Isaiah Rashad Teases A New Project Coming Soon

Isaiah Rashad says he submitted a project to TDE. Isaiah Rashad has been quiet since joining the Top Dawg family in 2013. Though there have been whispers of a collab with Ab-Soul, he's only released one project via TDE, Cilvia Demo EP in February 2014. But it appears that we'll be hearing more from him soon. Sunday evening, he tweeted out rather casually that he'd just submitted a project to TDE CEO Anthony Tiffith. "Just turned in this project to [Anthony Tiffith]," he wrote. "Look like we might be jammin out in a minute huh..." Hopefully Tiffith approves the project ASAP. IF you're looking for other Tennessee rappers to tide you over in the mean time, check out Tim Gent's Clarksville Nights, one of the most underrated mixtapes of the year.

Stream Kirko Bangz' "Fallin' Up" Mix Featuring K Camp & Fetty Wap

Kirko Bangz recruits K Camp, Fetty Wap, and more for his "Fallin' Up" mix. The last project we got from Kirko Bangz was Progression V, a Houston-legend-honoring tape that dropped at the very end of 2014. Kirko has had a lot going on since then, inking a deal with 300 Entertainment in July. He's now ready to drop his first project since signing, which comes in the form of a mix -- which pretty much functions as a 6-song EP. Premiering the new material on SoundCloud, Kirko's Fallin' Up collects features from the likes of K Camp, Fetty Wap, Ken Randle, Angelo Dorsey, and more. Production comes coutesy of Emu, Ferrari Fonz & Source, Cam Wallace, June James and more.

J Cole Brings Out Jay-Z, Big Sean, & Drake In Fayetteville

J Cole had some surprises in store for the hometown crowd. J. Cole has single-handedly put Fayetteville, NC on the map, and his homecoming concert tonight at Crown Coliseum was always going to be a feel-good event. But Jermaine was not alone. He brought reinforcements. Jay-Z and Big Sean joined J Cole on stage to perform "IDFWU," "Clique" and more before Drake showed up to perform "Energy," "Know Yourself," and other tracks from IYRTITL. Others who made appearances to support Cole on his big night were fellow "Forest Hills Drive" tour acts Jeremih, YG, Bas, Cozz, and Omen.

Police Sketch Bears Strange Resemblance To T.I., According To Twitter

Twitter users found a police sketch released yesterday looked an awful lot like T.I. Yesterday, Fox 5 Atlanta reported on an attempted abduction in Atlanta, sharing a police sketch of the man in question. The picture drew a fair amount of attention on Twitter, unfortunately not to bring awareness to a dangerous threat in the neighborhood, but instead the drawing's strange resemblance to rapper T.I. The image was passed around on social media, with users commenting on the coincidental look-a-like. While it's not really a subject to joke about, it's easy to see the comparison. Just to be clear, it goes without saying that T.I. didn't actually have anything to do with the incident. Take a look at the tweets from users below. Do you see any resemblance between the sketch and the ATL rapper? Meanwhile, T.I. is said to be working on his 10th studio album, which -- last we heard -- is set to be titled, The Dime Trap.

Jay Z Caved And Got An Instagram Account

Give the homie @hovsince96 a follow. Jay Z finally caved and got an Instagram account, opting for the handle @hovsince96. He dedicated his inaugural post with a tribute to Michael Jackson, who would have turned 57 years old today. The picture depicts a younger Jay Z rocking a Latrell Sprewell jersey and posing with the late singer. “Happy Birthday to the King! This may be my first and last post," he wrote. Jay Z isn't much of a Twitter guy either, except for that time when he rattled off an extensive Twitter defense of Tidal. As of press time, it's been three hours since Jay Z's post and he's already racked up 70,000 Instagram followers.

Tinashe Collaborates With Boi-1da, Travi$ Scott, Hit-Boy & More For New Album

Tinashe collaborates with Travi$ Scott, Hit-Boy, Boi-1da and more on her upcoming sophomore album. Tinashe's quickly becoming the next big pop star. The girl has been touring the world with Nicki Minaj, as part of the opening acts on "The Pinkprint" tour, and soon she'll be joining Katy Perry for Perry's South American tour. The singer is always on her grind, needless to say, and after releasing her debut album Aquarius to positive reviews in 2014, she's quickly returning in the Fall for a sophomore effort. She's already recorded thirty records for it. In a new interview with Billboard, Tinashe spoke on the forthcoming album and the contributors she's already locked in. Tinashe reveals she's turning to The Weeknd collaborator Max Martin, as well as Dr. Luke, for the new album, obviously eyeing pop stardom. "I don't see myself as an urban niche act," she says. "I want to have mainstream success that doesn't feel forced or label-made." She's also worked with Travi$ Scott and Hit-Boy on a record called "Joyride," as well as Boi-1da on "Party Favors." We'll see the return of Dev Hynes on the as-of-yet-untitled LP, as well as producer Nic Nac. RCA is planning to release the album in November,

