Compton Menace Continues His Beef With Game Using IG Meme (@thegame @ComptonMenace)



Compton Menace isn't done with Game just yet.


After commenting on Game's "Chiraq" remix in May, the rapper posted a meme on his Instagram account last week of Game with a gun to his face.


The meme reads, "Game's Face When G-Unit Reunited," with the caption #MHG.


The two haven't made it known that there was a fallout, which has led fans to wonder what happened between the two friends.


Menace has also continued to support Game's affiliates Rich Gang and Young Money.

Rick Ross Arrested in North Carolina

Rick Ross‘ TGIF was anything but celebratory. The rapper was arrested in Greensboro, N.C., Friday night (June 27) due to a warrant that was issued for his failure to attend a court date in the city, which stemmed from a previous arrest last year.


The ‘God Forgives, I Don’t’ creator was arrested following a performance at SuperJam 2014 at the Greensboro Coliseum Friday. Last year, Ross was taken into custody for marijuana possession. Due to his failure to show up to the court date to answer to the charges, cops in Greensboro were waiting to take the 38-year-old rhymer to jail once again last night.


Ross was eventually released from the Greensboro Detention Center by police after posting a $1,000 bond.


In 2011, the Maybach Music Group leader was also arrested for marijuana possession in Lousiana. Cops hauled Ross off to jail after they smelled the odor of weed coming from his hotel room and, upon further investigation, found the illegal substance sitting in plain view.



Game Rants About His Daughter on Instagram, Real Dad Responds (@thegame)



Game has been receiving a lot of praise lately since he shared details about his daughter Madison and how he plans to raise her as his own when her father allegedly walked out of her life.


While his ex-fiance, Tiffney Cambridge tried to clear up rumors about his child, Game and Madison's biological father posted responses on instagram. The rapper posted a lengthy note to his critics about Madison, and how he will continue to play the father figure in her life.


"So let's get one thing clear for ALL & EVERYONE that has questions about MY DAUGHTER @daddyslilworld !!!!!!!" he said. "She is my daughter !!! I am her FATHER !!! Doesn't matter if I am biologically her father or if I adopted her or if a father figure was absent in her life the last 9 years of it or not...... What matters is from the moment I laid eyes on her I knew

that WE BOTH we're put into each other's lives for a reason. Her birth father, whomever he might be has been absent from her life since her birth & once I found that out, after already falling in love with her for the months prior to me accepting the role of her FATHER, I immediately had several conversations with her mother (who works very hard for all of her children & doesn't NEED a thing) we agreed that I would take the place as Madison's FATHER. I take the role of FATHER very seriously with my 3 already prior to adding Madison to MY FAMILY so 1 more is nothing more than an easy task & I'm just as excited to have her as she is to have me !!!! She is not the daughter of one of my friends that died as the internet says, nor is her mother struggling or in need of any help raising her children.... The thing is, there was a beautiful sweet girl who was in need of a father & who more perfect than ME ? So with that being said..... @daddyslilworld is MY DAUGHTER & I AM HER FATHER.......NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT !!!!! I will be here for her, @littlemisscali @kingjusticetaylor & @harlemtaylor as long as I breathe & my 4 children will never have to worry about ANYTHING as long as I'm breathing God's good air !!!! & for those haters I see in my & her comments..... Worry bout your OWN kids !!!!! S–t 1/2 y'all need to be worried bout trying to get ya own dead beat as baby daddy's to step up & be 1 tenth of the father I am to my kids..... One thing is fasho, your opinion is NOT going to change the fact that I will be Madison's father FOREVER !!!!! That's my baby girl.... Get used to seeing her..... Sincerely, her FATHER !!!!!"


While Game claims that Madison's father is never around, a man claiming to be the child's father responded by posting a few photos of the two at the park with his other children dated no more than a few months ago.

New Balance 580 – Teal / Neon

Oneness

If you gave a New Balance 580 a jolt of caffeine what exactly would happen? Probably this excitable and electric colorway right here. It’s not affiliated with any designers or boutiques proving that you don’t need a crazy collab to get a great colorway.


The sneaker features almost every material imaginable along the upper and each one is in a different tone of teal for a very interesting visual effect. Combine that with hits of neon on the laces, logo and lining and you’ve got a sneaker that really feels like it could give you wings without the Red Bull. The technical bells and whistles are there as well with a Lightning Dry lining and a Revlite cushioning.


The sneakers are currently available at select New Balance retailers including Oneness and wether you are a runner or not these are fresh enough to warrant a purchase.

Eminem Banned from Hyde Park for Lyrical Content (@Eminem)



According to The Daily Mirror, Eminem was banned from performing at the British Summer Time Festival in London's Hyde Park because of the lyrics in his music. Although the the ban happened back in May, the reason for Em being banned is just now starting to be brought to light.


