The Goods: Have What It Takes to Tweet For President Obama?

Out of a job? Love Twitter? Riding for President Barack Obama? Then you're in luck. Late last week, the President announced that he's currently looking for a "Social Networks Manager" immediately. Your job, if you should choose to accept it: Help update President Obama's Twitter, Facebook and MySpace pages (and, um, convince him that MySpace is so 2006). Though Obama's gotten props for using all forms of social media both before and during his presidency, he admitted late last year that he doesn't actually tweet or write his own Facebook status updates. So the gig includes coming up with grassroots campaigns on the various social networks. But as the ad for it points out, the right candidate needs to be "ready to work hard; this isn't a 9-to-5 sort of job."

Birdman calls time working with R. Kelly his worst investment

Cash Money CEO Birdman, also known as Baby, has made a lot of money in a lot of different places ... but he's best known for the wise decisions made in music.

However, if you ask him, there's a few places his Cash Money Records company is lacking and that's the R&B world.

While he's found a star in Jay Sean, Baby did have plans to do a joint album with R&B star R. Kelly. That never panned out, and according to the music mogul, it was a waste of time.

In a recent interview with Ozone Magazine, Birdman said working with Kellz was his worst investment.

"Probably the worst investment I did was f***in' with R. Kelly," he explained. "That was a waste of my time. I could've made money if I wasn't f***in' with that clown-a** n****."

In 2003, the pair were to record a Best Of Both Worlds 2 album, but it never saw the light of day.

Also in the interview, Birdman discusses his plans for expansion in music, his success in the oil biz, his flagship artist Lil Wayne, and the new crop of Cash Money artists next in line.

Here's a snippet:

You seem to find money no matter where it is, from the Lugz shoes, to videogames, to music...
I'm trying to buy some of the [Miami] Dolphins next.

How did you become so business savvy?
I was just born with that sh**, brah. When you have a business you need to know to budget, spend, and manage. I think those are the three hardest things to do in business. If you don't do those things, your business is gonna go under. I was just blessed to know how to do those things [as well as] hustle. Honestly, you gotta hustle and know how to flip money. And to flip money, you've got to always get new money. Niggas be trying to hold on to old money and they don't spend it, but you've gotta keep flipping that sh**.

I heard the tattoo on your head represents an oil rig. Is it true you're an aspiring oil tycoon?
I've been in the oil business about 4 or 5 years now. That's something me and my brother decided to do outside of music. I read about oil a lot and I was able to get in business. [My company] is called Browner Oil, and I'm making good money off that; that's something for my kids and my kids' kids. They can live off that money forever.

Not to get in your pockets too much, but I heard you've made over $100 million off oil.
I did a few different deals. That was just one of them. When you're dealing with oil, you buy in different areas. 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.

Dr. Dre Files Lawsuit Over The Chronic Royalties

Dr. Dre has filed a lawsuit against Death Row Records, the legendary record label he co-founded with Suge Knight.
Dre, born Andre Young, filed a federal lawsuit against the company that purchased Death Row out of bankruptcy, WideAwake-Death Row LLC.
According to the lawsuit, Dr. Dre has not seen any royalties from his groundbreaking hit album The Chronic since 1996, the year he left the label due to a strained relationship with Knight.
Death Row Records was put up for sale, when Knight lost a $107 million dollars default judgment to Michael and Lydia Harris.
The Harris’ claimed they invested $1 million dollars, but were cut out of profits by Knight.
WideAwake-Death Row Records LLC purchased the storied gangsta rap label and all of its assets for $18 million dollars during a sale in 2008.
Dre claims the new owners, who have issued releases and reissues by Snoop Dogg and Kurupt, are selling digital, remastered copies of The Chronic and The Chronic Re-Lit, both without his permission.
Ownership of the label is still in question.
In November of 2009, Laura Lavi, who claims to be the sole CEO of Wideawake-Death Row LLC., accused co-owners New Solutions Financials of diverting funds and assets illegally.

Samsung Is The Latest Company To Capitalize On MJ's Death

Sigh. Another day, another way for a major corporation to make a buck off the deceased Michael Jackson. On the same day the King of Pop’s former doctor pled not guilty to a manslaughter charge stemming from MJ’s death, Samsung announced that they’re planning to release a limited-edition Michael Jackson This Is It hard drive that comes preloaded with his final documentary, This Is It, that was released recently. The hard drive comes equipped with 500GB of space and a DRM-protected copy of This Is It on it. If you’re collecting Michael memorabilia, this might be a nice pickup. But at this rate, don’t expect the MJ goods to dry up anytime soon. Check for it here on Feb 24, for a retail of $123

Lil Wayne’s Feature Film Debut Goes Straight-to-DV

There’s good and bad news for fans waiting to see Lil Wayne in his feature film debut, Hurricane Season. The bad news is that the film, originally set for theatrical release in 2009 won’t hit theaters at all. The good news, though, is that the wait is over. The film has been slated for a straight-to-DVD release and will be available for purchase as soon as tomorrow (Feb. 9).

