YN and Rosenberg weren’t the only ones gettin’ their interview on backstage at the Drake show. The 1515 Boys were in the place-to-be also and they got Drizzy to admit his stannery respect for Kanye. 

Bonus: JC reviewed NY show:

Drake, 22, is an extremely adept student, pairing the whimsical, intricate rhymes of Lil Wayne with the melodic gifts and self-flagellation of Kanye West. He’s a braggart and a skeptic, a stud and a nerd.

Do you believe?

The homie Peter Rosenberg’s Hot 97 Who’s Next series was extra packed and star-studded last night with Drake as the headliner. Still and all that didn’t stop YN from bumrushing the backstage area and gettin’ his flip cam on. Hey who could stop me? Dude at the end I didn’t like too tough, we might have to have a nice conversation next time I see him.

Sidebar: The host also accosted Drake and surprise guest, Mr. West.

Hova Signing to B’s Label?

Hits Daily Double is still in Jay’s business and claims The Carters are soon-to-be labelmates. Let’s act like we haven’t heard this one before.

Several sightings of Columbia/Epic Label Group Chairman Rob Stringer and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation partner Jay Brown, on both coasts have led insiders to speculate about the possibility of the company landing at Sony Music.

Jay-Z, who inked a much-publicized $150 million, 360-deal with Live Nation in April, 2008, recently bought back his completed album from UMG for a reported $5 million, raising the question whether that album will now be part of the Sony pact.

Expect this deal to go down soon, say those close to the negotiations, and look for the production/management team’s output to be released by both Columbia and Epic, filling the void in Urban/Pop that has existed at the company since the ironic departures of first Mariah Carey and then, ex-hubby/label boss Tommy Motolla.

Got a feeling I’m not gonna be able to get the Big Homie to confirm this one but I’ll try. For you! I do it for hip-hop. Ha!

“Just a friendly message for everybody man who thought I was gone forever/Partner, it’s a year and a day and countin’ you understand that/By the time you hear this, I’ll probably be half way home/Now remember that, sucker (Laugh).”

Here’s the official version of the first single from the re-release of Paper Trail called Case Closed. Ah, so clever.
