Feed ‘Em Beats: 6 Times J. Cole Ethered Someone Else’s Beat

Source: John Ricard / Getty J. Cole is a problem when it comes to this rap thing.     We all knew this, but sometimes folks forget. The “J Cole is boring and overrated” twitter is mad tonight and prolly will be tomorrow too.. but bet they click the link — Do You Love Me? (@dshauntv) August 8, 2018   So Cole reminded everyone how dope he is and how classic his KOD album was with his new, fire freestyle called “Album Of The Year” over Nas’ “Oochie Wally” beat.   The North Carolina emcee also revealed that he’s working on a new mixtape called The Off Season which will serve as a prelude to his HIGHLY anticipated album The Fall Off . If The Fall Off is just @JColeNC spitting over other popular beats….I don’t know what I’ll do https://t.co/6nW0QTNnxY — Joshy (@JoshStormD) August 8, 2018   That boy fire. Check out some other time Cole murdered someone else’s beat.

(Photo by Chance Yeh/Getty Images) Someone from Nicki Minaj’s family is finally speaking about her brother Jalani Maraj’s rape case. Her mother will discuss what the public wasn’t privy to that landed him in jail. Last week Carol Maraj shared via Twitter she will be conducting her first ever interview regarding her son’s trial. “Watch the Hip-Hop ‘Hood Report with Charles Fisher & the ‘Fitness Sheriff’ as I share the SHOCKING NEWS the COURT DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW in a TELL ALL INTERVIEW about my son’s TRIAL”. Watch the Hip-Hop ‘Hood Report with Charles Fisher & the “Fitness Sheriff” as I share the SHOCKING NEWS the COURT DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW in a TELL ALL INTERVIEW about my son’s TRIAL on (8/8-11pm)(8/11-3pm) Channel 20 Optimum, Channel 37 Verizon. STREAM@http://patv.org/livestream — Carol Maraj (@CarolMarajinc) August 5, 2018 This announcement came as a surprise to many as no one from his inner circle had really commented on the allegations that he had sex with his 11-year old stepdaughter. Charles Fisher, host of the Hip Hop ‘Hood Report, discussed how the the upcoming Q&A came about with  HipHopDX . “As a member of the Hip Hop Community, I take notice to all social issues that go down within the culture. When I heard about this story, something did not sound right so I contacted the family to see what I could do to bring the dark to light. The mom opened up to me with love and trust. Once I read the trial transcripts and motions to dismiss the case, I was convinced that something was wrong here. To protect the #METOO movement, I had to ask her to tell the story that no none has heard” he explained. Fisher clarified that his show is not out to clout chase but to create conversation how unjust the legal system can be. “The interview will expose the criminal justice system and open the door for criminal justice reform for all citizens. That is our mission, so this is bigger than Carol Maraj, this is for all those who feel that they have not gotten a fair shake with our system of law.” In November 2017 Jelani was found guilty of rape. His official sentencing has been delayed but faces up to 25 years in prison. Nicki has stayed quiet regaridng her brother’s case but the rumor is that she will address the subject on her upcoming album Queen that is set to be released this month. The interview will premiere today, August 8 at 8PM eastern time. You can stream here . Via HipHopDX Photo: WENN.com

90 Day Fiance Before The 90 Days: Meet the New Couples!

90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days is back with its second season. This reality series follows international couples before they begin the 90 day K-1 visa process. Some of them meet for the very first time on camera. Some relationships are clearly built to last. Others don't even make it to American soil. Some of the couples that you're about to see are familiar, while others are new. Take a look and decide for yourself who will make it. 1. Season 2 is here! Some of these names are so familiar that they’ll make your blood boil. Others are so new that we’re not even sure if both people involved are real. … 2. Tarik and Hazel Tarik (42) is an American father. Hazel (23) lives in the Philippines. The two met on an Asian dating app. Tarik’s brother is heavily skeptical of Hazel’s true motives, while Tarik is eager to get married — though a little hesitant about cultural differences, because he is not religious. 3. Daya This is Daya (26). He is from Algeria. He hails from a strict Muslim family and does not speak English, but he loves Marta. 4. Marta Marta (30) is a stripper from WIsconsin who supports two children. She and Daya have been calling each other “husband” and “wife,” but can he really accept her career? 5. Angela and Michael Angela (52) is American, while Michael (30) is Nigerian. Angela has six grandchildren (yes, at only 52), but was inspired when Michael reached out to her. Some of her family are suspicious of his motives. 6. Darcey and Jesse Darcey (42) and Jesse (24) are, of course, infamous. She’s from the US and he is from Amsterdam and these two seem to be constantly arguing. Sometimes, those squabbles spill over onto social media. View Slideshow

Kailyn Lowry on Briana DeJesus Fight: It’s All Javi’s Fault!

