Drake Gives DJ Khaled Diamond Keys
This gift definitely ain't free.
Drake and DJ Khaled had big years individually and together. Their single "For Free" from Khaled's Major Key LP is already platinum, and it's done so well that Kanye West took shots at the duo just before getting hospitalized. To celebrate their friendship and professional success, Drake has gifted DJ Khaled and his baby son with diamond encrusted keys. Khaled announced that he'd received the gift via Instagram with the following caption:
"@champagnepapi thank you so much for this amazing gift for me and my son ASAHD! Thank you for the 2 keys that’s inseparable !!

Mike Dean Says He's Working On The Next Travis Scott Album
Mike Dean is working on Travis Scott's next album.
In an interview released today on VIBE, Mike Dean mentioned that he's currently working on Travis Scott's next album. Additionally, Dean says he's working with Rick Ross, and is almost done executive producing CyHi The Prynce's album. Here's the full excerpt:
"I'm doing some stuff for Kai. Me and Travis are working on another project. I’m about to go in on some other sh*t. Dice Soho, I’ve been working with him. Houston takeover hopefully. I'm going in the studio with Rick Ross, and going to executive produce Cyhi The Prynce album. His album is dope, I'm about to finish it."
Mike Dean co-produced six tracks on Travis Scott's last LP Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, and helped record, mix, and master the entire project. Dean mentions in the interview that Travis actually came on the Pablo tour with Dean just to work on Birds In The Trap. Here's what Dean had to say about the album getting snubbed by the Grammys.
"It’s crazy really. It was one of the most highly-anticipated albums this year, in addition to TLOP and Blonde."
Are you excited for Travis's next album?

Ab-Soul Takes Shots At Jay Electronica In "DWTW" Opening Track
Ab-Soul has harsh words for Jay Electronica on "RAW (backwards)."
Ab-Soul's new album is not a peaceful one. On "RAW (backwards)," the opening track of his new album Do What Thou Wilt, Soulo takes shots at Jay Electronica for picking a fight with Kendrick Lamar. Jay apologized for his past actions, but clearly, not all is forgiven in the TDE camp.
Here are the bars in question:
"I was like a swami of Jay Electronica until he/Figured Dizzle wouldn't admit that he would body him for a milli/I told Kenny keep quiet, I'ma get him/We don't need dirt on your hands getting the key to the city ya feel me/Hurts when your OG, who is supposed to be a G-O-D/Is standing next to King Kunta feeling like Toby/Moos what I gotta do boy?/I'm just waiting on your cue to take him to ScHoolboy!"
Ab-Soul actually spit some of these bars earlier this year at the second annual STEEZ Day Festival in Los Angeles. Do you think Jay Electronica will respond, or is he going to stay true and remain peaceful?

DJ Mustard & YG To Reunite On Upcoming “400 Summers” Mixtape
DJ Mustard & YG are teaming up for the joint mixtape "400 Summers."
It looks like DJ Mustard & YG are officially putting the past behind them. On Wednesday, the two West Coast natives took to their socials to announce a joint project called 400 Summers.
“400 SUMMERS MIXTAPE COMING…Wasn’t pose to give it away but fuck it @YG.” Mustard tweeted out along with a picture of the two kicking next to a Benz. YG later confirmed the project himself by sharing the same photo & announcement on his own accounts as well. No other details are really known at the moment, other than it's "koming soon doe", but this definitely got us anticipating these two getting back together for the first time since YG's wildly successful debut album Still Krazy.
While we wait to see what these two cooked up for us, peep the tweet below and check out YG’s wildly successful sophomore album Still Brazy in the meantime
Young Buck Reportedly Sentenced To 7 Months In Prison
Young Buck is said to have violated the conditions of his August release.
After being released from jail on August 1st, Young Buck has been sentenced to 7 months in prison after violating the conditions of his release, according to Nashville Scene.
The rapper was arrested in July after allegedly kicking down his then-girlfriend's door and threatening to burn her house down, itself a violation of previous conditions from 2013 charges. After serving jail time for that incident, he was released at the beginning of August on the condition that he would not have any contact -- direct or indirect -- with the woman he threatened, but after a reported 100 or more attempts to get in touch with her, he has been hit with a 7-month prison sentence.
An excerpt from the U.S. Attorney's office in reference to Buck's sentencing can be found below.
On July 20, 2016, another of Brown’s ex-girlfriends obtained an Ex Parte Order of Protection in state court and arrest warrants were issued against Brown based on an incident in which Brown wanted to get certain property out of that woman’s house and was told that the property was not there. He then kicked in the door of the residence and threatened that woman. Brown was arrested for violating his supervision, and was detained pending a detention hearing. After that hearing, the federal magistrate determined Brown could be released pending the final hearing on this incident and the previous March 2016 incident, but ordered Brown not to have any direct or indirect contact with this victim. Brown was released under those conditions on August 1, 2016.
After being released on those conditions, Brown violated the conditions of his release by contacting and attempting to contact that woman over 100 times in violation of the Magistrate’s release order.

