Here Are The Sales Projections For Gucci Mane's "Everybody Looking"

How much does Gucci's comeback measure up to in sales? Gucci Mane has Everybody Looking with the release of his new album, but does he have everybody buying? Judging by the initial sales projections, he's got a fairly solid number of spectators opening their wallets. According to Hits Daily Double, Guwop is set to move 69,000-74,000 units of his new album, including streams, making it 45-50,000 in pure sales. These days, that's certainly nothing to scoff at. It's within the same ballpark of his 2009 album, The State Vs. Radric Davis, which sold 89,000 first week (which, to be fair, was before streaming came into the equation). It's expected to debut at #2 behind (you guessed it) Drake's VIEWS. Of course, we won't have any official figure until later in the week, so if you're looking for Wop to do numbers this week, make sure to grab the LP on iTunes.

New York Knicks Sign Amar'e Stoudemire So He Can Retire As A Knick

"Once a Knick always a Knick" The New York Knicks have officially signed Amar'e Stoudemire, but only as a technicality so that he could retire as a member of the Knicks. Not the Phoenix Suns, the team that he was with for his first 8 seasons and experienced the best years of his career with. The New York Knicks. The six-time All Star (five of which were as a member of the Suns) made the announcement today in which he said his heart has remained in the Big Apple and proclaimed, "Once a Knick, always a Knick." Stoudemire played a crucial role in bringing the Knicks somewhat into relevance back in 2010 which led to them landing Carmelo Anthony via trade, but there's no denying that this is a very bizarre scenario considering most remember his best years as a dominant force for the Phoenix Suns.

Travis Scott Announces Release Date For "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight"

On Tuesday night in NYC, Travis was performing a show at the Ford Amphitheatre in Coney Island where he decided to announce to the crowd the release date to his highly anticipated album. According to Travis, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight will be dropping August 5th, which happens to be next Friday. The album will be released via Apple Music and feature the lead single “Pick Up The Phone” with Young Thug & Quavo. In addition to the announcement, Travis also shared a never-before-heard record off the album as well, which sounds absolutely fire from what we can hear.

Did Drake Take Shots At Tory Lanez On His "Summer Sixteen" Tour?

Kicking off the "Summer Sixteen" Tour, Drake wastes little time in sending some shots at Tory Lanez. There looks to be a new chapter in the on-going feud between Toronto artists Drake & Tory Lanez. On Wednesday night, Drake’s “Summer Sixteen” Tour rolled into Austin, Texas, where the 6 God wasted little time in sending some subtle shots jabs at what people are believing is aimed at Tory Lanez. To kick off the show, Drake performed his hit song “Summer Sixteen,” and decided to slightly alter the opening lyrics to his verse, rapping “All you boys doing fake controllas wanna be me a little?" While the lyrics could be intended for Tyga, who recently released a “1 Of 1” song that sounds eerily similar to “Controlla,” it’s safe to say that’s not the case, and Drizzy had Tory on his mind when switching things up. Coincidentally, Tory just so happened to release a new remix over Drake’s “Controlla” a couple weeks ago, which has been receiving good feedback from fans. Add that to their already previous issues and you have yourself the latest chapter in the "New Toronto" saga.

The Game, Snoop Dogg & Minister Farrakhan Host Anti-Violence Gang Summit

Earlier today, The Game and Snoop Dogg hosted a citywide summit that encouraged gang members to unite against stopping violence within their communities. Earlier this month, shortly after the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, The Game and Snoop Dogg helped kickstart a campaign called H.U.N.T., which stands for "Hate Us Not Today." Their first initiative was to lead a peaceful march to the LAPD Headquarters, where both rappers met with top-ranking officials from the department. Earlier today, H.U.N.T. teamed up with the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan to host a citywide forum that specifically called for the presence of gang leaders in the greater Los Angeles area. The goal of the summit was to unite men from opposing gangs in an effort to bring forth solutions about putting an end to violence within the black and brown communities. The Game announced the event earlier today on his Instagram. He began the invitation by writing, "Los Angeles, on behalf of myself, Snoop Dogg, and the honorable Louis Farrakhan, I want to extend the invitation to all CRIPS, BLOODS, ESE's & all other gang members, major figures & GANG LEADERS from every hood in our city as well as the surrounding cities to our meeting 11am this morning."

Rae Sremmurd & Migos To Drop "Look Alive" Remix

Doesn't get more lit than this. Rae Sremmurd is about to drop the "Look Alive" remix, featuring the Migos. Big-time remix incoming. The two waviest groups in the game, one a duo and one a trio -- both made up of blood relatives, are teaming up to drop a remix of one of the year's hottest club songs: "Look Alive." The track, released in April, is the third single off Rae Sremmurd's upcoming sophomore album, SremmLife 2. For the remix, brothers Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi have recruited the three cousins who make up the Migos. The club is hypnotized by a melodic spell any time the DJ drops "Look Alive." Now just imagine what'll happen with the addition of three saucy new verses from Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff. "Look Alive" is produced by Mike Will Made-It.

