The fact that Funk Volume has fallen apart has been well known for a while now with Hopsin a co-founder going as far as to make a whole track and video about the person he believes ruined it. That person is Dame Ritter and now we finally have got some insight from another artist on the label, Dizzy Wright, who took to Facebook to post this. “I don’t think y’all want to know how I REALLY feel about this Funk Volume fallout but, because so many people keep asking me, I will just keep it 100 with y’all. First off, Dame Ritter is still my manager and will continue to be my manager because I’ve never endured the same problems that Hopsin is talking about. Y’all really don’t know how much this man has done for that label and you’re calling him names and disrespecting the man that did everything in his power to bring us together as a unit. I fucking witnessed it for 4 years. I’m still mind blown that his name got dragged through the dirt like that. Y’all must think that this shit is just making music and doing music videos ? There’s so much more to this game and if you want to be a successful artist u have to have a healthy team around you who is willing to go the extra mile. Hop may not see it now, but Dame went the extra mile for all of us numerous times and he just overlooked it. Even when Hop was out there acting crazy, going on Kanye rants, quitting rap, and all kind of shit. We stood by that nigga because what’s a label with no ‘loyalty’ ? Of course Dame hasn’t done everything right but who fucking does ? This has been a learning experience for all of us and we knew it wasn’t gonna be easy but I will say this: Dame has always been open and transparent with me about everything. I have no idea why Hopsin didn’t receive the same treatment but we are two different people who come from two different worlds. Or maybe he did ? maybe it’s the fans fault, maybe if y’all didn’t push him in a corner and make him feel like controversy was his way to blow up, we could of handled this. Maybe he’s doing this for y’all, maybe he’s tryna give the fans what they want, why were y’all ever involved ? Why did he run to y’all ? Is the Internet even real ? idk but I do know that I watch a lot of you turn your backs on the movement, the same movement y’all didn’t want me apart of so much, that I had to work my ass off every year to represent. I’m watching these so-called fans disrespect the movement that I got tatted on me for life. I seen how fake the world can be and trust me when I say I’ll never put my fucking energy into something that someone can just walk away from again. We were suppose to fight for our label and our legacy and because of the “FANS” that will never happen. So there u have it ‪#‎BlameTheFans‬ if you gone blame anybody because y’all worked against us when we needed you the most. On another note, I appreciate the real ones who supported us. I appreciate everyone that ever came to a funk volume show. I appreciate everyone that ever bought a meet and greet ticket. Your love on the Internet will never compare to the love you showed us in real life and I appreciate what that label taught me and I pray the ones who have a watched me come this far, continue to grow with me and support me. This journey changed my life. In a nut shell, I left the label with the good memories not the bad ones and that’s how I feel. PS. I’m not gonna live in the past this is my last post about FV. I wish my brothers Hopsin , SwizZz and Jarren the best with good health and great wealth. We had one hell of a run. ‪#‎NeverForget‬ “

The city of Louisville has given the singer, Bryson Tiller a key to the city and it was awarded to him yesterday. But they did not end it there and officially named March 12 “Bryson Tiller Day.” This happened during the last show in his “Trapsoul” tour that took place right there in his hometown.

Kanye West did his usual Twitter thing this morning but this time he has managed to get his fans even more excited then they were previously. “No more fashion calendar… I’m going Mad Max… 6 collections a year…3 albums a year” Kanye posted which essentially means that Kanye West plans on putting out another two albums one we know is supposed to arrive this Summer but the other is completely unknown to us. Now if Ye can really pull this off and create three classic albums in one single year that would be quite an amazing thing.

Just today social media was buzzing with the news that Russel Wilson proposed to Ciara.

The guy who is always on Instagram posting memes about people and beefing, 50 Cent , has apparently quit Instagram. 50 posted photos of homeless men as a last thing he does on Instagram and talked about how the courts have been treating him wrong using the fact that he is African American as the reason. After the rant he actually quite Instagram but knowing 50 he will most likely be back soon enough with more memes. Keep it right here for any updates on his situation.

Following in the footsteps of Mac Miller, Chris Brown took to his Instagram to attack Donald Trump.Brown wrote this strongly worded post showing he is not happy at all with Trump and he feels that he is a racist. “FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK THE PIGS! TO SEE THIS EVIL SHIT IS SO WRONG! GOD WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE! TRUST ME!” wrote Brown. “WITHOUT OUR BLACK CULTURE, ASIAN CULTURE, LATIN CULTURE, MUSLIMS, AND ANY RACE THAT YOU DON’T APPROVE OF HELP YOU TO BE WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE. NOT TO MENTION WE ARE THE MOST CREATIVE,OPPRESSED, resilient, And HARD WORKERS, without out us your just another simple minded scared little man.” Chris Brown posted but has now deleted from his account.

 

Thought the album is already and Instant classic, Kanye West’s “The Life of Pablo” is still being worked on. On Twitter Kanye said “excited to see my family and finish the final mixes of the Life of Pablo and keep working on Turbo Grafx 16 and Season 4 ….” So it looks like the instant classic still wasn’t even in its final form and we will be getting that form soon enough. Now this is a pretty crazy way to do things but really it is only possible because Ye didn’t sell the album and only streamed it. Hopefully this final mix is even more great but honestly how do you improve on something that is already loved by everyone? I guess we’ll find out so keep it locked right here.

