- How Justin Bieber Found His Hip-Hop Swag
Following the release of his hip-hop-heavy Believe, MTV News looks at the young pop star's swaggiest moments.
By Rob Markman, with additional reporting by Jocelyn Vena<P>You'd think a 1995 collaboration between the King of Pop, Michael Jackson and rap's widely recognized G.O.A.T., the Notorious B.I.G., would have made a bigger wave, but when MJ released <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2w1KXE5QMQ" target="_blank">"This Time Around"</a> with Biggie Smalls 17 years ago, mixing pop with hip-hop was still very taboo. Despite the top billing, the track hit with a relative thud. The truth is it just didn't feel organic, it's not like Mike grew up listening to rap in Gary, Indiana, in the 1960s, the art form as we know it today just didn't exist.</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> was a 1-year old when the King of Pop snagged the King of Hip-Hop for a feature. And unlike Jackson, he grew up during an era when rap stars like Biggie, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur were just as big as their pop counterparts — sometimes bigger. That's why Bieber mixes hip-hop so seamlessly on his new album <i>Believe.</i></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Scooter Braun Knows Justin Bieber Is 'Authentic'" id="vid:793827" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"One, I think they know it's authentic and two, you got to remember Justin's past," JB's manager Scooter Braun told MTV News. "I was the vice president of So So Def Records and then I left and Justin was the second artist I found after Asher Roth. So here's this 13-year-old living in Atlanta, no one knows who he is, and he's just riding around with me and we're in the studio with Ludacris. We're in the studio with T.I. We're in the studio with Big Boi from OutKast, hanging out and he got exposed to that really early."</P><P>Ludacris, Drake, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj all appear on the 13-track <i>Believe,</i> but JB's hip-hop jones didn't develop overnight. It's been years in the making. MTV News takes a look back at seven of Justin's defining hip-hop moments.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1629953/justin-biebers-baby-features-ludacris-rapping-about-first-love.jhtml"><b>"Baby" featuring Ludacris</b> </a><br> JB didn't have much rapper swag when he dropped "Baby" with Ludacris at the top of 2010, but the track sounded good, especially when Luda dropped his rapid-fire bars over the feel-good track. When he performed a remixed version of the track with fellow Canadian Drake at the 2010 Juno Awards, Justin further proved that he can rock with rap's finest.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1631018/we-world-remake-brings-lil-wayne-kanye-west-many-more-together-haiti.jhtml"><b>"We Are the World 25 For Haiti"</b></a><br> After the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010, Quincy Jones assembled an all-star cast of musicians like Kanye West, Usher, Janet Jackson and Justin Bieber to remake the 1985 classic. During the recording, the Biebs got to kick it with notable MCs like Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and his long-time friend Nipsey Hussle.</P><P><a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/06/19/justin-bieber-gifs-swag/"><b>The Swaggest GIFs Of Justin Bieber Ever!</a></b></P><P><a href="/news/articles/1646789/kanye-west-drops-justin-bieber-runaway-love-remix.jhtml"><b>"Runaway Love" Remix Featuring Kanye West and Raekwon</b> </a> <br> Justin Biebs proved he "ain't nothing to f--- with" in August 2010 when he linked up with Kanye West and Raekwon for his "Runaway Love" remix. The Chef and Yeezy rapped on the track which sampled Wu-Tang Clan's dusty underground favorite "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F--- Wit."</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/justin-biebers-vma-night/1647655/5199510/photo.jhtml"><b>JB and Nicki Sitting In A Tree</b></a><br> So what do Nas and Justin Bieber Have in common? OK, kissing Nicki Minaj on the cheek at the 2010 Video Music Awards doesn't really give Justin <i>that</i> much rap cred, the voluptuous Nicki could sing country music and we would've been just as jealous.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1649967/justin-bieber-displays-his-rap-skills-new-twitter-video.jhtml"><b>"Speaking in Tongues" Freestyle</b></a><br> Let's face it, if you plan on spitting rap bars, the name Justin Bieber just isn't going to cut it. Enter Shawty Mane: JB's swagged-out alter-ego. Back in October 2010, Justin showed that singing wasn't his only talent when he rapped over Vado and Cam'ron's "Speaking in Tongues." The freestyles didn't stop there; Shawty Mane also spit bars over the Throne's "Otis," Gang Starr's "DWYCK" and the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya?"