Boosie Badazz: Baton Rouge Violence Won't Stop Until Killer Cops Are Convicted

The Baton Rouge rap hero speaks on today's shooting that killed three police officers in his hometown. He fears that the violence will only continue until the officers who have killed black civilians are tried and convicted. The city of Baton Rouge has been in anguish ever since the police killing of Alton Sterling. Today, the Louisiana capital was struck with more tragedy, as a gunman went on a rampage that killed three Baton Rouge police officers and injured three others. The suspect, whom has been identified as Gavin Eugene Long of Kansas City, Missouri, has been killed. He was an ex-Marine, and today was reportedly his 29th birthday. One of the biggest celebrities to come out of Baton Rouge, Boosie Badazz, has shared his thoughts on the madness that has recently transpired in his hometown. Speaking to TMZ, Boosie explains how the killing of Alton Sterling, whose funeral was held yesterday, has struck anger in most everyone he has talked to in Baton Rouge, both young an old. He says that both police and civilians have found themselves in a precarious situation, and he believes that the climate will only continue to get more hostile until officers like those involved in the killing of Alton Sterling are held responsible and punished accordingly. "If that guy don't get indicted and sent to prison for life," says Boosie, "It's gonna be another one. It's gonna be another shooting."

Joe Budden Responds To Drake's Diss On French Montana's "No Shopping"

Joe Budden hits Drake with a crying Jordan meme after hearing the OVO boss' diss on French Montana's new single, "No Shopping." As promised, tonight's episode of OVO Sound Radio included the premiere of French Montana's new Drake-featuring single: "No Shopping." News of the collab first broke in May, when French Montana shared a brief snippet of the song, during which Drake can be heard beginning his verse by rapping, "Pump, pump it up." The line was presumed to be a shot at Joe Budden, who had recently given VIEWS a decidedly negative review on his podcast. Now that the full version of "No Shopping" is here, it's clear that the "Pump It Up" reference was no accident. Much of Drake's verse is directed at Budden, whom he denounces as a one-hit wonder. "You let me turn into the n*gga that you almost was," he raps. Drake doesn't mention Budden by name until toward the end of his verse, when he raps, "Last week, Budden runnin' in the room / This week sold 1.2." See the full lyrics of Drake's "No Shopping" verse at the bottom of the page. Judging by his recent tweets and retweets, Budden has heard "No Shopping," and he has already proclaimed himself to be the victor of the beef, clearly feeling that Drake's bars on the new French Montana single don't stand up to the two diss tracks he has already put out, starting at the end of last month with "Making a Murderer" and then another one, "Wake," less than a week later. Budden provided his first response to "No Shopping" by retweeting an image of a drained iPhone battery, suggesting that Drake's latest raps are the opposite of "Charged Up." He then posted another meme -- not exactly a creative one, but a successful effort nonetheless -- showing the crying Jordan face pasted onto the head of the OVO owl. Budden has since responded to a few of his followers who also agreed that Drake's "No Shopping" response was lackluster.

Fat Joe, Remy Ma & French Montana Have Another Single Coming

"All The Way Up" was just the beginning. Fat Joe and Remy Ma's "All The Way Up" is the surprise hit of the summer; a smash single that is both rooted in New York's history, and in touch with the current rap landscape. The French Montana-assisted track is still everywhere, particularly in NY, but Fat Joe has revealed in a new interview that he and Remy will be taking the same formula to the follow-up next month. "New single August 1st. It's called 'Looks Like I'm Cooking'. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Me, Remy, and French," he said. "We going out to Dubai to shoot the video next week. We're gonna be acting real ignorant in the desert, and look for some white tigers." The single, of course, is slated for Joe and Remy's upcoming collaborative album, Plata o Plomo, which should be on its way soon.

Multiple Police Officers Shot In Baton Rouge

Three officers have been killed and 3 others are wounded. 6 officers have reportedly been shot in Baton Rouge in an attack suspected to be have been carried out by mutiple gunmen at 10 AM Eastern time. CNN reports that 3 of the officers have died from their gunshot wounds, while the other three remain in hospital. One of the suspects is dead, while their may be two others who are still at large, according to authorities. The city has been experiencing tension between police and protesters following the killing of Alton Sterling last week, but there is no indication that this shooting is linked to that event. Police are reported to have received a call about a "suspicious person walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle," this morning, according to a source close to CNN. When police arrived on the scene, shooting began. Further updates will be provided as details arrive

Young Thug Models Calvin Klein Womenswear In Fall 2016 Campaign

Young Thug rejects the idea of gender and models womenswear for Calvin Klein's new fall campaign. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Frank Ocean and Young Thug had been selected as models for Calvin Klein's Fall 2016 Global Campaign. The fashion house soon released a short ad in promotion of Thug's involvement in the campaign, and the video finds the boundary-pushing Atlanta rapper explaining his belief that "there's no such thing as gender." "You could be a gangster in a dress, you could be a gangster in baggy pants," he also said. Well, in his first official portrait for Calvin Klein, Thug has decided to appear both as as a gangster in a dress and one with baggy pants. All of the pieces he wears in the new ad are part of the womenswear component of Calvin Klein's new fashion line.

