Parlaying Rap Music Into Books??: Publishing Firm Launched by Duo Behind Cash Money Records
^Nice hat “other Birdman”….just saying…
I’m not hating, but please dont buy books from these n*ggas… (Even though “Pimp” By Iceberg Slim is one of my favorite books…its the capitalists manifesto)
Go pick up a real book like Frances Cress Welsings “The Isis Papers”
Ronald and Bryan Williams, two entrepreneurial brothers from New Orleans who run the successful music company Cash Money Records Inc., are turning their attention to the book business.
The brothers, whose company counts rapper Lil Wayne among its artists, plan to use the same techniques that helped build their music label to launch their Cash Money Content imprint, including selling books at concerts and holding red-carpet launch parties for authors.
“We think we can do more, market books in a new way,” said Bryan “Birdman” Williams, the younger of the brothers, who is also a rap artist on their independent music label. “We want to put out five or six books a year.”

Bangladesh Speaks On Cash Money Not Paying Royalties For “A Millie” (Video)
Bangladesh vents to Rap-Up on Birdman/Cash Money’s shiesty nature.
Slim & Baby stiffed royalties for all of The Carter 3’s singles: Jim Jonsin (“Lollipop”), Deezle (“Mrs. Officer”), and Play N Skillz (“Got Money”) have all filed lawsuits.
Not only that, they actually have the gall to sue their own producers… for a song that wasn’t even commercially released.

How Bangladesh Really Feels About Lil Wayne
I don’t fuck with him… and you can print that.
This guy just seems to be full of interesting press bits. When VIBE asked him if he’d be reuniting with Lil Wayne on Carter 4, Bangladesh revealed that he had yet to be paid for his work on Carter 3:
“It’s [Wayne and Baby's] responsibility to pay [me] because all the money from album sales goes to Cash Money. I get checks from Sony for Beyoncé, checks from different labels for different artists, it just comes to you. You don’t have to call them, sue them and all that junk. This is what you’re owed.”
He continues, “I don’t really give a fuck about [Wayne]. I can’t give a fuck about somebody that don’t give a fuck about my situation, I have kids. In the hood, people get killed for ten dollars. I couldn’t imagine owing someone hundreds of thousands of dollars and just walking around in front of them. I’m so confident in myself, that I don’t need Lil Wayne. There’s gonna be so many opportunities. I can create a Lil Wayne.”
He went on to say what’s on everyone’s minds.
“This is why Mannie Fresh don’t fuck with [Cash Money] because he never got any royalty money. That’s why Baby can go around flaunting this cash, because that’s everyone else’s money… It’s not even Wayne’s fault. Wayne is not getting money. He is given money, he’s not getting money. If Baby gets a million dollars he’ll buy Wayne a Phantom, but that’s in Cash Money’s name. That 14-bedroom mansion isn’t Wayne shit,” he says. “That’s why he have his own company, because he was trying to leave Cash Money and the only thing that would keep him there was [if they] gave him his own thing. But Baby still controls that. All those Young Money artists don’t even know that they not getting royalty money.”
This isn’t the first time this month we’ve heard about producers seeking out their royalties for Carter 3:
And the beat goes on. According to the New York Post, fellow Carter III producer, Jim Jonsin—responsible for Wayne’s infectious lead single, “Lollipop”—filed a $500,000 lawsuit against Wayne on April 20 for missing royalty payments. In May 2009, Dallas production duo Play-n-Skillz also mentioned to a local radio station that they were yet to reap any monetary benefits from their work on Wayne’s third single featuring, T-Pain, “Got Money.”
So Jim Jonsin asked for 500K and Bangladesh wants another half a mil, and these two guys basically made Carter 3 what it was with “Lollipop” and “A Millie.” Baby doesn’t seem to be paying the people that helped him get all that money, yet he found the time to make corny internet videos like this and this over the weekend.

Prison Guard Fired For “Allegedly” Spying On Lil Wayne
Keep this question in the back of your mind…Why is he so protected?
A former Rikers guard says she was canned after a bad rap – a claim she tried to sneak a peek at Lil Wayne in lockup.
Amelia Negron, who is preparing a federal suit against the city, said union higherups forced her to falsely confess she was trying to star-gawk.
“I don’t even like rap,” said Negron, 33.
“I like rock and alternative music and didn’t know much about him when they said I tried to see him. None of it’s true.”
What really happened March 10 is that she popped her head into the unit where the performer was being held to see a colleague, Negron said.
“The door to the area was unlocked, and so I went in to say hello, and that officer said, ‘Hey, you can’t be here. We’ve got a celeb here.’ I said, ‘Okay, no problem,’ turned around and left,” Negron said.
She said that, after the short exchange, her superiors claimed she was trying to cozy up to Weezy.
“We did nothing wrong, but we were threatened with criminal charges, transfers, suspensions,” she said.

J. Cole Says Drake Compared Him To Nas ‘Too Early’
Last week when upstart rapper J. Cole stepped onstage at New York’s S.O.B.’s, he was welcomed by a packed house. Among those in the audience were fellow MCs Talib Kweli and Asher Roth.
There were even whispers throughout the crowd that the attendance at the event, Hot 97′s Who’s Next series, surpassed the number of people who came out last May to witness Drake’s coming-out party during his headlining spin at the same showcase.
Although Cole, who was signed to Roc Nation by Jay-Z, and Drake have different styles, lately the two artists have been compared to one another with increasing regularity. Drake himself, in an interview in the February/March issue of Complex magazine, called Cole his favorite rapper right now. He compared the North Carolina native to Nas, while claiming he might be the new Jay-Z.

WTF?: Birdman Owns An Oil Company…….& A Platinum football field?
You can read more about the platinum football field here
An oil well tattooed on the shaved head of Bryan “Birdman” Williams and a Web site for a company called Bronald Oil & Gas LLC indicate that two men known for their gushers in rap music are getting into the energy business.
Williams and his brother Ronald “Slim” Williams founded Cash Money Records, the music label behind such artists as Lil’ Wayne. Their foray into energy with Bronald, a name that blends Bryan and Ronald, prompted Houston investment bank Tudor Pickering Holt & Co. to quip that this may be a sign of the end of an oil-market rally.

The Trials of Lil Wayne, the "Hardest-Working Man in Hip-Hop"
Jon Carmanica does one of those “we understand rap music” articles for the NYPost:
For someone who made ubiquity his art form, Lil Wayne has done a stupendous job of disappearing this year. Sure, he was on tour and at the Grammys, but the stream of mixtapes and freestyles on which he built his reputation slowed to a drip. While he was taking a breather, others — in particular, Gucci Mane, and Lil Wayne’s protégé Drake — took his template and ran with it.
On Feb. 9 Lil Wayne will appear in State Supreme Court in Manhattan to be sentenced in connection with a 2007 charge for gun possession. He is expected to begin serving his sentence that same day: an enforced absence instead of the voluntary break he has been taking.
