HOW SWAY: DRAKE'S HIT SONG

HOW SWAY: DRAKE’S HIT SONG “HOTLINE BLING” MISSED GRAMMY NOMINATIONS DUE TO CLERICAL ERROR

    The streets are whispering about a HATER-RATION move against Drake. Someone has some explaining to do!
    Drake scored five Grammy nominations on Monday, but his recent hit "Hotline Bling" was noticeably absent.
    The song is his biggest hit on the charts, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and spawned memes galore, so why was it snubbed from the Grammys?
    Well, according to music-news site Hits Daily Double, it wasn't that "Hotline Bling" didn't have its fans. Instead, the song "was not submitted, due to a clerical error on the part of label Cash Money."
    Even without "Hotline Bling" being submitted, Drake earned nominations for "Back to Back" and "Energy," as well as Nicki Minaj's "Truffle Butter" and "Only," on which he's featured. His album "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" was also nominated for Best Rap Album.
    But with one of the biggest hip-hop songs of the year that's impossible to miss in "Hotline Bling," he surely would've had a much better chance if someone had remembered to do the paperwork.

Nike has signed Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James to a lifetime deal in what one source familiar with the negotiations said is the largest single athlete guarantee in company history.
      "We can confirm that we have agreed to a lifetime relationship with LeBron that provides significant value to our business, brand and shareholders," Nike said in a statement. "We have already built a strong LeBron business over the past 12 years, and we see the potential for this to continue to grow throughout his playing career and beyond."

    I've been a fan of Michael B Jordan since he played teenage drug dealer Wallace in The Wire. I'm so glad to see his growth and the moves he's making in Hollywood! At 28 he is flexing his muscular bod on the cover of Men's Fitness Magazine for their December 2015 Issue. His more ripped up physique is due to his preparation for his new role in the movie Creed.
    The Actor had this to say about the issue via his Instagram page:
Had a great interview with David Katz. Achieving my fitness goals & making it on the cover of @mensfitnessmag is an honor! @mrcalliet thank you for pushing me beyond my limits & showing me the results of what hard work & discipline can get you! We're just getting started!#Creed
    The Men’s Fitness issue hits newsstands on November 23. Creed hits theaters on November 25. Be sure to check it out

    Now that's what I call G.O.O.D news!!
    Pusha has come a long way and I'm glad to hear that he's making major moves on the business side of things. He spoke with Billboard to discuss his new role as President of the Def Jam imprint, his vision for the label and offer an update on his King Push album!
Actually, I was flying home and I had just got into my car at the airport. ‘Ye had called me and he was like, "Tell me something. What do you think about being the president of G.O.O.D. Music?" And I was like, "Well, what are the things that you’re looking for?" And he was basically just like, to manicure the label, make it profitable and be very business-oriented about it going forward in a manicured type of way.
