Greetings Wemixers.. Today's Quote is FAMILY COMES FIRST. I've been going through some tough battles but when hits your immediate family, it's not a game !! I've been taking my moms to & from the doctor's office, back & forth to the hospital & It's been affecting my creativity.. Ma Dukes is my rock of salvation & without her confidence & a boost to what ever I quest, I wouldn't be half the man I am today.. I have friends who's family isn't tight as mine often tell me to leave her for dead & get back on your grizzle.. I could never turn my back on my family or anybody I truly rock with.. If you come from a broken household, break the chain & be parents to your children because FAMILY COMES FIRST
PEACE & BLESSINGS

WeMixers, I know I have blogged about this a bunch of times, but hopefully you had a chance to watch Battleground Earth last night. Below is a picture of Luda and his eco-rage and well as Tommy Lee and his eco-rage in Battleground Church - the first location of their challenger.
Did you notice that Luda has on his WeMix shirt? Oh yeah, Luda is repping WeMix ALL THE TIME!!! For Battleground Earth, Ludacris taps Willie Box (his personal chef) Sesean Bridges (a model, his cousin), and Tony "4-IZE" (friend and rapper) as his crew.Last night, they worked together to build small structures that got their energy with solar paneling. The structures were then donated to the Battleground Church.
If you didn't have a chance to check it out lazst night, Battlegroun Earth is on TLC at 8pm on Thursday nights.
Ludacris, Kayne West and Chris Brown are on the roster of T-Pain's third ablum "Thr33 Ringz" - Oh yeah, Luda collaborates JUST like you do.
The album is tentatively set to be released on September 30, 2008 - T-Pain's birthday. Two tracks "Silver & Gold" and "Can't Believe it" have been leaked to the internet. Below is a video. Ludacris has been confirmed to be on the track "Chopped and Screwed."
Peace-Bex
Luda has been ALL over the news this week. If you've missed it, here's a recap.
According to SixShot, Ludacris is going to be the first rapper inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. The ceremony will take place on September 20th at the Georgia World Congress Center.
Luda's in the MOVIES! Y'all know he's not just a musician, but an actor too. He's starting to film for the new Guy Ritchie film RocknRolla. Here's the trailer. Battleground Earth: Ludacris vs. Tommy Lee is about to start, so get ready!!! The Planet Green Show is a 10-episode reality that that pits Luda vs. Tommy in an environmental "green-off" with Earth-friendly challenges. Other celebrities will appear in teh show as well, like Magic Johnson, Wayne Brady, Travis Tritt, Criss Angel and Pamela Anderson.The winner will headline the show's two-hour concert finale at LA's Greek Theatre. The show premieres Sunday at 10pm. Here's an extended video. A week ago, Nelson Mandela celebrated his 90th birthday, and to honor him and his 46664 Foundation, Montblanc created a special bangle.

However it could be that I may not have gotten to your song yet. Wemix has over 77,000 songs & being that I'm the only one picking my top ten, it may take a minute to get to you. SO with that being said, here are my Top 10 picks of the week.

