The MoMo Show

This is the first track (in the style of a) Rock-Ballad from rapper Lil Wayne. This will act as the anthem to Lil Wayne‘s album “Rebirth” the week ending January 16, 2010, selling 162,526 downloads and debuting at #18, and now is climbing the charts again. Despite a generally negative reception for “Rebirth“, ”Drop the World” received reviews that were more positive. “Drop the World” was the most anticipated song from the album, partly because it features Eminem. With all respect, i’m slightly confused over this EP – Lil Wayne‘s style of rap has changed which is demonstrated through the album.

In addition rumours are that Lil Wayne is working on his new album “Tha Carter IV” which will be album number eight for the rapper. So far what we’ve been told is that this album will have no roots of previous rap-rock album “Rebirth“, however this album will be featured around the Young Money family. In other news it’s been confirmed that Cash Money Records will be doing a world tour with all acts, not that’s something i’m looking forward to.

With Nicki Minaj enjoying the life of being Cash Money’s biggest selling female artist, may have also been given another unexpected present. Label co-worker and now rumoured fiancée Drake (who is currently working on his next LP) along side with Nicki Minaj featured on the cover of XXL Magazine for this month’s edition.

It’s been clear that the two have had something going on, appearing together at GQ’s Man of the Year after party and in their recent cameo appearance in the #1 R&B single “BedRock” with Young Money. Close sources confirmed that Drake who is currently in New York visited an exclusive jeweller and purchased (price to be confirmed at the moment) a what appeared to be an engagement ring for Nicki Minaj – her people have told us that she is on a “short break” before she returns to the studio and start planning the “We Are Young Money World Tour” that is suggested to start late November.

So could it be true? Nicki Minaj and Drake could be having a quick and quite (well not so quite) wedding? To be fair, everything adds up but i find it hard to believe that Nicki Minaj would want to settle down as a wife to a commercially growing rapper! After all that would mean a huge image change…right? (It would be nice to see her wedding dress), Remember you herd it first here on The MoMo Show! I will be giving you live updates asap!

Congratulations to the Young Money family who’s début group album went Platinum this week after it’s release in December 2009. I have also come to learn that since the departure of Jay Sean (bo-ho) We Are Young Money is the first collaboration studio album from Young Money Entertainment. It was released on December 21, 2009. Featured guests are recently-signed Young Money artist Short Dawg, Lloyd, Birdman, and Gucci Mane (i see…).

Although a little surprising, as many people expected this album not to do so well – come on now, who does a label family album? – was it a desperate cry for some more money to bail Lil’ Wayne out? The album debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200, selling 143,000 in its first week. The album was met with mixed reviews from critics and did well on the Billboard chart. The next week, the album dropped down three spots to #12, selling 42,000 copies. However after continuous airplays of the group single “BedRock” and huge circulation of other tracks off the LP, the album just about managed to certify Gold! – still platinum is a far cry away, but as they say…We Are Young Money.

Can I just ask one question please!? who the %$£& carries guns on their tour bus!? …really who!? (oh my bad Lil Wayne!). So it was confirmed today that Lil Wayne has been sentenced to a year in jail after pleading guilty in a New York City gun case (on the tour bus!).

The Grammy Award-winning rapper was taken away in handcuffs Monday to start serving his term immediately after his sentencing. He pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and admitted having a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007. He’ll serve his sentence in city jails, not a state prison. He could be released in about eight months with good behaviour

Lil Wayne was born Dwayne Carter and has been one of rap’s most prolific and profitable figures in recent years. His “Tha Carter III” was the best-selling album of 2008. His sentencing was postponed last month so he could undergo surgery on his bejeweled teeth. Listen to the new single “Bed Rock” with the Young Money family!  (more…)

Lil Wayne has postponed his jail sentence at the 11th hour – and by the skin of his teeth. The hip-hop star narrowly avoided the beginning of his one-year sentence, scheduled to start yesterday, after sentencing was postponed due to dental surgery.

Lil Wayne pleaded guilty on weapons charges more than three months ago, with sentencing scheduled for this week. As anticipated, he arrived at a Manhattan courthouse yesterday afternoon, dressed modestly and accompanied by his lawyer. But while observers expected these to be Dwayne Michael Carter Jr’s last moments of liberty for at least six months, Weezy will instead spend this weekend in Florida.

According to his lawyer Stacey Richman, Lil Wayne requires surgery for a cracked tooth. After hearing the details, the (more…)

To my surprise, i really like this album (on the verge of loving this album). For the last past months I’ve been asking myself where has real good Pop/R&B music gone…

Okay, so we all know about the “Chrihanna” drama, but I really hope this album gets the reception it truly deserves. It’s clear the woman beater has been working hard on this album alongside fitting in all those hours of community services. The album flows nicely like any other Chris Brown album. With great ballads such as “Crawl”, “Sing Like Me” and “So Cold” to those Hip-Hop joints with the likes of Trey Songz, Piles, Tank, The Game, Lil Wayne, Sean Paul and Lupe Fiasco! Tracks like “What I Do”, and “Girlfriend” these might hang around along time! Plus the killer Dance beats such as “I.Y.A.”

One thing that’s missing is T-Pain (but hey that’s his loss!). So congratulations to woman beater Chris Breezy, you’ve got MoMo’s first ever 5 star review!
