His BS
I have a lot of respect and admiration for the genius of Lil Wayne and the entire Young Money family," he said. "I asked to be released from the label to pursue other opportunities that were recently presented to me. Because of our relationship, Lil Wayne had no issue with us ending our business relationship and released me from the label. Lil Wayne and I have nothing but love for each other, there is no beef. I also wanted to make it clear that my company nor did I, leak the song, 'I Get It In,' and I want to dispel any rumors that have surfaced. I appreciate my relationship with Young Money/ Cash Money and look forward to doing business in the future.
"There will be a major announcement regarding my career and my new album, Ollusion, coming next week," the statement promises.
Young Money member Mack Maine broke the news of Omarion's departure on his Twitter page Wednesday night, writing, "ATTN: Omarion is no longer Young Money ... the song they leaked featuring Wayne is not official ... Good luck to him in his future endeavors."
Stooopid
Hello world! Today mythoughts are powered by the stupidity of a certain individual,we just gon call him "O". Now, if you were to be in a bot group, be famous,fall off,be by yourself, i.e.:ICEBOX:fall off, and then get signed to the hottest record label in the world right now. why would you leak the first song or second, or third, or whatever, of the PRESIDENT of the company?????? Why would you do that you FUCKING IDIOT????!!! Now, you look stupid...talking bout, "I asked to be released from my contract."
Me being a a President of the company fan, I know for a fact he does not care for leakage of his material, i.e.:The Carter 3: Thanks EVIL EMPIRE! So, with that said, if you get a new deal,that revamps yiour career, just sit back and relax.
Bye World.

Unlearn
'You'll spend half of your time defending yourself and the other half trying to stay sane resulting in you being forced to find time to be creative'
I often wonder in a time where new artists exist in a impersonal cyber world of instantaneous information, if we will ever have another rap legend that can manage to maintain the image that our idols had prior to this method of promotion. I am not suggesting that this person should be me, I am just urging a generation to understand that in order to have anyone of any significance in our lives that we can look up to there will be things that we must look past. There are people that buy sell and trade evil on a daily basis...when u believe in their brand is when they win.
'Even photoshop couldn't change me'
- Me
I also want people to know that I am only releasing this EP so that everyone involved in the project can hold a physical copy of the CD in their hands and see it in the store. And for anybody else who feels that So Far Gone marked a moment in time I just wanted to give you the option to have the disc. If you got it for free and want to keep it that way than by all means I urge you to. That was a gift from me to you...Thank Me Later.

It's Hovi Baby
JayZ, the "King of RocNatioon", is finally coming out with the long anticipated Blueprint 3 September 11, 2009. Isnt that ironic New York. Its about time, there have been shots at the top for that throne. American Gangster was hard, but it wasn't enough for the people i.e to be continued... at the end of the RocBoys video. Why? So we can starve for him. Hes pretty smart. DOA is definitely the battle cry,like a Apache, for all rappers or whatever some them call themselves. Hova is on the prowl and he is not taking any prisoners. No Jamie you dont get a pass and T-Pain your time is coming up short. MIXTAPE Weezy get it together. Everyone will find out WHO runs this town.

Looking dapper as he took the stage at the upscale Joe's Pub in New York, Trey Songz wanted to make it clear that he was ready to shed the baggy jeans of his youth and embrace a more adult style.
The 24-year-old Virginia native, born Treymaine Neverson, is also showing his growth on his third studio album, the aptly titled "Ready." The project is slated for a Sept. 1 release on Song Book/Atlantic Records.
"This album is very adult, very easygoing and very sexy," he says. "It feels cohesive and reflects the changes you see in me physically, with my new haircut, and everything else that represents me evolving into manhood."
Songz worked with producers Stargate, Johnta Austin, Troy Taylor, Carlos "Los DaMystro" McKinney, Eric Hudson and Bryan-Michael Cox on the album. The featured guests include Drake, Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy Tell'Em.
Collectively, they came up with a slew of tracks that not only reveal Songz' maturity but also cater to his female and male fan bases. The single "Brand New" finds the singer trying to seduce a club-going woman, not-so-subtly crooning, "I wanna leave with you so we can get it on," over a thumping bassline and heavy guitar riffs. The first single, "I Need a Girl," finds Songz putting a request out for a female companion over piano and slinky guitar strings. It's No. 7 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Other songs on the album include "Neighbors Know My Name," which alludes to how loud his girlfriend yells his name during their love-making; "One Love," about not breaking a commitment between two people that love each other; "One Mile, One Heart, One Love," which Songz dubs "a classic love song"; "LoL (Smiley Face)," featuring Mane and Soulja Boy, is a fun track about "flirting through the digital world"; and "Successful," his collaboration with newcomer Drake that also appears on the latter's "So Far Gone" mixtape. "Successful" is No. 11 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
"My first album was very adult-like, but in a different, more soulful, sample-driven kind of way, and my second one was more contemporary and trendy," Songz says. "On this one, we're breaking down every song, every hook, every chorus, every bridge, and we're making sure every song is the best song it could be. This album isn't just going to be a compilation of songs, but a classic body of work."
To promote the album, Dionnee Harper, Songz' product manager, says the plan is to do an extensive online campaign. He recently launched a blog site titled SeeFurtherThanIAm.com, on which he streams live chats and behind-the-scenes videos. Through Twitter he releases a new track every Monday, including some off his latest mixtape, "Anticipation," which he gave away for free on his Web page. Then there's his official Web site, TreySongz.com, which includes news bits, tour dates, press photos, media and a bio.
Harper says the label will soon team with online sites for Songz site skins and banner ads, as well as have the artist interact with his fans through various social networkings. An online store is also in the works.
Offline, Songz embarked on a promo tour July 25, with stops in Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas and the Carolinas to attend radio events and listening sessions. He will also go on a House of Blues tour starting in September, a college tour in October and November, and, potentially, an arena tour.
Songz recently filmed an episode of the ABC show "Lincoln Heights" that will air Sept. 15, and he also appears in a movie titled "Preacher's Kid" alongside R&B singer LeToya Luckett, slated for release this year. Ad campaigns will run on MTV and BET.
This is just the beginning of Songz' evolution, but it all starts with this album. "There is lots of innovation on this project," he says. "This album is very self-defining and very definitive of the type of artist I'm going to be for the rest of my career."
Successful????
SONGZ!!!!
reezy. Kellz watch out, im from chicago and grew up on Kellz, but that set back made him lose a lot of “swag”. Trey Songz is the most under rarted in the game rite now. Media has just started put him on. He needs to leave Atlantic and join RocNation, Def Jam, or Young Money , with his homeboy. Look around find his mixtpes. If not you will be behind. Don’t try and jump on his team when he is on the rise or top teir. Like everyone is doing Drake rite now.
Aye world Gucci Mane is by far a piece work. I am going off of his maturation from so icey. First he comes out with a new mixtape damn near every week. Him and Oj. Killing all beats, he kills all collabs no matter who track it is. He works with all DJs. He’s perfect with Drama, but who isn’t, that’s another subject there. Dram Cruise! And when he gets on track with an elite rapper he holds his own. I look for that in everyone collab. I don’t need to talk about his street cred at all. So questioning his raps is out of question, sorry hatas. He’s also in full rotation on the radio waves and videos. Get into Gucci and not the loafers.
