March 14, 2012 First! Only four artists have sent 10 or more albums to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. The Beatles had 19 No. 1 albums, Jay-Z has had 12, and now Bruce Springsteen is tied for third place with Elvis at 10 apiece. First-week sales of 196,000 for his Wrecking Ball were enough, just barely, to keep Adele's 21 from matching Prince & the Revolution's Purple Rain soundtrack with 24 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1.

March 13, 2012 Last week, we learned Lil Wayne was skating down to SXSW this year, but nobody would confirm whether he was playing a show. But in very unsurprisingly news, today his label announced YMCMB will host a "takeover" this Thursday night (March 15) in Austin. Weezy will headline, while Busta Rhymes, Mystikal, Lil Chuckee, Cory Gunz, and Cash Money CEO Birdman will also take the stage at Austin Music Hall. …

March 12, 2012 Mystikal needs to take his own advice. The New Orleans party-starter's rambunctious rasp of a voice remains every bit the sonic treat it once was, and "Original," his debut single for one-time rivals Cash Money Records, is mildly entertaining club fare, if a bit weighed down by label boss Birdman's characteristically sleepy verse and Lil Wayne's so-so rock'n'roll self-mythologizing. …

March 9, 2012 And the rappers keep rolling out: Following similar announcements from Jay-Z and 50 Cent, Lil Wayne has announced that he, too, will be gracing the fine folk in Austin, Texas, next week via Mountain Dew, with whom he just signed a massive branding deal.
Weezy will be going south to make myriad announcements about the campaign, DEWeezy, which includes the forthcoming construction of a skate park in New Orleans. …

March 9, 2012 Sometimes it's nice to think about professional musicians as dedicated artistes regaling us with their melodies for the sheer joy of musical performance. Then the illusion-crushing annual Billboard Money Makers list drops and fans everywhere get to see how filthy rich even the most adorable of their favorite artists really are. …

March 8, 2012 Now that Limp Bizkit have signed to Cash Money, there's not much they can do to shock us anymore. Still, frontman Fred Durst did his darnedest the other day when he spoke to Billboard about the band's upcoming plans. Granted, he's already put himself through a lot recently, but with quotes like these (and karaoke nights like these), he's not making it easy for us to let him off the hook:

March 2, 2012 "Our next guest is one of the most popular rappers in the world," Jimmy Kimmell announced last night on his ABC show. And then he welcomed to the stage a purple-shirted audience member wearing another audience member's baseball cap and, of course, a dreadlock wig. …

February 24, 2012 Last night, Lil Wayne called in to Lenny Green's old-school soul radio show Kissing in the Dark, on New York's 98.7 KissFM, and — speaking of old-school soul! — revealed Limp Bizkit has signed to Cash Money Records. In a string of tweets, frontman Fred Durst confirmed the '90s nu-metal moshers have signed to the label that's home to Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and other hip-hop stars. …

February 23, 2012 Nicki Minaj has just dropped the title track for her forthcoming (April 3, we're told) follow-up to Pink Friday, Roman Reloaded, and while the Lil Wayne-assisted song isn't all we'd hoped for, it's not the worst thing that could've happened to the album.

"Roman Reloaded" isn't the catchiest, radio-friendliest track Nicki's dropped of late by a long shot, considering "Starships" and "Young For …
