Who is having the best week ever? CHIEF KEEF! First, the 16-year-old Chicago spitter gets Kanye West, Pusha T, Jadakiss, and Big Sean to be featured on his “I Don’t Like” Remix . Now, Cash Money’s Birdman is on his tracks. In a recent interview with MTV News, Birdman said,

“I like him, he kinda reminds me of us. [He's] out the streets, I think he’s swagged up and I’m definitely talking to his people and I’d like to see if we can make it pop, see if I can see if I can get him to be down with the team.”

Birdman also went on to say, “And I’ma do whatever it takes to make it happen.” Is this an official invite to the Cash Money Family? I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see what happens. You can watch the entire interview above.

As if we don’t love DJ Khaled’s ”Take It To The Head” enough already, he’s now creating visuals to accompany the summer anthem. Khaled called on Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne to be featured on the track and in the video. Other friends like Drake, Birdman and Busta Rhymes also made cameo appearances in what looks like a mini movie in the making. With elaborate sets and special effects all over the place, Khaled is definitely attempting to make the video as popular as the song. “Take It To The Head” is the first single off his upcoming release, “Kiss The Ring.”   

The YMCMB generals, Birdman and Mack Maine, drop the visuals for their track B Boyz, which was debuted at the end of last year off their mixtape Billionaire Minds II. The track features Kendrick Lamar and Ace Hood, with the video directed by the man known as Derick G and song produced by The Olympicks. Check it out above.

First, there was music, and then there were books. Now, the Cash Money family is tackling another media outlet; movies. The label’s Co-Owner, Birdman, recently shared the details on the upcoming film entitled “Rich Gang“ with XXL Magazine.

“We start shooting that in the fall. That’s the whole team, that’s like a 2012 Balla Blocking. The Rich Gang movie is about the team. Everybody is going to be the star of it, but Wayne will be the center of it. It’s about the team, everybody that’s on the label. … I would like them [to] just be themselves. I’m not gonna tell no n*gga to go to acting school. Just be yourself. We’re excited as a brand about it. Tyga, everybody is like, ‘Stunna, let’s do a movie.’ We got a few of them lined up and we gonna shoot them.” 

We already know Drake and Nicki have acting experience and great Lil Wayne impersonations, but it will be nice to see how the rest of the CMB family shows off their acting skills. While there is no anticipated release date,  it may take a while to film with all the artists’ busy schedules. Can’t wait to see it in theaters.

The Hip-Hop Wired crew traveled down to Miami, Florida a few weeks ago to get up with famed photographer Derick G. Derick G. is a behind the scenes photographer for the YMCMB crew and has shot for many people including Snoop Dogg, DJ Khaled, Lil’ Wayne, Drake and more. In this video, Derick G. talks about meeting Birdman and how doing something he wasn’t supposed to do led him to a full time gig.

It’s about that time of the year again as Forbes releaes their top 5 Wealthiest Hip Hop Artist of 2012. Reminiscent to last year, Diddy lands at the number one spot with a net worth of around 550 Million Dollars. The top five artist along with their net worth are below and the artist on the list shouldn’t surprise you at all. I guess Jay-Z shouldn’t have switched from Grey Goose to Ciroc to give Puff’s stock a boost.

1. Diddy – $550 Million
2. Jay-Z – $460 Million
3. Dr. Dre – $270 Million
4. Birdman – $125 Million
5. 50 Cent – $100 Million

YMCMB‘s very own Shanell is back and ready to make us feel just right with the upcoming video release for her single ‘So Good‘. The video is directed by Director X, who just recently made his return with Drake‘s ‘HYFR‘ video. Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee will star in the video as Shanell’s love interest, with Lil’ Wayne and Birdman making their trademark cameos. This is the beginning of a new era for Shanell, as she is currently on the first leg of her radio tour to promote the song before she releases her 2nd mixtape, Nobody’s Bitch. You can check out more photos from he set as well as the song.
