We do not make the rankings so do not cry to us that you deserve to be on the list. Ask yourself this ? Are your mixtapes only online ? Are your mixtapes covered with lame datpiss logos and wack coast2coast logos ? Are your mixtapes just a itunes playlist ? Are your mixtapes just a bunch of tracks you downloaded from the blogs ? Are your mixtapes put out without a intro ? Are your mixtape covers home made ? If you answered yes to any of these questions then that is probably a big reason why you are not in the top 100 Mixtape DJs on the planet.

Floyd Mayweather will make a Minimum of $32 Million for the fight Tonight

LAS VEGAS — What can you buy for $32 million? Well, late Saturday night, after his bout with Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand Garden has ended, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will find out. According to the Nevada Athletic Commission, Mayweather is guaranteed $32 million for Saturday’s match for the World Boxing Association super welterweight championship, the largest guarantee for a boxer in history. That, however, is only a guarantee. Mayweather will also take home a hefty share of the pay-per-view profits and will make significantly more. No one is saying, but Mayweather said during an interview on Tuesday that it could be upwards of $100 million. No doubt, that was hyperbole, but he’s going to be paid very well for risking his 42-0 record against the Puerto Rican star.

His guarantee surpasses the $30 million guarantee given to Mike Tyson for his 1997 fight with Evander Holyfield. Cotto is guaranteed $8 million, so the combined $40 million payouts are less than the combined $41 million given to Tyson and Holyfield. Holyfield earned $11 million for that fight. Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, couldn’t say how much more Mayweather would make, other than it is a lot. This is the largest guarantee ever in Nevada. Ever. And where are the big fights held? In Nevada. In pure dollars, Mayweather has the record. Adjusted for inflation, though, Tyson’s mark might still be the record. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics site, a $30 million payment in 1997 would equate to $42.9 million in 2012 dollars. Both men easily made weight. Cotto weighed in on the number at 154. Mayweather weighed in at a career-high 151. The two had a lengthy staredown, far longer than normal, and began jawing at each other. At the MGM Grand sports book, Mayweather is now nearly an 8-1 favorite

MCA of the Beastie Boys Dies

Adam “MCA” Yauch, a founding member of the pioneering rap band Beastie Boys, died Friday after a nearly three-year battle with cancer, the band’s publicist said. A torrent of Twitter messages from entertainers lauded Yauch, 47, as a visionary musical artist, filmmaker and humanitarian. “He stood for integrity as an artist. What a loss. He was a very good man,” said actor Ben Stiller. Yauch revealed in 2009 that he had a cancerous tumor in a salivary gland. As a result, the band canceled its scheduled concerts and delayed the release of an album. “I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that, like you’d feel if you have a cold, so I didn’t really think it was anything,” he said then in a video to fans. Yauch, a self-taught bassist and vocalist, underwent surgery to treat the tumor that year. The Beastie Boys burst on the music scene in 1986 with the album “Licensed to Ill,” which included hits such as “(You Gotta) Fight for the Right (to Party”), an anthem to teen angst; “Brass Monkey” and “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.” The group came together for the first time to play at Yauch’s 17th birthday party, its publicist said. Yauch was the oldest of the Beastie Boys, an only child who grew up in Brooklyn Heights, according to Current Biography magazine. The band, which also featured Michael “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Adrock” Horovitz, sold more than 40 million records.

Yauch was unable to attend the band’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last month. Horovitz read Yauch’s acceptance letter. Yauch converted to Buddism in the 1990s after visiting Nepal and hearing the Dalai Lama speak in Arizona, he told the Buddhist magazine Shambhala sun in 1995.

“It just seemed like Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism — because that’s mainly what I’ve been exposed to — was a real solid organization of teachings to point someone in the right direction,” the magazine quoted him as saying. “Some real well thought out stuff. But I don’t know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.” The conversion led him to have second thoughts about the bawdy party-boy image the band portrayed in the 1980s, he told the Boston Globe in 1998. “I didn’t realize how much harm I was doing back then and I think a lot of rap artists probably don’t realize it now,” the newspaper quoted him as saying. “I said a lot of stuff fooling around back then, and I saw it do a lot of harm. I had kids coming up to me and saying, ‘Yo, I listen to your records while I’m smoking dust, man.’ And I’d say, ‘Hey, man, we’re just kidding. I don’t smoke dust.’ People need to be more aware of how they’re affecting people.”  He founded the Milarepa Fund, which helped raise money for the effort, and organized charity concerts involving the Beastie Boys and other acts, including the first Tibetan Freedom Concert in 1996. Several similar concerts followed. Yauch founded Oscilloscope Laboratories, which was active in independent video distribution. Its founder directed the basketball documentary “Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot,” released in 2008. “Adam was incredibly sweet and the most sensitive artist, who I loved dearly,” said music impresario Russell Simmons. “I was always inspired by his work. He will be missed by all of us.” Yauch is survived by his wife, Dechen, and a daughter, according to the band’s publicist.

Birdman trying to sign 16 year old Chief Keef

“I like him, he kinda reminds me of us,” said Birdman in an interview with MTV News. “He’s out the streets, I think he’s swagged up and I’m definitely talking to his people and I’d like to see if we can make it pop, see if I can see if I can get him to be down with the team.”

“That’s what I like, it’s a movement and he’s young, I think the game needs young blood all the time,” he said. “We need youngsters to keep it innovative, because they’re new and creative in their own way. I’m into the young world, that’s my thing. And I’ma do whatever it takes to make it happen.”
