L.A. Leakers Weekly Rewind Jan 23 – Jan 29th (News)

LEAKERS_REWIND
As the first month of the year is coming to a close, it is shaping up to be a good year in Hip-Hop. The culture is alive and well, although not all positive.

This week Kanye made a big announcement regarding his upcoming album. He announced the title and even posted a track-list to go with it.

Kanye being Kanye had a change of heart and switched the title from ‘SWISH’ to ‘WAVES’. This led to a reaction from Wiz Khalifa, who happens to be a major supporter of incarcerated Harlem rapper, Max B., the originator of the “wave”.

Wiz responded by tweeting, “Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him.” That resulted in Mr. West going on a full Twitter spiel taking shots at Wiz.

Check out some of the Tweets:

I know you didn’t think Amber was going to stay quiet:

#GotEem

Amber’s BFF, Blac Chyna also made headlines this week.

Chyna is rumored to be dating the only male Kardashian, Rob. Tyga is dating Rob’s sister, Kylie, who is feuding with Chyna, Tyga’s baby’s mom. The whole thing is just a big paradox.

This image should help give you a better understanding of the whole situation:

I know, I know. It’s confusing.

Now back to the music.

#RihannaNavy rejoice!

Rihanna wasn’t the only one to drop this week, as fellow Roc Nation label-mate, J. Cole released the ‘Forrest Hills Drive Live’ album on his 31st birthday.

The album includes live versions of the entire Grammy-nominated ‘2014 Forrest Hills Drive,’ along with classics; “Lights Please,” “In The Morning,” and “Nobody’s Perfect.”

Cole being the warm-hearted person that he is, selected for fans to hand-deliver the album to before it being released.

Gotta love Cole.

If you’re a Lakers fan you have to love Shaq, a.k.a., Superman, a.k.a., The Diesel a.k.a., The Big Aristotle, a.k.a., The Big Sidekick, okay you get it.

In all seriousness, Shaq was one of the greatest Lakers to ever set foot on any hardwood court in Los Angeles.

The Lakers are finally paying him homage, as it was announced they’re honoring the big guy with a statue outside the STAPLES Center, where he celebrated three NBA Championships with the team.

“We look forward to having Shaq join the other legends who have been honored with statues at STAPLES Center,” said Jeanie Buss, Lakers president and co-owner, in a statement to ESPN.

Shaq was surprised when he learned about it on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and mentioned that if it does happen he would go into the NBA Hall of Fame as a Laker.

Here’s the video:

Much love,
Shaq

Twitter was on fire this week, not only with Kanye, Wiz, and Amber drama, but B.o.B also set it off by going on a rant about how he thinks the world is flat.

L.A. Leakers ft. Future, Wiz Khalifa & Kid Ink – Ball Like This (Audio)

Attachment-1

Where do we begin? This is a record that’s been in the making for quite some time. We sat in countless studio sessions with Future, Wiz, Ink, Salva, Mike N Keys, DJ Khalil, Jaycen Joshua, etc. and worked on this record until we feel we had it where we wanted it to be. “Ball Like This” celebrates the aspirations of the kid growing up in South Central to the kid creating that new tech start up. We all make sacrifices to get where we want to be. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BALL LIKE THIS! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the making of this. Your time and talents are very much appreciated! So without further ado, “Ball Like This”.
