Jay-Z To Pop His Cherry-Pop Cherry
The career path of a from-the-streets hip-hop mogul: From slinging coke to shilling for Cherry Coke. Via Page 6:
JAY-Z has pocketed a cool $3 million for agreeing to relaunch Cherry Coke. The Def Jam president, never one to say no to a good financial deal, is launching the soda next Wednesday. One music industry insider sniped, "He is supposed to be focused on his label - not outside deals."This isn't surprising anybody, obvs. Sean Carter loves $$ AND, as he said in another paid advertisement ... "Expect Everything." Well guess it's still shocking a few. HipHopDX asks: "What's next, Hov? What's next?" Good, heartbroken question. Wish we had the answer ... but at least he looks happy!

Another box set? I thought the initial Drake resurgence sort of started with that box set that came out on CD in the early 90s, and that had the three studio albums, plus the first set of outtakes. Aside from perhaps including this new set of outtakes on top of all that, how different could it possibly be?

The 'box set' is just an updated re-release of the out of print Fruit Tree 3-albums set, with a DVD documentary thrown in. The Family Tree thing from his early home tapes seems like it might be more interesting... though you've got to wonder why they didn't put that stuff out with the rarities compilation from 2 years ago, if it's really worth hearing.
