T-PAIN & LIL WAYNE JOINT ALBUM


In a recent interview, T-Pain revealed that there might be a T-Pain & Lil Wayne joint album coming in the future. T-Pain said “I’ve been doing an album with Lil Wayne. It’s called T-Wayne: The Project.”
Due to their demanding schedule, T-Pain said they have not been in studio together but they have exchanged songs via email.
T-Pain also mentioned a possibility of two T-Wayne records. One for the street and one for the stores.
The rapper/singer said “It’s basically just going to be an array of things, just a visual love. The two artists you’ve seen collaborate with everyone except each other. When you see us together, it’s crazy right now. We already have what we’ve done. We’re gonna keep going till they tell us to stop. We might even put out a mixtape. We’ve got so many songs that we just might do a T-Wayne mixtape too.”
T-Pain’s current single “Can’t Believe It” features Lil Wayne from his upcoming album Thr33 Ringz.

THE GAME BEGS FOR BEEF WITH JAY-Z


For the past few years beef between Hip Hop heavyweight Jay-Z and Game has been hovering but not to the point of ever boiling into a full blown feud. Even after Jay-Z denounced the rumors, Game came right back with even more verbal taunts including publicly saying "Memph Bleek can suck my d*ck /Beanie Sigel can suck my d*ck/Jay-Z can suck my d*ck/Roc-A-Fella can suck my d*ck." Now Game is back at it again years later.

The next chapter in this soap opera begins as Game talks to 104.7s Chino today. When asked about how Jay-Z supposedly said he wasn't going to respond to Game's taunts and would rather "Just let him commit suicide," Game responded.

"I'm too disrespectful for Jay-Z, I go to hard. His beef is mediocre beef, it's more swag and less hardcore. Me, I go in on your grandma, your kids and your girl….it will get ugly and I don't mind. I have a whole coast to back me. My coast will turn their backs on whoever I turn my back on. So basically, let me commit suicide because I'm the only cat to commit suicide and resurrect every time. So for Jay to say that about me, that's cool man because he's Jay-Z and I'm just lil ol' Game. But if you fu*k with me I'll turn to a beast, and ill rip ya head off..bust ya lips," Game said.

"I can be a fan of Jay and still rip him limb from limb lyrically and still be a fan. After I finish him off, I'm still going to listen to Reasonable Doubt afterwards. I'll kiss Jay goodbye with his own lips. I'm going to make him mad enough to where he has to say something. Jay imma make you so mad you gonna have to diss me...[laughs] I need him to do it, I got an album coming out; help me."

With the resolution to make Jay respond to him, could th biggest beef of the year
be on the horizon? DX will keep you updated as the story unfolds.

JAY-Z SELLING 40/40 CLUB


Yesterday (August 12) rumors were flying about the possibility of Jay-Z losing ownership of his 40/40 club in Las Vegas. We learned that although there is a grain of truth to the story, things aren't quite what they seemed.

The NY Post's Page Six is reporting that Jay is actually in talks with Las Vegas Sands Corp., the owners of the Venetian and the Palazzo, to sell them a 50% stake in his club for a whopping $44 million.

"That will make the 40/40 club in Vegas the largest sports booking operation," an alleged insider told Page Six. "People can gamble both at the tables and on games. The Sands will also have the right to open 40/40 clubs in London and across Europe."

At press time, a rep for 40/40 didn't return calls.
