Lil Wayne And T.I. Release “Wit Me” Video

May 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Just days after dropping the official audio, Lil Wayne and T.I. have released the video for their collaborative single “Wit Me.”

When so little time passes between the single and video release I always feel like we run the chance of repeating ourselves. That said, “Wit Me” is just as infectious and hard hitting now as it was the first time it filled our office with its bass-loving sound. The video features a flimsy story about Weezy and The King of Atlanta running from police in expensive cars through the streets of Miami, but more than anything it’s a …

T.I. And Lil Wayne Team Up On “Wit Me”

May 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

Just a bit ahead of their plans to tour the country together throughout the Summer, T.I. and Lil Wayne have released a new collaborative effort titled “Wit Me.”

Backed by one of the most exciting beats so far this year, “Wit Me” plays like a lyrical contest between T.I. and Lil Wayne. Say what you will about either rapper and their most recent full length, but both emcees go in full force on this track, and I’m not sure which comes out on top. You can stream the song below and decide for yourself.

As someone who left Lil Wayne’s …

Lil Wayne brings the entire crew together today for the release of his new “Tapout” music video. This video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and features Birdman, Future, Mack Maine and Nicki Minaj.

Not only does the Rich Gang take the cake for an elaborate video but we even find special cameos from Paris Hilton, Christina Milian and so many more. Paris and Christina are aiming to spike the rich guy’s drink while they steal all of his valuables. Classy. Look out for appearances from Bow Wow and DJ Khaled as well.

YMCMB compilation drops on June 25.

Lil Wayne Issues Apology to Emmett Till’s Family

May 1st, 2013 Grant Trimboli

Lil Wayne has issued a direct apology to the family of slain Chicago teenager Emmett Till for using insensitive lyrics in Future’s song “Karate Chop (Remix).” Read the statement to Till’s family and comment if you think changing the lyrics was the right thing to do.

Wayne acknowledging the family’s feelings on the matter was a good move.

Dear Till Family:

As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.

It has come …

2 Chainz Releases “Yuck” Video

April 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

2 Chainz has partnered with YMCMB mastermind Lil Wayne to release the video for their collaborative 2012 effort, “Yuck.”

Taken from 2 Chainz’s debut album where it served as the opening track, “Yuck” is a snare and synth-heavy jam created for showcasing the lyrical prowess of whatever MC decides to ride the beat. In this case it’s 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne stepping up to the challenge, and in the end both unsurprisingly manage to leave a positive impression on the listener. It’s hard to imagine Lil Wayne taking a backseat to someone as far as verses are concerned, but …

Lil Wayne Opens Up: “I’m an epileptic. I’m prone to seizures.”

March 28th, 2013 James Shotwell

Between his recent health issues and the release of I Am Not A Human Being Part 2 it has been virtually impossible to avoid Lil Wayne this month. Surprisingly, all that happened without the Young Money mastermind saying much of anything outside the brief public confirmation he was feeling better after being hospitalized for multiple seizures (rumored to be brought on by Wayne’s addiction to codeine cough syrup). All that changed today, however, when Weezy spoke with Power106 in LA and opened up about everything that has been going on in his highly publicized life.

Speaking on his recent medical …

Limp Bizkit Stream New Single “Ready To Go” (ft. Lil Wayne)

March 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

Just a week after rumors began to swirl that the band would be touring stateside without DJ Lethal later this Spring, a new single from Limp Bizkit has found its way online.

Streamed in its entirety for the first time since being teased over a year ago, “Ready To Go,” is the long-gestating single that features a guest appearance from Young Money mastermind Lil Wayne. The track is an all-out party rock song, and it often makes reference to the fact most rock music sucks these days. Then again, it follows this declaration with a guest verse from a hip …

REVIEW: Lil Wayne – I Am Not A Human Being Part 2

March 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

Artist: Lil Wayne
Album: I Am Not A Human Being Part 2
Label: Young Money

As much as I hate to say it, the quality of Lil Wayne’s music has inarguably become questionable in recent years. When The Carter 3 arrived, Wayne was on top of the world with a record that reflected both his precision as a street-bred lyricist and his ability to craft a pop song with a hook you could not escape. The success that followed that release carried Wayne to a level of stardom few ever find. A rare space where all those contenders you battled …

March 22nd, 2013 Grant Trimboli

UTG could not be happier to see Lil Wayne out of the hospital and feeling better.

With that being said, Weezy drops the visuals for his 2 Chainz-assisted track “Rich As F*ck” and finds the rappers located out in the desert. Wayne and Dos Chainz introduce line after line about their bank accounts and how superior they are to regular folks. A normal day with millions to blow.

“Rich As F*ck” will be appearing on Wayne’s I Am Not A Human Being II. Does this song make you want to pre-order IANAHB? Watch the video here…

Birdman States Lil Wayne’s Seizure Was Due To “His Work Ethic”

March 18th, 2013 Grant Trimboli

Young Money owner Birdman has broken his silence regarding the rumor of Lil Wayne’s seizure last week were due to a overdosage of codeine. Apparently the rapper’s health scare was just an episode of working too hard, according to the CEO. Read what Birdman had to say below and make your own decision on what the real case is here.

“He had a seizure through the night. We’ve really been in the hospital since Tuesday. All the stuff that people have been saying, there’s no truth to it at all,” he said. “We never left [the hospital] after the first …
