The upcoming three-day expo which kicks off April 22-24 at L.A.’s Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, features musicians, songwriters, executives and others who come together yearly to provide expertise and ideas to enhance the music industry. Let’s hope Lova Lova asks some good shit. Ha. Billboard
50 Cent’s nemeses team up once again for this new track produced by Scott Storch. More than likely this will end up on Game’s R.E.D. Album. It’d be criminal for these strings to go to waste. 57th Ave
With Just Blaze lending a hand, hip-hop’s ivy leaguers and Colin Munroe plot for world domination with the latest single off Land Of Make Believe. UHTN
“Come with me to the White House, get cha suit up…” This almost looks like a reenactment of this 2005 XXL cover. Here are two photographs from Jigga and Trigga‘s visit to casa blanca yesterday morning. Hov even brought his first lady along for the trip. Props: Llindyrr
Fred Durst sure does love the Wu. Remember this collaboration? Well this time around, Raekwon’s filling in for Meth and set to appear on Limp Bizkit’s comeback disc, Gold Cobra. We’re all N 2 Gether now! Heads Up: PRP
Heard this one too. Jay Rock lets loose another track from his album, Follow Me Home. Guess Rock’s starting from square one. Heads Up: OS
The wait’s over. Here’s Drake’s first single off his debut album, Thank Me Later. Produced by Boi-1da. The hype by me and you. OVO
Can’t we just all get along? This afternoon, members of Gucci Man’s crew (including Waka Flocka) confronted Jeezy’s clique in an Atlanta clothing store. A fight ensued and Waka’s security detail fired a gun during the melee. No injuries were reported, but an eyewitness said of Waka, “Whoever he is he’s got a big swollen eye now.” This past January the duo ended their long-standing beef on air with DJ Drama.

Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
