Lil’ Kim Sets PayPal Record ?

Tuesday, February 15 2011 9:12 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Gossip

By Lil’ Kim’s own accord, her old new mixtape Black Friday has made her the top seller in PayPal history. Instead of giving the tape away for free, she’s sellling it for $10 a pop. Hard to believe in one day, Kimmy moved 113,000 mixtapes. Six years ago, it took a week for her last album, The Naked Truth to sell 109,000 copies.

But don’t get it twisted, the Double R can’t knock the hustle. In fact,  YN put his money where his mouth is earlier today. It wasn’t until after his purchase however, he discovered the tape was being shipped via mail. What the bloodclot?! So much for a rapid refund.

Pusha Discusses Mixtape & Consequence

Tuesday, February 15 2011 3:23 PM EST | Posted by: Amaya | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Pusha chopped it up with Complex and touched on on his upcoming mixtape Fear Of God, new single and Consequence’s claims of shark biting.

“He said that I stole his lines? Wow. Nah, I haven’t really heard much about it. Everyone who’s been hitting me up has been telling me how crazy this song is. I don’t know. I mean, I haven’t taken anything from Consequence, or anybody else, for that matter. Just for the record. I’ve been in the studio with Cons, and we’ve talked, and numerous days we’ve laughed, and…I don’t know. I missed that one. The way I’ve got to look at it now: I don’t even know if that’s for me. I can’t even believe anything like that’s for me, very honestly. I mean, until, you know, he told me something like that. I don’t know what everybody else has got going on, but ‘My God’ is an awesome record. [Laughs.]”
