And so the saga continues. Days after Steve Stoute
questioned Arcade Fire’s big win at the Grammy’s, the band’s manager Scott Rodger, fired back at “The Commisioner”.
“Arcade Fire deserved the win this year. They made the best album. If the award was names ‘Album Sales Of The Year’ award, there would be no discussion. Stoute’s letter was nice piece of self publicity. Did he see Kanye’s tweets when we won and the praise he gave us?? He needs to tune in. Eminem made a big selling album but it was far from being his best work. Katy Perry made a big pop record that simply didn’t have weight or credibility. Gaga’s repackage, great album but it was a repackage of the main release. I think everyone felt it was going to be Lady Antebellum’s moment having won 5 out of 6 awards to that point. We all felt that way too.
“I’m proud of this band and what they have achieved,” he continues. “We didn’t lobby any organisation for this nor did the band play the game. We paid our own overhead to do the event, thus the lack of on stage gimmicks. No label picked up the tab.
“Arcade Fire are now one of the biggest live acts in the world. It’s not all about record sales. It’s about making great records and it’s about building a loyal fan base. The band make great albums, they’re not a radio driven singles band. On top of that, they own their own masters and copyrights and are in complete control of their own destiny. Things couldn’t be better.”

Although Chicago has a new mayor, the city is still looking for an Alderman in the 20th Ward. In last night’s election, Rhymefest lagged behind incumbent Willie Cochran by 26 percent (46-20). Since neither candidate received over 50 percent of the popular vote, a run-off was issued for April 5th. Earlier today, ‘Fest rallied for support via his Twitter account.
Wherever you are in the city/Chicagoland area, we need your help! You can phone bank, you can canvass. E-mail unify20thward@gmail.com! Even if you can only do an hour, 10 people for 1 hour is 10 hours of service which goes a long way.We have 42 days to make this happen. I’m going out today to get to work immediately but I cannot do this alone.

After pictures of Yung L.A. and his quacky tat hit the net, he phoned XXL to explain the motivation behind his ink. Many speculated it was the logo of Atlanta-based label, Duct Tape Entertainment.
“That tattoo just comes from something in the city. My cousins grew up with a lot of people from Zone 6, I know a lot of people from Zone 6, and the people from Zone 6, there whole movement is called Duct Tape and I just had been really getting up with these guys. Everybody in the city from Zone 6, Zone 3, Zone 1, from Duct Tape to YGC to CDB to 30 Deep, there’s so many cliques in Atlanta and I just wanted to be the Robin Hood, I just wanted to be the guy that could have relationships with everybody in the city.”

This song was originally meant for Flo Rida’s last album, but now, its landed it Young Dro’s lap. After all, a rapper building a song around Breezy should be no sweat.
