DRAKE MAKES $155,000 A SHOW, BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE...
Concert promoters take note: if you want to book Drake, you’ll have to reach deep into your pockets. Documents from Thesmokinggun.com reveal that the Young Money rapper pulls $155,000 per show, making him among the higher-paid acts in all of Hip Hop. But how does he compare with other acts? Drake is far outdone by acts such as Rascal Flatts ($702,500), Kiss ($500,000), Keith Urban ($487,500) and Justin Bieber ($300,000). However, the Toronto emcee’s price eclipses Selena Gomez’ ($100,000), “American Idol” winner Kris Allen ($12,500), Sheryl Crow ($146,500) and Jordin Sparks ($75,000). While the fattest paycheck for the 2010 U.S. summer concert season would have been banked by U2–had Bono not been temporarily crippled–several other touring acts are commanding hefty six-figures fees. According to contract documents obtained by Buster, here’s a sampling of what it costs to book some country, hip-hop, rock, and bubblegum acts: Rascal Flatts $702,500 Currently, Drake is working on his sophomore album, Take Care. Drake pulls a hefty paycheck from each show, but how does he compare with other artists?
Kiss $500,000
Keith Urban $487,500
Drake $155,000
Selena Gomez $100,000
Kelly Pickler $40,000
Kris Allen $12,500
Chris Young $7,500

T.I. Writes A Letter From Prison "I'm Sick And Motherf*cking Tired Of Going To Jail"
Atlanta rapper T.I. recently wrote a letter from prison that was posted on his blog about his current situation. To say he's upset about it would be an understatement."This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that's saying a lot for a n*gga who's been down locked up as many times as I have. I see this as a real a** whoopin'. The kind you don't just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya ass to bed and don't come out of your room until it's time to go to school.I don' t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I'm certainly sick and mother f*cking tired of going to jail, juve, prison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it. I'd have been better off doing a 5-10 year bid one time than going in time and time again for days, weeks and months for the last 15 years of my life.Even though it's been a long road, I'm still standing, barely but nevertheless still standing. At one time I thought my motivation for continuing was for my fans, my partna Philant, my pops, my grandmama, even for the haters or the people I let down. But nah... I got to do this s*** for me!!! I'll be God damned if I've come all this way and made it through so much hell to let it go down like this! F*ck that! If an hour in the dark is worth a second in the sun then pass me my mother f*ckin' shades cause I'm ready to cash my darkest hours in...ASAP!!!A lot of folks had fathers or father figures in the house to raise them into manhood. I'm not trying to make any excuses for my situation but my father was a hustler that lived in New York. My uncle was a local big time dope boy turned 10 year federal inmate.My mother and grandparents did the best they could but I found my manhood in the trap and in prison systems. But I found it. And nan one of mine will ever have to feel the cold tight grip of a handcuff or grace the presence of a jail cell if I can help it.Over my dead body!So if you can't respect that you ain't rocking with my movement then F*ck you dog! I know a bunch of mother f*ckers who are.....- Love KING"

Here is the trailer for Nicki Minaj’s “My Time Now” documentary which airs on MTV, November 28th at 10PM. The documentary follows the Barbie around at her shows and when she was recording herPink Friday album. This looks interesting and I’m pretty sure it will be similar to Drake’s documentarywith MTV.
