Nicki Minaj recently sat down with Tim Westwood and discussed her chemistry with Nas on set, an upcoming track with 2 Chainz, and her views on the beef between Chris Brown and Drake. Enjoy the interview and chime in afterwards.
“A fuck ni**a, that’s that shit I don’t like/ They throwin’ bottles, I’m throwin’ models just ’cause I give a bitch long pipe,” raps Breezy. “I be singin’, he be singin’, so it’s on, fight/ But hold up, I ain’t give a ni**a no green light/ This head up, my bread up, one on one, what you scared, bruh?/ Matter fact, take care bruh, you a pu**y ni**a/ My ni**a Tunechi, yeah that ni**a nice/ Shout out to Nicki, man, that ass tight/ Them eyebrows, man, them shits is yikes/ OVO, you overdosed, screamin’ YOLO no, I live twice.”
Well, if you thought the Chris Brown vs. Drake beef was over, I guess you were just as wrong as I was. Chris Brown has released his own spin on "I Don't Like". Commenting on throwing bottles, fucking models, Nicki's ass, Tunechi's "niceness," and Drake's eyebrows .. Chris Brown decided not to do the whole "subliminal lyrics" path, I suppose. I'm not really sure how I feel about this track yet.
It may just be time for Chris to .. grow up? Eh. Post your thoughts after listening to the track below.
If you thought you were tired of seeing 'Y.O.L.O. (You Only Live Once)' by now, you may just have to deal with it a little while longer.
While sitting down with MTV's RapFix lately to discuss MMG's current project, Rick Ross stated that a Y.O.L.O. project with YMCMB may still be a major possibility. Although he is highly focused on his album, "Self Made Volume 2," and Meek Mill's upcoming project in August, Ross says that he remains dedicated to his fans and may just give the current epidemic a chance. Enjoy the interview below.

