WHA? WHAT HAPPENED?

We all know that Drake and Wayne were first to market with their collabo idea! So why are they letting Watch The Throne stop them from doing their anticipated collaboration album? When Drake talked to XXL, he revealed just that. SMH.

“Me and Wayne scrapped the idea of a collaboration album. We just agreed that it would be looked upon as…It would be sort of this competition [with Watch The Throne]. I feel like it would get caught in this whirlwind of hype. [Wayne] agreed. We just said, ‘If we do it, we’ll do it down the line. But right now is not the time.’”

Fellas, take it from me. Nobody would see yall as biting off Jay and Ye. Plus, all that stuff yall was talking on “I’m Good” should make you more amped to get at them. 🙂

(AllHipHop News) Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller is expected to be the first rapper since Snoop Dogg affiliates Tha Dogg Pound to hit the top of the charts as an independent artist.

The rapper’s Blue Slide Park, which came out Tuesday, should top the charts when the numbers come in next week.

The Rostrum Records album is distributed by INgrooves through Fontana Distribution.

Tha Dogg Pound and Mac Miller are the only two rap acts to have achieved such a feat, without the muscle of a major. Ironically, Tha Dogg Pound’s Dogg Food came out almost 16 years to the day, on Nov. 18, 1995 and sold about 278,000 sold according to Billboard magazine. Dogg Food was released via Death Row/Interscope, and independently distributed by Priority.
