Yesterday it was announced that Warner Music Group was purchased in an all cash transaction for $3.3 Billion by Russian-born billionaire Len Blavatnik's Access Industries.
Warner is home to Asylum, Warner Brothers, Atlantic and Elektra. With a wide variety of acts like Cher, T.I., Gucce Mane, Green Day, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more.
In addition to acquiring WB's entire catalog of music, Access will also take control of their music publishing business, Warner/Chappell Music Publishing.
"I am excited to extend my longstanding involvement with Warner Music. It is a great company with a strong heritage and home to many exceptional artists. I look forward to working closely with the many talented people within the company," Blavatnik said
Rolling Stone is reporting that Blavatnik next has his sights on EMI. He wants to merge the two companies. By doing so he would be acquiring a catalog "including the music of the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Radiohead, and drive down overall costs for the company."

This will not be the third single off of 'Detox', but it will appear on the album.
J. Cole's time at Roc Nation could be coming to an abrupt close.
HipHopWired is reporting that Jay-Z has told the rapper to deliver the album or get the boot.
Just last week Cole spoke about the album nearing completion.
"I know my fans are frustrated with me, because I won't give a date," Cole said."I only gave a date one time in my career last year, and I smacked myself in the face because it was so unrealistic. Now I say it's coming soon, and it's really true, because we're in the final stages right now."
After two years looks like Hov wants a return on his investment.

The Prodigy vs Capone beef is starting to escalate.
Mike Delorean, a former protege' of Prodigy and 1/2 of the group Bars-N-Hooks joined Capone in throwing shots at P.
Both are heated about being named in Prodigy's new book "My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy." In it Prodigy details many run ins with the law and beefs with other rap crews. P claims Capone snitched on Havoc's brother, Killer Black at a murder trial and that Bars-N-Hooks robbed Havoc.
Capone admits he did take the stand in the Killer Black murder trial, but says he lied to help get Killer exonerated.
"I got caught in a situation, and I gave a false statement [to police]. I lied. Come to find out, the motherf*cking statement came back, they tried to use me as a witness. But I lied. I wasn't Killer's co-defendant, I wasn't there when the crime happened, I aint speak to him after. But I didn't put nothing in there to incriminate nobody. The n*gga you say I snitched on was running in the streets with me. Get your facts right,[My lie] is the only reason he came home," Capone said.
Capone advised 50 Cent to stay clear of this beef.
"50, I am asking you stay of this please, my n*gga. I got love for you, you're from Queens, you're a Queens n*gga like me, but just this is not a situation which - at the end of the day, it's hammer time," Capone said
With threats from Delorean that the goons are looking for him, and his escalating situation with Capone, it looks like it's gonna be a hot summer for Prodigy.

We stress that the blood of the holy warrior sheik, Osama Bin Laden, God bless him, is precious to us and to all Muslims and will not go in vain. We will remain, God willing, a curse chasing the Americans and their agents, following them outside and inside their countries. Soon, God willing, their happiness will turn to sadness, their blood will be mingled with tears.
The statement was signed by Al Qaeda's "general leadership."
Does this put to rest conspiracy theories bin Laden is still alive?
