What’s the definition of a Youtube sensation? If you look it up, you might find one face next to the definition…B-Hamp. The Dallas, Texas-based rapper jetted on to the scene with the catchy dance the Ricky Bobby and plans on capitalizing off its popularity.

The dance that has to date almost 1.2 million views on the popular video site in less than a year has taught people worldwide how to “Do the Ricky Bobby”. The dance got its influence from the popular Will Ferrell movie Talladega Nights and its main character [played by Ferrell] Ricky Bobby. “The Ricky bobby was [an] influence off the movie, Talladega Nights,” he said with a laugh during his interview with Dofattv.com

But the baby-faced 23-year-old says he is done with dance songs, “Naw I’m done on the dance thing but I will always dance @ my shows cause it just in me but no more dance songs,” the smirking Brandon Hampton where he gets his rap name from said. He wants to show his versatility. “Just rap I’m not a gangsta but I know about it cause of my friends but I can rap about anything,” he said confidentally. “So really just how I’m feeling at the moment,” the Dallas-born rapper added.

Since music has always been a passion of his and he never was in a position where he wanted to give up, Hamp has plenty of stories to tell his fans now and in the future. “Giving up was never an option, I would still be making music until I’m 45,” he said with a grin patting his hair down with his hand.

With so much attention on himself in 2010, Hamp [as he is also known by] knows he has to keep his buzz going. Right now, he is going through a self-proclaimed “grind time” a period he says is the follow up to the Ricky Bobby where he wants to make sure he keeps himself relevant within the industry.

To keep himself relevant he shot a new video called “Fooly” another word that describes his personality along with venturing into the fashion industry as he is endorsed by The Forever K Michale Collection [an eyewear company]. Musically, the “Fooly” guy is working on The 3 soundtrack with Lions Gate Films and projects with all the CKB Entertainment including Moshan,Cor’ess,Lil Rick,Lush, & Aqquaman.

The humble, laid-back rapper seems to be on the right path to keeping himself a topic of interest in an industry that can be very harsh. He is familiar with the rigors of a rapper trying to turn his dreams into fruition as well as trying to carry a 9-5 to support his cause. “I use to hit up 3 clubs a night for like 3 weeks to get my song to the DJ’s in all the clubs in the area and I would turn around and wake up @ 7 to go to work every morning but I would grind to get where I’m going,” B-Hamp admitted to Dofat TV users.

The rapper also was not given special treatment as he shares with the viewers of the entertainment channel an anecdote of a time when he drove from his home in Texas with friends to perform at the popular BET show, 106^th & Park.  “The craziest thing to me was when we [his buddies and him] drove to New York to do 106th & Park,” the Lone Star state native said with amusement. B-Hamp is well aware of where he came from and how far he has come and knows he has a lot of ground to cover to get where he wants in this industry.

It is that same humility he wants to share with all his fans as he is not afraid to hold conversations with everyone who contacts him. “I want them to know that don’t ever think I’m too famous to talk to y’all, I’ll always be a reqular person in my mind and I will talk and treat people the way I wanna be treated,” the modest rapper told the users who tuned in.

If the saying “the meek shall inherit the earth” is true then Hamp should have the earth his fairly soon.

Two years after the popular dance came out the grateful rapper is “grindin’” and wants to thank all the DJ’s who gave him an opportunity to be heard by the people who would eventual become his fans. He was also caring enough to thank the Dofat TV users for wanting him for an interview, “Thank y’all for wanting me for the interview,” he said genuinely.

Humility? Check. Hard-working? Check. Respectful? Check. Passion for music? Check. With all those qualities culminated within him, B-Hamp has all the makings of a rapper who will have longevity in this game. Dofat TV and its user would like to wish good luck to Brandon Hampton!

On the same night of President Obama’s first State of the Union address. HimPhilly took advantage of Isrealdeep’s epic choke in his final round as Philly’s second round verse demolished Isreal for the $250 USD and bragging rights.

The two Dofattv heavyweights battled it out for what looked like on paper a battle for the ages. Philly had to prove to Dofat TV that he was the rightful owner of the Dofat TV Rap Battle title. “I’ve been given a second chance, all I can say is let’s do it!” he said before the battle with laid-back demeanor.
The second round had all the fireworks and two rounds was all Philly needed.

