In the music industry today basically everyone wants to work with Nicki Minaj. May it be because of the eye candy she brings to music videos, her raw talent or the notoriety one receives after working with her, she is one of the top rappers in the game. Tory Lanez wanted to get a bit of the action, but he says that he fell short- all due to his own negligence.
If you don’t recognize his name, you are sure to recognize this song:
On his album, there are notable features from Future and Wiz Khalifa, but he claims that he was about to work with Nicki on it too before he sent a poorly worded text message.
Tory Lanez is talking about Nicki like they are dating! I laughed at his statement, “maybe in the future when the time is right, we’ll do something that’s right.” It seems like they just had a breakup through text message. Maybe these two shouldn’t let their egos get in the way of their music because we might have had a great single. Sorry, Tory, you lost your chance with Miss. Minaj, I’m sure she will forgive you soon especially after this public apology.
But they redeemed themselves by giving it their all in this performance.
Check it out their performance of “Narcos” here:
Check out their performance of “Stir Fry” here:
Honestly, they had a little bit too much autotune. This album doesn’t perform as well as their previous release Culture. I wonder why SNL didn’t have them as musical guest when Culture was huge. Oh well, good job Migos.
The original Yeezy Boost 700‘s return this week. On March 10th Via Adidas.com and the Yeezy Supply website, Yé fans and other hypebeasts from all around the world are going to be buying up Kanye’s kicks in the original colorway.

Did you see the Academy Awards last night? For the first time in history, the Best Original Screenplay was won by the first African-American Jordan Peele. He took home his first Oscar for Get Out against previous nominees John Singleton, Spike Lee, and Suzanne de Passe.
His acceptance speech was emotional to me. He told the audience that he had trouble finishing the movie’s script since he didn’t expect it to get made. He said that the writing for this movie took a while. Having written it about 20 times, who would’ve known he’d take home his first Oscar because of it. History was made last night at the 90th Academy Awards show, and even though last months over.. black history is still being made! Be sure to check out Get Out if you haven’t already. Did you see that movie? It is mind blowing.
The Front Bottoms, aka one of my favorite bands that I have spent countless dollars on seeing them six times in concert, just released an announcement that they are going to be releasing an album where they are re-doing their demos. The Front Bottoms can best be described as an indie rock duo from New Jersey (my hometown), and they are a wildly electric blend of pop, rock and punk.
If you don’t know them, which you should, here are some of their best songs:
As a fan of The Front Bottoms, a lot of their unreleased demos are some of their best work.
They released on their Twitter account short versions of the songs they were going to release on this EP.

It is shocking that they are releasing new music since they just released an album in October entitled, “Going Grey” which topped their 2015 release Back on Top, and shattered the rumors that they were selling out and going to a more pop influence. I can’t wait for them to release the new version of their old songs because they are just too good not to try to produce. This band really has something special and knows how to inspire a crowd.
Check out their demos that they might be remaking:
Jaden Smith’s SYRE album was released back in November, and since then he’s been buzzing all on social media.
