Birdman Compares Lil Wayne to Michael Jackson (XXLmag)
Cash Money Records CEO Bryan “Baby” Williams is a winner. The New Orleans entrepreneur founded his now-ubiquitous record label in 1991 locally, then took it to Universal Music Group in 1998 and signed a $30-million deal with them. The label has since gone through key lineup changes, most notably when Juvenile (Cash Money’s former flagship artist) left the label in 2001. After all the ups and downs, it was Lil Wayne who emerged as the face of CM in the new millennium thanks to the success of his Tha Carter album trilogy.
Even with Wayne currently serving a jail bid for gun possession, Cash Money, which also houses Weezy’s Young Money brand, is thriving thanks to its diverse and extensive roster. Of course there’s Drake and Nicki Minaj, as well as non-rapping stars like Kevin Rudolph and Jay Sean, who all keep the label at the forefront. Then, there’s Birdman himself, who last year released his forth solo album, Pricele$$. XXLMag.com caught up with the No. 1 Stunna to talk about his success, Cash Money’s expansion and Lil Wayne’s anticipated release from prison.
XXL: It seems like you never stop working or putting out music. What’s in the works for Cash Money?
Shit, we workin’. We got Tyga’s album. We workin’ on Bow Wow’s album, Brisco’s album, Nicki’s album, Wayne’s album, my album, Jay Sean’s album… A few movies in the works. Just grindin’, bruh. I love the challenge of doin’ music. We wanna be the best that ever did it and do the most. We got the opportunity and I promise you we’re gonna go hard as fuck like we ain’t got a dollar.
XXL: When you think about it, it’s kinda crazy how Cash Money outlasted all the other labels that y’all came into the game with. Labels like, Ruff Ryders, No Limit and Roc-A-Fella.

Eminem’s Recovery Goes Double Platinum
Eminem returned to number 1 on the Billboard 200 again after selling another 133,000 copies in its 8th week on the charts. That takes his total to an astonishing 2,113,000. Congrats to Em for hitting double platinum in just about 2 months. In this day and age, that’s highly commendable.
Just for interest, Fat Joe sold 2,400 copies this week and dropped to No.192. Next week, he’ll be out of the charts. Wow.

T.I.’s King Uncaged Pushed Back Again
Before hitting the stage at the AXE event, Tip told Rap-Up that he has decided to push back King Uncaged again from its September 28th release date. Here’s the reasoning:
“I pushed the album back so I can completely focus my attention to the rollout and release of this film Takers,” he said. “I feel it wouldn’t be fair to the film or the album if I was splitting my attention span amongst the two, so I hit pause on the album to completely focus my attention to rolling out this here film. And once we prayerfully debut No. 1—25-plus, 20-plus million—then after those bottles have been popped and that celebration has been underway, I will completely resubmerge myself back into the music fully on album mode.”
Actually, I predicted this at least a week ago. This is bound to happen when your poppy lead single with Keri Hilson fails to take off like you expect it to. Jeezy might be next.