Here Are The Sales Projections For Gucci Mane's "Everybody Looking"
How much does Gucci's comeback measure up to in sales?
Gucci Mane has Everybody Looking with the release of his new album, but does he have everybody buying? Judging by the initial sales projections, he's got a fairly solid number of spectators opening their wallets.
According to Hits Daily Double, Guwop is set to move 69,000-74,000 units of his new album, including streams, making it 45-50,000 in pure sales. These days, that's certainly nothing to scoff at. It's within the same ballpark of his 2009 album, The State Vs. Radric Davis, which sold 89,000 first week (which, to be fair, was before streaming came into the equation). It's expected to debut at #2 behind (you guessed it) Drake's VIEWS.
Of course, we won't have any official figure until later in the week, so if you're looking for Wop to do numbers this week, make sure to grab the LP on iTunes.
New York Knicks Sign Amar'e Stoudemire So He Can Retire As A Knick
"Once a Knick always a Knick"
The New York Knicks have officially signed Amar'e Stoudemire, but only as a technicality so that he could retire as a member of the Knicks. Not the Phoenix Suns, the team that he was with for his first 8 seasons and experienced the best years of his career with. The New York Knicks.
The six-time All Star (five of which were as a member of the Suns) made the announcement today in which he said his heart has remained in the Big Apple and proclaimed, "Once a Knick, always a Knick."
Stoudemire played a crucial role in bringing the Knicks somewhat into relevance back in 2010 which led to them landing Carmelo Anthony via trade, but there's no denying that this is a very bizarre scenario considering most remember his best years as a dominant force for the Phoenix Suns.
Travis Scott Announces Release Date For "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight"
Travis Scott's long awaited "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight" drops next week.
Now that his deal with Apple Music is in the bag, it looks like Travis Scott’s long-awaited new album, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, is finally ready to see the light of day. On Tuesday night in NYC, Travis was performing a show at the Ford Amphitheatre in Coney Island where he decided to announce to the crowd the release date to his highly anticipated album.
According to Travis, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight will be dropping August 5th, which happens to be next Friday. The album will be released via Apple Music and feature the lead single “Pick Up The Phone” with Young Thug & Quavo.
In addition to the announcement, Travis also shared a never-before-heard record off the album as well, which sounds absolutely fire from what we can hear.

The Memes From Joe Budden's Car Chase Are Hilarious
Joe Budden is a meme now.
A pack of young Drake fans decided it would be funny to "pull up" on Joe Budden at his house Sunday and film the encounter on social media. Budden reacted by initiating a wild car chase after the kids and, once he had caught up to them, got out and menaced them at their car while clutching a handful of rocks.
Naturally, the internet has collectively meme-ified this ridiculous turn of events. Joe Budden is now, among other things, an Olympic sprinter, a character in GTA, and the dude from Temple Run.
Dr. Dre Handcuffed Outside Of His Malibu Home
Dr. Dre was put in cuffs outside of his home in Malibu. Dre's sources say he was the target of a racist man attempting to pin a gun charge on him.
Dr. Dre was cuffed and searched outside of his own house in Malibu earlier today, reports TMZ. Police were called to the scene by a driver who had stopped in front of Dre's house, resulting in a heated altercation.
According to sources close to Dre, the Compton mogul had driven up to his home to find another car blocking his driveway. He asked the driver to move, and he did so, but Dre's sources say that the man proceeded to curse out Dre while he was pulling into his own driveway. They say he continued to harass Dre, prompting the Aftermath boss to pull out his phone to record the dispute. The driver apparently thought Dre was carrying a gun, and he reportedly said, "Here we go again, another black guy with a gun." Again, this is all coming from a source connected with the veteran musician, but perhaps Dre's footage will confirm what happened.
Upon accusing Dre of having a gun, the loitering driver called the cops, who showed up at the scene to put the hip-hop legend in cuffs and search him for a weapon. The police uncuffed him after finding nothing on his person, but the accuser was adamant that they stay put, and he reportedly demanded that he be able to carry out a citizen's arrest against Dre