Isreal went first the second round and his flow was a dramatic difference in tone and lines than his first round. Suddenly, he was stopped mid-way through his verse after Tony’s Wi-Fi started tweaking and some users that were cammed up took it upon themselves to start the battle causing further delay because of the inconvenience.

After the interruption was through the current champion kicked a hot minute and a half then showed he did not write enough heat to finish his two minutes [the time allotted to each battler for each round].
Then it was on, in the words of Julius Ceasar, the former champion came, saw, and conquered the current champion in his second round onslaught that humbled the egotistical rapper. “You’ve been running too long so your career I’m going to abbreviate,” Philly emphatically fired at the champ.

The winner even called the champs bluff, “Your rhymes suck that’s why I never mind him/even searched him on youtube and I don’t never find him,” another line spit by who many believe to be the real Dofat TV champ.
But the event amounted into another one-sided victory for the rapper who hails the city of Brotherly Love.
The guest judge, DJ 4our5ive voted in the latter’s favor.

“We did it!” the teenager boasted after he embarrassed his opponent.

The champ took a more somber approach after the battle.

“HimPhilly got that congrats, I beat myself,” the current battle rap champ said as he prepares to take on his challenger next week in the tradition battle format.

“We ain’t gotta flip no coin, I’ll set it off” –HimPhilly said confidentially before the customary coin flip and the battle was on.

In the first round, Philly seemed to have lost a little luster in his bars in the last 30 seconds of his flow but he spit a solid, not overly impressive first round. Philly did show his usual energetic delivery and appeared to have a chip on his shoulder from comments that were said to him by Isreal last week.

Isreal appeared to be cooler than a cucumber until after Philly’s 1st round verse, Isrealdeep and Philly exchanged heated words with an apparent animosity existing between to the two prideful rappers.

Isreal’s first round was much like Philly’s first round, he had some solid punches but the overall body of work wasn’t as impressive as in previous weeks. His tone was raspy and he seemed a bit too relaxed lacking that passion we have grown accustomed to.

Maybe it was the nerves and the high expectations of the battle because the neither rapper stepped up to the plate and delivered a home run in their first verse. Isreal’s first verse was felt with a lot of boooo’s by the audience in the box while Philly’s 1st verse saw a lot of “Isreal’s got this” sentiments from the box as well.
After the 1st round, DJ4our5ive decided in Philly-based rappers favor as well.

If you couldn’t find the once prideful champ on youtube before you can find him now and not he the way the champ wanted.

Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn native rapper turned fitness mogul Lil’ Cease dropped by Dofat TV a few days ago to update us with the latest in the Wonderful World of Cease-A-Leo. He spoke on his thoughts about haters, his transition from overweight rapper to a fitness expert and his relationship with the deceased, hip hop great, The Notorious B.I.G.

A true testament to hard work the once out of shape rapper turned a negative into a positive by working out one day three years ago and has not left the gym since. Matter of fact, he turned it into a movement he calls the “Hard Body Movement”. He documented his goal to lose weight and put it on DVD with his efforts [Cease] lost 75 pounds in 6 months.  He considers working out his second love behind music.

For Lil’ Cease fans, a long awaited LP is in the making as a follow up to his highly-successful first LP that featured #3 on Hip Hop charts back in 1999, The Wonderful World of Cease-A-Leo. It will follow along the lines of his first album in the title name, The Wonderful World… He considers the CD to be authentic hip hop and very similar to his 1^st album in [the] vibe but also admitted to it being a step up from his first album as he gets personal and tells the story of a rapper who hasn’t dropped an album in almost 11 years.

The album will feature artist he says his fans would never expect and an exclusive verse from the late, great B.I.G that should make the album worth its weight in gold alone.

The album should be expected to drop in April-May but in the mean time the rapper is putting out a mix tape with Big Mike with new exclusive music that should keep fans happy.

The relaxed rapper with the recognizable voice plans to capitalize off the popularity of hip hop but he also sees similarities in the game that compare to the gen-re years ago with the grind and technique that people use to make music. “You’re hooking up little boxes in the room and doing vocals in your bathroom now a days, like m*therf***kers was doing back then, it’s just on another plateau because of how big the business is,” the Brooklyn rappers said giving reference to sites like youtube.com and worldstarhiphop.com for giving people a platform to get their music out there whose music normally wouldn’t be seen years prior.

