NEW MUSIC: THE ONE VIDEO, MARIAH CARE REDO'S 80'S CLASSIC

I hate it when a song's already been on the radio for months and months & the artist/label finally decides to make a music video for it. . . but it's Mary J Blige so I guess I'll let it slide. Here's the video for The One ft. Drake:

And Mariah Carey has redeemed herself, vocally, I don't know as far as album sales yet but she shows us why she has one of the best voices & is a legend, in the the remake of Foreigner's 80's classic I Wanna Know What Love Is:

Sorry I've been on hiatus. Crazy busy! Not like anyone cares.

NEW MUSIC: FOREVER FT ALL STARS

Wanna know what crack sounds like? :

This is the record from Lebron James' More Then A Game movie I was telling you guys about that was suppose to premiere tomorrow but was leaked early & thank Heavens it did!

My speakers are on fiyah!! BULLET!

NEW MUSIC: JAY-Z FT DRAKE

A track called Off That off of Jigga's Blueprint 3 album has been leaked & its featuring Drizzy:

If it wasn't obvious for you, the song was produced by Timbo.




Sounds dope but why didn't Drake get a verse???

DIGITAL GIRL REMIX & RUN THIS TOWN WORLD PREMIERE, THE CARTERS BODYGUARD CHARGED

Jamie Foxx decided to release a music video for the remix to his song Digital Girl featuring Drake instead of the original. The song includes Kanye West & The Dream:

I like Drake's flow in this record & it's a very futuristic video, although it reminds me of Lloyd's Girls Around The World but I could dig it.






We've been seeing trailers and clips for Run This Town but here is the full length video before it world premieres tonight on MTV:

I feel like a chicken! The song's ill but not a classic however this dope ass video might've changed that! Filthy gangsta! It did not disappoint me!!!









Speaking of Jay-Z, the situation in Croatia with the papz has escalated to Julius, Jigga's bodyguard, being charged with property damages & physical attacks!




He appeared in court today for 2 hours with his lawyer & interpreters & was found guilty on the charges.





Croatian authorities temporarily took away Julius’ passport but returned it to him today. For being found guilty, he was ordered to pay 554 kuna ($107 US), and the additional amount of 679 HRK ($131 US) for the costs of court proceedings.




The court commented that this was an unnecessary incident which was carried away by an arrogant bodyguard? Luckily Julius' punishment wasn't too harsh since the Croatian news were reporting that the tripod throwing started when everyone hopped into the boat & Julius proceeded to punch the papz' foot repeatedly & then smashed his camera light.





But really, am I the only one who fully watched this video???

DRAKE NEWS & AMERIKA'S MOST WANTED TOUR STALLED AGAIN!

Drake is still on that mixtape game!

He will be releasing a free mixtape called So Far Gone on September 15th. The disc will feature his massive hits Best I Ever Had and Successful, as well as a new song that will gel into his actual album called Thank Me Later.

Besides the mixtape, Drizzy also has an operation lined up for his knee from which he tore his ACL while playing basketball & then collapsing on stage during one of the tour stops on the Amerika's Most Wanted Music Festival.

Speaking of the festival, they're currently up north in Canada & word was spread that 2 stops on the tour have been canceled for unknown reasons.

Fans who had purchased tickets arrived at GM Place yesterday only to learn the concert had been canceled and tonight's show at Rexall Place in Alberta will be too!

Though the reasons remain unknown, sources are saying that one of the performers, quite possible Lil Wayne who has pending charges against him, was not allowed entry into Canada.

Nicki Minaj, one of Young Money's own who's also on tour, tweeted that authorities were searching 2 of their tour buses vigorously with canines and all!

This tour can't seem to catch a break! Although Canada has a history of having issues with American rappers entering their soil.

UPDATE:

Young Money' reps put out a statement saying,

“Lil Wayne due to illness, was advised by his doctors to cancel the Young Money Presents America’s Most Wanted Festival tour stops in Western Canada,” the Cash Money imprint said in a statement. “The tour was scheduled to come through Vancouver and Edmonton on August 17 and 18. Wayne, his band and crew arrived in Canada with full intention of performing, but were forced to cancel the dates due to doctor-mandated rest. [The] Young Money Presents America’s Most Wanted Music Festival will continue their tour routing and extends an apology to the fans for the cancellation.”

Yeah okay.

BOW WOW'S A CASH MONEY MILLIONAIRE

Bow Wow informed us all via Twitter yesterday night that he's officially signed with Cash Money Records!

He then took to a live stream where he talked further about the deal saying, "Its the triple threat Bow, Wayne, Drake. Its about to be real stupid. Any Bow Wow fan that I let down..what I am getting ready to do, I got y'all. I apologize to the fans that I let down. It’s finna to go down. Its on now, baby. Me, Drake and Weezy…lets get to the money.”

So this was what that whole hocus pocus mystery video was about??? You didn't need to do all of that Bow Wow & Lil Wayne is smartening up his marketing skills isn't he.




Cash Money is looking right nowadays!

DRAKE WANTS TO LOSE HIS LEG

Drake sure is persistent!



Even after his knee giving in and despite what the doctors say & even though he'll be going in for surgery this week, Drizzy showed up in his hometown of Toronto for the Amerika's Most Wanted Tour stop with cane & all:

He performed what else, Best I Ever Had.




What is wrong with this guy? If he doesn't sit his ass down and chill out for a few, he won't have a leg to walk with!

