http://ift.tt/eA8V8J When it comes to his videos, Fabolous just has a flair for the dramatics. His visuals to the Lil Uzi Vert assisted “Goyabard Bag” is no exception as the Brooklyn rapper enlists the helps of some voluptious females to help him get one over on the connection he’s supposed to be doing business with. Ariana Grande continues to bring back the 90’s b-girl look with the oversized gear on the slim frame in her Future featured “Everyday.” Mac Miller better watch his girl before Future does him like he did Scottie Pippen .

http://ift.tt/2lTOozn What, you thought Meek Mill would pass up on a chance to be petty? The Philly rapper posted a pic of himself and Trey Songz in the studio together on Instagram.  Normally, this would be harmless. But considering Nicki Minaj spent part of her Saturday tweeting at the R&B crooner to thwart any notions that he slept with her, only to delete those tweets when she realized she played herself , it’s an extremely petty move by her ex-boyfriend. More importantly, there is still no response from Nicki Minaj to Remy Ma’s buckshot of bars—but plenty of new pics on the ‘Gram, though . For those that care, Meek’s caption says, “Best of both worlds basically 😁 @treysongz a lot of money made last night!” Rap beef in 2017, folks. — Photo: Instagram   The post P.A.

http://ift.tt/2l8EjRM Robbie Gatti probably wasn’t banking on a photo of him in an ill-advised photo of him donning blackface to resurface as he is campaigning for a seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives chamber. However, the GOP candidate is refusing to apologize for the racist get up and gave a half-baked response as to why he foolishly darkened his skin. The Daily Mail reports: A Louisiana politician who wore blackface to dress up as Tiger Woods for a community event has defended the controversial costume, insisting it was merely part of a ‘good night at church’. Robbie Gatti, who describes himself as an ‘unwavering conservative’, was scrutinized by residents in Bossier City after a photograph of him in the costume at First Baptist Church surfaced this week. He has since defended it, issuing a statement to say he meant no harm with the get-up and said its resurgence is a smear attempt by his political opponents. ‘Fifteen years ago, my church held a fall festival,...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Lil Kim has come forward to dispell rumors that she was planning to team up with Remy Ma against Nicki Minaj. In an interview with Billboard , the Queen Bee says: We all know the situation that’s going on with Remy and ol’ girl. That’s their situation and I have nothing to do with that. They have a rumor out there like, “Kim is gonna do a diss track with Remy.” First of all, let me tell you this. Number one: y’all giving ol’ girl too much credit. I’m not even thinking about that. I’m not even thinking about ol’ girl! I’m so far past that. That’s never on my mind. Ever. Ol’ girl has never been on my mind for a long ass time at all. So I hate the fact of that being in the equation. But the situation with Remy, for them to say that we were coming together to do a diss track? First of all, after hearing “ShETHER,” that shit is so hard, Remy don’t need no damn help! Why would I need to come together for that? I mean, I’m into the music and I’m speaking musically w...

http://ift.tt/2lTJBO7 Betsy DeVos is the head of the U.S. Department of Education and has revealed how uniquely unqualified she is for the gig. In a statement, DeVos proclaimed that historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU’s) were pioneers of “school choice.”  To be clear, HBCU’s were the direct result of Blacks not being allowed to enroll in institutions of higher learning. There was no “choice” about their creation. Nevertheless, part DeVos’ impeccably tone deaf and historically wrong statement reads: HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice. They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality. Their success has shown that more options help students flourish. The press release arrived after that now infamous “listening session” with the leaders of HBCU’s .

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J President Donald Trump invited a number of HBCU leaders to the White House yesterday for a gathering Monday (Feb. 27) ahead of an executive order signing meant to address federal support given to those institutions. While the moment had the appearance of a feel-good attempt to cool the recent racial tensions between people of color and the new president, many viewed the meeting with a measurable amount of skepticism. Several Historically Black College and University leaders were in attendance and gathered for a photo inside the Oval Office with President Trump. As part of his “New Deal for Black America” plan, Trump aims to sign an executive order today (Feb. 28) that will give financial boosts to the schools. Flanked by Vice President Mike Pence, the veep said that he and the president admired the HBCUs for their contributions to society. Naturally, given the incendiary nature of Trump’s presidential campaign and the racist dialog it sparked, people are...

