FLICKS/RECAP: Odd Future, Raekwon, Asher Roth, Smoke DZA And More Tear It Down In NYC For Peter Rosenberg’s Birthday
Late this week, Hot 97 radio personality Peter Rosenberg celebrated his birthday at the Best Buy Theater in New York City with his “Night of ‘Real’ Hip-Hop” concert, with performances and appearances from Odd Future, Frank Ocean, Raekwon, Asher Roth, Action Bronson, Smoke DZA, Nitty Scott MC, and more.
The night saw Smoke DZA bring his brand of “kush-raps” to a sold-out crowd that was primarily there to see their beloved Odd Future crew members, Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt, perform a set full of their most well-known records. Before the night began, Rosenberg let the crowd know that, despite being billed as a Tyler and Earl show, “Unfortunately, the rest of Odd Future is here, too,” a statement that got a rousing applause from the nearly 2,200 people in attendance.
A high-energy set from Asher Roth, who was backed by a live band, also left a surprising impact on the show-goers, who gave the Pennsylvania native tons of love as he blazed through a number of tracks from his debut album Asleep In the Bread Aisle, as well as some newer music like “In the Kitchen.”
Before Odd Future hit the stage around 10:45PM, Wu-Tang co-founder Raekwon hit the stage and performed some of the group’s most iconic records such as “C.R.E.A.M.,” “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin Ta F Wit” and “Protect Ya Neck”, before performing some of his own classics tracks like “Ice Cream” and “Incarcerated Scarfaces”.

Hip-Hop Rumors: What Metal Plaque Did Birdman Give Nicki?
This is weird.
It has been well documented how many units Nicki Minaj has sold. And, that’s OK. But, right now, she has moved GOLD units of her second album, Roman Reloaded. And that’s OK. But, Birdman recently presented her with a plaque of some sort at a recent concert. The nature of this plaque is not fully known, but it appears to be that of a platinum plaque. Well, we’re not sure how they claim such a thing at this juncture. It may be that they are counting sales outside of the United States or something. I don’t know. But, it wouldn’t seem 100% real…I don’t think the RIAA/Soundscan people issue plaques merging all sales together.

No Rumor: IRS Sells EVERYTHING Young Buck Owns For Pennies On The Dollar!
IRS Sells EVERYTHING Young Buck Owns For Pennies On The Dollar!
Man, this is some BS! I cannot help, but feel bad for Young Buck. I know he made some bad decisions, but damn! I’m thinking that maybe he did something else that we don’t know about and that his Karma is coming back. I cannot call it.
At any rate, the IRS is going after rappers in alarming ways, but this is just disrespectful!
The IRS has revealed that they sold all his stuff for $53K! This includes a 615 Cashville necklace for $12,600. Other things that were sold for much less, including flat screen TVs, gold albums, other jewelry, and recording equipment.
EVEN HIS NAME WAS SOLD.
So from now on Young Buck cannot even rap under that name.
He owes about $11.5 million to the IRS and sadly another $10 million is owed to G-Unit records.
Buck has also been sentenced to 18 months in jail.
