Drake and Fuse TV have joined forces to bring fans a front row seat to an exclusive concert featuring the artist.

Performing at a venue like Radio City is an honor and I'm excited that Fuse has given me a chance to preserve it.”

“Fuse Presents: Drake Live From Radio City Music Hall,” will feature songs from Drake's debut  album Thank Me Later and will include special appearances by Trey Songz, Birdman and Fabolous, among others.

Kanye West Covers Complex’s Dec/Jan 2011 Issue!

 

12:09 pm | Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Once again, Kanye has floored us all with the album of the year, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which officially hits stores today. Complex was lucky enough to get a glimpse inside the making of this masterpiece for our December/January 2011 cover story. In fact, it’s the ultimate fly-on-the-wall account: Earlier this year, our editor-in-chief, Noah Callahan-Bever, was invited out to Kanye’s rap fantasy camp in Hawaii to watch the magic happen. We also got some of the major players involved in the album (Pusha T, Pete Rock, Nicki Minaj, etc) to break down their experience, and as an online exclusive, we have a gallery filled with 40 behind-the-scenes Hawaii photos. The issue officially hits stands on December 7, but we’re giving you a chance to check out the full package now.

T.I Covers The Latest VIBE Talks Drugs Habit, Eminem & More

Days before he reported back to prison, T.I. sat down with VIBE's Erik Parker and gave his most candid interview to date. Here is an excerpt from the explosive cover story.

I’ve heard you mention how the good that you’ve done is easily forgotten. Do you feel that you’ve been treated unfairly?
If I place my value in the way humans treat me, then maybe. But they’re human, man―they can’t help themselves. They do that to people they know personally. So how can I expect them to treat me, only knowing me through television? They did that to Jesus. They did that to Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali. They did it to every great person you could possibly think of. When it was all good, they was with them. When things got bad, then they was against them.

But in this case things didn’t “get bad.” It’s something you did.
Let me just say this: [he sits up on the couch] If you look at a guy who came up, no pops in the house, moms on welfare, food stamps; started selling dope when he was 12, 13 years old, came up handling guns, being in shoot-outs; started going to jail when he was 15. In all of this chaos and this mischief and lawlessness, the person who was just in jail for machine guns and silencers turns his life around. And now you want to crucify him ―for what? Three pills. I mean, of course it’s wrong and unacceptable and inexcusable. No problem. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s rather petty. It’s rather petty to hold someone’s feet to the fire for something so small when they have overcame things that were so big. All that could have been going wrong―if I was riding with more guns, or if I had gotten into a shoot-out and killed somebody, then I could see that. But just think about it. I’ve gotten it down to this much.

How did you get a drug habit?
I had a lot of work done to my teeth. Oral surgery, extractions, six, seven, eight root canals. Between January to February. As soon as I got out, I had a lot of stuff done. In the joint, you eat shit that is unhealthy for you. I had fillings that fell out and stuff that had to get dealt with. Of course for the pain they gave me oxycontin and hydrocodone. And, mind you, on October 13, 2007, I had cut off everything―weed, alcohol. Then I get these pills and I start taking them for the pain at first. And then I’m like, Wait―this shit makes me feel good. And it’s legal. After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might have a drink or smoke a blunt, I took a pain pill. Times when I had 18-, 20-hour days, I’d take a pain pill. And eventually I developed―I guess―the beginning stages of dependence.

Have you talked to Eminem about addiction?
Sure. We got a record together, and we talked a lot. I asked him how he knew he was an addict. Basically if you put yourself in harm’s way... if you risk that, you’ve got to assume that there is something fundamentally wrong with your thought process.

VIdeo: MTV News Live Blog covers Drake's Final Concert in Las Vegas | Weezy's return to the stage + Lloyd and Tyga!!!

After traveling across the country, Drake will close his Lights Dreams And Nightmares Tour—the first headlining run of his career—on Saturday (November 6) in Las Vegas. Honestly, this night is also special because a certain Young Money Cash Money affiliate may grace the stage alongside Drizzy. Are you ready?

MTV Shows

1:44 a.m. SC: One last shot of the crowd in Las Vegas as they depart possibly the best concert they've ever seen.

1:38 a.m. JR: The crowd is chanting "Weezy, Weezy, Weezy" as Drake ends the night. He's bringing out the whole OVO click and thanking the fans for supporting him during the past eight months. Drake is shouting out Wayne, saying "It's great to have you home. Young Money, we back together. I promise you we will not disappoint you."

1:35 a.m. RD: The building is speechless.

1:33 a.m. JR/SC: Drake's performing "Over." Drake says "Tonight is the best night of his life!" Sparks are streaming from the ceiling of the stage, the show is peaking. Weezy is truly back, Baby is shinning, Tyga's elated and even Lloyd is beaming. Las Vegas is truly blessed to witness this moment in history. I've seen enough gifts to know when you're in a special moment. Drake, the leader of the now school!

Lil Wayne freed as T.I. begins serving 11 months | Albums from both on the way + New T.I. & Chris Brown video!!!

After serving an 8 month sentence at Riker's Island on weapons charges, Lil Wayne was freed today much to the delight of his fans and supporters. Unfortunately, this week saw T.I. turn himself in to serve 11 months for a probation violation, stemming from a weapons conviction back in 2009.

Wayne watched from behind bars as his Young Money label flourished with the success of Drake and Nicki Minaj, as well as the success of his own album 'I Am Not A Human Being', which became the first album by a rapper since Tupac's 1995 'Me Against the World' to top the billboard charts from behind bars. Now all eyes are on Wayne as fans look forward to the highly anticipated 'The Carter 4' album.

Like Lil Wayne,  T.I. plans on releasing his new album 'No Mercy' from prison. Previously title 'King Uncaged', 'No Mercy' will hit stores on December 7th, a followup to his double platinum selling album 'Papertrail'. Check out the first single "Get Back Up" featuring Chris Brown.

George Bush speaks on Kanye West, "... it was one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency". Hip-Hop experts react!

Hip-Hop Experts React To George Bush's Kanye Comments

Like Bill Clinton and Lil Wayne, George Bush cares what Kanye West has to say.

In an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer, Bush relayed that the lowest point of his presidency was in 2005 when, during a live benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims on NBC, West broke from the script and told the world “George Bush does not care about Black people.”

"I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency," Bush told Lauer.

Bush’s tenure as Commander in Chief was controversial for a number of reasons—including the war in Iraq and the economic crisis—but most intriguing was the former President’s commentary admitting that while he was the leader of the free world, was worried about what West, a humble rapper/producer from Chicago, had to say.
Here’s what a selection of esteemed hip-hop journalists and bloggers had to say about the 43rd president’s admission, beginning with his “of course I’m not a racist” please.
