They can afford an $8 million car but won’t pay their bills. Allegedly, Cash Money Young Money didn’t compensate hit producer Bangladesh - again. His most recent work for them was on Lil’ Wayne’s new single “6 Foot 7 Foot.” Prior to this, Bangladesh made the same allegations about Weezy’s “A Milli’,” from 2008’s Tha Carter III.
The popular producer spoke with MTV News about the situation:
“I f— with Wayne, man; I had the opportunity to give him more music. It’s just hard to do. It’s just hard to keep working for free.”
To cover his tracks, Bangladesh came up with a new plan – that obviously didn’t work.

Tyler, the Creator has released “Tron Cat” from his Goblin album due out on May 10th. Unless you take refuge below a rock, you’re more than aware that the roach handler and his Odd Future miscreants have developed a cult following. So, it’s expected that his lyric, “Rape a pregnant b-tch and tell my friends I had a threesome,” will be the gospel for them, but hopefully some anti rape groupchimes in and rape his career. Given his puerile demeanor, I doubt he’d apologize (and if he does it won’t be genuine) or show some sort of regret for the line. Most rappers aren’t held accountable for what they say anyway, and consumers support who they want regardless of how irresponsible the seller is (Bush was elected not once, but twice). Lyrics like these are commonly associated with the culture and is one of the main reasons why negative stereotypes continue to cloud people’s perception of black men, but I digress. Read More →
Cory Gunz premiered his new reality show Son of a Gun Thursday night. In case you didn’t know, media mogul Nick Cannon is producing the show.
In the episode, Cory is torn between signing with Lil’ Wayne’s imprint, Young Money Entertainment (via Cash Money/Universal Records) and Atlantic Records, with the help of Nick Cannon. As we know, he signed with Young Money - but watch the episode to see how he improperly handles business. Nick obviously understands the “it’s not personal, it’s just business” quote - had I been in Nick’s seat, I wouldn’t have offered Cory any type of further assistance. (Personally, I don’t like how you do business.) Read More →
