“I’ve seen how artists make sure they look and act different when the cameras are around. But The Entourage DVD is all about my friends being themselves—these people just happen to be huge rap stars.” Scoob says about his recent DVD release.

“I think a lot of people may think Wayne is not a strategic person and that he’s just drunk and high all day. That’s not true at all—he’s working harder than everyone around him.” Scoob tells VIBE regarding Lil Wayne’s work ethic. “Weezy will only sit down for 20 minutes out of 15-hour studio session. He just doesn’t stop.”

“I got videos for the Carter IV and the I’m not a Human Being EP all ready. I can’t say the name of the song but Wayne was singing on the hook, but they’re getting Drake to re-do it and it’s off the Human Being EP,” Scoob says. “Carter IV is probably the best album I’ve heard in the last decade, but Wayne is such a different artist now that wants to record new music when he comes home. The stuff he’s talking about now is just on another level. That’s why a lot of the songs on the EP were originally taken from the Carter IV.” – VIBE

Last week, we posted that Lil Wayne’s new single ,”Right Above It“, featuring Drake reached #1 on iTunes. This week, we’re glad to say that “Right Above It” has debuted at #6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, not to mention it is #1 on Billboard’s Digital Songs chart. This adds to the list of Weezy songs to reach the top 10, and from the looks of it this song will reach #1 in no time. After the jump you can view a video of T.I. saying that Tunechi is the only person, other than him, that could claim the title of “King of the South“. Be sure to leave your thoughts on Wayne’s achievement and the video in the comments box.

“It doesn’t bother me at all,” Tip said about his fellow Southern contenders. “Another point I often make is the success of another person, the rise or fall of another individual has no bearing on my title. No matter how much a person does from this day forward, it doesn’t take away from the things I’ve done to this day. I’m gonna have to stop for a long time to let you start for a long time in order for you to catch up, no matter how much you do, and not taking away from anybody, not saying nothing bad about nobody — you gonna have to do what you’re doing right now times two, times three, seven times over in order to be where I am right now…As far as from a standpoint of success, the only person who is in a position to make a claim like that sort would be Lil Wayne, as far as success, from a numbers standpoint. As far as longevity and success, that’s the only person I feel like can say that.”

You can watch the official trailer for DJ Scoob Doo’s “Entourage” DVD above which features Lil Wayne, Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Gucci Mane, Jadakiss and plenty more rappers. I have no idea when this DVD is dropping along with the “Nino Brown Story Part 3“, but we should be getting them this month or next. In the trailer, you can see Weezy showing off how many ringtones he has sold and a little bit of footage from the “WTF” video shoot with Shawty Lo.

Hit the jump to watch Bow Wow sit down with Houston’s 97.9 The Box Madd Hatta Morning Show while promoting his new movie, Lottery Ticket. They talk about Cash Money and the advice he received from Tunechi when he visited him at Rikers Island.

“It was a humbling experience and one thing he told me when I went to visit him was ‘Bow, This ain’t for us, this ain’t it… This ain’t built for cats like us. They don’t understand us we don’t understand them… don’t do it man, just stay out of trouble, you and Drizzy y’all stay clean, y’all stay doing what y’all do, y’all can do this forever. All of this, it ain’t worth it. I knew he meant it, cause Tune never lectures me like that but he was serious.’ His spirits are high. When he gets out we definitely planning on this Young Money Cash Money Tour, myself, Nicki, Drizzy, Wayne and the whole entire family.”

Spotted at RR

You have all probably heard this Lil Wayne verse on a few songs before in the past because there have been plenty of blends and unofficial fake songs using it, but we now have the official version. The record is called “Girl Like Her” by RL (of Next) and features Weezy F Baby. This version is also CDQ and has no tags on!

Hit the jump for Birdman’s interview with XXL where he speaks on Lil Wayne, Cash Money and Tha Carter IV:

It seems like you never stop working or putting out music. What’s in the works for Cash Money?

Shit, we workin’. We got Tyga’s album. We workin’ on Bow Wow’s album, Brisco’s album, Nicki’s album, Wayne’s album, my album, Jay Sean’s album… A few movies in the works. Just grindin’, bruh. I love the challenge of doin’ music. We wanna be the best that ever did it and do the most. We got the opportunity and I promise you we’re gonna go hard as fuck like we ain’t got a dollar.

When you think about it, it’s kinda crazy how Cash Money outlasted all the other labels that y’all came into the game with. Labels like, Ruff Ryders, No Limit and Roc-A-Fella.

I look at that shit as we went through war and we sustained the weather and we stood in the fog. Even when muthafuckas counted us out, we stood up and we manned up. We did everything we had to, to get where we’re at today. I think God gives it to ya when he feels you’re ready for it. It took us a long time; we had to go through a lot of changes. A lot of obstacles, losses, gains. I just think right now we’re so great at this shit. We got so many young niggas who look at me and Wayne and what we’ve accomplished. You see the hunger that Drake and all the rest of those little niggas have because they’re reaching for those stories. We work like niggas who never made a dollar and I think that’s impressive to them. That makes them go harder. Those little niggas got promising futures.

