The Subtextual Truth

I have so many followers on Tumblr! Join me on Twitter:) http://www.twitter.com/feisty058. 

Mobb Deep recently revealed the title of their upcoming EP Black Cocaine, but yesterday MTV revealed the cover of compilation dropping on Black Friday.

Wale’s Ambition is on the way (thank goodness!) and he gives us a track featuring Miguel to keep us waiting.  Take a listen to “Lotus Flower Bomb”.

Lil Wayne is covering the October/November issue of Vibe with an interesting royal outfit. Below is an excerpt from his cover story.

VIBE: You say competition is for the “old guys,” but it sounds like you’re going at Jay-Z with that line, “I got your baby money/Kidnap your bitch, get that how-much-you-love-your-lady money.” Are we looking at it the wrong way?  

LIL WAYNE: I know for a fact, music is about perception. You can’t do anything but perceive what you hear. If I know that for a fact, I can never be upset about someone’s reaction to it. I’m not gonna say I don’t know what will happen before I say it [on record]. I do know what will happen. I am aware of it. It is what it is. 

VIBE: You mentioned how humbled you were at the success of “She Will.” Drake, who wrote and performs the song’s chorus, has now become a platinum star in his own right. Do you look at the guy and say, “Wow, I helped create a monster, I have to stay on my toes”? 

LIL WAYNE: I don’t look at it like that. Drake is my artist. If he wasn’t my artist, then yeah maybe. But that’s my artist. He’s not [just] a friend. We’re more than friends. It’s business. It would be impossible for it to be a competition. I mean, I’m the guy’s boss. 

T.I’s lawyer, Steven Sadow, has confirmed that the rapper has finally been released from Dismas Charities halfway house in Atlanta, after finishing his 11 month sentence.  The rapper plans to celebrate during his Welcome Home party tomorrow and his $100,000 brunch on Sunday.  Welcome back- let’s stay out of trouble this time!

There have been several shots of Rihanna on the set of her new video “We Found Love” in Ireland with her embracing her nudity.  Should be interesting!

9th Wonder’s The Wonder Years is now in stores and available digitally.  Take a listen to “That’s Love” and be sure to support good music and buy yourself a copy of The Wonder Years!

Tyga joins forces with Drake on his new song “Still Got It”.  For right now, all we have is a radio rip of the song.

Mac Miller revealed the album cover and tracklist on Ustream last night for his debut album Blue Slide Park. Album drops November 8th.
