The Great Adele Counterfeit Ticket Saga – TBD.com
Didn’t even know Adele was here (said, I know), but I found this story interesting…..you can read the full story at TBD.com (by Sarah Godfrey).
Last night, the British soul singer Adele played the 9:30 Club, but not everyone with tickets got to hear her amazing voice. Some Adele fans showed up at the club last night and quickly learned that their tickets were counterfeit.
“I immediately knew something was wrong when I saw the line around the corner and down the block,” says one man (he asked that his name not be used) who purchased fake tickets from a seller calling himself “Alexis” on Craigslist. “Then I noticed they had set up a ticket checkpoint at the corner instead of at the door. The guy looked at my ticket, immediately asked me where I bought it, then put it in his pocket and asked me to step to the side while he checked it out. There were about eight other people who were asked to step to the side, too.”
At the end of the night, according to accounts from people who were at the club, somewhere between 15 and 30 people presented fake tickets.

Rap-Up Gives The Scoop On Lil’ Wayne’s MTV Unplugged Taping
This doesn’t really look like the “intimate” setting we’ve come to expect from that series at all. Time will tell, though.
Lil Wayne followed hip-hop greats like Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill, becoming the latest artist to go “Unplugged†for MTV. The rap kingpin taped his intimate special of the groundbreaking series before a live audience at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif., on Thursday (May 12), performing stripped-down versions of his Cash Money classics.

The New Orleans native ventured into holy hip-hop territory with an acoustic cover of Tupac Shakur’s “Hail Mary,†his answer to those who keep asking about his recent jail experience.
After performing more current hits including “Drop the World†and the chart-topping “Lollipop,†he debuted a new song from Tha Carter IV called “Nightmares of the Bottom,†part of which he has previewed on his “I Am Still Music†tour. “I’m sleeping at the top, nightmares of the bottom/ Everybody want to be fly till you swat them,†rapped Tunechi.
The memorable evening came to a close with a rousing rendition of “6 Foot 7 Foot,†with Young Money’s rising star Cory Gunz storming the stage to spit his rapid-fire verse alongside his mentor.

Pretty rough people here. A lot of rats here, snitches.
“[I’m here] ’cause of the songs I made, before I was indicted, about the police in Baton Rouge and what’s going on here. There’s a lot with our record label, that the system don’t like… They took my hard drive out of my house after I got arrested. I have albums for days in there. They still haven’t returned it. They’ve had it for damn near a year now. I need that music.â€
