Straight Outta Compton (Trailer)
During the 57th annual Grammy Awards, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube appeared in a commercial where the two rap legends drove around Compton and talked about how now is the right time to release the N.W.A film Straight Outta Compton.
Immediately following the broadcast, an uncensored version of the ad dropped on YouTube, complete with cameos by the Game and Kendrick Lamar, as an introduction for the red-band trailer of the upcoming N.W.A biopic.
Straight Outta Compton will hit theaters August 14, 2015. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube both serve as producers on the film, and their introduction for the trailer was filmed the same day Suge Knight allegedly killed a man following a hit-and-run while visiting the shoot.

Free Download: Missy Elliott – Lose Control (Club Killers Mash)
Performing at the Super Bowl is a real privilege, as it shows that you have really “made it”, and that you are in fact one of the brightest stars on the planet. One of the biggest payoffs from performing at the game isn’t just the honor, but the huge spike in sales that an artist’s entire back catalog witnesses in the weeks following. While Katy Perry might have headlined the halftime show this year, the numbers are showing that she might not end up being the real winner here.
Missy Elliott joined Katy Perry on stage for three of her biggest hits, and people are responding by buying everything they can of the rappers. Her album sales saw an incredible leap, growing over 2,500% from the previous week. That’s only a bit over 2,000 CDs, but that’s quite a bit for an artist who has been fairly inactive for a number of years. The trio of singles she performed—”Work It”, “Get Ur Freak On”, and “Lose Control”—collectively experienced a 978% rise in sales, which is about 71,000 songs sold.
Hopefully her “surprise” (the news was broken just a day or two before the Super Bowl) indicates that Missy is ready to get back into the game and has new music coming soon. It has now been ten years since her last album, and there is no better time to release new music than after an enormous performance like the one she just did.

Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris, and Mr. Probz nominated for iHeartRadio’s ‘Dance Song of the Year’
The iHeartRadio Music Awards is still in its youth, but has shown hints of maturity as it inches toward its second annual affair. Scheduled to be held on March 29th at LA’s Shrine Auditorium, the celebration will honor the most coveted artists and songs played on iHeartMedia throughout 2014. Last year, Avicii represented the electronic music community as he took home a trophy for ‘EDM Song of the Year’ with “Wake Me Up.”
This year the number of dance music affiliates seem to be scant, but IHeartRadio did catch on to the more politically correct term, “dance music,” as opposed to “EDM.” 2015′s nominees for ‘Dance Song of the Year’ include Martin Garrix (“Animals), Calvin Harris (“Summer”), Naughty Boy and Sam Smith (“La La La”), Calvin Harris (“Summer”) and Mr. Probz (“Waves”).

Google conducts ‘Have you heard of EDM?’ study
It could be argued that Eventbrite helped pave the way for studies on dance music culture when it conducted an ‘EDM Audience Analysis‘ in March 2014. The main takeaway from Eventbrite’s study was that dance music social media users are far more vocal on their pages compared to their general music counterparts, thus driving the genre’s unprecedented success.
Now, Google tries its hand at what is essentially an ‘EDM for Dummies’ — a brief study that breaks down dance music to its core, even defining the term “EDM” for those who are uninformed. Using Google and YouTube’s internal data between January and July of 2014, the study depicts the staggering increase in subscriptions to EDM channels: 60% on smartphones, 77% on TVs and 175% on gaming devices. Additionally, YouTube racked up an impressive 2.3 billion views and 8.4 million likes on the official videos of nine dance-influenced tracks listed in Billboard’s Hot 100 for 2014. Some of these include “Turn Down for What,” “Wake Me Up,” “Latch” and “Animals.”
Aside from resonating Eventbrite’s point that electronic music listeners are more likely to be tech-savvy and to engage in social media, Google’s study does return with one fascinating insight: not all EDM fans are teenagers and young adults. While those under 25 tend to view the most dance-related content on YouTube, interest in the genre among individuals between 35 and 49 skyrocketed 80% from January to July in 2014. Furthermore, the older millennial age bracket consisting of 25 to 34-year-olds saw the largest growth compared to all other audience segments.
Check out the full study HERE.

Lil Wayne Sues Cash Money for $51 Million
Many were flabbergasted to find out just how much Lil Wayne was suing Cash Money Records for: $51 million dollars.
But it’s true. On Thursday, Jan. 29, a 21-page lawsuit surfaced on to the Internet. Within the lines of the documents, it breaks down the record contract between Cash Money and Lil Wayne, amendments, and what is owed, and why.
As TMZ reported, Lil Wayne is owed $10 million, solely for the recording and completion of Tha Carter V: “Cash Money agreed to pay Carter an advance of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) per solo album, with Eight Million Dollars ($8,0000,000.00) to be paid upon the commencement of the recording of each solo album and the remaining Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) to be paid upon deliver of such album to Cash Money.”
Also, “Cash Money has failed to properly account and pay royalties and profits to Young Money LLC. While Cash Money needed Weezy and Young Money’s approval for marketing expenses greater than $300,000.00, they did not do so, and Cash Money “claims millions of dollars in marketing expenses for the Young Money Label.”
On top of suing Cash Money, Wayne plans to take all his Young Money artists — including Nicki Minaj and Drake — when he parts ways with the label.

Calvin Harris to get $400K a night at Hakkasan & Omnia?
We have quite the Wicked Whisper & Racy Rumor this morning!
Las Vegas insiders are agog this morning with rumors that in the continuing war among rival Strip nightclubs, The Hakkasan Group is about to announce that it has locked up 31-year-old superstar DJ Calvin Harris for a new, three-year exclusive deal on the Strip.
The Wicked whisper is that it took a guaranteed $400,000 a night payday for him to continue spinning at Hakkasan in MGM Grand and and the group’s new Omnia nightclub opening this Spring in Caesars Palace.
AskMen.com is reporting that Hakkasan will make the official announcement very shortly.
Calvin, whose birth name is Adam Wiles, is hailed as one of the Top Three world’s richest DJs, and the new deal funded by Abu Dhabi’s wealthy investment group Tasameem led by Khadem Abdulla Khadem Butti Al Qubaisi, propels him to the rank of top money earner.
That’s ahead of Swedish DJ Avicii and Dutch-born DJ Tiesto, both of whom play at Las Vegas clubs as EDM masters. Tiesto, in fact, just renewed his contract at Hakkasan and celebrated his 46th birthday there.
Last year, Forbes ranked Calvin in the top slot of highest-paid DJs, earning $66 million. Calvin headlined at Hakkasan on New Year’s Eve and Tiesto on New Year’s Day. Hakkasan also is expanding into an ultra high-end chain of branded hotels with the first to open in Dubai in 2017.
Yet another Wicked Whisper today: Is Pharrell set to join Calvin & Co. as a resident at Hakkasan? We are keeping our eyes peeled for confirmation and details.
Meantime, the Strip rivalry for dominance is described by Ask Men as akin to an arms race but simultaneously asks if Las Vegas can sustain the onslaught of growth and mega-sized DJ paychecks resulting in $150 admission — before drinks or bottle service.
Ask Men concludes that for as long as the big-name electronic dance music acts are a giant draw, then the Las Vegas clubs will continue to shell out even higher paychecks to keep the DJs on the Strip.
