3:35-4:00 I love the way 50 did with his dawgs. If you look at it, them dudes got more money and more bread than anybody in State Property. Cuz 50 made sure of that. 50 went on tour AND paid them. Not tell them it was a good look for them to be on the tour and things like that. True story, I’m sitting on house arrest and the Young Gunz call my phone cuz Jay-Z is only paying them $1200 a show. And they had to split it.
In light of the brutal murder of Derrion Albert, we asked Michael Eric Dyson to give some words of encouragement to the misguided young black men of today.
6th dropped a tape through Bandcamp the other day.
After supplying a ton of music for free for the last couple of years, here’s a mixtape of mostly unheard material. To show your support it’s only $5.
Volume 1 contains songs that mainly feature 6th Sense on the mic as well as behind the boards. The overall feel is a more stripped down sound, with a focus on dense, multi-layered lyrics, with hardly any hooks or choruses.
More volumes are on the way and coming soon with different formats (more for free too). There’s a whole lot more music that hasn’t been heard yet.
Shawn Chrys went up to Mick Boogie & Terry Urban’s The Press Play Show on Shade45 this past Saturday.
Recording artist Shawn Chrystopher stops by Mick Boogie and Terry Urban’s The Press Play Show on Shade 45 to talk about everything from his upbringing, his influences, and his LRG Campaign.
It comes as no surprise that this mixtape was leaked early. With Wayne’s impending incarceration, I’m curious to see how the time leading up to day one will be spent. I’m sure the Cash Money/Young Money camp are brainstorming up all sorts of ideas on how to maximize the Lil’ Wayne brand for this rumored eight month stretch. Its safe to say that Wayne has more than enough music to last the bid, the question is how and when it will be released. Will The Carter 3 be released before he goes in, or during? For some reason, I can’t imagine them waiting til his release day to drop the project. One thing I do know, and this applies to T.I. & Lil’ Wayne, is that their notoriety will increase, their releases from prison will be highly publicized, and their experiences will definitely result in some interesting material. With that said, here’s the first of the last projects we’ll have from Lil’ Wayne before the county comes a’knockin’. Enjoy.

In the past year, Michael Jackson has earned $90 million. $72 million, or 80% of the $90 million made in the past year, was made after his passing. How much money did you make this past year? Better yet, how much money did I make this past year? Exactly. Here’s an excerpt from the Billboard.com article:
Jackson earned less than the $350 million that fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent scored in the past year, and the $235 million earned by the songwriting duo Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.
Forbes counted money earned from October 2008-October 2009, even for Jackson, who died June 25. But about $72 million — or 80% of the $90 million earned in the past 12 months — came after Jackson’s death, said a spokesperson for GreenLight, a consultancy company that represents “delebs,” their term for dead celebrities still earning money.
On Wednesday, Jackson — along with AEG Entertainment and Sony — began raking in money for next year’s list as the concert-rehearsal documentary “This Is It” opened in 3,500 domestic theaters and around the world.
