BREAKING


The urban-sphere is never short of big news topics so we've decided to make a new thread to discuss all the big stories currently making waves.

Not to be used for new music; any news on upcoming albums & singles should obviously be made into a new thread in the forum.

Chris Brown arrested and will spend "the next month in jail"

QUOTE
The star was jailed after getting kicked out of rehab, and thus violating his probation, for the second time.

It's unclear why, but the 24-year-old was booted from the Malibu rehab facility where he's been living for about four months, and sent directly to jail.

Mess. In rehab for anger management and not managing to see it through. His removal from there apparently has nothing to do with "violence and drugs" though which is a slight positive to take from it all. Could be spending a month in jail...

Drake and Rihanna Exclusively Dating

QUOTE
Rihanna has chosen Drake to be her first serious boyfriend since her last relationship with ex Chris Brown came to a sudden and tragic halt five years ago.

Older and wiser, Rihanna decided to take a "more mature" approach in advancing her relationship with Drake, and he agreed.

The now exclusive couple dated briefly in 2010 and has casually hooked up since then. RiRi and Drake won’t be taking any other big steps in their relationship anytime soon though.

“They’re not about to run and go get married. It’s not like that. They’re playing it safely and responsibly,” the source said.

QUOTE
He may have written the happiest song of the year, but Pharrell Williams was reduced to tears during his interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The Happy singer sat down with the talk show host for an upcoming episode of Oprah Prime on her OWN Network, and was moved by a video shown to him of people dancing to his chart-topping song.

‘Why am I crying on Oprah?’ Pharrell said through tears as he was overcome with emotion

‘It’s overwhelming because I love what I do and I just appreciate the fact that people have believed in me for so long that I could make it to this point, and feel, to feel that.’

With some encouraging words from Oprah, Pharrell, 41, was also shown some pictures from his childhood.

During the interview, Williams – wearing one of his many distinctive Vivienne Westwood hats - discussed his rise to fame, his song-writing process and the music that influenced him to become a seven-time Grammy winning recording artist and producer.

‘My best songs come from two different ways,’ he says. ‘Either when I have a really good gut feeling about something, it's written in the shower or on a plane.’

‘Shower's good, isn't it?’ Oprah says. ‘There's something about the water.’

‘The water attracts your ear,’ he says. ‘You get distracted, and your mind wanders.’

But for his Despicable Me 2 song, Pharrell called it a ‘crazy, half-court shot.’

‘It's not because you're that good,’ Williams says. ‘It's because you're out of ideas.'

The interview also saw Pharrell talk about his critically-acclaimed new album ‘G I R L’, and his wedding last year to model and designer Helen Lasichanh.

But over the weekend, he was in Indio, California to perform at Coachella 2014, where he reminded the audience of just how many hit songs he’s been behind.

P Coachella 1 by YardieGoalsHe brought out Nelly for Hot In Herre, Snoop Dogg for Drop It Like It’s Hot, Gwen Stefani for Hollaback Girl, and Busta Rhymes for Pass The Courvoisier.

Some of the tracks were produced by Williams and Chad Hugo who made up the record production duo The Neptunes.

But Pharrell wasn’t too happy with the dust and wind experienced at Coachella as he told the packed crowd, ‘I wanted this s*** to be so much hotter but the dust and this f***ing wind…,’ according to The Guardian.

Diddy needs to quit being an artist and let Cassie finally release her sophomore album (!!!) with the (obviously huge) promo campaign he will probably get for his project. Going by her mixtape last year it would probably get WAY more people interested and we'd be blessed with MUCH better material out of it.

Jay Z physically attacked by Solange Knowles

QUOTE
Jay Z was ferociously assaulted by Beyonce's sister Solange ... who was wildly kicking and swinging at him inside an elevator ... and the attack was captured on surveillance video ... obtained by TMZ.

According to our sources, it all went down at a Met Gala after party last week at the Standard Hotel in NYC. In the video ... Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange step into the elevator ... and then Solange goes crazy, screaming at Jay before unleashing a violent attack.

A large man -- who appears to be a bodyguard -- attempts to hold Solange back, but she manages to connect at least 3 times. At one point Solange throws a kick and Jay grabs her foot, but never attempts to strike her. Beyonce stands by without getting physically involved.

It's unclear what triggered the fight.

And this is interesting. When you look closely, you see the bodyguard hit the emergency stop switch on the 12th floor -- mid fight -- presumably to keep the fight private.

