Childish Gambino Wants Artists To Embrace Rap Beefs (@DonaldGlover)

During Complex Magazine's Complex Complex concert series, headliner Childish Gambino explains why rapper's should embrace beefs.

"Sometimes I do get at people specifically..I think it's kinda wack that some rappers can't take being talked about," he said. "I think that's stupid. We're grown men, so [what if] people don't like you, who cares? That's the point. If everyone liked you, you'd be the Clay Aiken of rap."

He's already in the process of creating a follow up to his second album Because The Internet.

"I already started making new songs for the next album so I really want to push boundaries and do things no one has really done before. I think this album might do that."

Do you think he has a point?

After securing the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart with ‘Mastermind,’ Rick Ross celebrated with a concert performance at the 2014 SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas on Saturday (March 15). The Miami rhymer hit the stage as part of the Fader Fort lineup, which also included Erykah Badu on the bill.

The ‘Baduizm’ artist, backed by her band, performed an extremely short set but it wasn’t without any highlights. The R&B songbird pounded on the MPC while singing a few of her classic joints, including ‘On & On’ and ‘The Healer.’

At the end of her set, Badu dedicated ’Didn’t Cha Know’ to the mostly young crowd who were probably born when the song came out back in 1997. “This frequency is for you, I wrote it for y’all,” she told the audience. “And for me, too. This s— is my therapy. I love, y’all.”

We love you to Badu.

Afterward, Bun B graced the stage for a brief set. The Texas king performed a bevy of his hits including ‘Big Pimpin’ and ‘Sippin’ on Some Sizzurp.’

Then it came time for the Maybach Music Group honcho to hit the Fader Fort stage.

Backed by the 1500 or Nothin’ band, Rozay was dressed in all-black including a DGK T-shirt featuring a design of a Kangol hat and dookie gold rope chain.

Ross kicked off his set with ‘Devil Is a Lie’ from his latest album, ‘Mastermind.’ The 38-year-old rapper performed several tracks from the LP, including ‘Sanctified,’ ‘Thug Cry’ and ‘War Ready.’

But Ross also rapped several tunes from his expansive catalog. Highlights included ‘Hustlin’,’ ‘BMF,’ ‘John,’ ’9 Piece,’ ‘I’m One On’ and Ace Hood’s ‘Bugatti.’

And before Ross performed ‘Nobody,’ his re-working of Notorious B.I.G.‘s classic song, the rapper gave R.I.P. shout-outs to Biggie, Tupac Shakur and the late Texas rhymer Pimp C, which was a nice touch.

Rozay even stepped aside to let two rap young’uns get their shine on at the Fader Fort stage — rappers Tracy T and Fat Trel.

R&B songbirds Fantasia and Brandy are caught in the middle of a publicist’s racially-charged legal battle with Sony Music. Famed PR manager Courtney Barnes is suing the record company claiming he lost his job repping them because they allegedly hate black people.

According to TMZ, Barnes was hired by Fantasia to do PR work for her but was fired days later. He claims that the singer’s manager told him that Sarah Dennison, the Vice-President of Publicity at Sony Music, allegedly hated him and wanted him fired.

Barnes believes that Dennison hated him so much that Fantasia would’ve been screwed over royally if she didn’t drop him as her publicist.

Barnes also alleges in his lawsuit that Dennison formed her opinion about him based on hearsay that he had a reputation for “shady business practices.” According to Barnes, that code for racism.

Barnes’ firing as Fantasia’s publicist ruined his reputation and influenced Brandy’s decision not to work with him because of Dennison’s alleged slander.

Barnes is seeking $250,000 in damages.

Attorneys for Sony Music says Barnes’ lawsuit has no merit.

KiD CuDi: Certain Rap Is Holding Us Back As A Culture (@ducidni)

KiD CuDi recently appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show where he had a very revealing conversation with the late night vet.

When asked what he would tell his fellow rappers to improve Hip-Hop, he responds that the "Money, Cash, Hoes" rhymes need to come to an end for the betterment of the culture and for the young people who embrace it.

"That's holding us back as a culture, as black people, that doesn't advance us in any way, we been doing that same thing for years now...if you're going to be an artist you need to embrace the responsibility and understand that the power of music is so special...why not use that for good? Why not tell kids something they can connect with and use in their lives?"

CuDi then goes on to discuss his own thoughts of suicide, a topic that has come up in his music before.

"I know what that feels like, and I know it comes from loneliness, I know it comes from not having self-worth, not loving yourself.