K Camp Announces “Lyric Ave” EP

K Camp is getting ready to release the "Lyric Ave" EP. K Camp has been relatively quiet since he last dropped off hisK.I.S.S. 3 mixtape back in December, but thankfully that’s all about to change soon. Out of nowhere Monday night, the Milwaukee native decided to come through and share a new freestyle over Drake’s “4PM In Calabasas” called “6 PM On Lyric,” which he used as a platform to announce his next project… Lyric Ave EP. Unfortunately, K Camp didn’t reveal much else about the EP, like a release date or what we can expect to hear on it, but he did share a couple tentative cover arts on his IG page Monday evening. While we wait further information to surface, revisit “6 PM On Lyric” here in the meantime, and check out the artwork(s) below. Who's ready for a new project from King Slum?

Rich Homie Quan Forgets Lyrics To Biggie’s Verse During VH1 Hip-Hop Honors

Watch Rich Homie Quan forget the lyrics to B.I.G's "Get Money" during VH1's Hip-Hop Honors concert. During Monday night’s VH1 Hip-Hop Honors concert, honoree Lil Kim took the stage to perform the classic Junior M.A.F.I.A. anthem "Get Money,” and for Biggie’s verse she decided to bring out ATL rapper Rich Homie Quan to help assist her. However, assisting Lil Kim is something Quan didn’t come close to doing, but rather instead he straight up forgot the lyrics to one of Biggie’s most famous verses. Rocking Biggie’s Coogi sweater, Quan stepped to the stage to mumble a few words, before going quiet & awkwardly ad-libing his way through the verse. Of course, twitter had a field day on the mishap, and went hard at Quan for his lack of preparation.

The Game's Son Starts GoFundMe In Support Of Arkansas Police Officer Tommy Norman

The Game's son, Harlem, starts a GoFundMe page to raise money for the charity work of Arkansas Police Officer Tommy Norman. Started earlier today, the campaign has already raised over $20,000 more than its original goal of $10,000. Many rappers took part in protests following the tragic wave of violence that ensued last week, beginning with the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, and continuing with an attack on a peaceful protest in Dallas on Thursday night that resulted in the murders of five police officers. The Game has stepped up to demand change, and he has done so in a peaceful manner, approaching police with the aim of reconciliation rather than contempt. On Friday (July 8), he and Snoop Dogg hosted a peaceful all-male march to the LAPD headquarters. Their intent was to "erase the fear of one another" that stands between police and minorities, and they even met with Police Chief Charlie Back and other top-ranking LAPD officers. It's now clear that The Game has been instructing his oldest son, Harlem, to recognize that the opportunity for goodwill exists within the police community, as Harlem has created a GoFundMe page for Arkansas police officer Tommy Norman in order to help the officer sustain his philanthropic efforts to the predominantly black community he serves in North Little Rock. Game shared Harlem's GoFundMe initiative through an Instagram post earlier today. He explained how he had talked to his son about the difference between good cops and bad ones, which motivated Harlem to try to find an example of a good one, eventually discovering the charitable efforts of Officer Norman. Harlem then had the idea of starting a GoFundMe page so that Norman can continue to "stuff his trunk with toys, goodies, food, and other things to help him continue contributing to the kids and people in Little Rock, Arkansas." Harlem's goal was to raise $10,000 for Officer Norman -- an amount that the GoFundMe drive has already achieved. As of 8pm on Sunday night (July 10), the "a good son for a good cop" fundraising effort has already raised over $32,000.

