News 7 out of Belize is reporting that LA Reid flew down there in a private jet to secure Mr. Barrow’s signature on his (allegedly) hefty new Def Jam contract. Not for nothing, but this is the type of excessive shit that has the music industry in the state it’s in now. Really? You couldn’t have just faxed the shit down there? After a quick perusal of  these two links , I’d (conservatively) estimate the cost of this little publicity stunt at somewhere around $25,000 and that’s not even including the flight back and incidentals. And let’s not even talk about the environmental impact.

After being locked away for so many years he missed a FEW waves in HIP HOP and right now that gangsta rap aint it. I think he might come back on some Common sense / peaceful / preaching kinda lyrics .. since he is at a different stage in his life i suppose #kanyeshrug well see ….

“The new credit card law is finally here. Starting Monday, banks will need to abide by new regulations on terms and disclosures. The idea behind the landmark law was to prevent banks from using practices that often dug borrowers deeper into debt”.
