Relinquish The Culture, White Devil: Miley Cyrus Wants To Party With Cardi At The Grammys And Twitter Isn’t Having It

Getty Images Twitter Wants To Keep Miley Cyrus Away From Cardi B Sometime last year, Miley Cyrus turned in her twerking pants to return back to her Southern roots, and she started making non-threatening Country music again. After some photoshoots in a corn field and music that sounds literally the opposite of what she was doing for the longest, the world was convinced that Miley finally gave up on culturally appropriating over Mike Will Made It beats. Though Cyrus did released a cringey “Bodak Yellow” cover last year as well, people were still convinced that she had left hip hop culture for good–but now that idea might be making a total 180. Miley commented on a recent video that Cari B posted on Instagram telling her that they need to meet up at the Grammys this weekend, and people are not having it.   pic.twitter.com/bxFcIvyEaR — Hannah Giorgis (@ethiopienne) January 28, 2018 Though it’s probably just an innocent request for a picture together, people still aren’t happy to see Miley Cyrus peeking her head back into the culture she threw to the wayside. Ole girl changed her whole persona back to being a wholesome white girl after benefitting off of hip hop for so long–so seeing any signs of her trying to once again be hip hop are annoying, to say the least. Here’s what people had to say about the interaction.   So Miley pivoting back to culture now huh — messi lingard (@sdotsom7) January 28, 2018 Miley Cyrus album flopped after she denounced hip hop and now she just pressed the emergency “Culture” button. https://t.co/yUDkRhKu71 — Ahmed/Drakeo & 03 Greedo are the greatest (@big_business_) January 28, 2018   The Gram Grams?! pic.twitter.com/3H5plFmlJO — I'm Black, Y'all (@karaisshort) January 28, 2018 Continue reading

You Good, Mane? Gucci Announces ANOTHER Album A Week After The Release Of ‘El Gato The Human Glacier’

Paras Griffin/Getty Images for Spotify Gucci Mane’s Next Project Is Already In The Works Gucci Mane has surely been capitalizing on his time since being released from jail. Not only did he propose to and marry his boo thang Keyshia K’aoir–and have the expensive extravaganza televised–but he’s also been released more music that pretty much everyone in the game. The Atlanta native has always been known to spit out a bunch of content i a pretty short period of time, but the rapper’s recent timeline has definitely been a lot quicker than most would expect. The East Atlanta Santa spent the year making tons of music, and throughout the 12 month perioud has dropped a number of studio albums including  Drop Top Wop ,  Mr. Davis  and  El Gato: The Human Glacier . His last effort was just released on December 22, but already, Mr. Davis has his next musical venture in line, presumably for the early months of 2018. Next solo album #TheEvilGenius pic.twitter.com/tdapkENTtO — Gucci Mane (@gucci1017) December 28, 2017 On Friday, Gucci tweeted out a photo of him looking extra fresh in his tracksuit, with a caption announcing the name of his next project. The caption reads: “Next solo album  # TheEvilGenius .” The album “announcement” didn’t say any concrete details on when this project will actually be released, but knowing how quickly Gucci works, it wouldn’t be surprising to get some new content right in time for the new year.

Lil Uzi Vert Brought Meek Mill’s Son Papi Onstage In Philly To Rap Like His Daddy

Shareif Ziyadat/WireImage Meek Mill’s Son Joined Lil Uzi Onstage In Philly As you all know, Meek Mill  is currently serving two to four years in state prison after being found guilty of violating probation. On Friday night, however, his presence was definitely felt in Philadelphia during Lil Uzi Vert’s show with Tidal, “A Very Uzi Xmas.” As a fellow Philadelphian, Lil Uzi Vert used his homecoming show to include Meek’s son Papi as one of the ubiquitous guests performances throughout the concert.  Papi looked shy as he sang along and held his mic toward the audience while he hit the stage with Uzi for “Dreams & Nightmares (Intro).” Lil Uzi Vert brought out Meek Mill's son, Papi, for “Dreams And Nightmares” in Philly pic.twitter.com/zuXaHF7D1n — LIL UZI VERT (@LUVTheAlbum) December 23, 2017 Papi didn’t exactly look like he loved being onstage too much, but once the mic got out of his hands he looked a lot more comfortable mouthing every word of his dad’s popular song. Lil Uzi Vert also got supporting appearances from  Pharrell ,  Nicki Minaj, Playboi Carti  and  ASAP Ferg  in front of a huge crowd of dedicated fans at Philadelphia’s Liacouras Center.

Kim Kardashian: I’m Proud of My Sex Tape!

Over 10 years since its release, we’re still talking about the Kim Kardashian sex tape. Or, to be more accurate, over 10 years since it release Kim Kardashian and her family members are still talking about the  Kim Kardashian sex tape . On one hand, we can’t blame them. This piece of sizzling footage – filmed by Kim and Ray J during the prime of their relationship, during a trip to Cabo – is the main reason Kim and her loved ones are famous, after all. On the other, however, you’d think there might be a semblance of guilt or shame over the family’s empire being so dependent on video of a D-List hip hop artist bending Kim over and… … sorry, nevermind. You get it by now. But last night’s midseason finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians made just the opposite clear: Kim remains very proud of her work in that video. On the episode in question, Kim, Kris Jenner and a few other cast members sat down for a media training session. At one point, the topic turned to Kim’s often-viewed banging of Ray J, with the interviewer saying to Kris: “The Hollywood Reporter has called it ‘The Kardashian Decade: how a sex tape lead to a billion dollar brand.’ “Kris, interestingly your eyes dropped when Jen got to the mention of the tape.” “I know,” Kris replied with a smile. The trainer then gave Jenner advice on how to react when the sex tape was brought up. “I think try to keep that eye contact and not look like, ‘Ugh.’ Almost like that poked in the ribs a little bit,” he said. And this is when Kardashian herself chimed in as follows: “Don’t be ashamed!”  That’s actually a pretty funny line. And it’s refreshing that Kim can joke about the video that clearly did launch her career, instead of pretending like she never wanted it leaked and that it’s all just so gosh darn embarrassing. Click on the video below to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online and relive this fun scene: Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 14 Episode 12 Online Elsewhere during the media training session, Kris was asked about Caitlyn Jenner . She insisted that she didn’t turn a “blind eye” to her ex-husband’s desire to be a woman, only that she didn’t have the “whole truth” during their marriage. As for things Caitlyn wrote about in her memoir? “Well, I think just the general tone of the book [was a problem],” she replied, adding in more detail: “Very mean-spirited. A lot of inaccuracies. “I think somebody with a little elegance and class and somebody that’s been divorced but trying to stay on good term with the family might have written: “‘Wow, married to her, didn’t work out, she’s a great girl, wish it could have been different.'” That’s fair. Then again, Kris pushed her daughter to make a sex tape and then profited off said sex tape. So we’re not sure if she’s really in a position to tell others what should or should not be made public.
