November 16, 2011 When Drake said that he didn't just want to do a album release concert, I don't think anyone expected this to happen.
Drake decided that instead of a traditional 'Take Care' concert, for his CD that is projected to sell more than 600k in its first week.
He would issue a bold challenge the man who gave him his break in the first place.

Eminem has never been the kind of guy to keep things bottled up inside him. So I guess we shouldn't be surprised he is opening up about the side effects of his drug use.
In an interview with Rolling Stone he talked about when he first started to discover that he was losing his memory.
What's even more scary is what Eminem thinks is causing the memory loss.
A lot of different rumors are going around about Young Money rapper Lil Wayne and the newest is he's recording sequels to his 'Rebirth' and 'I am Not a Human' albums. Weezy hasn't confirmed any of this, but label mate/friend Mack Maine said "these different series of records allow for different kinds of rhymes." Also it's said that Wayne will finally finish the joint album with Juelz Santana, but no word on the colaboration album with T-Pain.
Check out a track that just hit the web from 2005 called "G'd Up" featuring Mack Maine & Curren$y below.
October 18, 2011 Nicki Minaj has referred to herself as the 'female Weezy' more than once, but now she finally proves it.

Lastly according to MediaTakeOut.com, Drizzy isn’t happy with his arrangement at Young Money and he's planning on leaving the label soon. Two weeks ago, he made his first step towards leaving when he announced the co-acts on his upcoming tour and Not one is a Young Money artist. Drake has one more album on his contract with YMCMB once that album drops, Drizzy is done! No comment from Drake or his camp.
Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs passed away just a few days ago after a long battle with cancer. There is a good chance that even if you didn't know who Jobs was, that you owned at least one of his products. Steve Jobs didn't just invent genius Apple products, he helped reshape the music industry. Even in death, he'll be a major player in the hip-hop and R&B world. Artists have referenced Jobs and his impact on their tracks.
