Drake Addresses How He Handles Critics (Video)



Sway caught up with Drizzy last week while the Club Paradise Tour was stopped in the H-Town. The two discussed how Drizzy deals with criticism and some wisdom he received from Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. Pretty relevant for the time being.

“There will be days when I walk in an arena and people will cheer and then there might be days when I walk in an arena and people might boo, but it all sounds the same to me because it’s all just noise that lets me know that I’m relevant,” Drake said, sharing some words of wisdom that was given to him by boxing champ Floyd Mayweather.”I don’t get booed,” Drizzy continued. “I don’t face that. I mean he faces that challenge but my challenge is more with social media and open opinions and people just feeling like they need to talk.”

Pusha T & The-Dream In The Studio (Video)



Before Pusha T’s controversial “Exodus 23:1” caused some ruckus online, MTV caught up with Pusha and The-Dream at an Atlanta studio where they spoke on how the track came about.

It really started with this beat [from] Rico. We were like, ‘Yo, Dream would just sound amazing on the record, period.’ So we sent it out and it came back so quick. Dream was like, ‘Man this is one of the ones,’ ” Pusha recalled. “Personally, I never thought the record was going to come back that quickly. I was in New Orleans somewhere and Rico was like, ‘Aye! Dream did it — he on the phone!” I thought, “OK, wait a minute this might really be something.”

“I always personally felt like he was one of the best at what he did, period,” Dream said. [There's] lots of guys that are great from a rap standpoint, but in songs they’re not as great. Sometimes [you need to say], ‘Hey, move this part here and this is your hook,’ or ‘Let’s write about this, or let’s tap that emotion and let’s not rap past the emotion of where it is.’ “

MySpace Set to Relaunch in Late 2012


After being purchased last year by Specific Media and actor/musician Justin Timberlake, MySpace is readying a digital rebirth of sorts with plans for a relaunch in late 2012. Having been purchased back in 2005 by News Corporation for an estimated $580 million USD, the fledgling site that was once the most visited social media platform saw its value plummet to only $35 million USD in 2011. Preliminary plans sees Specific Media reaching out to advertising agencies, saying “MySpace will look to roll out consumer-facing activity towards the end of this year, at which time we’ll most likely undertake a formal pitch, but nothing is happening at this time.” In recent years the brand has repositioned itself away from pure social media towards a focus on entertainment. With Facebook recently going public, it seems only apropos that one of the godfathers of the way we interacted on the internet is looking to gear back up.
