Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 16, 2009 at 3:18pm

Afeni Shakur has confirmed the participation of more celebrities for today’s (June 16) Atlanta celebration of her son’s birthday. The idea for the event originated with co-host Mike Epps, who worked hard to fit in the festivities with his national comedy tour commitment, and two new movies in “Next Day Air” and “Janky Promoters.” The benefit concert will take place in the Tupac Amaru Center for the Arts, and feature appearances from Big Boi, Dungeon Family, Playas Circle, Bun B, Lil Scrappy, Young LA, B.o.B., and Eightball and MJG. Along with Mike Epps, hosting duties will be handled by Dead Prez member M-1. While attending the concert, first-time visitors to the Stone Mountain facility can experience the rotating exhibits, gift shop, 6-acre Peace Garden, and purchase Tupac memorabilia. Tickets for the event are $25, and can be purchased at www.tasf.org, or the Tupaac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts box office, located on 5616 Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain, GA. All proceeds from the fundraising concert will go to the Tupac Amaru Center for the Arts. In the thirteen years since his death, Tupac has become an iconic figure whose influence has been studied on musical, educational, and social levels. Today, Tupac Amaru Shakur would have celebrated his 38th birthday.

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 5, 2009 at 2:23pm

A really big rap tour is exactly what the game needs right now. A rep for Soulja Boy Tell'em told MTV News that the rapper will be joining Lil Wayne on tour this summer, along with Young Jeezy and Wayne's fast-rising protégé Drake. Sources in Wayne's camp told MTV News they are confident that a tour with at least some of the four players will happen. In May, Drake told MuchMusic about a similar tour that, at the time, was supposed to include Jay-Z. "God willing, if everything goes according to plan and everybody's schedule is in place, then I will be on tour with some amazing people," Drake said. "One of them being Jay-Z, one of them being Lil Wayne, one of them being Young Jeezy and one of them being me." Jay has lined up a tour this summer, with Ciara opening up some dates, that kicks off in Las Vegas on July 3. Thursday night from the Los Angeles Lakers game, Soulja Boy Tell'em announced the tour on Twitter. "TSA (Twitter Service Announcement) — I'm going on Tour with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy & Drake this summer! Get ya tickets ASAP!!!!" he Tweeted. Dates for the tour are still being locked down. Drake has been working on Rihanna's next album as well as his proper debut album. Soulja Boy has been in the lab recording, as has Young Jeezy. Wayne told us on Sunday that his long-awaited Rebirth album is done. It's now scheduled for an August 18 release, although a new single has not been announced. "I wanted to grow, and show my growth as well," Wayne said after the MTV Movie Awards. "It's a difference from when you go in a room and come out and you're better and everyone says, 'How did you do that?' So with this album, I wanted everyone to see my growing pains." Wayne recently wrapped up his I Am Music Tour with T-Pain, Gym Class Heroes, Gorilla Zoe, Keyshia Cole and others.

T.I.'s Girl, Lil Wayne's Ex Star In 'Tiny & Toya' Reality Show

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 29, 2009 at 5:26am

Former Xscape singer Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and Lil’ Wayne’s ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Carter are set to star in a new BET reality series, the network announced this week. Tiny and Toya will chronicle the two women defining their purpose and building a brighter future for themselves. Based in Atlanta, the new show follows the lives of these two young women, who in addition to co-parenting two of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars, also happen to be best friends. Tiny and Toya will follow the two as they strive “to find inner-strength, peace and purpose,” a description of the show says. Both women are also seeking to be defined outside of the shadow of the men in their lives. Despite her success with 90s R&B group Xscape and being a Grammy and ASCAP Award winning songwriter, Tiny is best known for her ongoing long-term relationship with rapper T.I. The two have two sons together, the oldest of which is now four. The couple made headlines yesterday (May 27) when, on the day after T.I. started his jail sentence on federal gun charges, a source close to the family announced that they were in fact married. However, today (May 28), T.I.’s publicist Sydney Margetson dismissed the reports as “absolutely not true.” Toya Carter is the mother of Lil’ Wayne’s eldest Reginae Carter. Five years after the birth of their daughter, Wayne and Toya got married on Valentine’s Day 2004. However, they divorced two years later. A year later, in 2007, Toya made headlines when she spoke to Vibe Magazine about the relationship after her ex had denied in interviews that they were ever in love. The first Tiny and Toya 30-minute episode will debut at 10pm on June 30.