Did Drake Take Shots At Tory Lanez On His "Summer Sixteen" Tour?
Kicking off the "Summer Sixteen" Tour, Drake wastes little time in sending some shots at Tory Lanez.
There looks to be a new chapter in the on-going feud between Toronto artists Drake & Tory Lanez. On Wednesday night, Drake’s “Summer Sixteen” Tour rolled into Austin, Texas, where the 6 God wasted little time in sending some subtle shots jabs at what people are believing is aimed at Tory Lanez.
To kick off the show, Drake performed his hit song “Summer Sixteen,” and decided to slightly alter the opening lyrics to his verse, rapping “All you boys doing fake controllas wanna be me a little?"
While the lyrics could be intended for Tyga, who recently released a “1 Of 1” song that sounds eerily similar to “Controlla,” it’s safe to say that’s not the case, and Drizzy had Tory on his mind when switching things up. Coincidentally, Tory just so happened to release a new remix over Drake’s “Controlla” a couple weeks ago, which has been receiving good feedback from fans. Add that to their already previous issues and you have yourself the latest chapter in the "New Toronto" saga.
Miami Police Shoot Unarmed Black Man Caring For Autistic Patient
Behavioral therapist Charles Kinsey was caring for an autistic man holding a toy truck when a cop opened fire.
On Monday afternoon, North Miami police officers responded to 911 call asserting that a man was in the street holding a gun and threatening to kill himself. When they arrived on the scene, they found a 23-year-old autistic man holding a toy truck who had wandered outside a nearby mental healthy center his 47-year-old caretaker, Charles Kinsey.
Kinsey obeyed police orders to lie down. He raised his hands his hands in the air and urged his patient to do the same. Kinsey assured the cops that he and his patient were both unarmed and pleaded for them not to fire. When the patient remained sitting cross-legged, an officer opened fire with his assault rifle, striking Kinsey once in the leg. Kinsey told reporters that when he asked the officer why he had shot him, the cop responded, “I don’t know.”
Kinsey was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. “He throws his hands up in the air and says, ‘Don’t shoot me.’ They say lie on the ground, so he does,” Kinsey’s attorney Hilton Napoleon said Wednesday. “He’s on his back with his hands in the air trying to convince the other guy to lie down. It doesn’t make any sense.”
Adidas Debuts Derrick Rose's New Signature Sneaker, The D Rose 7
Inspired by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871?
The official unveiling of Derrick Rose's 7th signature sneaker with Adidas, the D Rose 7, was largely overshadowed by last night's coverage of the Air Jordan 31. Ironically, none of the four initial colorways that were revealed have any hits of orange and blue, but there are plenty of "Bulls" inspired pairs.
If you've been living under a rock all Summer, this is worth noting because Derrick Rose plays for the New York Knicks now.
Adidas' VP of Global Design, and the Knicks' point guard addressed this issue at the unveiling of his 7th signature sneaker last night:
“For each D Rose signature shoe, we focus on a very specific element of storytelling behind what inspires Derrick on and off the court,” said Brian Foresta, vice president of Global Design, adidas Basketball. “With the D Rose 7, we’re ensuring that Derrick’s hometown is never far from him on and off the court. His perseverance and passion to rise above every challenge is what makes him special, so we focused on bringing that to life.”
“Chicago’s always been my home and this shoe represents the city that made me the man I am today. From how I play the game, how I live my life and how it’s prepared me for my next step in New York,” said Rose. “It’s the perfect tribute to the city and fans that helped raise and support me. It’s built for my game and gives me an added incentive knowing that I’m carrying my city with me on every play.”
In fact, the shoes are actually inspired by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. It never ceases to amaze me how far brands will go in order to find some inspiration for a pair of sneakers. Next, Damian Lillard's signature shoe will be a tribute to Lewis and Clark's expedition of the Pacific Northwest and their cultural impact in Portland during 1805.
Getting back on track though, the Adidas D Rose 7 will be hitting retailers in the "Solar Red" colorway on August 11th for $160. Additional pairs like the "Smoke Gray," "Hydration," and "White/Black/Red" will be scattered throughout August, September and October.

