• Lil Wayne's Manager Cortez Bryant On Cash Money Records: Everything Is "All Good"

    Yesterday, Lil Wayne took to Twitter to blast his longtime label Cash Money Records in a series of tweets after alleging the label won't release his upcoming album Tha Carter V and declaring that he wants off the label. The album has been subjected to a series of constant delays and the New Orleans rapper is tired of it. Despite his comments yesterday, it appears that things are being smoothed out between Birdman's Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne's camp. TMZ caught up with Lil Wayne's manager Cortez Bryant outside of an L.A. nightclub and to see if there was any friction between the two parties.

  • Song Questions with Song Answers: Rod Stewart and Shakira, Lil Jon and Hall & Oates, and More

    Acts like One Direction and Taylor Swift have created armies of super-creepy, devoted fans. We're not talking about the typical Directioner...we're talking about the stalkers and X-rated fan fiction writers. Fortunately this isn't the '60s, where fans could apparently infiltrate the music industry and send messages to their idols. The best example is Elvis Presley, specifically his hit "Are You Lonely Tonight?," which according to Billboard generated at least four songs titled "Yes, I'm Lonely Tonight" and one "Oh, How I Miss You Tonight" as "answers" to his question. Odds are these songs were more about profits than untamed hormones, but we love the idea of response tracks.

  • David Bowie, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Fallon, The Pogues: 8 Best Holiday Duets [LISTEN]

  • The Beatles' 'Long Tall Sally' EP Showcases Band at Its Most Raucous, Proves Vinyl Sales Can Make Dent in Billboard 200
