Tyrese Gibson Taking On New Role

Tuesday, July 18, 2006

Tyrese GibsonHaving tackled the world of R&B and Hollywood, Tyrese Gibson is taking on a new role; that of rapper. Stepping into the world of beats and rhymes as Black Ty he has already garnered attention from some of the more established artists in Hip-Hop today, many of whom we can expect to see on his forthcoming album Alter Ego.

Co-star of recent movie release Waist Deep, The Game has already added his name to four of Black Ty’s tracks. “He’s been successful on every scale from singing to acting, so what would make anyone think that he couldn’t do rap?” remarked The Game who has shown the aspiring rapper a lot of love.

When asked about the involvement of super-manager Chris Lighty from Violator management which represents Busta Rhymes, G-Unit and Missy Elliot, Black Ty could only say “Chris Lighty is a part of the movement.” It has been confirmed that Lighty will help launch the career of Black Ty, confident that the rapper is destined to become a common element of Hip-Hop.

Having already put out one mixtape that was welcomed by the streets, The Best of Both Hoodz, he has another expected to drop in August called Ghetto Royalty, building up to the release of Alter Ego in the final quarter. The album will come out on his own label Headquarter Entertainment, an imprint of J Records.
“You know you only get one shot, you know people may not be speaking my name next week so I am going to go ahead and ride this out,” said Tyrese on his double album, which will be half R&B and half Rap. “I am in a lot of different worlds so I am always going to be doing something,” he stated.

His company Headquarter Entertainment has been classified as a ‘multi-media’ company which encompasses many facets of the entertainment world; including screen-writing, movie soundtracks, music production, song writing and artist development.

Ever since baby boy dude been thinkin he makaveli. Ay'ight honestly i never even heard guy spit, rhyme, rap or flow...just seen his style evolve into a more thuggish street flamboyance, i was wonderin' what happen to mr (singz) " sweet lady will you be my...." can't precisely say. Anywho, i dont think dude should pursue rappin, it doesnt fit his structure. I believe the style and sound will be forced. Like most of these cartoon rappers playin dress up and receivin scripts to vocalize to a vulnerable world. I believe that tyrese is muti-talented(proven: singer/actress etc.)but rappin? well i guess anybody is capable of wearin that label. But yo, i may just be wrong about this guy....d@mn did i just say that?

Mscadi you mad funny!! you called dude an actress and i think it was genuine. Any way why not jamie foxx and half these other loverboys want to dip and dive into what ever makes them money. He figures ja-rule can go to r&b and 50 for that matter why cant he do the same. " pretty soon no more ice cube just vanilla ice". Fight. For. Us!!

No comment on tyrese gibson but for da jamie foxx comment made by etheoryall there is a difference. Jamie foxx has been singing 4 a long ass time. On his shows in his stand up and da n*gga's pretty good. So good people were beggin for him to put out an album 10 years ago. Still no comment on da baby boy.

Sandy *?*&% ma(you a chick rygh?)don't take it personal..(just making sho, i knew some dudes named sandy..i think). Anywho, i hope i wasnt considered to be hatin on mr. Black ty? cause it wasnt hatin ma, actually; i like dude, ya know..he a good lookin dude, can sing, roleplay..all that good ish. I was just statin an substantial opinion(like which 99.5% of folks do on here) continuing..about this newflash..tyrese done gone rap..*&^%its like wha?*^$ it's kind of crazy because dude really don't have that aura about'em (to me.) others may feel or think oppositely, starting with yourself and tyrese oops i mean black ty ?f*&^?. I hope you notice the congratulation was given^^^, an after that in the end it's all just an it was "my" commentary/opinion. Opinions are respected or neglected. And i didn't even mean to call that dude an actress (f^#% i was thinkin) :p

Shyt, cats are making a mockery of the game. Like jeezy will say something like "yeah i aint a rapper", or all the new cats claim the same. But i think thats their excuse for being trash in areas where you have to have experience. But you also have to look at the thin line between "rappers" and "r & b thugs"...notice i didnt say "emcees"...shyt, anybody can be a rapper. Shyt they "rap" on cartoons,commercials...mothergoose prolly got a "rap album" im aiight with it. Life is easy when you give em all lables and put em in the correct slot. And he'll just be a rapper, along with will smith, bow wow, that cat offa mtv (dont know the name of the show cause i instantly turned that insult off). Too many rappers not enuff emcees.

