Does Making Good Music Excuse Your Problematic Past?

Yesterday I found out that XXXTentacion died and I immediately was like It honestly was surreal because I actually remember the first time I heard "Look At Me." I was obsessed with that song and even turned other people on to it and X himself. I'm the type of person that as soon as I like a new song or artist I go all Inspector Gadget and try to find out everything about them (I'm a Virgo leave me alone). Anyway what I found was fight compilations, interviews of him saying he tried to kill his cellmate for staring at him believing that he was gay, oh and the pictures of the woman he abused. From there I was on the fence about X and wasn't as invested as I was initially. He was still incarcerated and didn't have any other music out. Since then he released two projects and I can't lie I listened to both of them. One, because I was bored and two, I was reviewing one of them for The Northerner. But honestly, he makes good music. None of the music he made...

Best Day Ever...Eh Not Quite: Mac Miller Arrested for DUI & Hit-and-Run

According to  TMZ , the "Dang!" rapper was arrested this morning for a DUI and hit-and-run in the San Fernando Valley. Around 1 A.M, Mac Miller and his friends were driving drunk, hit a pole, and knocked it down. Mac and both of his passengers got out of the car and ran on foot back to Mac's place. A witness led the police to their direction and after running the plates on the "Donald Trump" rapper's 2016 G-Wagon they got Mac's address. After arriving to Mac's house he didn't hesitate to turn himself in and admit to his recklessness. A law enforcement source even says "He was the most polite and nice intoxicated person we've ever seen." His bail is set at $15k and he is still currently behind bars. Luckily nobody got hurt but that was a pretty careless thing to do. Driving under the influence of ANYTHING is NEVER okay. Mac should be counting his blessings that the only thing that possibly was damaged was his vehicle. I ...

Twenty88's and Heartbreaks: Did Big Sean Cheat on Jhene Aiko?

Rumors are swirling that Big Sean is cheating on the "Sativa" singer with former Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger. According to  The Jasmine Brand : "They both attended an Oscar Awards after-party together and were cozied up together sitting at a table in VIP... They were all over each other and they looked really comfortable around each other. They looked like they were a couple." No cameras were allowed a the event and a source says that someone told Jhene about Big Sean and Nicole being together and she was furious.  "She was pissed, she confronted him about it and he didn't really deny it." How awkward for Jhene to have Big Sean tatted on her arm (HIS WHOLE FACE, GIRL) only to find out that he had been unfaithful. After this incident Jhene has unfollowed him on Instagram. Thus making everyone believe that there was some truth to the rumors. Everyone took to Twitter to give their thoughts on the matter.  Jhene Aiko scrub...

Lil Kodak They Don't Wanna See You Winning, So You Plead Not Guilty Instead: Kodak Black Pleads Not Guilty to Home Raid Charges

Kodak Black has plead not guilty for possession of ammunition and marijuana from his January arrest. On February 22nd the "Tunnel Vision" rapper had his charges of possession of a weapon or ammunition by a delinquent, child neglect, and grand theft of a firearm dropped. All of these charges stem from an arrest made on January 18th when the sherrif's office raided Kodak's home. The video shows people smoking weed and having handguns around Kodak's son who is a toddler. Kodak is currently being held without bond and seems to be optimistic about his situation. Just yesterday the rapper's Twitter account tweeted: Gods Plan 🙏🏿 — Kodak Black (@KodakBlack1k) February 27, 2018 Kodak must have the best lawyer in the country because this man has been arrested for sexual assault and got off scot free. I like his music but that case left a bad taste in my mouth of him. Now that he's been accused of putting his son in danger I think there needs to be some...

Looks Like 6IX9INE Got Hit With The Stiffy Huh? Tekashi 6IX9INE Gets Into a Fight at LAX

Pedophile  Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was caught in the middle of a scuffle at the LAX airport. The video shows one man coming at Tekashi's crew looking for a fight and they got into it. In the beginning Tekashi seemed to be walking away from the altercation at first, but then came back to "defend" his friends. Turns out he got tripped up and jumped while on the ground. It's funny, there were only 2 people against Tekashi's squad and they washed them. Here is the video of Tekashi getting jumped: Tekashi 6ix9ine got jumped at the airport.

My Award Show Just Vent Viral: The BET Social Awards Rundown

The BET Social Awards  premiered last night and I honestly did not know they were coming on. I only seen the nominees on Twitter I didn't even know when the award show was going to premiere.  I accidentally stumbled upon them because I was watching Kevin Hart's Grown Little Man  comedy special on BET and it came on right after. Just five minutes in and BET was already having technical difficulties. So much glitching that I was starting to think that there was something wrong with my cable box. The show started off with a cute dance number that honestly could've been left at home. Michael Blackson was the host and for a social media award show I expected someone who came up through social media to host it. Names like DC Young Fly and Khadi Don were thrown around for hosting and I wish BET would've capitalized on that opportunity. The show had three performances. Amanda Seales did a spoken word routine called "Black Girl Magic" and I was really impress...

