Kanye West – Yeezus (Album Artwork)
UPDATE: Forget everything I said. Yeezus has no artwork. Or booklet. Just a piece of red tape and the music. Very demo-ish. Kanye West’s sixth studio album hits stores June 18th.
UPDATE 2: It’s official. Head on over to his site for a 10-second snippet of a new track.
OFFICIAL COVER @ KANYEWEST.COM

Kanye West pretty much took over the weekend. After debuting “New Slaves” on 66 different buildings around the globe and performing for SNL’s season finale, it seems that the artwork for Kanye’s new album, Yeezus, is making headlines.
Usually, we’d wait on a confirmation tweet from the man himself before we post but his manager Don C. posted an instagram with the caption, “#yeezy2seasonhasreturned #yeezus.”
Yeezus finally drops June 18th.

Bodega Bamz – MTV RapFix Live Freestyle (Video)
This is a MTV RapFix first. Bodega Bamz sat on the red couch with Sway. Not the red couch next to Sway’s couch but on the same couch! After you get over that shock, you’ll come to back in time to hear the 2013 Rock The Bells performer spit a live freestyle for MTV.

Diplo Wanted To Get A Nicki Minaj Verse For “Bubble Butt” (Video)
In an interview with Krystal Bee from Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Diplo shared that he originally wanted to snatch a verse from Nicki Minaj for his booty shaking single, “Bubble Butt.” Not insinuating anything but that would have a fitting feature.
When asked if he would try to place her on another song and which one would it be, he replied, “I can make booty songs all day long.” I’d be down to hear Nicki on a Major Lazer track. Make it happen, Diplo!

Summer night approved.
Still USC (Yup, It’s a “Still D.R.E.” Parody) (Video)
There are many ways to pay tribute to someone who’s donated $70 million (well, 35 milli since it was split in half) to your school and making a parody of their classic track is one of them. As you may have heard, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine are building a Music-based undergraduate program at the University of Southern California (USC). Well to pay homage to the gawd Dre and to show their strong school spirit, two alums got together to rap over “Still D.R.E.” and titled it “Still USC.”
They look pretty comfortable rapping in front of the camera. Which makes me wonder, was spitting fiyah a requirement to become student body president? 70 mill, baby. Check out the parody above and fight on, playas.
