Lil’ Wayne’s ‘How to Love,’ a sweet song about self-esteem and redemption, was a departure for the normally gritty rapper — such a departure that even reed-voiced tween sensation Justin Bieber recorded a version of it himself.

Tonight is Wednesday night so that means my Weezy Wednesday block party is hitting us at the end of the 9 o'clock hour.  Lil Wayne 's The Carter IV dropped yesterday and it is already causing controversy.  The question is will Lil Wayne' s The Carter IV outsell Kanye West and Jay-Z 's Watch the Throne ...

New albums today include the hard copy of Tha Carter IV from Lil Wayne which went on sale digitally after his VMA performance.  Also, Powerman 5000 and Puddle of Mudd both putting out albums featuring the bands covering songs from other bands.  Red Hot Chili Peppers drop their first in 5 years and more.

What could possibly make this year’s VMAs better for Lil Wayne fans? Well, not only is the rapper going to be performing during the ceremony, but he also announced that he will release ‘Tha Carter IV’ to all digital retailers, including iTunes and Amazon, at midnight following the VMAs, which will air this Sunday on MTV.

Anne Hathaway might never get to host the Oscars again, but she could very well have a future in gangster rap. In an appearance on Tuesday night’s ‘Conan,’ the elegant actress spoke about the negative press she’s been getting surrounding her role as Catwoman in the upcoming ‘Batman’ movie. When Conan asked how she blows off steam, Hathaway said, “The paparazzi attention’s been a little intense. So

When it comes to making money in the hip-hop game, everybody is staring up at Jay-Z’s throne. The 41-year-old rapper and mogul took in $37 million over the past year, making him the highest-earning hip-hop star. The $37 million includes record sales, a 10-year, $150 million deal with Live Nation and part ownership of the New Jersey Nets, among other investments.

MTV announced Thursday that Adele, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne will each perform at its annual Video Music Awards in August. This will mark the first VMA performance for Adele, who is up for multiple awards, including Video of the Year, for her chart-topping single, ‘Rolling in the Deep.’

Lil Wayne: Film star, entrepreneur, multiplatinum recording artist, and…hall of fame bowler? The Bowling Proprietors Association of America (BPAA) thinks so — they’ve nominated the rapper for inclusion in the International Bowling Hall of Fame, along with Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Michael Jordan.

Every Wednesday I celebrate with a Weezy Wednesday block party tonight is no different but I am added a little something, something extra! Lil Wayne just performed at MTV's Unplugged and by far some of his best performances. I can't say the best although it is close because I am bias and still think his performance at Bonnaroo was amazing, although, this Unplugged is defiantly worth checking out a

Ogling strippers is kind of like eating Twinkies — it’s awesome in theory, and fun for a minute or two, but ultimately, all you’re going home with is an empty feeling and a touch of regret. That’s the moral of the story for Enrique Iglesias’ new video, ‘Dirty Dancer,’ which drives the point home with cameos from Usher and Lil Wayne — not to mention plenty of world-class pole dancing from a bevy of

From 30+ hours in the car to a spectacular peeling  sun burn and little less than 10 hours of sleep for four days Bonnaroo 2011 was nothing short of one of the best times of my life.  We left for Manchester, Tennessee mid-day in a Tahoe packed to the brim with 6 peoples' luggage, food, tents, sleeping bags and of course the drinking essentials...

Lil Wayne is pulling the plug.  Going acoustic next month Weezy stokes the fire of his anticipated The Carter 4 which is also slatted for release next month and my hopes are that it will rival Jay Z's Stoytellers performance. Lil Wayne Unplugged will air on MTV2, MTV and stream at MTV...
