Have niggas heard the Drake x Dream song off Thank Me Later yet?

I just heard this shit… I gotta say, between this, and Fireworks, I’m officially re-hyped for Thank Me Later. I saw Drake feat The Dream, and when I downloaded it, I had a thought. Drake could either make the typical Rapper feat RnB Nigga track, that Dream is OK for (I like the shit he did with Snoop), or he could make something really slow and moody, that would go against the image he’s tried to conjure up since getting into the whole YMCMB mix.

He went with the slow, moody shit and I like it. On the low, I really fuck with Dream’s first two albums, so I was kinda excited to see the collab happen, it wasn’t quite as good as I hoped, but I fuck with it.

were you talking about this joint? if so, i agree wholeheartedly. shit like this is why so far gone still gets burn from me.

lol you realize when diddy’s baby mom’s took him to court she got (at the time) the largest child support payments on record, right?

wait wocka flocka is from queens, what?

LOL, of course man ish was on the ny post but the difference is that Kim Porter diserves her money. We know Diddy was knocking down chicks in front of her…lol. plus she has how many kids from diddy? Kelis getting all this cash for a baby?

Also:

Damn that 400 bars, shit is dope as hell. I wish Game could just stay gangsta wit it and not 4get that he dissed a guy…lol. I just love how he goes out of his way to diss 50…lol

**“Week as fucc. Homie fell off. ?I suck dick? is still his best joint to date”

Taken from that page with the Drake/Dream song on it.

I don’t think the song is bad. I don’t love it, but that quote has me dying over here.**

One of the dudes who runs Nah Right said that the version of “Shut It Down” that’s out now is missing a verse from Dream, so the song is actually a bit longer.

[HAV]

It’s missing a Drake verse… not a Dream verse. And, honestly… I don’t want any rapping on it. We’ll see though.

For real? Because this is the twitter post about it and KLEPONE said that Dream talked about it on UStream.

[HAV]

I heard Drake’s was missing. Supposed to be rapping a verse. I don’t know.

Dream already dominates the song. You hardly even hear Drake after the first minute and a half. I can’t imagine this nigga has another verse.

Then again… Dream’s first “verse” is like 2 lines. So maybe most of his first verse did get cut.

she only has 1 kid from diddy and then another by al b. sure that diddy raised. diddy never married the broad anyway and they’ve been on/off forver (see: j-lo), nas married kelis and then got caught cheating on her while she was pregnant. kim porter hasn’t “earned” anything.

Diddy Reportedly New Manager Of Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross

Diddy may be busy trying to get his oft-delayed Dirty Money project, “Last Train To Paris,” off the ground, but that hasn’t stopped the ambitious mogul from making other prominent career moves. A source close to the entrepreneur/rapper has confirmed to Billboard.com that Diddy is not only co-managing Lil Wayne protg Nicki Minaj but also Rick Ross.

Last week, just two days after dropping out of Rihanna’s “Last Girl On Earth Tour,” Nicki Minaj’s former manager, Debbie Antney – who also managed Gucci Mane and is mother to up-and-coming rapper Waka Flocka Flame – sent a statement confirming Minaj had fired her.

“I received a letter, which was [a] suspension. The next letter that came in was a cease and desist in doing all business with Nicki Minaj from Nicki’s attorney,” she explained. “I love Nicki. I wish her the most success. It’s not about the music, she’s like one of my children… I wish her no harm, only much success.”

While hip-hop bloggers have speculated the firing was due to mismanagement on Antney’s part which consequently caused Minaj to drop out of the tour, Antney revealed to Billboard.com almost a month ago – before the tour was announced – that she no longer was working with Minaj “I’m not gonna sit here and drop a bunch of bombs on her now, even though she really, really disappointed me. Now Nicki did fire me. She did,” Antney said.

According to our source, Minaj subsequently went on to seek management from Troy Carter, Lady Gaga’s manager. Although some websites claim to have confirmed that Carter is co-managing Minaj with Diddy, our source says it isn’t the case and that Gaga pumped the breaks on the deal, threatening to find another manager if Carter took on Minaj as well. When that happened, Carter stepped back and Diddy stepped in, asking one of his own managers, James Cruz, to co-manage Minaj with him instead.

While Diddy’s new connection with Nicki Minaj seems to have come out of left field, it comes as no surprise that he is also working closely with Rick Ross. The two have been appearing together often lately, including on the remix to Waka Flocka’s “O Lets Do It” track. Diddy has also praised Ross’ rapping skills in public as of late, comparing him to the late Notorious B.I.G. “Big shout out to my brother Diddy. We have a big announcement to make real soon, so stay tuned for that,” Ross said on the airwaves during an interview with Power 105.1 DJ Envy earlier this week, alluding to an official announcement of the business move coming soon.

The partnership between the two is poised to go a step further as well; Ross is also rumored to be extensively contributing to the writing of Diddy’s upcoming album.

Def Jam, Interscope and Universal Motown – the labels that Ross, Diddy and Minaj are signed to – could not be reached for comment at press time.

maybe…coke sounds appropriate due to the content of the song…just weird he named fergie.

[debs]

i think he had a line before (or it coulda been wayne or someone else) that was talking about his white car being “fergalicious.”

lol @ her being used as references to anything white just because she’s white. argh.

lol shes like the 5th most famous white singer…if we can call her that right now.

[HAV]

She’s not the only one.

Cam used Brooke Shields (which was actually a line with context, thanks to Eddie Murphy)

I think Juelz used Christina Aguillera before. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Jessica Simpson… otheres.

I don’t know… rappers are dumbfucks.
