(AllHipHop News) Q predicted this moment on Oxymoron’s “Break The Bank” when he rapped “tell Kendrick move from the throne I came for it.” Today (March 4th), HitsDailyDouble has provided the final tally and Schoolboy Q gives Top Dawg Entertainment its first #1 album on the Billboard 200 with Oxymoron selling 138,517 copies.
Congrats y’all went number #1!!!!!!! Clap for yaself
While Kendrick’s good kid, mAAd city sold over 100,000 copies more than Q’s Oxymoron, it was unable to debut at #1 due to Taylor Swift’s Red album selling over 1.2 million copies in its first week.
Kid Cudi also enters the Top 5 at #4 selling 85,860 copies of his Satellite Flight: Journey To Mother Moon album, down from the 140,000 copies his previous album, Indicud sold in its first week. This is the lowest first week sales total for a Cudi solo album in his 5 year career and worst since his 2012 collaborative album, WZRD with Da Dot Genius sold 66,000 copies in its opening week.
50 Cent started something and then took it back. I’m thinking he really didn’t want to start this “war” with Diddy, Rick Ross and then his latest nemesis Steve “The Commissioner” Stoute.
But, some time in the recent past, 50 posted a pic that seemed to suggest that Diddy was a gay man, spreading his love around. Now, we know Diddy beds women at a rate of 2.7 per day, but that’s beside the point. The point is, 50 took the post down, but…yooooooo….
(AllHipHop News) Mark Cuban says “this f*cking thing is going to change the world” and Schoolboy Q is in disbelief it actually exists. What is it? According to the website of Huvr Tech, they have created the world’s first hoverboard and had Schoolboy Q, Tony Hawk, Terrell Owens and more test it out.
The site claims that their product, Huvr is a real-life hoverboard offers auto-stabilizing technology that allows riders to balance on the board while off the ground. Dallas Mavericks owner and venture capitalist Mark Cuban is touted as an investor. Schoolboy Q participated in the live demonstration and expressed how the Huvr’s performance quickly eradicated his initial disbelief:
I didn’t believe it. They told me they have a hoverboard that can fly. I didn’t believe it. This sh*t is a crazy board.
However, not everyone has suspended their disbelief in the product. Popular tech site The Verge claims they could not find any trademarks or company information for Huvr Tech.
While there is no official release date for the product announced, the Huvr site has a graphic that says “Destination Date: December 2014”.
Check out more information on Huvr at their official site and watch Schoolboy Q fly off the ground on a hoverboard below:
Well lookie here. Somebody has a handful of Amber and it ain’t Wiz. I don’t know if this is recent or old, but apparently somebody feels a way about it. And it ain’t Wiz. What do you think about a married mother of one getting her butt groped by a fan? Don’t bother me one bit. In fact, I wish I was him. Peep:
Dats a lucky dude. Wiz, I mean. The fan drove 17 hours…WOW.
Designed with the sounds of Dilla. We call it Plug Two
On the 25th year of De La Soul’s debut album 3 Feet High And Rising, the legendary rap group is ready to deliver fans with more music than they have in years. Today (March 4th), De La Soul released the song “Dilla Plugged In”, off their upcoming J. Dilla-produced mixtape Smell The D.A.I.S.Y.
The mixtape will be the second mixtape the group plans to release. Later this month, De La Soul are set to release a mixtape over six beats from DJ Premier and Pete Rock entitled Premiem Soul On The Rocks.
The group’s eighth album (and first in a decade) You’re Welcome is scheduled to be released this summer.
Last night, New York City’s, Best Buy Theater served host to Rick Ross’ Mastermind album release concert. Upon entry, a bevy of Top Flight security guards greeted guests with, ‘Have your own damn tickets out before you get on line!’ Well, Ricky must have remained connected to some of his former co-workers.
While descending a plethora of stairs I was again thankful I chose to wear my reliable and always comfy all-black Chucks. Overhead, several substantial crystal chandeliers gave the theatre its overt lighting. The V.I.P..’s segregated themselves to two different areas; balcony seating was reserved for these cognizant of the personal importance, as was a section of the conventional cushioned theatre seats.
