G Herbo and Blac Youngsta drop off a new song titled “All Day” from Humble Beast’s deluxe edition. This record’s another one of those spark up and chill type of joints. He raps of all the triumphs he’s been through, and what it took to be in the position he’s in right now, and that might be the best thing we like about him. Only true Lil Herb fans know what’s up. Listen to it below.
I recently just wrote a music review that Grimes will be putting out music in 2018.
You can read my hopeful article here:

It turns out that Grimes might be set back for a few months.
She also deleted an Instagram post that described the progress of her new music from August. It previously read that she was “trying to legit make something you’ve never heard before.” She also stated that she needed 2 more months to put the finishing touches on her songs. But now it seems like that has been put on hold.
I wonder what happened behind the scenes for her to make such a public call out. The record company probably didn’t want to put out her music that was so creativity different, but that is her thing. I don’t understand why they would trash her songs when her music is always primarily good and substantial. Was it too weird even for Grimes?
I’m really hoping that Grimes is just being dramatic and we don’t have to wait too long for her new music. But it is always really upsetting when your projects get pushed back. I hope she is still set to release the album in 2018, even if it takes a little bit longer.

Drake just released his new music video for his recent hit song, “God’s Plan.”
Watch it here:
The video is quite beautiful as Drake gives out money to strangers in need. I love the beginning of the video and the snapshots of all the different people in the community. The highlight of this video is when he lets the crowd sing the most famous lyric in the song, “She say, “Do you love me?” I tell her, “Only partly”, I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry.”
It also had me thinking, what would I do if I randomly saw Drake on the street and he gave me a huge stack of money? I would probably have to apologize for my bad review of his song. You can read here.
Also, I don’t think Drake’s dance moves are going to get better anytime soon. He is shown given his classic, “Hotline Bling” swag at the beginning of the video.
Despite my criticism, Drake really took the hype from this song and made it into a message. He could have done a simple rap video with a girl that he likes, but instead, he wanted to top himself.
Check out his full statement here:

Although the video didn’t exactly match the song, since its main theme is about brushing off the haters, it did send a message out to the world. It’s videos like this that actually inspire change. In a time of such distress, we needed someone to remind us of our own humanity. I commend you Drake, you might be getting on my good side.
Saturday Night Live has been the home of many great performances. Some of the most popular artists in the music industry get to share the stage with brilliant comedians and actors. Even though SNL might not have the same charm that it did a few years ago, one cannot forget the legacy this show left on the world.
Here are the best performances that the SNL stage has hosted:
Kanye West, “Black Skinhead” (May 18, 2013):
In this performance, Kanye gives it his all combining rap with a gothic style. Off of his Yeezus album, he shows us why is one of the greatest rappers in the game.
Sia, “Elastic Heart” (January 17, 2015):
Sia had an amazing performance which brought her music video to the stage. She nailed it and made the audience truly become entranced with her vision for this song.
Arcade Fire sets the bar for indie rock performers, and just look how he smashes that guitar! True artistry.
One of the greatest bands of all time is sure to make the stage their bitch.
Miley Cyrus, “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” (February 15, 2015):

This performance showed that Miley Cyrus was extremely versatile and she wasn’t just her “Wrecking Ball” image. She has a great vocal range and showed it off. She is going to go down in history books.
Prince, Epic Jam Session, (November 1, 2014):
Prince is a legend and this performance is legendary
Frank Ocean, “Pyramids” (September 15, 2012):
Frank Ocean is not afraid to get vulnerable on stage and he shares a close moment here with us.
R.E.M., “Shiny Happy People” (April 13, 1991):
At a time of great loss for America, R.E.M. managed to produce a happy song that made everyone forget about their troubles. The performance was a fun one.
Elvis Costello sent a huge “screw you” to his record company by performing a single that they didn’t want him to play. This act of rebellion truly sent him to the top of the list.
What are your favorite performances? Do you agree with my list?
He posted this on Instagram to show his fans he was back:

It seems like he was certainly doing a lot of brainstorming during his time in prison. He recently announced his first live shows on February 6th, 2018.
The “Two Phones” rapper will be performing at JMBLYA’s shows in Dallas, Austin, and Houston from May 4-6 alongside Migos, Cardi B and others. He also will be performing in Lansing, Michigan on July 8th at the Common Ground Music Festival.

I’m happy Kevin Gates is back. I expect him to pick up where he left off and give us great tracks to fall in love with. He might not have two phones after his time in jail, but I’m sure he’s going to give us all a wake up call.
Justin Bieber is a celebrity who certainly has a huge ego. Not only does he have a DUI, he is known to have public outbursts that really contradict his stage performance of someone who is a loving guy who wants to treat his girlfriend right. The “Baby” singer is not afraid of being a complete asshole due to his money and fame. But his fans are still strong and are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on tickets. His music is still pretty good so I wouldn’t mind buying a ticket to see him, especially since Post Malone was his opening act for his Purpose tour.
Justin Bieber has actually been known to cancel his shows last second and leave his fans confused and upset. In the summer of 2017, Justin announced that the remaining 14 dates of his Purpose World Tour would be canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” He did not provide a full explanation, which was pretty rude. He claims he was exhausted from going on tour for a full year, but if you are a performer, it’s your job. Based on the tour dates, Justin had a total of 330 days off over a span of 480 days. That’s a lot of time to get some rest. Other pop artists have no problem performing for their fans. For example, Taylor Swift’s tour contained 85 shows, Beyonce had 49 shows and Rihanna played 75 shows. This is why these artists have stuck around for years.
When questioned Justin stated that he made his decision based on spiritual soul-searching and his own view of the path in life he should be taking. What do you mean?
This is not the first time that Justin has acted like a complete psycho. He reportedly crashed his car into a paparazzo as he was leaving a City Church event in Los Angeles in 2017.
In this Instagram post he literally told fans that he hates meeting them:
“I’m done. I’m not doing the show.”
Could you imagine being in the audience?
If Justin continues to treat his fans like this, they are going to start falling off. People can only tolerate an asshole for so long. It might be too late to say sorry.
