Lil Wayne Hospitalized: In Coma In ICU After More Seizures

According to recent reports, rapper Lil Wayne is reportedly in the ICU ward in critical condition on March 15th after suffering more seizures, following his March 12th seizure-related  hospitalization. 

TMZ reports that just hours after Lil Wayne was released from the hospital on Mar. 13, one of his bodyguards found him in his room, unconscious on the floor. He was then rushed to the hospital again, but unlike the other time, he did not stabilize.

He was taken to the ICU, where he was reportedly placed in restraints because he was uncontrollably shaking. According to TMZ, he is currently “unstable” and has been placed in a medically-induced coma, breathing through tubes. 

Sources further allege that Lil Wayne may have gone on a Sizzurp binge after being released from the hospital on Mar. 13, as doctors have reportedly found high amounts of codeine in his system. It’s reported that his stomach was pumped three times to remove the drugs from his system.

As previously reported, Wayne had been rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles on Mar. 12 after suffering what appeared to be multiple seizures. He was released just a few hours later, early in the morning of Mar. 13. Wayne had also previously been hospitalized on Oct. 25, 2012, after experiencing “seizure-like symptoms”

Our thoughts are with Lil Wayne and his family and friends during this time.

Q+A with DJ Flipside (Jump Smokers)

Boasting an ongoing library of original productions and remixes for artists like Far East Movement, Katy Perry and Pitbull, Jump Smokers can please a crowd, no doubt. Whether performing as a whole or playing DJ sets, the Chicago-based crew builds off the radio and EDM worlds to make any audience jump.
During a chat with DJ Flipside about how he works a room and what it’s like to do a remix, he also noted the benefits of working in both the nightlife and radio worlds. Outside the club, Flipside reaches 3 million people through Chicago radio, playing “Flipside At Five” on week days and street mixes on weekends.

  

 -What’s the biggest difference between you playing a DJ set versus Jump Smokers performing as a whole?
-The main thing is the vocalist isn’t with me, so he doesn’t rap and do the whole performance part. I’ve been DJ’ing since 1993 so it’s another way for us to showcase our sound and for me to DJ,

“When I play places where the people have fun and wanna get down, I love it. It’s my favorite way to get down that way.”

-Which non-Jump Smokers tracks get the best reactions when played?
-It really depends on the crowd. If I play “Call Me Maybe,” they go crazy. But there are certain times that will not work, so I’ll play something like a Calvin Harris or Afrojack track. I’m a big fan of music - there are hip hop records that work, there are trap records that work - it really depends on the crowd. There’s a trap remix of “Mercy,” that I love and there’s a trap remix of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River” that’s awesome. I just love music and love playing for a crowd that loves music. I do a bootleg version of “Call me Maybe” on top of Calvin Harris’ “Feel So Close” and it works amazing. I come from a radio world too; I’m on radio in Chicago, so I understand the EDM world and the radio world. That’s how Jump Smokers works - we understand the radio and the dance worlds.

Carly Rae Jepsen Vs. Calvin Harris - Feel So Maybe - Jump Smokers Bootleg by Jump Smokers

-What are you favorite Jump Smokers remixes?

-It’s hard to pick, we’ve done over 70, almost 80 remixes. But:

• Mariah Carey - H.A.T.E.U.
• Pitbull - International Love
• Kim Sozzi - Rated R
  
  

-How did you get into DJ’ing?

-I’ve been DJ’ing since I was 13 years old, and I used to break. When we’d do shows, I had to edit the tape. I started mixing with cassette tapes, then turntables. I started doing mixes, and in high school, I was doing the dances and any party I could do. It was all a love of music. Being in Chicago, you have legends like Bad Boy Bill on the radio and you get influenced by that. I’m so lucky to be from the city where house music was born. 

-If you were to go home right now and listen to music, what would you be -listening to?

-Sometimes I listen to R&B/Soul, but sometimes I listen to underground Chicago funky disco house. It all depends on my mood. I’ll listen to other peoples’ podcasts like Nicky Romero and Hardwell; I love to see what other people are doing.

-If you could play a DJ set with any artist, who would it be?

-I’d love to do big-time festivals with someone like Avicii, Hardwell or Nicky Romero. I’d love to play for the crowd at a big massive venue where you can play an 8-minute house record and the crowd loves every second of it.

