She revealed many personal things about herself, and some that were not known until her recent interview. Nicki states that she hopes to have a child in preschool by the year 2021, so if you do the calculations, she’ll need to get pregnant by at least 2016 to 2017.

Tinashe & DJ Mustard Come Together Again

December 4, 2014 — Leave a comment
Tinashe had a smash in the summer of 2014. Everyone loved what she had going on with “2 On.” So it is easy for people to say that the next collaboration with DJ Mustard presents that same type of vibe.

Tinashe is back again with the super producer from California on an explicitly titled track that may get some club spins

The problem, however, may be the timing. The track doesn’t have the strength of drop tops and bikini clad girls to carry the song on. The “2 On” track is one of those type of songs that was made for summertime. This new track was actually left off of Tinashe’s album, but somehow it is still getting buzz. Much of this has to do with the fact that this track sparks another collaboration between a great singer and producer. Some comparisons have been made with early Timbaland and Aaliyah work, or even Bruce Levenson’s work with UCG but it is too soon to tell. The song wasn’t included on her album. It could have been because she didn’t want to get labeled as this party girl.

Tinashe also dropped a slow jam, “Pretend,” which got some airplay, but it didn’t spark the same flame that “2 On” ignited. That may be why this new unreleased single is surfing. The Tinashe “Aquarius” album actually got great praise from critics, but the party crowd was probably looking for more club hits.

December 4, 2014 — Leave a comment
Chris Rock sat down with MTV recently, and was discussing his new upcoming movie called “Top Five,” which was co-produced by Kanye West as well as Jay-Z. Related to the name of the movie, Chris Rock was asked who he believed the top five rappers were, and his answer is a very interesting one. In this Chris Rock Interview,  he puts Jay-Z at the very top, but he also believes that Kanye West is very close, second place.

Chris also believes that Kanye West is a very interesting person, and one of the best to ever pick up a microphone. He believes it’s possible in the future, that Kanye may overtake Jay-Z for the number one spot.  Although this is completely based on his opinion, many who are fans of hip-hop such as Mark Ahn have the same opinion. Jay-Z usually tops out any top five lists, when it comes to the best hip-hop artists.

Of course the Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac make the list frequently, but as far as living stars, KRS-One, Ice Cube, and Scarface, has made Chris’s list. It’s evident that he knows his hip-hop, because he has picked legends in rap music, as well as the current hottest acts out today. His opinion is not based on the fact that his top two picks, worked with him on the new movie. Jay-Z is very talented, and has done music for decades, which is why he’s number one.

J.Cole’s Song Fire Squad May Stir Up Controversy

December 3, 2014 — Leave a comment

J.Cole’s third album reveals that the young rapper could be feeling indifferent about the success non-black R&B and hip hop stars are having in the music industry.

The rap star’s album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, is not due to be released until December 9 on iTunes but thanks to a leak fans can possibly find the album online.

Of the songs leaked was one that revealed Cole’s disappointment in how magazines and award shows were treating black R&B and hip hop artists. In the song “Fire Squad” Cole takes shots at artist such as Iggy, Eminem, Macklemore, and Robin Thicke. The lyrics speak for themselves as Cole hold’s no filter to his feelings. “History repeats itself and that’s just how it goes/ Same way that these rappers always bite each other’s flows/ Same thing that my n—a Elvis did with rock and roll/ Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore,” Cole spits over the menacing beat.

“While silly n—-s argue over who gon’ snatch the crown/ Look around my n—a white people have snatched the sound/ This year I probably go to the awards dapper down/ Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile/ I’m just playin/ But all good jokes contain true sh–/ Same rope you climb up on they hang you with.”

With lyrics such as these, one can see that the rapper is frustrated at the current state of R&B and hip hop. Some like Brian Torchin are wondering what his next move will be. Cole feels as if the white artists that are named in his song are finding more success in a genre of music and culture that was created by blacks.

The rap group Leaders of the New School has been split for a long time, but the leader – Busta Rhymes – still continues to be a force in the hip hop world. Recently, Busta made headlines for a fall off stage.

He was making a guest appearance at a O.T. Genasis concert when he slipped. This landed him into the crowd. He was bloodied from the fall. The source of this video footage was World Star. Both World Star and TMZ appear to be the places that get the embarrassing footage that has fueled so many news headlines in entertainment.

Busta Rhymes is not the first person to fall off stage in recent years. Tyrese is among those that have fell off stage due to exhaustion. That was a scary thing to see, as Gianfrancesco Genoso thought he was seriously injured. Beyonce has had a fall on stage when her hair got tangled in a fan during a concert. There are so many occasions where the stage becomes an enemy to performers that are a little less than careful. The difference between a lot of other falls is that Busta was covered in blood.

Busta did not return to stage, but he did take to Twitter to let his fans know that he was okay. He appears to have downplayed the entire injury, but this could have been a very horrific fall. Busta was injured, but the extent of the injuries are not known as this moment.

Frank appears to know how to hide better than anyone. After dropping a stellar debut release Ocean disappeared from the entertainment headlines. He surfaced on a Beyonce track last year. He got into an argument with Chris Brown in a parking lot and made it into entertainment news in the same year. During the course of 2014 he had managed to lock himself away and focus on new music. He decided to do the music world a favor and let us see what he has been working on.

The new track, “Memrise,” is a dark explicit track that appears to be something of an obscure sound that gives fans another layer of Ocean obscurity.Lots of fans are bound to make attempts to analyze the track because Ocean has been away so long. When Frank posted the track on his Tumblr page he didn’t say anything about it. There was no drawn out speak about this long absence. There was also nothing to say about his new music. He made no comments on the past work or the future of his new music. He remains something of an enigma, and the track shows that he likes this ambiguous persona.

Ocean rose to fame when he released an open letter before his debut album premiered. This letter was about his sexuality. Now fans like Brian Torchin appear to be drawn to Frank Ocean because he is so private.

She did not reveal the name of a single. She did not say anything about what the music would sound like. There were no producers mentioned, but the simple fact that she worked with Britney is out there in the social media atmosphere.
