Lil Wayne' Carter III's OFFICIAL 1st Single: Lollipop (VIDEO AND TRACK!)
The long awaited and delayed The Carter III finally has an OFFICIAL first single, the song is titled Lollipop and was to be released later this week but of 'course we got it before that. The video is also set to premiere tonight on BET's Access Granted, but of course we got it before that too. It's a rough cut of the video but whatever, we got it. The track features Lil Wayne one again experimenting with the Roger Zapp/T-Pain voice modulator thing, and at times can become annoying, but all in all the track is hott, but definitely not what I expected Wayne to drop first. The single also features the late, great Sean "Static" Garrett, of the R&B group Playa. I have been meaning to post on this, but Sean Garrett passed away two weeks ago what is said to be complications from a brain anuresym. Static was one of Devante from Jodeci and Timbaland's protege who got his start with the group Playa and their mild-hit "Cheer To You." He then went behind the scenes and became a monster penning numerous hits such as Ginuwine's "Pony" and "Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody" and trust me many, many more. This is Static's last piece of work and the last video footage that can be seen of him. May his soul rest in peace.

Lupe Fiasco, Jeezy, and T.I. are Superstars

Lupe Fiasco has decided to keep the heat goin' on his track Superstar and has enlisted two Atlanta heavyweights for remix duties. Young Jeezy and T.I. both spit verses on Lupe's track, and I have to say both artists both went a little hard. Still don't know how T.I. managed to get on this track but I guess with internet these days all he had to do was just send it out, huh. Anyway peep the track here.
