Kanye Can't get over Kim's past!

While performing in Glastonbury, Kanye looked into the crowd and noticed a very explicit large banner waving in the air of Kim with Ray J from their sex tape. How EMBARRASSING!!?  Kanye is finding it harder to accept Kim's past. Like REALLY? I don't really see this marriage lasting too long... Divorce anyone? Eventually Kanye will get tired of being with her only because of her reckless past. Who knows he might put up with it just for the kids or to keep up the image.

2015 BET awards Highlights!

Though there were huge SMH moments at the BET awards this year, there were a few things I did Love/ Like.  I loved that tribute for Smokey Robinson . But the tribute for Janet Jackson took the cake! Jason Derulo, Ciara, and Tinashe all reminded us of how talented they really are when they danced to Janet's Rhythm  Nation. It was just simply amazing to see how they all came together and recreated something into magic, It was by far the best moment of the show. I know that everyone was talking about that hard fall that Diddy took!  That was Hilarious! Diddy fell and got right back up and I even noticed the audience in the front, two girls were trying to help him up. LOL He pulled a Beyonce move and got right back up and continued performing. I'm wondering how the other two rappers behind him kept it together, I can't believe they all kept a straight face.That was HONESTLY the highlight of the night for me. 
Don't just read this, please comment what your favorite moment was from the show!

2015 BET AWARDS TOP DISLIKE Moments!!

 The awards was filled with all the urban A-list celebs with a touch of ratchet as always. I have to say that the hosts Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross really did lighten the mood and the duo really seems to have natural chemistry. It seems like every year most of the top stars don't attend anymore such as Rihanna,  Jay Z, Kanye West, AND Beyonce.    SUPPORT BLACK ENTERTAINMENT! And of course when Rihanna was told that she couldn't throw money at the audience while debuting her trailor for her new music video for Bitch Betta Have My Money, she threw the money in the BET worker's face. Rihanna  got on  stage and made it known that she only attended because she wanted to just debut her video. OUCH! IN YOUR FACE BET! 
What a brat. Another moment that I disliked was when Nicki Minaj got to accept her final award of the night for her song Only, she got on stage and asked what award is she winning. That moment I realized that as many black artists become  mainstream, they forget where they came from and don't care to take the awards seriously. I thought to myself many of these artists would never dare to do or say these things at the GRAMMYs, or the Oscars, any award that has majority white people . They put away the obnoxious behavior and act humble and make it all about the music. That is why I never really favor mainstream  artists because many of them come off as full of themselves. That's why I typically focus on underground artists because they sometimes come off as humble.Though I love mainstream music, it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming with all the massive egos. K Michelle, K Michelle. All I saw was fake a**. IT WAS WAY TOO MUCH. There's no way it looks normal like seriously, tone it down. Her performance was over sexual and the moaning made me feel uncomfortable.

DJ GDWRKZ Releases GOLD!!

DJ/ Producer, an overall artist released Attic Sessions vol.1 on soundcloud earlier today. The whole piece is 28 minutes long and has this whole profound  vibe.  This  reminds me of a chill night when turning  up your good music really  loud so everyone can hear it. GDWRKZ keeps coming up with sounds to keep every kind of listener in tuned. His dynamic twist on sound is overall refreshing and reminds me why I love music. Overall he continues to produce quality sound. Attic Sessions vol 1. varies from Justin Timberlake to Lauryn Hill to Tove Lo, just to name a few and many unexpected artists. I REALLY enjoyed this piece to say the least. Do yourself a favor and check this out now!

Go check out Her DO IT AGAIN video on vevo!

Tyga Gets a SHOW!

Ughh here we go...Yet another pointless reality Tv show, with a pointless rapper. Tyga just can't get enough and on July 24th, his new show Kingin' With Tyga will air on MTV2. I honestly would like to see the show only because of his relationships with Kylie Jenner and Baby Mother to his son King, Blacc Chyna. The whole lifestyle that he wants the public to view him as seems forced as if he rented the flashy cars and clothes just for an audience, No one really cared or knew about him before his relationship with Kylie Jenner or even Blacc Chyna, so his only way to stay relevant is to make a quick show on of course MTV2. Will you be tuning in on July 24th? I'll be watching and keep you posted.

Was Troy Ave's Album a FLOP or Success you be the judge!

