VIDEO: Mac Miller Says ScHoolboy Q Could Be Bigger Than Kendrick + More w/ DJ Skee
Rapper and recently turned reality star Mac Miller catches up with DJ Skee to share his excitement on some of the unreleased music he’s heard that will be featured on ScHoolboy Q’s upcoming Oxymoron album. Miller also believes that Q’s commercial appeal could potentially reach greater heights than TDE front man Kendrick Lamar and deliver platinum singles. DJ Skee also chimes in and jokingly agrees that Q is somewhat of a hybrid artist who embodies styles from both Waka Flocka and K Dot. Mac also reassures fans that Ab-Soul and Jay Rock’s new music is just as incredible and that each artist’s respective project is something special to look forward to.
As the interview continues, Miller shares his opinion on Lil Wayne and Rick Ross losing their lucrative endorsements with big brands like Mountain Dew and Reebok. With Mac being previously endorsed by Mountain Dew himself, DJ Skee proposes the question of what type of creative approach an artist needs to consider in order to successfully balance out these types of business relationships. Miller stresses the need for artists to first decide on how far they are willing to compromise their creative freedom and to meet companies halfway in order to maintain their integrity as musicians.
VIDEO: 2 Chainz Robbed At Gunpoint In San Francisco
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: Kanye West In The Studio w/ Rick Ruben & Mike Dean Recording “I Am God”
Here is some weird looking and short footage of the self proclaimed “God” rapper Kanye West in the studio working on the controversially titled “I Am God” track off his upcoming Yeezus album. It appears as the final stretch before the release date approaches we are seeing more and more from West in a possible effort to do some sort of promotion at least online for the project. The edit shows West in the studio with everything blacked out around him except Rick Ruben and Mike Dean who are seated right next to Ye as he records in the middle of the room. I wonder what it is they don’t want us or didn’t think was important to see in the studio? Yeezus drops on June 18.
