Drake Says He'll 'Keep The Brand Strong' During Lil Wayne's Sentence Young Money MC says Weezy is staying positive despite impending jail time.


Drake says he's going to do what he's supposed to do: hold the fort down for Lil Wayne. Drizzy spoke to Globalhiphopevents.com about Wayne's impending jail sentence next year. Last week, Wayne pleaded guilty to gun charges stemming from a 2007 arrest. Weezy is expected to be sentenced to one year, though he could be out in eight months for good behavior.

"I'll just do what I can to keep the whole Young Money/ Cash Money team going," Drake told the Web site. "I just want to play my part as a team member and keep the brand strong until the boss gets home."

Although no one from the camp wants to see the acclaimed lyricist and charismatic performer leave for even one day, Drake says that Weezy has been keeping positive and making sure that fans will hear plenty of new music, even while he's in prison.

"He's kinda more concerned about getting as much music as he possibly can, so that when he's in there, people are still satisfied musically with Lil Wayne product," Drake explained. "That's just the mind of a true businessman."

Wayne's next body of work will be a freebie for the people: His No Ceilings mixtape comes out on Halloween. Meanwhile, he has yet to release his long-delayed LP Rebirth, which may drop on December 15, the same day as Young Money's album. Drake appears on the latter and also plans to release his debut album, Thank Me Later, early next year.

Lil Wayne Covers Billboard


Lil Wayne talks Rebirth to Billboard:

Given earlier leaks from the project, did you make many changes to the final version?
As of now Rebirth is coming out as a double disc with a [disc of songs] by Young Money. I had to add new cuts because a lot of things leaked, making people think they had an idea of what I was doing with Rebirth and what it would sound like. And I hated that because I never want anybody to think they know what I’m doing until I present it. So what I did was make it totally different I flipped it.

Does the album still lean toward rock?
Yes, the album is still rock. I play guitar on 80% of the songs and there’s a lot of rock influences and rock beats. I also have Travis Barker on the album. But I don’t want people to think I’m trying to do something I can’t do. Don’t think you’re going to put on the album and hear me screaming and singing . . . Don’t worry about that [laughs]. When people hear me say rock, they may get a little scared like, Oh, God. What is he going to do? When I said I was doing a rock album, it was about doing a freedom thing. This album isn’t hip-hop. When I do my Carter albums, I know I’ve got to rap, I know I’ve got to spit. I know the words I’ve got to say and the subjects I’ve got to talk about. I also know the things I shouldn’t say, the things I shouldn’t talk about. There’s none of those limits on this album. I say what I want, how I want. That’s what this album is: a freedom album. And rock is the avenue that gives you that freedom. I’m just having fun, that’s all. Trust me: People will like these songs. It’s my job to make them love them, but I know for a fact they’ll like them.

Buju Banton’s Anti-Gay Lyrics Result in Cancelled Shows


LGBT advocacy groups across the nation have been spearheading public campaigns pressuring promoters to cancel reggae artist Buju Banton’s concerts in the U..S. only to get the shows dropped by one promoter and picked up by another.

In August, Banton’s performance at the House of Blues in Dallas, Texas was canceled by its parent company, Live Nation when they dropped all of the reggae artist’s scheduled events at their venues for advocating the torture and murder of gay men in his lyrics.

Banton will be performing in Dallas after promoter Tony Gold booked the reggae artist at the Palm Beach Club on Oct. 20.

A similar course of events occurred in San Francisco.

Banton’s concert at San Francisco’s The Regency Ballroom was scheduled but was canceled back in August when AEG Live announced that they would cancel all of his performances.

The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center applauded the promoter’s decision and claimed victory for the LGBT community.

“I hope this victory sends a deafeningly loud message to other promoters and concert venues that singers who glorify violence against LGBT people, or any group of people, should never be welcomed,” said Chief Executive Officer Lorri L. Jean of the center.

However, protestors found out that Banton indeed be performed in San Francisco but at the Rockit Room, not The Regency Ballroom. He will also be performing at the Shuttuck Downlow in nearby Berkley, CA.

“It’s really unfortunate this venue booked him. I don’t think any place would host a performer who stood up and made equivalent statements against African-Americans, Asians or women,” Cece Cox, Associate Executive Director of RCD said. ”This shouldn’t be offensive to just GLBT people. This is someone using their profession to incite violence against people. “

Critics of Banton point to his 1988 song (rerecorded in 1992) “Boom Bye Bye,” where he advocating burning homosexuals “like an old tire wheel,” and shooting “batty boys” in the head with an Uzi.

In 2004 Banton was charged, along with a dozen others, for allegedly beating six men believed to be gay, after forcing entry into a house in Kingston, near Banton’s recording studio. Those charges were dismissed by the judge in the case in January 2006, for lack of evidence.

The Canadian-based Stop Murder Music campaign created the Reggae Compassionate Act in 2007 when Reggae music was under pressure to denounce anti-gay lyrics. Banton was allegedly among the artist that signed the document but he denies ever signing the document and continues to perform “Boom Bye Bye” at his concerts.

DIDDY TALKS ABOUT BEING A HOE!


P Diddy recently talked about his personal life and explained why his relationships with women have, in some cases, led to his inability to stay loyal and keep their trust. The rap mogul and Bad Boy head honcho says that his “fear” has pushed him to go out with other women during a time when he is already in a relationship with another woman. “A couple years ago, my psychologist came to the conclusion that this is one of the big problems I have as far as maturing in a relationship,” Diddy explained in an interview. “After my father got killed, my mother said, ‘I’m never getting married again. I don’t want men around my children.’ So I’ve never actually been able to witness a husband and wife’s love. Sometimes when I see it with my friends, I just find myself staring like a child, because I’ve never actually seen it before. It’s one of the sad parts of my life. When a relationship gets to a certain point, I probably get scared and become a little self-destructive. [If caught cheating,] cry. It might not work, but it at least shows that you care. Godd*mn, this is a deep interview. You didn’t ask Will Smith none of this sh*t! Yeah, it hurts me. One of my weaknesses is that I actually have a conscience.
