Drake-Do It All

We can thank Karen Civil for this one..

Two gold albums. And one is well on its way to platinum status. These are the type of stats that ATF frontman Drake is boasting at the current moment. The EP of his uber-successful mixtape So Far Gone recently reached eclipsed the 500,000 sold plateau this week. Thank Me Later passed that mark in its second week of retail existence and should be kicking down the door of platinum status in the coming weeks. Even with plans in motion to start his second album (and while raving about Trey Songz’s new album), he’s still making sure TML is in rotation for at least the rest of the summer. Yesterday, with the assistance of Anthony Mandler, the video for his Lil Wayne assisted “Miss Me” was shot in Atlanta. Today, the video for “Fancy” is set to go down alongside T.I. and Swizz Beatz.

But the time between now and the new album has to be filled up somehow, right? The first offering from No More Thank Yous an unofficial mixtape that dropped today. I was able to obtain the CDQ for track one entitled “Do It All.”

Gettin’ stupid paid, off of smart decisions/I’m the man now, I guess that part’s a given/Someone please tell me the problem with my competition/I ask wassup, and they just always say the cost of livin’….

The record harbors the same formula which Drake has used to propel himself near the top of Hip-Hop’s elite. With success comes its trappings, benefits and the appeal of the fast life – all of which Drake has become accustomed to throughout his rise to fame. The Rob Holladay produced track allows him to speak on all of these and more. Combining this with his recent showing on “Paris Morton Music,” NMTY appears to be heading in the right direction.

The mixtape also features a new tracked produced by Polow Da Don titled “To The Floor” featuring RichBoy & Lloyd.

Fail Moment of The Week: RIAA spends $58 Million suing file sharers, only get 2% back

The RIAA's "business plan" is even worse than I'd guessed it was.

The RIAA paid Holmes Roberts & Owen $9,364,901 in 2008, Jenner & Block more than $7,000,000, and Cravath Swain & Moore $1.25 million, to pursue its "copyright infringement" claims, in order to recover a mere $391,000. [ps there were many other law firms feeding at the trough too; these were just the ones listed among the top 5 independent contractors.]

If the average settlement were $3,900, that would mean 100 settlements for the entire year.

As bad as it was, I guess it was better than the numbers for 2007, in which more than $21 million was spent on legal fees, and $3.5 million on "investigative operations" ... presumably MediaSentry. And the amount recovered was $515,929.

And 2006 was similar: they spent more than $19,000,000 in legal fees and more than $3,600,000 in "investigative operations" expenses to recover $455,000.

So all in all, for a 3 year period, they spent around $64,000,000 in legal and investigative expenses to recover around $1,361,000.

Raekwon talks about his encounter with Eminem

Raekwon Speaks on Eminem Collaboration

By Ahmed - Today, 05:17 AM - Boxden > The Hip-Hop Spot


The Chef and Slim Shady may have something to add on the menu shortly. Raekwon told XXLMag that he met Eminem at Switzerland’s Openair Festival over the weekend and they discussed the possibility of working together.

Rae said it was the first time he met the Detroit lyricist and the two realty hit it off. “He’s a good dude,” Rae said of Em. “I respect him as bein’ one of the top elites in the game and I respect him as being a man, too."

The Wu-Tang MC shared that during their encounter the two spoke on recording a song together. “We schemin’ and plottin’,” he said of the possible collaboration. “The last statement me and him left off on and the conversation I was tellin’ him like, ‘Yo, you might need to make the beat’ and he gave me that look and we both walked away from each other like, ‘Word, you right, we might have to do that like that.’ So get ready man this is gonna happen soon.”

But first up for Rae is the release of C-N-N’s new album, The War Report 2: Report the War, on his Ice Water imprint. The sequel to the group’s seminal 1997 debut is on shelves today. Along with Lex Diamonds, who appears on three tracks, the disc also features cameos from Busta Rhymes, Nas, The LOX and Faith Evans.

