VIDEO: Drake talks About his New Track with Jay-Z
MTV:
It's done. Drake's collaboration with Jay-Z, "Light Up," is finally finished. The Toronto lyricist had been hopeful all year that he and Hov could connect in the studio.
"Everybody is looking for this one joint with me and Jay, so that needs to happen," Drake told MTV News back in June. "My goal at this point is to keep making that organic music. I don't wanna feel pressure now that I have a single and music that's hot."
Drake recently sat down with MTV News in his Canadian hometown and explained how the song, produced by Tone Mason and co-produced by his October's Very Own cohort Noah "40" Shebib, came to fruition.
The track will be included on the rapper's forthcoming debut, Thank Me Later, tentatively slated for a March 2010 release.

No Charges for Lil' Wayne in Recent Drug Bust
TMZ:"Looks like Lil' Wayne will walk away from the other day's drug bust in Texas unscathed, at least according to his lawyer.
"Lil' Wayne, along with 11 other people, was detained yesterday in Falfurrias, Tex. by the United States Border Patrol after marijuana was discovered on board his tour bus.
"The Border Patrol says Wayne and the others were questioned and charges are pending. His lawyer tells TMZ that while some people did receive citations, Lil' Wayne was not one of them.
"Lil' pled guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon stemming from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus. He is set to spend a year in jail and will appear for sentencing in February 2010.
"The Laredo Entertainment Center, where Lil' Wayne was supposed to perform last night but didn't, tells TMZ he will perform there tonight to make up for the canceled show."

Lil' Wayne Detained by Texas Border Patrol for Marijuana Possession
MTV News:
Lil Wayne and an entourage travelling with him through Texas have been detained by authorities after U.S. Border Patrol agents found marijuana on the rapper's two tour buses.
The Cash Money lyricist was stopped by agents on Friday (December 18) while en route to a scheduled performance in Laredo, Texas. The stop was reportedly routine, but after a Border Patrol K-9 smelled the drug odor, authorities searched the rapper's two tour buses. Both vehicles were found to be carrying marijuana onboard, according to a spokesman for the agency.
A total of 12 individuals were detained for the offense, Joe Trevino, an agent with the Border Patrol, told MTV News.
The incident occurred shortly before 3 p.m. local time and the group was still being held even as Lil Wayne's scheduled performance was set for 7:30 p.m. The concert was postponed as a result of the no-show by the rapper, according to the venue's Web site. Lil Wayne also as a show scheduled in Texas on Saturday, though it's uncertain if he'll perform as of press time.
A press release issued to MTV News by the Border Patrol on Friday night said the rapper's case has been referred to the Brooks County Sheriff's Office in Falfurrias, Texas.
No charges have been brought up against the group, according to spokesmen for both the Border Patrol and at the Brooks County Sheriff's office. When contacted by MTV News, both outlets said investigations are underway. A legal expert who spoke to MTV News advised that authorities can hold suspects for up to 24 hours without charging them.
The ordeal comes at an inconvenient time for Lil Wayne. He's due in a New York court on February 9, where he's expected to be sentenced to up to one year in prison for attempted gun possession stemming from a 2007 arrest in Manhattan. The rapper also has had legal troubles in Arizona, where he was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.

2011 Audi A8: The first production vehicle equipped with Google Earth
"Among the myriad of technological features coming to the 2011 Audi A8, its revised Multi Media Interface system, complete with the new "MMI touch" feature, will also include the first application of Google Earth in a production car.
"In addition to the traditional hard-disk navigation system, an optional GPRS/EDGE modem is integrated into the MMI nav-plus system allowing a constant stream of information to be downloaded and accessed from Google. Along with GPS-based searches for local services, users can plan out their trips on Google Maps, Google Earth or through Audi's online portal, and navigation data is analyzed and relayed to all the A8's systems, including the automatic cruise control with "Start & Go" functionality, the adaptive lights and the eight-speed automatic gearbox.
"With a SIM card inserted into the A8's MMI setup (or data-enabled phone paired via Bluetooth) Google Earth can provide drivers with a three-dimensional view of their surroundings displayed on the A8's eight-inch LCD display, showing satellite imagery and terrain modeling, along with all the traditional navigation system's functionality both online and off. The integration of Google Earth is set to go live on the A8 sometime in the middle of 2010, soon after Audi's new flagship goes on sale in the spring."
