“I want to say that from the bottom of my heart, I could not be with a different label. And I said earlier, if somebody paid me to be with a different label, I couldn’t. These people right here are fu**in’ amazing!” said Young Money’s First Lady, who received a platinum plaque for Pink Friday. “[Wayne] four years ago saw me rapping on a motherfu**in’ starcase on a DVD in Queens, New York. This shit is fu**in’ real. Baby would come to the studio and see this crazy New York girl in the studio and now look, a million records. Shout to all my bad bitches that’s gettin’ money! YMCMB, ya dig?” (Via Rap-Up)

Above is the official Veteran’s Day music video by Rick Ross featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman. Considering that today is Veteran’s Day, this is perfect timing for the video to drop. This is a hot video, check it out and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

Lil Wayne is expected to finish his Rikers Island sentence this Thursday, November 4. That very day, the rap megastar will likely make a bee-line for one of his favorite places on Earth: the recording studio.

“Me knowing Wayne, he’s going into the studio,” Cash Money label head Baby (a.k.a. Birdman) tells the Music Mix. “He hasn’t been able to rap for months. I think after seeing the family, popping a few bottles, it’s back to basics. Family first, that’s what we believe in, that’s what we’re loyal to. After that, I think the same day he comes home, he’s going to go straight to the studio.”

Weezy‘s first priority when he enters the booth for the first time since March will be working on his long-promised project Tha Carter 4 ( C4 ). Baby expects that album to arrive in the first quarter of 2011, though no release plans have been finalized.

Baby is also looking forward to working with Lil Wayne on a sequel to Like Father, Like Son, the collaborative album that the mentor and protégé released in 2006. “We’re planning on putting that out Father’s Day weekend,” he says. So what should fans expect to hear next June? “Just me and Wayne being us, the father-son thing. [We're] bringing that Cash Money/Young Money sound, that traditional hard-body rap, the music that we do together — that gangsta s—, straight up.”

The next year is shaping up to be a busy one for the label. Along with C4 and Like Father, Like Son 2, Baby anticipates new releases from Cash Money/Young Money artists including himself, Drake, Jay Sean, Bow Wow, DJ Khaled, Tyga, Lil Twist, and more. Drake’s sophomore full-length will likely drop next summer. “He’s in the lab right now,” says Baby. “You never know with Drizzy — [the album will be done] whenever he’s ready.”

Check the video out and let us know your thoughts in the comments below. I can’t wait to hear the heat Drizzy and Weezy are packing, how about you?

Lil Wayne gives advice to his Cash Money crew members

Lil Wayne‘s daily prison routine reportedly consists of mundane activities like watching ESPN and chatting on the phone. Despite his seemingly laid-back schedule, the Young Money/ Cash Money leader has cautioned his protégés to steer clear of trouble. Jail is no place for successful rappers, according to Wayne. During a visit to the incarcerated MC, Bow Wow, who joined Weezy‘s camp last year, said Wayne urged him and Young Money star Drake to stay on their best behavior.

“One thing he told me when I went to visit him, he was like … ‘Bow, this ain’t for us, this ain’t it. This ain’t built for cats like us. They don’t understand us, we don’t understand them. Don’t do it man, just stay out of trouble. You and Drizzy, y’all stay clean, y’all stay doing what y’all do. Y’all can do this forever,’ ” Bow Wow told Houston’s 97.9 The Box. “I knew he meant it, [because] Tune never lectures me like that … but he was serious.”

The 23-year-old rapper said that seeing Wayne locked up was a “humbling experience” and recalled hanging with Weezy before his prison stint.

“In our studio, it’s my room … then Stunna’s room then Wayne’s room. I’m so used to seeing the Bugatti pull up, I’m so used to … going over Wayne’s house and the chef is always cooking,” Bow Wow said. “You don’t like seeing your boy like that,” Bow lamented.

Similar to how Wayne doled out advice to Bow, the young rapper said he looks out for another member of the extended Young Money/ Cash Money collective: Nicki Minaj. Bow Wow, who stars in the comedy “Lottery Ticket,” almost scored the hip-hop diva a role in the summer flick.

“To be honest, Nicki was close to being [the character] ‘Nikki’ in the movie. I called Nicki and said, ‘Yo, I think you should audition for this role.’ ” Unfortunately, Bow’s bid to get Minaj some screen time was unsuccessful: The part eventually went to R&B vixen Teairra Mari. “I thought [Minaj] did good, but unfortunately you know how things don’t work out.”

Fans won’t catch Minaj on the big screen in “Lottery Ticket” but Bow Wow said a big tour featuring Weezy’s hitmaking squad will go down once Wayne comes home.

“When he gets out, we definitely plan on this Young Money/ Cash Money tour,” Bow said. “[The tour will feature] myself, Nicki, Drizzy, Wayne and the whole entire family.”

Update: some text from MTV:
Drake’s “Miss Me” video featuring Lil Wayne debuted Thursday night (August 19) on MTV. The clip starts with a man in a hood standing in an alley. He’s lighting up a Molotov cocktail and throwing it at the wall. The music starts, and we see Drake performing against a white backdrop, but the shot is wide and reveals a black setting as well.

The next video Drake and Mandler will shoot is for “Show Me a Good Time.”

Above you can watch the official I’m On It music video by Tyga featuring Lil Wayne. This video features cameos from Young Money and Cash Money members Lil Twist, Drake, Birdman, Lil Chuckee, Mack Maine, and also Juelz Santana. This is the first single from Tygaman’s album Careless World which should come out some time this year or early next year. The video was directed by Colin Tilley, and I’m not a fan of the green screen stuff, but besides that I like it. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
