Lil Wayne Reps Roc-A-Fella At Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival [WATCH]

lil-wayne-flog-gnaw

On various songs in Lil Wayne’s catalog, he has let it be known he is a “Muthafuckin’ Cash Money Millionaire.”

Saturday night the crowd at the “Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival” were caught off guard when Weezy altered the chorus of “I’m Me” with “I know that ain’t fair / but I don’t care, I’m a muthafuckin’ Cash Money R-O-C millionaire.”

It is a mystery whether Wayne is in discussions to join Roc Nation or if he was just looking to irk Birdman (who he’s suing for $51-million) by showing his allegiance to Jay-Z.

What is known is that Weezy partnered with Jay-Z as a co-owner of TIDAL a year ago. Could the Louisiana rapper be working on a new deal with Jay?

If you’re familiar with The Beatles, you know they were one of the greatest rock bands ever. They were also the inspiration behind Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” single off their sophomore album, ‘Sremm Life 2’.

The single featuring Gucci Mane and produced by Mike WiLL-Made It, has shot up from No. 9 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, passing The Chainsmokers for the top spot. “Black Beatles” is not only Rae Sremmurd’s first No. 1 hit, it is also Mike WiLL-Made It and Gucci Mane’s first.

Mike WiLL, whom was discovered by Gucci and ironically discovered Rae Sremmurd, shared his experience with Billboard saying, “To be able to put Gucci Mane, the person that gave me my first opportunity in music, and Rae Sremmurd, the debut artist from my [imprint, Eardrummer], on what’s both [Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane’s] biggest record ever, and the first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 for both, is something I could have never imagined or dreamed of.”

It is worth noting that the recent Mannequin Challenge viral frenzy has helped the song jump up eight spots and contributed to sales and streams.

The video of the song was directed by Nabil Elderkin and pictures different happy couples around the world, in places like Domiz Refugee Camp in Iraq, Pulse Nighclub in Orlando, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota.
John Legend stars together with his wife, Chrissy Tiegen, and their beautiful daughter, Luna.
“This video shows how love can be shared in some of the most difficult situations on earth in which the human spirit and connection with each other prevails. From one of the longest standing refugee camps in northern Iraq just 45 miles outside of Mosul, to Standing Rock Reservation where they are fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline that threatens their sacred lands and all of our water, it is a glimpse into these couples’ lives and the lives of those in their communities,” said director Nabil Elderkin.
Thank you, John Legend, for showing us that in a mad world, love can overcome anything.

Shia LaBeouf Disses Drake & Lil’ Yachty On Sway Freestyle [WATCH]

“Transformers” star, Shia LaBeouf transformed into a lyriscist on Shade 45’s “Sway in the Morning” show. In the process of rapping he took some shots at Drake and Lil’ Yachty as part of the show’s “Five Fingers of Death” freestyle.

LaBeouf goes in on Drizzy by saying, “It’s trash rap in October / Who wrote what for who? It’s all so below par / Substandard / Used to be a litmus / If you didn’t write your own shit, you got dismissed.” might be siding with Kid Cudi, who he directed a recent short film for.

He then goes for Lil’ Yachty saying, “Where did spitters go? / Garbage litter shit they wrote / Miss me with that Lil’ Boat / ‘Cause bigger individuals / Committed to these principals / Is living on they tippy-toes / Sinking with a hippy’s hope.”

Not gonna lie, he spit some harder shit than some of the rappers these days.
