On Twitter, Kanye West took it upon himself to finally apologize to Bruno Mars for disliking him and his music so much: “I also want to publicly apologize to Bruno Mars,  I used to hate on him but I really respect what he does as an artist. I also would love for Bruno to sing this hook on this song 88 Keys / Puff and I produced…   I even asked Tyler to shoot the vid.”

Rich Homie Quan feels that he has a grammy coming his way after he starts making music on his own: “I got too much good music that these people want to hear. I have been focusing more on myself. I’ve stepped away from Rich Gang, just to get back to Quan. These people want Quan.”

“Its been so long since I dropped a mixtape. I want to give em’ the Quan they know…I feel as if I can’t lose. This new sound honestly, I feel as if I have me a Grammy and that’s on everything.”

Childish Gambino discusses his career as of 2015, he says he now understands himself much more: “I think earlier it was a little hard just because I don’t think people understood what I was. That’s what I think it really is. I think when you make a lane it’s hard, because you’re trying to look at blueprints and you’re like, ‘Those don’t work.’ But this is a different thing. Now I kind of understand myself a lot more.”

 

During a phone call with Hot 97, Bobby Shmurda denied everything that police allegedly caught him with: “Nah, what they hearing about that night, that shit is not true,” Shmurda said. “The cops been out for me for forever. They been trying to slay me for forever, but they’ll never catch me with nothing. It might be like four, five cops that night that had just grabbed me up. They told me that ‘Yo, I don’t want my kids listening to your music. This and that.’”

Back to you, Bob! #NotSoBreakingNews.”

In a recent interview A$AP Ferg was asked about his sophomore album and had this to say “Man, I’m a perfectionist. I’ve got a lot of songs done, but I don’t know if they’re all right yet, It’s gonna be out before the summer probably. Probably a couple months, couple weeks, I just really want to put it out, I don’t want to talk too much about it.” Ferg says that he shows a lot of growth in this new album and that the fans will really appreciate it over everyone else.

John Legend caught everyone’s attention the night of the Oscar’s when he included a fact about the black community in his speech: “There are more black men under correctional control today then were under slavery in 1850.”

Childish Gambino says he enjoys endings and believes that the stage name, Childish Gambino is most likely coming to an end: “I guess Childish Gambino is like a period in my art time. I wanna have periods in my life. So I feel like Childish Gambino is a period that should come to a close. I like endings.”

 

Young Guru is said to be giving a lecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology: “Teaching is one of the things I’ve grown to love. My focus isn’t just on engineering, even though a lot of my class does cover that. They vary in range of the subject matter… We cover digital audio workstation, all the way to music history to critiquing the student’s songs and performances. It varies.”

The son of one of Hip-Hops most influential creators, Dr. Dre, has a new song out that is starting to heat up. The song is called Hall of Fame by an up-and-coming singer named Phil Crown featuring Curtis Young and the track has been getting a ton of radio play in Texas, Montana, and Oklahoma. It won’t be long before you hear this track everywhere. Curtis Young also is set to be in the upcoming reality show “Seeds of Hip Hop” which also features Eazy E’s son, MC Ren’s son, E40’s son, and Jam Master Jay’z son. The show is going to be about all the sons of successful hip-hop artist trying to make it on their own and should be pretty dope when it gets picked up by a major network.

The Drake and Tyga beef has been talked about for the last few weeks now and Chris Brown who is good friends with Tyga has started getting involved. In an interview over the last weekend Chris says that he is “not messing” with Drake and that they aren’t friends. But now it seems as though Drake has caught wind of Tyga and Chris talking about him in all these interviews and while in Auckland, New Zealand he decided to change a few of the lyrics in his song “Energy.” The lyrics he said in the song while performing live were “I got R&B niggas that I gotta act like I like” which replaced the original “RAP niggas” and is a jab at Chris Brown obviously. We’ll see if anything more comes out of this beef and keep you up to date.
