  • Kendrick Lamar is Collaborating with Travi$ Scott and Diddy on Future Songs

    As HotNewHipHop reports, Kendrick Lamar has joined the popular producer/rapper Travi$ Scott and famed hip-hop mogul P. Diddy in the studio for a collaboration track. This news comes after Diddy, who apparently wants to be called "Puff Daddy" again, dropped his MMM mixtape. While the mixtape is dynamic, cohesive, and album-like, it is only the predecessor to his upcoming effort, No Way Out 2. It seems as if Diddy is no longer comfortable as a primarily behind-the-scenes player. The album has remained a closely guarded secret in terms of details, but will likely feature Travi$ Scott and other heavy-hitters with whom Diddy has partnered in the past.

  • Solange Responds to "Ugly" Comments About Instagram Baby Photo

    The Internet can be an ugly place, especially when posting a picture of your child. Solange Knowles learned that the hard way. The singer posted a picture of her 11-year-old son on Instagram, according to the Huffington Post, and was entirely taken aback when a user commented that the child was "ugly" and his mother a "fake celebrity." This kind of criticism, or trolling, is nothing new on the Internet, however, it often applies to the adult celebrities themselves, and not their children. Solange was understandable infuriated, and responded to the misguided Instagram user.

  • Lil B Has Cursed James Harden and Thinks it's Affecting His Early Season Game-Play

    It is fair to say the Houston Rockets haven't gotten off to a great start this NBA season. After a meek playoff performance and a 2-0 opening record, many are looking to James Harden as the reason for the franchise's failures. As MusicTimes reported earlier this year, Lil B felt very offended that he was not given credit for Harden's "cooking" victory dance, and thus cursed the rapper. The curse seemed to be working, on some level, as Harden's current performance is often sub par to say the least.

  • Vince Staples Bites Back At Noreaga And Others Who Say He Doesn't Appreciate 1990's Hip Hop

    Vince Staples was born in 1993, as he readily admits. He did not truly "experience" the age of "boom-bap" Hip Hop inspired by the production of the East Coast's RZA and the "g-funk" of West Coast's Dr. Dre. However, like most rappers (and music fans), the era is held in extremely high regard. Classic albums like Illmatic, Ready to Die, Reasonable Doubt, The Chronic, Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers), Hard To Earn, etc. cement the decade as one of the most important in the short history of hip-hop. These albums dealt with the sociopolitical issues facing African American youths in the inner city, and shined a light on an issue many Americans ignored. Vince Staples, however, is not particularly impressed with the decade's output, nor the comments made by peers such as Tyler the Creator and Noreaga over his critique.

  • Republican Debate for 2016 GOP Nomination RECAP [WATCH VIDEOS]

    Wednesday's GOP debate was often contentious, acrimonious, redundant, and to put it in the words of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, "rude." Below is our recap of the issues covered in the debate. The GOP debate began with a question regarding the candidates' greatest perceived weakness. John Kasich took this opportunity to advocate against cuts to Social Security, Medicade, and ending "tax schemes." Mike Huckabee joked that he had no weakness, and then admitted to "playing by the rules" too often. Jeb Bush said he was impatient and can't fake anger, Donald Trump said he can be too trusting of people, Carly Fiorina "doesn't smile enough" and Chris Christie neglected to state a weakness.