Common Weighs In On Drake & Serena Hooking Up

Common gives Drake and Serena Williams his blessing. Back when the Common-Drake beef was happening, it was rumored that tennis player Serena Williams played a part-- she was coupled up with Common before the two parted ways, and then she reportedly linked up with Drizzy. Common later admitted that Serena was indeed the fueling factor, saying, "So unfortunately the war might have been over a girl, but at the time I never said that." Now that Drake and Serena may be rekindling their relationship, at least for that one time they were spotted making out at the back of restaurant, how does Common feel about it? Will old beef also be rekindled? Common was approached by TMZ, and he had nothing but nice things to say about Serena and Drake. The two have Com's blessing, "Serena is a friend of mine, as long as she happy I'm good. We dated, that's done, that's been done a long time ago, so it's now like we friends." He added a second time for good measure, "As long as she happy, I'm good."

Rita Ora Debuts New Song "Religion" With Wiz Khalifa, Fuels Dating Rumors

Wiz Khalifa and Rita Ora looked awful couple-y last night. Still in Los Angeles following his recent hoverboard incident at LAX, Wiz Khalifa stopped by Rita Ora's "Body On Me" tour performance at El Rey Theater. He joined her on stage to debut their new joint single "Religion," and afterwards they both posted saucy pics of them posing together to Instagram, fueling rumors that they are currently dating. "YOU ARE....making me your religion... @mistercap #tonight #LA," wrote Ora. "Of course I'll come see you perform," wrote Wiz. Neither party has confirmed that they are dating but they look awfully couple-y on stage and in the photos. Occam's razor... something's up.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West To Receive $440k Settlement From Leaked Engagement Video

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have successfully sued YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley for leaking their engagement video. Two years ago, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West sued the co-founder of YouTube, Chad Hurley, for leaking footage of their lavish engagement through his new venture MixBit. Hurley reportedly "manipulated" his way into AT&T Park in San Francisco, where the engagement took place, in front of Kanye and Kim's close friends and family. Although he had signed a confidentiality agreement, that didn't stop him from secretly filming the proposal and then leaking the video online-- he did receive a good fifteen minutes of fame, though. The issue has finally been settled, and the lawsuit will be dismissed as long as Hurley forks over $440,000 within the next few days.

The Weeknd, ASAP Rocky, Pharrell To Perform At MTV VMAs 2015

Check out the initial list of VMA performers. With his album release set for this Friday and plenty of hits on the Billboard chart, The Weeknd is having a pretty solid week. He'll cap things off by performing on the MTV Video Music Awards this week, which should be a pretty eventful night. As we already knew, Miley Cyrus will be acting as the host at this year's event, which is sure to have people talking on its own. Also, the award for Video Of The Year should serve as some interesting TV, as Nicki Minaj's absence from the ballot is what sparked her criticism of the VMAs, and ultimately had Taylor Swift interjecting inappropriately. Surely, if Swift wins, she'll be honoring Minaj in one way or another. Aside from the drama, the newest update comes with the announcement of the acts that will be performing, and of course, Abel is among those set to grace the stage. Other performers will include Pharrell, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Demi Lovato, and A$AP Rocky, though he'll be stuck assisting Twenty One Pilots (already getting shudders thinking of the Kendrick x Imagine Dragons performance).

Is Jay Rock's "90059" Dropping Next Week?

It looks like Jay Rock's sophomore album "90059" is only weeks away from dropping. Jay Rock has decided to take a unique approach with the release strategy for his sophomore album 90059. Instead of a concrete release date, Jay Rock & TDE are allowing the fans to determine when we’ll hear the long-awaited album by the amount of pre-orders it reaches on iTunes. Nevertheless, it looks like the goal must be really close to being reached, because a release date has just surfaced online tonight. According to Best Buy’s website, Jay Rock’s sophomore album, 90059, will be dropping in stores on September 11, with digital copies coming a week earlier on September 4th, aka next Friday. Led by the previously heard singles “Gumbo,” “Money Trees Deuce,” & the title track “90059,” Jay Rock’s sophomore album is shaping up to be his best body of work to date. Look for guest features from Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Isaiah Rashad, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, and more.

Travis Scott's "Rodeo" Tracklist Surfaces Online

A fan got his hands on a physical copy of Travis Scott's "Rodeo" album and shared the project's tracklist in the process. On September 4, Travis Scott’s highly anticipated debut album, Rodeo, will finally be made available for the world to hear. Led by the previously-heard singles "3500" & "Antidote," we now know what the rest of the tracklist will look like thanks to a fan who got his hands on a physical copy of the album from Target on Tuesday. Laced with 14 tracks (16 on the deluxe), Rodeo will come listed with no features on the back cover, even though we know 2 Chainz & Future are featured on “3500” and the front confirms more guest appearances from Kanye West, The Weeknd, & Toro Y Moi (see gallery above). From what we’ve heard though, the track “Pray 4 Love” will feature The Weeknd and “Wasted” is the previously leaked “Drunk” featuring Young Thug.

