In an interview with Vogue magazine Nicki Minaj opens up about her thoughts on the “single life” and talks about all the rumors that have been circulating around. When she was asked about Meek Mill “Sometimes we hang out, and when we hang out, we have fun. [laughs] This is what I want to say about him: People think for some strange reason that we just started becoming friends recently. We’ve been friends for a very, very long time, and he’s been around for a lot of things that I’ve gone through. And that’s all I’ll say about that,” Nicki Minaj and Meek have yet to confirm that they are together though but only time will tell.

After the whole beef between Drake and Tyga, Daylyt gave a public message to Tyga: “Don’t say anything about Drake. Not one tweet, not nothing or we are going to come touch you bro. We came and took that chain the first time and we can do it again. I just want to make some shit known and make some shit loud and clear and niggas better get my message,” he said. “Tyga, all that shit, just let it go… I don’t wanna see no more tweets, none of that shit my nigga. Like I told ya’ll I’m fucking with Drake. I fuck with the OVO movement. It’s official my nigga so it’s ride or die and I’m riding or dying with OVO. I don’t give a fuck about you from Cali. That shit don’t mean nothing to me bro.”

Kanye West discussed his recent success during an interview: “I feel like I’m Eminem, you know?” he said. “You don’t think ‘white rapper.’ You just think Eminem. You don’t think celebrity designer, straight designer, black designer, all these types of things that kind of held me back conceptually in being accepted as a designer. You just think of those words. But when those moon boots come out, you put them on your feet and just swag out and go somewhere with your friends, those words don’t matter.”

Amber Rose told reporters about her time while going through divorce: “I sat in the house and cried for four months straight. Everyday, all day, when I woke up, when I went to bed. In the middle of the night…Wiz was the love of my life. He broke my heart. You know, now, it’s months later and I’m just trying to date. I just want nice guys. That’s it.”

“Since I filed for divorce my husband has been out with 50 different women,” she said. “Pulling sweaty white bitches out the club. All these other girls, I ain’t even gonna talk shit, all these other girls, do whatever. Not only was I in the house crying everyday, mourning my husband. You know, I had to see that on top of it. And I’m in the house. I was like, ‘You know what Chy?’ (my friend) ‘Maybe we should go out tonight. Maybe I should go out and just have a couple drinks, let loose a little bit.’ Chris Brown, I did Chris Brown’s video seven years ago. He’s been my friend for such a long time. I wasn’t like, ‘I’m gonna go to the club and be all over the Internet.’ He was there and we danced for like 20 seconds. Yes it was petty. It was so petty. But that’s what happens as women when you get your feelings hurt, you’re in a very vulnerable state to be petty at times. That was one of those times.”

Diddy has unresolved issues with Drake, a producer recently spoke to sources about where the problem allegedly started: “No it was called something really generic and stupid like, “Vibes” or something. Originally it was a three minute idea that had all these different parts and I didn’t really write it with any intent of it being used for Drake or for anyone in particular. I just kinda wrote it and gave it to Boi-1da, who was in session at the time in Miami, this was with Diddy. This was like the whole controversy of the incident. From what I understand he made the beat on the spot, played it for Diddy and Diddy passed on it, he said it wasn’t life changing enough and that was that. Then fast forward, “0 to 100” becomes this huge hit and then there’s this weird… whatever happened there? I don’t know, but as far as I understand that’s how it went down.”

Drake set the internet a blaze late last night dropping “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.” While most people are enjoying this album Tyga is still not very happy with Drake. Tyga made sure to take to twitter to say what he had to say but quickly changed his mind and deleted the tweet. But this being the internet nothing is truly gone forever. Tyga tweeted out “Drake u still a bitch. All that sneak dissing is weak. Just pull up. I know where u live and you know my address..U been ducking the fade from Brown.” We will keep you up to date on any information on this beef as it comes to light.

