So this morning I was able to speak to ‘Fest briefly while he’s over in Ireland with Mark Ronson and Jay-Z. He also took the time to respond to Prometheus and the haters who have chimed in on this matter in the FSD comments section. Though he’s a bit salty, ‘Fest seems to think this whole Prometheus thing is just a hoax, and this guy really doesn’t have the music he claims he does. Apparently, El Che did lose an iPod a little while back, but doesn’t think that’s the case at all. Both of these records have leaked previously, so ‘Fest is calling his bluff.
We’ll see where this goes, if anywhere, or if this was just like that kid from last week who claimed he was Kanye West’s “Ghost-Blogger”
Here are Rhymefest’s comments for those that missed it:
Yo this is Fest, I just got to Belfast Ireland and logged on to see all this shit thats going down. Yall niggaz just don't fuckin know. I feel like my life is flashin infront of my fuckin eyes right now. It ain't like my album wasn't or ain't gonna come out. Fa real I been busy working on some TV shit with comedy central so I haven't finalized singles or nothin with the label yet. I just finished the show I was workin on and joined Mark Ronson on tour with JZ, then this. Anybody who knows me Knows I wouldn't do this to myself. Out of all these pretentious ass rappers I always tried to speak truth and never play myself with the gimmicks of other niggaz, I don't wanna get dropped, I don't want bad relationships with Allido or any of the producers or artist feat. on my album who didn't get paid would bring. I DIDN"T DO THIS! And none of my niggaz would either. I don't know who this cat is. But if one of yall out there is good with computers find this dude 4 he do damage to more then just me. I love the people that support me but I wouldnt release my own songs and potentially kill my record sells again, that ain't smart or cool. Please somebody find this nigga!...
…Further more, yall niggaz who up there dissen me, GET A FUCKIN LIFE! Nigga, I help more people then you could ever know, probably somebody in yo fuckin family for all you know. I provide for my kids and always rep THE CHI. You ain't gotta like my shit, but gotdammit you will respect me as a man. Cuz at the end of the day I ain't no soft ass conscious rapper that won't punch a nigga in the face. I can take constructive critiques like I always have. But some of that hatin for no reason ain't called for. I never went out and talked about me and DRE or writing for the detox, thats shit that other niggaz did. I ain't no media whore. I make music cuz I love it. I make money without sellin my soul cuz I know how. Whoever can't respect that can keep riding your favorite radio rappers dick until it fall off in yo faggot ass!

i can understand why he is hella salty. my only thing is, niggas need to keep their shit in check. if you got an ipod with your fucking album on it, before it drops? why leave it out in the open for someone to get one up on you?
I met Fest out here on Long Island at the Cop Shop (www.copshop.com). He was the realest dude to come through there, and we've had guys ranging from Ghostface to Gang Starr. I know I'm buying El Che regardless, and hopefully he comes through again to sign it and chill.
I meant copshopmusic.com btw
man he still wack
ill, another copshop representer.
tell eddy what up nigga!
^^when redman coming down? lol, its been like 4 years.

DREW...YOU HAVE MADE IT.
Congrats on the blog Andrew!
I'm from Portugal (where I have a Hip-Hop Radio Show...)
Much of the information regarding Chicago hiphop i get it from your blog! (hope u don't mind that!)
'Fest is one of my favorite artists of all time...i don't really understand how a guy like Rhymefest gets to be so hated...
I decided to write down this comment 'cause someone said: "no one cares about rhymefest music...i did like brand new becuz of kanye"
That is just sad...if u don't like rhymefest music/style that's ok...but don't say that kind of shit 'cause he's one of the most talented artists that i have ever heard...
Peace out!
internet idiots... always hatin somebody. GO GET A JOB!
I agree wit khal. But I hear what 'fest is sayin. He aint neva sold out for that radio play like everybody on there (wayne dick riders.) Anybody supportin real chicago hip hop is gon go buy this shit when it drop. NO DOWNLOAD. If you wanna download somethin, download that "Man in the Mirror" mixtape he did over all that michael shit. That was a good ass mixtape, download that, and SHOW SOME SUPPORT, and if you dont support it, DONT COMPLAIN about the radio
Screw that! I'm supporting regardless. Not only is 'Fest one of the dopest artists from the Chi, but in the entire industry!
I did hear that Premier track in '07
he's not wack but he's not a dope rapper
dude raps like he's got 5 tongues in his mouth
no homo
Ok so big deal "Rhymefest" logged on to cop a plea and state it wasn't a self mutilated action to boost his market awareness. We understand you got mouths to feed. But you adding fuel to the fire by talking the way you talking. Punching dudes in the face and what not, what's that going to solve? Yes it's your music and you don't want to burn unnecessary bridges with label staff and artist features. But do yourself a favor and shut-up. You exposing yourself on how weak you are right now. Have your PR step in and represent you. Come up with a plan. You jumpin' online to show how "down to earth" or humble you are to speak for yourself is not going to solve the problem of your music leaking. Recommendation if I may (this one's for free): Record more music...However, the way you're complaining about how your life is flashing before your eyes only states that this dude has really buckled your ass and those songs were your final cut for El Che and the "others" that didn't make the cut is garbage and you don't have anything left up your sleeve in the vault to mix or redo simply put...not worth the time. If you was crazy enough to have your entire El Che catalogue on your iPod then it's your fault, you got pwned i'm sure you got studio backups but what is that going to do? I know you want peoples input and prospective on your work but be selective and cautious next time you want to play your music in an unsecured location. I don't care if it's at your home. Your music is valuable and it's suppose to setup/secure your family future, right? I'll sleep with that shit handcuffed to my wrist like the hope diamond. And you say your camp wouldn't do it. How do you know??? I ain't trying to flame Fest but you wasn't smart on this one dude. As far as someone tracking down this thief. He's already caught cause he's spoken out. He wants attention and now he's gotten more than what he's bargained for. Good luck on finding him. I would help but bounty hunter certificate just expired /sarcasm.

Let's see if this Promeathus plays his hand. To me he doesnt have anything because if he did he would have released everything in his hand...clearly either a hoax or someone working to get fest' a buzz...
This blog is the exact problem that chicago has. Expect me to decline an interview, cuz i know u bloggers will come calling soon enough.
rhymefest its ok boo boo u can get it 2
Whoever leaks this album is a crab and I hope karma bites back. I like Rhymefest and his music and I'm copping either way.
McFLy Out
woooooow!
so it's not a marketing scheme! that sucks.
if 'prometheus' is REALLY as big a fan as he claims he is, he shouldn't keep leaking this stuff.....
i'd download either way lol, but I'm buying Rhymefest's project whenever he drops it.
Andrew can you please hit me up on myspace/koneerok
........
looks like we got a new war
this shit is fucked up and i dont think its hard to find who leaked it so who ever did can be really fucked in the end anyways ppl who do this type of shit are on some real bitch shit its like taking away all the shit some 1 has n then telling them its so that they are forced to gain it all back again cuz its for der own good .... fucking retarded
Nov Gannon, expect us bloggers to do what exactly? Comment on your lack of creativity? Expose your fear of being under intense scrutiny? Never heard of you, nor do I want to hear from you with that type of attitude. When you call yourself a musician who wants to become popular guess what...you and your music become public property. So get over it. Do your job as a artist or whatever you do and see you next time when you decline your interview on fakeshoredrive since you're in such a media blitz.
hmmm like who really, really cares?
bring it back is fire...
everybody should blaze a L.
and relax.
"I be prometheus brown. stealin that fire outta heaven." -Blue Scholars

slave with the flyest chain.
