BET Hip-Hop Awards 2016 [Recap]

Drake led in nominations with 14 while his touring partner Future followed with a close 10.

An unknown user hacked J. Cole’s Twitter account and posted a tweet saying Kim K’s incident in Paris was pulling a publicity stunt and faked the robbery. The hacker tweeted out more nasty tweets which made it obvious that it wasn’t the real J. Cole.

The rapper was hacked earlier this year as well.  Is J. Cole just bad at picking passwords or what? Hint: Try not to use your birthday.

By midnight, Cole’s Twitter had gone back to normal.

Chance the Rapper Gets a Feature in New Kit Kat Jingle

MANCHESTER, TN - JUNE 13: Chance the Rapper performs on the

Kit Kat picked up Chance the Rapper to be featured in their new upcoming jingle.

The infamous Kit Kat song is expected to incorporate the newly blown up artist as an addition to the classic melody. In the picture posted by Kit Kat on their twitter, it features Chance in a bear suit representing his signature “3” hat holding a Kit Kat bar with the pun “Chance the Wrapper” and a picture of his face.

The picture also suggests there will be a Halloween commercial featuring Lil Chano. The new jingle is said to be “dropping soon.”

Kid Cudi – “Can’t Look In My Eyes” (Unreleased) Feat. Kanye West [AUDIO]

kid-cudi-kanye-west-yeezy-s3

Kid Cudi and Kanye West may not be on speaking terms, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have an unreleased new collaboration.

The leaked single “Can’t Look In My Eyes” seems to be an earlier version of Cudi’s “Too Bad I Have to Destroy You Now.”

Kanye doesn’t appear to be on Cudder’s forthcoming album ‘Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, so naturally you can come to the conclusion this song may be a couple years old.

Last month Cudi called out Ye and Drake on Twitter for marginalizing him and claiming they don’t “give a fuck about me.”

Hopefully the two can patch things up and give us some new music soon. In the meantime listen to “Can’t Look In My Eyes” below.