With Drake surprising everyone last night with his album “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” twitter was blowing up with a Drake song being nearly every trending topic. This surprise album is meant to hold all the fans over until “Views from The 6 drops” but being Drake it is going to be doing numbers. It is expected to do 500,000 units by Sunday which is only three days which isn’t even a full week of being out. Be sure to keep it locked for official numbers from Billboard which will arrive sometime next week.

During a fashion show in Brooklyn that Kanye West was hosting for his new “Yeezy Boost” shoe Ye got more than just a runway show.

Will Smith mentioned a new project involving Kanye West, during an interview: “I went into the studio with Kanye,” he said at a screening of his new film, Focus. “I’m thinking about it. I’m exploring. My son tells me I have to write out the things I don’t like,” Smith says. “I can’t write and stop. I have to keep going and going and write them out. I’ve never worked like that before but I think I might give that a shot.”

Many have their theories of Hip Hop involved with illuminati, Questlove explains his views on the illuminati theory and Jay Z’s involvement: “That folklore has always been sort of prevalent in all of music,” he explained. “I guess it’s unprecedented how most people think Jay Z is the Illuminati leader. And often times, even though I don’t believe it, I’ve been in a few situations in which I feel uncomfortable with how comfortable they are being in front of me,” he continued. “Like, we’re friends and so sometimes I feel like ‘oh I shouldn’t have seen that’ and now they’re going to kill me.”

 

 

After Kanye West made some comments at the Grammy Awards, Charlamagne gave his opinion to reporters: “It worked until I realized he actually was serious. Cause if you saw the after-show he did on E!, then he went into this whole rant about how Beck needed to respect Beyonce’s artistry and give his award away to Beyonce, which I think is super whack because Kanye’s calling for somebody to respect people’s artistry, but he doesn’t respect anybody else’s artistry. Kanye West wants us to respect the artistry that he likes. If he likes it, then we all should like it. If he doesn’t like it, then we shouldn’t like it, which is hypocritical.”

Taking after Beyonce, Chance The Rapper is giving very little detail on his upcoming album: “The album is very much so a Beyoncé kind of thing. I can’t say the date of the project. But, I can say that it’s super dope.”

We have been hearing about a comeback album from Missy Elliot for quite a while now but now it appears to officially be in the works. Just a week after her Super Bowl halftime performance Missy Elliot reunited with her partner for many years, Timbaland, and they hit the studio to work on some new music. Tuesday night Missy tweeted out a picture of the two in the studio with the caption “Me & @Timbaland bk 2 the drawing board studio dirty beats!” Fans are excited since they have not heard anything from the two together since back in 2012.

Houston rapper and the president of Def Jam South, otherwise known as Scarface, did an interview recently saying that the core of hip-hop will be white in 25 years. Scarface talks about how the Jewish people run all of the music business and how he thinks it is a conspiracy to eradicate black culture. Talking also about the white takeover of the rock n roll genre and how it is now happening to hip hop.

“The people in control of Hip Hop are so fucking white and so fucking Jewish, they don’t give a fuck about what the culture is about. I want to make this as offensive as possible for the old ass punks who are running the record labels…and dictate what the black community hears. I hate that shit it pisses me off. There no fucking way you can tell me it’s not a conspiracy. You put out a bunch of records that make us look dumb and stupid. You brainwash a generation of Hip Hoppers with this fucking crud. Hip hop is white now.”

Scarface makes sure to tell new comers to the rap scene not to let white people dictate our music,

“It’s our culture, stay the fuck out of it. This is our shit. I don’t like when a old ass 75 year old dude that ain’t never been to the neighborhood and never tried to embrace this culture can try to dictate whats hot and what’s not. That’s what I want the youngsters to do. Protect the integrity of the craft. In 25 Hip Hip will have a new face and a new hero…like rock n roll… Elvis will be the face of Hip Hop.”

“Rock N Roll was something Chuck Berry came up with. Now, the Rock N Roller’s don’t know who Chuck Berry is. The Blues was Robert Johnson and Eddie “Son” House and now the Blues is McJacgger. That’s not the blues, B. Hip Hop will be the same thing.”
