Blac Youngsta is out with another new music video to his song, “Late”. Check it out below and see what you think.
It’s true. PnB Rock does have issues, even with a bad b*tch by his side. Here’s another one for ya’ll f*ck boys! It’s the new video to his song “Issues” featuring Russ and you can watch it via YouTube. Check it out below.
Just like most of the veterans in Hip Hop, Waka Flocka is not a fan of some of the new rap artists of today. Flocka has already insulted a few rappers, calling Lil Pump an “albino Waka Flocka” and Smokepurpp is a “lame”. Next Waka takes his insult to upcoming rapper & internet sensation Lil Xan.
Flocka took it upon himself to take it to Twitter and BAN Lil Xan from Hip Hop all together! Legend Tupac agreed with Flocka’s decision adding a “so be it”.
A recent interview Xan had did with Revolt was the reason these legends felt the way they did towards him. Lil Xan said that Tupac’s music was boring and a lot of artists found this down right disrespectful! Waka jumped on Twitter after his ban comment and clarified that Tupac is the “god of rap” and Pac helped Waka get through his childhood.
Lil Xan says he’s now no longer doing interviews. Come on Xan, show the greats some respect!
Rihanna keeps coming out with clothing lines that impress all of her fans due to the creativity and style that she possesses. On Valentine’s Day she put out her line of socks, and now she is coming out with a lingerie line. Personally, I feel like the lingerie line should have come out on Valentine’s Day but you can’t rush the creative process.
According to WWD, Rihanna has reportedly struck a deal with the El Segundo-based brand TechStyle Fashion Group to produce her next line of fashion. It almost feels natural that she would put out a lingerie brand. It feels like her ten-year career has been leading up to this folks. Just kidding, but it will seriously be an amazing collection that adds to her stage persona.
I will definitely try to buy a piece from this line since I already know it is going to be a bestseller. I can’t wait to see the spin she is going to take on this since apparently sex with her is amazing:
There is no launch date yet but I expect her to release a statement sometime this month. Hopefully, it will be right around when spring starts.
Rihanna has had a long relationship with bras:
“If I’m wearing a top, I don’t wear a bra. If I’m wearing a bra, I just wear a bra.”
Hopefully, she’ll model them!
In the music industry, it can be easy to be caught up in the stage persona that artists promote to their audiences. In the background of all of that, they can be completely different people with their own struggles. Many famous singers have confessed in interviews that they still feel depressed and sad some of the time despite their level of success.
These people are recording albums, living up to the expectations of fans and typically going on huge world tours throughout the entire year. Not only this but they have to be constantly bombarded with paparazzi and people who want to exploit their personal lives for money. These people are closely watched and criticized for the whole world to see and that takes a toll on their mental health.
Throughout the years some musicians have killed themselves due to the pressure and cannot get their lives back, which leads them to madness.
A suicide that was really sudden happened last year with the death of Chester Bennington from Linkin Park on July 20th, 2017. When singers bring up heavy topics in their songs like depression, loneliness, and frustration- it is hard for the listener to truly understand the depth of how the singer actually feels because the listener is focusing on their own experience.
Listen to one of their heavier songs here:
There were clear warning signs that Chester had a rough time in the past couple years with the suicide of his best friend, Chris Cornell. Chester killed himself on the day of his birthday which left fans in complete shock. I actually had tickets to see Linkin Park a week before he killed himself. But there were clear warning signs that should have been noticed.
Just check out this interview that was more of a cry for help:
Collectively as an industry, they must change the stigma on mental health. The industry should be more accepting that these celebrities are people too with thoughts and emotions. So often people think that they are Gods or people who are so successful that there is no possible way they could be sad. But we also don’t know what it is like to be them. By talking about these issues more it will hopefully bring light to them and stop other musicians from throwing away their life because they don’t know how to express their grief properly.
Rest in peace Chester Bennington, you will truly be missed.
