A Florida man named Thomas Marasciullo filed a copyright infringement lawsuit Friday (Oct 31) in a Manhattan federal court against rappers Lil Wayne and Birdman. The suit was also filed against their record label and various music distribution outlets.

Marasciullo is looking for recognition in a voice over that Wayne used back in 2006. The lawsuit against Cash Money states that Thomas recorded some Italian styled word arrangements and Lil’ Wayne and Birdman used them without permission (or pay) on a track entitled “Respect.”

AP reports: “The gold-selling “Like Father, Like Son” hit the top of the R&B/hip-hop album chart. Several short tracks that Marasciullo says he wrote, recorded and copyrighted — including “Loyalty” and “Respect” — feature a man’s voice delivering mob-movie-flavored repartee.

Among the remarks, from “Loyalty”: “The main name in this game is respect and loyalty. Family is a big thing. When we do this kind of business, everything is with respect.” The lawsuit says Marasciullo’s recordings were used in four tracks on that album and five on “5 (Star) Stunna.”

Rap star Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to a class “D” violent felony of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree at a court hearing in Manhattan Thursday morning (Oct 22) stemming from a July 2007 arrest following a show in New York.

Police pulled over Wayne’s tour bus back in July 2007 on the night of his show at New York’s Beacon Theater, which also marked his first headlining concert in the city. After conducing a search of the bus, he and another man were subsequently arrested by NY police for criminal possession of a weapon (a .40-caliber semi-automatic) and criminal possession of marijuana, respectively.

At Thursday’s court hearing, he pleaded guilty to the charges and accepted a 1-year prison term, of which he’s only expected to serve about 8 months.

Lil Wayne (real name: Dwayne Carter) will officially be sentenced in February 2010, and at that point he must surrender himself to authorities and begin his prison sentence.

Jay Sean may be new to us, but from what we hear, he’s been doing the damn thing oveseas since 2005! His first U.S. single “Down” (featuring labelmate Lil Wayne) is currently sitting at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, after taking the Black Eyed Peas‘ spot and spending a week at the #1 position.

Jay Sean (born Kamalijit Singh Jhooti) is a British Indian Pop/R&B singer/songwriter, born in West London, England to parents who migrated to the U.K. from Punjab, India. He started his music career overseas under Virgin Records and he signed to Cash Money Records over here in the U.S. back in 2008.

Jay and his bosses Birdman and Slim from Cash Money hosted a listening session last night at New York City’s greenhouse nightclub. Executives and artists from Universal Republic (Cash Money’s parent label). R&B singer/songwriter Melanie Fiona was also on hand to help celebrate her labelmate’s recent success of being the first Cash Money artist to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year.

Be on the look out for Sean’s U.S. debut album, All or Nothing, set to be released November 2009.

(01.) Jay-Z was given the honor of being the top emcee in the rap game for the year 2009, according to MTV. They give most of the credit due to his recent success with his latest album, The Blueprint 3.

Blueprint 3 is another Hov tour de force — and it destroys the myth that there’s an age limit on being a dope MC. At 39 years old, Jay is arguably still better than anybody on the mic today, rhyming with precision and grace. He throws buzzsaws right from the gate on the intro “What We Talking About,” where he raps about what he deems to be nonsense, like dwelling on rap beef.

So this is it. Chris Brown’s official first comeback single. “I Can Transform Ya” features rapper Lil’ Wayne and producer Swizz Beatz. The track is the debut single from his upcoming third album Graffiti, set to drop sometime early next year. It’s interesting to see how well this single and the album will do considering all of the negative press Chris has been getting ever since that big fight with Rihanna back in February 2009.

But so far, radio stations all over are reporting that the song is getting a great reception and a lot of positive feedback, despite Brown’s troubled past.

Greenville, South Carolina’s Hot 98.1 began playing the song as soon as it was available, and operations manager/ program director Steve Crumbley said the response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. “The audience loves it,” he said. “The response has been phenomenal, plus you have Lil Wayne on it, so you can’t miss.” According to Crumbley, the recent unsavory headlines surrounding Brown don’t appear to have slowed his career. “You mean because of the Rihanna thing? I didn’t think not playing a man’s record had anything to do with what he did,” Crumbley said when asked whether he’d hesitated to spin the tune. “I’m not making light of abuse. That is terribly wrong and he had to deal with that, but if the man’s got a good song, he’s got a good song.” Crumbley said he’s had not a single negative call about the song so far.