 

One of Kevin McCall’s tweets really set off Chris Brown and lead to him taking to his own Instagram to go at Kevin. “…He a bitch ..how you 30 and all you do is talk shit over twitter and instagram…grown asf and acting 16” Chris Brown said and continued in the comments “N*GGAS BE IN THEY FEELINGS SNEAK DISSING BECAUSE THEY FUCKED UP THEY LIFE BEING TOO FUCKING ARROGANT AND THEN NOBODY WANTED TO WORK WITH YOU KEVIN, THE LABEL DROPPED YOU BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE A BETTER PRODUCER AND WRITER THAN THE N*GGA YOU ARE TODAY.” But no it did not end there with Chris taking things a step further. “KEEP FUCKING WITH ME AND YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO WALK LET ALONE SING AGAIN. It’ll be hard to play piano with no fingers.” And how does McCall react to all of this well he just acts like a fan of Chris not really fighting back at all. But keep it right here for all future updates.

Lil Mama has been dropping some new music lately and doing interviews but was arrested this morning at 4AM while in Harlem going 38 mph on a 25 mph road. Now TMZ is reporting that the issue she had was not her speeding but the fact that she was speeding with suspended license and she went straight the jail spending the night there. Hopefully she learned her lesson and gets that all sorted out.

Now Bobby Shmurda is still in jail but it seems lately he has been trying new things with all the time on his hands. Bobby mom in a brand new interview with XXL talks about her son working on two actual screenplays while locked up. As for what they are about, one is about his experience since the start of his rap career and the other is just about life in general. She talked about how all of the boys he is locked up with today are actually his childhood friends and his one screenplay would be about that and how they all grew up. Hopefully Bobby gets thoughs done and can really make something great with them in the future. Keep it right here for updates on his situation.

Last Sunday Katt Williams was at a Beanie Sigel show in Philly and attacked someone on the stage which lead to him getting jumped and kicked and it was all recorded. Now Beanie Sigel is actually taking Katts side in the matter and saying he will never perform in Philly again on his Instagram. “Fuck the speculation talk over stupid niggas dig this. @kattpackallday is far from any negative accolades you a**holes want to attached to him. His turn up is just different. He don’t need Molly cocaine or any other dumbass drug you stupid ass niggas think he on, “Katt got bread! So why would he have to settle a dice game debt with a car stupid, If he lost 300,000 to me it would have been in cash he got it. So no shit heads there was no dice game.. The man has a level of love and respect for me that he feels most who claim they do especially from my city don’t show.. The car was a gift that was put in place days before him even coming to Philly for his show.. He drove tha car himself from Georgia to personally deliver it to me himself.” Sigel posted denying the rumors that Katt lost an expensive car to him in a dice game. “I came there with my family only no goons or so called friends. my wife my mother brother sisters and my 65 year old uncle who never saw me perform before. so for the level of disrespect that was shown to me my family and KATT I will never I mean NEVER do a show in Philadelphia again!!!!.”

In a new interview with Business of Fashion the founder of Supreme talks about his brand that has become really popular of the last couples years. “I think a lot of people still want us to be this exclusive, precious brand, but we’re not at all,” James Jebbia says. Supreme will be opening its 10^th retail store in Paris very soon so they are ever growing and this is really thanks to rapper Tyler, The Creator who has been repping the brand for years now.

According to Kanye West himself via his Twitter Adidas is going to be making a million of his Yeezys this year. Now this is amazing news because everyone knows how all of Kanye’s past shoe sales have went being sold out almost instantly anywhere you go. Kanye says that Adidas is even opening more factories which is a fact but we’ll see if the Yeezy brand is really seeing bigger quantities in due time.

 

There was a lyric contest for the huge fans of Kendrick Lamar that think they know every lyrics to all 8 tracks on Kendrick’s recent surprise album “Untitled Unmastered”. It went down yesterday at 4PM and the way it worked was every track had a question about the lyrics that went with it and the first fan to get it right won a hat, t-shirt, and backpack. Overall a great way for TDE to continue to promote this surprise album even though it really didn’t need it with all the praise it is getting from everyone.

Spike Lee called Chance the Rapper a fraud recently and Chance took to his Twitter to call out Spike and put him on the stop. Spike called him a fraud because he felt some type of way about how Chance is against his most recent film “Chiraq”. Though a bunch of other Chicago artist are against the film Spike only really went at Chance but today Chance snapped right back at him on Twitter. “Come on now This guy promoting this offensive unsuccessful flop of a movie … about the Southside…in fucking Evanston…, And then get mad when students at the screening challenge him on his sexist, and RACIST movie and he wanna point the finger at me, Boy. You are a lame. But more importantly a liar. Now stop tweeking for I get to releasing audio of you begging me to be in that trash ass movie”. Chance put out in a flurry of tweets. Now if this audio really does exist it would explain why Spike is so salty.
