Lil Wayne Doc 'The Carter' Shoots To #1 on iTunes

A controversial new documentary about superstar rapper Lil Wayne has shot to the top of the iTunes movie charts.

QD3 Entertainment’s film The Carter is currently the No. 1 selling documentary on iTunes in the U.S.

In addition to landing the top slot on Apple's iTunes U.S.’ music store, The Carter is also in the Top 10 on the Canadian iTunes music store alongside such blockbusters as Bruno and GI Joe.

“Having our Lil Wayne The Carter documentary place in the Top 10 on both U.S. and Canadian iTunes store within the first 48 hours, competing neck and neck with multi-million dollar studio films such as Bruno and GI Joe during Christmas season is quite a feat for a self distributed indie doc and beyond our expectations,” QD3 Entertainment CEO Quincy Jones III told AllHipHop.com. “We are very excited about continuing to innovate within the digital space.”

The Carter was released on November 17th and is an in depth look at the personal and professional life of rapper Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., is known for his rigorous touring schedule and frequent drug use, which is spotlighted in the documentary.

In April of 2009, a judge rejected a request by Lil Wayne's lawyer to block the distribution of the DVD, due to several scenes in the movie which the rapper and his management objected to, reportedly because of his drug use.

The rapper's management claimed they requested to have the questionable scenes removed, but those scenes were still in The Carter, when it premiered at the Sundance film festival in January.

Despite the lawsuit Jones told AllHipHop.com that the documentary’s release is in line with a digital distribution strategy the company has been developing in 2001.

"It was my goal since the inception of QD3 Entertainment in 2001 to have a strong focus on digital distribution and multi platform innovation,” Jones told AllHipHop.com. “Since 2001 our primary means of marketing have been organic and viral on digital platforms. Using this approach we've been able to sell over 2 million DVD's via the QD3 (DVD) collection at physical retail….this is the era we have preparing for all along by retaining all rights to our content and were about to launch a couple of digital content and social media platforms by early 2010 utilizing our over 3,500 hour library of high quality content that includes films such as Tupac Shakur - Thug Angel and the multi platinum Beef.”

QD3 Entertainment’s The Carter was directed by Adam Bhala Lough and is currently available on iTunes for $14.99.

Exclusive: Dolla's Mom Speaks; Prosecutors Seek Death Penalty For Murder

The family of slain rapper Dolla will celebrate his 22nd birthday today (November 25th) with the release of a brand new mixtape titled The Miseducation of Dolla.

Dollar, born Roderick Anthony Burton II, was gunned down in front of the Beverly Center on May 18th 2009.

Just hours after the shooting, police arrested Aubrey Louis Berry, 23, as he attempted to flee California via a flight from Los Angeles Airport, back to his hometown of Atlanta.

“Just a few hours before the incident, I spoke to my son and he was on his way home catching a flight out. I stay close to the airport, so he used to stop by," Dolla’s mother Dawnee Robinson exclusively told AllHipHop.com. "He told me what he wanted for dinner. He wanted some yellow rice, cabbage and chicken wings. So I went to the store and made sure I had everything. So when I got the call, I was cooking his dinner.”

While numerous reports have made references to Dolla’s alleged ties to the Crips street gang, Dolla’s mother denied those claims and said her son was simply into Hip-Hop music.

“He's always been inquisitive and ambitious and wanted to know everything about everything,” Ms. Robinson told AllHipHop.com. "[He] read everything in sight. Asked a lot of questions and he's always been, you know just a light. I’m so blessed Allah chose me to be his mother.”

While Dolla’s music may have reflected the street life, his mother claimed he was an aspiring rapper who was trying to fulfill his dreams through music and modeling, when he was murdered in cold blood.

“My son was always working, always in the studio,” Robinson revealed. “He spent a lot of time at home with us when he wasn’t on the road. So you know, whatever caused this person to murder my son, I'm still in total disbelief and can't understand what would, provoke anyone to do something like,” an upset Robinson stated.

Dolla started rapping at the age of 11 and after a short lived deal with Dreamworks, he was signed to Akon's Konvict Muzic record label in 2007.

Akon made a cameo appearance on Dolla's biggest single "Who the F**k is That," which also featured Florida producer/rapper T-Pain.