French Montana & 50 Cent Exchange More Vodka Jabs On Instagram

French Montana & 50 Cent aren't done yet. Last episode, French Montana incurred the wrath of his old nemesis 50 Cent by throwing out a box of unopened Effen bottles into the garbage. The battle between Effen and Ciroc continues to rage in the public arena of Instagram. This time, 50 fired back with a picture of French (incidentally taken during Diddy's 2014 commencement speech at Howard) accompanied with the text, "When you realize Effen vodka taste better than Ciroc. But U Diddy's bitch." French refused to back down, reaffirming his allegiance to Ciroc during a show in Connecticut over the weekend. "You know I'm a Ciroc boy, right... We don't fuck with that Effen vodka."

Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" Inspires College Scholarship For Students

Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" record has inspired a college scholarship for high school students. Inspired by the teacher who used Kendrick Lamar’s TPAB lyrics in his English class a few months back, a Philadelphia website, ogeewoogee.com, has decided to create an annual “Be Alright” scholarship fund for the students at High Tech High School in New Jersey. The contest is giving students an opportunity to win a $1500 college scholarship that will go toward books or tuition. How do you enter and win? Students must send in a 2-3 minute video that explains the positive aspects of hip-hop and showcasing their own individual talents. The videos can then be voted through oogeewoogee Facebook page

50 Cent Speaks On Sha Money XL Fallout; Sha Money Responds

50 Cent speaks on the fallout with G-Unit partner/founder Sha Money XL. Sha Money later responds. 50 Cent is never afraid to voice his opinion, and on Monday afternoon he did just that on a topic he’s kind of shied away from in the past. Speaking on the Hang w/ app again, Fif was asked about the relationship between him and his former G-Unit “partner” Sha Money XL, among many other things. Speaking on their history, 50 blamed part of their feud on financial disagreements and Sha Money becoming too greedy when money starting rolling in. “When the money came, when the check came, Sha [Money XL] started going like everybody else, just started reaching in my pockets,” 50 Cent says. “Trying to get the money, as much money as they could get. He charged the most he’s every charged for a track for ‘Blood Hound’ on Get Rich or Die Tryin'.” “I offered him overhead, so he can have his own office space and build a staff for Money Management and all that s**t. He never was with that, so he never did anything,” Fif says. “Next thing you know, he called and he was looking for my blessings and he was taking a job over at Def Jam.” Along with all the Sha Money talk, Fif went on to say that he’s been working with ATL producers Sonny Digital, London On Da Track, Zaytoven, 808 Mafia, and Don Cannon on his upcoming Street King Immortal.

iLoveMakonnen Announces New Album

Makonnen plans to drop "I Love Makonnen 2" in October. During his set at the Hot 100 Festival this afternoon, iLoveMakonnen announced that he'll be releasing an album in October 2015, according to a report from Billboard. Makonnen sent out a semi-cryptic pair of tweets earlier this month, suggesting that he plans to drop a project called I Love Makonnen 2 in October. He dropped I Love Makonnen as a mixtape last July and then rereleased it in December after "Tuesday" got remixed by Drake and blew up. His most recent project Drink More Water 5 was a bit of bust, hopefully he can recapture the magic of ILM in its sequel.

ASAP Rocky Talks Respect For Tyler, The Creator & Recording "Electric Body" With ScHoolboy Q

ASAP Rocky shares some thought on his upcoming tour with Tyler, The Creator, and his stoned studio sessions with ScHoolboy Q. ASAP Rocky recently announced a co-headlining tour with Tyler, The Creator, but so far, we hadn't really heard his thoughts on hitting the road with the Odd Future wildman. In a new interview with Revolt, Rocky spoke of the general respect he has for Tyler as a renaissance man. "I fuck with Tyler's whole movement," he said. "His aesthetic, what he does -- directs his own videos, produces his own beats, designs his clothes, ran his crew for a while, ran companies and stuff like that. Just being a fellow artist I respect that. Later on, Pretty Flacko shared his favorite recording session from his recent album, ALLA. His answer was quick, and seemed to be based more on the antics that ensued during the process than the actual music being laid down. "Probably 'Electric Body,' with Schoolboy," Rocky said with a stoned giggle. "Schoolboy a fool man. That motherfucker was in there smoking big-ass paper blunts and shit. Old-ass man and shit. Granddaddy Q. Shout out to my boy."

