Chris Brown & 50 Cent Announce Co-Headlining “The Party Tour” [PEEP]

CB

A few days ago Chris Brown announced “The Party Tour” on his Twitter account, with a flyer that originally included 50 Cent, French Montana, Fabolous, O.T. Genasis, and Kap G as opening acts.

Today, the official announcement has been made and it has 50 Cent as a co-headliner with Chris Brown. French Montana is also no longer on the bill, most likely a result of his past with 50.

The name of the tour comes from CB’s recently released single, “Party,” which features Usher and Gucci Mane. “Party” has been climbing on the charts since its release and Chris is capitalizing on the single’s success with the tour.

“The Party Tour” is set to begin in Baltimore, MD on March 31st and culminating in Los Angeles at The Forum on May 23rd. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale beginning tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. PST through Friday at 10 p.m. Tickets will go on sale to the general public Saturday at 10 a.m.

BREEZY HIT WITH RESTRAINING ORDER

Breezy has also made headlines today as his estranged ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, has filed a restraining order on the entertainer alleging he’s tried to kill her and beat her in the past.

In a sworn statement from Tran, she said Chris “told a few people that he was going to kill” her, “take” her “out,” and “shoot” her. She says he told friends that no one could have her if they aren’t to be together.

The video below that Chris posted on his Instagram a few weeks ago will definitely NOT help his case.

G-Unit & DJ Whoo Kid – ‘The Lost Flash Drive’ Mixtape [STREAM]

g-unit-lost-flash-drive

It’s quite apparent that DJ Whoo Kid and G-Unit have found new music on ‘The Lost Flash Drive’ mixtape.

The tape is a nice surprise for fans of the unit, with 12 unreleased tracks showcasing the verbal skills these guys have and reminding the industry, they’re still a force to be reckoned with.

Banks, Buck, Yayo, Kidd Kidd appear on multiple tracks, while 50 only appears on the bonus track “Wait A Minute (Remix).”

Phresher’s “Wait A Minute (Remix)” was released yesterday and teased on 50’s Instagram account.

Whoo Kid explained in an interview how the mixtape came to be.

“Me and Tony Yayo stumbled across a hard drive at the G-Unit offices recently that contained lost music and lost footage from the G-Unit Radio Series,” Whoo told XXL magazine.

It is to be scene if the lost footage will also be released. In the meantime enjoy the mixtape by pressing play below.

R.I.P. PHIFE DAWG

Hip-hop lost a true pioneer this week with the death of Phife Dawg, who passed away at the age of 45 after a long battle with diabetes.

His family released a statement which you can read below:

“We regret to share the news that on Tuesday March 22nd, 2016, Malik has passed away due to complications resulting from diabetes,” the statement reads. “Malik was our loving husband, father, brother and friend. We love him dearly. How he impacted all our lives will never be forgotten. His love for music and sports was only surpassed by his love of God and family.”

He impacted many lives since the inception of supergroup, A Tribe Called Quest. The funky lyrics he spit to those classic instrumentals will forever live in my head.

The 5-foot Assassin released five albums as part of A Tribe Called Quest and one solo album in 2000. He was a true poet, lyricist and musician.

I hope you all will Find A Way to the Award Tour as you link up with miss Bonita Applebum to have Hot Sex On A Platter as you embark on the Scenario.

My favorite Phife Diggy line was the one below:

Feel free to share your favorite Phife Dawg line in the comments section.

REST IN POWER, Phife.

50 CENT AND THE GAME PARTY AT THE SAME CLUB

One of the longest standing beefs in hip-hop is probably 50 Cent’s and The Game’s, dating back to 2005. Since then there’s been a number of diss tracks and even a couple of unfortunate violent situations between both entourages.

This past week it appeared as if things were a bit more peaceful with both rappers making appearances at the same club in Hollywood.

Although the two did not share a handshake or even a stage it was huge for both rappers to be in the same building after the negativity that has existed between them.

Game seemed to be playing peacemaker as he ordered more than a few bottles of 50’s Effen Vodka and followed by praising the taste of the vodka on his Instagram. In addition he mentioned the two “used to be as tight as @Kehlani pussy.” The post has since been deleted.

Nice to see the two can actually be in the same place enjoying themselves without any drama. Hopefully they can put their differences in the past and go back to making the fire music they once made together.

KANYE MAKES A QUICK MIL

Kanye West tweeted a couple weeks ago that he was over $50-million in debt. The situation appeared to be so dire he tweeted millionaires and billionaires to invest in ‘Ye.

