Prominent Hip Hop producers, London On Da Track and Southside of 808 Mafia have announced that they are giving away 15 original beats each to deserving artists following comments made from rising rapper Russ. Footage from a 2016 interview of Russ recently surfaced online where he blamed producers for the current state of Hip Hop. Of course, his remarks caused an uproar in the producer community and instead of bashing Russ’ name, they are supplying talented independent artists with FREE beats which would normally cost well over $2,500 or more. pic.twitter.com/WABsfPbbW2 — Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) April 22, 2018 Lalaa Shepard @lalaashep

Source: Sandra Standbridge / Getty One tough billed warrior goose put the fear of God in a golf player they thought was threatening their family. The whole incident happened in Michigan at Wolf Creek Golf Course in the middle of a high school tournament. Isaac Couling of Concord High School was walking with his peers down a fairway where a goose was sitting on an egg in a nest nearby. According to ABC News , a sign warned that geese were close-by and the golfers thought they were keeping their distance. However, what they didn’t know was that one stealthy killa was creeping up behind them making sure they didn’t get close to the fam. The goose attacked the four golfers and Isaac in particular got the worst of the animal’s fury. Devon Gilson-Pitts , whose husband is an assistant golf coach for Blissfield High School, thought it was the perfect time to pull out her camera and take pics. And you thought golf was boring? @Madison_Golf @BlissfieldGolf pic.twitter.com/RNDcHd8lob — Blissfield Athletics (@BlissAthletics) April 22, 2018 Here’s a close-up if you need it. Cold. Eventually, once she put her camera down, Devon drove a golf cart with her husband in between the golfer and the goose so it would flee. She told ABC News it took four carts to get the feathered killa away. “At no point in my life I ever thought golf would be fun or exciting till yesterday,” Devon wrote on Facebook. “We have a great group of kids on the golf team and had some excitement on the course yesterday.” Well it’s goods to know Devon had a blast. Meanwhile, poor Isaac is probably traumatized. Leave it to your rival school to make fun of your pain. Blissfield Athletics probably didn’t think twice when they posted the pictures on Twitter. When one user asked if Isaac was okay, Blissfield responded , “Just his pride was hurt.”

When Cardi B dropped her track “Be Careful” it was a moment. Like “Bodak Yellow,” girls could relate to the lyrics and although the newer track covered a different topic, it evoked the strongest of emotions in Bardi Gang. Cardi has a way of hyping her fans. So, when little Cece (@ thececeshow ) impersonated girls getting in their feelings while rapping “Be Careful” it was accurate AF and deserving of the RP it eventually got from the Bronx, N.Y. rapper. Hit the flip to see more clips from the aspiring actress and comedic impersonator. Her Maxine Waters video is jokes.

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty Kanye West had people’s emotions ALL over the place this week ever since he returned to Twitter. His tweets have some people wondering if he’s got a serious problem, or if he’s just being regular old Kanye. For now, I’m just going to take the easy route and say it’s his Gemini-ness coming out…and boy is it coming out STRONG. spread love — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018 I’m nice at ping pong — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018 let’s be like water — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018 See what I mean? Now I love my Gemini’s, but those flip sides can put you on an emotional roller coaster if you’re not careful. In one minute, Kanye will take you on the mountain high of a new album release date , and in another minute, he’ll dip you to the valley lows of Trump -land where “Make America Great” hats are now fashionable. A lot of people are mad over Kanyes hat. pic.twitter.com/WAL821aqqV — 24/7 HipHop News (@BenjaminEnfield) April 25, 2018 My soul is DRAINED. Kanye made so many proclamations on Wednesday alone, we thought we’d start collecting everything he’s said, just so you can keep up. In the words of Mo’Nique , “be brave enough” to swipe right for Kanye’s stand-out tweets, and “make it make sense!”

Cole was pretty obvious when he dissed Kanye West in 2016 with “False Prophets” — but it seems that Cole is the real prophet for even foreshadowing the chain of events that is “Yeezy Meltdown 2k18.” While Kanye is wilding out for Trump etc, let’s remember that @JColeNC warned us in 2016 on “False Prophets” pic.twitter.com/W6n7SLLzZD — derick (@DerickSmith_) April 25, 2018 If you actually read some of Ye’s recent tweets while listening to the record, it’ll confirm that Cole was speaking nothing but facts. Like when he boasts about convos with Trump: pic.twitter.com/YyUw0mCKov — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018 And any fan of me wants Ye to be Ye even when they don't agree because I represent the fact that they can be themselves even when people don't agree with them. Drops mic Yeezy shrug — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018 Or when his wife slams everyone for not seeing that her husband is a “genius”: Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018 Okay, Kim. But one thing we do agree with is that mental health is not to be played with or glamorized: Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018 Looks like Cole isn’t the only one shaking his head at his idol’s fall from grace: False Idols — Jaden Smith (@officialjaden) April 25, 2018 We Need To Go Forward Not Backwards. — Jaden Smith (@officialjaden) April 25, 2018 Kanye has been on our Black Card revoked list anyway.

Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty If you never thought Beyoncé could be your direct pathway to God, think again. The Queen Bey is inspiring fans at concerts and in the pulpit. San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral is definitely moved. On Wednesday, they are hosting a Beyoncé mass which will celebrate and unpack the legacy of Bey. The event will be hosted by the weekly progressive worship service The Vine , and it’s set to include Beyoncé’s music and Bible readings by women of color that relate to her music. Reverend Yolanda Norton , who will preside over the mass, assured folks that this isn’t some Bey Hiv cult situation. “This is not a service deifying Beyoncé,” she told Essence . “This is a service that uses Beyoncé’s music as a tool to engender positive, empowering conversation about Black women. The premise of [the class] is that if we look at the personal life, career trajectory, music and public persona of Beyoncé, so much of her life reflects aspects of black women’s stories.” She continues, “We use ‘Flaws and All,’ a song maybe she wrote for her fans or for Jay-Z . But if you listen to the words in an ecclesiastical context, it’s a very faithful, honest, raw acknowledgment of the imperfect relationship we have with God.” Preach! Are you down for the Beyoncé-filled, fire-baptized session? If you’re in the San Francisco area, you can hit up Grace Cathedral at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday (April 25)!
