New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne has yet another award to add to his already-extensive list of accolades. The “reborn rocker” and writers of his hit single “Lollipop” have won the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) award for Top Rap Song Of 2008.

“Lollipop”, co-written by Darius “Deezle” Harrison and the late Stephen “Static Major” Garrett, was named Top Rap Song, and also claimed an award in the R&B/Hip-Hop category.

The mammoth single, performed by Lil Wayne and featuring “Static Major,” topped both the Top Rap Tracks and R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts, and earned “Deezle” and “Static Major” a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.

Mikkel Eriksen & Tor Hermansen and C. “Tricky” Stewart & The-Dream won the Songwriter Of The Year award for while Alicia Keys took home the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Song award for ” Like You’ll Never See Me Again,” co-written with Kerry “Krucial” Brothers.

Shout outs to DefSounds

I just had to post this

PS: The video is about 3 mins 53 secs long, but the phone call actually finishes at around 1 min 55 seconds

Young Money associate Nicki Minaj recently spoke on her relationship with Drake and how much of an impact Lil Wayne has had on her career.

While still not revealing which label she plans on signing with, Nicki focused on discussing her association with hip-hop’s two current rap stars.

“Wayne has always been my biggest influence,” she explained in an interview. “It’s weird because I sit down and talk to Wayne like he’s just a regular human being, and then I walk on stage with him and there’s 20,000 people screaming for him. I think it puts it into perspective for me like, Wait a minute, this is actually attainable…I’m just excited for Drake. I’m rooting for him. It’s so funny because I feel like out of all of Young Money, me and Drake are real, real close. I remember when this was just a dream of ours. We would literally sit down and talk and pour our hearts out to each other. To see this happening, it just makes me feel like a proud sister almost when it comes to him. Since we’ve met each other, we’ve been each other’s biggest fan. It’s like seeing your brother shine; it’s like the best feeling in the world.”

Drake also discussed Weezy‘s impact on his career earlier this year.

“Wayne is another one that…rap-wise, verse-wise…was my favorite,” Drake said in an interview. “And to be under his wing, to be able to interact with him on a daily basis and talk to him and get information from him, I’m in a blessed position. I have the greatest mentors, the greatest teachers in the world. They all have gradually started to embrace me more and more, so it’s a great feeling.”

Shout outs to SOHH and I don’t know if y’all have heard, but Glasses Malone recently said this on his Twitter: “Shout out to Drake…. the Newest Cash Money Records member….”

I still do not know if it is 100% true, but I do think that it is a good move for Drake and maybe Nicki Minaj will follow in his footsteps

Remember this clip I posted the other week of Tiny‘s (T.I.’s baby momma) and Toya‘s (Weezy’s baby momma) new reality show? Well, below you can watch the full first episode. You can see Lil Wayne’s daughter, Reginae and momma, Ms. Cita in the video below too.

I just got to point out that how much does Reginae look like Weezy and Toya haha… she looks really cute though

Now a question to y’all – Do you want me to post episode 2 when it airs or not

Enjoy

Above, you can watch the video of Young Money performing live at the BET Awards 2009. I watched the whole show and it was really good, but all I am going to say about YM‘s performance is that it wasn’t their best.

Drake starts off by performing “Best I Ever Had“, then introduces Lil Wayne who performs “Every Girl” with Gudda Gudda and Mack Maine. Birdman then comes out and does his verse of “Always Strapped“. Shanell, Lil Twist and Lil Wayne’s daughter, Reginae were on stage with them too and all I have to say to BET is – Why censor so much of Weezy’s part?

Anyway’s, I’ll let you decide on what you think of the performance by leaving a comment below and I will be posting some pictures later
