NahRight WENT IN saying:
Jae Millz just dropped a mixtape with DJ Ill Will and DJ Rockstar the very same way Bow Wow did yesterday via a random hip hop site. If you didn’t know Bow Wow had dropped a mixtape, that’s fine, I didn’t have a fucking clue either. But it was brought to my attention that Bow Wow was claiming to have gotten 1.1 million downloads of his mixtape in a ridiculously short time frame. Take it from someone who has to watch download numbers rise, or stagnate, that he is lying, and that this kind of fuckery has got to stop. It’s dishonest and who are you lying to besides your fans.
Bow Wow may have 200K followers on Twitter, but unless he’s someone who has an outlet like Soulja Boy does, he still needs websites to post his mixtape, and there is no website that posted it who can cover the 900K downloads that came from thin air (and plus that’s if ALL of his followers downloaded it too.) Even if there were, an artist of Bow Wow’s caliber wouldn’t be getting all that many clicks. One of two things happened here: either the website that’s hosting these two mixtapes told the rappers to send all Twitter traffic their way and that they’ll handle the download numbers, or somebody got paid to sit in front of their computer and botch the download numbers. The 50 Cent sponsored RapInsiderTV (watch part 2 here) basically broke down how crooked websites (like WSFF) get all those bogus views on their videos/anything with a counter.
Another way I know they’re lying is that the Jae Millz mixtape got 200K downloads. Even if he does have 50K followers on Twitter, it’s impossible that every single one of them even knows who he is or what was going on with the release of the mixtape. The Young Money website isn’t even up yet and Lil Wayne deleted his Twitter account, who could possibly be forcing someone to listen to a Jae Millz mixtape? People aren’t rushing to download mixtapes, especially from talentless rappers, but that’s why they have to resort to these kind of tricks.
Also, you expect people to believe you did 1.1 million downloads in a day, but if we were to look at the download number today… it’s still at 1.1 and some change. Someone dropped the ball there.

Pretty interesting, though I remember when Behind The Music used to be about the background story of the artist, their rough journey, their downfall and where they are now… But you know how things go when Weezy is in the mix… Ahh I’m kidding, seems they changed up the formula.

TheFADER just put up their ultra long cover story on Drake:
On September 7, 2008, Lil Wayne stepped onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards and then stepped decisively away from the words on the lyric sheet circulating in the audience with the following lines…
I’m on my Disney thang, goofy flow/ I’m Captain Hook on the beat and my new car is Rufio/ Damn where my roof just go/ I’m somebody that you should know/ Get to shakin’ somethin’ cause that’s what [deleted] produced it fo’/ I make mistakes that I don’t ever make excuses fo’/ Leavin’ girls that love me and constantly seducing hoes/ I’m losing my mind like, Damn where my roof just go/ Top slipped off like Janet at the Super Bowl
Then, as Leona Lewis launched into the hook of Nina Simone’s “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” he croaked, “Drizzy Drake: I love you, bwoy!” That namecheck was the only clue to most attendees that Wayne had just blatantly violated the unwritten rules of his own freestyle game by spitting another artist’s words. Though almost lost in host Russell Brand’s commentary on promise rings and presidential politics, it was a coronation moment rarely seen in the arena of rap, and with one verse, Wayne introduced the name of his protégé to the mainstream in dramatic fashion. Amongst those already familiar with the various Wayne-affiliated rookies collectively known as Young Money, the lines sparked a fierce debate over whether Drake was in fact ghostwriting for the master (he and Wayne both still claim he never has), but by the time the rap blog drama blew over, one thing seemed clear: Drake was the next big thing, heir apparent to Wayne’s multi-platinum throne and Young Money’s most likely flagship artist.

Another recycled Drizzy song owned by another rapper for their album or compilation to generate sales. The first time was yesterday when DJ Enuff played Drake’s “The Winner,” produced by Tha Bizness, and said it was on DJ Kay Slay’s More Than A DJ album. I heard this track a loooooong time ago and it seems like a “trophy” song to me, something I would be proud of making and owning… well now its been Cash Money stamped and tainted.

Beyond...Fun fact: Drake’s verse is the same that Lil Wayne was spitting at the VMAs last year [watch here at the 0:35 mark.] I’ll let you tell it… “we gon be okay if we put Drake on every hook!”
Oh fuck… you again…
So according to Omarion’s Tweets, he wasn’t dropped from Young Money, Cash Money but asked for the release. First of all, don’t see how that’s a good business move, and could it be because he doesn’t want to see Bow Wow’s annoying face on his team again?… We all seen the results of that shit last time.
What do you think?
Who didn’t see this coming? Oh ok… now go jump off a bridge.
R & B singer Omarion has been dropped from the roster of Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment, which is currently the home to Drake and Bow Wow, according to SOHH. “May God be with him and his future endeavors,” read Young Money president Mack Maine’s official statement, which oddly echoed the “pray for Omarion” press release that somebody released when the singer happened to be in London at the same time as some terrorist attacks in 2005. (Coincidence? Hmm.) The rumor is that the former B2K member got the boot for leaking a collaboration between him and Lil Wayne. Could the song in question be “I Get It In,” which mysteriously surfaced online earlier this week?
He gets it in… but gets kicked out after… BAHAHAHA!!

Here’s Bow Wow trying to be deep, let me not go in too much. But he’s on Cash Money now, hope that doesn’t go to his head. You’ve seen the way he’s been acting lately and he just said it himself in the song… be careful man, growing up in the spotlight has its ups and MANY downs.

Bow Wow (who I thought retired after a major loss from his last album) is signed to Ca$h Money. Good luck trying to overshadow Drake, Nicki Minaj and Weezy. Maybe he’ll be the next threat in the game like them, who knows… dah well!!
