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...

"Boy, You Know You Need to Start Listening to Megan" Artist Spotlight: Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion is the hottest female rapper coming from Houston. The 22-year-old rapstress first got my attention with this hot freestyle I seen on tumblr. That was only the beginning. Megan continued to post freestyles over your favorite songs that are so good you question why you haven't listened to her sooner. Her style is a mix of sex positive bars and a confidence like no other. What makes the college educated rapper stand out is that she has the looks and the bars. Her lyricism is out of this world. She is really putting on for her city and is a force to be reckoned with in the rap game. Her first EP "Make It Hot" dropped last September and she just now started filming a vlog on YouTube called "Hotties World." Her recent endeavor has been being featured on Spotify's Rap Caviar playlist spitting her freestyle for #WomensHistoryMonth. Megan @theestallion kicks off #WomensHistoryMonth with our first FLOW freestyle of the week. Watch...

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....

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 ...

"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 ...
