Posted by N/A on

During Sunday’s NBA Playoff game between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, Jay-Z decided to take over halftime with his Magna Carta Holy Grail album announcement.  Surrounded in the studio with the likes of Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Pharrell, and Swizz Beatz Hov and company played production snippets that more than likely will be featured on the highly anticipated upcoming album.  With a fun and joking demeanor, Jay-Z laid “the blueprint” out for what was to come and shared his creative thoughts on the direction for the project.

The more shocking part of the commercial announcement is Jigga Man’s exclusive deal with Samsung to have a priority release of the album three days in advance for the first million Samsung Galaxy mobile users.  Owners of the phone will have the opportunity to download a Google Play application which will give them exclusive access to Jay-Z’s 12th album for completely free at 12:01 a.m. on July 4.

VIDEO: Kanye West – American Psycho | Yeezus Trailer

Posted by N/A on

Kanye West continues his artistic promotional run for his upcoming album Yeezus with a new teaser which has recently hit the net.  The trailer which serves as a teaser to the album features Scott Disick portraying actor Christian Bale’s character and reenacting a scene from the 2000 film American Psycho.  Also starring the in the trailer as a gullible victim is Kim Kardashian’s friend Jonathan Cheban.  

In the clip above, Disick is seen behaving strangely, pacing back and forth, praising Kanye West’s Yeezus album while “New Slaves” plays in the background, and wielding an axe to which he eventually uses to gruesomely kill Cheban’s character.  For Kanye, this type of outside the box promotion works simply because it’s different and will prompt a discussion among viewers.  

VIDEO: 2 Chainz Robbed At Gunpoint In San Francisco

Posted by N/A on

In this day and age it would seem that almost anything that happens out in public isn’t too far out of reach from a camera and under some sort of surveillance.  Unfortunately, for rapper 2 Chainz his recent run in with an armed gunman over the weekend in San Francisco was captured on video and obtained by the all seeing eye of TMZ.  In the footage above, Tity Boi can be seen walking down Howard Street with his entourage when a gunman approaches the group and heads directly for the G.O.O.D. Music rapper with the intent to rob him.

Feeling froggy, 2 Chainz jumps into action and dashes off behind a number of his friends/security in an attempt to out run his would-be attacker and keep his valuables.  Appearing not exactly sure where to go and only a few feet away from the suspect, the rapper hesitates running into traffic, jumps back onto the sidewalk where a wall is there to greet him, and subsequently loses his balance and trips straight onto the ground.  At gunpoint, the armed suspect proceeds to rob 2 Chainz and apparently took his phone and wallet.  Initially following reports of the robbery, 2 Chainz denied the incident ever occurred and since the release of the footage neither Def Jam or 2 Chainz has commented on the matter.

VIDEO: Papoose Invades Summer Jam XX Stage w/ Help From Kendrick Lamar

Posted by N/A on

If you haven’t already heard, Papoose pulled a “Lil Mama” last night at HOT 97’s annual Summer Jam concert and was able to steal the stage for a one song performance of his new single “Get At Me” featuring Ron Browz.  Following Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, and ScHoolboy Q’s performance the crowd was treated to a short set from New York MC Papoose who appeared to surprise everyone with his presence.  After thoroughly investigating the matter, HOT 97’s Ebro discovered that Pap was able to pull off the stunt with the help of Kendrick Lamar and the TDE crew who purposely finished their set close to five minutes early in order to allow Pap the opportunity to perform.  In the video clip below, watch as Papoose unexpectedly hits the stage and does his thing.

Ebro was also able to get the truth out from fellow radio host Peter Rosenberg the following morning who came clean that he secretly knew Papoose’s performance was going to go down but remained silent on that matter.  According to Rosenberg and Ebro, the motive behind Kendrick’s assist was because years prior when K Dot was an upcoming artist Papoose looked out and took care of him.  Take a look at the video footage below to see Ebro break the whole incident down live on the air during “The Realness” portion of the show.

In other news, Papoose did reveal that female rapper Remy Ma will be home sometime next year.  It’s going to be interesting to see what the two artists have previously recorded together or what will come from any future studio sessions.  Check out the audio/video below to hear Pap’s side of how it all went down.