AMERIKA'S MOST WANTED TOUR: DRAKE COLLAPSES & CHRIS BREEZY'S VIRGINIA SURPRISE

Drake decided to continue on with the Amerika's Most Wanted tour, despite his doctors warnings that if anything should happen and his ACL is torn again, he may never be able to walk again! Well in true hip hop fashion, Drizzy did what he wanted to do and this is the end result at the concert in Camden, NJ:

Lil Wayne is like wtf is goin on and did u really have to skip around Drake?




Word has it that Drake's getting operated on in a hospital in Philly.





However in the end, the show must go on and the next stop on tour was in Virginia Beach. With Drake missing due to injury, Weezy had to enlist someone to take his place for now:

And if anyone doubted or forgot how this boy moves:

Ugh! I wish he opened the BET Awards this year man. . .

BABY SAYS CASH MONEY WILL RELEASE 6 ALBUMS

In a recent interview with AllHipHop, Cash Money Record’s co-founder Baby revealed that the label's planning to release up to six albums total between September and October of this year.

Baby gave fans an idea of who's album will be coming out after who's saying, “We’re putting out five albums, we gonna do a blow out, Drake album, my album, Young Money, Wayne album. We gon’ put ‘em all out in one month, September going into October. G. Malone and 2 Pistol probably come out in between all of that.”

That's a whole lotta Cash Money at one time! I know the thugs are lovin it.

DRAKE INTERVIEW WITH ABC NEWS

That's pretty cool ABC News decided to interview Drake. Here's the footage. They definitely brought out the intellectual side of him:

DRAKE: BEST I EVER HAD

I'm in my video groove. Here's the Best I Ever Had video that everyone was dying to see. Big shouts to the Brookna!!!

I hate it. It sucks ass but what do you guys think???

DRAKE OFFICIALLY SIGNS WITH YOUNG MONEY

The Young Money crew. Yes that's nasty (literally) Nicky Minaj, Jae Millz, Weezy, Tyga and oh oh who's that?!!!


Yes that's Drake and yes, he has officially signed with Lil Wayne and his Young Money Records for a reported $4 million.


There was plenty of speculation about who Drake was going to sign with since he doesn't have a deal nor an album! Yes I know, you're all probably scratching your heads wondering how so when his songs are all over the radio! Label heads were dying to get the most sought after rapper on their company but Weezy and Baby lucked out. Atlantic Records offered him $2 million but Drake decided to wait it out.


"Today is a definitely a comfortable day for me, having my team now that's been in place for a couple of years. It's just a great day," Drake told MTV News. "It's something new, but it feels familiar."


And according to MTV, it was a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money Records and his upcoming album Thank Me Later will be distributed by Universal Republic.


"Independent is a funny term. I can go independent, but you need distribution, period. You need somebody to distribute your record and you need that army that a label has to really push the record." Drake said.

Young Money and Drake. Wasn't this obvious?????? I wonder how much cash Baby and Wayne offered him?? Must be a whole lot for Drake to turn down offers from almost every label in existence!



*There's a rumor going around that Drake was robbed right before the BET Awards on Sunday when he was walking around a L.A shopping center. Close sources to him say that his back and leg were hurt.


Is that why he was sitting on that stool during his entire performance???

And speaking of Drake, his video for Best I Ever Had should be coming shortly. I told you all a little while ago that Kanye is directing it and that's true. Rihanna starring in it however? Untrue.


XXL reports that the Young Money clan, Kanye West, his on again/off again girlfriend Amber Rose, Fabolous, DJ Clue, Trey Songz and Jay-Z himself (Drake's idol) were all present at Bishop Ford High School in Brooklyn to shoot the video.

CAUGHT UP!

Rihanna was looking fab last night in NYC. So where was she going???????




Drake & Rihanna have been trying soooooooo frickin hard to squash the rumors that they're dating.

Well last night at the Black Eyed Peas private concert in NYC, they were spotted together, trying to duck from all the cameras. Luckily one photographer got a hold of this!

Look at Drakes expression. LOL priceless. . .

WHAT A VISION

Sources are saying that Drake is currently in NYC filming his Best I Ever Had video & its being directed by none other then Kanye West.

Think he could top that?


I hear Rihanna is set to play his co-star in the video. This will only spark those rumors again.


Kanye to the & Rihanna??? This is gonna be so dope.

LIL WAYNE, SOULJA BOY, YOUNG JEEZY & DRAKE TO TOUR

Rumor has it that Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Young Jeezy and Drake will be touring together.

That'll be one heck of a tour if it's true.


I know that Lil Wayne & Drake are definitely touring together next month though.


We'll see if this happens.

DRAKE WRITES FOR RIHANNA

So there were many rumors of former Degrassi star & newest sensation to the rap game Drake and Rihanna being an item, after sources told the NY Daily News that the two were spotted making out together at Flashdancers on Broadway a few weeks ago. Although the two denied it, Drake didnt deny the fact that he's currently working with the "Umbrella" singer.

“I’m actually writing for Rihanna right now,” Drake tells DJ Semtex for her follow up album to Good Girl Gone Bad.

“I’ve never in my mind felt like, “Oh I could probably write something crazy for Rihanna,” that wasn’t my first thought. But being put up to the task, we’re coming up with some special stuff. It’s crazy.”


Hmmmmm interesting to see what kind music they'll create together. Should be good!
