Royce Da 5′9″ tears a new one in Drake’s Over track! Though there has been some speculation on whether he took a couple shots at Drake in the track. Listen for yourself and be the judge, either way, his freestyle is DIRTY!
Royce Da 5′9″ – Over Freestyle

First single off Drizzy’s debut album Thank Me Later.
The album is slated to drop in May, towards the end of his month-long Away From Home tour.
A video was shot last weekend in Miami for his Lil Wayne collaboration on the album, no doubt in my mind that it’s a banger.

This is funny as shit, and pure genius. Aziz Ansari releases a track getting at a few rappers demanding they send their verses back for his mixtape. Including Kid Cudi, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Drake, RZA & GZA, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Clipse, MF DOOM, Mos Def, and Kanye. Sounds like he’s dissing, but he’s just doing what he does best, creating the funny.

Here’s the extended minute-long version of the commercial in good quality. Info on Sprite’s “Spark” campaign is available at Billboard. The commercial will show during NBA’s All-Star Weekend and Drake will be joining Lebron James to judge Sprite’s Slam Dunk Showdown. (yea it’s real, not just in NBA2k)

Was too lazy to put up the behind the scenes, well… the results is what counts, right?
Spot it playing on TV as I post this and maybe in the movie theatre.

I was watching this last night, and at first it wasn’t entertaining, quite corny in fact. Got a little amusing down the line when Wayne started kidding around, enjoying his lasts moments live. Then it just gets a little deeper as more and more people pass by (Fat Joe walks in 42min mark) or call (Drake calls in 46min mark) to say there farewells. Weezy tells the fans how much he loves them (at least 3 times) then the big moment came. Lil Twist walks out with the laptop to the lot so we can watch Lil Wayne take off. Dramatic moment at the end when Twist just sits the laptop down and all you hear is silence…
From all the comments I’ve read, he’ll be missed A LOT!!
Beyond...Drizzy’s first headliner since he crashed into the stage (and into more fame). It all went down at VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University.) Chris Brown joined him on stage and a zillion females lost their voices that night due to excessive screaming. Check beyond to see more footage including Tyga coming out to perform, as well as The Calm, Fear, Invented Sex, Best I Ever Had & Forever.

Watch the outburst intro from director Quentin Tarantino as he presents Drake, Lil Wayne, Eminem and Travis Barker to the stage to perform “Drop The World” and “Forever”.
Big moment for a new superstar, wasn’t an overdone performance, it was all good from beginning to end.

Where are you Yeezy???
From the looks of things, seems like they’ll be performing the Travis Barker remix to Forever live from The 52nd Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

For their Feb/March issue, Drake got in dept with Damien Scott, discussing a handful of issues. The backlash the video for “Best I Ever Had” got, his delay because of his knee injury. Talks KiD CuDi and how he may have felt with Kanye directing Drake’s video while CuDi should have been the main focuss, since he was coming out. Also addresses the competition between all the young/new rappers, as well as his old friend Nickelus F.
Around the time that Kanye directed “Best I Ever Had,” it seemed like there was strife between your camp and Cudi’s camp because Kanye was so enamored of you while Cudi’s project was being worked on.
Drake: I wasn’t aware of that. Even so, I could understand. If Wayne were to be enamored—which is a great word—of another young artist, I would be like, “Damn, I’m here too!” But at the same time, it happens in more than one situation. It happens with ‘Ye, and I have a great relationship with Jay, and Jay’s got Wale and J. Cole, who’s one of my favorite dudes rapping right now. I’ve happened to have had more success. I made the most money, I have number-one records, those guys don’t have that shit. And it’s just facts, it’s not even my feelings or that I feel I’m more talented. That’s what the game is about, making great music that earns profit. When it comes to my relationship with the new dudes, I’m just excited for them. I get to sit back in a cool position and be like, “Yo, I’m excited to see you do it now because I know what it’s like, it’s gonna be so much fun for you…”
You feel like you’re at the finish line?
Drake: I’m at the starting line. Those guys are at home, putting on their tracksuits, getting ready to make their attack. When J. Cole gets it super-right, I think he’s gonna have a place as a Nas-type character who really stands for hip-hop, but still makes ill records that everybody fucks with.
If J. Cole is Nas, then who are you?
Drake: [Laughs.] I’m the young big homie!