The rapper was in Los Angeles recording material for his debut album for the label, when he was shot and killed near the V.I.P.valet parking area of the Beverly Center.

“He was finishing his album and mixing his mixtape. It was also his girlfriend's 23rd birthday that lived in Los Angeles, but she goes to school at Clark [Clark-Atlanta University]. So he was killing three birds with one stone. Mixing, finishing up his music and enjoying her birthday weekend. So that's why he was there."

Aubrey Louis Berry, 23, is charged with murder and assault. He claimed that he acted out of self defense after Dolla and his crew threatened him in the Beverly Center.

The former promoter from Atlanta is being held on $2 million dollars bail for his role in the murder and has pled not guilty to the charge.

Sources told AllHipHop.com that prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Berry for the murder of Dolla.

While Dolla’s mother expressed grief over the fact the two young men had lost their lives, she did state that she wanted to see justice pursued to the full extent of the law.

“Hey, all I know is that is not OK to go around shooting and killing people,” Robinson told AllHipHop.com. “That's not what I believe in. That's not what my son believed in and I feel that anyone who is so bold to take another life, for no apparent reason, I feel that they should be prosecuted with full extent of the law and that's how I feel."

Dolla’s new mixtape The Miseducation of Dolla hit the internet today, along with two previously unreleased tracks, “Ghetto Prayer” featuring J. Valentine and “Gonna Be Alright.”

"His legacy is a great one,” Robinson stated. “I believe that you know in due time you know Bu [Akon’s brother/business partner], Akon and Damian Jackson, Dolla’s manager and mentor will make the step to put things out really soon. The mixtape came out today on his birthday as a free download. We just want him to heard."

Beanie Sigel and 50 Cent to Debut New Track This Friday

The first official music pairing of 50 Cent and Beanie Sigel called “I Go Off” will debut this Friday (November 13) on Thisis50.com.

Utilizing the Friday the 13th movie franchise logo, the promo artwork features 50 and Beans doing a faceoff with the tagline “The Nightmare Begins.”

Last week, Sigel and 50 made an appearance on Philly’s Power 99 station to explain their partnership.

During the interview, Sigel verified his signing with G Unit, and his intentions to continue more diss records like “Average Cat” to his former mentor Jay-Z.

“He's a crumb. I’m putting my foot on his neck ‘til he responds. Please make a record, ‘cause a week been out dog,” Sigel stated. “Not taking nothing from Jay as an artist. All I’m saying is I ain’t gotta jog to keep up with him. Watch what I do next.”

Since the interview, there has been no official confirmation if Beanie Sigel is legally signed to G Unit Records.

At press time, neither 50 Cent or Beanie have revealed if the new “I Got Off” track will address the Jay-Z situation further.

Beanie Joins G-Unit: 'I'm Putting My Foot On His Neck'

50 Cent’s efforts to support former Roc-a-Fella Records artist Beanie Sigel seem to have resulted in a deal to bring the Broad Street Bully to G-Unit Records.

Both artists confirmed the move during a private screening of 50’s directorial debut, Before I Self Destruct on Tuesday evening (November 3) in Philadelphia.

The presentation was hosted by Power 99 (WUSL-FM), which allowed fans the opportunity to win tickets to the screening .

Sigel joined 50 towards the end of an on-air interview with “The Hot Boyz” Mikey Dredd and Uncle O, leading to a candid ten minute conversation.

During the interview, 50 and Beans revealed that “Beans is coming to G-Unit,” with no additional details as to how soon the new partnership might yield an album or single.

The interview also presented a chance for Sigel to respond to Jay-Z’s reaction to “Average Cat.”

“People think that I’m just speaking out because I’m in the position that I am and I ain’t put no music out. Let’s go to Jay-Z’s rebuttal about the complaints of Beanie Sigel: the two Bentleys that I obtained, Jay-Z had nothing to do with that. That was a car from Damon Dash and from Kareem Burke.”

He goes on to explain that the car was given to him after a conversation between Dame and others revealed that Dash was in fact the owner and driver of the Bentley, at which point he no longer wanted to be seen driving the vehicle.

The other Bentley was given to him as a birthday present by Burkes, leaving him to pay the remaining balance on the car note.