Seventy-eight Lil Wayne headlining arena and amphitheater concerts in North America from Dec. 14, 2008, through Sept. 6, 2009, grossed approximately $42 million and drew nearly 804,000 fans, according to Lil Wayne tour producer and tour business manager Shawn Gee, who also serves as president of music and entertainment at Sports & Entertainment Financial Group.

“It’s definitely one of the biggest in the last couple of years,” Gee tells Billboard.biz, noting that Haymon Events/Live Nation was the exclusive tour promoter for all of the shows. “Our plan was to prove that Wayne was a viable headlining arena artist.”

The second highest-grossing rap tour that Billboard has tracked was Jay-Z’s 2008 jaunt with Mary J. Blige, which grossed $34.6 million and drew 310,694 concertgoers to 28 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore. Kanye West’s 2008 Glow In the Dark tour comes in third, having pulled in $30.8 million from 49 concerts that attracted 507,853 fans.

Other lucrative hip-hop tours in recent years include 2005’s Eminem/50 Cent Anger Management tour, which grossed $22.7 million from 23 shows; and a 50 Cent tour in 2003 that rang up nearly $23 million in ticket sales, much of it co-headlining with Jay-Z on the Roc-the-Mic tour, according to Boxscore.

VH1 reps have revealed that their “Behind the Music” series will return in September 2009 and will feature profiles on rappers Lil Wayne, T.I. and 50 Cent, along with R&B singer and former New Edition member Bobby Brown.

BTM will follow Wayne from his early days as a New Orleans “Hot Boy” all the way to being the “best rapper alive” in 2009. His episode will kick off the return of the series on September 10th. A couple of weeks later on September 28th, Bobby Brown will be featured on the show and they’ll talk about his days as a member of New Edition, his struggles with drugs, his divorce from Whitney Houston and everything in between.

A week and a few days later on October 8th will be T.I.’s episode, where his life as a drug dealer on the streets of Atlanta, the murder of his close friend Philant Johnson and his current stint in federal prison will be highlighted. And less than a week later on October 13th, the show will document 50 Cent’s life, form his near-death experience in May 2000 all the way up until today, where he is now one of the biggest rappers in hip-hop.

“I am honored to have Nicki Minaj as Young Money’s First Lady. She is a star,” Lil Wayne said in a statement.

Minaj gained a lot of buzz after the release of several critically acclaimed mixtapes, including her latest, Beam Me Up Scotty, which features Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane and label mate Drake.

Nicki has always been a part of the Young Money family though, and she’s currently one of the featured artists on Wayne’s tour, “Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival.” But it wasn’t until today that the label officially announced that she was on the label’s roster of artists. Her deal includes a special aspect where she retains and owns of her 360 rights, including merchandising, sponsorships, endorsements, touring and publishing.

“To say I’m excited would be an understatement. It’s validation. It’s proof. It’s empowerment,” Nicki said. “I represent every little girl in a hood near you. To everyone that supported me two years ago when I was on underground mixtapes and DVDs and to the people that only caught on two weeks ago, I say thank you. Be proud of yourself. You’ve given girls all around the world the permission to change the face of female rap.”

Nicki Minaj’s debut album is set to drop in early 2010 and will be distributed through Universal. In the meantime, catch her on the America’s Most Wanted tour, along with Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and of course, Lil Wayne.

Young Money’s Drake and Lil Wayne, along with Eminem and Kanye West, have come together to bring us “Forever,” the biggest hip-hop collaboration since last year’s “Swagga Like Us,” according to MTV. This particular track, produced by Boi-1da, is set to appear on the “More Than A Game” soundtrack. And the music video will reportedly be shot sometime in September in New York City. Check out the song below and let us know if you’re gonna rock this … or if you’re just gonna drop it.

