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

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.

yeezus-official-artworkKanye West’s new album cover artwork was finally revealed.  This looks pretty interesting to say the least.  It appears to be a melted down Jesus Piece or some sort of distorted gold object with a simple piece of red tape that reads Yeezus.  Last night Kanye took over SNL and delivered two new songs with “Black Skinhead” and “New Slaves”.  Ye’s new album is now available for pre order on his official website and will be available to purchase on June 18 which is the mysterious date he dropped for fans via his twitter account a few weeks back.

In other news, Kim Kardashian took to her instagram and previewed a new Red colorway of the Air Yeezy II’s that Mr. West wore during his performance on SNL.  Check out a sneak peek below.

VIDEO: Rock The Bells 2004 Documentary (Wu-Tang Reunion Show)

This is an interesting documentary I caught on the Fuse channel maybe almost a year and a half ago.  It’s really cool and takes you behind the scenes during the 2004 festival.  This was a big moment in hip-hop history and something the fans were looking forward to for quite some time.  However, the idea of getting every member of the Wu-Tang together again for a live performance was definitely easier said then done.  If you like great documentaries and especially ones about hip hop you’ll love this one.