</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1673011/justin-bieber-tyler-the-creator.jhtml"><b>The Biebs Shuts Up Tyler, the Creator</b></a><br> It takes a lot to quiet Odd Future's resident loud mouth Tyler, the Creator, but when he and JB met in February 2011, the multiplatinum pop star didn't let Wolf Haley get a word in edge wise. "When I got in there, he was talkin' about the 'Yonkers' video and sh--. It was weird, because I was sitting here starstruck, like, 'Oh, f---, it's Bieber. He's asking me questions.' I'm like, 'Shut the f--- up so I can talk to you,' " Tyler told MTV News.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1686591/justin-bieber-2-chainz-lil-swaggy.jhtml"><b>Lil Swaggy Is Born</b></a><br> Not only did 2 Chainz bless JB with a killer verse for his "Girlfriend" remix, the ATL hit-maker also blessed Bieber with a new moniker. "I call him Lil Swaggy," 2 Chainz told MTV News. Sounds like a winner to us.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Bieber Live'" id="id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake have more in common than a first name, but how do their solo careers stack up?
By Gil Kaufman<P>It's hard to remember now, but there was a time a decade ago when <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/timberlake_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Timberlake</a> elicited the same kind of screaming mobs of young girls that <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> does now. But these two pop icons have way more in common than just the same first name and the undying devotion of the ladies.</P><P>Both have conquered the pop music universe in a massive way, sold millions of albums and helped fundamentally change what is considered appropriate material for young male singers.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Lights Up New York Fans" id="vid:793032.id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"I think .. the comparison is a huge honor," Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, told MTV News about the numerous reviews comparing Bieber's evolution and sound to Timberlake's. "That is an iconic artist and someone who, when I was growing up, really set the tone for stars the same way Justin Bieber is for his generation ... A compliment of that nature is something that we embrace, but at the same time I think it's the easy comparison. I like to say things no one else will say: They're both white and both their names are Justin. That's the thing that everyone thinks but they won't say out loud. And I think the two of them feel that way."</P><P>To celebrate the release this week of Bieber's second full-length album, <a href="/news/articles/1687691/justin-bieber-believe-album-details.jhtml"><i>Believe,</i></a> we thought we'd take a look at how the Justins' careers stack up against each other.</P><P><B>Sales</B>: Though he's only released two solo albums in his 10-year career outside of 'NSYNC, Timberlake has hit it big both times, moving more than 10 million units of 2002's Grammy-winning <I>Justified</I> and an equal number for 2006's <I>FutureSex/LoveSounds</I>. Bieber busted out of the box in 2009 with the EP <I>My World</I>, which sold 3.2 million copies in the U.S. He followed with another EP, <I>My World 2.0,</I> which sold another 3.1 million copies in the U.S. His Christmas disc, <I>Under the Mistletoe</I> moved around 1.5 million and total world sales have put him in the 15 million range. But, given that Timberlake is semi-retired from music and <I>Believe</I> is expected to be one of the year's best sellers, it won't be long before the student should overtake the master. <B>Advantage</B>: Timberlake (for now)</P><P><B>Social Media</B>: Timberlake may have Bieber on sales at the moment, but nobody has leveraged social media more than the kid who got discovered on YouTube. Bieber's social media numbers are gawdy: 23.6 million Twitter followers, 44.5 million Facebook likes, more than 2.9 billion YouTube views, including nearly 750 million for the video for his breakthrough single, "Baby" and another 321 million for "Never Say Never." By contrast, Timberlake has staked out a smaller social media presence, amassing 12 million followers on Twitter, 16.1 million likes on Facebook and nearly 240 million YouTube views of his videos. <B>Advantage</B>: Bieber</P><P><img src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/bands/b/bieber_justin/vs_timberlake/fight.jpg"> <B>Big-Screen Success</B>: Bieber's concert movie, "Never Say Never," has taken its place as the highest-grossing concert movie of all-time with more than $73 million to date. While Bieber is expanding his movie palette with an upcoming <a href="/news/articles/1680896/justin-bieber-basketball-movie.jhtml">debut dramatic role</a> in a Mark Wahlberg basketball movie, Timberlake has already blazed a formidable trail in acting, which has become his primary focus. Counting animated films featuring his voice and such hits as "The Social Network" ($96 million), "Bad Teacher" ($100 million) and "Yogi Bear" ($100 million), Timberlake's films have grossed nearly $450 million to date. <B>Advantage</B>: Timberlake</P><P><B>Expanding the Brand</B>: While neither Justin has gone all-in on merchandising their name like some other pop stars (50 Cent, Jennifer Lopez), both have extended their brands in interesting ways. Bieber has released two perfumes (Girlfriend and Someday), a line of nail