#Drake Ties R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart Record

Ten of the songs are off of his latest offering, "If You're Reading This Its Too Late."
A record-tying 14 of Drake's titles have charted onBillboard's Hot R&B/Hip Hop songs list. Ten of the songs are off of his latest offering If Your Reading This Its Too Late, which is the #1 album in the country.
He initially set the record for the most concurrently charting songs in 2013 with the release of Nothing Was The Same.
Some of Drake's collaborations rank the highest on the list. His songs with Nicki Minaj, "Only" and "Truffle Butter," are the most successful releases on the chart at #4 and #6, respectively. They're followed by "Tuesday," featuring iLoveMakonnen, and his Big Sean ballad, "Blessings."
According to Nielsen Music, "Energy" has sold 63,000 digital downloads, which is more than twice as many as the next highest track from IYRTITL. "Preach" has 30,000 digital downloads for the week ending February 15.
Check out all 14 songs that are currently on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart:

#VanillaIce Lied About Claiming To Own Burglarized Home, According To Police :::: #InTheNews

The rapper and television show host reportedly claimed to be the owner of the burglarized residence before a police investigation proved this to be false.
After news broke two days ago that Vanilla Ice had been arrested and charged with burglary and grand theft after allegedly stealing furniture, among other items, from a vacant home in Lantana, Florida, theNew York Daily News reports that the rapper claimed for months to be the owner of the aforementioned residence.
The publication also quoted the artist — whose given name is Robert Van Winkle — as saying the situation was "a misunderstanding" and that it has been "blown out of proportion." He continued by saying, "It'll all get cleared up, you'll see.”

#Jay-Z Hit With Paternity Suit ::: #IntheNews

Jay-Z has been hit with a paternity suit by 21-year old Rymir Satterthwait, an aspiring rapper from New Jersey by way of Philadelphia, whose mother Wanda allegedly had an affair with Jay-Z back in the 90s. The case was filed in New Jersey family court last December, but was dismissed after Jay-Z's lawyers claimed that he did not live in New Jersey. Now, a paralegal who has filed the case in civil court on Satterthwait's behalf (also his legal guardian) says Jay-Z's lawyers claim was fraudulent.
This isn't the first time Jay-Z has been accused of fathering a love child. Back in 2011, Shenelle Scott claimed he was the baby daddy of her 13 year old. Back then, reps for the rapper called the rumors “ridiculous.”
There has been no official statement from the Jay-Z camp on this particular lawsuit. Because the story originated with The National Enquirer, there will probably be no response. But Satterthwait's photo has been making its round on the internet, and he bares a striking resemblance to Jay-Z. The Enquirer talked to a plastic surgeon, who analyzed the photo of Rymir and Jay-Z and said they had similar features. “Their facial structures appear very similar. It could be a sign of inheritance,” says Dr. Anthony Youn.
Still, there is obviously a chance that this could be frivolous. Only a paternity test time will tell.

Just over two months after news broke that he was suing DJ Mustard over unpaid royalties and for not being credited on songs like Tyga's "Rack City," producer Mike Free opened up to HipHopDX about his plans to establish his own company, 4th Quarter Entertainment, on different terms.
"It makes me wanna change," Mike Free said in a clip that debuted as a part of today's DX Daily. "I wanna help others get on and get into the same position as me. I feel like everybody has a dream. Everybody has a heartbeat. Everybody wakes up everyday. Whose to say that you can't get your portion of the credit? I definitely want every producer and writer that I sign to my company to feel comfortable and feel motivated, [not] like they're being discredited or not compensated fairly. I've never been a greedy type of guy. Money is nothing to me. I just had a son, I just wanna make sure that he gets those values, just understand you gotta be fair if you want people to work hard everyday you gotta be fair."

Trina Recalls Being A Dancer, Appearing On Trick Daddy's "Nann Nigga"


Trina says she was a dancer at "a cabaret spot" for about a week.
Among one of the first songs Miami, Florida rapstressTrina appeared on was Trick Daddy’s 1998 record, “Nann Nigga.” During an interview with Vlad TV, Trina detailed the moment Trick approached her about appearing on the www.thug.com record.
According to Trina, she was just out of real estate school and about to take part in her first few showings when she was approached by Trick about adding her vocals to one of his records. Hesitant at first, the South Floridian revealed that when she had the opportunity to hear the record for the first time in the studio, it was “out of control.”
She later clarified that she wrote the majority of her portion of the song, with Trick Daddy offering his assistance here and there.
“Before I did the record with Trick, I just had finished real estate school,” Trina said. “I was about to do real estate. It’s something that I just liked a lot and I went to school for it. I had got a little job at this little real estate company, ERE…Right before I was about to show a few properties, Trick called and asked me to do a record for him. And I was like ‘What does he mean do a record?’ It was not more so ‘Come and be a rapper.’ It was more like ‘I need you to just talk the talk. Just be fierce. Talk trash. Really dominate me on the record. Because it’s a female versus a male type of situation.’ And I honestly thought he was kind of nuts, but I was like ‘Okay, I’ll think about it.’ And then the next day…he called. And he was like ‘Come by the studio. I’m gonna cook.’ And you know, Trick’s a great cook. So, we all went over and went to the studio. And when I heard the record I was like ‘Woah, this is like out of control.’ It was just so raw.”
Later in the interview, Trina spoke on her brief stint as a dancer. She explained that she was fresh out of high school when she started working at “a cabaret spot.”

