Drake In ‘Tip-Top Shape’ For Take Care, Boi-1da Says

‘Lyrically, he’s gotten better,’ producer tells Vibe magazine. By James Dinh Drake Photo: Michael Caulfield/ WireImage Drake wasn’t kidding when he said he’d been “compiling some great raps” for his new album, Take Care — just ask the project’s collaborator/producer Boi-1da. In a recent interview with Vibe magazine , the hip-hop hitmaker — who worked heavily on Drizzy’s Thank Me Later and Keri Hilson’s recent effort — spoke about how impressed he was with the Toronto MC’s lyrical flow on the sophomore effort. “Man, 2011 is going to be a good year for music,” Boi-1da told Vibe . “Drake’s in tip-top shape, and what’s amazed me is that lyrically, he’s gotten better. He was already an outstanding lyricist, but now I’m just in anticipation of what people are going to think when they hear his new music.” The producer also revealed he gave Lil Wayne some beats for the rapper’s next project, Tha Carter IV . Boi-1da said Drake is trying to prove his credibility as a rapper more than as an R&B vocalist, saying the MC’s bars speak for themselves. “I know a lot of people had criticized him for singing,” the producer acknowledged, “but I think he’s just coming back to show people why they fell in love with him, like, ‘Did you forget about me?’ And it’s really coming out in his raps. It’s something I can’t even really explain.” Based on recent interviews, it seems as if the Toronto star is focused on making his sophomore effort much more than your average album. ” Take Care is its own mission,” he said during an appearance on Shade 45’s morning show. “I’m really going back to the So Far Gone where, first of all, as much as the label and people are fighting me, I’m not doing 14 songs, ’cause it doesn’t give me enough. I want to do interludes, transitions and different moments. I have an overabundance. I’ve never had this many raps.” Do you prefer Drake rapping or singing? Tell us in the comments!

Keri Hilson Says Chris Brown Is Back In ‘Good Graces’

Her just-released No Boys Allowed features Brown, who completed a yearlong domestic violence course. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Keri Hilson Photo: MTV News Keri Hilson’s new album may be titled No Boys Allowed , but as she told MTV News recently, men are definitely allowed on the project. A cursory glance of the track list reveals Rick Ross, Nelly, J.Cole, Kanye West and Timbaland as guest artists. Also included on the set, on the steamy duet “One Night Stand,” is Chris Brown. Hilson has been a staunch supporter of the embattled singer: Brown appeared in the “Slow Dance” video from her previous LP, and the two shared a laugh over a lap dance the “Deuces” star gave Hilson in a promo clip for her album. “People are already putting [Brown] back in their good graces ’cause they see his remorse,” Hilson told MTV News. “And I know people are saying, ‘Is he really a man? You have him on your album.’ I mean, yeah. To me, a man is someone, you don’t go backwards in life. You learn from your mistakes, and you don’t do it again. You show remorse, and you move on. You move forward onto bigger and better things. That’s a man trait.” Earlier this week, Brown completed a yearlong domestic violence course after pleading guilty to assaulting Rihanna, his girlfriend at the time. Brown posted a picture of his certificate on his Twitter page and shared a sentiment with his fans regarding the process. “I have enough self-respect and decency to be proud of accomplishing this DV class,” Brown wrote. “Boyz run from their mistakes. Men learn from them!!! thx.” Related Videos Behind-The-Scenes With Keri Hilson

Lady Gaga Dishes On Born This Way During London Show

During her concert on Friday, the pop star said her upcoming album ‘doesn’t have a bunch of rock ballads,’ confirmed that it will feature ‘You and I.’ By James Dinh Lady Gaga (file) Photo: Derek Storm/ Splash News Throughout the year, Lady Gaga has not only talked up her forthcoming album, Born This Way, but she’s also previewed a few new tracks that may or may not appear on the release. On songs like “You and I” and “Living on the Radio,” Gaga strays from her usual dance-hit formula to explore a more Elton John-esque sound. However, during her recent Monster Ball Tour stop at London’s O2 Arena on Friday, the pop star told the roaring audience that the project won’t be full of too many piano-driven ballads. After asking concertgoers if they wanted to hear a new song, Mother Monster said , “Want to hear ‘You and I’? This one is going to be on Born This Way. It’s one of my favorites. The album doesn’t have a bunch of rock ballads or anything, but this is one of them.” Following her chit-chat with the audience, Gaga launched into tune, which finds the singer recalling a reunion with a lover. “There’s something, something about this place/ Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face/ Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy/ Yeah something about/ Baby you and I,” she sang while pounding away on her piano. In the midst of her “You and I” performance, the songbird took time to give herself props for the originality and creativity she puts into her material. “Now I don’t know if you know this, but for those of you who don’t know, I write all my own music,” she announced. “Every single lyric, melody and note was created by me. I am not manufactured. I’m a bad cat and coming for you ’cause I believe in you and I.” Later on in the song, she added, “It’s not that I don’t like to be humble, it’s just that pop music has a pretty bad rap,” before indulging in some of her usual impulsive piano antics. Gaga’s Little Monsters can expect to hear even more new tunes as early as February. Just a few weeks ago, she told fan site Lady-Gaga.net that the lead single from Born This Way will be released that month, while comparing the album to “bad kids going to church, having fun on a high level.” What kind of tracks are you looking forward to hear on Born This Way ?
