A really big rap tour is exactly what the game needs right now. A rep for Soulja Boy Tell'em told MTV News that the rapper will be joining Lil Wayne on tour this summer, along with Young Jeezy and Wayne's fast-rising protégé Drake. Sources in Wayne's camp told MTV News they are confident that a tour with at least some of the four players will happen.
In May, Drake told MuchMusic about a similar tour that, at the time, was supposed to include Jay-Z.
"God willing, if everything goes according to plan and everybody's schedule is in place, then I will be on tour with some amazing people," Drake said. "One of them being Jay-Z, one of them being Lil Wayne, one of them being Young Jeezy and one of them being me."
Jay has lined up a tour this summer, with Ciara opening up some dates, that kicks off in Las Vegas on July 3.
Thursday night from the Los Angeles Lakers game, Soulja Boy Tell'em announced the tour on Twitter.
"TSA (Twitter Service Announcement) — I'm going on Tour with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy & Drake this summer! Get ya tickets ASAP!!!!" he Tweeted.
Dates for the tour are still being locked down.
Drake has been working on Rihanna's next album as well as his proper debut album. Soulja Boy has been in the lab recording, as has Young Jeezy. Wayne told us on Sunday that his long-awaited Rebirth album is done. It's now scheduled for an August 18 release, although a new single has not been announced.
"I wanted to grow, and show my growth as well," Wayne said after the MTV Movie Awards. "It's a difference from when you go in a room and come out and you're better and everyone says, 'How did you do that?' So with this album, I wanted everyone to see my growing pains."
Wayne recently wrapped up his I Am Music Tour with T-Pain, Gym Class Heroes, Gorilla Zoe, Keyshia Cole and others.

DJ AM plans to tell all.
The celebrity DJ has battled substance abuse, used gastric bypass surgery to treat obesity, dated a slew of Hollywood starlets and, of course, most recently fought for his life after that tragic plane crash.
It's no wonder he's planning on releasing his memoirs some day...
"I will definitely be writing a book," AM told us last night at Activision's DJ Hero launch at the Wiltern Theatre in L.A. "I'll work on it when I see the ending in sight. That may be a long time from now, but it will happen."
AM was on hand last night with best bud Travis Barker to open for an invite-only concert by Jay-Z and Eminem.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Usher, lovebirds Ryan Phillippe and gal-pal Abbie Cornish, Matthew McConaughey and Taraji P. Henson were among the boldfaced names hanging in the VIP area.
Even though Kim Kardashian is mocked in Eminem's new music, that didn't stop the E! reality star from having a good time. Also appearing to have a very good time? Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. A wobbly Ms. Ashlee was spotted leaving the VIP area with drink in hand and on the arms of a friend and a bodyguard.
It wasn't until midnight that Jay-Z finally hit the stage, performing snippets of "99 Bottles," "Swagger Like Us," and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," among others.
Eminem joined him on stage for their 2001 collaboration, "Renegade." Slim Shady then performed a solo set of five songs.

More than 10 years ago, a slew of young stars hit the pop charts. Although the queen bees were Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, back then, Mandy Moore held her own with hits like "Candy" and "I Wanna Be With You."
With Spears and Aguilera continually reinventing themselves but staying true to what Moore considers their "formula," the singer/actress has moved on with a throwback to a " '70s sort of Southern California pop sound" on her new album, Amanda Leigh.
"I kind of always knew we would all differentiate ourselves from one another," she told MTV News. "Musically, they've stuck to a formula that works for them and, obviously, has always proven successful. I don't think I found that same success singing music that really, at the end of the day, I wasn't happy singing."
But Moore said she wasn't trying to prove anything by jumping off that bandwagon. "It wasn't a bold gesture to try and show that I was an adult," she explained. "I sort of have taken my baby steps to get to where I am today. I feel comfortable singing the music that I'm singing, because it's coming from me, finally."
In fact, Moore helped write all the music on Amanda Leigh, making the album in Boston to stay away from the distractions of her life in New York and Los Angeles. "It's the record I've always wanted to make," she said of the LP, which debuted at #25 on the Billboard albums chart this week. "And I'm excited for people to hear it. It's sort of got a tinge of all the artists that I love and listen to on a consistent basis."
The album — which she said was inspired by Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchell and "maybe even a little McCartney" — was recorded on vintage equipment and with Moore's more mature view of life. Partly thanks to her marriage to rocker Ryan Adams, it is a far cry from the music and themes she sang about back in the day.
"I think I have a lot more information now, be it life experience, discovering new music. ... I know what I'm singing about now," she said. "Everything is really personal now, whereas before, I had no connection to it. It's deeper now. It's a bit more organic, because it's what I want to say."

