Kanye West Labeled “5150” After Trying To Assault Gym Staff [PEEP]

france_cannes_lions_cong

Details continue to unfold about Kanye West’s recent hospitalization. Yesterday the Chicago rapper was taken to UCLA Medical Center after suffering from sleep deprivation and dehydration.

TMZ reported today that Ye’s personal physician, Dr. Michael Farzam contacted authorities after Kanye’s extreme erratic behavior. The report goes on to say that Dr. Farzam told police that West was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold after attempting to assault a gym employee.

The 5150 hold is usually placed “when a person, as a result of a mental health disorder, is a danger to others, or to himself or herself, or gravely disabled.”

Kanye was taken away handcuffed to a stretcher by an ambulance by EMTs and accompanied by law enforcement officers.

A police report says that the call was for a man with a mental illness and a description that read, “Jim Jones, 39 years old, 5’8″, 175 lbs … suffers from temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation and dehydration.”

The hospitalization follows a rough week for Kanye, where he’s been under great scruntiny for his verbal support of President-Elect, Donald Trump, cancelling shows, cutting shows short, and going on a 20-minute rant about Beyonce, Jay-Z, Drake, radio, and more.

Let’s hope this doesn’t escalade and Kanye can get back to the music soon. Prayers up for Ye.

Ray J responded to Kanye West’s diss on “Famous” with his own song “Famous” featuring Chris Brown. On the song, Ray J vividly disses both Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West with very harsh lyrics and reminds everyone of his sextape with Kim in the process.

“She fucked me for fame, look in her eyes,” he sings on the Drumma Boy-produced “Famous.” “She was the first one to sign on the line/She was the real one to plan it all out/Look at the family, they walk around proud/All because she had my dick in her mouth.”

The timing of the song’s release couldn’t be worse with Kanye’s recent hospitalization and scrutiny for recent comments in support of Trump and shots at Beyonce, Jay-Z, Drake, and Q-Tip.

The pettiness of Ray towards his ex, Kim continues even after his “I Hit It First” song and video and sending Kim four months profit of their sextape as a wedding gift.

Ray J’s “Famous” is expected to be on his forthcoming album ‘Raydemption’,

Drake Responds To Kanye Jab [WATCH]

During one of his notorious rants at the “Saint Pablo Tour,” Kanye West took a shot a Drake by saying, “Khaled and Drake and radio and Doc [Wynter] and [Real] 92.3 and everybody. Is it just me or did you hear that song so many times ‘you say you wanna play for free.’ Aye, aye. You know what it is, though? Because aye, I love Drake. I love Khaled. But they set that song up, bro.”

Drizzy responded to the comments during his acceptance speech at the American Music Awards for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Artist.

A few weeks ago a rumor was confirmed that Drake and Kanye West were working on a joint mixtape. That mixtape seems to be on hold for now with Kanye’s ongoing issues and recent rant, which Drizzy took some offense to.

eminem-bud-throwback-500x333

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Eminem’s debut album, ‘Infinite’. To celebrate the album,  a “Partners In Rhyme: The True Story of Infinite” documentary was released with archival footage and interviews of the process of the creation.

Detroit production duo, the Bass Brothers aka F.B.T., also released a remixed, remastered version of the LP. Instead of using samples to recreate some of the instrumentals, the Bass Brothers substituted with live instruments in studio.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mark Bass talked about discovering Eminem saying, “It’s like any artist just starting out. If you ever listen to Michael Jackson before he was Michael Jackson or Prince, they were younger-sounding, but you can tell there’s something there. Obviously, the fans who will purchase this particular project will get it. They’ll understand why. When I hear Eminem from 20 years ago, I can hear Eminem today. I can hear the nuances in his tone, and his rhythm was insane, and this is him starting out as a kid. We recognized that there was something there that was special. Obviously the world ended up agreeing with what we were feeling.”

The remixed version of ‘Infinite’ wil be available digitally for the first time soon. In the meantime watch the documentary and listen to the remixed version of “Infinite.”