The track was created by West and  The Life of Pablo collaborator DJDS. The track is a revamp of R&B singer J. Holiday’s Grammy-nominated hit “Bed” that was produced and co-written by The-Dream. History states the track was originally meant for Chris Brown . Upon its release, the song would go on to be remixed multiple times in different languages by everyone from Ludacris to Ja Rule to Chingy. Yep, Chingy. Listen below.

http://ift.tt/2luJVBR The latest Tupac Shakur memorabilia item to hit the auction is the most morbid one yet. If you missed out on buying one of his prison letters , his 1996 Hummer or some of his lyric sheets, you’re in luck. For the right price, you can own the BMW Tupac was shot in. The BMW 750iL is up for auction via Moments In Time, the same company that has been selling off the other Tupac-related items that have been making the news. The car was impounded for investigation after the shooting that eventually took ‘Pac’s life. Since then the car has had several owners. The car is fully restored and the damage from bullet holes has been repaired. The only evidence left of it being shot up are indentations in the door panels. The asking price is $1.5 million if you’re in the market for a car that a famous rapper was shot in.

The Queens rapper took to Instagram to share behind the scenes footage and photos of a video she’s shooting with Future.  “#IssaNOTHERvideoSHOOT,” was the caption of the initial pic of Nicki in a skimpy, thirst trap-worth red outfit. But when is she going to reply to Remy Ma? She also shared footage of her and Future in a secret location watching playback of the video. But what is Nicki going to say about Remy? No word on where or what project the song the video is for will actually land. So about an answer record to…you get the idea.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Jay Z  has come on to co-produce the film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 2008 play In The Heights. Complex writes that the announcement was made a movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s pre-Oscar party this past weekend. Jay’s role in making the movie is the latest look from a deal he signed with The Weinstein Company to produce television shows and films. Long before he became famous for Hamilton, Miranda’s In  the Heights musical earned him a Tony award. The musical follows characters living in the predominately Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights in New York City with Hip-Hop and salsa serving as the backdrop. Miranda tells  Variety the movie musical is scheduled to begin shooting in the spring. Jay’s previous project with The Weinstein Company was The Kalief Browder Story . The documentary chronicled the life of Browder who was wrongly arrested and then jailed for a crime he did not commit. After enduring years of abuse from g...

We know, Scaf Beezy. We know. It seems like Nicki isn’t even sure what to do, besides posting pics on Instagram . Also, Safaree says he plans to mind his business because he doesn’t get mixed up in female rapper beef. Good idea.

http://instagr.am/p/BQ6101uhh4k/media/?size=l Jim Jones’ drama with Cam’ron may be far from over but as far as his decade-long feud with Tru Life is concerned, that’s officially in the rearview mirror. Tru Life posted a pic of himself with Jim Jones and a few other friends at the Roc Nation offices with a caption that read “No caption needed.” At its height, the drama between Jim Jones and Tru Life was the kind of stuff that helped move street DVD’s like weight and kept the block hot with talk about the former having his $10k gold cables taken by Life and his peoples. Some Hip-Hop fans even believe that Tru Life’s disdain for Jim Jones is what led to Jay-Z signing the former Ghetto Inmate to his Roc La Familia imprint as Jigga was also beefing with Jones at the time. But before he could experience the full benefits of riding alongside Jay-Z in the music industry, Tru Life caught a case and ended up doing an eight-year bid for the fatal stabbing of Christopher Guerrero in 2009....

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali has always expressed that he’s a Hip-Hop head, but we never knew he was an MC a decade ago. The Oakland native was once an artist signed to the legendary Hieroglyphics crew’s Hiero Imperium label. Rapping under the name Prince Ali, he put out two albums, 2006’s Corner Ensemble and 2007’s  Curb Side Service. During his time there he rapped alongside the likes of Casual, Planet Asia and Keith Murray on his single “The Majors.” His career as a rapper didn’t last long as he landed a role in the film The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button a year after his last album. Since then he’s gone on to star in House Of Cards, Luke Cage and Moonlight. Judging from what you’ve heard.

http://instagr.am/p/BQ8OPzMldzB/media/?size=l Meek Mill played himself. The Philly rapper posted a series of videos on social that showed him urging a homeless man to do 20 push up for $20.  This is the same Meek Mill who constantly lets fans know about how much his chains cost, how many foreign whips he drives and of course the expensive watches he wears. Thus $20 is a pittance, or maybe not since it is his money to do with as he chooses. However, this is exceptionally juvenile behavior. And Meek Mill is 29. Meek deleted the clips from his Instagram, but stuff like this lasts forever on the Internets. See below. Not cool, bruh.

