Source: WENN.com / WENN SchoolBoy Q is having a hard time dealing with the death of his close friend  Mac Miller , so much so, he’s postponing his forthcoming album. During a recent show in Chicago, the TDE rapper told the crowd that he’s not his “real self” right now, but he’s pushing through because that’s what Miller would want. “I just don’t feel right putting out an album,” he said. “As y’all can tell, I’m not my real self right now…I shouldn’t even be here right now. But like I said, my ni**a Mac would not want me to be in the house sad. He would clown me for some weird sh*t.” Q is also not in the mood to do interviews. “I’m just not ready to walk into the radio station and the first thing they ask me is, ‘So Mac Miller’…I’m not ready to deal with those questions. So, right now, I’m not ready to put out nothing.” Watch him talk about struggling with the late rapper’s death  in the clip above. 26-year-old Miller died from an apparent overdose in his Studio City, CA home earlier this month.

Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Meek Mill has emerged as an unlikely high-profile figure for the criminal justice reform movement, using his own trials and recent incarceration as fuel to somewhat shift his tough-guy image into activism circles. The Philadelphia rapper was in Washington, D.C. over the weekend for the annual Congressional Black Caucus gathering where he shared details of a new track devoted to Colin Kaepernick. Page Six reports : “They won’t lynch him by hanging from a tree. They lynch his bank account,” Meek said, riffing a few bars and then explaining the takeaway. The song includes lyrics such as, “They told Kap to stand up if you want to play for a team, and most of his teammates said the same thing,” as well as, “Back in the ’30s you would be killed if you kneeled. They won’t kill you now, they just take you out of the deal.” The rapper told The Post that the Kaepernick song will appear on his next album. “I’m not actually giving out a release date, it’s a surprise album,” he said. Meek was present at a Friday (Sept. 15) CBC meeting regarding criminal justice reform where he made the comments about the track. — Photo: WENN
