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.

No iPhone 5 was introduced today. Just an iPhone 4 with a better camera, but don’t worry stock holders, everyone will buy it. For those disappointed with the iPhone 4S, join the club. At least the new Siri voice command software is going to be pretty awesome. Unlike any voice command software to date this one is impressing everyone to the point where it might actually be used. Watch the demo to buy the hype, this is one of the only bright spots from the otherwise disappointing Apple event.

I’m an Apple fanboy. I’ll admit it. iPhone, MBP, basically every generation iPod, Nano’s, Shuffles, MB air, iPad, the fucking Airport. Anyway I basically only trust Incase products to house my shit. My iPhone is my lifeline and Incase protects it. These new Hybrid covers combine both soft and hard materials for perfect protection and feel.
“The soft rubberized top offers cushioning and a secure grip while the hardshell bottom provides durable and dependable protection. “