All three walked out of the building together -- Solange looks pissed -- but while Bey and Solange get in one car ... security walks Jay to a different one.

Basically Solange wanted to open for Jay & Beyonce's joint tour. But Jay Z was like 'hellll no! you don't even got no hits bitch'. Then she went all kung fu on his ass.

That's my theory anyway! laugh.gif

Although Lil Wayne is supposed to be dropping Tha Carter V on December 9, there’s little momentum around the album. The project has already been delayed, and now Weezy says that Cash Money won’t be releasing it at all.

And, he wants off the label, immediately.

In a string of tweets on Wednesday (Dec. 4), Wayne opened Pandora’s Box. He told fans, bluntly, that things have gone sour between him and Birdman and his longtime label.


Wow. Cash Money is a mess right now. Tyga and Nicki has also been complaining about them delaying albums and forcing them to do certain things too.

A$AP Yams dies, aged 26

QUOTE
The hip-hop world is mourning the death of A$AP Yams, one of the founding members of the Harlem-based collective A$AP Mob.

"Always strive and prosper. RIP Yams," said a post Sunday on the group's official Facebook page with a black-and-white photo of Yams, whose real name is Steven Rodriguez.

"We bugged out on New Years, I didn't know that would be the last time Seeing my brother," A$AP Ferg, one of the stars who emerged from the A$AP collective, wrote in a post on Instagram. "R.i.P bro. We all love and Miss you."

The group's record company, RCA Records, said it was "shocked and saddened to hear of the death of A$AP Yams," according to a statement reported by Rolling Stone.

"As one of the creative forces behind A$AP Worldwide, Yams' vision, humor and dedication to the members of A$AP Mob will always be remembered," the statement said.

Lil Wayne still wants to leave Cash Money and he now wants Drake and Nicki to also leave the label with him.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/6451028/lil-wayne-cash-money-drake-nicki-minaj-leave

QUOTE
Lil Wayne's feud with Birdman is getting serious.

On top of reportedly planning to sue Birdman in order to be released from his contract -- and claims that he's owed an $8 million advance for the yet-to-be released Tha Carter V -- Weezy is demanding he leaves Cash Money Records with all Young Money Entertainment artists.

According to TMZ, Lil Wayne plans to keep Young Money artists under his label, seeing that they're under contract. That includes Drake, Nicki Minaj, Christina Milian, Lil Twist and Mack Maine.

A possible setback in Lil Wayne's plan may be that the Young Money artists have distribution deals with Cash Money, which may have to be resolved in court. Also, Birdman has played a big role in the majority, if not all, of the Young Money artists careers.

"I've gotten so much closer to Wayne lately. Wayne is his own person. He's a businessman and whatever decision Wayne makes, I would never in my life speak against it publicly... even if I didn't agree," Nicki Minaj told Power 106 LA in December, when speaking on Lil Wayne and Birdman's beef. "Baby has always been one of my best friends in the game. And I know that they love each other; that's family."

A representative for Lil Wayne did not respond to request for comment at time of press.


What a mess for Cash Money!

Skeme has admitted that he was involved in the creation of Iggy Azalea's hit 'Fancy'.

The Inglewood rapper was questioned by Sirius XM about rumours he penned the track.

Skeme was reluctant to expand on the extent of his involvement in the track, but admitted: "We had something to do with it, a lot of vibe, a lot of push."

The rapper added that he didn't write the Charli XCX-penned chorus, saying: "Nah, that's the part I didn't have anything to do with."

Skeme since seems to have responded to the reports on Twitter, writing: "Sis def does her thing on her own."

A$AP Rocky opens up about his ex Iggy Azalea

QUOTE
“It comes with the game,” he said. “If she fake on something, somebody is going to call her bluff. That’s life. I’m not looking at it from a standpoint of, ‘I used to be boning this chick’s back out.’ I’m looking at it [as], ‘She’s just a person.’ You can’t bluff. You gotta just be 100. That’s all I could really say. The question is: Was she not being 100 about something?”

“She’ll be fine. It gets to a point where people start accepting so much mediocre shit—accepting the minimum and the typical—to the point where everything gets so oversaturated that people don’t have a choice but to go back to the original, hardcore, raw [art]. Everything raw. Every aspect of art. It changes and it makes shifts.”

Ragga Artist Tenor Fly Has Died
Legendary MC passes away...
ROBIN MURRAY NEWS 19 · 06 · 2016

Legendary British MC and vocalist Tenor Fly has passed away.

