DRAKE AND KANYE GOT BEEF . . . YE PULLED A B*TCH MOVE . . . AND COST DRIZZY MILLIONS!! (DETAILS)


rappers DRAKE and KANYE WEST don't like each other. Word on the street is that Kanye believes that Drake is STEALING HIS STYLE, and he doesn't like it.
And Kanye flexed his muscles a few months ago - and that move may have ended up costing Drake MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
You'll recall that Drake's album Take Care, was supposed to come out on his BIRTHDAY October 24th - to coincide with the release of his OCTOBERS VERY OWN clothing line. Well MediaTakeOut.com's insider claims that Kanye pulled a B*TCH MOVE - and got Drake's album PUSHED BACK.
The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "Kanye West [had some samples] that were going to be on Drake's album - but at the last minute he wouldn't clear it - and they had to be removed from the album."
Drake's album was DELAYED for three weeks - causing UPHEAVAL in his release schedule. And according to one celebrity insider, likely cost Drake MILLIONS of dollars.
And Yeezy's not done messing with his younger rap rival. We're told that he has already penned a new Drake DISS TRACK - that will be on his next album.
Dang . . . sounds like Yeezy is just HATING to us . . .

Rihanna, Mary J Blige & Yelawolf First Week Album Sales


The final estimates are in for this week’s album sales. It was a busy week with many new projects being released. But it seems the #1 album in the country will belong to rock band Nickelback with an estimated 225K sold.


Rihanna has been denied the #1 spot again and will have to settle for #3 as her album “Talk That Talk” brings in 197K. The other big R&B release, Mary J Blige’s “My Life II The Journey Continues” will debut at #5 with 164K copies sold.


Shady 2.0′s first release disappoints in terms of sales as Yelawolf’s very solid “Radioactive” album only sold 41K and will sit at #25 on the charts.


Those were the final estimates for this week. Final numbers will be revealed tomorrow. For the full list, check out HDD.

Lil Scrappy Returns to Acting Via Tyler Perry


Rapper Lil Scrappy began his acting career in 2009 with a part in the straight-to-DVD film Just Another Day, and now the ATL spitter is giving it another try.
"I just did Tyler Perry's House of Payne, and that episode will be out at the top of the year around the time my album The Grustle comes out. I also just did the new Tyler Perry movie. I just like the opportunities, Scrappy told XXL.
When asked which he preferred more, making music or acting, Scrappy chose music.
"The first thing is you get more money acting, but I don't know if I like acting better than music," he says. "I think want to be like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson — just do both of 'em and get all the money."

T.I. Says Eminem Helped His Recovery




In this portion of his chat with Billboard, T.I. commends Eminem for helping him with his own drug addiction, which started off as medication from oral surgery.
“I haven’t had a chance to speak to Em since I’ve been home. I heard that while I was down, he was trying to get in contact with me, but I don’t know if the dots just didn’t connect. [Eminem] overcoming his own adversities, winning the battle against his own demons and continuing to break the mold and re-set the standard of what it means to be the most successful hip-hop artist in the game … I salute that to no end.”

Pooch Hall Reveals JAIL STINT At Bayou Classic!


Over the weekendLance Gross and Pooch Hall were among the celebrities in New Orleans for the Bayou Classic at the Superdome. And they did a bit of good between all the parties.  During a panel where they shared their life experiences with today's youth, Pooch Hall revealed a jail stint from his past.  Deets inside.....
Over the weekend, Do-Gooder YBF stars Lance Gross, BET's "The Game" actor, Pooch Hall and "ATL" star Jackie Longhosted a celebrity panel for The "Achieve One" Youth Empowerment Summit during the annual Southern University and Grambling State University Bayou Classic Weekend.
During the panel, the actor told the 500 students how they overcame set backs as black actors, told students to stay focused and out of trouble and urged students to never give up.
Pooch Hall shockingly revealed,
"Not too many people know this, but I had a run in with the law years and years ago where I was jailed for four months. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and with the wrong people. It's important that you have good influences and surround yourself around good people because not everyone gets a second chance like I did."
And Lance Gross added,
"One of the biggest struggles I faced growing up was being a shy kid. I had to learn to overcome this and although I'm still a shy guy I haven't let it hold me back from opportunities."