#KANYEWEST CLAIMS VOICES IN HIS HEAD MADE HIM GET ON STAGE AT THE GRAMMYS?! :::: #IntheNews


5112m1

Kanye West has revealed the “voices in my head” urged him to take the stage at the Grammy Awards on Sunday and protest rocker Beck’s Album of the Year win.
The rapper appeared ready to interrupt the surprised Loser singer’s acceptance speech – just like he did at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 when Taylor Swift beat Beyonce to the Female Video of the Year crown – but he reconsidered and simply smiled before returning to his seat.
Now, talking about the incident to Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest, West says, “I felt like just the whole Grammys, right when that happened, everybody was looking at me and then people started screaming, ‘Kanye! Kanye! Go do it!’ OK, that didn’t really happen, these were voices in my head. So the voices in my head told me (to) go and then I just walked up, like, halfway up the stage.

Rapper Missy Elliott is back in the studio with longtime collaborator Timberland less than two weeks after she stepped back into the spotlight, following a lengthy hiatus, at the Super Bowl.
The Work It hitmaker’s not-so surprise performance alongside half-time show headline Katy Perry was a big hit and the warm reception she received appears to have inspired her to get back to making music.
Posting a photo of herself in the studio with Timbaland on Twitter on Tuesday, Elliott wrote, “Me & @Timbaland bk (back) 2 the drawing board studio dirty beats.”
Missy’s last full album, The Cookbook, was released in July, 2005.

Rapper-turned-reality TV star Benzino has been arrested for the second time in less than a month after police busted him for possession of marijuana and driving with a suspended licence on Wednesday.
The former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta regular was stopped by cops in Atlanta, Georgia for failing to wear a seat belt, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.com.
Upon further inspection, the officers allegedly found a stash of pot inside his car, and also discovered the rapper had been driving on a suspended licence.
Benzino, real name Raymond Scott, was taken into custody, with bail set at $2,269.
The arrest comes weeks after he was held at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on 27 January after staff spotted a loaded gun in his laptop bag as he went through a security checkpoint.
Benzino was escorted to a local jail and booked for the weapons charge, and then released on $3,000 bail.
He later spoke out about the incident, claiming it was an “honest mistake” and he simply forgot to remove the firearm that he carries for self-defence.

#DRAKE TELLS US IF YOU’RE READING THIS IT’S TOO LATE



It was just yesterday that Drake shared a new intimate short film, Jungle, in which he ponders the price of fame and fortune, shows his Toronto roots and seemingly makes the statement that even when he goes back home, see's his friends and tries to relax, he still can't distract himself from the craziness that consumes his life. 
"Shit's just crazy man, the whole energy out here is just changing, you know. It's just getting dark, man, quick," is one of the things he says in the short film.
Then today, BAM, new mixtape. Just like that. No warning, nothing. 
Drizzy broke the internet with 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late' simply by tweeting a direct link to it.
Coming as a pleasant suprise, we've all now got 17 new tracks to f*ck with, available on iTunes. 
Stream the mixtape here:

Actor Terrence Howard will welcome his fourth child in May, just three months after becoming a grandfather for the second time.
Empire star, 45, has finally confirmed long-running reports suggesting his wife Miranda is pregnant with the couple’s first child, and he admits this period of his life will be surreal as he watches his eldest kids become parents, while he deals with having a baby of his own in the house again.
During an interview on morning show Live with Kelly and Michael on Wednesday, he says, “My oldest daughter gave me a granddaughter two years ago and now I’ve got a grandson, Adrian… (who was born) a week ago. It’s something else to become (a grandfather), do your third generation (sic) and become a part of something bigger than yourself, and then my wife, we’re due in May, and I’m having another boy.”
Howard has three adult children, daughters Aubrey and Heaven and son Hunter, from his first marriage to Lori McCommas, who he divorced for a second time in 2007.
He was also married to Michelle Ghent for a year from 2010, before secretly tying the knot with model/restaurateur Miranda in late 2013.

9MileFest2015
The 9 Mile Music Festival began as a labor of love, pioneered by Cedella Marley Booker, taking place every year in Miami, Florida. Over the years the festival has had other names including “The Caribbean Music Festival” then evolved into what is the 9 Mile Music Festival today. Keeping in alignment with its namesake, the village of Nine Mile is the foundation and heart of our family. This reggae music festival is more than just your average “concert”; it has a commitment to doing good and spreading love. The 9 Mile Music Festival is responsible for collecting over two (2) million canned goods over its 22-year span. In an effort to continuously give back to its community, four canned goods are required for entry along with a purchased admission. The canned goods that are collected are then distributed to shelters in Miami & Jamaica.

#MarlinsPark Will Host The 2017 #MLB All-Star Game :::: #MLB

Philadelphia Phillies v Miami Marlins
Marlins Park will host the 2017 MLB All-Star Game.
Its crazy because Miami was awarded the 2000 All Star game but due to the 1997 offloading of the Marlins roster after the World Series win, the big wigs at MLB snatched back the privilege as punishment.
So July 2017 will be an interesting time for Marlins Park, receiving a major sporting event within 5 years or so of its grand opening.
Now, all we need is for the NBA to give us an All-Star game and Miami will be set.