polish, a doll and a book. Timberland has a successful clothing line (William Rast), scents for men and women (Play for Him and Play for Her) a record label (Tennman Records), a golf course in his hometown of Memphis (Mirimichi), restaurant (Southern Hospitality) and a line of tequila (901). <B>Advantage</B>: Timberlake</P><P><B>Precociousness</B>: Sure, Timberlake got there first thanks to his time on the Mickey Mouse Club and in 'NSYNC, but he was an ancient 21 years old when he released his solo debut. Bieber is just 18 and is already on his fourth release, with a movie, books, several sold-out world tours under his belt and, like, Timberlake (Britney Spears), a very public romance with a fellow pop star (Selena Gomez). The comparisons will keep coming, but at the torrid pace he's moving, Bieber is well on his way to eclipsing Timberlake by the time he's old enough to drink. Your move, T. <B>Advantage</B>: Bieber</P><P><i>How do you think the careers of Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber compare? Leave your comments below!</i></p>

Переслать - Justin Bieber Headed For Year's Biggest Debut With Believe
Singer's second full-length studio album of original material predicted to sell more than 410,000.
By Gil Kaufman, with additional reporting by Jocelyn Vena<P>You'd be a fool to expect <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> to debut anywhere but the #1 spot on the <I>Billboard</I> 200 album chart next week. But experts are predicting that not only will JB top the tally, but he's headed for his best first-week ever and the likely crown of the year's biggest debut.</P><P>According to <a href="http://www.billboard.com/#/news/justin-bieber-kenny-chesney-headed-for-top-1007386952.story?utm_source=most_recent" target="_blank"><I>Billboard</I></a>, <a href="/news/articles/1685471/justin-bieber-believe-track-list.jhtml"><I>Believe</I></a>
 is on course to move between 410,000-440,000 units by the end of the reporting week on Sunday. If Bieber reaches those heights, he will move past the year's biggest debut to date, Madonna's <I>MDNA</I>, which opened with 359,000. Those kinds of numbers would also give Bieber his biggest first frame so far, beating the debut of 2010's <I>My World 2.0</I>, which moved 291,000 units in its first week.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Lights Up New York Fans" id="vid:793032.id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Before the expected numbers hit, Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, was already feeling bullish about the prospects. "I think it's gonna do well because I think people are really giving it a shot," he said of the album that <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20603635,00.html" target="_blank">critics</a> have been praising for its maturity. "At the same time, I think that's my biggest hope that people judge him on the music. That they go and they listen to the album and they don't go in with any expectations. There's a lot of hype around him because of who he is and just shut your eyes, put on your headphones, and put on the music and then just decide if this album is worthy of your time."</P><P>Bieber is also hustling hard to make sure he makes the biggest impact possible with <I>Believe</I>, from his <a href="/news/articles/1687984/justin-bieber-all-around-the-world.jhtml">drama-filled</a>
 prime-time NBC special to an MTV <a href="/news/articles/1687837/justin-bieber-live-behind-the-scenes.jhtml">"Bieber Live"</a>
 show that harkened back to the old <a href="/news/articles/1687822/justin-bieber-total-request-live.jhtml">"Total Request Live"</a>
 era that helped make Timberlake a superstar. Those appearances, plus his worldwide promo tour and a string of co-signs from some of raps biggest names, could help Bieber land the <a href="/news/articles/1687988/justin-bieber-believe-album-sales.jhtml">biggest debut sales week</a>
 of the year.</P><P>Even though he's burning the oil to get the word out to as many people as possible, Bieber is adamant about not sacrificing his art in the process. "I was very involved in the process [of making this album] -- I played instruments, produced, wrote -- so I want people to know it's not all hype," he said during the <a href="/news/articles/1687835/justin-bieber-live-recap.jhtml">"Live"</a>
 show. "I want people to know I've been working hard on my music. Focus on the music. Don't think I'm just this product pushed out there. I work hard, and music is really important to me. I see a lot of hate online, which is inevitable, but at the end of the day, I'm just trying to prove them wrong by making good music."</P><P>Maybe he's a bit biased (okay, of course he is), but Braun said that if people follow his advice and give Bieber a fair shake, "I think nine-and-three-fourths out of 10 people will say yes." We will find out on Wednesday when the new <I>Billboard</I> 200 is revealed.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Proving His Haters Wrong With 'Good Music'" id="vid:793035.id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

Bieber falls hard after crashing into a glass wall in Paris, in part one of NBC special.