Well, according to Mr. West he made $1-million in two days from “The Life Of Pablo”-inspired pop-up shop in New York. We’ve all seen the price tags on Kanye’s jackets, hoodies, t-shirts and other clothing so it’s very possible.

“The Pablo pop up was almost a pop up of influence,” he tweeted. ““but there is no other brand that could sell 1 million dollars of clothing in 2 days from 1 location!!!”

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/712424774891409410

Well, if things continue to go as they are he just needs another 52 pop-up shops to be debt-free! Yay! Or should I say ‘YE!

JAY ELECTRONICA EMBARKING ON A TOUR

The tour is scheduled to be kicked off next week in San Francisco, CA. and most shows will be on the West coast, atleast for this run.

During his April 2nd show he’ll perform a J. Dilla tribute along with Slum Village, Black Milk, Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, Blaqroyalt.

Here’s all the tour stops and venues:

Listen to his newest song below:

Still no word on the album but don’t hold your breath. I’m sure if it ever drops it will include a Frank Ocean feature and may even drop the same day Detox drops. Jokes.

SXSW RECAP

The biggest independent music festival capped off this week and there was way too much to talk about, so let’s highlight the main happenings.

Drake closed out the final night of the Fader Fort as he surprised guests after Yo Gotti got off the stage.

Drizzy performed some of his newer hits like, “Jumpman,” “Energy,” “Know Yourself” to name a few.

In his final year of presidency, Barack Obama became the first president ever to take part in any festivities at SXSW.

Barack hit up the SXSW Interactive Keynote Conversation where he showed major support and appreciation to “influencers.”

During the keynote, the First Lady released a song to support her #62MillionGirls global education initiative which she discussed at the event.

Listen to a snippet of the song, “This Is For My Girls,” written by Diane Warren and features Missy Elliott, Janelle Monaé, Kelly Rowland, Kelly Clarkson, Lea Michele, Zendaya and others.

Althought there were countless David Bowie tributes at this year’s festival none was bigger than Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals.

The combination of both genres made for one of the best Bowie tributes I’ve ever seen.

Paak is already a blend of genres in himself with the way he meshes hip-hop, R&B and even a little bit of dance. There was an abundance of energy and the band was simply graceful.

19TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY FOR THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

It’s been 19-years since we lost hip-hop legend, Notorious B.I.G. to a tragic drive-by shooting.

Nearly two decades later and his killer is still at large with no signs of solving the case any time soon.

Biggie Smalls continues to inspire aspiring rappers coast-to-coast, whether it’s somebody using one of his lines or sampling one of his beats. His presence is strong in hip-hop and it is quite apparent that legends never die.

Diddy shared some unreleased footage of the late rapper on his Instagram.

https://twitter.com/HipHopDX/status/708786404944322561

Many rappers also paid their respect on Twitter:

Rest In Peace, Big Poppa!

2-PAC’S NOTEBOOKS TO BE AUCTIONED

A seller on Craigslist claims he has three notebooks which belonged to 2-Pac which he has put up for auction.

The notebooks allegedly contain handwritten lyrics, poetry, music video ideas and other notes. Along with the notebooks will be included compact discs with unreleased music.

Moments In Time, a memorabilia seller that was tasked with auctioning off Pac’s five-page letter from prison, that sold for $225-thousand will handle the auction.

Handwritten lyrics to “Keep Ya Head Up,” “Street Fame,” “Who Do You Love,” “Thugs Get Lonely Too” and others are alleged included in the notebook.

The seller claims that his father worked for Pac and that’s how he ended up with the treasures.

I hope that unreleased music eventually gets released.

50 CENT IN TROUBLE WITH BANKRUPTCY COURT

It’s a proven fact that 50 loves to stunt, he even made a song about it. However, his stunting has got him in trouble with the bankruptcy court.

A few weeks ago the Queens rapper filed for bankruptcy claiming he was “broke.” He then proceeded to post numerous pictures on his Instagram account with large amounts of cash.

The courts got wind of the pictures and demanded 50 go back to court. He claims the money in the pictures was all fake and also said his African mansion was a lie he made up.

This week he made a number of Instagram posts expressing his anger towards the courts and the system. In the process he also announced that he will no longer be running his Instagram account.

Check out his posts:

KIM K GIVES THE INTERNET…ANOTHER ONE

Kim Kardashian-West is no stranger to being naked on the Internet. In the past she’s posted half-naked photos and of course how can we forget her infamous video with Ray J.

This week she blessed the Internet with a photo baring it all in which she censored her private parts on.

In typical fashion, Kim faced scrutiny from many celebrities. Here are a couple of responses Kim got, along with her clap back:
