New Joints: 2010

Drake feat. Jay-Z - Light Up

Light Up is a new track on the debut album Thank Me Later from Drake. It features Jay-Z as a special appearance. I'm feeling it but Drake needs to switch it up a little he sounds like a Canadian Clone of Wayne. Glad he made the track "Find Your Love" as it switches it up a bit. Nonetheless joint is still nice.

Limewire vs RIAA: KO in the 12th Round

And the shit has just officially hit the fan.

After a long court battle between the RIAA and downloading site Limewire, one of the worlds biggest file sharing companies has just been put in its place. U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood, for the Southern District of New York, on Tuesday granted summary judgment in favor of the music industry’s claims that Lime Group, parent of LimeWire software maker Lime Wire, and founder Mark Gorton committed copyright infringement, engaged in unfair competition, and induced copyright infringement.

"The evidence demonstrates that [Lime Wire] optimized LimeWire’s features to ensure that users can download digital recordings, the majority of which are protected by copyright," Wood said in her 59-page decision. "And that [Lime Wire] assisted users in committing infringement."

The court decision could represent the biggest threat to online file sharing in years. According to a survey by the NPD Group, LimeWire users account for 58 percent of the people who said they downloaded music from a peer-to-peer service last year. At CNET’s Download.com, the LimeWire software has been downloaded more than 200 million times. In the last week along, the software was downloaded nearly 340,000 times.

The RIAA has said it is entitled to the maximum statutory damages, which is $150,000 for each registered work that was infringed. The number of infringing works they could try to claim is likely in the millions.

Well, it was a fun ride while it lasted.

Rick Ross Denies L.A. Robbery Reports

Rapper Rick Ross has responded to reports that he was robbed of a valuable chain earlier this week in California.

In an interview with SpliffTv, Rick Ross addressed the rumors, while announcing the release of a new mixtape/EP titled Albert Anastasia with DJ Smallz, which will drop prior to the release of his official album Teflon Don.

“I wasn’t in LA two days ago. I got a call saying I was in LA,” Ross stated. “Two fake Twitter gangsters said they robbed me for a chain. There’s too many real ni**as in LA I see yall, to even think about letting the fake Twitter thugs f**k the real ni**s up.”

Ross’ new mixtape Albert Anastasia is named after Albert “The Mad Hatter” Anastasia, a ruthless Italian Mafia leader who ruled New York’s Gambino family from 1951-1957.

Additionally Anastasia headed up the notorious Murder Inc. stable of mob killers before he himself was infamously murdered while getting a shave in barber’s chair.

Ross revealed that he could possibly be hitting the road to promote Teflon Don with Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is slated to release his upcoming album Last Train to Paris on June 22nd.

“We cooking up the big layout now for the albums. Last Train to Paris will be in stores soon, Teflon Don will be in stores too, so we are just cooking up the big layout. We are just going to do what we do and make sure fans know its in the streets.”

According to Ross, Albert Anastasia will be released over Memorial Day Weekend.

“Its most definitely a dope mixtape. It’s most definitely going to have all new music on there. I been releasing a few freestyles just preppin this shit. It’s definitely going to be a classic mixtape. Just to feed the real ni**as in the streets before I give them this Teflon Don.”

Teflon Don is due in stores June 29th.
