CASH MONEY'S OIL BUSSINES QUESTIONED BY BLOOMERG

The company was actually formed by the brothers years ago. But, the news caught the eye of several entertainment-related websites, and a few major financial publications such as Bloomberg.

While Birdman claimed in a recent interview with Ozone magazine that he already had oil pumps producing and was pulling in money on a monthly basis from his energy business, a recent report from Bloombergquestioned whether or not the company was even doing any real energy business at all.

"Right now I'm active; I got pumps and sh** that are getting money monthly. I like that oil sh**. I'm gonna put some more time into it," he told Ozone recently.

Bronald's mission statement says they are focused on the "exploration, production and development of oil and gas reserves" in several U.S. Gulf Coast states including Oklahoma's Osage County.

Well, Bloomberg contacted Oklahoma City-based Chaparral Energy Inc., who operates about 40% of the wells in Osage County. They said they've never heard of Bronald or been contacted by the company.

Also, when attempting to dig deeper into the music moguls' forray into the energy business, the publication found that "regulators that handle oil and gas permits and operator licenses in Texas and Louisiana didn't have records of Bronald's existence; nor did Secretary of State offices in Texas and Florida."

However, Dan Pickering, president of Tudor Pickering Holt (an energy investment and merchant banking boutique), told Bloomberg that it's likey that the Williams brothers would be non-operating partner in drilling projects since both oil and gas wells are very expensive. So, they could very well be doing business after all, just not hands on.

Other inconsistencies included unlisted phone numbers, or numbers listed to the residences of either Birdman or Slim, and the pair being the other individuals listed under management and director headings on the Bronald website.

While Birdman may have fabricated his statements about actually owning oil pumps that are drilling currently, it's very likely that the music moguls have a real interest in diversifying their portfolios into energy, but are still in the early stages of reeling in investors to drill.

The Cash Money camp had yet to respond at press time.

President Obama Tells Jay-Z He Loves BP3

First it was that he wanted some one to manage his Facebook and tweeter accounts now he is listening to the BLUEPRINT 3 BY JAY Z.....

Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 album has received its biggest endorsement via PresidentBarack Obama. In a recent interview with BBC One, Jay-Z disclosed that the President loved the LP and was playing it during their recent phone conversation.

“Barack loves hip-hop, when I called him he was playing Blueprint in the gym,” he explained. “I've been invited to the White House a couple of times. Hopefully we'll keep him in for 8 years so I'll have time to get there."

Obama has been a self-admitted hip-hop fan for years, and first met Jay-Z in 2008 as part of his goal to help emcees use their art to spark critical thinking and bridge generational rifts.

Also, the then U.S. senator was hopeful to see hip-hop artists as a whole move away from the misogyny and materialistic slant that’s gripped the art form’s mainstream in recent years.

“I've met with Jay-Z, I've met with Kanye [West]. And I've talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking [is great]," Obama told BET on the special What’s In It For Us? “There are times, even on the artists I've named, the artists that I love, that there is a message that's sometimes degrading to women, uses the N-word a little too frequently. But also something that I'm really concerned about is they're always talking about material things about how I can get something; more money, more cars.”

Jay-Z acknowledged the hip-hop nation’s potential political power, but rejected the notion that artists should tone down their messages. Instead, he insisted that artists have a responsibility to speak on the uncomfortable truths of society, and not relegate their art to propaganda.

"Sometimes there are hard truths in rap, they're not packaged with pretty ribbons. Sometimes the realities of the situations are harsh and they need to be told,” Jay reasoned to the BBC. “We're the poets of our generation! Those truths and those honesties need to be told and sometimes that will rub people the wrong way but that don't mean you don't tell them. I think when rap is done brilliantly it can inform you of a problem, things that are going on."

Even as the pro-Obama hip-hop songs slowed following the President’s January 2009 inauguration, Jay-Z has remained one of his strongest supporters.

The Brooklyn native spoke favorably of Obama throughout Blueprint 3, including the songs “What We Talkin’ About,” “On to the Next One,” and “Reminder.”

Today (Feb. 19), President Obama will hold a town hall meeting at Nevada’s Henderson high school, followed by speaking engagements at the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
