Songs about Strippers

The T-Pain Lil Wayne album (T-Wayne) is about to be absolutely bananas. We've been very critical of our work in the studio, trying to make a cd of all hits no filler, but this T-Wayne is about to be completely hits. Not to mention, they're somehow still making songs about strippers, even ballads... This first video is probably the best music video I've seen since they started putting flash in music videos.

Pressing questions:

What is Lil wayne saying? How did T-Pain make the words "mansion" and "wisconsin" rhyme?

A few strippers we know, and a few we don't, been dancing to "Slave", which I guess was bound to happen, strange of all the songs (Boom, Sex Sells, etc) that that's the one that caught on, but it is the most pertinent... Strip clubs and hip hop are a huge breaking ground for local music, and one that's not nearly taken advantage of out here, especially compared to the South. And as our budgets get bigger these things begin to get incorporated :) We've got special CDs for DJs and for strip clubs, just a few songs on each with different versions, coming out trying to take advantage of these niche markets. If we give a DJ a CD he'll probably play it, but it we give him a CD with bpms listed and acapellas they can really incorporate it into their sets.

About to do Halloween at Party Foul at Homme, which is going to be completely ridiculous, and probably the show I'm looking forward to most even over Shwayze. Kevin, Bigie, Epi and everyone else seem to really have their game together down in Phoenix, I haven't been able to come by yet but everything I hear about is that it's RIDICULOUS and they really took good advantage of the Glam fallout and made it crack.

Spent the day today at the Princess up North, which was CRACKIN, packed almost full, but it was like a half hour to get a drink, it was like a badly planned Rehab knockoff... Ah, Scottsdale. We got it in at the kiddie pool a block down and then went over for a few hours, then ended up at Loco Patron where me and one of the Lyte bartenders discovered we'd been hitting on the same girl via text for a few months. Funny stuff, the clubs were ridiculous tonight, packed so fulI of the Scottsdale masses I went home, and wondered when I'll be able to get back to New York...
