“I messed up a lot of relationships, even with Eminem,” Jeezy said. “Just by me putting Gibbs on the record that was for me and, trying to convince Em to do the record, and the record leaking in the process. That burned a great bridge for me. Eminem is my dude. Me putting [Gibbs] on song with T.I. – putting him on three or four of my mixtapes – and me paying for videos that he didn’t use because when he showed up to the set too late for them to shoot, and it’s all my money.”

Vanilla Ice Disses Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign’s “Shell Shocked” 

Vanilla Ice dissed “Shell Shocked,” a cut made by Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J and Ty Dolla $ign. “With respect to all of the artists, the song doesn’t really do it for me,” Vanilla Ice said. “It feels a little artificial. What I mean by that is that it sounds like a bunch of executives in the corporate world put it together. It really does not fit the theme of the Ninja Turtles legend. I think you have to understand, and be a true Ninja, to possess the Magic to really pull off the secret sound.”
