DRAKE ON ELLEN

Fresh off SNL, Drake continues to make his television rounds when he visited ‘The Ellen Show’ earlier in the week.

The “Hotline Bling” rapper discussed his SNL appearance, his relationship with Rihanna and had the shit scared out of him by a man ironically wearing Drizzy’s infamous “Hotline Bling” outfit.

In the video below Drake plays a friendly game of “Never Have I Ever” with Jared Leto and Ellen. Watch below to find out what the 6 God has never done.


KANYE ON ELLEN

Kanye made a rare television appearance earlier this week paying Ellen a visit to discuss several interesting topics and even played a funny 5-second rule game.

Ye started by talking about his kids (Saint and North) before he went on a stream of consciousness rant focusing on wanting to improve mankind. He notably shouted out Rakim and Phife Dawg. (R.I.P)

Watch the rant and the hilarious games.

LAKERS GET 2ND PICK IN LOTTERY

As Laker fans we are well aware that we need more talent to put the team back at the top where we belong. This week’s NBA Draft Lottery brought us the 2nd overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft.

Kobe’s retirement opens up a spot in the starting lineup and also leaves us without a face of the franchise.

It will be interesting to see who the Lakers end up getting. Let’s hope it’s a future superstar.

TBT – #ThrowBackTune Of The Week – “All Falls Down”

Chance The Rapper declared Kanye West “the greatest artist of this generation” in a recent interview with Complex.

In honor this week’s #ThrowBackTune is “All Falls Down” off of Kanye’s freshman album, ‘College Dropout.’

This song has a very powerful message and highlights Kanye’s ability to transcend meaningful messages in his songs. Something he did a lot in the early stages of his career.

Also seen in the video is a young Stacey Dash, before she turned on the culture. LOL.

Yeezy definitely has tremendous influence on the culture from being able to sell a plain white t-shirt for $500 to selling out arenas. However, I don’t know if I agree with Chance. What do you think?
