This is Tracy Morgan. This is ‘The Last O.G.’” He continued, “You gonna ask that about Tiffany, ask that about Cedric (the Entertainer) and ask that about craft services.”   Not feeling the shade, Tiffany’s former co-star on The Carmichael Show Lil’ Rel decided to clap back.

Vince Staples Explains Why He Doesn’t Care About Pusha T & Drake Beef

Read more:

Source: Lauren Beasley / Hot 96.3 Vince Staples once again speaks on the controversial subject of the day, and of course he keeps it a thousands with a dash of humor. This time, he’s weighing in on the Pusha T and Drake beef. Things got real personal when Push dropped his “The Story of Adidon” track , and he talked about Drake’s father, mom and his alleged baby mama  Sophie Brussaux. While some people are saying it’s all fair game in battle rap to get personal, Vince seems to think differently. In an interview with  Mike D and Matt Wilkinson, Vince said, “when somebody dies, I’ll pay attention, cause if we not going there then why are we doing it. That’s my mantra on violence and aggressiveness.” He then half-jokingly continued, “with that being said, please don’t talk about me in songs. Be nice to me and I’ll be nice to you and I’ll give you a ride in my car, if it’s charged.” You can check out the full clip below…   But Vince’s rap beef talk didn’t end there. Apparently, he got some pushback from his comments and he explained himself more on Twitter. So lemme get this right. Y’all want niggas to rap about people’s mamas, baby mamas, wives, cousins and brothers in a duragatory manner & I’m wrong cause I expect repercussions? 2sho hip hop, 2sho. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) June 1, 2018 I spelled derogatory wrong but this Crip so there you have it. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) June 1, 2018   Vince does have a point. Some of the things Push said about Drake’s family would definitely result in a “cash me outside” moment in real life.   Can we really expect personal hits to stay on wax? Vince had more thoughts on the subject. Swipe through to see him break it down in his usual hilarious style.

A$AP Rocky Denies Telling Pusha Tea About Drake’s Baby Mama

Source: Credit: WENN.com Uploaded By Godspeed Much to the surprise of many, Pusha T kicked off the week by dropping a scathing Drake diss track which revealed that the 6 God fathered a secret child with ex-porn star, Sophie Brussaux . After the initial shock of the news settled in fans began to question “Who blessed Pusha T with that Drake dossier?” Mind you, Pusha said “We just gon’ peel it back layer by layer.” What else does he know?! While rumors that Christopher Steele was the source were farfetched and hilarious, Black Sports Online ended up pointing a finger at A$AP Rocky as he was seeing Sophie even while she was cooking up Drake’s bun in her oven. A source told Black Sports Online that “Everyone knew that she thought Drake was the father, but ASAP confirmed it as 100% true to Pusha T who decided to use that information in his song. Sophie is a known groupie and former escort. She married a man for a green card and still is technically married. Drake unfortunately picked the wrong one to not use protection with, she thinks she hit the lottery with him.” Damnit, Drake! Naturally the rumor found its way to Flacko who took to Twitter to air out the bogus information saying “GET OFF MY D*CK KEEP MY NAME OUT DAT GOSSIP BLOG SH*T.” GET OFF MY DICK KEEP MY NAME OUT DAT GOSSIP BLOG SHIT. WHOS PROVIDING TIPS? QUIDDITCH ASS NIGGAS, RIDIN HARRY POTTER STICK 2 FIND DA SNITCH — LORD FLACKO JODYE II (@asvpxrocky) June 1, 2018 We can’t blame Rocky for having vehemently denied the accusation, but these are the kin of troubles that come with being part of only a handful of people who know top secret information. Had Drake been down with Vladimir Putin, A$AP’s life might’ve been in danger. But until Pusha Tea decides to reveal his source fans will only continue to guess who the culprit was and why said person isn’t helping Robert Mueller obtain more incriminating evidence on Donald Trump. —

Kendrick Lamar Gets His Pulitzer Prize for ‘DAMN.’ [VIDEO]

Originally posted here:

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty In early April it was announced that Kendrick Lamar would be honored with a Pulitzer Prize for his art on his critically acclaimed album DAMN. and yesterday (May 30) the big day finally arrived as the Compton rapper touched down in New York City to accept his well-deserved award. This would mark the first time in history that a jazz or non-classical artist received the honor (even though many consider DAMN. to be a classic). Though he didn’t give a in-depth speech about the achievement, K. Dot did say it was “honor” and beautiful” to be recognized for his work as he’s “been writing my whole life.” Congratulations, King. Keep that fire in your belly roaring. Check out the ceremony below. — Photo: WENN.com

#TBT: Classic Visuals Of Pusha T Without Braids

Source: Paul Warner / Getty With Pusha T ‘s scorching “The Story of Adidon,” rappers and fans alike are digging into the past, and it’s definitely filled with surprises . One thing that’s not surprising when it comes to Push is that there was definitely a time when he didn’t have braids. Considering how long he’s been rocking them, you’d think he just popped out the womb with hangtime. However, according to a Noisey interview , Push only started growing out his hair after he lost a friend who had braids. He also credits it to being a Virginia thing. Luckily, iconic photographer Jonathan Mannion is here to remind us of a clean cut Push. He photographed Push in 1999 when he was still rhyming with his brother Malice (now  No Malice) as Clipse . Check out Jonathan’s Instagram post below!   Classic. Swipe through for some more braid-less Pusha T in Clipse’s “The Funeral” music video off their unreleased  Exclusive Audio Footage  album.
