Ice Cube Thinks Drake’s Spot At The Top of The Game Is Coming to An End

Wiggins/WENN.com  Many people have been waiting on Drake to respond to Pusha T’s new classic diss record before declaring a winner, but Hip-Hop OG Ice Cube feels that Drake’s rap supremacy is coming to an end and not just because of the scathing diss record either. During an interview on SANACAST, Cube admitted that he felt Drake’s come to the end of his royal road. He said, “I think your reign just becomes over. I think that the audience has determined that more. You get three years of you can own the airwaves but then it’s time for somebody else. That’s just been the pattern. That was the pattern with me.” He’s not wrong. Aside from Jay-Z’s reign from the late 90’s to the mid 00’s, it’s hard to think of another rapper who had the game in a chokehold for longer than three years. And though Cube feels that Pusha might’ve gone too far in “The Story of Adidon,” he doesn’t think he himself violated anyone in his own classic diss record “No Vaseline.” “I went in but I didn’t go too far… I didn’t really speak on families and kids and mamas and daddies. I kept it personal but contained, and I didn’t start it, so…” Check out the interview below and let us know if you think Cube has a point.

Say No To iPhones: Apple’s New Health Initiative To Address Device Addiction

Source: Chesnot / Getty Now Apple wants us to use our phones less. After major shareholders criticized the addictive nature of the devices, Apple is announcing a new program that will (allegedly) curb everyone’s smartphone dependence. A letter from investors who own about $2 billion in Apple shares read, “There is a growing body of evidence that, for at least some of the most frequent young users, this may be having unintentional negative consequences.” At #WWDC , Apple plans to unveil its Digital Health initiative to address device addiction https://t.co/DwYzh30Sp7 #tictocnews pic.twitter.com/Fv5wqw425z — TicToc by Bloomberg (@tictoc) June 1, 2018 The letter from the Jana Partners LLC and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System also requested that Apple research how smartphone use can influence mental health issues. Bloomberg reports: Apple engineers have been working on an initiative dubbed Digital Health, a series of tools to help users monitor how much time they spend on their devices and inside of certain applications. These details will be bundled into a menu inside of the Settings app in iOS 12, the likely name of Apple’s refreshed mobile operating system, according to people familiar with the plans. Former Apple exec Tony Gadell said, “We need to have tools and data to allow us to understand how we consume digital media… We need to get finer-grain language and start to understand that an iPhone is just a refrigerator, it’s not the addiction.”

Officer Litty: You Can Tell By This Cop’s Dance Moves That He Washes And Seasons His Chicken

Just like Columbus cop, Officer AJ , who took the stage at Summer 614 Concert and showed off his best “Shoot” dance moves.

But a lot.   But as far as dancing goes — the folks you’d least expect are the ones with the moves.   And we ain’t mad.

Carlos Santana Isn’t The First To Turn The National Anthem Into A Guitar Stroking Rock Song

Hendrix openly condemned that American soldiers were deploying napalm against civilians in Vietnam and used the guitar and the washed up anthem to express his frustration. When asked about his opinon on police, Jimi once said: “The world is nothing but a big gimmick, isn’t it? Napalm bombs, people getting burned up on TV. American cops? Oh man, it’s really great, man, they’ve got some really groovy uniforms, stripes down their pants. Clubs in their pockets—wow, outta sight. Guns!”   Nearly 50 years later and Colin Kaepernick still has to protest the same song.   But anyway, congrats to Carlos Santana and thanks for showing a whole new generation of kids what swagged out anthem would sound like. via GIPHY

LeBron walks off the podium after an exchange with a reporter about JR Smith, tells him to “be better tomorrow” pic.twitter.com/Fq8wezSuFT — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) June 1, 2018 LeBron James scored 51 against the Golden State Warriors last night, but his solo efforts weren’t enough for the Cleveland Cavaliers to take Game 1 of the NBA Finals in the end. If you were tuned in, you know one of the major issues was the fact that  J.R. Smith barely knew where he was. Up top, LeBron responds to his teammate’s (hilarious) failure to show up on the basketball court and some super funny reactions to all the Game 1 drama on the flip, plus J.R. Smith’s response.