The artist was perhaps most closely associated with the ragga and jungle movements, helping to broaden the language of both with his imagination and spiritual depth.

The MC would, however, spray over any rhythm that came his way, working with everything from roots reggae and dancehall through to ruffneck drum 'n' bass.

The passing of Tenor Fly has come as an enormous shock to the UK bass community, with countless artists paying their respects.

London label Nice Up! Records seem to sum up the MC's life and work better than anyone else:

Without a doubt one of the legends of the soundsystem scene here in the UK and a talent that spread across the world. From dancehall, reggae and hip hop to jungle, his style and influence cannot be understated - an original roughneck rudeboy. Not only a consummate artist and performer, but a genuinely nice guy too. We don't use the term "legend" lightly.

Trey Songz gets arrested after his set is cut short

Trey Songz has been arrested after reportedly throwing equipment off a stage when he was asked to end a show in Detroit.

According to some people in the crowd, the singer said he would "go crazy" if his microphone was turned off.

Police said he became "upset and belligerent" when he was asked to leave the stage after his set ran over its allotted time.

He was charged with aggravated assault and assaulting a police officer.

The 32-year-old, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, reportedly threw microphones and speakers into the audience at Big Show at the Joe, which also featured Chris Brown and Desiigner on the line-up.

Detroit police added someone in the crowd was reportedly hit in the head by an object and that an officer was punched.

A video from the concert seemingly shows the singer telling the crowd he's been told his microphone will be turned off and encouraging them to tweet about it if it happens.

Another clip appears to show him knocking over instruments.

Neaira Williams, who was in the crowd, told the Press Association: "His performance was so entertaining that I don't believe anyone realised that he went over his time.

"He warned the audio crew that if they turned off his mic then he would go crazy... and then instruments started flying and he jumped into the crowd."

The singer was released after paying bail and is due to appear in court on 5 January.

I'd say Stefflon Don would count as 'emerging and upcoming talent' at the moment really.
If anything, Eminem should be taken out of that though because it makes it look a bit dated :') Maybe someone like Drake, Future, Tinashe, SZA etc would be a better fit.

8 months isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, I don't think it'll affect him that much (although his mainstream relevance seems to have been on a downward trend anyway with his new EP thing this year not producing any top 40 hits).

QUOTE
Along with the social-change efforts announced by its parent company Universal Music Group earlier this week, Republic Records has announced its own campaign — one aspect of which is that the company will cease to use the term “urban” to describe black music.

“ ‘Urban’ is rooted in the historical evolution of terms that sought to define Black music,” the memo reads. “As with a lot of our history, the original connotation of the term urban was not deemed negative. Nearly 50 years ago Frankie Crocker coined the term ‘urban’ to define the sound of his radio station in an attempt to better represent his audience.

“However, over time the meaning and connotations of ‘urban’ have shifted and it developed into a generalization of Black people in many sectors of the music industry, including employees and music by Black artists. While this change will not and does not affect any of our staff structurally, it will remove the use of this antiquated term.”

“We encourage the rest of the music industry to consider following suit as it is important to shape the future of what we want it to look like,” it concludes, “as to not adhere to the outdated structures of the past.”

American supermodel Emily Ratajkowski has alleged she was sexually assaulted on the set of the music video for the hit song Blurred Lines.

In her upcoming book, the 30-year-old accuses singer Robin Thicke of groping her without consent during filming of the 2013 video.

Thicke, 44, has not yet responded to the BBC's request for comment.

The allegations, first reported in the Sunday Times newspaper, feature in Ratajkowski's forthcoming book My Body.

The 30-year-old claims Thicke "returned to the set a little drunk to shoot just with me".

"Out of nowhere, I felt the coolness and foreignness of a stranger's hands cupping my bare breasts from behind. I instinctively moved away, looking back at Robin Thicke," she writes.

The model said she felt "humiliation pump through [her] body".

8 people have died at a Travis Scott concert from overcrowding/being trampled. sad.gif

apparently he refused to stop performing too when shit was going down.

Yikes. This has been really heartbreaking to read about, RIP to the victims sad.gif

It seems to have been a poorly planned festival (security and medical staff seem to have been woefully unprepared from what I have read) so there are a lot of questions that need to be answered by a lot of people here, it's not a good look for Travis himself as he has a history of encouraging rowdy behaviour at his concerts (not suggesting for a second that he wanted people to die or anything but something like this was bound to happen eventually) and it definitely looks like he had plenty of opportunity to stop or at least pause the performance much earlier than he did.