Two days later, and all we’ve gotten from Ms. Minaj is deleted tweets toward Trey Songz and more Instagram posts. There are those—mostly “Barbs”—who feel that Nicki Minaj need not respond. That’s not how this Hip-Hop ish works. You want to be the Queen of Rap, you better handle your business when someone worthy comes for your neck. That said, there are those who say Remy isn’t worth a response since her bank account allegedly pales in comparison to the YMCMB Barbie’s. Again, that’s not how this Hip-Hop ish works.

The source of the news is one that is obviously an authority on rap and rap releases, Ellen . According to the Ellen TV show website , Future is going to be a special guest on Thursday and they may have spilled some beans in the description of the episode. It reads: “One of the biggest rappers in music, FUTURE is on the show today! He’ll be performing a song from his upcoming CD, “HNDRXX.” He has the #1 album in the country this week with “Future,” and is attempting to have three #1 albums in a row in three weeks – which will make him the first in history to do that! He’s bringing it all to Ellen!” If you read between the lines, the statement gets even more confusing. They say his album Hndrxx is “upcoming,” but it came out last week. On top of that, the link making the claim is post dated as “Thursday, March 2, 2017” which obviously isn’t here yet. For now, ...

Of the many people Remy Ma namedropped in her lyrical lashing of Nicki Minaj , Ebro may have caught the most flack. Remy rhymed that Nicki cheated on an ex-boyfriend with the Hot 97 radio personality. The lyrics went: “Coke head, you cheated on your man with Ebro, I might leak the footage of you sniffin’ them ski slopes.” As soon as the lyrics hit the sky, people took it to be true, and even assumed that Ebro was a married man. Ebro wasn’t on the net when the song hit, but when he did finally log in, his mentions were on fire. When he finally did get around to hearing the song, Ebro came out swatting at everything like Mutombo. Remy’s husband Papoose eventually jumped in.   At the end of the day, it looks like the world really wanted to believe what Remy said.

http://ift.tt/2mpH3Ya After a fiery Remy Ma diss, Nicky Minaj has already taken a pair of L’s, per the Twitter delegation without even dropping a response track. The 1st was Instagramming it out, the second was coming for Trey Songz.  In Remy’s “ShEther,” the Bronx rapper claims Trigga broke off the YMCMB Barbie. The R&B crooner took to Twitter (see above) to say he was laughing at his name being brought up, and Nicki took offense. This where we mention she would delete the tweet, see below. “Wut u SHOULD b saying is that it’s not true, seeing as it’s not. Real niggaz do real things.  I done gotchu 6 million plaques,” she told Songz. What followed was back and forth, with Trey essentially telling her to focus on the matter at hand. Yep.  Trey Songz denied smashing Nicki Minaj. How is that for irony? Trey Songz denies PIPING Nicki Minaj down. Is Trey lying or Remy lying? http://pic.twitter.com/psP6zxurgf — DJ Akademiks (@IamAkademiks) February 25,...

http://ift.tt/2lVEJKJ You knew this moment would come. Remy Ma dropped a fiery Nicki Minaj diss, and the Internet is losing its sh*t.  On “ShEther,” Remy from the Boogie went on for 6+ minutes of bars featuring all the receipts . There are those who think Nicki Minaj posting about album sales ends this. Okay Nicki Minaj already ended this by bringing up Remy Ma's album first week sales which were 7,978 😂 http://pic.twitter.com/rChABC5T6h — Music News & Facts (@Musicnews_feed) February 25, 2017 Nah, bruh. We want BARS. Nothing more, nothing less. The reactions are almost as entertaining as the song. Almost. Peep the best of the best below and on the flip. Remy Ma so damn disrespectful. — Charlamagne Tha God (@cthagod) February 25, 2017 Remy Ma didn't play any games with Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj talked about album sales. Remy talked about her rapist brother. http://pic.twitter.com/Tasn6rUcAm — reggie (@1942bs) February 25, 2017 Remy Ma told Ni...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Remy Ma has taken the gloves off and went at Nicki Minaj in perhaps the most scathing diss track we’ve heard in years. Remy Ma left no stone unturned in her vicious attack on Nicki. Any stones that we left were thrown right at her head. Remy got at Nicki for everything from her butt shots to alleged ghostwriters to her brother currently facing prison time for child molestation. Of course Meek Mill, Safaree and her finances were mentioned as well. Nicki is going to have to come up with one hell of a reply if she dare replies at all.