Dawn Richard's "December Sky" Promo Pics + Wale & Rick Ross Chop It Up In BILLBOARD


Kalenna's not the only one embarking on her solo career.  Dawn Richard, one-third singer/songwriter of the Diddy-Dirty Money group, is releasing her first iTunes solo single, "December Sky.  And we have her brand new promo pics. 

Plus, check out what Wale and Rick Ross told BILLBOARD mag this week inside...
Dawn got into the Holiday spirit recently when she released a sweet song about missing loved ones during the Holidays.  She wrote and produced "December Sky" alongside Druski (who she also did "SMFU" with).  Check out her new promo pics.



"A lot of people won't be able to see their loved ones this Christmas," says Dawn. "Whether they are serving in Iraq/Iran, in the industry or working a 9 to 5, the truth is a lot of us aren't able to make it home for the holidays. So this record is for them and anyone else missing their love - the sky and stars are a gift for us both because no matter how far apart we are, we are under the same sky."
"December Sky" is available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody and the iPhone Store beginning December 1, 2011.  And the New Orleans native is also prepping her solo album debut GoldenHeart.



The Maybach Music boys are the feature of the upcoming issue of Billboard magazine.  After a good start by Wale and an upcoming much awaited LP from CEO Rick Ross, the MMG is making headlines everywhere.  Here's their quotes:

RICK ROSS QUOTES
On his health:
One month later, Ross says that he “feels great,” and although rumors abound about his physical state, he chalks up the scares to a “lack of sleep.”
“It could have been a lot worse,” Ross adds of the health scare. “So I’m just thankful. I feel good—and I’m back on my grind already.”
About his new album, “God Forgives, I Don’t”:
“This album is almost like a movie,” Ross says. “I wanted [the title] to be something that was extremely emotional, to set up a real roller coaster ride as far as the music and thought process. It sounds like a term of retaliation, and with the picture that I’m painting, it felt perfect.”
On Maybach’s business model:
“I’ve most definitely been a fan of Hov and his whole movement,” Ross says of Jay-Z. “He gave a blueprint to a lot of young entrepreneurs, as well as Wayne, with how active Wayne is with artists. There’s a lot of different approaches, but at the end of the day, we’ve . . . just got to be hands-on and walk our own path.”
On having faith in Wale’s talent despite poor album sales:
Ross says that he could see the passion in Wale’s rhymes, and the poor sales of Attention Deficit didn’t deter him from offering Wale a deal. “It wasn’t about hype, and it wasn’t about past success,” Ross says. “It was about who Wale was as an MC—an incredible MC—that made me a fan. I felt we could make history together.”
WALE
On the success of “Ambition”:
“It’s not surprising,” Wale ways coolly of the victory. “I knew I could do it.”
On label boss Rick Ross:
“I was on his radar,” Wale says. “Ross had the vision from the start.”
On getting good advice from Jay-Z:
“Jay-Z, essentially, is my business adviser,” Wale says. “Him, Rich and [Roc Nation’s] John Meneilly. I know Jay has a personal place in his heart for Ambition. I remember one time I was on the phone with Jay, asking him, ‘What did I do [wrong]? What can I do differently?’ He was like, ‘Maybe you just didn’t come with that single. You made a solid first album. But you didn’t come up with that single.’ That just added fuel to my fire.”
His take on rap music:
“[Rappers] used to take pride in being the best or becoming the best. Now they just talk about who has the most swag. But who wants to be the best?” he asks. Wale really wants to know. “Come to the table with your albums. I nailed it this time. I’ll keep busting my ass until . . . you’re going to have to respect me. I love hip-hop so much, and I’m really a humble dude. We’re all cocky inside our records—because that’s how rap is.”
