just got this in my email.DJ Strong Releases a StatementContrary to what my normal ethic is, in regards to my artists and my mixtapes. There has been a confusion about the latest mixtapes release, with great respect to all concerned, I apologize that this has gotten to such a point and that it has affected alot of people. I am very sorry that this all happened and in my excitement to make this project a big success one miscommunicated mistake was made. A special apology goes out to Bishop Lamont, i would never do anything out of spite to hurt the very artists we've been wanting to see so successful out here on the west coast for such a long time. We as the west coast really need to stick together especially now that we are all getting to a point where alot of artists are about to come out; from Game to Glasses Malone to Ice Cube to Omar Cruz and many many others. For us to not deal with this in a better way is really hurting what we have all worked so hard to build for so many years. Hip Hop is fragile right now and with gangsta rap and conscious rap and other types of party rap resurging out here on the West Coast we are in a position to be back on top with our business and our music and to avoid the downside of real gang activity that has plagued our coast for so many years. If we keep repeating the same cycles that we have been involved in, accustom to, and close to for sooo long, we will lose. Not just us as djs, but the artists, the labels, and especially the fans and the communities we all live in.Hip hop is about struggle and the want to better ourselves financially mentally and physically and to have our stories be told. We MUST UNITE! Ive seen so many mistakes turn into big issues before and we can't let the expectations of people who want to see hip hop fail turn our minds to violence and attacking one another because we all play an intricate part in the business of music. Hip hop is really being attacked from all sides right now from radio stations to public leaders and from the outside, and for each one of us to turn on each other is going to ruin the very thing that keeps us alive: waiting for the next song or the next artist to tell their story. This is in the best interest for the West Coast and hip hop as a whole. We can turn this into a positive thing for the West Coast! -Strong
Don't we need to hear both sides of the story?

Think about the outcome and effect ur updates will provide. If it's nothing positive, it should way heavy on ur heart to still broadcast it.Wow. If Strong sends us a statement, we'll post it. Until then, this is all that's been offered. Its my job to report what's happening out here. And this is what EVERYONE's talking about.You can't just post that video of Bishop. It seems like DJ Strong didn't even get the chance to respond to it (before this was posted) and that is bad journalism. It's nothing personal to you, but it makes Dubcnn look like dickriders (once again).I also think that you shouldn't do updates on Taje anymore after this video. What an idiot It's not even about that tho.. It's about being responsible for the product you are gonna push. _YOU_ choose what you're feeding the viewers. You have to remember though, everything you put out is going to be promoted for the simple fact that you're covering it in the first place.It's called responsible reporting. If you don't want the negativity and violence, don't report it.. And I hope DubCNN is about that unity and not promoting any type of violence or situations that could lead to it. When I go onto the site looking for something positive and forward-moving and I get this type of video with threats between rappers to DJs, it turns me off to the West Coast and anything the product is associated with.Just because Bishop Lamont is the next big thing, you can still say "Nah chill let's do this in a more civilized manner" and stand for what you believe. Even the stars need a lil help in practicing what they preach (Unity).

you really should support DJ Strong, he is the real man here in this situation.people that send out hate e-mails trying to ruin someone or bring them down is weak as piss.what would you do if Bishop and a gang of niggas came to YOUR front door?.I would fucking call the cops, then while they sit in a cell 4 ages, thinking about you (DJ Strong), DJ Strong is the real winner out of it all then.Bishop needs to stand still while he talks on camera too, no way will he get a job in any BIG flick by Gearge Lucas or Speilberg...... Tori Spelling wouldnt even have him on her production if she was doing 1, he dont stay still in the 1 place long enough.I agree with you tho DJ AGE about Strongs statement.