Raekwon Wants To Make A Wu-Tang Biopic

Raekwon is down for a Wu-Tang flick. By nearly quadrupling its budget in two weeks, "Straight Outta Compton" has demonstrated to studio execs that rap biopics can be extremely profitable, thus opening the door for movies about groups like the Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy, Run-DMC, & The Beastie Boys. Raekwon, for one, wants to make a Wu-Tang movie happen. "When we make a Wu movie, bet your ass its gonna be serious," he said at his shoe release in Manhattan this week. "Because we gotta tell the truth. And I think that's what I love about the 'Straight Outta Compton' movie is that they told the truth. When we do get to that level and it happens, it has to be the real story. It's gonna be an interesting one, cause I said - RZA hit the lotto one day. He knew who he had, but he didn't know what he had. So let's keep it right there." Raekwon has a documentary coming out soon called "The Purple Files" commemorating the 20th anniversary of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. While there are no official plans for a Wu-Tang picture yet, "Straight Outta Compton" had the full support of Dr. Dre & Ice Cube, and if Raekwon can round up a few Wu-Tang Clan members to help him pitch the movie to studios, it could become a real possibility.

T.I. Owes $4.5 Million In Back Taxes

Uncle Sam hits T.I. with back to back liens totaling $4.5 million. T.I. has been neglecting to pay his taxes, and Uncle Sam has taken notice. According to the Daily Mail, the IRS filed a pair of liens against the King of the South totaling $4.5 million. The first lien was filed against T.I. and his wife Tiny, requesting $1,397,283.47 in unpaid taxes from 2012. The second was filed against only T.I., for $3,173,476.39 in unpaid taxes from 2013. T.I. appears to be all square taxes from 2014. He's managed to stay out of legal trouble for a couple years, let's hope he can appease the tax man in due time and get back to finishing up The Dime Trap.

Wiz Khalifa Arrested For Riding Hoverboard At Airport

Wiz Khalifa detained at LAX. Wiz Khalifa was arrest Saturday afternoon at LAX for refusing to dismount his hoverboard. Footage reveals Wiz arguing with police before getting slammed to the ground by several cops, repeatedly urging him to "stop resisting." Wiz was in high spirits as he returned to the United States after a brief European tour, until his run in with the law. He was eventually freed but doesn't seem too happy about the incident. "All because I didn't want to ditch the technogy [sic] everyone will be using in the next 6 months," he wrote on Twitter. "Do what you want kids."

Ciroc Battle Continues On Instagram Kanye West Brings Out Rihanna At FYF Fest Kanye West Brings Out Rihanna At FYF Fest French and 50 Cent go at it on Instagram. Followers of 50 Cent and Diddy on Instagram know that they are currently embroiled in a bitter vodka war, with 50's Effen vodka dueling it out against Diddy's Ciroc. Recently things have escalated, with 50 using the hashtag #nopuffyjuice to encourage his fans to boycott Ciroc. Now French Montana has entered the fray and aligned himself firmly in the camp of Puff "Ciroc Obama" Daddy. It all started when DJ Spinking posted a video of French making some sarcastic remarks regarding Effen. “Shout out to Effen vodka," he said. "That shit kind of watered down, but I love it.” Six hours later, 50 reposted the video and implied that that French's IG stunt was the brainchild of Diddy, French's boss at Bad Boy Records. This seemed to strike a nerve with French, who doubled down by posting a video of him dumping a box of unopened Effen bottles in the garbage, proclaiming, "This what I feel about your bullshit."

Kanye West Brings Out Rihanna At FYF Fest

Rihanna performed "All Of The Lights" and "Four, Five Seconds" with Kanye West at last night's FYF Fest. Frank Ocean's cancellation of his headlining FYF Fest performance is just one of the ways he's disappointed fans recently (where's the album?), but luckily, the proven showman Kanye West stepped in for Ocean, and made sure to make up for his absence with a special surprise for the crowd -- Rihanna. RiRi made two appearances during Ye's set, first for their monster-hit, "All Of The Lights," and later for an intimate performance of "Four, Five, Seconds," where the singer got right up in the faces of the audience. Overall, we're sure even the biggest Frank Ocean stans left satisfied.

Fetty Wap Scoffs At Rumors He Was Jumped In DC

Fetty Wap had an amazing response to reports he had been robbed at a club last night. This morning, MediaTakeOut reported that Fetty Wap had been jumped and robbed at Stadium nightclub in DC, suggesting Fetty had his chain taken and some of his dreads ripped out (as you likely know, they're not real). It didn't take long for the rapper, who currently has FOUR singles on the Hot 100, to respond, calling MTO out for what he claimed were false reports. "I just heard that somebody pulled my fucking hair out and I got robbed," he said in a video posted to Instagram, pointing towards his untouched dreads and a pile of racks by his side. "Bitch, where? Let me know. Let me know. Tell me. Please." His caption for the clip was also pretty straight to the point -- "@mediatakeout suck my dick 💯😂🙌" Fetty is currently on Chris Brown's One Hell Of A Nite tour, but with his growing catalog of hits, it shouldn't be long before he's on his own tour.