“So, Beanie Sigel was driving around to Bentleys and had to pay $5100 a month. It’s not like you helped me attain all this wealth and gave me the two Bentleys. You didn’t give me a record label. It only cost a couple hundred dollars to search the name ‘State Property Records,’ nobody owned it; I think I paid another couple hundred dollars and I patented the LLC. So my record label only cost me $750, to say on a piece of paper that I own State Property Records, LLC. I did that on my own, you didn’t give me that. And what artists was on that label?”

Beans reveals that he was only a 20% partner in the State Property clothing line, with Jay-Z, Dame Dash and their Rocawear partners owning the rest.

Sigel had presented the idea to Dash as their relationship drew strength based on the rift between Jay and Dame, he says.

Even though he revealed that Damon Dash allegedly went behind his back and sabotaged State Property’s clothing product, Sigel admonished Jay-Z for what he refers to as continued unnecessary jabs at a man he’s clearly defeated.

“Take me out, Dame and Biggs were your mans from day one. If he [Dame] was messing up the money y’all should’ve been able to straighten that out. Whatever the gripe, you took everything from him already,” Sigel argued. “You took the clothing line, the record label, he has nothing. Now he’s going through financial difficulties. Then he loses his wife and gets a divorce. You feel that comfortable on a record to say ‘Lucky Lefty, kiss the wife goodnight for me.?’ You already killed the man, he’s dead already! Now you’re going to stand over top of him and urinate on him and stomp on him? You can do that? I got something to say about that."

On whether to expect more diss records, Sigel made it clear he would continue to go at Jay lyrically until he gets a response, and predicted he has the skill set to emerge vuictorious.

“He's a crumb. I’m putting my foot on his neck ‘til he responds. Please make a record, ‘cause a week been out dog,” he taunted.

“Not taking nothing from Jay as an artist. All I’m saying is I ain’t gotta jog to keep up with him. Watch what I do next,” Beans “said as he did the signature G Unit stuttering proclamation.

Max B Affliate Shot & Seriously Injured

An affliate of incarcerated rapper Max B was shot and seriously injured Saturday afternoon in Maryland's Parkville neighborhood.

According to reports, Hartford
Police say the shooting happened on Park Street at 2:30 Saturday afternoon in front of 1625 Park Street.

The victim's name has not been officially released, however manager Michael Goldberg confirms that the hip-hop artist "Hollywood Fergie," who also goes by the alias "Messiah," had been shot.

Goldberg says Hollywood Fergie had just finished recording a promotional video at the Signature Gold Jewelry
store on Park Street.

After the recording was finished, Fergie and a photographer left Signature Gold and was walking by the nearby Elegant Touch barbershop.

Witnesses to the shooting say they were then approached by two men, one of whom attempted to steal a gold necklace from Fergie. In the struggle that followed, the second suspect shot Fergie multiple times.

Fergie then stumbled into the barbershop, and the shooter followed him inside, shooting him several more times as he laid on the ground.

After visiting with his client, Michael Goldberg said the artist was optimistic and expects to make a full recovery. He says the rapper was struck twice in the abdomen, twice in the chest, once in the shoulder, and once in the elbow, all by a .22 caliber gun. Goldberg says that if the gun was of a higher caliber, the rapper may not be alive.

Hollywood Fergie, an alias the artist uses, also goes by the name "Messiah." According to Goldberg, Fergie has performed with several bigger-name acts, including opening for rapper 50 Cent.

Lil Wayne & Birdman Involved In Yet Another Legal Battle

Lil Wayne, Birdman, and Cash Money Records are involved in yet another legal battle over copyright claims.

Thomas Marasciullo is suing the rappers for copyright infringement, claiming he created some "Italian-styled spoken word recordings" for them in 2006, but did not give the pair permission to use them.

Marasciullo alleges the recordings were used on a number of songs on the rappers' joint album Like Father, Like Son as well as on some tracks on Birdman's CD 5 (Star) Stunna.

Marasciullo discovered his work had been used when his daughter discovered his "Respect" while trying buy a ring-tone version of the Aretha Franklin classic by the same name, the lawsuit said.

His son also became entangled in the case when he was fired from a recording engineer job at Cash Money Records after the father started demanding payment.

In recent years, Lil Wayne, Birdman, & Cash Money Records have been sued for copyright infringement over four times.
