Drake + Bodyguard Involved in Fan Altercation
Send this man to jail!! Ha, kidding. The story goes that two fans came up to Drake after a show which lead to an altercation between the two fans, Drake. One of the fans ended up in the hospital. I will admit I’m not one of Drake’s biggest fans but there is no way this is the whole story. Since when would an artist go out of his way to beat the crap out of a fan? Rap-Up says the following…
After the show, two fans claim that they were merely showing their appreciation for Drizzy when the rapper and his bodyguard got physical, pushing them away and spurring an altercation that sent one of them to the hospital.
“Before I got to say his name, [his bodyguard] punched me in the mouth and I fell back,” said Jeremis Perez Soriano, who ended up with six stitches on the left side of his mouth. “These are the same people that are buying your CDs. You shouldn’t treat us like that.”
His female friend, who was first pushed away by Drake, maintains that there was no physical contact on their behalf. “He never put his hands on Drake, he never put his hands on the security guard. He never even made a fist to hit the security guard for the security guard to come and hit him that hard,” she said. “Drake went to get on his bus and he flicked me off in my face and was like, ‘F you, you’re nothing.’”
Soriano is currently seeking legal advice and plans to file suit against the hip-hop star. He says he doesn’t want much, only reimbursement for his medical bills.
QuEST – Inner Sense (Prod. By M&D)
Dope New QuEST
From all the leaks from QuEST, I have to say this track along with “We’re Goin Down” are my two favorites. I’ve had this song for about two days now and it continues to grow on me. Listen to it a few times before you rate it/download it and I’m sure it’ll grow on you too. Real solid lyricism mixed with a great sample (not sure who it is?). Overall pretty solid track from QuEST.
Yo Gotti – Look in the Mirror (Remix) feat. Wale, Wiz Khalifa, and J.Cole
Dope Remix
I know most of you don’t really care for any type of Yo Gotti, but I will venture a guess that the features he has on this remix account for 3 of the most popular artists on GMAD. You just had to listen.. But, in my opinion, Wale and Cole really stand out. Too fast and tough of a beat for Wiz to keep up. If any of you actually read the news (which you should), you knew this was coming.
Oh and shout out to Paul ‘Shardy Boy’ Fagan for being Wiz’s #1 supporter. And a young man by the name of William Gilpin Day III aka Trip. Young man knows how to have a grand ole time and is quite the pong partner.

Mann – Return of the Macc feat. Iyaz vs. Nipsey Hussle – Return of the Mack feat. Iyaz
Whose song is it?
Okay so I went back and forth all day about whether to post the Mann song or not and then the 3rd or 4th time I listened to it I had a revelation, “Wait, where have I heard this?” Oh yeah, on this song which also features Iyaz. I’ve seen nothing written about this phenomenon nor do I really care. Mann tries, but comes short. Who knows whose song it really is… Nice little tune, Enjoy…
Mann Ft. Iyaz – Return Of The Macc
Lil Wayne Has Heard Kanye’s Album
As we reported yesterday, Kanye’s album got a tentative official release date. However, in a recent in interview with Rolling Stone Kanye revealed in a recent visit to Rikers to visit a one, Dwayne Carter, he rapped his entire album. So, let me get this straight, Kanye sat there fro 45-60 minutes rapping as Wayne just listened? I guess that could be considered excitement in jail. Except below..
“Sometimes he has so many guests he tells me to come back another day,” his manager, Cortez Bryant, says. Drake, Diddy, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj are among those who’ve gotten past the guards. During West’s visit, he gave Wayne a private concert. “I rapped my entire new album for him,” West says. “Like, ‘Do you want to to rewind?’”.
Shawn Collins – What a Rush – EP
cfen Update: added a couple more songs. Download these dope tracks and buy the cd for some other great ones.
Nice Shawn Collins
This song is one of my most played of the week so figured it should get up here. Shawn Collins raps and sings over a very smooth hip hop beat with strings and piano in it that changes throughout the song. It goes from calm and piano driven, slowly building to a climax with electric guitar and some strong singing. Also I am realllly enjoying the Wizard of Oz theme/references throughout the song . Im not the hugest fan of the movie, so I duno why I really like it.. but i do.. ha… ENJOY!

Slim Thug – So High feat. B.o.B.
New Bobby Ray
B.o.B. blessed us with a nice hook and a verse to Slim Thugga’s song. Usually Slim Thug gets to me but the up-beat nature of the song helps cancel-out the blandness of his voice. Enjoy..

Eminem – No Love feat. Lil Wayne [Video Teaser]
Full video will debut at 7:56 pm on MTV tomorrow and of course you will then see it on GMAD. 7:56, don’t ask me why..
Album Sales: Week Ending 9/26
Here are the numbers for the past week. A few things to take note up: Eminem is still moving along just fine as you can see; The Roots and John Legend collaboration project known as Wake Up was the highest debut selling 63K copies; B.o.B. is making his way to gold so if you have not bought his album (I actually have) go get it and support one of the most innovative men in hip-hop.

G.O.O.D. Friday canceled this week
I have taken the liberty of making this a featured post on the basis of how huge it is.
Read the pictures. No G.O.O.D. Friday this week. We are another blog to blame just like the long list of the rest of blogs that posted his song “Lost In The World.” I put that post in the trash, where I hope it remains. Everyone and their grandma has heard the song and downloaded it by now. To the hackers, thanks for sharing the songs, but it’s not cool that you leaked a song of an artist that has been so generous with us the last several weeks giving us good new music every Friday. I hate unfinished songs. Leaking unfinished songs is not cool. The song is always much better in its final cd quality form. And to those that have to tag the song with such shouting and nonsense, go jump off a cliff. I’m as excited to hear a new song before it comes out like the next person, but because of these leaks, we lost a new song directly from Kanye this week. We’re lucky it’s just this week, though. Hopefully, Kanye will still release as many G.O.O.D. Friday songs as he intended.
Despite all the sadness Kanye has about the leaks, he still manages to work hard to provide his fans with his talents:
I’m in the studio or editing suite every night to 3am finishing the film and the album or practicing for my SNL performance… We’ve got 4 engineers mixing the album to finish it as soon as possible.
Please don’t ruin it for the rest of us. Quit hacking emails. We all lose when that happens. This is for all the douchebags!