Rick Ross Getting Sued For $55,000 By Party Promoters

Rick Ross didn't tweet/gram about their party enough. Promotional group Conexts is suing Rick Ross for $55,000 plus damages for not sufficiently promoting their Super Bowl party, per their agreement. The group planned to throw a party on January 30 at the Scottsdale Mall Amphitheater. According to TMZ, Ross was supposed to post daily on social media about the event for two weeks but only posted once (see his post below), and the event was cancelled due to meager ticket sales. Rick got paid $55,000 upfront and was slated to receive an additional $55,000 after the party. Given that one promotional tweet from Lebron James' account is worth $140,000, they may have been underpaying him. But they're coming for that money regardless.

Police Interrupted Waka Flocka Flame's "Workin" Video Shoot

Waka Flocka's "Workin" video shoot was crashed by cops after neighbors complained about the noise. There's a part in Waka Flocka Flame's excellent new track "Workin" where he raps, "We're the young'ns going crazy shooting cops." In footage acquired by TMZ, you can hear Waka and a bunch of others rap this line during the song's video shoot last night... just before the police show up. The gossip site says they were called in by neighbors who complained about the shoot's volume and the audible profanity in the track. Despite the song's lyrics, Waka and his team proved themselves to be law abiding citizens, because they had all the correct permits to shoot the video at the location in question. No arrests were made, and the video shoot was allowed to go on after Big Homie Flock agreed to turn down the volume.

Universal Denies Rumors Of Snoop Dogg & Tupac-centric Sequel To "Straight Outta Compton"

Despite Daz Dillinger's claims, Universal says there are no plans to make an official sequel to "Straight Outta Compton." With the introduction of a few familiar faces in the film's final third, it seemed inevitable that Straight Outta Compton would spawn some sort of spin-off that followed the likes of Snoop Dogg and Tupac. This hunch was seemingly confirmed yesterday when Daz Dillinger spoke directly to TMZ, suggesting a proper sequel to the popular film was already planned, and would follow, Snoop, The Dogg Pound, and 2pac's careers. While we wanted to believe the news, it seems even if there is some truth to it, it certainly won't be a part of the Straight Outta Compton universe. “At this time there are no plans for a Straight Outta Compton sequel,” Universal told Entertainment Weekly. The publication also reached out to Ice Cube, who confirmed that he had not given the green light to any type of subsequent film. Strangely, Daz's report explicitly said that Cube was behind the idea. We're sure this won't be the end of the discussion, and judging by the success of the film, some similar projects are bound to pop up either way.

Daz Dillinger Says There Will Be A "Straight Outta Compton" Sequel Focusing On Tupac & Snoop Dogg

"Straight Outta Compton" "sequel, of sorts" is set to focus on Snoop Dogg and Tupac, according to Daz Dillinger. Very soon after a huge weekend for "Straight Outta Compton," it's become apparent that the film will set off a wave of additional rap biopics in Hollywood. The film has proven to studio executives that the genre can in fact be more profitable than, say, the movie "Notorious" was, and now rappers seem to be clamoring to get their stories told on the big screen. Earlier this week, Master P announced he was casting a film about his and No Limit's rise to fame, and now Dogg Pound veteran Daz Dillinger claims that a "Straight Outta Compton" "sequel, of sorts" is in the works. Speaking to TMZ, Daz said the film will mostly follow Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Warren G and himself, and is tentatively titled "Dogg Pound 4 Life." Dr. Dre and Ice Cube won't be involved in the production side of things this time, but Daz said Cube gave the film his "stamp of approval." Do you think it can live up to the quality of its predecessor?

Beanie Sigel Weighs In On The Meek Mill & AR-AB Situation

Beanie Sigel calls the Meek x Drake beef "gay." Former Roc-A-Fella artist & Philadelphia OG Beanie Sigel definitely knows a thing or two about real rap beefs, so on Thursday afternoon he decided to voice his opinion & give advice to those involved in the recent Meek Mill, Drake, and AR-AB situation. Taking to Instagram, Beanie not only called the beef between Meek & Drake “gay,” but he said he could care less about what initially incited everything, he just doesn’t want to see any casualties come from it. “Somebody mite die over this stupid shit.. it won't be Ar.,Meek, or Drake.. it's going to be one of the entourage ... Somebody going to move out to prove they loyalty to something that's not loyal to them "stupidity " somebody dies somebody in jail for life over what.” Giving his advice on the situation, Beanie spoke directly to his Philly homies, telling Meek to “tighten his circle and get rid of the yes man,” and AR to “not sacrifice something or someone over this gay shit.”