Shyt even kirk franklin will buss a rhyme on you...lol. When you rhyme to a beat imma call it a rap, when you get paid or attention consistantly for doing this, imma call you a rapper. When you put years into the craft, know the history etc etc. "i" lable you an emcee.
Posted by Kalliope4eva
Considerin this dude an emcee is slightly funny, but then you think...first you place him with the wankstas of rap, the wanna bez, the followers, but then you think; ok this dude might just have some potential..but its funny not too long ago dude was just singin with some character about somethin pull'n his a&^ back or some'thin..2:kalli, you correct on a level of comprehension and truth, but then theres that uncertantity? most dudes can rhyme to a beat, just like poets, and get paid consistantly and on top, put years into it and still be what? garbage. Its truth to it, its some rappers thats been rhymin for years (out now) and still garbage and recognize as an emcee. But yo, garabge feeds off & grow off garbage, alot of folks tend to dig it (obivously) but -->i

Happen to just feel diff*
Posted by MsCadiGirl
See you got it...almost. Then thats when you break it down....garbage emcee.washed up emcee. Fake emcee. Fire emcee. Up and comming emcee. God emcee. Period. Just put em in their slots if it fits...lol.

Tyreese or black ty been hot since the cocacola comersial. The dude shud have came out with the name midas. Is r&b voice is unparelled, his acting abilities are young denzell (check out waist deep, its so training day) what makes you think this dude cant rap. In case yall forgot;;;;; this rap is is easy

Yow mi nah seh dat di umbre probly might gwan wid su'um, i haven't heard im yet. But if i start expect di worse wen a new mc a come out(caus most a dem a f*&kry), how mi fi optimistic about a singer talkin bout him wanna rap. I see dis dude pon late late show on cbs, and dis dude is saying that rap is better now than when di greats were doin dem ting. Dat it more creative and inventive. If him really tink dat den he obviously gonna b rass lame at rappin. "if u wanna b a sweet mc, u gotta become me, if u eva wanna b 1 see"
Posted by kinglopo
Sirchuck sounds like your comparin actin to rappin(yea im pretty sure dude would make an excellent actor as a rapper)but see, we are tryin to see if the two will be seperated...real hip hop heads will be able to identify; if dude is actin or str8 from the heart flowin, deliverin; rappin, whatever dude may consider it.
Posted by MsCadiGirl
I think will smith should be considered an emcee.i'm sure he knows hip hop history.jazzy jeff is a world renowned d.j.and they basically came up together.

i think if i keep playing the song one again and again....like i've been doing...i might have to take a flight out to cali...to have tyrese, sing it live over and over again...i haven't heard all of tyrese's songs...however, i have heard the more famous songs like lately, how you gonna act like that...and the like...all i can say is...by far...what, i see in his latest album...is a very talented young man...who is multi talented....he is a model, singer, actor....and even though i'm not really into rap....tyrese gets my permission to rap his heart out....because, he has grown into a beautiful man...who's talent has matured....i think that he sounds even better than he has in the past...i don't know what he is doing...but, i love him ....he is hot, hot, hot.....and i would also say very intelligent....and charitable....he has put money right back into his community....that is extremely noble.....kisses for you tyrese, you are gods gift to women..........i could probably think of many more superlatives for that hunky man.......but, i'll just keep them all to myself.....peace!!!

It's funny how people always say they want to be all they can be, but when someone actually makes the attempt, he's shut down before tape rolls. Tyrese is talented and still in the game- you got my support baby boy, "do you."
