Wayne Wants To Be Known As a Musician Rather Than a Rapper

lil wayne smiling Wayne Wants To Be Known As a Musician Rather Than a Rapper Lil Wayne has produced tons of singles in his career so far, but he has never been excited as he is now for the freshly leaked ‘How to Love.’

Speaking in a recent interview with MTV host Sway in ‘Unplugged,’ Lil Wayne described ‘How to Love’ as an amazing song, the likes of which he has never made before.

The song which got leaked online last week, has been produced by Detail and Wayne-the singer, can be heard crooning on it-something very unusual for an artist who has made his name in the rap game. A philosophical =-sounding Weezy commented, “You had a lot of crooks try to still your heart, never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out how to love.” page go Wayne Wants To Be Known As a Musician Rather Than a Rapper Continue reading Wayne Wants To Be Known As a Musician Rather Than a Rapper »

Cuz we all know how difficult/embarrassing it is to communicate touchy subject matters to anyone especially our parents! And this is why! … Cuz we turn the other cheek! U can’t hide your kids from society, or they’ll never learn how to adapt! This is the REAL WORLD! … The music industry isn’t exactly Parents R Us! We have the freedom to make art, LET US! It’s your job to make sure they don’t turn out like US.”

dr.dre and the game The Game Talks about Cool and Dre’s ‘Red Nation’ Contribution Dr. Dre’s friendship with The Game may have some competition as now there is a new ‘Dre’ in town, with whom the Los Angeles-born MC is getting buddies with. Well actually it’s the production duo of Cool and Dre, who we’re talking about. The Miami-based producers are the creative force behind ‘Red Nation’-the first single of Game’s forthcoming studio collection The R.E.D. Album.

Speaking with MTV from his hometown city of Los Angeles where he was busy shooting the Red Nation video, Game lavished immense praise on his longtime collaborators. He said that from his very initial days in the rap business to his current project, Cool and Dre have always been supportive and have provided him with great material for him throughout his rap career. Game considers the two as his brothers in the music industry and they have always responded by repaying the respect that the Game has for them. ‘Red Nation,’ ‘Big Dreams’ and the Ne-Yo featuring ‘Camera Phone’ are all shining examples of the trio’s understanding and hitmaking combination.

Wiz Khalifa Wiz Khalifa Explains Lack of Rolling Papers Collaboration Tracks There is no doubting the fact that frequently ‘high’ Wiz Khalifa is quickly climbing the ‘high’ echelons of rap-stardom. The lanky MC’s debut album ‘Rolling Papers’ was released last week and it immediately shot to number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, thanks to the 197,000 copies sold in its debut week.

Such a great response is even more meaningful for Wiz Khalifa, because more than half of Rolling Papers songs have been composed and directed by I.D. Labs, the production group with whom he has long been associated with. However, the main ‘Black and Yellow’ tune was developed by Stargate group.
