  • Drake planning Houston Appreciation Weekend music festival

    Drake has been putting on OVO Fest in his hometown of Toronto for the past five years. The two-day festival features some of the biggest names in hip-hop with Outkast and other special guests performing this year and Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Miguel, The Weeknd, Lil Wayne and TLC having performed in years past. Now Drake has plans to bring a festival to his "second home," Houston, Texas, in an event dubbed Houston Appreciation Weekend (HAW).

  • Jay Z, Macklemore and Drake dominate actual map of each state's favorite performer

    Last week a Buzzfeed map caused mass-music confusion for readers who failed to understand what it was showing them. Many assumed they were seeing a chart revealing every state's favorite band, when in fact the map was showing them what performer was listened to in larger amounts in that state versus in other states. The difference between the two options is important. A new map has now emerged that actually reveals every state's "favorite" performer based on the listening habits of 250,000 individuals (which admittedly is not a very large sample).

  • Outkast, Drake headline OVO Fest, following in Lil Wayne, Jay Z's footsteps

    Outkast is continuing its mission to absolutely dominate the festival scene in 2014. In January, the "Hey Ya" duo promised to perform at an astounding 40 different venues this year. After announcing dates at Coachella, New York's Governor's Ball and the Hangout Fest, Outkast have added one more 2014 date: Drake's OVO Fest.

  • Drake 'disgusted' after Rolling Stone puts Philip Seymour Hoffman on cover of new issue instead of him

    Earlier, we reported that Drake had a few choice words to say in his Rolling Stone interview about Macklemore's apology text to Kendrick Lamar after the Grammys. Now, we've come to find that this interview was supposed to be part of a larger cover story about the Toronto rapper. Instead of putting Drake on the cover, however, the magazine opted to feature an image of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who passed away earlier this month.

  • Drake thinks Macklemore's apology text to Kendrick Lamar was 'wack'

    As previously reported, Macklemore apologized to Kendrick Lamar after he and Ryan Lewis beat out the Compton rapper in multiple rap categories, most notably Best Rap Album, as well as Best New Artist. "You got robbed," he wrote. "I wanted you to win. You should have. It's weird and sucks that I robbed you. I was gonna say that during the speech then the music started playing during my speech and I froze."
