Although N*E*R*D’s recent ‘No_One Ever Really Dies’ album failed to impress as many expected it to, their Rihanna-assisted “Lemon” single has been a bright spot, continuing to climb on the charts. The trio of Pharrell, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley took over “The Ellen Show” to perform it.
Even without Rihanna, the group impressed with their energetic performance, which included a variety of dancers and ensemble. Every dancer on stage displayed their different talents, making for an interesting performance. A violinist also joined N*E*R*D and added a different element to the song.
On Friday Macklemore dropped his solo album ‘Gemini’ and today he took over “The Ellen Show” to perform “Good Old Days” along with Kesha. After being introduced by Ellen, as one of her “all-time favorite rappers,” Mack and Kesha ran through the coming-to-life ballad.
Making his daytime television debut, Texas vocalist, Khalid performed his highly-acclaimed “Location” single on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”.
Backed by a band and glimmering blue lights, the R&B sensation serenaded Ellen and the audience with continuous vocals. During the performance, Khalid also gave the audience a preview of his dance moves that correlate with the band.
The 19-year-old Khalid has been climbing. “Location” has been sitting steadily on the Billboard Hot 100 and recent remix featuring Lil Wayne and Kehlani surfaced. The singer also shared that he dropped some vocals on Kendrick Lamar’s recent “The Heart Part 4” single.
“Location” is a single off Khalid’s debut album ‘American Teen’. Watch the performance below.
With red laser beams flashing all around him, The Weeknd went on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to perform his hit-single “Starboy,” for the first time ever on daytime television.
While introducing The Weeknd, Ellen welcomed the R&B singer and praised him saying, “he’s been compared to everyone from Michael Jackson to Prince.”
“Starboy” is off The Weeknd’s third album ‘Starboy’, which is projected to top Billboard charts by selling approximately 350k-400k units in its first week.
John Legend went on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ and showed his support for Democratic presidential candidate, Hilary Clinton. He also talked about the love he has for his 6-month daughter, Luna and wife Chrissy Teigen, before performing his new single “Love Me Now.”
Legend was joined on the stage by his band and backup vocalists, as he sang his heart out during the performance which lasted just under 4-minutes.
“Love Me Now” will be on Legend’s fifth studio album ‘Darkness and Light’, dropping later this year with appearances from Chance the Rapper, Miguel, and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes.
Anderson .Paak took over “The Ellen Show” along with the Free Nationals to perform “Come Down.” The Oxnard native showed his different skills by rocking the mic with his vocals, while hitting the drums with his drumstick in rockstar fashion.
“Come Down” is off Anderson’s ‘Malibu’ albumthat dropped in January.
Lil Chano along with Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz went on “Ellen” to perform “No Problem” and trashed a record label in the process. Wayne took the trashing of the record label a little further, by going in on his former label, Cash Money.
Weezy tweaked the lyrics in his verse by rapping, “If Cash Money tries to stop me / I’ma let ’em rob me / Yeah, right! Like Ryan Lochte.”
Safe to say the Weezy, Cash Money beef isn’t going to be over any time soon.
DESIIGNER RISES OVER FUTURE
Freshman rapper Desiigner’s price has really gone up in the past couple weeks. From signing onto Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music to being featured on Ye’s TLOP.
This week his hit single “Panda” peaked at number 14 on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts, topping any Future song. The highest Future has placed on the charts is 28th.
That’s a slap in the face for Future being that Desiigner is compared to him and is often confused for being him—something Future doesn’t like.
To add insult to injury the song “Panda” has been getting major looks not only in the clubs but also on the national stage. Watch Shaq come out to the song at WWE’s Wrestlemania 32:
Let’s see what else Desiigner has to come with the announcement of a mixtape dropping soon.
Hopefully he doesn’t turn out to be a Milli Vanilli a.k.a. one-hit wonder.
T. SWIFT GIVES ‘JUMPMAN’ A JUMP
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor just boosted “Jumpman!” It’s crazy how much impact and reach one Taylor Swift can have on something.
She does boast a crazy fanbase that is international, but to think a commercial of her listening to Drake and Future’s “Jumpman” while she works out boosting the single’s sale by a staggering 431 percent is insane!
Many reports have came out stating that globally the highly popular commercial of Taylor on the treadmill has had that kind of impact.
Aside from Drake and Future benefitting from the commercial, Apple of course had major rises with their #GymFlow playlist climbing to No. 5 playlist of the week, a 325 percent rise.
If you’ve been living under a rock watch the commercial below:
DRAKE AND MEEK MILL PUT OUT NEW MUSIC
It’s no secret Drake will be releasing his highly anticipated album ‘Views From The 6’ this month.
He added a little hype this week with the release of two songs, one which feature Kanye West and Jay-Z, also known as The Throne.
Champagne Papi’s nemesis, Meek Mill also dropped two songs of his own to add to the beef in which he took some shots at Drizzy. This is becoming a trend for Meek who also did the same thing when Drake dropped “Summer Sixteen.”
Don’t be surprised if Meek Milly releases a surprise album or mixtape whenever Drake decides to release VIEWS.
NICKI ON ELLEN
Nicki Minaj went on The Ellen Show and talked about “a boy that likes her” referring to her bae, Meek Mill. She also said, “she doesn’t want to say she’s in a relationship anymore.”
While the Internet went in on the comments and misconstrued them, if you watch the video you will see she didn’t actually mean her and Meek are no longer together.
The next day she went on her IG to profess her love for the “boy” that likes her, Meek. Let’s see how long these two will last.
“I don’t wanna hear about this ever again, not even when she tell ’em that they better as friends.”
CHRIS BROWN VS. TINASHE
Chris Brown is no stranger to throwing shade on social media and he is quick to spill out his feelings about anything he doesn’t agree with.
Breezy went in on the whole Kehlani situation by slamming the bay area R&B singer for her “attempted suicide” and told her to “stop flexing for the gram,” while showing support for Kyrie Irving.
Girls be mad at a nigga for fucking around wit bitches but her DMs got more names then the Declaration of Independence. #YEAHIMTHROWINGSHADE
He then commented on a Baller Alert picture and went all the way in on Tinashe or as he calls her “WHOISHAE.”
“I hope she talked about ‘HER’ career for most of this interview ‘WHOISHAE’ TINASHAE,” he wrote. “I hope they rehearsing for those performance (power 106 charity basketball game halftime show) give her credit though, 30 16 year old hobbit face ass. WE WANT MUSIC, WE WANT MUSIC, WE WANT MUSIC!! TEACH ME HOW TO JERK FACE ASS.”
It’s clear Chris has no chill and no filter. He’s a real standup guy.
L.A. CHASE LIKE NO OTHER
L.A. is notorious for crazy police chases. This week we got a show when two suspects cruised the streets of L.A. weaving thru traffic and even doing donuts in the middle of Sunset Boulevard.
Watch it below:
Here are a couple other crazy chases:
Throwing money out the window:
OJ the juice on the loose:
The Lexus that never made it to Texas:
Let me know the craziest one in the comments below.
