Kanye West & T.I. Debate Trump’s Politics On "Ye Vs. The People"

Los Angeles, CA – Finally, the time has come for Kanye West to actually share some new music following all the announcements he made.

On Friday (April 27), Kanye added fuel to the fire sparked by the people who believe he has lost his mind by supporting Donald Trump.

His new song “Lift Yourself” was simply nothing but soul samples and scatting about scat.

However, for his new song “Ye Vs. The People” featuring one of Hip Hop’s biggest anti-Trump voices in T.I., an open conversation is had.

“I know Obama was Heaven-sent/But ever since Trump won, it proved that I could be President,” Kanye raps to which Tip retorts, “Yeah you can, at what cost though?/Don’t that go against the teachings that Ye taught for?”

“Yo T.I.P., I hear your side and everybody talk though/But ain’t goin’ against the grain everything I fought for?” Yeezy responds.

The record was premiered on Power 106 Los Angeles and caps off a week where the commanding megastar tweeted how Trump “was his brother,” openly disagreed with John Legend and even showed off his autographed “Make America Great Again” hat.

Ciara Accuses Future Of Repeatedly Missing Visits With Their Son

Just when you thought Ciara and Future had moved past their post-breakup drama, a new court filing is disrupting the mood.

According to TMZ, the RB star is requesting a mediation with her trap king ex-fiancé, because he allegedly misses out on 37 percent of his scheduled visits with their 3-year-old son, Future Zahir.

The court documents also claim that Baby Future frequently has to travel to Georgia to satiate Big Future’s visitation rights but often ends up spending time with grandparents (with the superstar rapper showing up last minute, throwing Ciara’s schedule out of whack).

As a result of the continuous cross-country travel, the child’s existing health issues have been amplified, causing him to reportedly be exhausted and have emotional breakdowns in school. Ciara also claims she rarely gets to FaceTime the boy while he’s out of town.

Neither party has addressed the ongoing situation on social media but Future did tweet “I want the best for u less stress for u” 10 days ago — so it’s possible a resolution is on the horizon.

Ciara and Future were engaged in October 2013 but eventually called off the engagement a year later. She went on to marry NFL star Russell Wilson two years later in July 2016. They share a daughter together.

Remy Ma & A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Hotel Lobby A Party In "Company" Video

Bronx, NY – Remy Ma’s 7 Winters 6 Summers rollout continues with the release of “Company,” her newest single with her BX brother, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

The Cool Dre-produced, Jon J-directed feature finds both artists exchanging playful interactions as the hotel they occupy increasingly becomes a livewire event.

“Company” follows the path carved out by Remy’s previous album singles, “Wake Me Up” (featuring Lil Kim) and “Melanin Magic.” The Columbia Records-sanctioned project is due out later this summer.

In reference to the upcoming album, Shawn “Tubby” Holiday, the SVP of AR says, “Columbia Records is lucky to get to partner with Remy on this album. We could not be more proud to be her label home, and help provide a platform for the release of 7 Winters 6 Summers. It is an incredible album detailing Remy’s story. She has so much to give her fans and this industry. Remy is a true Hip Hop icon and we are beyond excited to share her music, and her vision, with the world.”

Watch the “Company” video up above.

Post Malone’s "Beerbongs & Bentleys" Is Already Platinum

Less than 24 hours after its release, Post Malone’s latest studio album, Beerbongs Bentleys, is already platinum status, according to a Republic Records press release. The project serves as his follow-up to massively successful Stoney, which the 22-year-old released in 2016.

On Friday (April 27), Chart Data tweeted about the album’s eligibility but the RIAA must certify it in order for Malone to receive the official platinum plaque.

The New York-bred rapper’s debut album has been on the Billboard 200 for the past 71 weeks and was in the Top 10 for the week ending April 5. So, it comes as no surprise his sophomore effort is rocketing toward a #1 Billboard 200 debut on next week’s chart.

Lead single “rockstar” featuring 21 Savage — which came with a blood-soaked video — topped the Hot 100 for eight weeks, while “Psycho” debuted at #2 last month and remains in the Top 5.

The Nicki Minaj-assisted “Ball For Me” was released as the project’s third single on Friday.
