For those who haven’t seen the America’s Most Wanted tour live yet, Lil Wayne ends each concert with a tribute to MJ. Last night in VA as “Billie Jean” played, hometown fuck boy Chris Brown joined the fun and proved he’s still got all the right moves. Have we fully forgiven this guy yet? I missed the announcement.

The 1515 Boys delve deep into the record deal we’ve been hearing about for months. Diddy breaks down how he got a big piece of the Red Cafe pie and plugs the Welcome To Bad Boy mixtape.

“We thought it would be a great idea to collaborate, to put our forces together, to ensure the success of Red’s career,” Diddy added. “He’s been hustling on the scene for, like, seven years now. Maybe longer than that. He’s just now coming into his own. It’s a 50/50 split. It’s no secret to the deal. That’s the best way to do partnerships with your friends and family. Hopefully, we can join our forces together and take Red to the place he needs to be taken to. He’s one of the dopest MCs right now, and he’s honed his craft. The type of music he chose to rock on top of makes him a unique MC.”
 
Alright already, go make some hits.

“When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up my childish ways.”— The Holy Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:11

Now, I’ve never been one to clock another man’s paper, but I think it’s time for an intervention. A moissante diamond encrusted toy car? I mean, really. You’re 19-years-old DeAndre. You know, an adult. Now would probably be a good time time to start acting like one. Yes, you’re entitled to spend your money however want, but as a public figure, your prodigal habits help perpetuate stereotypes regarding Blacks and finance. Hey, I’m no Suze Orman, but at least I’m smart enough to know the difference between guns and butter.

Drizzy Speaks On Surgery

Recovering from his pratfall Friday night, Drake penned a note to his fans:

This bottle of Opus One is low but my spirits are high my friends. I am about 2 hours away from Toronto, CA where I will be spending the next chunk of time recovering from a surgery that I now must have. I embarked on this tour with a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL and due to the events that happened the other night lord only knows what other damage I have done. On the bright side I will begin the reflecting and soul searching that its going to take to make this album and my outfit on the night I fell was crack. I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given because even with this new found success I am still the kid who wanted this more than anything in the world. Its funny when I read comments from previous fans who have lost interest because of the radio play and exposure I have. I just want to assure anyone reading that nothing has changed on my end. I refuse to get comfortable, I refuse to fall in line and follow anyone elses formulas. I still work as if So Far Gone had never dropped and I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to gain entry to this game.

“Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will”

See you soon.

Hey, Jay-Z wasn’t the only MC who tore down APW Friday night. Kamaal did his thing on another stage a few minutes before the big headliner. Here during his MJ Tribute (every artist must have one!), the Abstract shows off his “Dancing Machine” moves before divin’ into his Dilla-produced banger from The Renaissance.

Young Jeezy “I Luv It”/”Go Getta” (Live at Jones Beach)

By the time I walked into the arena last night, Soulja Boy was finishin’ up his set with “Turn My Swag On.” I looked around and was like, “This is some strange shit, a rap show right near the beach—the fuckin’ sun is still out for Chrissakes”. It especially got weirder for me when Da Snowman came out and did his entire set before it even turned dark. Guess YN don’t like outdoor hip-hop shows. Jenkins deserves better!

Sidebar: Again like I said on Twitter, Jeezy’s junkyard band lost. What hurt Diddy-like audition did he find these fools at?

You know Mr. Carter’s “father” had to represent during the night’s festivities. Here Cash Money’s one-two punch run through a few of their finest musical moments together. Like I said on Twitter, “Always Strapped” is quietly one of the best joints of the year. 

Lil Wayne Says Drake Is Havin’ Surgery Today?

Last night at the America’s Most Wanted show in Jones Beach, Weezy F spoke on his protege Drake’s recent re-injury and says that a lil Sunday surgery was on the sked. Why do I not believe him? He then goes into “3 Peat.”

Pardon that muffled bass and the white bright spotlight.