Rapper Bow Wow announced Sunday night (Aug 16) via his Twitter that he had officially signed a recording contract with Cash Money Records, the parent label for Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment.

The rapper had parted ways with his longtime label, Columbia Records, earlier this year. In previous Twitter dispatches, he explained he was deciding between two recording options: T.I.’s Grand Hustle camp through Atlantic Records or relaunching So So Def when Jermaine Dupri signed a new deal.

In the end, a third option emerged.

“We had two sit-downs,” Bow Wow said of meeting with Cash Money. “Upon the first sit-down, I called [co-CEO Birdman] and told him what I wanted to do. So it was a no-brainer. He was like, ‘Bow, you always been family. Next to Wayne, I look at you like my son. If you not with JD, you with us.’ From there, it was a done deal. So I wanna thank [him], Slim and Wayne.”

And guess who else was there? Drake! You know he couldn’t just leave his hometown fans hanging, so despite his injury, he took the stage with the help of a cane and a stool and did his thing. But seriously dude, take a break so that knee can get better before you have to perform with a cane/stool permanently! Continue reading to check out the video of Drizzy’s performance.

Singer Chris Brown surprised fans Sunday night during Lil Wayne’s concert in his home state of Virginia when he filled in for Drake by performing “Best I Ever Had.” Brown also performed “Every Girl” with Wayne and his Young Money crew and later paid tribute to Michael Jackson. When Jackson’s song “Billie Jean” played, Chris moonwalked across the stage as Weezy shouted, “Ya’ll make noise for the new Michael!”

It was Chris Brown’s first live performance since his arrest in February. Continue reading for videos of Chris performing. You can clearly tell that a lot of people still have love for the dude, despite what went on between him and Rihanna. Looks like ol’ Breezy is slowly making his way back into the biz.

Up and coming hip-hop artist Drake, whose “Best I Ever Had” track has been burning up the radio and is currently sitting at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, suffered a painful injury Friday night (Jul 31) as he performed with Lil Wayne at the Camden, New Jersey Stop of the America’s Most Wanted Music Festival.

Back in June just days for the 2009 BET Awards, he tore his ACL while playing basketball, which reduced him to doing his performance on a stool. And though he only does three songs every night of the tour, he took a risk by ignoring doctor’s orders and performing for the concerts in the first place. But Friday night as he and Wayne performed, just before his hit single “Best I Ever Had” hit the first chorus, Drake did some sort of spin move and twisted his already-injured knee, which caused him to suddenly collapse on stage. He didn’t even get to rap one bar.

He put his head down because he was in so much pain and then 4 guys ran out on the stage and had to carry him off. Lil Wayne was left onstage in a state of confusion. Sources say that Weezy then said to the stunned crowd, “Damn, I knew that n—a’s knee was bad, but I didn’t know it was that bad! I thought he was just in a wheelchair on T.V.” Then Wayne had to keep the show going, so he performed “Mrs. Officer,” with Shanell and T. Streets (normally, Drake performs the song with Wayne.), and then “Every Girl In the World,” again, sans Drake. Meanwhile, backstage, paramedics cordoned off a section and were examining the injured star.

Hey, guess what?! Lil Wayne’s Rebirth album might not even be coming out. The LP, which has been pushed back more times than we can count, has a new November 2009 release date but we’re just gonna go out on a limb here and say don’t get your hopes up too high. Because come October or November (or even sooner) you may either hear that the album has been shelved or pushed back … again. But we could be wrong. We’re just saying … don’t set yourselves up for disappointment by getting your hopes up for an album that’s been “finished” for nearly a year and has yet to see the light of day…

“Honestly, I’m just starting up this Young Money label and I’m trying to get my artists down right. Get everybody together,” Weezy told MTV News. “Once I got that together, then I could work back on me. I’m a very humble person. I know once I get to it, I’mma get to it. So like I was saying, it’s Young Money time, so making sure my artists get their just due.”