2 Legit to Acquit: Troy Ave Disses Taxstone & Confirms He's Tesifying Against Him

The Troy Ave v. Taxstone saga continues. Troy just released the music video for his song "2 Legit 2 Quit" where he reveals he's testifying against hip-hop personality and podcaster, Taxstone. The line says "I'm only loyal to my fam/Middle finger from the stand/It's either me or you." Taxstone has been locked up since January 2017 for the murder of Troy Ave's bodyguard, Ronald "Banga" McPhatter.  Hear the infamous line below: Many took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the diss and Troy Ave: Troy Ave deleted his tweet?! pic.twitter.com/EAA2D4W6nv — ExSavior (@CharlesExSavior) February 1, 2018 Troy Ave is a rapper.... Y'all holding him to standards y'all shouldn't be holding him to... Stop believing these rappers, they're ALL liars. Never forget, Big Sean made a song called "Ass".... His last two girlfriends are Ariana Grande and Jhene Aiko. — I grew up in the 90's..... (@SeanTh...

Every Interview I Fall Apart: Post Malone Says It's a Struggle Being a White Rapper

In an interview with GQ , the "White Iverson" rapper was asked "Do you, Post Malone, ever feel anxious about working in a primarily black-identified genre of music?" Post responded by saying "I definitely feel like there's a struggle being a white rapper. But I don't want to be a rapper. I just want to be a person that makes music. I make music that I like and I think that kick ass, that I think the people who fuck with me as a person and as an artist will like." This is all coming from a rapper who just had a #1 hit with his recent single "Rockstar." Malone also cracked into the Billboard Top 10 Country chart with his song "Congratulations" (which I didn't even know was a country song but alright). It seems like being a white rapper is doing wonders for him at the moment.  This story isn't anything new. We've heard it with Macklemore, Iggy Azalea, and now Post. The white rapper blues. First you get a number one ...

You Better Call Tyrone & Have Him Come Get You Out of This Mess: Erykah Badu Under Fire for Humanizing Hitler

During a recent interview with Vulture, Erykah Badu was asked if she can separate an artists' actions with their art. The examples used was XXXTENTACION and Bill Cosby, both who have a known past assaulting women. Badu went on to say that "hurt people hurt people" and questioned why she should be upset with someone who's sick [hurt]. Badu says that she weighs everything and that she has the skill to see the good and the bad. She prides herself on not being one to follow the crowd and is able to think for herself, even if it means upsetting others. All of that is fine and dandy until Badu said, "I'm a humanist. I see the good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler." This left the interviewer and readers at home going:  Did Erykah Badu really just try to humanize Hitler? She even went on to say that he was a wonderful painter. The interviewer, David Marchese, was not going to let Ms. Badu get away with that statement. He quickly clapped bac...

From "Get Up" to "#LevelUp" Ciara Causes Controversy With Recent Twitter Video

Ciara one-two-stepped her way into a twitter catastrophe when she tweeted this video of Pastor John Gray preaching a sermon about how women need to stop acting like girlfriends while expecting to be wives. Her caption "#LevelUp" stirred some controversy on the timeline. #LevelUp pic.twitter.com/rmS0WMOV1B — Ciara (@ciara) January 20, 2018 Those who agreed with Ciara's message believe that if it's acceptable to talk about being promiscuous then it should be okay to talk about being married: I don't disagree with Ciara, the message I took from it was know your worth & don't settle which is empowering BUT you can emphasise what women need to do all day, if the same isn't reinforced to men what's the point. — GHANA'S FINEST (@Ghanasfinestx) January 22, 2018 So Ciara is getting backlash for for saying carry yourself as a wife!? But when someone says embrace your inner hoe it’s all cool and the gang?? Copy!! — Qīus (@quis...

"I'm Not Homophobic No More" Offset Responds to Accusation of Homophobia

Offset of Migos made headlines today for doing something besides being unfaithful to Cardi B. I know right?! I'm shocked too. Unfortunately he has our attention because his verse on YFN Lucci's "Boss Life" was homophobic. The line verbatim is "I cannot vibe with queers." Really Offset??? In 2018 we're really saying spewing homophobic language so openly. Fast forward the video below to 0:23 seconds and check it out: I swear Offset murders every feature that he is on pic.twitter.com/LjLNqNIxDI — WSHH DAILY (@WSHHDAILYMUSIC) January 17, 2018 Offset went from "Boss Life" to "Fight Night" mode to defend himself against the backlash he received on Twitter. Here are his statements below: It's hard to take this statement seriously when there are multiple grammar errors. Offset should've released a professional statement before posting this on his Instagram. If he wanted to talk about stalkers there ...

POWER (spoilers)

I know what you're thinking "You're just now watching Power?" "You're late Power been off for a minute" "blah, blah, blah" I know, I know. I've been hearing about Power for a minute but never watched it because to be honest I wasn't interested. None of my close friends watched it so I just shrugged it off...at least I tried to. Every Sunday on social media my timelines would be flooded with posts from Power. I would try my best to avoid them yet it seems like no matter what social media site I was on it was always there.  This past week my TRIO Advisor, Ms. Lori, was talking to me and my friend Matt about Power. I remember watching an episode and a half around Labor Day but didn't finish because I was focused on completing my assignment. With the upcoming 4-day break I decided that now was my chance to finally watch Power and see what all the hype is about. Luckily for me the first three seasons are on Hulu (shoutout to S...
