A not-really-hip-hop-homegirl of mine: “Doesn’t sound like this song is ready, either.” Lol (the song rocks to me, by the way).

Tech N9ne Speaks On Lil’ Wayne, Possible Collaboration
I think that would be pretty ill. This was probably kicked off from what Wayne said during his interview with Funk Flex. From VIBE (propr to Rap Radar):
“I’m still surprised by what Wayne said—we’ve never meet him, so for him to acknowledge me was a shock,You think people of a certain stature don’t know about you. I just wonder what songs he listens to. His people have been contacting us already, so I’m anxious to see what he sends me. I’m hearing his camp is all ready to send over some music. And I’ll be in New York soon so hopefully I can visit him before he gets out.â€
“I just want to thank Wayne for even mentioning me. I’ve been following his career since he started. Just watching him evolve—he was always clever with the rhymes. My own quest was always to get my music out to everybody in world and working with Wayne is truly a way to get it out there.â€

Black EL & Durkin’s 100 Miles Video Release Party
I think I may have mentioned this before on Twitter but I have noticed a new trend: rappers throwing release parties for just about everything. First or new single? Release party. New video? Pop the bottles. Did a remix? Major event. This is my question: who is deciding that these are good ideas? Do one of the aforementioned milestones mean success now or are we just finding any reason to party, instead of…you know…getting back to your craft to continue to reach success? I’m just sayin…the game isn’t the same anymore. Get back to work or fall by the wayside…
