T-Pain x I Am T-Pain. As we reported earlier this month, T-Pain’s iPhone app “I Am T-Pain” has been downloaded over 300,000 times grossing the producer close to $1 million. Although some thought it would just be a passing fad, Apple has recently reported their top grossing iPhone applications and “I Am T-Pain” is still going strong at #9.

It is currently out grossing top apps such as EA’s FIFA Soccer, The Sims 3, Scrabble and Monopoly. Although it seems every hip-hop artist these days is coming out with their own iPhone apps as an alternative revenue stream, only T-Pain can really claim true million dollar success.

Although Common’s Universal Mind Control album is over a year old there always is room for a new music video. Here is the new video to “Make My Day” which features Cee-Lo.

Alicia gets sexed up in this new promo pic for her upcoming album “The Element of Freedom.” Will be interesting to see if any of her females fans have been turned off by her homewrecking activities. By the way…interesting spikey jeans. Would hate to get kneed in the groin with those.

Birdman x Louis Vuitton. The recession is now over. Rappers are spending money on luxury goods like Louis Vuitton once again. Proof? Just check out the shopping trip Cash Money’s Birdman takes to the LV superstore in Paris…and the $50K receipt he shows off. That’s a lot of purses.
