All Eyes On The 6 God An unexpected beef began last week between rappers Drake and Meek Mill. Starting from the world's largest gossip site, twitter where all the drama usually takes place, Meek Mill decided to go on a rant about the music industry fakeness. In particularly Drake was addressed Meek saying "Drake doesn't write his own raps," and was offended when a fan compared the two. Although I've never heard anyone compare Meek & Drake, and their far from alike in my opinion. Although Meek named his ghost writer, Quentin Miller, who's seen in photos with the OVO camp. Neither Quentin nor Drake have officially addressed the allegations or the beef. However Drake released a new song "Charged Up" yesterday, and of course fans are saying this is a response to Meek. Listen for yourself! I really dislike the song as whole. Charged Up doesn't sound like a diss song and is definitely not a direct response towards Meek. The song sounds lik

Music Monday C4   Kaboom  grew up listening to the hip hop genre but his deepest inner most influence stems from his father, a Brooklyn NY native who was also a composer and lyricist.   At the age of 15, C4   Kaboom  experienced his first on-stage hip hop performance at the  Orpheum Theatre  in Tampa FL as part of a duo “unstoppable force”.   His solo song, “ghetto love” literally mesmerized and moved the crowd.   During his senior year in high school  C4   Kaboom  performed at the  State Theater in St Petersburg ,  FL  in his first  Home Grown Hip Hop show .  His stage performance created an electrifying buzz among the crowd.  The next year C4   Kaboom  performed at the  Local 662 Club  in  St. Petersburg, FL  in  Homegrown Hip Hop 2 , where his  mixtape Punchline Season 1  was debuted and where he  transitioned  from the stage name “ mr  phenomenal” into “ C4  Kaboom , featuring ODMFW”.  It was amazing to watch ½ of the crowd bounce vigorously to the beat and the other ½ star gazi

 Still Wondering If Earth Is The Only Populated Planet  Close cousins? Comparison between Earth and Kepler-452b and their host stars Scientists using data from NASA's Kepler mission have confirmed the first near-Earth-size planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a sun-like star. The habitable zone is the region around a star where temperatures are just right for water to exist in its liquid form. The artistic concept compares Earth (left) to the new planet, called Kepler-452b, which is about 60 percent larger. The illustration r epresents one possible appearance for Kepler-452b -- scientists do not know whether the planet has oceans and continents like Earth. Both planets orbit a G2-type star of about the same temperature; however, the star hosting Kepler-452b is 6 billion years old, 1.5 billion years older than our sun. As stars age, they become larger, hotter and brighter, as represented in the illustration. Kepler-452b's star appears a bit larger and brighter.

Dirty Sprite 2  Released: July 17, 2015 In the midst of the baby mama drama and twitter arguments, Future Hendrix managed to release his hot new album Dirty Sprite 2 . This is the third studio album from Future, with only one feature, rapper pal Drake. Which is a major difference from the sophomore album Honest that contains 9 features. In recent interviews Future discusses going back to his roots, the ATL, in order to recreate himself and his fans love for the Future they've always known. I should go into the Ciara & Future drama, because of his recent comments regarding Ciara bringing their son around her new boo, Russell Wilson. Since the break up with Future and singer Ciara the Futurehive is buzzing saying, "he's back!" I to am enjoying Dirty Sprite 2 . The production fits the album and Future's voice. The summer club bangerz have finally arrived. Despite the "promoting of drug use" comments made, but taken out of context by rapper OG Mac

Album On The Way Within only 2 hours of releasing their new single "She's Kinda Hot," pop/punk/pop/rock band 5 Seconds of Summer is already trending worldwide. The 5Sos fam were a little confused on Wednesday after the band posted on their 5onthewall website, a 2 hour video of a painter painting the cover art for the unexpected single. I keep replaying "She's Kinda Hot," the catchy tune will not leave my head, this makes me excited for their sophomore album, which the band have yet to reveal a title or release date. Although "She's Kinda Hot" is a different sound from their self-titled debut album 5 Seconds of Summer . The 5sos fam love the song many saying this solidifies the band as a pop/punk/pop/rock band and definitely not a "boy band" as the haters might say. "She's Kinda Hot" is currently the #1 song in 33 countries on iTunes. The lyric video for the song has already been posted on YouTube. Now listen for yours

18th Dynasty The Gold Album is the fourth album by Cash Money rapper Tyga, which released on June 23, 2015. The album features Lil Wayne and Boosie, and I know I'm a month late, but I had to set aside my bias-ness in order to give what I believe is an accurate review. So after thoroughly listening to Tyga's new album, I'm still confused. The beats were dope, the cover art is dope, Tyga's flow is doooope, but the lyrics, so-so, I'm all for lyricism, but the lyrics have to be in-sync with the beat is what makes an album great! Knowing you can completely thrive while expressing who you are while hiding in the shade. You also will need to be able to use the flow like building from one song to the next. The Gold Album, I just didn't hear that sequence inside of the album, or am I wrong? The Gold album leaves clues, since we're all so interested in his life he sarcastically implies.  Unaware of who's he speaking about and/or to someone, tyga are you tal

