Showing a total lack of class, Amber Rose today took shots at her ex-boyfriend Kanye West’s wife Kim Kardashian-West on Twitter, over comments that were not even made from Kim herself. Less than an hour ago on Twitter, Amber Rose tweeted (which has since been deleted) to Khloe Kardashian “I’ll be that lil whore to support my family like ur older sister is a whore 2 support hers. We’re even,” referring to Kim’s sextape with singer Ray J and Khloe Kardashian’s recent comments about Rose. Khloe soon responded telling Rose, “well damn,I didn’t realize I called you a whore,” a tweet which has also since been deleted. A low blow to take shots at someone who didn’t instigate the beef in the first place (whether or not Khloe called Amber a whore), but we guess given all of Kanye and Kim’s recent success, it’s natural to be jealous. Check out some of the fan RTs of the original tweets below.
Earlier this month we speculated as to whether Big Sean was preparing for a Dark Sky Paradise Tour. Now it appears like the we may have the first date of a potential stop on the tour, as Big Sean is scheduled to perform at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI on May 23. Tickets for the show are $30 to $35 each, available 10 a.m. this Friday at The Rave‘s box office and their official website. After the success of his hit track ‘IDFWU’ and his new Drake and Kanye assisted single ‘Blessings‘, Dark Sky Paradise is looking to be Sean’s best album yet, so you will NOT want to miss out on this show. Also if his recent concert at the House of Blues is any indication, this may be Sean’s best tour yet. Check out Big Sean preparing for a potential tour below, and read our interview with Sean last month, here.
Let’s admit it, we all have a favorite rapper of two that we wish we started listening to well beyond when we actually did. So for our new series we will be showcasing an artist that you probably should be listening to by now, but for whatever reason maybe they flew under your radar, and you want to get up to date before they continue to take off. So for this week, there is no better rapper to showcase than Chicago’s Vic Mensa. With the release of Kanye, Vic, and Sia’s new collaboration ‘Wolves‘, there will be a lot of rap fans who are just now learning all there is to know about the SAVEMONEY rapper. Vic has been huge in the city of Chicago for quite some time, but maybe you have slept on him for too long. Don’t worry! We got you covered with a Late Pass.
Earlier today we speculated that Kanye West may be performing his new track ‘Wolves‘ with Vic Mensa and Sia, for Saturday Night Live’s 40th Anniversary Special on NBC. As it turns out, we were right, as Chicago’s Vic Mensa and ‘Chandelier’ singer Sia joined Kanye for their first ever live performance of the song. For those who have not yet heard the amazing new collaboration from the Chicago legend and Chicago’s rising star, ‘Wolves’ is the first track off Kanye’s forthcoming LP and is produced by Cashmere Cat. Although Kanye seemed to have lost his voice before the performance (where he also performed ‘Jesus Walks’ and ‘Only One’), Ye still managed to deliver. Check out the performance below.
Matt Lauer and Kanye West haven’t had the best history, to say the least. Now it seems like things have escalated even further. What started with an appearanceby Kanye on the Today Show with Matt Lauer in 2010, led to a series of tweets by Kanye, voicing his frustration. “While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the ‘MTV’ under me with audio!” Kanye tweeted. “I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show … and that’s a very nice way for me to put it!” Ever since then, Kanye didn’t seem to forgive or forget, as he addressed his dislike of Lauer during one of his famous Yeezus Tourrants, just over a year ago.
You guessed it, OG Maco’s new 11-track EP 15 is here! 11 tracks may be a little much for an EP, but we aren’t the type to complain about getting more music. The project has production from Metro Boomin and TM 88, and can be streamed in its entirety below.
Listen to Juicy J and Mike Will Made It’s new collaboration ‘I’m Sicka’. The track will appear on Juicy’s upcoming sequel to his 2011 Blue Dream & Lean mixtape, of course titled Blue Dream & Lean 2. Check out ‘I’m Sicka’ below and look out for Juicy’s new mixtape, coming out tomorrow, February 16th.
[UPDATE #2: Turns out we were right! Check out the performance here!]
Is Kanye performing his new song ‘Wolves‘ with Vic Mensa tonight, for Saturday Night Live‘s 40th Anniversary special? It sure looks like it. A couple weeks ago it was revealed that Kanye was one of the performers for the upcoming special, which airs tonight on NBC (8PM/EST). And now more and more signs point to Kanye and Vic’s first performance of their Sia and Cashmere Cat produced collaboration.
