So far, this Friday is turning out G.O.O.D. for Kanye West. Yesterday, a Miami judge threw out the lawsuit, Suge filed against him in May due to lack of evidence.

Hot 97’s DJ Absolut plans to file a lawsuit against Kia Shine for allegedly using his beat for Lil Wayne’s “Do It For The Boy”. 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
Back in 2005, Suge Knight was shot in the leg at an event hosted by Kanye West at the Shore Club in Miami. Now five years later, the former Death Row boss has filed a lawsuit for $1 million claiming that the club and Ye failed to provide adequate security. The trail date is set for Dec. 6th in Miami. No word whether Yeezy will be in attendance. Billboard
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
