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!

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.

Bow Wow

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.”

Drake & Lil' Wayne performing at the 2009 BET Awards

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.