Future Announces New "Forever Or NEVER" Mixtape

Future announces his plans to drop "Forever or NEVER," which will be his first tape since "Purple Reign." After taking a hiatus upon inundating the game with two excellent projects in the first month of the year, Future has begun to tighten his grasp on Summer Sixteen. These days, there are only a couple of artists whose releases are greeted with a similar level of anticipation, especially when it comes to mixtapes. He's basically already dropped one solid project this summer with DJ Esco's Project E.T., which contained beauties like "Married to the Game," "Too Much Sauce," and "Who." He has now announced his next tape, Forever or NEVER, which will be dedicated to his Freebandz team and label. It's unclear if Future will be the lead artist on Forever or NEVER, or if it will be a collaborative release between all of the artists in the Freebandz Gang. Regardless, it seems that Future is spearheading the project, and thus every track should have his stamp of approval. Yesterday's "Havin It," a Zaytoven-produced collab between Future and his Freebandz artist Maceo, could be the first preview of Forever or NEVER. The announcement comes shortly after Zaytoven revealed that Beast Mode 16, the follow-up to his and Future's beloved joint mixtape from January 2015, is almost complete and that the tape will include at least one collaboration with Future's "Summer Sixteen" tourmate, Drake. If Future's tweets are to be trusted, then Forever or NEVER will arrive before Beast Mode 16. If Project ET, Forever orNEVER, and Beast Mode 16 all touch down in the same summer, then the whole game will experience a Freebandz takeover. Be warned: "If u lowkey hating on yo homie or your homies, then this tape not for u." Right now, the Freebandz Gang consists of Future, Young Scooter, Zoey Dollaz, Doe Boy, Maceo, Casino, Test, and more. Producer Metro Boomin, an inseparable part of Future's current success, is also part of the team.

Drake Shares Eulogy For Megan Flores, The Young Cancer Patient To Whom "VIEWS" Is Dedicated

Drake and Rihanna pay tribute to their devoted young fan Megan Flores, who recently lost her battle with cancer. Yesterday (July 10), Drake revealed that Megan Flores, the adolescent girl to whom he dedicated his latest album, VIEWS, had lost her battle with cancer. Megan, known to fellow fans as OVO Megan, considered herself to be Drake's biggest admirer, and earlier this year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation set up a meeting between Drake and Megan in the Miami hospital in which she was being treated. Drake had been in Miami as a special guest on Rihanna's "ANTI" tour, and Rihanna also came to the hospital to meet Megan and pose for pictures with her and Drake. Rihanna, too, paid tribute to Megan on social media upon hearing of her death.

Dwyane Wade Has Informed The Chicago Bulls He Is Going To Sign With Them

D-Wade is going back to his hometown. After 13 seasons with the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade is moving on. Wade has informed the Chicago Bulls that he will be signing with them, despite the fact that Miami (and Denver) had more money to offer. Early reports suggest the deal with Chicago is for 2-years, $47 million. In order to pull off this move, the Bulls will need to unload some contracts and they're working to complete deals to trade Jose Calderon and Mike Dunleavy to help clear space for D-Wade. Even at 34 years old, Wade averaged 19 points, 4.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game for the Heat last season and now he'll get to play alongside one of the best two-way guards in the game, Jimmy Butler. And Rajon Rondo. The 13-year vet grew up in Chicago but has played his professional entire career in Miami, making 12 All-Star games and winning three NBA titles.

Ray J Might Be The First Person To Sue Kanye West Over “Famous” Video

Ray J might be taking up Kanye's dare to sue him. It appears Kanye’s “wish” to be sued over the controversial “Famous” video may actually come true. According to reports & the latest edition of Heat Magazine, Ray J & his manager, David Weintraub, are considering taking legal action against the G.O.O.D. Music CEO for his naked inclusion in the latest video off The Life Of Pablo. "We’re talking about potentially doing something," Weintraub told Heat. "There’s too many times Kanye has done this. You can’t really continue to use people’s likenesses without either compensation or clearance. It seems to be becoming an issue—this is like the fourth time in six months he’s done this. We haven’t really worked anything out. There were kind of discussions but it’s getting old, so our legal team is working out what we want to do with everything." Last week, Entertainment Tonight spoke with Ray J, who apparently isn’t happy about the mess the controversial video has caused not only for himself, but for his fiancĂ© Princess as well. Ray J says “I'm engaged. My marriage is all messed up 'cause of craziness. I'm not part of nothing crazy. I walk down a good path. My fiancee tripping. It's all bad in my world, and that ain't cool. Don't put me part of nothing that's weird, that don't make no sense. Can I grow up?” Whether or not Ray & his team will follow through with a lawsuit is another story, but it sounds like they want to. We’ll continue to keep you posted if any more on this story develops however.

Drake & Kanye West React To The Death Of Alton Sterling

Drake pens a letter to his followers about the senseless death of Alton Sterling. Following the death of 37-year old Alton Sterling, who was senselessly gunned down by ANOTHER police officer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana this week, the hip-hop community has once again expressed their incredible outrage & disbelief on the matter. Everyone from Meek Mill, The Game, Talib Kweli, Chuck D & more went to social media to express their emotions following the video that surfaced Tuesday night of Sterling getting shot in the back. And hours later, Drake & Kanye West decided to chime in on the situation as well. Kanye took to twitter to post an IG link of the video footage that had the hashtags #RIPAltonSterling, #StandForSomethingOrFallForAnything. Whereas Drake on the other hand took the actual time out of his day to pen a letter to his followers expressing his concerns & emotions on the situation.