Posted by: JackTheeStallion 7th November 2021, 11:02 PM

Reading about the whole incident is harrowing and something I just couldn't even imagine. Travis doesn't really deserve to have a career after this, he saw what was going on and continued to perform and even egged the crowd on, there are other incidents where he encouraged people to beat up a fan, jump from a balcony. He's trash. Most importantly though I really do feel for the victims, it's truly horrific.

of course it’s more than likely she won’t actually given past precedent of rappers claiming their retirement.

Young Thug and Gunna are amongst those in YSL that have been arrested and Thugger in particular seems to be facing some serious charges.


Posted by: Brer 15th May 2022, 02:42 AM

Tough week for YSL - can't say that Young Thug et al. didn't have it coming to them if what they're being charged with is accurate (that's the end of Thugger's career most likely unless he has a lot of material to keep releasing from behind bars... Gunna will probably be ok though) but in unrelated and much sadder news one of the more recent up and coming signees of the label, Lil Keed, has passed away from kidney failure at age 24. He reminded me a lot of Young Thug so may have been in a good position to 'take his place' in the mainstream. This song was a banger:



RIP.

Cardi B has admitted two offences arising from a brawl in a strip club, as part of a deal that means she will avoid a trial and possible jail time.

The Grammy-winning rapper, born Belcalis Almanzar, pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment, and was sentenced to 15 days community service.

Ten other charges were dismissed.

The context behind this is actually hilarious. He leaked those DMs in response to Fantano trolling him by making a video about receiving a DM from him... except editing it to make it appear Drake just sent him a recipe for vegan cookies. Drake could have just ran with that and appeared slightly goofy but instead he was fully baited into leaking his own DMs and making himself look really bad in the process DeadBanana.gif

Yes, Dizzee Rascal is a grime artist. (Albeit his biggest hits aren't grime songs, but he made grime before that and has gone back to it since).

Chris Brown got violent against Usher after Usher stepped in between Chris and Teyana Taylor, when Chris started yelling at Teyana for reportedly not wanting to talk to him. Later Usher came back with a bloody nose...

When I tell you Chris is my number 1 most hated active musician right now....... how he still has such a big following (people literally defending him... like.. wtf?) and continues getting success is baffling.

Rap artist Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of rape and sex trafficking by a female singer.

In a lawsuit seen by the BBC, ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura said she was trapped for a decade in a cycle of abuse and violence.

Mr Combs - who has also gone by the stage name Puff Daddy - denies the allegations, accusing the singer of trying to extort him.

His lawyer said the claims were "offensive and outrageous".

Ms Ventura - an R&B singer and dancer who performs under the stage name Cassie - alleges that the rap producer raped and beat her over 10 years starting when she was 19 and he was 37.

"After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story," she said in a statement on Thursday.

The lawsuit includes multiple graphic descriptions of the violent abuse that she says occurred beginning after she met the rapper in 2005.

According to the complaint, Mr Combs signed her to his record label, Bad Boy, and "plied the vulnerable Ms Ventura with drugs and alcohol, causing her to fall into dangerous addictions that controlled her life".

Posted by: Mack. 18th November 2023, 01:38 PM

Sean "Diddy" Combs and R&B artist Casandra "Cassie" Ventura have settled a legal case one day after she accused him of rape and sex trafficking.

The pair said they reached an agreement on Friday, without disclosing details.

In a joint statement with Mr Combs, Ms Ventura said that she "decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control.

"I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support."

Mr Combs wrote: "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love."

Ms Ventura filed the lawsuit on Thursday, in which she said she was trapped for a decade by Mr Combs, her-ex-boyfriend, in a cycle of abuse and violence.

The rapper and record executive - who also goes by the stage name Puff Daddy - denied the allegations, and accused the singer of trying to extort him.

Suge Knight has announced that he will address the allegations surrounding long-time rival Diddy on an upcoming episode of his podcast. According to sources involved in the production of Collect Call, Suge will speak on Diddy immediately after his Thanksgiving episode. Specifically, Suge will give his version of events on Cassie's claim that Diddy once loaded up a large amount of firearms to confront Suge. It reportedly happened after the Death Row boss had been spotted dining in LA. According to Cassie, Diddy jumped out of bed, got dressed, and retrieved multiple firearms from a safe before "running out" to confront Suge. However, it appears that the confrontation never actually went down.

Appears he is free already so either the 5 years thing was fake news or he has some very powerful lawyers.
