In an interview with MTV’s Hip Hop POV Lil Wayne talked about an album called Devol. He revealed that he was writing songs for the album while serving time at Rikers Island in 2010.
“I was also recording an album at the same time called Devol, spelled D-E-V-O-L ’cause that’s ‘loved’ spelled backwards And it’s my version of love songs. And what I mean by my version of love songs is they’re not saying I love you.”

In an interview with The Women Of Hip Hop Eve revealed that she will be releasing some music this year. Rap-Up gave us the important parts typed out. This saved me a lot of work.
On her new music: “I’m gonna throw out a viral single at the end of this month before the official single. I’m probably gonna throw out a couple records before the radio single. My whole goal for this record, since it’s been so long, I wanted to make sure that my core audience didn’t feel like Eve completely forgot about us and went to another side. I feel like this record is well rounded. It has enough of the hard street stuff, it has some radio stuff, but it also has some stuff that people can listen to when they’re feeling down.”
On new female rappers:
“I like Azealia Banks. I think her style is dope. If you listen to her lyrics, she knows how to wordplay and I think that’s cute. I’m not really into the Iggy Azalea chick. I can’t really fuck with her music, but her look is crazy. I just can’t believe it.”
On her dream collaboration: “Lauryn Hill has always been my one dream collaboration. She to me is so dope lyrically. Unfortunately, she’s just in a place right now mentally, but that would be a dream come true.”
On which five female MCs she would put on a record: “I would definitely have to get Missy [Elliott]. I would definitely have to do Kim ’cause I never got to do a record with Kim. Azealia Banks, I like her. A lot of people want me to hate on Nicki and say crazy things about her. I ain’t got nothing to say about her. Until somebody names me by name, then I don’t feel like nobody [is talking] about me. I wouldn’t have a problem putting her on a record.”
On the Lil’ Kim vs. Nicki Minaj feud: “It’s not about publicity. It’s about wanting that respect. I think maybe that’s where Kim is coming from, like, you’re doing your thing right now and no one can take that away from you, Nicki—we all see it—but at the end of the day, if it wasn’t for Kim, she wouldn’t be here and that shit is real.”
Who knew Drake was a football (yes football) fan, Chelsea TV caught up with Drake and Didier Drogba after the 2-1 win against Benfica at Stamford Bridge.
I was rooting for the other team in the second half, these guys wasted too much good chances. The game should’ve ended with at least four points difference. But hey, still they won.
Check the video after the jump.