To the new rapper in the game, Cease gives you simple advice “Just make good music,” he states as the key to being successful in this game. To, Cease the game is a very lucrative and you have to be good at what you do because people can’t deny talent according to him. Cease-O-Leo tells you to make records and not worry about your image because that only gets you so far in this industry.

If you’re a hater, Cease-O-Leo has absolutely nothing to say to them but to use them as motivation. “[I] don’t indulge into that sh*t, it’s a good thing that should be your motivation,” he said as he takes an action speak louder than words approach to addressing his haters. Acknowledging that his maturity, growth and longevity in the hip hop industry has made him humble and able to deter from his haters.

The Junior M.A.F.I.A member has been around the rap life since he was 6 or 7 years old as Biggie took him under his wings before he was a teenager. He states Biggie showed him the ropes as he was taken from the hard knock life of the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant to being put on his first studio track “The Players Anthem” on the first Junior M.A.F.I.A album Conspiracy to traveling the earth and enjoying the advantage of befriending one of the greatest to ever do it. Biggie also thought him to be cool on stage because Biggie Smalls collected attitude on the stage made it easier for his counterparts. “I never saw B.I.G really get nervous,” he said about Biggie’s cool as a cucumber stage presence.

If you saw the Notorious movie that hit the cinemas a couple of years ago just know from Cease mouth that the movie was genuine. “They nailed Biggie to a T,” he said about how the movie portrayed Biggie as a family man and a rapper willing to put his neck on the line for his people. Being one of B.I.G’s closest friends up until his untimely death, Cease played an important part in the story of the sorely missed rapper as he worked with writers on getting the story to explain how B.I.G really was.

On a lighter note as far as his own character in the hit movie goes, yes Cease was really that young, baby-faced kid you saw in the movie, in case you thought Cease was much closer to B.I.G’s age [being only 18 when his close-friend passed away] and stature [which is hard to believe that anyone would be close to Biggie in size since was such an imposing individual] you were wrong!

Much like Cease’s shape, Cease is back with a new frame of mind and is ready to come strong with some unexpected features and just overall good music that should have his fans pleased after his long hiatus from his first studio album. Make sure you keep up with Cease-O-Leo’s every movement at: http://www.youtube.com/user/CEASEALEO226.

Never a stranger to Dofat TV, the bite-your-head-off emcee lyrically took a step out of his comfort zone of battling and peacefully completed an interview with the Unfamous_Celeb but still maintained his energy and charisma. In the interview he elaborated on every question with insight and his incomparable originality.

The confident rapper, who never bites his tongue for anyone spoke to us about his life growing up. He mentioned he had cool, hip parents who told him if he came home from a fight and lost he would be disowned. The rapper who is never short of words said they didn’t raise him to be soft further proving his hard-nosed mentality is no gimmick and 100% Serius.

Also, he stated rap came naturally to him and he knew at a young age this was something he wanted to pursue. The New Jersey native also said the battle scene was something that he knew he could be successful at; just ask some of his opponents [Jin and Murder Mooch].

Here is one of the first photos of sex addict Tiger Wood’s 19th conquest, Emma Rotherham, since revelations about his cheating and sex addiction have been revealed.

To make things worse, it has been revealed that Tiger Woods paid the British mother of two $500,000 (£300,000) to keep quiet. Obviously that was a waste of money, since here’s the story! However Emma has signed a confidentiality agreement.

Emma and Tiger met in a night club, his favourite hunting ground for women, Orlando’s Blue Martini club, in May 2008.

An insider (thought to be one of Emma’s friends) revealed “as she lived near his Florida home in Isleworth she was always on call. They were at it all the time. Emma said Tiger was a great lover. But he never wore a condom, and she didn’t take any precautions.”

The News Of The World newspaper in UK reveals sources claiming: “Emma would meet him at the office and they’d get straight down to it. Sometimes she’d complain that she wanted more from the relationship, but she wasn’t interested in becoming the next Mrs Tiger Woods.”

Woods even arranged for Emma to fly to Michigan last August where he was competing in the Buick Open tournament. There he introduced Emma to drug-fuelled sex.