Usher, Young Thug & Gucci Mane Shoot Video For "No Limit"
Go behind the scenes of Usher, Young Thug & Gucci Mane's upcoming "No Limit" video.
It looks like Gucci Mane, Young Thug & Usher all linked up this week to shoot the official video for “No Limit.” Thanks to Gucci Mane & his girlfriend’s snapchat stories, footage has surfaced online of the ATL icons doing what they do best in some behind the scenes footage from on set.
From what we can see, the upcoming video looks to feature a lot of art, gold, cash, jewelry, and even zebras for that matter. Gucci Mane can be seen rapping in a classroom full of women, while Usher shows off his dance moves in the clip.
Note, the original song, which is expected to see life on Usher’s upcoming Flawed album, only featured Usher & Young Thug, whereas Gucci Mane looks to be a pleasant addition

The Game, Snoop Dogg & Minister Farrakhan Host Anti-Violence Gang Summit
Earlier today, The Game and Snoop Dogg hosted a citywide summit that encouraged gang members to unite against stopping violence within their communities.
Earlier this month, shortly after the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, The Game and Snoop Dogg helped kickstart a campaign called H.U.N.T., which stands for "Hate Us Not Today." Their first initiative was to lead a peaceful march to the LAPD Headquarters, where both rappers met with top-ranking officials from the department. Earlier today, H.U.N.T. teamed up with the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan to host a citywide forum that specifically called for the presence of gang leaders in the greater Los Angeles area. The goal of the summit was to unite men from opposing gangs in an effort to bring forth solutions about putting an end to violence within the black and brown communities.
The Game announced the event earlier today on his Instagram. He began the invitation by writing, "Los Angeles, on behalf of myself, Snoop Dogg, and the honorable Louis Farrakhan, I want to extend the invitation to all CRIPS, BLOODS, ESE's & all other gang members, major figures & GANG LEADERS from every hood in our city as well as the surrounding cities to our meeting 11am this morning."

Joe Budden Responds To Drake's Diss On French Montana's "No Shopping"
Joe Budden hits Drake with a crying Jordan meme after hearing the OVO boss' diss on French Montana's new single, "No Shopping."
As promised, tonight's episode of OVO Sound Radio included the premiere of French Montana's new Drake-featuring single: "No Shopping." News of the collab first broke in May, when French Montana shared a brief snippet of the song, during which Drake can be heard beginning his verse by rapping, "Pump, pump it up." The line was presumed to be a shot at Joe Budden, who had recently given VIEWS a decidedly negative review on his podcast. Now that the full version of "No Shopping" is here, it's clear that the "Pump It Up" reference was no accident. Much of Drake's verse is directed at Budden, whom he denounces as a one-hit wonder. "You let me turn into the n*gga that you almost was," he raps.
Drake doesn't mention Budden by name until toward the end of his verse, when he raps, "Last week, Budden runnin' in the room / This week sold 1.2." See the full lyrics of Drake's "No Shopping" verse at the bottom of the page.
Judging by his recent tweets and retweets, Budden has heard "No Shopping," and he has already proclaimed himself to be the victor of the beef, clearly feeling that Drake's bars on the new French Montana single don't stand up to the two diss tracks he has already put out, starting at the end of last month with "Making a Murderer" and then another one, "Wake," less than a week later.
Budden provided his first response to "No Shopping" by retweeting an image of a drained iPhone battery, suggesting that Drake's latest raps are the opposite of "Charged Up." He then posted another meme -- not exactly a creative one, but a successful effort nonetheless -- showing the crying Jordan face pasted onto the head of the OVO owl. Budden has since responded to a few of his followers who also agreed that Drake's "No Shopping" response was lackluster.
Fat Joe, Remy Ma & French Montana Have Another Single Coming
"All The Way Up" was just the beginning.
Fat Joe and Remy Ma's "All The Way Up" is the surprise hit of the summer; a smash single that is both rooted in New York's history, and in touch with the current rap landscape. The French Montana-assisted track is still everywhere, particularly in NY, but Fat Joe has revealed in a new interview that he and Remy will be taking the same formula to the follow-up next month.
"New single August 1st. It's called 'Looks Like I'm Cooking'. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Me, Remy, and French," he said. "We going out to Dubai to shoot the video next week. We're gonna be acting real ignorant in the desert, and look for some white tigers."
The single, of course, is slated for Joe and Remy's upcoming collaborative album, Plata o Plomo, which should be on its way soon.
Multiple Police Officers Shot In Baton Rouge
Three officers have been killed and 3 others are wounded.
6 officers have reportedly been shot in Baton Rouge in an attack suspected to be have been carried out by mutiple gunmen at 10 AM Eastern time. CNN reports that 3 of the officers have died from their gunshot wounds, while the other three remain in hospital.
One of the suspects is dead, while their may be two others who are still at large, according to authorities.
The city has been experiencing tension between police and protesters following the killing of Alton Sterling last week, but there is no indication that this shooting is linked to that event.
Police are reported to have received a call about a "suspicious person walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle," this morning, according to a source close to CNN. When police arrived on the scene, shooting began.
Further updates will be provided as details arrive