Rapper Troy Ave manages to only sell 5000 copies in the first week of his album release. It is understandable that he only sold this much because he is an INDEPENDENT ARTIST. Although no one is talking about this anymore, I find this interesting that he was the laughing stock of twitter two weeks ago. Everyone who did care enough to re tweet and mock the rapper, failed to realize that for an independent artist, his sales were actually  decent. This man pays for studio time, setting up concert tours, and tickets to fly himself out to these events to  promote his brand/ music.

Who Remembers Erik Hassle?!

Just Me...  
  Erik Hassle has a way of making really dark catchy pop music that you want to replay over and over. His new song No Words, is definitely on my summer playlist. Give it a chance, after the first two listens it's guaranteed to stick.  An underrated  summer  hit in my opinion of course and its sure to put you in a good mood.

Beck Releases new single DREAMS!

Was Kanye right about Beck? Though Beck has been around for a while it seems like Kanye did him a huge favor bringing in a large amount of new fans just like how he did with Taylor Swift back in 2009 at the MTV VMA's.  Let's face it, Kanye basically helped boost these two artists career by mocking them. Beck won a Grammy for best album of the year in February for his folk rock inspired  album Morning Phase which was a new twist based on what original fans say. Now flash forward to this year, Beck is back to his old style Punk, with a dash of pop. Although I was never familiar with the artist before the Grammy's, I heard of his new release, Dreams and would have to say that it is refreshing. The track opens with heavy drums, tight guitar and has this upbeat melodic feel. Its a far cry from his album last year and this just proves that Beck can be a musician for almost every music lover. The track is disappointing to some of Beck's older fans because they feel that it is soulless and has a tainted indie feel that is trying to appeal to mainstream pop. Overall this track will draw in a lot more listeners and force them to become somewhat fans.

Artist to watch: Pryde

Brampton native Pryde is the next best thing. Drake watch out because Pryde is here to stay. Young, Talented and just overall different. His song Day One sounds like a classic summer smash. I would love for this artist to get the bust that he deserves here in the states. Super catchy and clean. We get to see the artist and a couple of his friends ride through the city and just have fun. Honestly check this artist out his whole approach and music is unique
    

Diddy to the Rescue!!

Sean "Puffy" Combs Gets Arrested  after confronting UCLA coach for his son Justin. 
It seems like Quarterback  Justin was just not having the best day,and having missed a few practices, it  led him to not perform well on the field. Coach wasn't having it and went ballistic on the record producer's son, this led to Diddy actually showing up at the Coach's office and confronted him while he was on the phone. The coach put his hand up at Diddy to signal wait, and that was the wrong move for Coach. Diddy started making threats while he was in the weight room.Witnesses and Cameras caught the dramatic scene while Diddy allegedly swung a weight kettle at the coach and now Diddy is being arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and most recently added today making "terroristic"    threats. Father of the year or major embarrassment? Should Justin get kicked off the team for his full scholarship at UCLA? Justin later posted a picture of him and  his dad Diddy and showed no signs of regret or anger towards the issue.

Trigga RELOADED drops Today, will it flop?!!

Will Rapper Tyga and Chris Brown improve sales?! Its no surprise that Tyga has been  making resent headlines because of his relationship  with minor  Kylie Jenner and because of this, he now has a wider fan base. This skyrocket to fame may improve Trey's album sales and bring  in Tyga's fans because people will always want to see what he's doing next. Though Trey already has a wide fan base, he will still need an extra boost from both Chris Brown and Tyga. Chris Brown who has   been in the tabloids a lot lately because of his horrible break-up with ex- girlfriend Karrueche. Will this effect sales? we'll see.. When Trey was asked did Kylie Jenner attend his concert with Tyga, he kept his comments hush hush and just wanted to promote his album. Trey will be performing at the Essence Music Festival which will be his fifth year next week.

Banks' ALBUM Goddess raises the stakes!!

The Goddess herself, creates a sound like no other.  
            Some may say she is the female version of "The Weeknd", though she uses similar vocal skills as "The Weeknd" , Banks is highly dynamic and is what mainstream music is calling for. The artist did create major buzz in the year 2013 when the album was released music lovers truly respected the humble artist and now has a huge fan bass. Banks is influenced from past artists such as Fiona Apple so no wonder she creates such dominant, head turning, powerful sounds. The album starts with my favorite so far Alibi and This is what it feels like . Truthfully the whole album is genius and if you're unfamiliar, make it a big deal to get familiar  with her music.