The feuds are over! Tracks by both Jeezy and 50 Cent were played. The pre-show cacophony of sound was mixed with assorted Hip-Hop, anxious conversation from The Boss’ supporters, and fruitless haranguing from the desperate security anxious for action. Proclaiming, “No smoking!,’ suspected Green connoisseurs were readily assaulted with an intense flashlights glare.
8:30 – 10 P.M.
At 8:30 P.M. all lights were abruptly shut off. Momentarily engulfed by darkness a hush silenced the crowd. The stage instantly illuminated with Hot 97’s, DJ Enuff. French Montana’s “Ocho Cinco,” shattered the silence. The crowd was definitely on one! Playing to the home crowd, a medley of New York nostalgia followed. Biggie, ‘Pac, The Infamous Mobb’s “Shook Ones,” and even Nas’ “Oochie Wally” cranked up the collective excitement. The knob was nearly broken.
Though armed with impressive scratching, DJ Enuff’s previous promises of an unrevealed Rick Ross annoyed the crowd. Around 10 P.M. the stage was still sans Ross. A lackluster chorus of boos echoed growing contention and disappointment.
10:15 – 11:15 P.M.
Accompanied by 1500 or Nothin’s band and DJ Sam Sneed, The Teflon Don, finally took the stage. A Maybach Music intro was reiterated to signify his presence. “B.M.F.,” “I’m Not A Star,” and “I’m A Boss” erased any angst regarding the prolonged wait.
Snippets of the 2013 hit “F*ckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt,” and “The Devil Is A Lie,” were both performed without Jay Z. An abbreviated “Blk & White” was performed before Atlanta’s, Tracy T graced the stage to assist with “War Ready.” Too bad Jeezy was not in attendance to complete the track.
A special homage to Brooklyn, NY was paid throughout the show’s duration. Daring to remake the classic Notorious B.I.G., “You’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)” Ross’ rendition “Nobody” features both Diddy and French Montana. The Coke-Boy himself presence heightened “Nobody’s” delivery. Many of the night’s rappers relied on the security of a backing track; this was only awkward when the live spitting did not synch with the prerecorded track.
Though only performing one song, The LOX snatched the stage when performing the classic, “Money, Power, Respect.” This was the absolute highlight of the show; everyone was on their feet! Emboldened by the tangible energy, Rick Ross, time-travelled to ’06 with “Hustlin’” followed by his verse from “On One,” plus a preview of “In Vein” which is bolstered by The Weeknd’s voice. Taking a moment to honor the Creator, “Sanctified” briefly graced the crowd.
Strip club anthem, “Don’t Stop” was interrupted by DJ Khaled who insisted on an Instagram break. French Montana, DJ Khaled, and Rick Rose posed amid the blinding flashes for the Instagram memory. Armed with confidence Tracy T again took the stage sharing “Champagne” and “16” to a stoic New York reception.
Fat Trel’s “Shhh” and “She Fell In Love” reinvigorated the crowd. Introduced by Khaled, Busta Rhymes, used his credible cadence to deliver the classic, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See.” Perhaps the concert’s most awe-inspiring moment was when Busta proclaimed, “Ross Ross, hands-down, is one of my favorite MCs of all time.” This revelation elicited a secure-man hug from The Boss and the former Leader of The New School.
For reasons unknown, in true DJ Khaled fashion, the DJ shouted to Ross supporters to buy all three versions of Mastermind. Kanye shrugs and a collective f*ckhesaid emanated from the crowd. I was grateful to have been seated during the concert. It definitely killed a mundane Monday evening.
Big K.R.I.T. launched the “Week of K.R.I.T,” which is his new campaign that will see him releasing a track everyday. After delivering a major collaboration with Rick Ross on “New Agenda,” KRIT drops a freestyle called “Conscious Effort.” Over Hi-Tek’s “Letter To The King” (originally done by Game and Nas), KRIT attempts to come off modest, talking about how money changes everything and wondering if the grind will finally pay off.
