NYC’s iconic Webster Hall will reopen later this month. After much renovation, Webster Hall will host Jay Z as it’s first performer since the reopening on April 26th. Jay Z’s show is called “B-Sides 2” and will feature a setlist full of rarities. His first time playing “B-Sides 2” was an exclusive event at Terminal 5 for his Tidal subscribers.
American Express card members will have access to limited tickets on Thursday April 18th and general admission starting at Friday April 19th.
Concerning the renovation, Jay Marciano, CEO of AEG, said that the goal was to maintain the integrity of Webster Hall while at the same time modernizing it to provide the best experience possible for concert goers.
Many have performed at the historic venue before including Patti Smith, The Broken Social Scene, and one of my favorite bands, Built to Spill. When asked about the decision to have Jay Z as the first performer, CEO of BSE Global Brett Yormak said “When we were thinking about who would be the right choice to open this legendary venue, we knew it had to be a world-famous New York City icon. No one fits that description better than JAY-Z, who will join an unparalleled list of celebrated performers who have played Webster Hall.”
Former president Barack Obama wrote a letter for the late Nipsey Hussle that was read aloud at Hussle’s memorial service on Thursday. Obama asked hip hop journalist Karen Civil to do the honor of reading the letter at the service that took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Out of respect and mourning, Civil stepped up to the stage in an all white dressed and a prominent blue hankerchief in her pocket. The reading of the letter was a surprise and after Civil announced who was the writer of the letter she was about to read, the crowd erupted in applause.
Obama praised Nipsey for seeing the potential to make a positive impact in his neighborhood. An excerpt includes: “While most folks look at the Crensh neighborhood where he grew up and see only gangs, bullets and despair, Nipsey saw potential. He saw hope. He saw a community that, even though its flaws, taught him to always keep going. His voice to invest in that community rather than ignore it — to build a skills-training center and a co-working space in Crenshaw; to lift up the Eritrean-American community; to set an example for young people to follow — is a legacy worthy of celebration. I hope his memory inspires more work in Crenshaw and communities like it. Michelle and I send our sympathies to Lauren, Emani, Kross and the entire Asghedom family and to all those who loved Nipsey.”
Karen Civil posted a full copy of the letter on her Twitter which you can see below:
Wiz Khalifa dropped the trailer for a new five-part documentary, Wiz Khalifa: Behind The Cam, that will show fans the backstory behind his rise to fame. The short trailer shows a few interviews with Wiz’s friends and family who will provide insight behind his background and rise to fame. The five episodes will be available in full on April 17th.
The title, “Behind the cam”, is a reference to Khalifa’s birth name, Cameron Thomaz. Undoubtedly, that won’t be the only information that is provided behind Wiz Khalifa’s background. When talking about his inspiration for the coming docuseries, Wiz said, “Taylor Gang has been with me since the start, so I wanted to make something to show just how far we’ve come.” For those that are not aware, Taylor Gang is the record company founded by Wiz Khalifa.

Staples Center is packed for the memorial service for deceased rapper Nipsey Hussle. After the two hour long memorial, a procession is taking place that will pass through Inglewood, Watts, and South Angeles. It will also stop at the Marathon Clothing store, a store owned by Hussle and where he was fatally murdered last night.
According to the New York Times, as the first performer, Stevie Wonder took the opportunity to make a call for stronger gun control regulations. He closed his performance by singing ‘Tears in Heaven’.
Snoop Dogg also paid tribute to Hussle and called him a “visionary”. He commented on how Hussle’s music was a source of unification for a part of the city that is rampant with gang violence. Snoop said: “We’re going to respect another man from another neighborhood when he comes from where we come from. You are a peace advocate, Nip. That’s what you are.”
Nipsey Hussle’s mom, Angelique Smith, spoke at length about her religious beliefs and hoped that Hussle’s ancestor would “lead him on this journey”.
Boosie Badazz was released from jail on $3,500 bond after being arrested for a drug, firearm arrest. Yesterday in Newman, Georgia, Boosie was pulled over by police officers after they noticed his car driving dangerously, veering in and out of different lanes. Interestingly enough, a man named Antonio Brown was in the passenger seat, but not stud wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to policeman Jeff Bugg, who pulled the car over, he smelled marijuana coming from the car, which gave him “probable cause” to search the car for drugs. Bugg reported that he found a THC vape pen, 11 grams of marijuana, a bag with $20,000 in it, and a loaded handgun. Both men were charged with marijuana possession and possession of a firearm at a crime scene.
After being booked at Coweta Magistrate Court, Boosie was released today on a $3,500 bond. Sheriff Wood said his actions were not serious and the clerk at the court wrote that the arrest was just a “misunderstanding”.
