Meek Mill brings out Nicki Minaj to perform “All Eyes One You”
Before Meek Mill’s performance at Made In America last night, there were rumors that Nicki Minaj would make a special appearance during Beyonce’s set. However, during Meek Mill’s set on the main stage, he brought Nicki out after playing a couple of her songs. There’s no confirmation on whether the rumors are true, but this move definitely made a difference if it was supposed to happen.
There was a chance that this was going to happen, we just didn’t think it was happening during Fab’s set. Philadelphia-native, and former Roc-a-Fella artist, Freeway appeared in the middle of Fabolous’ set to perform a “What We Do” and “Flipside”.
Bassnectar brought out Dead Prez to perform “It’s Bigger Than Hip Hop”.
No one saw this coming. Producer Bassnectar has a sound that beautifully blends both EDM and Hip Hop, but no one would predict that he would bring Dead Prez out to perform “It’s Bigger than Hip Hop.” We should’ve had a hunch though, because Bassnectar was throwing some radical twists into his set, including a Martin Luther King speech over Kendrick Lamar’s single “Backseat Freestyle”.

“Where all the little girls at?” Tyga yells to the crowd?
WHAT?
This dude is trolling, but more more importantly showing that he’s very creepy. At a recent show, he said “Where all the little girls at?” – I guess all publicity is good publicity.
Keith Richards is one cranky old man and his crotchety disposition has lead him to diss Hip-Hop again.
In an interview with the New York Daily News, the aging rocker said that rap music was so many words, so little said.”
Richards continued, “What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there. All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.”
In 2007 Richards really put his ignorance on full display when he talked to Rolling Stone magazine.
“Hip-hop leaves me cold. But there are some people out there who think it’s the meaning of life… I don’t wanna be yelled at; I wanna be sung to. I never really understood why somebody would want to have some gangster from L.A. poking his fingers in your face,” he said. “As I say, it don’t grab me. I mean, the rhythms are boring; they’re all done on computers.”
Journalist Jim Farber said that the famed guitarist winked every time he dissed somebody in this most recent interview. Perhaps this is his way of staying relevant as Hip-Hop continues to be the dominant genre in these modern days.
