Beyoncè & Kendrick Lamar Rumored To Be Performing At Coachella 2017 [PEEP]

With Donald Trump getting ready to take office on January 20th of next year, many people are in no rush to get the new year started. However, there is a report floating around that Beyoncè and Kendrick Lamar are rumored to be headlining Coachella 2017. (Now that’s something to be excited for.)

HITS Daily Double is reporting that both artists are set to headline the festival, along with another rumored performer, Radiohead. As of now nothing is imminent, but the rumor should create extra hype for festival. Both Yoncè and Lamar have made appearances at the festival before, but never as headliners.

K. Dot performed at the festival in 2012 and appeared as a special guest for both Ice Cube’s set and Anderson .Paak’s last year. Kendrick’s catalalog during Coachella 2012 was nowhere near what it is now, as he was just a mere supporting act with his name on the final row of the lineup list in a tiny letters. See if you could find it below.

Beyoncè has popped up at a couple festivals in the desert before, most recently during her sister Solange’s set in 2014. The Diva also joined her hubby, Jay-Z onstage in 2010.

The official lineup for Coachella 2017 will be released in early January of next year. The event will be at its usual location in Indio, CA. from April 14th-16th and the second weekend April 21st-23rd.

DJ Khaled has already hinted that he will be taking his special cloth talk to the festival. Stay tuned.

Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Albums of 2016 Includes Béyonce, Kanye West, Drake, Chance The Rapper & More [PEEP]

Béyonce, Kanye West, Chance The Rapper, Frank Ocean, and Young Thug all finished in the top 10 of Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Albums of 2016.

Queen Béy lead the way with her highly-acclaimed ‘LEMONADE’ topping the list. The platinum-selling album’s placement came to no surprise to some, after its worldwide popularity and countless awards and accolades.

“Beyoncé shut everyone else down this year with a soul-on-fire masterpiece, testifying about love, rage and betrayal that felt all too true in the America of 2016,” wrote the magazine. “The queen not only made the album of the year (and make no mistake, David Bowie would have been the first to say so), she delivered a confessional, genre-devouring suite that feels larger than life yet still heartbreakingly intimate, because it doubles as her portrait of a nation in flames.”

Chance The Rapper, Frank Ocean, and Young Thug all followed Béyonce in the top 10 for their albums ‘Coloring Book’, ‘Blonde’, and ‘Jefferey’, respectively. Both Chance and Franky Ocean have received high praise for the continuous success of their projects while being indepedent.

Drake’s ‘Views’ finished 42nd after ‘If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late’ placed third last year, behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ and Adele’s ’25’.

Other hip-hop notables include: Danny Brown’s ‘Atrocity Exhibition’ (19th), Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’ (25th), A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘We Got it From Here…Thank You 4 Your Service’ (30th), Alicia Keys’ ‘HERE’ (32nd), Maxwell’s ‘blackSUMMERS’night’ (40th), and Future’s ‘Evol’ (43rd).

Kanye West To Remain In The Hospital [PEEP]

Last week it was reported that Kanye West was taken to the UCLA Medical Center after suffering from “sleep deprivation” and “dehydration.” Since then Ye has been in the hospital and it looks like he will remain there until further notice.

According to TMZ, West was supposed to be released from the UCLA Medical Center today and go home to be under the care of his personal physician. The circumstances have changed and he will remain at the center to continue his treatment for “depression” and “paranoia.”

Kim Kardashian remains by the rapper’s side as he deals with the issues that allegedly stem from Kardashian’s armed robbery in Paris. Ye has been very vocal about the incident and even called out his Watch The Throne partner, Jay-Z, for not reaching out to him in his time of need.

“He’s been shaken up ever since the robbery in Paris. It did a number on him as much as Kim,” an insider told TMZ. “The mere thought that anything could happen to her sent him in a tailspin. He wasn’t sleeping and he was having nightmares about it.”

Prayers up for Kanye. We’re all wishing him a speedy recovery.

I don’t have a release date, but I have a whole bunch of good news coming soon.
