Tell Me Something Good - Rufus & Chaka Khan

♫ Soulja Boy is allegedly going on tour with Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy and Drake. The rapper confirmed that announcement via his Twitter page. Here's where things get a lil' tricky, Soulja Boy's rep told MTV that he was joining this lineup as well, however a rep from the Young Money /Lil' Wayne camp told them that a concert tour with at least some of the four artists will happen...*My bets on Jeezy not being on it!* But more news from the SOD camp (that's my word for today, camp) Soulja Boy is releasing a Gangsta Grillz mixtape. What's killer (the bad killer not the good killer) about the mixtape? It's called "Follow Me: Gangsta Grillz Twitter Edition," yes the mixtape is dedicated to Twitter, will be released through Twitter first, and he's actually pulling a Yung Berg with this Twitter title. *except I doubt he'll scam his DJ, would YOU mess with DJ Drama?*

♫ So you'd be lying to yourself if you said Drake wasn't a record label's wet dream he's: new, endorsed by rap bigwigs, getting love on the radio, crazy rumors about his romance life and best of all, he's unsigned. Drake reportedly has three record labels on his tip to get him to come to their side, much like a super fly car at an auto auction. Jimmy Brooks is moving too fast for his own speed though, he's already about to be involved in a major lawsuit. Canadian Money Entertaiment (CME...Ca-na-di-an...Canada...) released a "Drake" mixtape through iTunes and there would be nothing wrong with that if a) it weren't unauthorized and b) if it were REAL! The CD was being SOLD on iTunes and Drake and his peeps are filing a lawsuit against the group. A cease and desist letter has been sent to iTunes and according to XXL Drake's manager, Al Branch, had this to say:

This is a straight bootleg, a scandal. We are behind promoting records at radio, but haven’t sold it. iTunes position is that they are store and they stock everything. They have a waiver and as long as people sign it and are responsible for the product they submit, then they go for it.

♫ Ay Remember Sticky Fingaz from the hip-hop group Onyx (group also had Fredro Starr aka Q from Moesha for all y'all uber late 90's babies)? Well he's doing a hip-hop musical, no it's not some uber lame 3 hour show with shiny and sequined dance sequences (how's that for alliteration?) It's a movie told in the form of rap, which would probably make it sound more like Spoken word than anything else. It's going to be released via Lions Gate films (they've done Tyler Perry's joints), and it's also straight to DVD and will arrive in stores July 7, 2009. Some of the stars Mekhi Phifer (I think he really wants to be a rapper, secretly, lol), Omar Epps, Faizon Love, Treach, Ray J and a few others. Peep the trailer below.

*Now I did peep this film on IMDB.com and according to it, it was a 2007 film and has Lamont Bentley (Of Moesha fame as Hakeem) cast as one of the characters. What's weird is Lamont Bentley passed away in 2005, which means that this film had to have been filmed either just before his death or a year earlier. Had to throw all this in because I didn't want any discrepancies about anything*