Woman Suing 2 Chainz For $5 Million To Represent Herself In Court

Lawyers are expensive. Christine Chisholm is suing 2 Chainz for $5 million in damages for calling her a "thot" in a video that went viral, and she's doing it without the help of a lawyer. The video in question depicts a backstage conversation between Chisholm and Tity Boi and ends with him asking her to leave. "Before the video had even started I was in the back room and we were just eating chicken wings," she said in an interview with CBS affiliate Charlotte-WBTV. "Actually, until the end, I really didn’t even know if they were recording. And I didn’t know that he was gonna post it on the blogs. I was just in shock.” She claims that she lost her job as a barbershop manager because of the video and can't go out in public without suffering verbal abuse. Though she is opting to forego the assistance of lawyers, she is confident in her chances of winning the case. “I feel like if I’m just honest with everything that really happened then there’s no reason why I wouldn’t win," she said. 2 Chainz lawyers have filed a response claiming that being called such words as "ho" and "skank" "are not factual and thus not defamatory."

All Four Of Fetty Wap's Singles Are In The Top 10 On Billboard's Hot Rap Songs Chart

All four singles that Fetty Wap has released to date are currently in the top 10 of Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart. We knew Fetty Wap was having a huge year pretty early on, around the time that "Trap Queen" started blasting out of roughly 50% of cars in all major cities. In terms of more measurable metrics, he's also killing it. Last month he became the first male rapper since Lil Wayne to have two concurrent top ten singles in Billboard's Hot 100, and now, he's ruling the Hot Rap Songs chart in an even more dominant way. To date, he's released four singles commercially, and now all of them are in the chart's top ten. "Again" is at #8, "679" is at #5, "My Way" is #3, and "Trap Queen" still holds the second spot, making Fetty the first artist to have his first four chart entries all break the top ten. The only other artists to have four songs simultaneously in the Hot Rap Songs top ten are T.I. (who was the last person to do it, back in 2009), 50 Cent, T-Pain, Drake, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Eminem and Iggy Azalea. Congratulations are in order for Fetty-- this is huge.

Tyga Reveals "Fuk What They Talkin Bout" Tracklist

Tyga's new 15-track mixtape will have only one feature. After dropping The Gold Album on Spotify to Birdman's great displeasure, Tyga is full-speed ahead gearing up for his forthcoming mixtape Fuk What They Talkin Bout. After revealing the cover art and release date on Monday, Tyga shared the tracklist this morning. At 15 tracks in length, the mixtapae has only one guest rapper, A.E, who's feature we've already heard. Based on the title and singles “Master $uite,” “Don’t C Me Comin” and “Bu$$in Out Da Bag," it looks like the whole thing will be one long message for the haters. Fuk What They Talkin Bout is out Monday August 24. Let's see if he can turn it up to that "Rack City"-level heat.

Dr. Dre's Assault Of Dee Barnes Was In Original "Straight Outta Compton" Script

Dr. Dre's 1991 assault of Dee Barnes didn't make the final cut. Dee Barnes' recent op-ed in Gawker revisited her 1991 assault at the hands of Dr. Dre and raised questions about the incident's omission from "Straight Outta Compton." It was a reminder that, however popularly and critically acclaimed, the film is a subjective history and does not present a comprehensive account of N.W.A.'s rise to stardom. The LA Times obtained a copy of the original script that included the assault scene in its pages. Here is their description: In the scene, the fictional Dre, “eyes glazed, drunk, with an edge of nastiness, contempt” (per noted from the script) spots Barnes at the party and approaches her. “Saw that [expletive] you did with Cube. Really had you under his spell, huh? Ate up everything he said. Let him diss us. Sell us out.” “I just let him tell his story,” Barnes’ character retorts, “That’s what I do. It’s my job.” “I thought we were cool, you and me,” Dre fires back. “But you don’t give a [expletive]. You just wanna laugh at N.W.A, make us all look like fools.” The conversation escalates, Barnes throws her drink in Dre’s face before he attacks her “flinging her around like a rag-doll, while she screams, cries, begs for him to stop.” Director F. Gary Gray addressed the omission in an interview last week. He emphasized that, with an 150-page script and an original editor's cut running three and half hours long, there was no room for "side stories" that didn't serve the film's central narrative.

Travi$ Scott Shares Standard & Deluxe Artwork For "Rodeo"

Travi$ Scott unveils the two covers of "Rodeo." We're now just a little over two weeks away from release day for Travi$ Scott's hotly anticipated debut album, Rodeo. Today, he's finally revealed another detail of the album: the artwork. Coming in standard and deluxe forms, the album has two different covers, both of which show Scott depicted in action figure form. The only difference is the deluxe art shows this figurine atop a monster truck toy. As per a tweet Scott just sent out, Rodeo is only currently available for pre-order in "SOME COUNTRYS," with iTunes' standard edition containing 14 tracks, including "Antidote" and "3500." It'll become available on US iTunes later tonight. Y'all excited for this?

