The 58th Grammys this year is going to be a really special one on February 15th on L.A. Both Kendrick Lamar who is at the top of hip-hop right now and The Weeknd who is at the top of R&B right now will be performing this year. With those amazing performers and LL Cool J set to host for his fifth time plus Run DMC receiving the lifetime achievement award The Grammys has a huge hip-hop presence this year and it is amazing.
R. Kelly just did an interview with GQ where he opened up about his relationship with the late great Aaliyah, his weird occasional habit of sleeping in his closet and how he questions all Bill Cosby accusers. But the weirdest thing is that Kelly actually claims that he does not know who Dave Chappelle is which most find very hard to believe. This is probably because as everyone knows R. Kelly allegedly urinated on an underage girl back in 2002 and Dave Chappelle roasted him for it on his show the “Chappelle Show” with the song “I Want To Piss On You” in it. So he must still be really salty about that because there is no way he doesn’t know who one of the most iconic black comedians is.
Chris Brown took to his Instagram to make sure his fans knew all about his brand new clothing label called Black Pyramid. Until now you might of only seen famous people like Rihanna wearing the gear but now Chris wants to make it affordable and for the average people. It is streetwear that changes popular sports logos and makes them unique to Browns style. The whole collection of clothing it said to be on his website Mechanical Dummy for sale really soon so of course his fans are going to be all over it.
Flint, Michigan is having a hard time with a major water crisis and 90,000 people having been exposed to the toxic waters. Now as previously reported Meek Mill was saying he was going to donate 50k to Flint and he wanted 50 Cent to match it. Today it has come out that he has delivered on his promise and donated 50k to Flint Child and Family Health Development and also donated 60,000 bottle of water to their food bank which is very generous. It is great that Meek is doing good deeds but he still has his trail looming over his head set for February 5th and 50 Cent has not slowed down his shot taking over Instagram.
Jamie Foxx discovered a car on fire and over turned just outside his gate at his home. Jamie did what most people wouldn’t and sprung into action after dialing 911 and making sure they were on their way he ran to the car and unbuckled the man driving dragging him to safety along with another person who was in the area who has not yet been named. TMZ is saying that the man was taken to the hospital and treated for his injuries which included burns. The reason for the crash is being blamed on wet roads at this time but police say that the man has been charged before with driving under the influence so only time will tell. Either way though Jamie did the right thing and saved a life.

Just yesterday it was found out that Birdman and Lil Wayne seemed to have settled their differences and were out at club LIV together. At the club Birdman gave a speech basically saying they are family and he would do anything for Wayne. Now Rick Ross heard about this and wasn’t to happy about it and took to his Snapchat where he raps “I’m a real player/them n*ggas kissed and they made up” so it looks like Ross is not rocking with either of them anymore and this beef could definitely grow from here. Check out the clip below.
Biopics are all the rage now days after the huge success of “Straight Outta Compton” and now we have a pretty serious Tupac biopic coming in the near future. RZA has now spoken with Rolling Stone talking about a Ol’ Dirty Bastard biopic “I think it’s a great idea, and there has been talk about it, there are a few wheels in motion with one done by our first cousin Rayshawn; he was the young guy there watching everything that happened. Him and ODB’s wife have been talking and he has a pretty interesting script. I just saw a 12-minute teaser that he shot about a year ago and it felt pretty fucking cool. I watched it and was like, ‘Wow, you may have something here.’ He has the best thing that I’ve seen so far.” RZA continues “I wouldn’t mind not doing it and I wouldn’t mind doing it. From the age of six, me and [ODB] used to push shopping carts around grocery stores and try to get nickels. There are very few people who know the real him as much as me. So it would be something that I would be honored to do, but there’s a lot of moving parts to it. If those moving parts don’t go in sync with me, I’ll still be on it just to see it happen, talk to whoever’s doing it and give them my interviews or whatever they need to help make this story as great as possible.” Hopefully this does happen because as someone who doesn’t know much about Ol’ Dirty Bastard and other people like me from my generation we could get a good look into his life.
This story plays out the same every single time but Bobby Shmurda the rapper who had a hit song “Hot Nigga” two Summers ago has had his bail denied again. Today his lawyers were in court today with a bond package just like they had back in December and it was denied yet again and no one has any idea where they are getting the money but they keep trying to use it. Next for Shmurda is trail on February 22nd where he will be tried for his girlfriend trying to sneak a weapon into prison for him so thinks just don’t look good for him.
The beef may finally be over and everything could go back to normal because both Lil Wayne and Birdman were seen in Miami’s Club LIV. Birdman took to the stage with Wayne and their crews and had this to say about him. “This my motherfucking son, and I’mma die for him, I’mma live for him, and I’mma motherfucking kill for him. That ain’t gonna never change, nigga. It’s YMCMB for life.” So now that it is said and done only time will tell if the whole lawsuit is dropped as well but it would make sense if it is.
Ice Cube showed up to “The Talk” last Friday and in his interview he teased all the fans with the possibility that NWA will reunite. It is obvious that he is not supposed to say too much about it but it would be amazing if it does actually happen. Cube is set to be at Coachella alone on Saturday night but honestly what are the odds of that so stay tuned for more details as they come to light. Check out the clip from “The Talk” below.
J. Cole is a married man and did not feel the need to tell the whole world about it and make it a huge deal.

