How old is Foxy?

Unlike some other female rappers *cough*LilKim*cough*, Foxy Brown fully supports Nicki Minaj. In this conversation with MTV’s Sway, she also says that she’s one of the youngest female rappers in the game (I can’t find concrete information on her age on the web – anyone know how old she REALLY is?)

Drake revealed to MTV on the set of his video “Fancy” that Lil Wayne called him from jail to give him a sneak preview of verses from the forthcoming Carter IV album.

“He called me the other day from jail and rapped me two verses, man,” Drake said. “It really made me, like, ‘I gotta do something different. I gotta get sh– together,’ because he’s really got bars and he’s rapping from a broader life perspective, saying these things people love to hear.”

Drake also revealed that, although he wasn’t aware of the title of Weezy’s September EP I’m Not A Human Being at the time, he’s definitively a featured guest.

“That’s what Hip Hop’s about –
Let’s get straight to the point.”

Bawse emcee Rick Ross visits MTV News to explain the concept of his Jay-Z featured “Free Mason” cut from Teflon Don and how it came about.

“When you listen to it, every thing that’s been running through your mind should be answered,” he says, “and what better person to do that with than Jay-Z?” He adds, “As soon as [Jay-Z] heard it he was like, ‘Yeah – let’s go in.”

“I have always been hesitant to share the details of my life with the world, but for the first time I am comfortable and confident that you will love this story” –Drake

The hype continues; on international Drake day a.k.a the day of his debut album release [well? did you buy it?] MTV released the following preview of forthcoming hour-long feature documentary Drake: Better Than Good Enough, “chronicling the hip-hop wunderkind’s rise to fame.”

Set to air Wednesday, June 23, 10pm on MTV:

Cameras have been following the So Far Gone star since he kicked off his Away From Home Tour earlier this year. “Better Than Good Enough” also features Drake and his October’s Very Own team working hard to finish Thank Me Later, his highly anticipated debut album — which was released Tuesday (June 15) — and at times it finds the young rapper struggling in intimate moments where he shares the details of his ever-changing life.

We see Drake opening up about his relationship with his mother, a constant presence in his life whose love he says is unconditional; we see him admonishing his staff after a poor performance in Atlanta; and we see him feverishly working to record last-minute vocals in time for his album’s deadline.

“I’m juggling my album, my reputation as a performer, my health and my sanity,” Drake says in a clip available exclusively on MTVNews.com. “It escapes me a lot of times, how I’m even still going and how I’m gonna show up in Kansas City after working all night. It’s nonstop — you think you’re getting sleep but the sleep you’re getting isn’t really real, ’cause you’re so exhausted you’re catching up to tired.

“My mom is sick,” he adds. “So that scares me a lot. She’s been the most supportive person I’ve ever had in my life — the only person that loves me unconditionally, really. I know a lot of people love me and I love a lot of people. But to love somebody unconditionally is different.” [Read full info on MTV]

I have been bugging out over the movie adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim comic series since I saw the 1st trailer in April.
Now the good folk at MTV premiered this scene from the movie at the 2010 Movie Awards yesterday which sees Scott Pilgrim (played by Michael Cera) take on Lucas Lee (played by Chris Evans) and his stunt team.

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), bass guitarist for the garage band Sex Bob-omb, has just met the girl of his dreams. However, he must defeat Ramona Flowers’ (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) seven evil exes, who are coming to kill him.

Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass — and now is back in town — to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona roller blades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes control her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.

As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past, from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

After the jump check out the second extended trailer…
