Foo Fighters Kick Back, Talk Film at SXSW
The Foo Fighters spent Wednesday afternoon promoting their new documentary, "Back and Forth," away from the hustle and bustle of South By Southwest in the bucolic confines of the Zilker Club House.

"Ever since Lil Wayne went in to jail, that whole little stint [between me and him] is really dead and over with," says Pusha, who is readying the new mixtape "Fear of God." "I don't have any ill will towards Wayne, Cash Money, or any of them. There was definitely a time period when I felt a certain way [about him], but as of right now I don't." ( Rap Radar)
