Jaden also said he already has two or three albums that are ready to drop. The young rapper/actor has already released a few songs this month that include “Fast” and “Melancholy” so looks like the world should get ready for more rap from Jaden and as we hear more about his projects we will let you know.
While in Spingfield, MA doing a show the Migos got into a physical altercation with fans. It is unclear what sparked the brawl though there is footage of Offset mean-mugging a fan which leads to pushing and then a fight. Things thankfully seemed to calm down pretty fast but this is not an uncommon thing to happen at a Migos show but they should really stop getting into brawls or venues will start to stop booking them.
Charlamagne the God the controversial radio show host from power 105.1 the breakfast club has recently sat down with Vlad TV. Charlamagne had some advice for the well-known Toronto rapper Drake saying he should stay away from strippers because they are nothing but bad news. “The only problem I have with that situation is Drake, you should not be fucking with strippers man. It’s 2014,” He said while speaking on the Drake/Jhonni Blaze situation. Charlamagne believes that strippers fabricate situations to get more fame so their credibility is low.
On Vince Staples EP Hell Can Wait which was released last week has a line in one of the songs that Vince thinks is the most important in the album. “These niggas fiendin’ for these luxuries they’ll never get’…because you don’t think about it like that,” said Vince in an interview with HipHopDX. “Everything that we look for as people coming from that situation…everybody wants to do better. Everybody wants the nice cars. Everybody wants the money. Everybody wants these things, but we’ll never really get ‘em nine times outta 10, because of how the system is set up. It’s a sad realization. The majority of us will never become anything.” And on gang banging Staples adds “younger people need to know that it’s not cool…It’s cool. Don’t get me wrong. I had fun. I’m never gone regret anything I did in my life, but I would rather you not do it. I’m pretty sure a crackhead has an amazing time when he’s high. But when he’s not, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t recommend it to anybody.”

While on ESPN’s “First Take” the rapper from Brooklyn, New York, Fabolous, was asked about the missing artist like Public Enemy and LL Cool J from the Def Jam 30th anniversary concerts roster. But Fab didn’t really give any clear cut answers to why Def Jams earliest artist aren’t on the roster but instead only said there would be a fusion of artist from past and present. A long with Fabolous some other artist scheduled to perform are DMX, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Foxy Brown, Jhene Aiko, Onyx, Method Man, and Redman.
In a photo shoot with GQ magazine earlier this year there was some behind the scenes footage that has surfaced online. In this footage, that has already been deleted due to copyright, Kanye talks about his idea of his perfection. According to him perfection starts at ground zero and that he needs “to take things to a genius level.” Ye also talks about how he doesn’t mind being hated as long as he doesn’t have to stifle his creativity. “Most people are just satisfied with, ‘It’s good.’ Most people are satisfied at a 10, or something. It’s not to just stop at 10. You know, 10 is ground zero; perfection is ground zero. We need to take things to a genius level…I’d rather take the chance of being hated to bring that type of creation to the world,” Kanye said.
Over the last few days Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea have been having a social media beef that came about after Snoop posted a meme that Iggy took offense to. This lead to Iggy going on a twitter rant saying Snoop is basically being two faced. Snoop went back at Iggy posting more responses and memes via instagram basically saying Iggy is irrelevant. Again Iggy responded on twitter going on a rant and getting her boyfriend Nick Young involved. It all ended though when Snoop Apologized saying on video “I just got off the phone with my homeboy Tip, the king of Atlanta, and it’s officially over. No more bad talk. I apologize. Yeah, I apologize. I won’t do it again.” So it seems T.I. was able to sort out the situation pretty fast.
Even though Bobby Shmurda is one of the most talked about young rappers out of New York he is complaining that he is not making any money off of his shows. I talked about it in an instagram post last night that was soon after deleted. Since his Shmoney Dance and hit “Hot Nigga” Bobby has signed a major record deal with Epic which has got him doing a bunch of shows that included closing at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Here is what Bobby Shmurda posted on his instagram before deleting it “Nah idgaf I’m doing all theses shows not getting ma money dey got me doing shit every fucking day so its hard to keep up Witt dis shit den I ain’t got nobody to trust ain’t no help in dis bitch I’m ready to go back to da trap be4 jail #RNS dats how I feel foh,” Shmurda is currently working on his Ep entitled Shmurda She Wrote.
The Detroit rappers Eminem and Big Sean have had rumors of them working on something together going around for a long time now. But it appears that the rumor will soon be a reality when stopping by Detroit’s 97.1 The Ticket for an interview the host brought up a picture that Big Sean had posted a few months back of him and Em. “I know there was a photo you posted a while ago with Eminem – collaboration coming up anytime soon?” the host asked. Big Sean responded with “Yes. You can expect a little somethin’ somethin’ sooner or later”
After listening to Kanye West’s newest album, the Def Jam CEO gives a great review: “It sounds incredible. He’s focused, energetic, happy and making unbelievably great music. Kanye always wants to make sure that when it actually arrives it’s at the best possible place it could be, that the first song is as big as the last. He’s the absolute bar of perfection in terms of that. I tell him all the time: Some of his previous albums are still testing out in the marketplace as high, if not higher, than when they first came out because the music is still fresh to people.”
Eminem is an inspiration to a lot of people, 50 Cent explains how Eminem has influenced his music.
“Eminem gave me the shot that I needed at a point where he was so influential that there was nobody more influential than him, I don’t have value for a lot of the relationships that I developed coming up on this journey, but Eminem is the guy. He’s the one. He’s been consistent with me the entire time and I love him to death. I’d fuck all the way up for him. I’d do some shit that just wouldn’t allow me to come back into a comfortable space because somebody was doing something to that was inappropriate, to this day…The only thing strong enough to make an Eminem record not work is the possibility of it hurting Beats and helping SMS Audio. It’s the record with me, Eminem and Adam Levine. That one is the only one that Eminem has that you could technically look at and say it didn’t work, because it was confusion for the Beats brand. It makes sense now that it’s a billion-dollar move and it was important to the point that it couldn’t work.”
