Beef Alert: Drake Fires Shots, Disses JayZ, Kanye West And Macklemore

Tensions arising after the Grammies especially after Macklemore took home most of the awards in the hip-hop category. Drake was on the hot seat with Music and Lifestyle magazine Rollingstone. The rapper according to reports was very eloquent about his views about somethings in the hip-hop world. The rapper called out Macklemore on texting Kendrick Lamar after the Grammies saying “That shit was wack as fuck,” about Macklemore’s post-Grammys apology text to Kendrick Lamar. “It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Take Your W, and if you feel you don’t deserve it, go get better — make better music.”

The rapper reportedly didn't stop there, The went off on Kanye West's Yeezus album saying “There was some real questionable bars on [his Yeezus album]. Like that ‘swaghili’ line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn't say some shit like that.”

The most shocking of all was Jay Z. Jay is certainly the last person Drake should be calling out, given his long history in the hip-hop industry and the fact that the duo had collaborated on two mega hits together, The OVO Sound boss said  “It’s like Hov (Jay Z) can’t drop bars these days without at least four art references,” Drake said in the interview. “I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny.”

Anyway, Drake has blamed most of the above comments on bad press, saying the magazine had put words in his mouth and published things he did not say. The rapper quickly took to Twitter to clear things up. He released a series of tweets about Rolling Stone allegedly putting in comments about Kanye that he never said, and about a last minute cover change that removed his image for one of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Some of these Tweets were later deleted.

“I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone,” he wrote. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.”

New Music: The Devil Is A Lie - Rick Ross (feat JayZ)

Produced by K.E. On The Track, Rozay and Mr. Carter deliver another lyrical gem, Jay Z using the appearance to address the controversy behind his collaborative collection with Barneys New York.

World Shock: Beyonce, Without Warning, Releases Fifth Studio Album "Beyonce"

Okay once again the royal family of hip-hop strikes again. After JayZ released MCHG (Magna Carta Holy Grail) this year, a shockingly awesome album for Samsung devices only in the first month of release. I knew it won't be too long before Beyoncé made a big come back. After being away from the active music scene for almost 2 years, the diva just shocked the music world by releasing her fifth studio album without warning, and the ramifications don't end there. The "visual album," simply entitled Beyoncé, is exclusively available on iTunes, and sells for $15.99 without the ability to purchase any of the 14 tracks individually. It features guest appearances from the likes of Frank Ocean, Drake, and Jay-Z, and there is an accompanying music video for each song alongside three additional clips.

Although the new Beyoncé album appears to be a major coup for Apple, the price and download restrictions harken back to a time when customers would have to pay in full for every song on a CD. The queen is back.

World's Most Famous Couple, JayZ and Beyonce On The Verge Of A Break Up?

This is probably the saddest break-up rumor i have had to blog since Will and Jada-Pinket Smith, according to life style magazine, Star Magazine, the world's most famous couple, JayZ and Beyonce are probably on the verge of a break-up and worse the duo are experimenting a trial separation at the moment.While i am not a big fan of the couple, we all have to admit there are very few successful black people in the modern world and even better, few powerful black couples, i really do hope Jay and Bey fix this, at least for Martin Luther, lol. Read The report from Star Magazine Below

From Star Magazine 

Things seem to have taken a rocky turn for the seemingly happily married couple. Beyonce, 32, is reportedly thinking about taking a break from her marriage because she thinks Jay is being “selfish” and not putting his family first.

While Beyonce was in Australia for her Mrs. Carter tour, Jay Z visited her and the two lovebirds took a mini 3-day vacation to a private resort to spend some quality time together. But apparently it was more than just a relaxing trip.

"Jay Z’s early November trip to Australia was not just a family getaway, it was a last-ditch effort to keep his marriage afloat," an insider told Star.

"Jay Z’s decision to tour Europe at the same time as Beyoncé is touring Australia has caused serious damage to their relationship — damage that may be ultimately prove to be irreparable.”

 Though the source says Bey didn’t have an issue with Jay, 43, going on tour with Justin Timberlake over the summer, she assumed that he would at least take the initiative to accompany her and their 19-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy, on tour in Australia and New Zealand – instead of going clubbing all the time.

"Not only did he plan the tour without consulting her at all, but he didn’t even try to coordinate dates with her tour. She told him he was selfish."

"Beyoncé has been feeling like a single mother lately — and has been letting her husband know he’s on shaky ground, and she’s using the time they spend apart as a trial separation."
