there will be more surprises coming our way. Neeze has found a couple of tapes himself. No one knows for sure what is exactly in these tapes, but let's hope it's more music!

Static to appear on R&B singer Jarvis' new album

ATLANTA, GA –As his business presence in the world of entertainment continues to expand, DJ Khaled is proud to announce the latest addition to his We The Best Music Group imprint. Khaled, who pulls double duty as president of Def Jam South, has recruited Atlanta based singer Jarvis as the next star to emerge from the We The Best machine, and the label's first R&B act. While Jarvis is a newcomer to Khaled's label and he will not be such a novelty to R&B fans. The 21-year-old, gifted with a voice rich and controlled beyond his years, was first introduced to the world six years ago with the release of his debut single "Radio." Released on So So Def in 2004, the single not only grabbed the attention of fans, it also put the industry on notice of what mogul Jermaine Dupri had noticed: R&B's next big star had been discovered. While music business politics have delayed Jarvis's emergence into the public, he has used his journey, which also included a stin...

Complex Magazine's Top 25 Timbaland songs of all time

In anticipation of the 2010 VH1 Hip Hop Honors: The Dirty South, which airs on June 7, Complex and Miss Info have teamed with the network to celebrate this year's honorees with exclusive coverage. http://www.complex.com/blog_galleries/the-25-greatest-timbaland-songs-of-all-time And as we already know, Static and Timbaland were very closely together on a lot of Timbaland's biggest hits. So let's find out which Static tracks made the cut. #25: Cee-Lo f/ Timbaland "I'll Be Around" #24: SWV f/ Missy Elliott "Can We" #23: Young Jeezy "3 A.M." #22: Missy Elliott f/ Eve, Nas & Q-Tip "Hot Boyz (Remix)" #21: Ginuwine "What's So Different?" #20: Aaliyah "We Need A Resolution" To say Aaliyah and Timbaland found a formula and ran with it would be an understatement. "Resolution," of clanging bottles and blame games, bears quite a few of structural similarities to both "Are You That Somebody" and ...

Jim Jonsin Sues Lil Wayne For $500,000 over Lollipop?

Found this on another website and figured I would post it here as it semi relates to Static... http://www.lilwaynehq.com/2010/04/22/jim-jonsin-sues-lil-wayne-for-500000/ Last year, Lil Wayne got hit with a lawsuit for one of his tracks that leaked called “I Feel Like Dying“, because of a sample clearance problem. Then in April last year, Wayne sued Jim Jonsin who was the producer of the beat saying that it was his job to make sure they had the rights to use the sample. Now, Jim Jonsin has filed a $500,000 lawsuit against Weezy over his hit single – “Lollipop“. Jim, who is the producer of “Lollipop” and helped write the track is saying that Wayne hasn’t paid anything in royalties for his work on the song that went to number one in the USA. I really don’t know why Jim Jonsin is only just filing this lawsuit though… like why has it took him so long :?: Also, it looks like Lil Wayne is getting sued for most of Tha Carter III album singles. First it was “Mrs. Officer“, then “Got Money“, and...

Ginuwine/Static news...

So I'm sure you guys have read the interview Ginuwine did with Vibe Magazine where he discussed his falling out with Timbaland. A lot of it is probably true, but I should also mention that Ginuwine is currently working on a new album so this may be used for publicity. Whatever the case is, Ginuwine's new album entitled "Elgin" will be executively produced by Bryan Michael Cox, who has been in some controversary with us Static fans. He has denied ever working with Ahmad Belvin on that awful "For A Long Time" remake and I'll give him the benefift of the doubt...for now. Anyways, I came across his blog today and he talked a bit about Ginuwine's next album. http://firstofdecember.com/2010/04/17/in-the-studio-ginuwine/ I am currently Executive Producing Ginuwine’s upcoming album. I am very excited about this project. We have some incredible songs on deck already. I have been writing with my mentor Greg Curtis, my cousins Wyldcard & DL2, Adonis, Rico L...

Christmas Mixtape Update

For those that don't know, we're planning on putting together a mixtape... Stay tuned people :) Update #1: I can confirm to everyone these tracks will be on the mixtape: Slow Jams (CDQ) and the full version of Questions. Check back later as I will be updating this. Update #2: Jodeci and Timbaland lovers don't have to worry because there will be something for you guys as well. Update #3: Let's talk about sex baby, let's talk about you and me. Update #4: Dem Playa Boys will be on the mixtape of course. Update #5: Here is the album cover (shout out to Luke!) Update #6: Got a lot more material from Neeze than expected. We're redoing the tracklist.

Suppertime Tracklist

This could be possibly change by the time the album drops, but this is what it looks like right now. Tracklist: All The Way To Heaven Bus Stop Breezy feat. Goodfella & Native Fire Flashback For A Long Time I Got My feat. Lil Wayne Lush Miracles My Lady Speed Of Light Wish I Knew You Then I'm not that happy with the tracklist, mainly because they left out a lot of fan-favourite tracks like "Infatuated", "Coffee In Da Morning" and "Private Number". I can also tell you exclusively on the blog that "Wish I Knew You Then" will feature a special guest. Stay tuned!

Music: Playa - We'll Meet Again

This is one of the rarest known Timbaland produced songs out there. It was sort of like a myth to a lot of people because we all knew it existed, but we just didn't know if it was ever going to come out. From the interview with Neeze , he told us Static wanted to keep this joint and put it on his Suppertime album. It definitely sounds like this was one of Static's favourite joints and it's one of my favourites too. Let's take this moment to not only remember Playa's great music, but also remember when Timbaland actually made Hip-Hop beats. If you haven't read it by now, Timbaland is retiring from making Hip-Hop music. And some Static news for everyone, "All The Way To Heaven" is slated for a Late-January release. Check back soon for the tracklist.

Suppertime Update

Had an opporunity to talk to D Washington (A&R for the Suppertime project) and I should let everyone know that the album is mastered and finalized. No date has been set yet, but a single has been picked and it is "All The Way To Heaven". I haven't heard the song, but according to producer Rudy, "He's got my all-time favorite song, "All the Way to Heaven," which has kind of a Prince feel." There you have it! Stay tuned for more updates on Suppertime.

Rolling Stones: Songs/Albums of the Decade

Songs: 86. Aaliyah - Try Again Though I disagree with the number placement, I'm glad people still remember this song because it's a classic. Static and Aaliyah made timeless music together, and they will continue to live on through their music. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/31248926/100_best_songs_of_the_decade/27 Albums: 32. Lil Wayne: Tha Carter III Even though "Lollipop" didn't make the best 100 songs list ("A Milli" did), we can still celebrate this achievement. If it weren't for Static and "Lollipop", who knows if Lil Wayne would have the success that he's having now, popularity wise and sales wise. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/31248017/100_best_albums_of_the_decade/44 On a side note though, why is Aaliyah's self-titled album not on the list? Album is a classic!