By Jocelyn Vena<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> took it "All Around the World" for his <a href="/news/articles/1686091/justin-bieber-nbc-special.jhtml">NBC special</a>, named after the song of the same name. In it, Bieber heads to London, Norway and Paris to spread the gospel of his new album <i>Believe.</i> But before he started promoting the album, fans were treated to footage of him in the recording studio with the likes of pals Big Sean and Drake.</P><P>"I think <a href="/news/articles/1687691/justin-bieber-believe-album-details.jhtml"><i>Believe</i></a> is so cool. 'Believe' can be used in so many different ways," he said of the album's feel-good title. "Whether you believe in your dreams, believe in yourself."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Behind The Scenes With Justin Bieber" id="vid:793664" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Once the studio sessions for the album wrapped, Bieber hit the road for not only a worldwide promotional tour in support of his new music, but also to put on free shows for his fans. First, he's shown in <a href="/news/articles/1686156/justin-bieber-norway-chaos.jhtml">Norway</a>, where fans famously got a bit too excited over his appearance in Oslo. "I guess I'm cool with being a heartthrob," he said. "I'm 18 and having a lot of girls like me isn't a bad thing."</P><P>"I've never experienced anything like it. I'm experiencing what the Beatles went through, what Michael Jackson went through ... it's crazy," he said of the mayhem that took place.</P><P>Next up, Bieber and his team headed to London where he encountered a major snag: He got caught in an elevator, and his claustrophobia only amplified the situation. "I nearly just died guys!" he later said to his crew while getting into his car to head to a festival show in London.</P><P>Kelly Clarkson visited the pop star and joked about being a 30-year-old stalker hounding him for a picture. Later Bieber is seen greeting Katy Perry, whom he hugged and then joked, "We can just do that forever if you want."</P><P>While there are a lot of fun moments in his life of celebrity, Bieber does open up about sometimes wishing he could have quieter moments to himself. "There's times when I want to go back home and do nothing," he said. "At the end of the day, I feel like I have a responsibility."</P><P>The big moment in the special came when Bieber made his way to Paris. After serenading crowds of girls with a French version of "One Less Lonely Girl," the infamous concussion incident took center stage.</P><P>Leading up to the incident, Bieber was seen joking around with singer John Mayer, and everyone was excited for him to perform at the glass-enclosed building, the tallest in Paris.</P><P>After performing the track "Be Alright" (irony?), Bieber exited the stage and hit a glass wall but decided to continue his performance anyway.</P><P>Later on, Bieber is seen looking a bit hurt when he fainted walking down the stairs after the incident. An ambulance was called and everyone in his camp looked pretty worried about the star. Fans would later learn that he suffered a <a href="/news/articles/1686227/justin-bieber-paris-concussion.jhtml">concussion</a>.</P><P>Part one of the special aired Wednesday night on NBC, one day after Bieber officially dropped his album <i>Believe.</i> Part two will air Thursday night (June 21), when the rest of the concussion drama will play out.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Lights Up New York Fans" id="vid:793032.id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>