As successful as the label has been in Wayne’s absence, you gotta be very optimistic for when he comes home.

Can you image when Wayne comes out? He been gone, he ain’t get to see this shit, he only been hearing it. When Wayne comes home he lifts everybody’s spirits, he lifts everybody’s value, he lifts the brand, he lifts everything. Wayne is gonna be the biggest artist in music, not just in hip-hop; in music. It’s some Michael Jackson shit right here goin’ on right before our eyes.

That’s a wild comparison. What can we expect from Tha Carter IV? You know that’s the one everybody is waiting on.

He’s a beast; he went back to that raw rappin’. That nigga still be impressin’ me with his music. I say that to say that I be around him a lot so the shit he do and say shouldn’t be as impressive to me. I’m one of his biggest fans, I be geeked out on him. I watch him work, he’s just cold. It’s some magical shit to watch the young blood do what he do.

As much as you play the head coach, you have had some big records this past year, like “Money To Blow” and “Always Strapped.”

Yeah, I’ma be in the building, bruh. I’m a chess player; I’m a check mater. I think it out nowadays. Wayne and ‘em are real rappers. All them little niggas can rap their ass off. I don’t try to do that. I just do me. At this point in my life with this shit, I just wanna have as much fun as possible. When my son come home, for me, I’m the happiest man that can ever be alive. I enjoy watching him and just getting in where I fit in. I ain’t trippin’ off this shit, but I’m trippin’ off this shit. Ya feel me?

As we previously reported, the mastered version of “Spit In Your Face” will be on Kevin’s To The Sky album dropping on June 15th. So this is now a Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne track even though Wayne still has 3 verses. In fact, the only difference with the mastered version is that they have added autotune to the record, which some of you may prefer or hate. Anyways, you can stream/download the song below and read what Kevin says about how Tune is doing in jail after the jump.

US Mag: How did working with Lil Wayne in particular so closely inform your rock sound?

KR: I’m not a straight rock artist, pop artist, or hip-hop artist. I’m really a fusion of all those things. So to me, the collaboration is just natural. It’s friends collaborating with friends really. I think people who like hip-hop and are fans of Wayne are going to listen to certain records that they’re on, so it broadens my audience and maybe my fans will be more interested in what they’re doing and we all kind of share fans.

US Mag: Have you talked to him since he has been in prison?

KR: I haven’t, but I have talked to people who have talked to him every day and they say he’s doing really well and feeling good, he’s adjusted. I’m sure he’ll come out stronger than ever.

Shouts to US Magazine

Above is a segment from an interview that MTV2’s Sucker Free held with Drake. In the segment Drizzy speaks about visiting Weezy in Rikers Island and planning a collaboration album when Wayne is released from jail later this year. Weezy has already planned several collaboration albums that have not been released like I Can’t Feel My Face with Juelz Santana and the T-Wayne album He Raps, He Sings. This collaboration would be amazing, but do you think it will really happen You can read more about this interview below and let us know what you think of this possible album in the comments.

“I went up to Rikers, and me and Wayne agreed that there will be a Lil Wayne/Drake album,” Drake told DJ Envy on MTV2’s “Sucker Free.” “There’s some things I’m excited for in my life — I’m excited to go perform certain places — but this project will probably be one of the most exciting things in my life, because we make music on a different level. It’s just so fun, so comfortable. A whole album? To think about all the things we can do, especially if we’re gonna do 15 songs. Me and him don’t like to do 12, 13 songs. We want to do 15, 16. Yeah, Lil Wayne and Drake album.”

“I flaked on the video,” Game said of the track, which features Lil Wayne and Birdman. “Bird was like, ‘Listen, daddy, you can come down here. Junior is gonna turn himself in next Wednesday. You can come down here. We can shoot the video before Junior go in. You just have that in the safe.’ I blew it. I didn’t make it down. Once he went to jail, I was like, ‘I can’t use this.’ I didn’t want to save it, so I gave it away. That was like, ‘Single!’ ”

So what was so important that he couldn’t make it to Miami for his own video? He was finishing up tracks with the most successful hip-hop producer in the world.

“I think I was in with Dr. Dre. I couldn’t move,” he thought back. “I think we was finishing up his records. When Dre is mixing, you don’t leave. You gotta stay posted. But I couldn’t move. So I gave it away. Fans appreciate it, though.” – MTV

What do you think about this Would you of liked to see a video for “Everything Red” Do you think Game was right to miss the video shoot to be in the studio with Dre

In other news, Drake revealed a special version of his “Light Up” track with Jay-Z and Weezy to Rap-Up yesterday: “Drake reveals a special version of his Jay-Z-assisted track “Light Up” on which Lil Wayne spits a hard verse “live from Rikers” over a non-mixed, raw-sounding beat.” I can’t wait to hear this… if we ever will!

And in more news, Eminem spoke to Skyrock Radio in Paris over the weekend and mentioned Tunechi: “I’ve always respected what Wayne does, and Lil Wayne, to me, is definitely one of the greatest in the game right now”. I think we can all agree with what Shady said.