Gucci Mane Set To Headline "Stop The Violence" Concert In Mississippi
Gucci Mane & Friends will be taking the stage for a "Stop The Violence" event in Mississippi come September.
It looks like Gucci Mane has lined up his second formal post-prison concert. On Thursday night, it was announced that Gucci Mane & Friends will be taking over the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center for an “All Lives Matter” event.
Going down September 24, the "Stop The Violence" event will feature Gucci Mane and "friends," with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, who were both senselessly gunned down by police offers on duty last week.

Ty Dolla $ign Debuts "No Justice" Featuring Big TC
This is the second single off of Ty Dolla $ign's upcoming mixtape "Campaign."
Ty Dolla $ign is gearing up to release his next mixtape Campaign. We’ve already heard the title track “Campaign” featuring Future, a prototypical turn up jam. We now have the second premiere from the tape, in the form of three Instagram videos that run consecutively into one another. “No Justice” features Ty Dolla $ign’s big brother Big TC, and is far more sobering than the first single.
The video is a simple but powerful mix of up close video of Big TC and Ty Dolla singing (separately, as Big TC is still incarcerated), cut together with footage and images of the many, many people who have had their lives taken by police officers over the past few years.

Rich Homie Quan Apologizes To New York After Forgetting Notorious B.I.G. Lyrics
Quan has sent his apologies to the late Biggie Smalls as well as his city following his flubbed lyrics at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors.
While yesterday's VH1 Hip-Hop Honors was great for the most part (shout-out Teyana Taylor), the main takeaway from the glorious ode to Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, and Salt-N-Pepa seems to be the fact that Rich Homie Quan forgot the words to Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Get Money" -- specifically, Biggie's verse, which he was meant to be reciting. This certainly isn't the first time something like this has happened -- even at this event (Lupe Fiasco forgot the words to a Tribe Called Quest in 2007). As familiar as it may be, the roasting always follows, and this time there's even a meme to go along with it (#RichHomieKaraoke).
Quan has been a good sport throughout it all, releasing a sincere apology on Instagram this evening. You can read his statement, in which he cites nerves and technical difficulties for the flub, as well as apologizes to New York, his fans, Lil Kim, and Biggie himself, below.
I assure you that I never intended to disrespect Biggie Smalls. I have long respected his work and his contribution to the rap game.I greatly apologize not only to Biggie Smalls, but also to all of my fans and to New York. The city of New York has been nothing but good to me. I felt honored to stand on stage with artists I grew up listening to.Once on stage I had some technical difficulties and must admit I got nervous.I will forever be sorry to New York, my fans, Biggie Small, Lil Kim, and all the Hip Hop community for my performance. I hope you can accept my apology. To Lil Kim, Thank you for the opportunity.
Rich Homie Baby
