Lil Wayne’s Master Plan
With tracks off Drake’s soon to be released album, Take Care, already breaching the Billboard Top Ten before the album release we can start to visualize that the YMCMB crew may be passing down the torch. Business strategy, fate, who knows, but Drizzy’s following and musical output can now be put along the same lines as his master, Lil Wayne. As Weezy approaches 30 (now 29), his glamour will no longer contain the same Young Money swagger it once had. We can view this as Drake, now 25, overcoming the natural tale of time, replenishing the YMCMB motto (with counterpart Nicki Minaj, now 28, drawing in the female market). Ultimately, the growing YMCMB business will grant Lil Wayne enough money to live to old age in immense steadily growing wealth. He has accomplished his ultimate goal, and soon Dr. Carter can sit back and hope his Young Money farm team raises another YMCMB star into the majors. - S.R.

TLC announced on April 25th, the ten-year anniversary of Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez’s death, that they are putting together a reunion tour…complete with all three members. Just a week ago, Dr. Dre provided us with a mind-blowing, life-like hologram of Tupac at Coachella and the surviving members of TLC plan on giving Left-Eye similar treatment. According to TMZ, the group plans on having a big screen projection of Left-Eye during the tour; working all her vocals into their performances. So far the group has five dates booked and plan on adding more, however no concrete dates are known as of now. I personally don’t like making money off the dead, but I guess if it makes the fans happy.

Long-time Kanye West collaborator and Grammy-award winning artist Q-Tip has officially signed with Ye’s label. Recently, YMCMB has made a splash (if you want to call it that) with signings of…seasoned…artists and it looks like G.O.O.D. Music looks to add on to their roster as well. Q-Tip’s fourth solo album The Last Zulu will be put out under the label sometime this year. Also with the signing, it might be suggested that we will get a few verses or some production from Tip on the G.O.O.D. Music group album, but that’s only speculation.

This morning I awoke to devastating news; my childhood hero Chipper Jones announced that this would be his final season in the Major Leagues. It is getting to the point where my generation’s most iconic players are reaching the late stages of their careers, slowly drifting into the front offices of the teams they became famous on. Chipper is one of the few remaining star players from the Steroid Era whose reputation has been left unscarred, with an over .300 career batting average, a 1999 NL MVP award, one of the sweetest switch hitting strokes of all-time, and no steroid allegations.