Advertising adds a personality to the business and its product. The advent of modern technologies has made the rural population more techs –savvy than the urban population. Advertising, by painting on the walls, to spread messages are no more appreciated. Today with the penetration of mobile phones, cable television, with a better research technique in advertising, it follows the right strategies and initiatives to deliver the right message to the right consumer.
The small villages and towns that ones thought to be just a dot on the map are attracting attention of MNC’s.Television advertising which still holds a major share in spite the growth of internet and other media is the most leisure and preferred activity and so every ones first choice is still the television advertising.
Newspaper advertising is one of the most common forms of print advertising which has been effective for small businesses as well as services which targets the community through readership and circulation. The main disadvantage is that it gets cluttered and gets lost with the competitors ads. Magazine is a better form of print advertising as the readers are in a relaxed state of mind ,they can even save your ad and return as many times as they wish, to your printed ad.
In airport advertising the viewer ship has no escape route which is focused and compelling too has diverse target consumers from corporate leaders to decision makers that makes it the most interesting and challenging platform all over the world. New concepts and advanced design technology has changed the airport environment. Airport advertising has increased the airport revenue apart from aviation.
As the consumer steps out of his home or office their strikes outdoor advertising scooping off with its targeted messages. Outdoor advertising needs a low budget with small crew to start with, it has a quick response, reminds too often about their service. Mobile billboard trucks provide flexibility of location and time, even on traffic jams and remote parts of the town.
If radio advertising does not reach its target audience than it’s of now use, it still appeals a large audience even other media options available. It creates a lasting impression as its played repeatedly over specific time period but it is difficult to reach the target audience who does not listen to radio that is a major disadvantage attached to it. Radio advertising has greater return on investment as it reaches the right people at right time with right message at right cost.

Advertising is no more just another aspect which you might consider or even ignore for your business. The success of every service, product or entrepreneurship depends on the kind of advertising campaigns adopted by the owner. With gradual advancement of technology quite a number of mediums have come up which you can use for advertising purposes. In fact outdoor advertising helps a great deal in catching the eyes of millions of people. This particular opportunity of advertising has been exploited by quite a number of brands and companies.
The roads and space at the airports are considered one of the best places for outdoor advertising. This is the reason why often you get to see the large hoardings which are meant for airport advertising. These hoardings can differ in appearance and size. The large hoardings cost much higher than the smaller or medium ones. But this is a true fact that in airport advertising the larger ad spaces help you with much better exposure than regular advertisements.
Television Advertising
Television advertising is probably the most popular way to promote anything and everything. You need to buy a certain time span during which the advertisements will show up on the television screen. Every channel has different terms and conditions regarding the advertisements which you need to agree with before signing up. You can also choose the slot in which you wish to see the advertisements. Television advertising makes the things very simple and hence is a very powerful media to attract public.
Print Advertising
Print advertising is equally effective in creating an impact on the masses. Now the print media includes magazines, newspapers and all other printed materials. But the only problem with Print advertising is that it can address only the educated people. Even though there is a large section of people who indulge in reading newspapers or even simply browsing through the headlines and in the mean time they will take a look at the advertisement which will serve the purpose indeed.
Radio Advertising
Radio advertisements are probably an older way to promote things but this is true that they have time-tested effects on the masses as almost every individual, literate or illiterate can feel the appeal of vocal ads. Radio advertising needs no special consideration like television or computer and never affects your time.
With the on growing popularity of web, the Internet advertisements are taking rapid pace and this is the reason why more number of entrepreneurs is focusing on their online presence and advertisements. With the advent of computing technology, almost every house has a computer and a broadband connection. Keeping this in mind, internet advertising has now become a hot cake and the best means for advertisers to make the best profit.
If you are about to set-up a business or already into it, select one or more advertising media as this will increase the yields of your business by several folds.

| Each week we, as people, are bombarded with images of supposed celebrities, alongside comments that are dreamed up over coffee in media offices around the world (“Just look at her dress – how wonderful / ugly / whorish” *delete as appropriate). Of course, many people make a living from this – photographers, editors and even the stars themselves, right down to the girl who works in the Starbucks around the corner. That’s how the economy works, with each section having a knock-on effect on the next. However, while the girl in Starbucks is selling something real, in that you can drink it, what are the celebrity gossip pages selling? They are selling two things, it seems. They sell fact and fiction, or dreams and normality. With one stroke they show us the red carpet shots from a glamorous premiere, we see the flashy cars, bespoke suits, designer dresses, camera flashes and air kisses. We see a champagne lifestyle, holidays in whichever destination is deemed the place to be (seen) and luxury mansions. We are sold a dream. A “wouldn’t it be nice.” However, even as we place our admiration or adoration on the perfect bodies, elite social circles and ostentatious displays of wealth, the cult of celebrity has a way of introducing a dirty side. Like a glass of wine across a designer frock, the sellers of celebrity bring those in the limelight back down to earth. The slightest fashion misstep or a bad hair day can be enough to set off a media-driven frenzy of neck rolling and head shaking. Let alone a real drama such as that which Chris Brown and Rihanna have been caught up in of late. The problem is that all too often we are encouraged to see celebrities as pillars of society, as bastions of grace and good taste. However, this is a tall order – one, which even those who are trained in such a demanding dignity, such as the British Royal Family – can find leads to easy failure. Where we should be glad of someone’s skill as a rapper, actor, musician or sportsperson it is easy to find ourselves wanting them to become a reflection of a perfect society. Whatever, nuance that ‘society’ may take on – as of course we expect different behaviour from The President, Will Smith and Snoop Dogg. Perhaps it’s about time we began to redraw the blueprint of celebrity. When a child says “I want to be famous” we have to ask, for doing what? A famous painter, architect, musician, sportsman? To see a goal is one thing, but when that goal is simply a media-driven fame-for-any-reason mentality then we need to wonder what we are doing. And yes, positive role models are a good thing for all people – it’s just we need to remember that, without excusing the inexcusable, even positive role models might have a bad day…
