JAY-Z and Cam’Ron made history when they decided to put to bed their longstanding beef. They presented this reconciliation at Hov’s B-Sides 2 Show at Webster Hall earlier this year. During his conversation with the Rap Radar podcast, Killa explained how the olive branch was extended.  “It wasn’t really big conversations,” Cam said when asked […]

On Sunday afternoon, 50 Cent made Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts his latest target, calling him a “motherfucker” (among other things) on Instagram. This is probably not very familiar territory for an Ivy Leaguer to be in, and so it remains unlikely that Roberts will respond in kind. Fofty’s post, which is embedded below, came after reports that Comcast […]

Following the release of Kanye West’s gospel-oriented album Jesus Is King, it was revealed that he’ll be on tour imminently. Despite the release of his divisive eighth studio album Ye last year, Kanye hasn’t hit the road in support of a record in three years. Now a source close to Yeezy and Kim Kardashian tells People magazine he’s already working on a tour schedule. “Kanye […]

Kanye West and Jerry Falwell Jr.—one of Donald Trump’s most notable evangelical supporters—have reportedly become friends. Falwell recently told Slate that Kanye called him “out of the blue” in September to ask if he could host a big church service at Liberty University, where Falwell is the president. Located in Lynchburg, Virginia, Liberty is a […]

Reality shows are often light on reality. The manufactured drama of so much reality television seems at odds with hip-hop, an artform that prizes authenticity. This might be one reason why it took so long for a rap competition show to become a breakout hit. Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow isn’t just a hit, it is […]

Chance the Rapper returned to Saturday Night Live this week to fulfill one of his childhood dreams, as both the host and musical guest. The Chicago rapper spoke about his double-duty experience during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “It’s crazy. It’s a lot of moving around. It’s a lot of duties and […]

Shaquille O’Neal says there is no bad blood between him and Damian Lillard. Over the last several weeks, the two have exchanged multiple diss tracks in an attempt to prove themselves as the best rapper within the NBA world.