As much as I love my boo Drake, he falls into the category of those people who claim to be over their ex's but can't possibly be because they always bring them up. Just a few weeks ago, for instance, Drake added his own fire in Twitter "indirecting" battle with his ex, Maliah Michele. (sigh) To no surprise, during a recent sit-down with BBC Radio One in London, he dropped a few lines hinting at a few guests of his past and also added his own Lil' Wayne impersonation into the mix.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Practice from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo.
On Drake's blog, October's Very Own, he provides an email address where fans can send their own "Practice" video. After posting this one to his blog late Thursday night, I take it that it was the first submission, plus, he did make an appearance at the end.
What do YOU think?
After being judged for his selective choice of "leggings" recently, Lil' Wayne definitely gives the people something to talk about with his choice of wardrobe in this video. Enjoy.
Drake ~ The Motto Featuring Lil Wayne & Tyga (Official Video) from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo.
During his interview with Google music, Drake discusses making quality music, his collaboration with Rihanna, having Lil' Wayne as a boss, and getting into the minds of females.
The video quality SUCKS, but it's always nice to catch a video behind the scenes.
Here's a "hidden" bonus track that will be on the November 15th release of "Take Care".
Enjoy.
It's no secret that Drake has now been labeled as the industry's "emotional" rapper. He raps about his lost loves, hopes to find new loves, and his infatuation with strippers, dancers, and girl's just "trying to get by". Some of the jokes, of course, are funny, but honestly, it's obvious that I am a Drake fan & I think it takes a lot to have a boss such as Lil' Wayne & change the whole pace of your label & rap around the things that most dudes sit home & think about, whether their pride allows them to admit it or not. Anyways, Drake recently sat down with 'GQ' magazine went into detail about things that he is commonly judged on from being in the public eye.
GQ: You announced the title of this album, Take Care, with us back in December. What does it mean?
Drake: No one has actually asked me that yet. I came up with the name when I was on a bus in Birmingham, England, going to a show. "Take Care" is this thing we use in passing conversation to dismiss bullshit like, "Oh, you couldn't make it on time? Oh, take care, take care." We've always used that and then I really took so much care making this album. I knew I was going to go home and take longer than six months, I knew that I was literally going to take care of making this project and be attentive, be clear, be immersed in it. "Take Care" worked.
GQ: You said that, "Just by buying your album, you know a lot of shit about me." So let's break down some lyrics. "Why is this so familiar? Just met/already feel like I know the real her."
Drake: I guess sometimes I feel like I'm laying next to the same woman over and over again. The things that they say, the place they are in their life, the concerns they have about me and my life. I feel like I deal with the same women repetitively. The ones I'm referring to in that song have all fucked the same rappers. So, yeah, that's why I say we just met but I think I've already met the real her, because I've already met you so many times, in different shapes and forms—it all feels familiar.
GQ: Who's the ideal girl for Drake?
Drake: Who's the ideal girl? She is very funny, very supportive, understands that right now I'm trying to build with somebody. The ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer... Or being seen! She's probably in New York to be honest with you. There are a lot of good women in New York.
GQ: On to something a little lighter. We're GQ, so we have to ask: What's up with the sweaters?
Drake: [laughs] Now, this I have been asked about several times.
GQ: Do you have a favorite?
Drake: Yes, I do. It's a toss-up between three sweaters. I'd say one would be obviously the OVO Owl Sweater. I can wear it repetitively and no one calls me out on it. I have a cashmere Hermes sweater that I love. Lastly, any of my Missoni sweaters. I don't give a fuck what anybody says about my Missoni sweaters! Fuck you, if you don't like my sweater! [Editor's note: A middle-aged couple sitting next to us sharply turn their heads.] It's funny because people only talk about me and sweaters because I don't give them anything else to talk about. I live in Canada, so any dirt I do you'll never see because we don't have the paparazzi up there! It's the stupidest thing, man, but I'll embrace it. Hopefully Missoni hollers at me and we get a sweater line popping!
GQ: People talk a lot of shit, anything you wish they'd stop saying?
Drake: That's tough. I wish that we lived in a time and a generation where people would stop viewing my honesty as overly emotional. People always act like I spend my life crying in a dark room. I don't, I'm good. I'm a man. I want to be remembered as an artist that gave you a piece of me, as opposed to some surface bullshit. I don't think people realize that we die, we leave here, and either they forget about you or remember you. And how they remember you is up to you. I just want to be remembered as a poet that was open and honest because I wake up every morning and I'm me.

Drake recently sat down with The Source and gave his insight on his thoughts behind the dangers of social media. I found his responses to be quite interesting, especially with the popularity of Tumblr & Facebook.
“I’m really scared for my generation, you know. The thing that scares me most is Tumblr. I hate what Tumblr has become. Because it like, it reminds me of those clique-y girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone else and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that shit doesn’t matter. No one gives a fuck about that shit. Instead of kids going out and making their own moments, they’re just taking these images and living vicariously through other people’s moments. It just kills me. Then you’ll meet them and they’re just the biggest turkey in the world. They don’t actually embody any of those things. They just emulate. It’s scary man, simulation life that we’re living. It scares me.”
Drake on Twitter:
“I’ll tell you, my biggest thing was, I remember, it was on twitter. I remember the day my mom was getting surgery and someone came on Twitter and they were like, ‘Yo, Drake, I hope your mom dies.’ You don’t really mean that.”
…Like, you know you’re going to see something bad. Out of 1000 compliments, it’s so crazy. It’s basically, like, when you used to sit there as a kid, and want to know what everyone is thinking. That’s your superpower. [Twitter is] knowing what everyone is thinking.”

I was browsing around online and supposedly this has leaked from "Take Care". I'm not 100% sure so I can't back that up just yet, but it is a good track, so, if it is a leak, then I'm getting more and more excited for the official album to drop.

Due to some "technical difficulties," Drake has decided to push his album release date back to November 15, 2011 instead of the originally planned October 24th.
"The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together. Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week...see you all soon.
Drake"