It seems like DMX wants to make handcuffs the new style.
This weekend, DMX was arrested in a Pheonix mall on suspicion of felony identity theft. Apparently, DMX, real name Earl Simmons, went under the pseudonym "Troy Jones" when he checked in to the Mayo Clinic last spring because he had pneumonia.. Using a fake name and a fake Social Security number, he tried to avoid paying a $7,500 bill.
The rapper's extensive rap sheet already includes busts on charges of outstanding warrants, misdemeanor animal cruelty and felony drug possession, speeding on a suspended license and attempted purchasing of cocaine and marijuana.
Just yesterday, we got wind of WeMix user, Cameron J's fantastic idea. He wants to improve his skills by doing a collaboration with 1 user from every state. His goal is to make 50 songs, all with other WeMix users by the end of the year. Sounds pretty ambitious to us, but we think he can do it.
He's already covered Oklahoma, by collaborating with Lil Rippa. Check out "Slow."
Check out Cameron J's 50 State Challenge and if you have some time, here's a fun video he made to promote his album. If you are intersted in making a track with Cameron J, you can reach him at his MySpace or you can email him at cameronh14@hotmail.com
So who is Cameron J?
He's a musician. A WeMix.com user, just like you. Cameron hails from Oklahoma City, and has been singing most of his life, starting in church choir. He's been recognized for his musicial achievement in all-state choirs and musician groups. In January, he released his first album, R&B Sensation - totally written and produced by himself. He told WeMix " I will continue to write and better myself as a musician... This is my dream... and I'm not stopping until I wake and its a reality."
We think he's 50 state chellenge is a great way for him to start making his dreama reality. So be a part of it! WeMix.com - Cameron J's 50 State Challenge!
You all know their music well. TuPac. Snoop. Dre. They are the fathers of modern hip hop. And now their label is no longer theirs.
Death Row Records, the label that released albums by Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre, was just auctioned off for a mere $24 million.
New York-based Global Music Group Inc is now the owner of Death Row, including the back catalog and current artists contracts. The independent label now has ownership of many classic albums including Dr. Dre's "The Chronic," Shakur's "All Eyez on Me" and Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle."
In it's heyday in the mid-1990s, Death Row sold tens of millions of records. But since, it has collapsed in debt and mismanagement.
WEMIXERS!
Luda's new album is just around the corner. It's called "Theater Of The Mind" and it's gonna blow your mind. There will be lots of drops and sneak previews right here at WeMix.
Here's a hot shot from MTV.com... Luda and DJ Drama talking about the album and some choice cuts.
Big ups to Phokuz, a hot WeMix artist repping all the way from Cleveland to LA.
Phokuz is out winner of the very first - but not the last - MyVox Open Mic Showdown.
How did he do it?
First, he uploaded 45 seconds of his strong rhymes to his WeMix Voice Mail. Then, he unleashed his friends and fam to vote and promote at WeMix. He ended up with almost 200,000 votes at the site, and many Phone votes on the WeMix Hotline.
And now he's getting paid for it - $500 in cash plus some custom WeMix gear.
Phokuz wasn't the only one to come correct. Qpee was a close second in the voting, and almost took the battle.
Who's going to be next? It could be you, so stay up on the site and watch for more contests.
WeMix isn’t the only thing in the news.
WeMix user Nadia, a singer-songwriter, was recently featured in the Boston Globe. The article talks about the transition from being a television reporter on CBS in Boston to being a successful singer. You can check her out at http://www.wemix.com/28662 or www.nadiasworld.com
We think it's reallly awesome when someone within the WeMix community is featured in the news.
Wemix is in this week's In Touch magazine. out now!!! So get one at your local store and check us out!
Greetings Wemixers.. It's been a minute since my last blog but I'm back !! Today's quote is : ARE OLD SCHOOL RAPPERS RELEVANT ? It seems that some old school MC's don't respect the new MC's sound of music. I personally feel like the growth of the music is a good thing. I have a problem when old MC's be hating & feel the game owes them something.. We may have missed out on the major paper but time is infinite & never stops.. Would Harriet Tubman be hating on African Americans today for her accomplishments ? HELL NO so why can't we Rodney King this Bitch & get along ? LMAO !! I think you must be open to new sounds & styles & stay current.. THAT'S WHAT MAKES A TRUE SCHOOL RAPPER RELEVANTP
PEACE & BLESSINGS

Barack Obama Loves Ludacris.
The proof?
Obama is on the latest cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and in an interview with editor-in-chief Jann Wenner, Obama talks about his favorite musicians. He says that the artists who top his iPod playlist include Ludacris, Bob Dylan, Jay-Z and Steve Wonder, among others.
As you probably know, last week Lil Wayne smashed the Billboard charts with his record Tha CarterIII debuting in the top spot and selling over 1 MILLION copies in a week. That's no small feat - even for a top musician.
MTV.com just posted an artile about Kayne, 50 CEnt and Ludacris congratulating Lil Wayne on his sales. While in Atlanta, Ludacris told MTV News that Wayne's success was hard-earned. "Wayne's been in the game a long time," said 'Cris, while sitting in the studio with DJ Drama. "I've done records with him. Apart from everything else that's going on, it's well-deserved. Wayne, congratulations. You worked hard for that's sh**, and you deserve it."
A Luda and Wayne collaboration was originally slated to be on Tha Carter III and may still find a home elsewhere. "I know he has a million songs, but we're still trying to find a placement for this song me and Lil Wayne did," Luda said.
Luda is all about the love, and giving props to his friends and fam, so maybe you should too.
Peace - Bex
