Drake and Kanye Tensions???
Quote:
Even if Drake and Kanye West aren't best friends, Drizzy still counts the Chicago rapper/producer as one of his musical idols.
Drake dropped into Shade 45's morning show Thursday (December 9) and chatted it up with host Elliott Wilson on a variety of topics, including being removed from the final version of Yeezy's "All of the Lights."
An early version of the song, whose crowded guest list includes Elton John, La Roux's Elly Jackson, Charlie Wilson and Ryan Leslie, had previously leaked that included Drake, but the Toronto rapper is nowhere to be found on the version that appears on West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
"Kanye's creative process is ever-changing," Drake said, adding that he doesn't know why he was removed. "We make music differently. I make what comes to me and I hate changing it, whereas 'Ye will change something 30 or 40 times to get it perfect. To each their own, and the change was to put all those people on it, and I wasn't one of them. That's completely OK."
Since Drake came to national prominence with the release of his So Far Gone mixtape, the MC has been compared to West — not just for his introspective lyrics, but for his overall sound as well. Back in August, Drake's main producer, Noah "40" Shebib, relayed a story about Kanye West cursing him out for using his production style. Add to that mix the fact that Drake and Kanye have appeared on relatively few songs together — including "Forever," with Lil Wayne and Eminem — and conspiracy theorists feel there must be tension between the two.
"I can never sit here and tell you that's not one of my idols, that's not one of my favorite rappers," Drake said of Kanye during the Shade 45 interview. "Whatever energy I've ever felt is irrelevant. When you ask me, 'What do I think of Kanye West,' I'mma always have something positive to say."
The host then interjected by asking, "But sometimes the energy is not always where you want it to be?"
"I feel like we can co-exist," Drake answered. "I feel like hip-hop is broad enough that we can both exist and give great music without feeling like it's one or the other. I might be the only one that feels that way, though."
Drake stressed his reverence for Kanye West. At only 24 years old, the Canadian MC said he missed the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac era, and Yeezy is a personal favorite artist whose career he can personally trace since its inception.

Don't even bother releasing SMAGT at this point. It should have been released over a month ago.

Am I the only one who was disappointed with TML ?
I wish Jay Z signed Drake instead of Weezy... He would have had a much better album.
I need more songs like FIND YOUR LOVE & SHOW ME A GOOD TIME and less Fireworks and Fancy

There should be some type of break between the eras. Even if it's just one month.
Anyway, I'm super excited for this. Next year is going to slay with these new releases: GaGa, Weezy, Drake, Nicki should release another album next year too. Life is good.

I wasn't disappointed but there were some unnecessary fillers and "not so good" songs on the album...
The obvious highlights were...
Over, Find Your Love, Up All Night, Miss Me, Show Me a Good Time
Some not so good songs were....
Fancy (bad 4th single choice), Unforgettable, Shut it Down, The Resistance, Karaoke
Jay-Z might have been a better choice but Lil Wayne practically created him so that would kind of be like betrayal if he changed record labels

Nicki Minaj, Drake Set To Shoot 'Moment 4 Life' Video
Quote:
Nicki Minaj recently experienced something few new artists can claim: seeing your debut earn the #2 spot on the Billboard albums chart. The Queens native's Pink Friday LP sold a little more than 375,000 copies in its first week of release, falling just behind Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Now the MC is prepping the video for Friday's "Moment 4 Life," which features Young Money labelmate Drake.
"She's shooting hopefully on December 20," Young Money president Mack Maine told MTV News. "We're still trying to work out the date for the next video with [Nicki] and Drake for the 'Moment 4 Life' video. That's the next project."
We also spoke to the Young Money head about Nicki's success and what it has meant to the Miami-by-way-of-New Orleans clan.
"It was [a special moment], especially with her being a female in this day and time too," Maine said. "Also, people don't know that I was a big factor in making sure that Nicki got signed with us and also just sticking with her through ups and downs.
"Just to see her go from a seed being planted to a ... forest, just a beautiful flawless forest ... the world recognizes. Big ups to Nicki, she worked hard," he continued. "She represents the female gender, and she basically delivered. There were a lot of odds against her and she defeated all of that and, for her to deliver like that, I gotta say congratulations."
True to form, when news of her sales reached the animated MC, she was overcome, Maine recalled.
"She was excited. We talked about it and her emotion was crazy," Maine said. "She basically shed tears, tears of joy. I have to congratulate her and say thank you to all of the fans that supported — without them we wouldn't be anything. ... She wouldn't be anything."
