Lil Wayne Wants Out of Cash Money Records

Cash Money Or Cash Out



The above tweets shows a series of rants that rapper Lil Wayne, doesn't want to be a part of Cash Money Records any longer. Stating that the company has held is upcoming album Tha Carter V, while taking his creativity. This is shocking news as the rapper has been a part of the label since entering the music industry. Being that he's the CEO of Young Money which is a sub-label underneath Cash Money. This makes me wonder if he's only doing this for publicity. Only time will tell, because throughout all of the artist issues on the label Lil Wayne is the only artist to remain faithful to the company, passing on deals with Jay-Z, not branching off to his own direct label, and even being photographed kissing Birdman in the mouth. We will watch closely on this situation, because the outcome of this situation has the ability to alter the dynamics of the hip hop business. How so? Well, Drake has already separated himself from the label, Nicki Minaj adores Lil Wayne, meaning that once Lil Wayne leaves that there’s a strong possibility that Nicki will also. Drake, Wayne, and Nicki are the lead artist in Cash Money, and are the only artist with definite longevity inside of the music industry. If they leave I cannot see Cash Money lasting through the new music wave. With their downfall, this will open up the possibility for a new major label to come in affect.

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow.

Single Life, Relationship, or Situationship ? #30DayBlogChallenge

Day 11 Well my current relationship status is single. At the age of 22, being single have its ups and downs of course. I've developed a lot of mixed emotions about the single life. In 2014 I broke up with my ex boy friend of two years and I've been back "on the market" since. I enjoy having the freedom of not really answering to anyone about who, what, when, where I'm doing whatever it is I'm doing, but the single life does get lonely sometimes. Since my break up there's one guy that truly caught my interest and our situationship has been a complete roller coaster and I'm not sure it's even worth the ride. Wait, let me go back and define what a situationship is in case you've never heard of the term.  A situationship is  basically a pseudo-relationship masking itself as a formative relationship. It smells like a relationship, it sorta looks like a relationship, and it may even feel like one, but it's not. So yeah for those of you o
