Well I didn’t see this coming!!! NEW YORK, NY., April 2, 2009 — Lil Wayne & Cash Money Records Sues Mixtape DJ’s Makin Moves & DJ Drama, Makin Moves Entertainment. Has the Life of a DJ come and gone...50 cent, DMX, Ememe, LIL Wanye have all been feature MC's on Mixtapes. These mixtapes have functions as part of wide promotional distribution to show case the skills of new coming rappers/artist. It helps build a larger fan base by introducing free music in an effort to build a relationship between the consumer and the artist. The video blow talks in some details about the frustration, and while i heavy disagree with their homophobic terms and slurs in expressing there anger towards Wizzy, the tension highlights the unsaid reality of a dying music industry who fears the inevitable. You can't stop people from downloading illegally. To give Cash Money perspective some light, their tensions lies in the mixtape making it to the distribution centers like Walmart and other people making substancial profit from the mixtape. Not sure why but i still have the lingering feeling that, just as Maria Antoinette was unaware of the people's needs, cash money might be out of touch with the everyday consumer whose are facing hard ecomic times. i wonder if people the hiphop community is gonna show any love to his future projects, or that of his artist, like Drake, (Shout out to drizzy, stay on you grind). Will his actions prevent his other artist from climing, and was that his intentional move so that like a chess move, he prevents anyone from killing his king, which for him is his inflated ego thats echos chants of "being the best rapper alive."
