This is a second preview to the now highly anticipated song "Cash Money Heroes" that will be featuring Birdman, Lil Wayne, Jay Sean, and Kevin Rudolf. It would sorta suck if after all this hype the song sucked. But they sound good in these previews so I'm hoping for the best.

Maino - Tiger Woods
"Maino was kind enough to send us this “Tiger” joint this morning to debut, and it sheds light on why he (and most men) can be compared to Tiger Woods. I found the song very truthful (Maino can be painfully honest) and entertaining. This is def going in rotation."- Angela Yee

Wale - The Meeting
"So in the spring of 2007, I suggested to Wale that he create an audio manifesto of what he wanted to accomplish as an artist once he signed. DC producer Osinachi, the maestro behind “Nike Boots” who is now part of Rodney Jerkins’ team, blessed Wale with the beat for “The Meeting” and Wale, how do you say, “went in.” This became the first track we played in label meetings and for a time, it was discussed that this would be the intro for Attention Deficit. In retrospect, I think Wale stayed true to the goals set forth in “The Meeting” and you can still hear the hunger in his voice. So 2.5 years later, this track is emancipated. And make sure you cop Attention Deficit if you haven’t done so already."

Timbaland Says He Is finished With Hip Hop
I don't think this is a smart move. He is a part of hip hop. If he goes through with this it could mess up his career.
"After my last album, I know where my bread and butter is at," Tim explained. "I know 75 percent [of the people who buy my album] are women who love Timbaland and most are the women who watch 'Desperate Housewives' and all those others. I did this research. It's the women who watch 'Sex and the City,' 'Desperate Housewives' — all the real go-to-the-bar women like Timbaland, and mostly European women. It lets me know that my fanbase is mostly women and they are from all cultures. So it's not a person who loves mostly hip-hop. It's a person who loves everything besides hip-hop."

My Third Album is Titled "LASERS" not "WE ARE LASERS" or "LUPE.N.D."...
MY NEXT ALBUM IS NOT TITLED "LUPE.N.D."...

"LASERS" does NOT drop in 2009...
"LASERS" does NOT HAVE A RELEASE DATE YET...
"SOLAR MIDNITE" is NOT a single off of "LASERS"...Nor was it intended to be apart of "LASERS" project...
"SOLAR MIDNITE" was exclusively done at the request of the Twilight: New Moon Team to be apart of their film, motion picture soundtrack and as a vehicle to promote the film...NOT TO PROMOTE "LASERS"...
I produced "SOLAR MIDNITE"
I'm not SELLING OUT by doing a song for NEW MOON...
People thought I "SOLD OUT" when I did "Kick, Push"...
I LOVE "SOLAR MIDNITE"...
"SOLAR MIDNITE" is NOT a HIP-HOP RECORD...
I've done ROCK or ROCK-like records on all of my previous albums...i.e. "The Instrumental" "Hello/Goodbye"...
I HAVE A PUNK BAND CALLED JAPANESE CARTOON WHICH I SING IN AND PRODUCE FOR...I DO NOT GO BY "LUPE FIASCO" WHEN I DO SONGS WITH JAPANESE CARTOON...NOR PERCIVAL FATS!!!...I USE MY REAL NAME...
Enemy Of The State was NOT, NOT, NOT meant to be an album...so stop (to the ungrateful among you) TREATING it like one...
Enemy Of The State was short for a reason...I DONT LIKE TO WASTE SONGS...AND IT SHOULDN'T TAKE YOU THAT LONG TO PROVE YOUR NICE IF YOUR "REALLY" NICE...
ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS WATERED DOWN ON PURPOSE...BECAUSE ITS NOT AN ALBUM...
MOST OF ENEMY OF THE STATE WAS DONE IN ONE DAY...

Nicki Minaj x Complex Interview
Complex: So is romancing and seduction part of your repertoire when it comes to the bedroom?
Nicki Minaj: I don't like romancing and I don't like seduction. It's corny to me. I like role-playing, but that's not one of my characters. [Laughs.]
Complex: With all the touring you've been doing, do you have time for a boyfriend?
Nicki Minaj: I have no dating life, I can only hope and wish and imagine and fantasize. They demand too much. In life there's always going to be one thing that takes precedence, and when you're as hungry as I am you have tunnel vision. So I can't really cater to a dude right now—I love them and I think they're cute, but I can't do what they want me to do for them right now.
Complex: Sounds like you need a vacation.
Nicki Minaj: I've always wanted to go to Hawaii. I really want to go there and just lay on the beach. Then, also, I could have the other rap girls feed me fruit—since they don't have anything to do right now! [Laughs.] Strawberries, grapes, watermelon, and pineapple. I so know that part is going to make the interview.
