Charlamagne Tha God discusses his confrontation with Birdman's on a recent podcast of The Brilliants Idiots.
Listen as he breaks down why you shouldn't hire rent-a-goons, says Birdman blew a golden opportunity to clear up common misconceptions about himself and wonders if Eminem's "Lose Yourself" was to blame for the Cash Money Records co-owner's aggression.
"This is no lie, Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' was playing," Charlamagne said. "I don't know where it was coming from. I don't know if it was on the radio. I don't know if it was on his headphones. I don't know what it was, but Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' was playing. I'm dead-ass serious. I'm not making this up. Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' was playing. He walks in, he goes, 'Y'all ready?' And then that's what y'all saw."

Drake sat down with Beats 1's Zane Lowe on Thursday, April 28, to cover a wide range of topics as the clock ticked down to the release of his latest album, "Views."
The OVO Sound boss talked about not liking a studio full of people while he's recording, how he and his go-to producer Noah "40" Shebib approach making albums, working with Future on "What a Time to Be Alive," upcoming "Summer Sixteen Tour," delivering his highest level of vocal performance on "Views," the Lil Wayne and Birdman situation, admits he doesn't talk to Nicki Minaj anymore because of the Meek Mill beef and explains how Jay Z ended up on "Pop Style" and much more.
On the Birdman and Lil Wayne conflict
I’m a person that’s very grateful for all the names that you mention, specifically Birdman and Wayne. It's tough. To be honest with you it's tough to watch. I have a mutual respect for both guys. I pray that it gets worked out and we'll find an amicable place again ,,, one day.
On Nicki Minaj:
I don’t really talk to Nicki. Another person I have a lot of love for and a lot of respect. Not only for our past and how much work and time we've put it in, but even with the way she dealt with the situation at hand. I understand what love is. And I understand a personal situation. She dealt with me how I would expect her to -- with class and I could only ever do the same.
On collaborating with Kanye West and Jay Z on "Pop Style"
Jay didn’t really do a verse. I was just trying to get 'Ye on it first. And 'Ye just sent it to me like that. Like, 'Yo, Jay just kinda did my first few lines for me and he was just here.' And that’s how we flexed it ... It didn’t exactly play out how I would have wanted it to. I've expressed my admiration for Jay countless times. That'll never change. Sometimes we just fall on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to the rap world. It’s always mutual respect but sometimes it has to be from afar, due to other situations that really don't have anything to do with me or him.

With Drake fans anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new album Views, the announcement of its official track listing via the artist’s Twitter account brought that anticipation to a fever pitch.
With the album due to premiere today via Apple’s Beats 1 program, it will assuredly exist as an Apple Music / iTunes exclusive for at least some period of time. Such was this case with last year’s Future collaboration What A Time To Be Alive, which stayed on the company’s proprietary streaming and download services for a full week before spreading to Spotify, Amazon, and other platforms.
Regardless of platform exclusivity or pricing decisions, the Views track list reveals a shrewd release strategy that guarantees it will be one of his most successful albums to date.
This past February, the Recording Industry Association of America announced changes to the methodology behind gold, platinum, multi-platinum, and diamond award certifications for albums. The new rules give streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify a significant role in the determination of an album’s sales performance, with 1,500 on-demand song streams in the United States holding the same value as 10 individual track sales or 1 full album sale. (Streams and sales that occur outside of the United States are not factored into RIAA certification.) The benefits for rap albums came swiftly, with artists like Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, and Nicki Minaj earning fresh certifications in the first two weeks.
For an artist like Drake, for whom a new song release can generate millions of streams per day, the revised RIAA model assures him that Views will quickly achieve a platinum plaque. Using the RIAA’s model, 1,500,000 streams of an individual Drake song in the United States is the equivalent of 1,000 actual album sales. At 20 tracks long, that adds up to some potentially huge numbers for Views that would not have been factored into the award certification math prior to this year.
Views‘ tracklisting truly games the revised RIAA gold and platinum system by exploiting how the organization now factors in the streaming performance of pre-release songs following an album’s release. On just Spotify alone, recently released singles “One Dance” and “Pop Style” have amassed 67 million and 18 million global plays, respectively. Upon Views‘ release, any of those plays that occurred in the United States will apply not only to those songs’ qualifications towards RIAA digital single certifications, but towards the album certification as well. By the RIAA’s new methodology, that amounts to potentially tens of thousands of applicable and attributable sales the second Views drops, though notably it won’t factor into its placement on Billboard’s album charts.
Furthermore, the inclusion of 2015 single “Hotline Bling” as a bonus track could send Views‘ RIAA numbers skyrocketing. With well over 400 million Spotify streams worldwide and close to 700 million official YouTube plays globally on Drake’s Vevo channel, this aging hit could be the infusion that sends Views well on its way to multi-platinum status before year’s end.
The Views track listing is as follows:
1. Keep the Family Close
2. 9
3. U With Me?
4. Feel No Ways
5. Hype
6. Weston Road Flows
7. Redemption
8. With You ft. PARTYNEXTDOOR
9. Faithful ft. Pimp C & dvsn
10. Still Here
11. Controlla
12. One Dance ft. Wizkid and Kyla
13. Grammys ft. Future
14. Childs Play
15. Pop Style
16. Too Good ft. Rihanna
17. Summers Over Interlude
18. Fire & Desire
19. Views
20. Hotline Bling

Whoooooooooooooooooooo Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddd!!
Whoo Kid was stopped by police in downtown Manhattan Tuesday, April 26, when he was spotted driving around in his Escalade at 1:30 in the morning with the headlights off.
When cops ran his information through the system they found out the popular DJ had a warrant from 2014, for failing to show up in court. His drivers license had also been revoked, so he got hauled off to jail.
Whoo Kid paid a fine and was out back on the streets the same day. He says he's going to be keeping a low profile across the border or a minute or 2.
This latest run-in with NYPD is reminiscent of Whoo Kid's 2013 arrest outside of G-Unit headquarters for 9 license suspensions.
In an interview with Sam Roberts following his 2013 arrest the Turn Up God was asked how he ended up with 9 suspensions.
"13 years with no license. They said I was texting. Whatever ... I think somebody was calling me from BET, another black thing," he joked. "I didn't have no I.D. I don't have a license. When you get pulled over in New Jersey they let niggas go. New York, you get locked up. You better have I.D. or money or something."