“You have a job to do, so you have to satisfy the people who hire you, knowing what you want to do. The thing that helps is that we’re DJs; we are in the clubs, we see what works and what doesn’t, so we think about the club and the radio when producing our sets. Part of the reason people hire us for a remix is so they can get the extra spin on radio and also get club plays.”

      -Flipside on making a remix

-You guys have been in the scene and doing this for a while. With the way music’s been shifting genres, do you believe the EDM scene is saturated right now?

-I’d say a lot of people are starting to get into dance music, but the people who love dance music know where to go. They know who to listen to, what’s actually good music and what’s coming out… and not just because EDM is hot.

-With such constant changes in the scene, do you think it’s harder for you guys as producers and DJs to come up with new tracks to fit certain styles?

-It depends if you’re referring to original material or remixes. When you get remixes, you’re given a vocal and keys to work with, so you have to make that work. With original material, you can do whatever you want; we can go as crazy as we want because it’s what is representing us.

-What would you say is the most challenging part of being a DJ/producer?

-Flight layovers. My flight was delayed four hours today…. but if you’re a DJ, you do it because you love it. When you’re producing, you do it because you love music. You do it because you want to go out and do shows, you want to travel, you want people to hear your music. As a group, we feel so lucky to be embraced by DJs who support us.

“DJs are the ones who let people who don’t know, know.”

Radio Station Fails

I am far from being professional, by anyone’s definition. But compared to these dudes who spill coffee and joke and swear over the air, I'm TOTALLY professional. One of the biggest rules when you work at a radio station. You MUST Keep drinks away from the control board: http://bsun.md/K7Odrp listen what happens when you fail

DJ DRAMA!

This week DJCJ and DJ Mike Emilio battled for rights on the Flo Rida Whistle Remix. In the result both artists have had the remix taken down on there social sites like Youtube and Soundcloud. After this action was taken by the Copyright teams of these sites DJCJ received nasty messages on his Youtube account from Mike "You should be ashamed of yourself, And the way you act is really immature" In reply to that DJCJ said "Not even close to ashamed, I don't care who contacts me because I am not interested in being harassed any further." 


Sounds like some major drama going on, apparently Emilio has informed all promotion companies and has screwed DJCJ over....he has even tried blaming us on Twitter "Thanks for stealing my remix and making it yours. I've already informed my management and the labels."

Guess Mike Emilio of Sweden really does have some problems, but what can you do...sit back and pretend its all a lie and just go with it.

Paris Hilton Claims Shes a DJ....

She's been a sex tape star, a singer, a designer, a TV star and now Paris Hilton claims to be a DJ.

Paris hit the turntables during a concert in Brazil ... and debuted a new song “All Night” she's been working on with Afrojack one of the best DJs on the planet.

But before she played the song, she sucked right up to the crowd telling them "I've partied all around the world to the best parties  but I've never seen anyone party like you guys do in Brazil."

Hilton also said she and AfroJack are releasing an album soon. Not everyone's a fan of DJ Paris ... after Deadmau5 found out, he posted a tweet saying, "It's over." He later added, "To be fair  the Mayans saw this shit coming."

Well, what has the world come to...There is no way anyone would want to pay a dumb blonde claim to DJ on stage and epically fail.

Jenny McCarthy poses on the Cover of Playboy's Summer Issue

As promised, Jenny McCarthy graces the cover of the July/August issue actress, comedian and mom -- first named Playmate of the year back in 1993 -- goes totally nude for the  daring cover. Wearing just lacy finge-less gloves and thigh-high black boots, McCarthy covers up her unmentionables with a crossed leg and strategically placed arm. In the rather retro shot, an intense-looking McCarthy wears her blonde hair in glamorous waves and sports deep-red lipstick and nail polish.

As shot by photographer Steve Shaw, McCarthy appears in an eight-page nude pictorial inside the magazine's pages; the issue hits newsstands this Friday.

"I would absolutely pose for Playboy [again]," McCarthy said back in 2009. "I would be so flattered if they asked me. It's probably not going to happen but I think I want to do it again."

Her son Evan, 9, recently bonded with other Playboy Playmates during an Eastertime visit (and egg hunt) at the Playboy mansion. McCarthy confessed she lost her little boy for "probably 45 minutes" and found him hanging out in the infamous Grotto.
