Vince Staples is set to release his debut album, Summertime 06′, in just a few weeks (June 30th) and today the Long Beach rapper shared the LP’s official 2-disc track list on Twitter. Disc one will feature the album’s first single, Señorita, and comes in at 10 tracks while the album’s second disc will feature 19 tracks. If we were blown away by Staples’ most recent Hell Can Wait EP, we can only imagine how good a 19-track double-album will be.

Check out the Summertime 06′ tracklist below.

Tom Hanks’ Son, Chet Hanks, Calls Out Vic Mensa Amidst N-Word Usage

Is Chet Hanks serious? After receiving a ton of bad press for his rap usage of the N-word, despite being white, Tom Hanks’ son, and therefore having zero street cred, Chet Hanks has now called out SAVEMONEY rapper Vic Mensa. After Vic (rightfully) called Chet Hanks a clown on Instagram, soon after Chet defended his N-word usage (citing freedom of speech), Chet accused Vic of being salty over an alleged encounter at a Beverly Hills party. In reply to Vic’s comment on Instagram, Chet wrote:

“I already knew u was a hater when I saw u at that house party in Beverly Hills but u was mad salty towards me cuz the girl you was with was feeling me and giving me her attention… I remember u taking her ass I’m a corner all heated and shit. U ain’t built like me lil boy, hahahhhhh. Don’t act like u don’t remember!!”

This will probably not end well, but it will be interesting to see if Vic responds. Check out screenshots of the Instagram posts (courtesy of VLAD TV) below.

It’s crazy how Ed Sheeran can flip a Fetty Wap rap song and turn it into a acoustic masterpiece! Maybe Fetty Wap, one of the newest XXL Freshmen, should team up with Ed for a mixtape? With some background support from The Roots, Ed Sheeran paid a visit to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon team and gave an awesome cover to Wap’s hit record, ‘Trap Queen’.

Watch Ed Sheeran’s ‘Trap Queen’ cover below.

Can someone tell me why an artist like Kanye West is hated by the majority of America for not having false modesty (or cocky as some people would rather word it) but Snoop Dogg gets a pass for being the biggest sexist and homophobic person in rap? Not only is Snoop Dogg not generally hated by the public but you never hear of Snoop Dogg losing sponsorships or facing other consequences for the things he does and says.

Tonight, rapper Big K.R.I.T. paid a visit to young Chicago artists as part of Donda House‘s “Behind The Mic” series. With a surprise visit from Chicago’s own, Lupe Fiasco, K.R.I.T. gave some great advice to the up and coming performers. K.R.I.T. will also stick around the Windy City tomorrow, as he headlines Donda House’s spring graduation. Donda’s House is a non-profit organization that honors the educational legacy of Kanye West’s late mother, Dr. Donda West. The organization holds a number of great programs and opportunities for Chicago’s youth, providing a safe and creative environment for Chicago’s aspiring artists.

Donda House’s “Behind the Mic” series is one of our favorite community programs by the non-profit, which has invited Big Sean, No-ID and more to give unique and valuable advice to the community’s brightest. Along with their community showcase at the Common Ground Foundation’s “AAHH! Fest”, Chicago artists have the opportunity to continue the city’s legacy of being one of the world’s best music hubs.