Weezy's new letter to the fans

With just 113 days left until his release, Lil Wayne gives an update on his status..

Hello world… I’m good. Counting the days and still smiling. Most of those smiles come from hearing my kids’ voices over the phone. The others come from reading fan mail. Let me just say that I have the best fans in the world! The devotion, dedication, support, love, and most of all, prayers are simply the best. I never imagined that I could have such an impact on people’s lives. Because of this, I vow to be a bit more careful of what I say.

So I’ve been writing and let me be the first to tell you that the lyrics that I’m writing are… well there’s no word that I can think of that properly defines them. Amazing would be too typical and perfect would be unfair. I listen to the radio sometimes, emphasis on sometimes, and I hear the new music. I like some. I applaud my Young Money family for what they’re doing. As I’m not surprised. This is what we’re supposed to do. Congrats to Drake and Nicki for all their recent success. Those 2 are going to have me retiring early. I love my team. Much love to Tez and Mack. I know that people are inquisitive of what I do all day, so here goes. I wake up around 11AM. Have some coffee. Call my kids, and my wonderful mother. I then shower up. Read fan mail. Have lunch. Back on the phone. Read a book or write some thoughts down. Have dinner. Phone. Pushups. Then I listen to ESPN on the radio. Read the bible, then sleep. That’s my day.

I’ll end this letter, but never my love. I’m gone. Oh, and how ‘bout dem Lakers!?!

P.S. I thank my fans for appreciating me the way you do.

Tunechi.

ODB's widow sells final album for 10K

According to ODB's ex-manager Jarred Weisfeld, millions in possible profits were lost by the widow rushing a deal.
The widow of rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard hawked his prized final album for a song. So says Weisfeld who claims Icelene Jones quietly signed away the rights to "A Son Unique," the singer's posthumously- released album, and spent the proceeds. "She sold out for peanuts," said Weisfeld, who said he was told the price was as little as $10,000. Weisfeld believed that the album could have brought in millions for ODB's survivors, who include his mother, Cherry Jones, and four baby mamas who bore his children. Familymembers and Weisfeld have squared off in Brooklyn Surrogate Court, for control over what's left of his career earnings. Icelene Jones did not return calls. (New York Post)
Prior to being shelved, the album was given an iTunes release in November 2009.

The Dream & Christina Millian break up

Guess this means the honeymoon’s over. After tying the knot last October, The-Dream and Christina Milan have apparently called it quits. Earlier today, photos of Dream frockling on the beach with his assistant emerged on the net. According to US Weekly, a rep said the couple threw in the towel before the New Year. The singers also have a five month old named, Violet. Might be time to break out that make up bag, bruh.

Eminem at T in the Park..refuses to walk 40 feet to stage/Till I Collapse/Cinderella Man (Live)

Eminem reportedly refused to walk 40 feet to the stage for his headlining performance at T In The Park on July 10. The rapper, 37, is alleged to have been concerned that he would get mud on his trainers and demanded transportation to take him to the stage.

According to the Sunday Mail, organisers had to rush to hire a coach for him. He then walked to the coach with plastic bags on his feet to not get his sneakers mud and dirt on them.

By the way, Eminem shouted out Lil Wayne saying “Free Lil Wayne!” during the performance.

Jay-Z & DJ Green Lantern-Creative Control (Cover & Tracklist)

Before it was the mighty Neil Armstrong, DJ Green Lantern infamously toured with Jigga Man as his #1 on the 1’s and 2’s. In fact, around the time of his 2006 album Kingdom Come Green & Jay had intended to drop ‘Presidential Invasion’ — a promotional mixtape created while the two were touring Africa and promoting Jay’s “The Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life” conquest to aid African countries in the pursuit of clean water. That mixtape never materialized, and the hip-hop world was left waiting for that elusive Hova v. Evil Genius collaboration.
