Touching on ex-girlfriend Naya Rivera’s “tell all” book, his friendship with former GOOD Music rapper Kid Cudi and more, Big Sean gives us a window into his life on his new record, ‘No More Interviews’. Produced by Amarie Johnson and Big Sean himself, Sean expresses his frustrations over media and drama in the new track.

“Don’t ask me no stupid questions, are you still signed to Ye questions, no Roc Nation questions, or who I’m dating questions. No more interviews, unless you want to talk about the music or something that has a different view.”

Especially noteworthy from the new track is Sean addressing Kid Cudi’s beef towards him, where Cudi called Big Sean and his girlfriend, singer Jhene Aiko, a “corn ball a** n*gga” and a “bum b*tch” earlier this year, likely because Jhene is recently separated from Cudi’s long-time producer Dot Da Genius. According to ‘No More Interviews’, Sean was surprised to hear that his former label-mate had such words for him. Sean says that Cudi was “forever grateful” for putting him on a record with Nas, and added that he is still praying for Cudi, while he is currently in rehab for depression.

Milwaukee’s historic venue, The Rave, experienced another packed and memorable performance from Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller tonight, as he brought The Divine Feminine Tour to the familiar venue. With opening sets from ClockworldDJ and Soulection, Miller always brings great company when he comes to Wisconsin. His past opening artists have included Chance The Rapper, Earl Sweatshirt and Vince Staples (just to name a few), so don’t be surprised if one of Mac’s openers headlines their own Milwaukee concert in the future.

After the opening performances set the tone for the night, it was time for Mac Miller to greet his Milwaukee fans. Miller started off his set with his Ty Dolla $ign collaboration ‘Cinderella’, off Miller’s fourth studio album, The Divine Feminine, which released just last month. One of the more mellow tracks from his performance tonight, Miller performed a variety of records throughout the show, mellow and hype, new and old; including a number of songs from his new LP, as well as records from his entire discography of albums and mixtapes.

Highlights of the night were anything but few and far between, as the Wisconsin crowd matched Miller’s energy until he stepped off stage after his encore performances. However Miller’s energetic performance of ‘Loud’, a track which Miller used to open his last headlining tour, was a personal favorite. If Mac Miller ever slows down, which is unlikely given that he continues to hold onto his core fan base while gradually picking up new audiences every year, he will always have a second home in Milwaukee, as they will always show up for a great Mac Miller show.

Check out our photos below and make sure you get your tickets for The Divine Feminine Tour before they are all sold out!

Kid Cudi’s Manager Responds to Drake’s “Two Birds One Stone” Diss

Everyone seems to be taking sides ever since the release of Drake’s new record ‘Two Birds One Stone’, where the 6 God takes shots at Kid Cudi, among others. And while Cudi is still in rehab for his depression, we finally have a response from his team as his manager, Dennis Cummings, has responded.

“Drake corny as fuck,” Cummings said via his Twitter. Cudi’s manager also added, “How Aubrey (Drake) and his writers take a shot with the same hands they used to beg for a feature???”

While Cudi and Drake both have made some incredible music, everyone seems to think that one or the other is in the wrong, and Drake has faced a lot of criticism for dissing Cudi since. On ‘Two Birds One Stone’, Drake raps, “you were the man on the moon, now you just go through your phases,” is one particular lyric that Cudi fans took issue with, for potentially making light of depression and metal illness.

Although many think that Drake shouldn’t have brought up Cudi’s mental illness issues, many still side with Drake since Kid Cudi started the beef by calling out Drake and Kanye West on Twitter. Cudi went on a Twitter rant last month saying, “everyone thinks they’re soooo great. Talkin top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them”, then specifically calling out Drake and Kanye. Should being depressed give a rapper a free pass to call out whoever they want?

We definitely hope Kid Cudi gets better soon, but lets hope Kanye, Cudi and Drake can all get along in the near future. Check out Cudi’s manager’s response below!