Tonight's episode of Teen Mom 2 is one that fans have been anticipating for quite some time. Reunion specials are generally considered to be the highlights of the season, but this one should really be a doozy, as we'll finally get to see the fight between Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus . Well, perhaps “fight” isn't the right word. We'll get to see Kailyn and Briana very nearly come to blows on at least two separate occasions. MTV keeps a lot of security on hand these days, which is good news for the cast, bad news for viewers who enjoy bloodshed. But despite the fact that Kail and Briana were prevented from tearing each other's throats out, things still got awfully ugly. And now, Ms. Lowry is offering some final thoughts before tonight's title bout: 1. Ready to Rumble According to reports from the set and audio released by MTV, the first altercation began when Kail confronted Bri in her dressing room. 2. The Showdown Kail decided to have a chat with Briana away from the cameras and the studio audience, so that the two of them could work out their differences in private. 3. A Civil Discussion As you can see in this clip, the sit-down didn’t quite go according to plan, and Kail attempted to engage Bri in a physical fight. 4. Cutting to the Chase “Why don’t you tell me why you felt so comfortable commenting what you commented on Instagram?” Kail asked her rival at one point. “This isn’t about Javi [Marroquin], this isn’t about the show.” 5. The Chris Conundrum “I want to know why you felt so comfortable to say some sh-t about my kids and Chris,” Lowry elaborated, referring to comments Bri made about her third baby daddy, Chris Lopez. 6. The Point of Contention Kail goes on to suggest that Bri crossed a line by dragging her family into the fight. “You don’t want me talking about your kids; you don’t want me talking about your mom …” she said at the time. Now, she’s elaborating on those comments. View Slideshow

The Bachelorette Finale Recap: Who Did Becca Kufrin Choose?

The Bachelorette just aired an iconic 14th season finale, and we can confirm what The Bachelorette spoilers foretold months ago: Becca Kufrin is engaged!! But to whom? Viewers have waited all summer (whether you read  Bachelorette spoilers  or not) to see how this thing ends for beautiful, sweet Becca. For Garrett Yrigoyen and Blake Horstmann, this is what they’ve fought for: To be the last man standing, holding a Neil Lane ring. After what was, by and large, a fairly conventional season, might an epic twist still be in the works, After the Final Rose style? To channel our inner Chris Harrison for a moment … this was NOT the most anticipated, controversial finale in Bachelorette history. But it wasn’t half bad. The beautiful Minnesotan spent 11 weeks paring down 25 suitors to just two. The two handsome men standing before her this evening. So would she give the final rose to Garrett Yrigoyen, the once-divorced, instant frontrunner with the shady Instagram history? Or would it go to Blake Horstmann, who has emerged as the dark Horst (sorry) over the past couple of episodes especially? Both gentlemen met her family as Becca struggled with what could be the most difficult, consequential decision of her life. Who does she see a brighter future with – and can she trust that person with her heart, especially after what happened with Arie? So which guy got the rose? And Becca said all along that she got engaged, but has it lasted? Is she still engaged right now? Man alive, The Bachelorette producers sure can cut a slick finale, keeping us guessing and methodically ratcheting up the drama. In the end, though, they can only do their best with the material Becca gives them, and there was no major shocker in store: Becca Kufrin is engaged to Garrett Yrigoven. Yes, the first impression rose recipient many weeks ago is now Becca’s fiance, having proposed (she said yes) at the end of the night. That doesn’t mean he was a lock, though. The finale focused hardcore on Becca’s “second thoughts” (again, those producers are good) and Blake really bringing his A-game. Maybe it was editing, or maybe it was just his feelings and their chemistry peaking at the right time, but Horstmann made it a contest. Just when you thought no one could match Garrett’s connection with Becca – and Becca’s family – Blake came awfully darn close. His final date, capped off by that amazing scrapbook, seemed to push Becca over the edge … or at least right up to the edge. Not unlike his competition, he started to look like a 50-50 partner, the kind she’s been dreaming of, and hoping he would be. As such, she was 50-50 when it came to the two guys, or so it seemed. Sadly, there could be only one, and Blake lost out. Rough. Holy cow that was … wow. That’s all we can say about that Blake breakup. Yeesh. It’s never easy to watch that sort of thing, but this one was super bad. He got through that whole speech and everything. She just stood there, Gone are the days when the show lets them off easy, apparently. Say what you will about reality shows, the pain on Blake’s face was pretty real, and Becca’s too for that matter. That was just painful. Guy was legit trembling out there. Even on the LIVE After the Final Rose special, it wasn’t much better. From the look on Blake’s face, you would think it had just happened. That’s love. That’s love. When Kufrin took the stage to see Horstmann FOR THE FIRST TIME since they split, both had nothing but kind words for the other. As Chris said, Blake has a LOT of fans in the house tonight. If he’s NOT The Bachelor next winter, that would be a surprise. Or at least a letdown. Speaking of a letdown … could the actual proposal from Garrett and the aftermath possibly match that level of emotion? Close. Very, very close. That was as sweet and cheesy (in a good way) as it gets, as Yrigoyen and Kufrin left the Maldives blissfully engaged. Now for the hard part … View Slideshow: Garrett Yrigoyen: Bachelorette Suitor’s Bigoted Social Media History EXPOSED
