They Didn’t Fit The “Decorum” Of The Party Straight Outta Compton was one of the most seminal albums to come out of hip hop and N.W.A couldn’t even go to their own listening party when it was released. Ice Cube went on the Late Late Show with James Cordon and explained the whole situation. Apparently, the bouncer for the uppity venue thought N.W.A was “gang bangers” and refused to let them in. So N.W.A did what any group would do when it’s late night and you have nowhere to go. Peep his story for yourself above!

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty More info is coming out about the process behind Kanye West ‘s new album Ye . Kanye sat down with Big Boy at Ye ‘s listening party in Wyoming and revealed a lot about his mind state during the making of the album. Everything from the meaning behind the title, to his self-described mental illness, to his infamous TMZ appearance was discussed. “I completely redid the album after TMZ,” Kanye said. “We just sat there and like really honed in on the words, cause also we know now it’s all headline and every bar can be used.” When talking about his “slavery was a choice” statements, Kanye revealed, “There’s even bars that we had about that. I took a bar off the album.” He continued, “It was just too sensitive about that topic and stuff and I just was like ‘yo Ima just chill right now. Let’s just keep making some music.’” So it seems like Kanye isn’t completely oblivious to the outside world’s feelings. But then again, it makes you wonder what those missing bars said… Scary. Maybe it’s best we don’t know. You can watch the full interview for yourself below with the TMZ talk starting at 6:05.

Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.

For the record, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian are not twins. But they easily could have fooled us in their latest Instagram photo. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians stars are posing side by side in the photo above, both decked out in form-fitting black turtlenecks and both checking themselves out in a mirror. Kim’s hair is pulled into some kind of messy ponytails, while Kourtney’s locks are flowing all the way down. Both are also getting their Kylie Jenner -like pout on. The snapshot was taken at a listening party for Kanye West’s upcoming album, which was the basis for Kourtney’s very classy caption. “Studio hoes,” 36-year-old wrote. Kim has clearly trimmed down a great deal since giving birth to Saint West on December 5. She has annoyingly made her weight loss a very big deal on social media, announcing last week that she’ll be teaming with Atkins to shed many pounds and hopes her followers visit her website to see this journey. We hope she chokes on a piece of kale. Kourtney, meanwhile, also shared a double mirror selfie with Kylie: The real question in all of this, of course, is whether or not Kourtney will become the next Bachelorette on ABC. We can think of a few reasons why she would be the ideal candidate: View Slideshow: 19 Reasons Kourtney Kardashian Needs to Be the Next Bachelorette
Janelli Caceres-Pickens with her two daughters at Chinx Drugz album listening party Janelli Caceres-Pickens In Starring Role For Chinx Drugz Video “On Your Body” Chinx Drugz’s widow made her surprise debut as a video girl in his new posthumously released music video, “On Your Body.” In the video, Janelli Caceres-Pickens is in Miami, getting dolled up for a night on the town with Chinx. She rides in a white Bentley through South Beach to meet him–only to be surprised by her three kids in an upscale restaurant. The video used lots of over the shoulder shots that showed off her tattoo of Chinx’s face and “Mrs. Pickens” at the nape of her neck. Chinx’s manager, Doug Ellison, unveiled the new video at his album listening party July 15 at Stage 48 in Manhattan, in front of guests like Maino, Sugar J, Welven the Great, Vado and French Montana’s brother Coke Boy Zack. The event showcased the rapper’s debut album, “Welcome to JFK,” which will be released Aug. 14. Ellison said they drove to Miami to shoot the video, which was shot in less than a week. “We’re here to pay homage to our brother,” he said. “It’s super surreal that I’m actually here and celebrating something he worked so hard for without him actually being here.” DJ Killa Touch, Jadakiss’ DJ (top left) and Meet Sims, who is on Chinx’ forthcoming album, at Chinx Drugz album release party July 15 Caceres-Pickens seemed to enjoy her time in the limelight, dancing on stage with her five-year-old son Lionel “Nugget” Pickens Jr. and rapping along to her late husband’s lyrics. But her emotions got the better of her when DJ Amazin played Chinx’s song “Die Young.” The visibly upset widow put her sunglasses on and looked down at the floor. The couple’s two other daughters were also on hand for the listening party. There was no sign of Chinx’s heavily pregnant ex-girlfriend Patricija Muratovic , who is due to give birth to their child, Liam, any day. Chinx was murdered in a drive-by shooting two months ago after coming from a performance in a Brooklyn club. His killer has not yet been arrested.