As we all know 50 Cent has been posting all sorts of meme over the last two days of Meek Mill because Meek decided to diss him on one of the tracks off his recent 4/4 EP. Meek decided to turn things around on him by accepting a fans plea for help. “Somebody tell Meek Mill and 50 Cent the ppl in Flint, Michigan could use some water.. Their lives depending on it.. #DontWasteEachOthersTime,” the fan said over social media and Meek reposted it saying “I got 50k to donate to waters … Let’s see if we can have @50cent match me! I’m pretty sure “flint” supported us! Serious post contact …. Roc nation will purchase for me and ship! Not even just him all entertainers! I ain’t got the tine posting memes and shit… “Way too trill for that” @dallaslifestyle it’s my dawg hometown too! #FORMLKDAY” Meek said so we’ll see if 50 matches his 50k but until then keep it right here for any updates on this ongoing beef.
We recently got just a very small snippet of Kanye West upcoming track “No Parties In L.A.” which features Kendrick Lamar. Kim Kardashian took to twitter once again to announce that GOOD FRIDAYS are indeed coming back the reason we did not get any new music from Ye last Friday is because he flew out to Italy for the Milan Fashion Week. But she does say that Kanye took his engineer with him and had written 90 bars on the plane ride for the track and they went straight to the studio when they landed. This is Kanye’s first song with Kendrick and it is going to be an amazing track when we get it which should be within the next couple of days.
Meek Mill released his 4 track EP yesterday and on it was a 50 Cent diss on the track called “Gave ‘Em Hope”. “LMAO Hey shit head, your career is over already.you better focus on getting Nikki pregnant so you can at least get child support girl,” 50 said on the caption of a photo of a pile of poop with Meek Mills face on it. Then Meek responded real quick saying that 50 is on social media all day everyday and talked about him owing Rick Rosses baby mama a ton of money and adding that everyone in queens says that he’s a rat. So Meek was hitting him with some pretty personal real topics but 50 came right back with the memes that you can check out below.
Because people are calling me MEEKA, LMAO. #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO

Lil Wayne had a performance at the Milan fashion week but it ended very quickly on Saturday. Wayne only got out a few lines from his song “John” before he turned to the stage and asked “Is this what you want me to do? You serious?” he then throws his mic and walks out. The reasoning came out to be that they were having technical difficulties with his mic and it frustrated him enough to end the show early. Now Wayne got into a cab right after that and drove off but the interesting is Kanye West was also in Italy and actually was in the studio finishing up some music so who knows maybe Wayne caught up with him but only time will tell so keep it locked right here.