Download Weezy’s new track, “Million Dolla Baby” below. The song, produced by Just Blaze, takes shots at radio personality turned late-night talk show host Wendy Williams with the lines: “F*ck Wendy Williams that b*tch look like a dude / Her body look chewed and her hair looks glued.” Damn!! He also talks about getting head like 6 midgets and all kinds of crazy Wayne stuff. You just have to take a listen for yourself below.

For this dude to be the “best rapper alive” he sure is having a hell of a time getting his latest album out! According to Young Money singer Shanell, who co-wrote Rebirth’s debut single “Prom Queen,” Lil Wayne’s rock-inspired album will be released “when it’s perfect.”

“Right now it’s September. But let me tell ya’ll, great art takes time and you’ll expect it and expect it and expect it again, but when it’s perfect, you guys will receive it.”

Lil Wayne’s people have responded to that lawsuit involving him, a Bahamian promoter and over $430,000. Red City Entertainment sued the New Orleans last week, claiming that they fronted him $432,000 to perform at a concert in the Bahamas. Their lawsuit states that instead of being on stage when he was supposed to, Weezy was knocked out cold in his hotel room.

And now, Weezy’s manager, Cortez Bryant, has spoken up and is telling his side of the story:

“Our show was set for September 26th last year,” Bryant explained. “We arrived on time, ready to perform and learned that due to lack of payment from the promoters. The sound company they had hired packed up and left the venue before Wayne was scheduled to hit the stage. So they were forced to cancel the show. On those grounds, at that moment, they were in breach of contract and forfeited their deposit.”

According to TMZ, a lawsuit was officially filed Thursday (Jul 9) and it states that Red City gave Lil Wayne an advance worth $210,000. The rest of the money paid for his hotel expenses and various costs involved throwing the concert, which obviously didn’t go as planned.

Interesting to see how this all is going to play out…

Popular financial gurus Forbes has released yet another list. Their previous list featured Beyonce perched at the top, earning a staggering $87 million in one 12-month period. And now her husband, rapper Jay-Z, is sitting at the top of the “Hip-Hop Cash Kings List,” earning an estimated $35 million over the past 12 months. A far cry from the $82 million he pulled in last year, but still pretty damn good, especially in a recession.

Drake and BET have publicly apologized in response to the outrage thrown at them for Young Money’s performance at Sunday night’s (Jun 28) BET Awards. As Drake, Young Money and Lil Wayne performed their songs, which all have several sexual innuendos, young girls were brought up on stage, including Wayne’s 9-year-old daughter Reginae.

According to reports, the reason why Reginae and her friends were brought on stage was because she didn’t get to go up with Wayne to accept his award earlier in the show due to her being seated too far in the back. And before Weezy took the stage to perform with Drake, she cried backstage begging her dad to let her go on stage.

Here Jamie Foxx can be seen paying tribute to Michael Jackson (comedically, of course) as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, which aired live from Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 28) on BET. Jamie Foxx is probably one of the few people who can make light of a sad situation and have everyone laughing and crying at the same time. The BET Awards was supposed to dedicate the entire show to Michael, per the press release sent out Friday, but failed to impress.

The show itself was pretty good, but they should have never mentioned dedicating the show to MIchael if they didn’t have the time to do it right. That said, we really hope they put together an entire special to honor the late King of Pop so they can at least try to save face.

Throughout the day, we will be posting official statements reflecting on the King of Pop’s legacy from the biggest names in music and entertainment. Stay tuned!

Lil Wayne: “I personally can’t believe it. But it’s more unfortunate for the world of music. … My love goes out to his family. … A sad day in history, not [just] music.”

Snoop Dogg: “I feel like his music will never die and his spirit will never die, because he influenced so many if us. He gave us a lot of hope that we feel like we can be big. He was very inspiring and up close and personal with his fans. That to me was special. That’s one of the things that I loved about Mike. When I got a chance to meet him, that’s the feeling and spirit that I got from him.”

So it looks like Lil Wayne has been running around town raw and getting industry chicks pregnant … and apparently he’s caught himself in what some would call a “love triangle.” According to several (confirmed) recent reports, actress Lauren London AND singer Nivea, who recently went through a divorce from singer/songwriter The Dream, whom she already has 3 kids with, are expecting babies from Weezy!
