According to TMZ, despite numerous attempts to locate the rapper, Tyga was unable to be reached and was an eventual no-show to his San Diego, CA performance at the World Beat Center earlier this month.

When concert promoters told the crowd of hundreds of fans that Tyga wouldn’t be performing, fans began to trash the World Beat Center, destroying the walls, floors, and other pieces of property in the venue.

Eventually, 12 police officers were called to the scene to break up the disturbance that resulted in Tyga being banned from the venue for further concerts.

Tyga’s reps could not be reached for comment at press time.

Exclusive: Black Thought Deconstructs The Roots’ Critically-Acclaimed “undun” Album

Since 1987, they’ve made an unquestionable mark on music – not just Hip-Hop music, but quite possibly the entire history of recorded song. Pulling from their hard-knock hometown’s storied past and their own unique blend of lyrical and instrumental talents, The Roots have become synonymous with artistry and longevity.

Anchored by the foundations of the group – rapper Black Thought and drummer ?uestlove – The Roots are members of rap’s elite 10+ Club, having recorded 10 studio and one collaboration albums in the 25 years since their “Illadelph inception” at Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts.

Times have changed, and the industry is nearly unrecognizable when compared to rap’s Old School and Golden Eras, where The Roots first showed signs of greatness. Still, as Black Thought would agree, when an artist or group’s foundation is sturdy and timeless, the old fans remain loyal and the new fans become mesmerized by the new material – such as the critically-praised undun album, released in early December 2011. The work also remains steady – touring and a long-term house band gig on “The Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Show” hold The Roots down between albums.

Black Thought welcomed AllHipHop.com into his amazing home on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, where we received a schooling on how to create a genius concept album and also received some scoop on what’s next for The Roots:

Daily Word: Never Compromise!!

Happy Tuesday, my Glorious Great Ones!

Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to not compromising yourself! You have dreams! You have desires! You know exactly how you want your life to be! Sometimes while on the road to achieving our goals, we are presented with options that are not exactly what we want! We contemplate and somehow convince ourselves to accept less than we deserve!! We rationalize and find excuses why this is a good option…. All the while knowing that we are settling!!

Make sure as you are on your road to greatness that you understand your worth and never compromise that value, no matter what! Believe in the abundance of the world, and know that you can get exactly what you want out of life if you believe that you can receive it! The only lack that exists is in the mind! Never compromise!! Stand Tall for what you believe in, and go after it like a runaway train!!! Absolutely Nothing can stop you!!!