Read what Royal Parks CEO Linda Lennon had to say about why Eminem was not allowed to perform at Hyde Park:


"This artist flagged risks across the board. In particular in respect of our public reputation. The nature of any act with potential for lyrics to be deemed offensive and/or unsuitable language being audible within the park as a whole, let alone the surrounding residential areas, is unacceptable.


Lucky for Em, the rejection wasn't all bad; because he won't be playing at Hyde Park, Em will perform at Wembley Stadium on July 11th and 12th. Danny Brown and Odd Future will also be performing at the show.

Drake Inspires Major Twitter Thirst With New Shirtless Selfie (@drake)



There's no doubt that the ladies love them some Drake. The Toronto MC has been making them melt for years with seductive tracks that make them feel like he's talking directly to them, and with the leak of a few shirtless selfies two weeks ago, women again began to swoon for the rap superstar.


Well, they're at it again, as another pic of Drake flexing his abs has hit the net. According to Hollywood Life, Drizzy took the pic and sent it to a fan via direct message on Instagram, hoping she'd return the favor. Whether she did or not is unknown, but somehow the photo got leaked and ladies are having a field day.


Check out the shirtless selfies and Twitter reactions above.


Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Concord'

Sneakers Addict

Two of Nike‘s most beloved silhouettes come together to created this Air Jordan 11 ‘Concord’ inspired Nike Air Force 1 colorway. The results are a shoe that is squarely for those in the know and not so much for the pedestrians.


The Nike Air Force 1 is given a black patent leather upper that covers everything except for the toe box, laceplate and heel tab to imply that ‘Concord’ look without fully taking on its build. The translucent outsole also does much to evoke thoughts of the wildly popular Air Jordan 11 colorway.


This very cool take on a classic kick doesn’t yet have a release date set and that also means there is no telling exactly where they will release to. That shouldn’t stop you from figuring out how you feel about them though. Will you be copping?

Nike Jacquard SP 'Rio Pack'

Nike Lab

The folks at Nike have put together several city-based packs over the course of the year however this Rio De Janeiro based pack just may have taken the cake. Even if you’ve never seen Brazil’s second largest city in person these are sure to transcend their theme to simply be dope.


The Nike Lunar Force 1 Mid, Nike Air Max 97 and Nike Air Tiempo 94 are all included in this drop and each silhouette hosts a green jacquard upper that gives way to a multi-colored ankle collar. This color combination really makes the white portion stand out in the mix.


This is a Tier Zero drop which means that it is available at less than a handful of Nike retailers. Hit up Nike Lab to find out how you can grab a pair.

30 Years Ago: Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger Unhappily Team Up for 'State of Shock'


Love Never Felt So Good,’ a posthumous hit with Justin Timberlake, recently sent Michael Jackson back to the Top 10 singles chart. But it wasn’t his first crossover duet, or even his most successful.


Three decades ago in June of 1984, Michael recorded the Jacksons’ No. 3 smash ‘State of Shock’ with Mick Jagger, of Rolling Stones fame. He’d originally intended, in fact, to duet on the song with Queen‘s Freddie Mercury, but scheduling issues kept that from happening at the time.


Both collaborators, of course, had been huge stars. But this era belonged to Michael Jackson, who was riding the crest of the solo mega-hit ‘Thriller‘ when he returned to work on an album with his family band, the Jacksons. As such, the sessions with Jagger lasted mere moments. “How was working with Michael?” Jagger mused in 1985, “Quick. He had the two of us practice scales for two hours, and then we recorded the vocals in two takes.”


The results, however, flew off record store shelves. ‘State of Shock,’ which also went to No. 14 in the UK, would be the last American Top 10 for the Jacksons — ending a run that stretched back the turn of the ’70s and a debut featuring four consecutive chart-toppers as the Jackson 5. The group also scored three No. 2 hits in the early ’70s, before morphing into the Jacksons after a switch to CBS. Jermaine Jackson elected to stay with their original Motown label, and was replaced by Randy, the youngest Jackson sibling.


‘State of Shock’ remains Jagger’s biggest hit away from the Rolling Stones, as well. Still, for all of its success, neither superstar apparently came away with a very good impression of the other. Jackson reportedly later complained that Jagger sang off key, asking “how did he ever get to be a star?” according to Christopher Andersen’s ‘Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger.’ The Stones frontman, meanwhile, snipped that Jackson was “very lightweight — like froth on a beer,” and opted to sing the song at the subsequent Live Aid with Tina Turner instead.


Timberlake, however, had no such qualms — despite having recorded his part years after his hero’s death. He said, ultimately, Jackson gave him the courage to go solo after launching his career with N’Sync.


As for Jackson’s initial sessions with the late Mercury, they are slated to be part of another looming posthumous release, this one from Queen. Jackson and Mercury began work on at least three songs during those sessions — including ‘State of Shock,’ ‘There Must be More to Life Than This’ and ‘Victory,’ which became the title of the platinum-selling 1984 album by the Jacksons that contained this Jagger collaboration.