Eazy-E Covers VIBE

VIBE awards its latest cover to Eazy-E in honor of "Straight Outta Compton." Because of the opening of "Straight Outta Compton," the former members of N.W.A have been drawing more attention than usual, some good and some bad. After Ice Cube and Dr. Dre covered Rolling Stone's most recent issue, hip hop mag VIBE has given its latest cover to the late Eazy-E, who appears over the title "The Ruthless Life Of An American Gangster." Journalist Keith Murphy interviewed E's friends and family for the article, which you can read excerpts of below, and the full thing here. Lil Eazy-E on his father's legacy: “There has been a blatant level of disrespect for my father in the music business,” says Eazy’s sonin a serious tone. “It’s a long time coming, but people are finally acknowledging who he was and what he did for this game.” Ice Cube on the film: “I didn’t think a studio would have the courage to make [Straight Outta Compton]… not the way I wanted it made,” admits an in-a-daze Cube to VIBE. He is holding court at the Beverly Hills’ regal Four Seasons Hotel during a manic press day. A primary producer on Straight Outta Compton alongside Dre, Eazy’s widow Tomica Woods-Wright and the film’s veteran director F. Gary Gray, the Tinsel Town powerhouse is still getting used to the reality that the hell-raising story of N.W.A. has been given the Hollywood red carpet. “At any moment I was ready to bounce because it was like, ‘Yo, if we can’t do this right we shouldn’t do it at all.’” Will.i.am on Eazy: “He never seemed like he was playing a role,” recounts Black Eyed Peas leader Will.i.am, who was discovered and signed to Ruthless Records by Eazy in 1992. “When you listened to N.W.A. you forget that Cube went to college and that Dre was in an electro funk band called World Class Wreckin’ Cru. That’s how real Eazy was. He was the one in the group that really was driving the ‘64 and hustling drugs in the streets to survive.”

Nicki Minaj's Wax "Anaconda" Sculpture Gets Extra Security After Fans Take Inappropriate Photos

So many people have taken lewd photos with Nicki Minaj's new wax sculpture that Madame Tussaud's has had to add extra security. When Nicki Minaj got her very own wax sculpture at the iconic Madame Tussaud's wax museum, she seemed pretty happy about it, Instagramming several pictures of the "Anaconda" video-derived figurine. Azealia Banks, on the other hand, fumed about it. Taking issue with the fact that Minaj was portrayed "bent over on all fours" and not "standing up with a mic in her hand," Banks also predicted that people would pose inappropriately with the sculpture:

MICHAEL JORDAN SAYS HE DOESN'T ACCEPT ANY GIGS UNDER $10 MILLION

Michael Jordan was back in his old stomping grounds of Chicago this week, taking the stand in court on Tuesday for his lawsuit against Dominick's, a now defunct grocery chain, which used his likeness in a print ad which appeared in a 2009 issue of Sports Illustrated. Having recently taken an L in a lawsuit against a Beijing company that specializes in producing fugazzi Jordans, His Airness is thirsty for a win this time around. According to reports, not only did the grocery store fail to ask Jordan for permission to use his likeness but he said, under oath, that he would've rejected the deal anyway because he only accepts media deals that are worth more than $10 million.

Master P Is Hitting The Road To Cast His Upcoming Biopic

Master P is casting for "Ice Cream Man: King Of The South". If you've seen Straight Outta Compton, it's hard to leave the theater without the feeling that spin-off biopics on Dr. Dre and Tupac are being filmed this very minute.

Information on auditions can be found in the flyer in the gallery above. You must be 18 or older, or have the permission of a legal guardian to participate. Who would you like to see Master P?

Audio Push Announce First Headlining Tour, Confirm Debut Album For 2015

Audio Push talk to HNHH about their upcoming debut album and headlining tour. Audio Push have been grinding hard in 2015, releasing not one, but two mixtapes since April -- but they're only getting started. Speaking with HNHH, the duo made up of Oktane and Price spoke of their upcoming debut album, which they feel the time is finally right to release. "We've never put anything out for sale, other than singles here and there, but we've never put out a body of work for sale," said Price. "We're finally putting out our debut album this year, which we're crazy excited about." As far as why the duo have decided to release free music up until now, Price says that their support systems have just recently aligned in the right way to drop the LP. "We finally built up the community of Audio Push lovers and Good Vibe Tribers," he said. "We finally got the support of the label and the whole team -- and we finally got our own team together... our whole team is right. So now it makes sense for Audio Push to put an album out... it's about timing." While the guys were fairly tight-lipped about details, they did share that a headlining tour will happen before the year's end. "We're headlining our own tour after this tour [with Snow Tha Product]," Price revealed. "Audio Push is headlining their first nationwide -- whatever you wanna call it -- tour.

