Drake Has Signed With Lil Wayne'

Photo by Young Money


Drake signed with Lil Wayne's Young Money yesterday. There was speculation that he was to sign with Universal but the was announced by MTV claimed that he wants to stay in independent artist, so he will be with Young Money but he Universal will distribute his music. Whatever his plans are, he will be an interesting young artist who will emerge successful. He has a lot of followers, and no matter the negative opinions about this move he made, I think it will definitely give him more publicity.

Watched Drake on BET

I watched Drakeperforming on BET last night.

I think it was a little inappropriate singing the song "Every Girl" with Lil Wayne's daughter and friends with them. The song is about wishing and having relations with every girl they want or meet. Kind of not to correct scene for audience and kids to see.

As of late this Video has been taken down so that BET can cover their behind for the scandal it has created.




Here is Drake's interview at the BET after party.

50 Cent Talks About Drake

















Watch this video on 50 cent expressing his thoughts on Drake's growing popularity on the hip hop industry. His opinions show a different view on how Drake is creating a sensation through his mixtape. 50 cent is smart and his claims can be true, that it is a marketing strategy that no one really sees and Universal may have played a part on it. I give it to 5o cent for seeing beneath all the hype and sharing with us his thoughts on this arrangement Drake may have with Universal.

New Way of Promotion For Music Artists

There is a new way of promoting an up and coming artist. It is by way of recording a mixtape and distributing it FREE to the public. We have heard about this new marketing strategy as Soulja Boy and popular rapper, Drake has done this as well. I have posted about Drake talking about Soulja Boy's success using this marketing meduim, "Listen to Drake & Jay-Z Talk about Soulja Boy". We also have seen M.I.A do it when she shared her songs and she has gained poplularity for it. I believe others are following their footsteps in hopes to get the same attention, as you see below. Check out this new artist Young Boy Thomas.

Theirs Nothing You Can Do To Me



Is this the new era of markteting for the Hip Hop and the whole Music Industry? I think that many will follow, but will it help their career? Is this the new type of blogging through free sharing of music and mixtapes? I guess we will see if it works. I think that for many of the budding artists out there, they should jump on this wagon while it the idea is still hot, because the next thing you know, the public will just be inundated with so many mixtapes and so many artists that they will not know who to follow or listen to.

Drake was a presenter at the Much Music Video Awards. The Star.com has quoted him saying "Probably by the end of next week I should have a record deal done," Drake said. "It will be with somebody under the Universal (Records) umbrella."

The shared download of his mixtape definitely helped his career take off in the right direction. It was a great marketing tactic, and seeing from the speed of his record deals, I think a lot of aspiring artists out there should take notice and take pointers from Drake's success. This is the new era of artist development, in which Drake took all of it into his own hands.

Drake Will Reveal His Record Deal

The up and coming music artist Drake had a recent phone interview on DC's WPGC 95.5. He spoke about his new found fame, his love for visiting DC, and working with Jay-Z. Drake also spoke about his Young Money summer tour and he also cleared up the rumors between him and singer Rihanna.





There are rumors that Lil' Wayne is a somewhat disappointed for Drake not immediately signing with him and his group and label, Young Money. Lil' Wayne feels that after taking him on tour and introducing him to the masses, Drake could return a favor of some sort. I think Drake is just being cautious about his career. Great move for Drake! We will be anxiously awaiting which label he will be signing with.

Hip Hop Artist Fabolous

Hip hop artist Fabolous speaks to RealTalkNY.net and shares his thoughts about the music genre. He comments about hip hop music, its transformation and where marketing has been dictating this genre. He shares his idea of how it can be improved by using balance. Fabolous also critiques artists in the use of auto-tune and supports Jay-Z's attempt to combat that music fad.

Fabolous was not afraid to express his opinion and I think his interview shows that he is just passionate about music and that he will not succumb to trends.



His albumLoso's Way the Movie & Album will be in stores in July 28. Also check out his website My Fabolous Life. The website is a new social medium for people to connect with others who have the same interests.

Music Watch Kanye West and Lady Gaga


According to MTV.com Kanye West announced today that he will be going on tour with Lady Gaga. He states he is a Lady Gaga fan and that he was inspired by her hit song "Poker Face". He collaborated with Kid Cudi to rework the song to "I Make Her Say." He claims that him and Lady Gaga are doing the show together and "that she will not be an opening act."

More information about the tour will be revealed soon.

I feel this is a fresh new take in concerts as most artist going on tour usually only use other artists as an opening act. Kanye West seems like the humble artist that welcomes new artists. Be it the famous dance diva such as Lady Gaga or Chris Allen of American Idol singing his own rendition of "Heartless." Either way it will be a a treat for both the artists' fans.
