Ace Hood Hip-Hop Album

Ace Hood’s debut Hip-Hop album entitled “Gutta” releases on Septemeber 23, 2008.  The Miami rapper is currently on blast thanks to the huge success of “Cash Flow”, the Florida anthem that features T-Pain and Rick Ross. “Since I’m amongst the best, expectations are very high. As far as features, the whole movement is behind me. I have Flo-Rida, Tricky Daddy, Rick Ross, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Akon, Cool & Dre, DJ Nasty and we have more to come because it’s not even done,” adds Ace.

Like every new artist, Ace Hood found himself pushing his product at his city’s local hip hop radio station when DJ Khaled, who plays as a regular DJ on the air at 99 Jamz in Miami, Florida, approached him.  Ace had the complete package, and just couldn’t resist in reaching out to the young musician.  “Me and Khaled hooked up through 99 Jamz.  I presented him with my material: a bio, my cd; and based on his first impression of me, he loved what he saw. He heard the music, called my manager back at 11:30 p.m. that same night saying how he loved my stuff,” Ace said.

Lil Wayne Album Sets New Record

June 18, 2008 By Hip-Hop 12,234 Comments

Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III sold 1.01 million copies last week, the first album to top the million mark in a week since 50 Cent’s The Massacre in 2005.

Lil Wayne \"Tha Carter III\"“He has figured out what the record industry is struggling with,” says Vibe editor in chief Danyel Smith. “Lil Wayne has been giving away songs for the last two years,” expanding his audience in the process.

“This whole album leaked two weeks before it came out, and people still bought it like crazy.”

Signs abounded that the New Orleans rapper was about to break big. Last week, the album sold 423,000 copies its first day. Hit single Lollipop has sold 2.14 million downloads and is the year’s top-selling ringtone at nearly 2 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Lil Wayne Lyrics Speak to All

June 15, 2008 By Hip-Hop 36,080 Comments

Some rappers aspire to keep it real. Lil Wayne, it seems, aims to keep it surreal.

The New Orleans rapper opens his extreme right and extreme left new album, “Tha Carter III,” with a manifesto about the deep divide that everyone knows separates us but yet never speaks or writes or reports about it.

As with many Lil Wayne songs, “3Peat” isn’t really about something specific. Instead, it’s a wild, winding showcase for Wayne’s spontaneous non sequiturs that make up his life. How does one explain growing up in the projects of Louisiana, having to sell drugs to eat and cuttin freestyles on answering machines at age 14.

Lil Wayne is only 25 years old and has become the biggest entertainer in the United States of America in terms of searches, records and mixtapes released not to mention the biggest album of 2008.

Over strings and synths and a booming drum track, the king of meandering metaphors rattles off a string of free-form lyrics about shooting grandmothers; babies being kidnapped; his own greatness; a near-death experience; Viagra; Adam Sandler; the new house he bought for his mother; ESPN; and (again) his greatness.

“I know what you watchin: Me !” he boasts in that distinctive raspy croak. “You watch me, you watch me/’Cause I be Weezy/Must-see TV.”

As an album-opener, it’s completely bizarre. It’s also utterly compelling, which more or less sums up Lil Wayne’s appeal.

In an interview with Blender, Wayne revealed that one of his favorite bands growing up was Nirvana, including their song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
