As I said yesterday when I put up the snippet, today is the day the Lil Wayne ‘Got Money’ video premiered on the networks and the internet. Maybe you like the song, maybe you like Lil Wayne, but do you like the video? The sign is hot in the clubs right now and on the radio, as is everything else Lil Wayne is a part of. Im not sure I get putting Hurricane Katrina into the video of a song that’s clearly got no substance, but what do I know anyway. Thats all Im saying, so you can watch the video and let everyone know what you think about it right here on TrillSouth!

I wont take the time to post everything here since it’s all already there. But today the SmokingGun released 20 pages worth of Rick Ross info. Thats right it’s his whole file that they obtained through a request and it’s got everything. No it’s not real dirt, it’s just more confirmation of what people already know is true now. Rick Ross was a CO for 18 months and this is all the info you need to confirm that and then some. So why did he deny it so hard, it just doesnt make sense. Why is it never the act, but always the coverup that gets you busted wide open and why dont people learn? Seems like this is something that Ross is going to have to address personally soon and let people know what he really has to say now. Silence will only kill his career, but asking forgiveness and giving a good explanation might allow him to continue because he’s good at making music and people want more.

Yeah Im serious, there is a free Bun B concert going down in D town this Friday. You just might even catch yours truly on the scene. Im trying to get in touch with the club and see if I can get access with my camera, but if I cant you might just catch me there in the crowd just enjoying a show from one of the best artists the south has to offer. Here’s the little flyer and you can thank Torch Dallas and MySpace for hooking this one up, Saints Row 2 is sponsoring and you want to thank Bun B for performing. It’s going down D Town and if you catch me at the spot then let me know you enjoy the site, what you want to see more of and if you’re hater then feel free to hate on me! Peep the flyer and good luck on getting into the show!

So the real Freeway Ricky Ross had a little something to say about Rick Ross and the latest revelations about his being a CO and denying it. Check it out and let me know what you think. I still think people are making too big of a deal about it and it’s clear that from Freeway’s statements prison has made him quiet against “the man” and he seems to think they are to blame.

There are a lot of things going on right now with the rapper that stole my identity. It’s been tough on me because part of me whats to jump on him and beat him in the ground for being so arrogant and disrespectful, and then there is another part that said judge another brother that the system has made a clown out of. Build him up and now they are going to let him be turned down. I know that Def Jam is probably going to abandon him now, just another puppet, and they start to look for another to replace him. What people need to do is look at the root, because Def Jam is just as responsible as he is. Now you know they did a back ground check, but they don’t care what they feed our kids as long as they get their dollars. When will we wake up America and learn that there are more important things than the all mighty dollar? It took me going to prison to wake up. Is it going to take us to lose our country? Because America is definitely falling. Just about everybody I talk to tells me how hard it is in almost every industry. I don’t know, maybe I am confused. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS THING OUT!!!

Peace.

It’s not the full version because that’s coming out tomorrow, but I’ve got a little preview video clip for you to peep today. It’s Lil Wayne’s latest track with T Pain, Im talking about ‘Got Money’ and it’s also Play N Skillz produced. The track is as hot as Wayne is in the game right now so the video is going to be all over the place after tomorrow. Check out the clip right now and see a little preview of what to expect tomorrow.

Alright you probably heard about that DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz mixtape with Ludacris that’s about to drop. Well I’ve got a track titled ‘Still Spittin’ thats over that Slim Thug ‘Still Tippin’ beat and I think you’ll want to listen to it. Are you feeling Luda? Is he too commercial for you or is this DJ Drama mixtape a sign of him bringing it back to where he came from. Either way the track isnt bad and Im not a Ludacris fan, but I can listen to it and handle it. Peep the track and get ready because that Gangsta Grillz Ludacris is dropping tomorrow!

Well it’s the latest in the teen rap scene with Bow Wow throwing out a new video and dance in combination with a SouljaBoy feature. Im sure the 15 year old girls across the nation will go crazy for this, but will you? I’d have to say the readers here at TrillSouth are a bit older, but Im sure there are a few closet Bow Wow fans out there still. So the video is cute for teen scene rap, but how do you feel about the song. Do you want to hear it when you’re up in the club this summer?

I also sat down with Slim Thug a couple weekends ago when at the Play N Skillz private boat party and had a minute to let him speak. You know the Boss is doing big things since going independent. Stay tuned for plenty more including that Boss Hogg Outlawz coverage this summer and fall.

So it looks like the hottest rapper on the planet has got one more problem on his plate. It’s coming to light a little bit lately that Wayne might be using some samples and beats that aren’t original, but aren’t credited properly as well. So here’s the latest news from Billboard about the rapper with a Milli, a Milli, a Million problems.

A music publishing company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones’ song “Play With Fire” sued rapper Lil Wayne today (July 24), saying he released an altered version of the song without permission.

Abkco Music Inc accused Lil Wayne, his artistic collaborators and his record company, a unit of Universal Music Group, of copyright infringement and unfair competition.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan seeks unspecified damages.

Lil Wayne’s “Playing with Fire” is a clear derivative of the Rolling Stones song with the original lyrics and music altered in a recognizable way, Abkco said in its lawsuit.

In one example, the lawsuit said a lyric from the Stones song is “But don’t play with me, ’cause you’re playing with fire,” and the Lil Wayne version has the line, “But you can’t blame me if I set this stage on fire.”

Representatives for Lil Wayne and Universal were not immediately available for comment.

Abkco also said that Lil Wayne’s version uses “explicit, sexist and offensive language” and could lead the public to believe the company and the Rolling Stones approved of and authorized the new version.

You might remember I posted a little mention of Trae Day in Houston. Well it happened just this week on the 22nd and I’ve got the pics. The day went well, kids played, rappers rapped, politicians probably lied, but who knows for sure. Either way Trae is one of the realest rappers in the game and here’s a few of the pics from the historic day. Houston rap and trill rap receiving some credit is a good thing.
