  • Lil Wayne’s ‘The Carter IV’ Album In Stores

    Lil Wayne’s ninth studio album has been released worldwide toady. It’s the first big project since The Carter III, which was released back in 2008. So we can say it’s been quite some time since Weezy has dropped something truly original. Let’s see if he goes Platinum in the first week or not.

    After the worldwide success of The Carter III, Weezy started working on his group Young Money with fellow artists: Drake, Nicki Minaj and others. They released an album We Are Young Money in 2009, which featured singles such as ‘BedRock’, ‘Every Girl’ and ‘Roger That’. It sold 500,000 copies and was certified Gold by the RIAA. Then he started working on a Rock/Rap album named Rebirth which he released in 2010. He was working on the Rock/Rap project since 2008 and it was going to be something different from his usual-self. Eminem was also featured on the album on the song ‘Drop The World’, which was praised by many critics and peaked at No. 18 on Billboard Hot 100 charts. After that he released another album in 2010 called I Am Not a Human Being, which was first thought to be an EP but was later confirmed as an LP and was released on Weezy’s Birthday. It sold over 900,000 copies, and also featured the song ‘Right Above It’ which peaked at No.6 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

    And now, he’s finally released the next edition to the Carter series. The Carter IV started off with ’6 Foot 7 Foot ft. Cory Gunz’, and after a few weeks he released ‘John ft. Rick Ross’ which was a big hit. ‘How To Love’ was also loved by many people but the real talk these days is ‘She Will ft. Drake’ which is the dopest single from the album yet. An album which features T-Pain, Rick Ross, John Legend, Drake and Bruno Mars on an exclusive track, is worth listening to and is definitely one to get your hands on.

  • Ice T Disses Ross and Wayne

    Ice T, in a recent interview with Vh1, took shots at Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Talking about the gangster life and rapping about it, he said a few things about Rick.

    He said,

    “Rick Ross stole a n*gga’s name. I call him ‘Identity Crisis.’ He thinks he’s [Freeway] Rick Ross, he thinks he’s Larry Hoover, he thinks he’s Big Meech, he thinks he’s MC Hammer, he thinks he’s Tupac. Like, who the f*ck are you really, dude?” adding that, ““When we rapped about dope— me, Snoop and everybody—it was like we doin’ it because we GOT to. Now these n*gga’s is actin’ like it’s somethin’ that’s FUN. It’s so easy to fantasize about it. To actively do it? That’s a whole ‘nother f*ckin’ thing.”

    Then he talks about the youth these days,

    “You can tell kids these days any motherf*ckin’ thing and they’ll believe it. There’s not a code of accountability in hip hop. When I came out, if you said it, you HAD to be about it. n*ggas would check you really quickly.”

    Then he talked about Pop music and Hip-Hop turning into Pop, talking about Weezy,

    “When you hear Lil Wayne sayin’ ‘I got a chopper in the car,’ you go, ‘Yeah, right you do.” As Ice-T calls it it’s, “no longer rap. It’s pop music, pop using rap delivery”.

    I totally agree with what he said about Hip-Hop these days. It’s all about Money, Hoes, Swag and all that. The true Hip-Hop is fading away is not getting the airplay it deserves. Let us know what you think of his statements regarding Hip-Hop artists today in the comments section below.