Drake & Future Partied At Magic City Strip Club Last Night

Future took Drake to Atlanta's famous club, Magic City. As we saw from GQ's documentary on Magic City, you can't go into the place without hearing a dozen Future songs (though that's true pretty much everywhere this year). Of course, Esco serving as the strip club's official DJ probably plays a role in the number of times "Freak Hoes" rings out in the club, but either way, there's nowhere in the world the rapper is worshiped more -- so it only made sense that Future would bring Drake through to experience it. In what seems to be the confirmation of a beautiful friendship between Drizzy and Hendrix, the two lit up Magic City Monday night, showing up unannounced as fans in attendance freaked out on social media. One of the clips that made its way online shows Future vibing out with his signature cowboy hat, taking in "March Madness," which we're sure resembled how much of the night went. Check out some tweets from witnesses to this glorious event below. Think we'll be getting more new music from Drake and Future soon?

The Weeknd Models Kanye West's Adidas Collection For GQ

The Weeknd appears in GQ modeling clothes from Kanye West's Adidas line. The Weeknd, as we read during his NYTimes profile, is attempting to evolve and thus come out of his shell a bit more with his upcoming album Beauty Behind the Madness. We've already seen evidence of this, not only with the New York Times interview, but the singer's recent appearance in a Vogue fashion spread alongside the cast of Empire. Today The Weeknd locks in another photo spread with a major fashion magazine, this time men's wear magazine GQ. The Toronto native previews Kanye West's collection with Adidas while speaking briefly on his fame, his sound and more. Read a few excerpts below, and peep the photos from the shoot above. Beauty Behind the Madness drops August 28th. -- Please tell me the story of a pivotal moment while writing or recording this album. The first one that comes to mind is great. I wrote a song with Ed Sheeran that was kind of spontaneous. He was hosting the Much Music Awards in Toronto and I invited him, and pretty much the entire awards show, to my condo to party. It went on until about 5 in the morning but we didn’t write the song until that next day, so you can imagine how that night went. Ed also did a freestyle battle with Waka Flocka in my kitchen. That was pretty dope. Good times. Please tell a story about a breakthrough or “aha!” moment in the studio while working with Max Martin. There were plenty of moments. In a span of like a month, we did so many songs. It was a learning experience for me. When you work with someone who has been doing it for as long as Max Martin you can’t help but learn. Max’s studio used to be Marilyn Monroe’s old house and I came up with the concept for a song called “In the Night” in her bedroom. That was pretty amazing. Unfortunately I couldn’t help but imagine Joe DiMaggio's sperm everywhere on the floor. At our fitting and photo shoot, you found a comfort zone with the Yeezy clothes pretty quickly. What did you like about them? Why do they work for you? I really felt like he targeted someone like me. The camo, the army look, the black boots, the nonchalant kind of vagrant look. I relate to it. It relates to my story. Kanye is such a great friend of mine as well, when he asked me I couldn’t say no. It was the least I could do.

Happy Birthday Lil B: His Most Based Moments

Looking back at some of Lil B's finest moments over the years. Lil B celebrated his 26th birthday today by appearing on MSNBC to discuss Bernie Sanders and the #BlackLivesMatter movement. That Lil B was extended such an invitation testifies to his cultural influence. Through internet savvy, self-confidence, and unrelenting positivity, he has amassed a substantial and rabid fan base that has embraced him as a free spirit and encourages him to do weird shit like knighting people and comparing himself to such luminaries as Jesus and J.K. Rowling. Today we pay homage to The Based God by looking back at a few of his most based moments over the years.

Stream HBK Skipper's New Album, "The Thrill"

Skipper enlists Kool John, Jay Ant, and Iamsu! for his new project, "The Thrill". Skipper has always been one of the most consistent members of HBK, but he's generally operated just below the radar compared to the crews biggest names. His new project, The Thrill, could bring the rapper into the lanes of Iamsu and Sage The Gemini, as he continues to fine-tune his incredibly catchy brand of West Coast-infused rap. Kool John, Jay Ant, CJ, and Dave Steezy, show up as features, while the and the aforementioned Su provides production among the likes of T-Scoob, Trauma Tone, and Shonuff. The Thrill is available on iTunes now, but Skipper has made the project available on SoundCloud as well.

Master P Announces Self-Directed Biopic Slated For 2016 Release

N.W.A. isn't the only one coming out with a rap biopic. With an estimated net worth of $350 million, Master P is one of the most successful rappers and businessman in the history of hip hop.

He co-wrote the script for "Ice Cream Man" and is apparently directing the film as well. The newly released film trailer features grainy footage of a young Percy Miller making the transition from street-hardened gangster to bonafide rap star.
