Lil Wayne Announces European Tour!

Calling all European Weezy fans (and rich U.S. students traveling through Europe with an Eurail Pass)....Lil Wayne is coming to a city (possibly) near you. But the best part about Europe is that you can be in the next country over and be at the show in an hour or so. Us Americans have Mexico and Canada which are all well and good but that takes planning. You Europeans don't realize how lucky you have it! Anyway, ya boy Wayne is hitching a ride with the Griswolds and taking a European Vacation. Dates below. July 2 - Paris, France - Zenith July 4 - Roskilde, Denmark - Roskilde Festival July 6 - London, UK - Hammersmith Apollo July 7 - London, UK - Hammersmith Apollo July 9 - Amsterdam, Holland - Heineken Music House July 10 - Liege, Belgium - Ardentes Festival July 12 - Thurgau, Switzerland - Frauenfeld Open Air Fest [read more]

Asher Roth and Kid Cudi on DJ Enuff - Part 1

Well, the whole country knows the name Asher Roth by now (check out later this week to see how the kid did on the charts), but back in December, he was still building a buzz off the strength of The Greenhouse Effect and "I Love College." Ditto for Kid Cudi but replace "College" with "Day 'N Night." Check out this link to see the duo pop off a couple of freestyles on DJ Enuff's radio show. Ridiculous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceP4b2Z43qs And check back later for Part 2! [read more]
