The homie from Exclusive Access crashed the party yesterday at Drake’s second video shoot in the ATL. No shots from the actual video yet, just some behind the scenes of the other main principals on the other side. I promise you pervs, I won’t rest til I get your Paris Morton shot. Ha!
“And no I’m not sayin’ I’m the nicest. I just live life like it.” Drake’s verse didn’t make the cut on “Aston Martin Music”, but his bars have just been released and it’s clear that he should’ve. Oh well. Teflon Don in stores July 20th. nation

A few weeks ago, Drake told Funkmaster Flex backstage at Hot 97’s Summer Jam that he drew inspiration for his sophomore LP after listening to Yeezy’s new set. That’s powerful.
These days, it seems as if nearly every song utilizes truncated similes. The style pioneered by Big Sean has been used by Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and most notably, Drake. In an interview with Allhiphop, Drizzy says he regrets adopting the flow, but doesn’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade. Macy’s! AllHipHop.com: How much do Young Money artists bounce off each other?

Here, photographer Jonathan Mannion recounts Drake and his grandmother’s interaction during the rapper’s photo shoot for FADER magazine. A replay of the doc airs today at 4 PM EST on MTV.
Just got home from the craziness at South Street Seaport where a free Drake show turned into a mini-riot before Drizzy could even arrive. While it’s always fun to blame everything on po-po, I really think they had no choice. After a hour and a half of kids standing on top of each other with no action or no music playin’, things were bound to go left. And they really did! Craziest moment: I think I saw someone toss a […]

That song’s lyrics were used in Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” and last September, it was revealed that Shine was compensated for it. Absolut says the rapper agreed to pay him 20% of the residuals but breached the contract. Reps for Shine have yet to comment on the suit. ny daily news
This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. 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.