Starring Forest Whitaker, Isaiah Washington, Taraji P. Henson, and fellow Young Money rapper Bow Wow, the drama is based on a true story about rival high school basketball players from five different schools who came together as one team in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The movie follows the players and their coach (played by Whitaker) from before the disaster and all the way to their road to the state championships.

Filmed between April and June 2008 in Weezy’s hometown of New Orleans, Hurricane Season has seen its theatrical release date postponed numerous times due to the financial troubles of the film’s distributing company, which ultimately led to the straight-to-DVD release.

The DVD’s release date coincides with the New Orleans MC’s real life drama, as he’s set to go behind bars over weapons charges for a one-year jail bid tomorrow as well.

THE GODFATHER OF GENGE.

The godfather himself Nonini has done it again! the probably most anticipated album in e.a will be hitting the shelves on 9/2/2010! As promised by the godfather, the album which can also be purchased on itunes, noninimusic.com and reverbnation will retail at KSH.499 and will be available country wide. keep it vibesarena for tour dates and launch party

WE DONT CARE IF BEBE DIES -RADIO & WEASEL

Goodlyfe Slaughters A Goat To Celebrate Bebe Cool Shooting

Good Lyfe stars Weasel TV and Mowzey Radio say they are unbothered by Bebe Cool shooting and actually say they don’t give a damn if the super star dies, this is an OMG shocker. Ever since Bebe was shot last weekend, he has been bedridden and bleeding profusely. While other artistes including enemies like Bobi Wine and Mega Dee teamed up under the Uganda Musicians Federation, an umbrella that governs the musicians in Uganda, to show support to their ailing colleague Moses Ssali a.k.a Bebe Cool, who was shot over the weekend at Centenary Park, Radio and TV do not happen to share similar sentiments.

They have adamantly refused to make an appearance at Nsambya hospital where Bebe is admitted nursing his gun wounds. Efforts by fellow musicians to have the two stars visit Bebe have been futile. Singers Silver Kyagulanyi, Bobi Wine, Isaac Rucci and Ronald Mayinja met Radio on Tuesday at Emerald Hotel on Bombo Road to try and convince him to visit Bebe. He adamantly refused assuring them that they (Goodlyfe) will never visit Bebe Cool.

“In fact we don’t give a f*** if he even dies,” Radio allegedly told off the artistes before driving off. The morning of Bebe’s shooting; Goodlyfe slaughtered a he- goat to celebrate.

Wanted by Police
Following the shootout, Radio and Weasel, who have been linked to the shooting that night are said to have taken off to Rwanda, which many interpreted as an effort to run away from the arm of the law. Insiders said that Radio and Weasel skipped to Rwanda for fear that they would be pulled into the mess. They however claim that they had been booked for this concert earlier before the shootout. They say they couldn’t overturn their earlier appointments just because Bebe Cool got himself shot.

Efendys incident
The night Bebe Cool was shot; he had a run in with the Goodlyfe boys. He had showed up at Efendys to apparently promote his new hit Kasepiki at Efendys on Friday night which happens to be the Goodlyfe Nite. His presence was not exactly welcome and incensed Mowzey Radio and Weasel asked the management to throw him out. Bebe was asked to leave but he apparently refused which threatened to cause a scuffle and forced management to call Police Patrol to escort him out of the club. The shooting happened between Nakumatt and Centenary Park shortly after the scuffle at Efendys

Bebe had it coming
The pair who just returned from their trip to Rwanda, we are told, was on Tuesday evening summoned to Emrald Hotel by Bobi Wine, Ronald Mayinja, Mesach Ssemakula and Silver Kyagulanyi, a night before the press conference (called by Uganda Musicians Federation which took place on Wednesday.) The meeting was intended to convince them to join the rest of the music fraternity in a show of solidarity for their colleague who is in great pain. Radio turned up for the meeting at Emerald at around 11pm and in no uncertain terms asked them for a good reason as to why they should feel sorry for Bebe Cool. He branded Uganda Music Federation hypocrites.

“When Bebe was thumping us, no one cared, why should we go see him or support him for that matter?” Among the things he said was that Bebe Cool had what happened to him coming. ‘He always thumped us like we were kids and time had come for him to pay for his sins.’ They said the most recent atrocity against them was at Imperial Resort Beach where the ‘bogolako’ singer interfered with their show and went on to beat them up with his goons from Gagamel yet the federation did nothing to show solidarity. ‘The guy has always disrespected us and there is no way we can respect him when he is in pain. This is the best thing that could have happened to him,’ they said.