Our source said: “They both took the relaxant Ambien before making love. Emma was a bit hesitant but Tiger persuaded her and she said the sex was mind-blowing.”

Tiger Woods is currently thought to be in rehab. This story about his affair with this British woman isn’t the type of PR he’s been looking for recently.

Rihanna’s new boy toy Matt Kemp is not violent… or at least that’s what his agent is saying. Earlier today, news reports claimed that his ex-girlfriend Felisha Terrell (who just happens to be Terrell Owens ex-fiancee) took out a restraining order against Matt in 2008. In the documents, she stated that he was violent and she feared for her life. She also claimed he was kicked out of a club once for fighting a woman and she was scared he would turn on her since they were no longer dating.

Here’s the response that Matt’s agent David Stewart released to the LA Times:“Matt dated Felisha about two years ago and decided to end their relationship. She chose to file a complaint and shortly thereafter, on her own accord, decided to drop it…. She has very recently said that she has no issue whatsoever with Matt and that she and Matt consider this to be a non-issue. Matt Kemp is a consummate Midwestern gentleman who has never displayed any act of violence towards a woman.

They also reached out to Felisha’s reps who released the following statement:“Felisha Terrell and Matt Kemp lived together and were in a relationship for over a year where they both cared for one another. During the course of the relationship there was a restraining order filed by Felisha but it had nothing to do with domestic violence and to be clear Matt was never physically abusive to Felisha, nor did she fear for her life. The restraining order was subsequently vacated. They both have moved on separately but remain amicable.

”Update: Here’s some of the paperwork filed and more info sent by his Agents:Questions have subsequently been asked about “why” she filed the restraining order and the answer is simple: The relationship ended two months after moving in with eachother. Matt asked her to move, as he was the leasee. She requested $20,000 to do so and Matt refused. Her continued refussal to leave resulted in Matt’s submission of a Notice to Vacate to the landlord, as Felicia’s name was not on the lease. She filed the restraining order in an effort to prevent him from terminating the lease on the property.

Anyone can file a TRO – all they have to do is “say” they feel in danger. Once Matt’s agent, Dave Stewart (retired pitcher, Oakland A’s, World Series MVP), got involved the Dodger’s resident agent was engaged in an effort to protect Matt from her extortion attempts and threats to ruin his name in the media. We are not sure why this has come up now, especially in light of her apologies and both parties response to the situation. No payoffs, hush money or other deal was made to resolve this issue. Felicia was responsible for her own attorney fee’s, moving expenses, etc. and made the above statement via her publicist this afternoon upon hearing about the story.Matt has never/would never put his hands on a woman. His Mother and Grandmother are the most important people in his life. This rumor is most painful because of those relationships than it is the public’s opinion….but of course, that matters too! Please feel free to contact Sports Management Partners with any other questions, comments or concerns. We look forward to resolving this issue and providing any and all facts related to this matter per your request. (source http://necolebitchie.com/ )

Early Friday morning Dofattv.com was lucky enough to have Lil Twist of Young Money Records join us for a quick chat with the active users. His presence alone made the room shoot from almost 100 users to close to 200 users within a matter of minutes around 5:30am EST.

The dramatic jump in active users showed he has quite the following in this industry despite his young age, shows that the old adage “Age ain’t nothin’ but a number”, a phrase the late great Aaliyah made so popular is true. The mellow, mohawk hairstyle sporting rapper is living proof of that.

The well-matured 17-year-old rap artist from Dallas, TX has been recording since the age of 10 after he was introduced to the game by So So Def CEO and hip hop legend Jermaine Dupri.

Now the artist who is still in high school though home-schooled is signed to the hit record label, Young Money Records after he received a once in a lifetime opportunity to open up for fellow Young Money artist, Lil Wayne. After he opened for the New Orleans native, he impressed so much that Wayne said Twist needed to be signed on the spot and the rest was set in stone.

The mellow and laid back artist mentioned he received the opportunity from just grinding and getting his name out there. His grind turned into fruition and his dream of becoming an artist on a major label became a reality.
From that point on, Twist life has seen him change as he came from the streets of Dallas to one of the most eagerly anticipated young artist in hip hop. He considers his label-mates, Drake and Lil Wayne as his older brothers [as he does not have any to call his own] and major influences on his development as an artist and person.

