  As each day passes after Prince‘s death, more people are coming forward with secret information on the iconic musician. The latest is The Game who claims that he almost got a Prince feature some years back. In a street side interview with TMZ, the Compton rapper says that Prince was down to do a song with him at one point, but that he refused to jump on the track because Game used profanity. Actually, just one curse word. The Game tells TMZ : “I wanted [Prince] to get on a song and he was down to do the song, right. So we met at Doug Morris’ office at Universal [Records] a few years back. He heard the song and there was one curse word in it and he was like, ‘I can’t get on that, it has a curse word in it.’… Prince became a Jehovah’s Witness and he cut out...

  » by jade Apr 25 2016, 5:02pm Share This Tweet This Email This On April 19 at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, DJ Khaled appeared on Elliott Wilson’s live interview CRWN series. It was the first time the series will air on MTV2 and Khaled was a perfect subject for its television debut. The Miami DJ immediately walked on stage Snapchatting the audience and capturing the energy of everyone in the crowd before delving into talking his success on the social media platform. According to  Bloomberg , DJ Khaled has a bigger millennial audience than the Big Bang Theory, TV’s #1 show. Each of Khaled’s videos can attract anywhere from 3 to 4 million viewers. During the interview, Khaled discussed how he realized that Snapchat connects him with his fans outside of his videos and the songs he produces on the regular. He believes that “LOVE”...

  Rick Ross has become masterful at trolling. Renzel sent Charlamagne Tha God six case of his Luc Belaire champagne.  The gift was in response to Birdman coming up to The Breakfast Club and demanding all “tree” hosts put “respeck” on his name , only to have Charlamagne ask why he was pulling up on the “radio guy.” Also, Tha God asked him why he didn’t pull up on Rick Ross and Trick Daddy, who both called the Cash Money’s rapper’s business moves to task during their own interviews on the show, only to have Baby and his entourage leave out in a huff. That said, Charlamagne got six cases of Belaire (three of Rose and three of Brut) this morning (April 25) delivered to him from Rick Ross. Also, Birdman apologized for his struggle , but it was “coolly” received. — Photo: Instagram Comments: 0 Tags: rick...

  X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters in May, but we have the final trailer, for now, until you’ll be able to see the big screen action. While plenty of mutants abound in the new footage, the old man known as Logan is the sweet surprise.  As for the movie, Apocalypse is back and recruiting powerful mutants for his Horsemen clique which is apparently enough incentive to put Mystique on the side of the good guys. Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible.

  The Dub Nation has cause to worry, at least a little. After an MRI on his sprained knee, Steph Curry will sit out the next two weeks of the playoffs the Golden State Warriors announced today.   According to the Warriors, the MRI revealed a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks to determine if he is able to return to the court at that time. “Thanks 4 all the prayers & messages. Can feel all the positive energy. God is Great! All things considered I’m Gonna be alright!,” said Curry in a message to fans via Twitter shortly after the Warriors made the announcement. After coming back from an ankle sprain that made him miss the third game in the first round NBA Playoffs series against the Houston Rockets, Curry went down with the knee injury after slipping at the end...

  » by Omar Mazariego Apr 25 2016, 3:15pm Share This Tweet This Email This Something that people can expect after a well-known musician dies is the release of unreleased material (see Born Again, Better Dayz, etc). When Prince passed away it was reported that the man who was the embodiment of musical genius had dozens of albums worth of unreleased material locked away, and this weekend fans were treated to one that they would’ve never seen coming. Back in 1989 Prince recorded an entire soundtrack for Tim Burton’s Batman film and it seems like one of the songs that ended up on the cutting room floor was a Big Daddy Kane featured remix to “Batdance.” The song was one of the soundtrack’s lead singles so a remix with Big Daddy Kane would’ve definitely made some noise. And for those who aren’t familiar with Big Daddy Kane, he was to...

  The music world suffered yet another untimely blow as Philadelphia R&B and Soul legend Billy Paul died over the weekend. Paul, who enjoyed a series of highs and lows in his long career, was 81 at the time of his passing. Paul was born Paul Williams on Dec. 1, 1934 and raised primarily in North Philadelphia, and was influenced by female jazz greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn among several others. Paul’s career began when he was just 11 years old, which is when he began his classical vocal training at the West Philadelphia School of Music and the Granoff School of Music. Before long, and after taking the stage name Billy Paul, he began signing with some of his favorites across his hometown. In the early 50’s, Paul began recording music and was well on his way to becoming a full-time recording artist when he...