Another Fallen Chief Keef affiliate Capo reportedly gunned down in Chicago. Fake Shore Drive is reporting that Glo Gang rapper Capo has been shot dead in Chicago this afternoon.  No other news sources have yet corroborated this report, but word of the 22-year old rapper's death is circulating widely on Twitter as well as a grisly video depicting him lying on a sidewalk, covered in blood and barely breathing. According to a report by the Chicago Tribune, a shooting occurred at 1:40pm this afternoon on the 7700 block of South Kingston Avenue on the city's South Side in which the unnamed victim was shot in the hip and back and taken to the Advocate Christ Medical Center in serious-to-critical condition. The suspected shooters ran over and killed a 1-year old boy sitting in a stroller 20 minutes after the shooting. The Chicago Tribune reports that the shooting victim was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center. Pour one out for Capo and the poor little ba

Tyga Gay? Not that I care about who and what Tyga does, but being that I'm a blogger I guess I have to say something about this. Last week the internet went crazy over transgender, Mia Isabella statements regarding her alleged relationship with rapper Tyga. Fans highly disappointed coming to girlfriend Kylie Jenner's rescue. Tyga's ex fiance Black Chyna had a few words regarding the incident, of course showing no symptom, but who would after their split. Here are the words from Mia Isabella: The alleged recipient of the alleged Tyga dick pics, 29-year-old transgender model Mia Isabella, released a statement this afternoon to VH1 regarding her stance in the controversy. She neither confirmed nor denied any intimate involvement with the rapper, rather speaking generally on transgender discrimination: "It’s very sad that the idea of a man loving a trans person has to be considered a scandal when all people are equal – love always wins doesn’t it? I live in a

The Modern Day Amazon Who determines beauty? I thought beauty was in the eye of the beholder, at least that's what most of us are taught while we're growing up. However the term beauty isn't considered so general in reality. Unfortunately people are equipped to matching beauty to certain characteristics that doesn't even describe over 40% of the world. I know what you're thinking, what does this have to do with Serena Williams. At age 33, Serena Williams is still the worlds best tennis player holding 67 singles titles and 22 double titles to her name. So why is she not the highest paid women tennis player?  At age 28, Maria Sharapova is rank #2 holding 35 singles titles, and 3 double titles. Maria Sharapova is the highest earned female tennis player making over 20 million in endorsements while Serena makes only 13 million in endorsements. Many argue that Serena doesn't fit the feminine "look" that sponsors are open to endorsing, media has crit

Where Should the Finger Point After months of investigating the allegations of Andre Constand, Friday Bill Cosby spoke on the allegations of drugging and raping women over decades ago. Here are some of the questions and answers during Cosby's interview with Good Morning America. "When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" Troiani asked.  "Yes," Cosby replied.  "Did you ever give any of those young women the Quaaludes without their knowledge?" Troiani asked.  Cosby's attorney objected and told him not to answer the question.  While Cosby admitted that he acquired seven prescriptions of Quaaludes with the intent to give the sedatives to young women he wanted to have sex with, he has not admitted to actually drugging any of his accusers.  Headlines have gone crazy since the interview aired, some saying Cosby made a mistake by admitting

B. Reilly Wanting to make a difference in the music industry, Canadian rapper Ben Reilly has always felt music has been the most amazing way to express oneself. Representing Edmonton, Alberta, the wordsmith has taken baby steps, yet worked hard towards his goal. Launching his career in 2012, the rapper released his first single, which was a failure, leading him to leave the label he was signed with and take a break. This time was taken off in order to get a better understanding of how to succeed in a music industry that has been booming digitally. Launching his label 82 Entertainment, his first mixtape, Maximum Pressure, is set for release in stores and for free download next year. It will sport features from Busta Rhymes, Akon, Freeway, 8Ball & MJG, among others, with production from DJ Felli Fel and Don Cannon. 82 Entertainment gains it’s name from the year 1982, when Canada gained independence from the UK, quite fitting for it’s status as an independent imprint.

Dreams worth more than money is the second studio album from rapper Meek Mill released on June 29, 2015. The album features Chris brown, Drake, the Weekend, Future, Rick Ross, Diddy, and of course girlfriend Nicki Minaj on 2 songs. Meek seems to have calmed down his usual turnt hype voice on this album oppose to his debut album "Dreams and Nightmares" maybe girlfriend Nicki Minaj have something to do with that, but his tone was definitely different. Nicki features on 2 songs "Bad for You" and the leading single "All Eyes on You" which also features Chris Brown. The three of them recently performed the single at the BET Awards show where Meek and Nicki paraded their relationship. The song describes their relationship and it's problems being a Hollywood couple. As for the album Dreams Worth More Than Money, I give it a 6 out of 10, the songs were well developed, extremely consistent, and the production is incredible, but I just didn't feel like

Well the video is pretty straight to the point, but very entertaining.

Sexy, Sexy, Sexy! is all I can say about Miguel's Wildheart. The RnB sensation shakes things up on this third album, with hot explicit sexy lyrics to match the cover art. Coffee as the lead single sets the tone of the entire album, that paints vivid pictures of passion between lovers. The instrumentals used on the album are very Miguel like, meaning you hear the strings and bass that coincides with Miguel's voice. I enjoyed Wildheart, because I can feel the passion, and I rate the album a 9 out of 10. The cover art is also immaculate! Good Job Miguel, keep the hits coming!