The Dallas native considers himself to be “different” than the average artist and also [he] knows his surroundings well creating projects for one of his targeted audiences, the kids. The humble teenager is now working on an animated series that will be based on his life and will feature on the popular 24-hour television cable channel, Cartoon Network.

To add to his already impressive resume, Twist is working on various new projects [ as an artist on one of the top labels in the game]. His first video with rapper Lil’ Chuckie called “Roger That”, will be a part of his new project and should be dropping soon.

Twist will also be doing projects and touring with industry heavyweights, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne & Drake in the future as well.

The artist has done so much in his young life, he has toured the country and he would love nothing more than to make his name abroad. He mentioned Germany as one of the places he would love to rock out, so our Dofattv.com Germany users & Lil Twist fans from the Western European country should expect a visit from the well-spoken and tranquil artist in the future.

Twist is living proof that young people can be successful even before they are able to purchase cigarettes in this country. He realizes the sky is the limit and is constantly looking for innovative projects to fatten his wallet and add to his popularity. So look out for big things from an artist that has matured far beyond his years presently and in the future.

So, in case you missed it, last night’s rap battle introduced seven new contenders and one hold-over in CartelBoss. The battle saw TheRealYungYung, a rapper from Charlotte NC, come out victorious in the weekly Wednesday night DofatTV competition.

The battle had one major talking point which featured a bout between Ms. Tee-Tee and, this week’s champ TheRealYungYung, in a semi-final round match-up. And in it, Tee-Tee made the Charlotte-based rapper sweat a little. In the end, YungYung was able to keep his composure and ultimately prevailed, but not without some controversy. As usual, the box was up to its old tricks and many felt Tee-Tee was the rightful winner.

The victor ascended to the throne by defeating SosWilliams unanimously in his first round match up. Then, in the previously mentioned battle, he defeated Tee-Tee in the most-debated bout of the night. To assume the title, he easily disposed of CartelBoss, who got to the final round because of the disqualification of his semi-final opponent, Youngpopeye. Cartel gave up his verse mid-way through his second round and all TheRealYungYung had to do was finish. This earned him his shot at incumbent champion, Isrealdeep.

During the first round matchup on DofatTV, Youngpopeye defeated Defdcypher in a battle that was ruined by the latter’s shaky connections. CartelBoss got rid of Gottidadon in his first round go and Ms. Tee-Tee out-rhymed Thasmuveone.

After the battle was finished, the fireworks began as Isrealdeep was called in to speak on his challenger, Yungyung. Isreal was anything but humble and said every competitor was terrible and unworthy.” I’m on cruise control right now.” He stated.
Shortly after, Former DofatTV Rap Battle Champion HimPhilly cammed up with a very somber tone and showed he is more about actions as opposed to words. He remained calm as Isreal berated him for not taking advantage of his opportunity. He also took shots at Philly’s Mom’s presence after Philly went missing in action during his title defense vs. another Former DofatTV Champ, Dj_1_Slick.

After Isreal went off on Philly, boasting his abilities, the previously mentioned Slick appeared and spoke his mind. As the friends turned rivals exchanged heated words, the box was calling for another battle on the spot. Tony Dofat, the owner of this site, upped the excitement and the ante as he proposed a battle of champions, both current and former. Isrealdeep will now battle Himphilly not for the title, but for cash this time. The amount has yet to be disclosed, but will be a minimum of $250 USD.

By this time, the room was incredibly hype and the box was calling for a battle royal between the champions. The tension finally boiled over as Slick called out Isreal on his lack of passion for hip hop and his relatively unknown status before DofatTV exposure. Isreal shot back at Slick calling him a bitter ex-champ that would be easy to beat again. This, of course, led to what became an all out shouting match resembling the set of Jerry Springer.

Pretty soon, the ooo’s and aww’s were flying, and the box was pleading for an all out war between Slick, Philly, Yungyung and Ms. Tee-Tee. Unfortunately however, that never came into fruition. Check the Yungyung and Ms. Tee-Tee battle video below!

So the bottom line is, make sure you tune in to next week’s must see rap competition: The Battle of Champions. The contenders are current champion Isrealdeep, and fan favorite HimPhilly.
