Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty For the first time in 14 years, the almighty Dipset is back to the music and sound more united than ever. Cam’Ron , Jim Jones , Juelz Santana, and Freezy Zeeky have been estranged in times past, but their new Diplomatic Ties album signals that their bond was weakened but never severed. With the help of two singles, “Sauce Boyz” and “On God” featuring Belly, the Dipset rang the alarm on their return in ways unexpected and over top of the sound that made the group popular. The group’s last project, Diplomatic Immunity 2 , dropped in 2004 and each rapping member of the crew has gone on to forge solid and active solo careers. Across nine tracks, Diplomatic Ties fuses the sounds of the new and old, with the gang reconnecting with The Heatmakerz for that classic Dipset sound onto current sounds with the likes of Murda Beatz. Features include the likes of Trav, who runs heavy with Capo, Tory Lanez, who has proven himself to be a spitter worth respecting of late, and the still-potent rapping trio of The Lox. For true Dipset fans, they’ll recognize the name Un Casa, who appears on the album’s intro. Hopefully, this is just a warmup for the gang and they’ll hit the booth to give us more of that New York heat as only they can. Check out Diplomatic Ties via the streams below.

You already knew that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West love Chicago , but you were aware the couple also has an affection for the Illinois city of the same name? We apologize for that sad bit of dad-joke word play, but Kimye makes it too easy with their “eccentric” baby names. All awful kidding aside, Kim and Kanye named their daughter Chicago for a reason — it’s Kanye’s hometown, and he credits the city with helping to transform him into the man he is today. We can only assume Chi-Town has a magnet school that specializes in teaching children how to throw egomaniacal tantrums and design horrendously ugly sneakers. Just kidding, Yeezy! Anyway, the point is, Kanye’s relationship with Chicago is not unlike his marriage — full of love, but very, very complicated. Speaking with TMZ this week, ‘Ye revealed his desire to return to the Midwest and remain there for the rest of his days: “I gotta let y’all know that I’m moving back to Chicago and I’m never leaving again,” West told the outlet. Unfortunately, there are some problems with Kanye’s fantasy. For starters, trying to imagine Kim digging into some deep dish while sandwiched between two portly Bears fans is like picturing Kid Rock enjoying high tea at Buckingham Palace. On top of that, Kim recently lambasted one of Chicago’s most beloved son in a tirade that many interpreted as an attack on the city itself. The beef had to do with Kanye’s charity and his alleged lack of involvement in the foundations that bear his name. Chicago rapper Rhymefest was particularly harsh on Yeezy, leading Kim to clap back in epic fashion: “U haven’t been right since u got kicked out of the studio in Hawaii wearing fake Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST,” the mother of three tweeted. “You’re over levergenging [sic] Kanye’s name & asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics & lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation [sic].” Chicagoans went off on Kim in response, and as far as anyone knows the feud still isn’t settled. So Kim probably isn’t thrilled with the idea of leaving her beloved Calabasas behind for a city where she’s even more widely despised than she is in the rest of the country. The situation has led to another round of Kim-Kanye divorce rumors , but we think the internet is getting a little ahead of itself on this one. In all likelihood, this just another one of Yeezy’s weird attempts at humor. View Slideshow: Kanye West Debuts New Album, Raps About Tristan Thompson Cheating Scandal

Source: Newscast / Getty The internet is no stranger to seeing some of it’s most beloved Youtubers–or at least people with huge followings–make incredibly mindless decisions despite how many people they will be affecting. Today, the internet is aimed at Logan Paul , a vlogger who documents his life every single day to more than 15 million subscribers–raking in nearly 5 million views a day. Him and his brother Jake Paul have both garnered huge followings on Youtube, and most of their audience consists of younger, pre-teen children who watch for videos of pranks, music videos, and different viral challenges. The younger demographic in Logan’s palm is especially alarming when it comes to what he’s under fire for. The Youtuber visited Japan’s ‘suicide forest’ and posted footage of a dead body, which was followed by him and his friends laughing at the body hanging from a tree. Though the head of the body was blurred out, the rest of the person was shown in full focus as Paul and his whole clan chuckled over discovering someone who committed suicide in ‘suicide forest.’ He’s since deleted the video, but not before it got over a million views. Obviously people are outraged by his decision to upload something like this, especially when he’s treating an extremely serious topic like a joke. He issued an apology, which for many is only putting him in even hotter water. So sorry. pic.twitter.com/JkYXzYsrLX — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) January 2, 2018 Check out some of the reactions to the whole situation on the next few pages. Dear @LoganPaul , How dare you!

Go rot in hell.
