Odd Future let a film crew follow them around their hometown of Ladera, California (or is it Ladera Heights in LA?) for an entire day. It seems like a pretty suburban town in Cali. Mostly they just goof around and cook to Waka Flocka. (Props Nigel)

According to TMZ, T.I. has officially been released from a prison in Arkansas.

“Chris Burke, spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, tells us T.I. was released at 7:29 AM local time … and is “in transit” to begin the next leg of his sentence.”

This comes as some great but confusing news. MTV initially stated that T.I. would be coming home this week but then XXL spoke to his lawyer who said he wouldn’t touch down until Sept. 29th.

Say tuned for more on this developing story.

With Watch The Throne and Tha Carter IV both in stores now, the next major rap release many are anticipating is Drake’s Take Care. The sophomore album scheduled to be released on the Canadian’s birthday (October 24) will drop in two ways: a 15-17 track physical edition and a special birthday edition on iTunes that’ll include more songs. Drake breaks down the release process, his thoughts on Watch The Throne, his relationship with Rick Ross and working with Stevie Wonder with EW‘s Brad Wete.

On Take Care release plans:

Obviously, I can only fit so many songs on a CD. So what I’m doing is there will be a Take Care physical edition in stores that’ll hopefully have 15 to 17 songs on it. Then I know a lot of people do deluxe editions. But since October 24 is a special day for me, I got, like, a Take Care birthday edition that I’m going to put on iTunes that will have extra songs. I really want to encourage people to be excited about the album releasing. I remember how excited a lot of artists used to make me. I used to want to buy the physical copy to see the artwork. And if there were any bonus tracks, I’d go find them. I’m definitely trying to cause some of that excitement. I hope people go get the songs off the birthday edition. It’s going to be great, man. I’ve got a wide array of music this time. I’m very excited.
