New music from the few hottest rappers in the game right now! Kanye West, T.I., Jay-Z & Lil’ Wayne have all decided to collaborate on one track titled “Swagger Like Us!” The track is sampled from M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes.” Can you even imagine the buzz … or hype this song will cause?! I’m not sure who’s album this will appear on because Jay-Z, T.I., or maybe even Kanye are all working on new albums. But anyhow, I know ya’ll have to check this beat!
Here is the T2W video premiere of Cassie’s latest single, “Official Girl”, featuring Lil’ Wayne which will be on here upcoming sophomore album.

Weezy was spotted rockin these bright air forces back in June at the South Florida Summer Fest, while D. Woods was spotted wearing hers yesterday outside of MTV studios.

Lil Wayne is featured on the cover of the September 2008 issue of Blender Magazine. The Carter III, the latest album from the popular rapper is currenlty sitting in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 with over 2 million albums sold, in just under a few months!

“Can’t Believe It” is slated to be the first single from T-Pain’s forthcoming album, Thr33 Ringz (Jive/Zomba) in stores this Fall. The song, as well as the rest of the tracks on the album, features production by T-Pain himself. Lil’ Wayne features as a guest appearance on this track as well as another that will make the album. As far as what I think of the track? I don’t know, I mean, it reeally has to grow on me eventually because the snap-music-Autotune-whining thing is getting repetitive (with other people copying him); though, it is his style and signature. I love T-Pain and Wayne but I think they can do better, but then again, what do I know? I only listened to this a couple times …
Here the official T2W video premiere of “Got Money“, featuring T-Pain, by Lil’ Wayne from his platinum-selling album Tha Carter III (Interscope) in stores now.
Abkco Music Inc, a musical publishing company that owns the rights to the band’s song “Play With Fire” sued the rapper in Manhattan federal court Thursday, saying he released an altered version of the song without permission. The company is suing Lil Wayne, his guest artists and his record company, a unit of Universal Music Group, of copyright infringement and unfair competition. Abkco also said that Lil Wayne’s version uses “explicit, sexist and offensive language” and could lead the public to believe the company and the Rolling Stones approved of and authorized the new version.

MIAMI, FLORIDA // SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH 2008 » On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the “South Florida Summer Fest 2008†Concert featuring Birdman, DJ Khaled, Ace, Colby O’donis, Casley, Keyshia Cole, Akon, Lil’ Wayne and More live from The BankAtlantic Center. The show started at exactly 7:00 PM with opening acts Selena Serrano, S.O.U.R.C.E International Clique, Michelle Del Amore, Wyneter Gordon, and a bunch of local artists performing their radio hits like Grindmode’s “I’m so “High” and “Ecstasy“, Ball Greezy’s “Shoneâ€, Colby O’Donis’ “What you got“, and last but not least Casely (if you think Chris Brown, Usher and Ne-Yo imitate MJ alot, then you haven’t seen Casely live!) who performed really well, but WAY too long for an opening act, sang about 4 or 5 songs from his upcoming album 1985 including his radio hit “Emotional“.
Diddy still has some dues to pay to Ciroc for not sticking to their deal and promoting their brand to the fullest, so he and the Vodka company threw an afterparty for the 2008 BET Awards Tuesday night in L.A. at the Roosevelt Hotel. Guestlist included: Lil’ Kim, Lil Wayne, Michelle Williams, Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Ashanti, and more! Follow the break for more flicks from the shindig…
Usher performing “In This Club” as the opener for the 2008 BET Awards, which aired last night live from Los Angeles.
The 2008 BET Awards went down last night, and while there were a few lackluster performances (Usher’s being one of them), there were a few memorable, surprising, and exciting moments. One being Alicia Keys’ performance when she brought out SWV, En Vogue, and TLC! Another notable performance of the evening was Ne-Yo’s, where he showed us he can hang with the big dogs when it comes to his dance moves - he even brought out the Jabbawockees (winners of MTV’s America’s Dance Crew). Chris Brown did his thing as well, and surprised everyone when he brought out Ciara. Did Rihanna approve of this beforehand? I’m curious to know. And speaking of Rihanna, did anyone else notice how far she’s come along, as far as her live vocals? I was really impressed when she performed Take A Bow! And last, but most certainly not least, on my list of the best performances of the night, Lil’ Wayne! He kind of scared me towards the end of the show because it seemed like he wasn’t going to come out. The show was already running 15 or 20 minutes over when he was introduced. But he did come out, and he showed us exactly how and why he has sold nearly 1,500,000 copies of Tha Carter: III so far! He started out with Got Money (feat. T-Pain), paid homage to Static Major (R.I.P.) with Lollipop, and ended off his performance with A Millie. He had the whole crowd hyped, and ended off the show perfectly.
While the 2008 BET Awards did have its good moments, much of the show left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I expected a lot more from Usher. His performance was probably the most hyped up (pre-show), and ended up being one of the absolute worst of the night. While I love Keyshia Cole’s Heaven Sent, she really needs to work on her live vocals … and her stage presence. She had a lot of energy, she just didn’t know how to keep it all together. She looked like she was doing too much to me.
In my opinion, the 2007 BET Awards were much better. The performances, the overall show, and oh yeah … the host! Who the hell approved of D.L. Hughley being the host of this year’s show? I hope they received a pink slip in their box this morning. BRING MO’NIQUE BACK!!!

Lil Wayne has plenty to celebrate Apparently, his entire album being leaked a week before his album dropped didn’t stop die hard Weezy fans from hitting up stores like Best Buy, CircuitCity, and Target on Tuesday for the release of his new album The Carter III. According to Billboard Magazine Weezy sold 423,000 copies in its first day of release (Mariah Carey sold 463,000 the first week) and is set to sell 850,000 to 950,000 copies the first week!
The excessive leaks and bootlegging of Lil Wayne’s new album haven’t prevented it from being a hot seller: The rapper’s “Tha Carter III” sold 423,000 copies in its first day of release, according to Billboard magazine, citing figures from Nielsen SoundScan.
With such sales, Lil Wayne is on pace to sell about 900,000 copies of the CD in its first week and post the best sales debut of the year. Last year’s first-week top-seller was from Kanye West, who sold some 957,000 copies of “Graduation.”
We won’t know the exact numbers until this weekend, but if this is true then Congrats Weezy! The Carter III is in stores NOW! Make sure you go out and support!
