Drake and Wale // 14th Annual GQ Men of the Year Party in Hollywood

GQ Men of the Year Wale and Drake attended the party celebrating their honor at the Chateau Marmont Wednesday evening (Nov 18) in Hollywood. According to the popular men’s magazine, Wale, Drake and Kid Cudi have “killed” gangsta Hip-Hop, earning each of them the “Man of the Year” title.

GQ says: Have you been listening to hip-hop this year? If not, we’ve got good news: The gangster persona is finally dead, and these are the kids who killed it. One song at a time, they build a new era in which duct-taped kilos, exotic firearms, and freaky girls are out and real life is the focus. … Wale is as famous for his live shows as for the slick-witted lyricism of his debut Attention Deficit. Kid Cudi is the cut up who scored with the stoner anthem “Day N Nite” and his album Man on the Moon. And then there’s Drake, who found himself turning down multimillion-dollar offers after his single “Best I Ever Had” exploded. (It helps that the girls like Drake. A lot.) Drake’s debut, Thank Me Later, is easily the most anticipated album of 2010.

So what do these underdogs think about being cast as gangster slayers? “The dope boy is going to be a fixture of black culture as long as ‘thug’ is a legitimate option alongside ‘job,’” Drake says. “But I’m not going to rap about how much crack I’ve sold.” Cudi also laughs at the idea of talking tough. “Anybody from Cleveland will tell you I wasn’t in the streets,” he says. “Ask them, They’ll say. ‘Scott was the goofy class clown.’”

The celebrity guest list for the 14th annual GQ Men of the Year Party also included Kobe Bryant, Gabrielle Union, Nicki Minaj, Kim Kardashian and more. Continue reading for the rest of the pics!

♫ NEW BEATZ: Young Money F/ Lloyd – “Bedrock” + (★) Pics of Them at the Music Video Shoot!

Lloyd & Nicki Minaj on the set of Young Money & Lloyd's new "Bedrock" music video

“Call me Mr. Flinstone, I can make your bed rock!”

Young Money and LLoyd teamed up for YM’s second single “Bedrock.” The artists that make up the track, other than Wayne and Lloyd, are Drake, Nicki Minaj, Gudda Gudda, Tyga and Jae Millz. Sidebar: Wayne doesn’t actually “rap” on the song, but at the end he shouts out just about everybody in Young Money.

The original version of the catchy track featured former Young Money member Omarion. But he was replaced by Lloyd shortly after the former B2K member and the Lil Wayne headed label/group parted ways. And we wouldn’t be surprised if Lloyd and Young Money were working out a deal of some sort seeing as Lloyd is currently a free agent. And he and Wayne are good friends and we believe he’d be a perfect fit for the team.

Anyway, the video for the Kane Beatz produced track was shot last Thursday (Nov 5) at an undisclosed location and above is a pic of Lloyd an Nicki chilling on the set. And you can check out more behind the scenes pics from the set of the clip, which should be premiering soon, when you continue reading!

1 Comment

Nicki MinajUp and coming female rapper Nicki Minaj is the latest addition to Lil Wayne’s “Young Money Entertainment” family. Her deal was announced Monday (Aug 31) and Lil Wayne says that’s honored to have her as the label’s “first lady.”

“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.