Source: Erika Goldring / Getty While hypebeasts and much of the pop world will have their attention trained on Kanye West’s latest album ye , Black Thought just released a project that could garner the same level of interest. The longtime Roots frontman released his first ever solo project Streams Of Thought Vol. 1 , with production from 9th Wonder and some powerful features from Rapsody and Styles P. At just five songs, the EP promises to the be the first of projects from the Philadelphia wordsmith. Opening with the blistering and soulful “TwoFifteen,” Black Thought goes on a 3-minute lyrical face-melting display and even pays homage in a dope nod to his hometown brethren Freeway. “9th Vs. Thought” is a classic head-nod-inducing banger from 9th and Black Thought once more showing and proving that at the age of 46 that he is still very much a potent lyricist. “Dostoyevsky” features the extremely talented Rapsody on the verse help out and if you know her music then you already know the bars were legendary. Another track, “Making Of A Murderer” was previously released in 2016, but still sounds quite current and Styles P of The Lox stood his ground with his veteran counterpart. Twitter fans have reacted in kind and you can catch those tweets on the flip. Below, check out the stream of Black Thought’s Streams Of Thought Vol. 1 .

SMH: Rapper RiFF RAFF Accused Of Drugging And Raping Teenager, “I Crawled On All Fours Out The Hotel Room”

(Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for dcp) RiFF RAFF Accused Of Rape Braided up caucasian rap act RiFF RAFF has been accused of a serious crime from an Australian woman who claims he raped her in 2013. Eliza Stafford alleged in a Facebook post that the RiFF RAFF requested she come backstage and then handed her a double shot from a “vodka” bottle. Well, it wasn’t vodka. The syrup Eliza allegedly ingested skews her memory, but she says what happened next left her ‘crawling out of a hotel room on all fours.’ In 2013 I was raped by a man whose stage name is “Riff Raff”. I went to his show because my boyfriend at the time was a huge fan. My boyfriend was with me at the concert. I was asked mid-show to come backstage, and as a 19 year old I was flattered and complied. When I got backstage I was offered a shot from a (branded) vodka bottle that was sitting on the table. I was offered a 60ml ‘party’ shot. I took the shot, it was syrup and I immediately asked what it was. Riff raff and his support act told me that it was codeine and started laughing. I don’t remember anything from that point. A couple of my friends were at the concert and when I didn’t come outside from backstage, asked what had happened. Another girl who had been backstage with me told them that I had been coerced to get in to a car with riff raff and his support act. She didn’t do anything. I had been actively fighting against them as she watched and they had eventually forced me in to a car. She told my friends this, we were all young and they didn’t tell anyone and I don’t blame them. I woke up as Riff raff was pulling out of me and getting in to the shower. I crawled – truly, on all fours -out of the hotel room and managed to get outside where I booked a taxi who wouldn’t take me because I was “too drunk”. I begged him to take me home, got back to my boyfriends house, and he was angry at me for “blowing him off”. I was punished for 6 months within that relationship for what “I did”. I was raped and blamed myself for 5 years. I got a notification today because I work at in Richmond, and he is performing at the corner hotel next Friday night. I will be 50 metres from my rapist all night. About 6 months ago, I contacted my friends who were there to ask how much they remembered. They remember everything, we were children and didn’t know how to respond. If you are planning on attending the riff raff show at the corner next week I urge you to reconsider. After news of Eliza’s allegation spread, Audiopaxx, an Australian music managing company announced that RiFF RAFF’s tour would be totally tossed. TOUR UPDATE: we have been made aware of allegations made against Houston rapper Riff Raff. Audiopaxx takes these matters seriously and does not condone any of this alleged behaviour. In light of this, we have spoken to his management team and the scheduled tour of Australia and New Zealand has been cancelled, effective immediately. No charges against RiFF RAFF have reportedly been made. Insane.
