Is Rihanna Dropping a New Single or New Album? [PHOTO]

Rihanna has the Twitterverse buzzing over what looks to be a new single (or possibly an album) dropping on Thursday (March 26).
On Wednesday (March 25), the R&B superstar went on her Instagram account and posted a photo that appears to be the front cover of her next project. It’s a black-and-white picture of RiRi with bushy eyebrows and wearing a leather jacket that reveals her egyptian tattoo, as well as some very long earrings.
Now the million-dollar question: Is she dropping a new single or new album?
Rihanna caption the picture with the hashtags “#R8,” “#BBHMM” and “#March26,” plus a link to her website RihannaNOW.com (which leads to the same picture and hashtags).
For those of you who don’t know what “BBHMM” means it’s an acronym for “Bitch Better Have My Money.” It’s also written in braille on the left side of the photo. Rihanna also posted a 15-second clip of a scene from I’m Gonna Git You Sucka in which pimp-turned-poet Flyguy (played by Antonio fargas) recites his poem, “Bitch Betta Have My Money.”
Music website Hot New Hip-Hop is reporting that the photo is the artwork of the aforementioned single. However, other news outlets are speculating that it’s the title of her new album.
Since January, the 27-year-old singer has been releasing a constant stream of singles. First, she released “FourFiveSeconds” and, most recently, “Towards the Sun” from the Home soundtrack. In addition, unofficial songs like “Dancing in the Dark” and “As Real as You and Me” has leaked online.
Either way, Rihanna’s Navy (aka her fans) are waiting with bated breath to see what she’s bringing on Thursday.
What do you think Rihanna is releasing — a new single or new album? Tell us in the comments below.

Tink Heads to Church in 'Ratchet Commandments' Video With Timbaland
If you haven’t heard by now, Timbaland’s protegee Tink is the real deal. She spits straight fire, has a ridiculously unique singing voice and writes dope lyrics. Now she drops the video for her new song “Ratchet Commandments,” the first single off her debut album.
Throughout the visuals, you’ll find the 19-year-old rhyming in a rundown classroom, a back alley and a makeshift church. Timb mostly plays the background and lets Tink do her thing.
The impressive cut is a play off Biggie’s classic “Ten Crack Commandments,” but the Chicago native does a stellar job of borrowing just pieces of the song and delivering her own message. She also displays some dancing skills in the clip and shows enough charisma to potentially make her a star.
As far as her wardrobe choices, Tink changes clothes throughout, dressing up as an Egyptian queen and as a gospel preacher. She also sports a nylon blue jacket and jeans, giving us a glimpse at her simple, but cool personal style.
Plus, Timbaland’s artist casually switches back and forth from rapping to singing in the cut, and she explained how she does it in a recent interview. “I’m in a totally different mindset when I’m singing,” said Tink in an interview with Complex . “When I’m rapping, like a turn up song, I’m thinking about what the people want to hear, this is what they’re going to like. When I’m singing, I’m like telling my story. I’m not worried if people like it, I’m just trying to be truthful.”
Watch Tink deliver her warning in the “Rachet Commandments” video above.

Jimmy Henchman Receives Second Life Sentence in Prison
James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, who is currently serving a life sentence in prison for drug trafficking, was slapped with another life sentence in connection with the 2009 murder of Bloods street gang member Lowell Fletcher.
According to the New York Post , Rosemond put a hit out on Fletcher because he was affiliated with G-Unit, whom he had been feuding with.
The former rap mogul was seeking retaliation after Tony Yayo threatened Henchman’s son with a gun because he was wearing a rival’s T-shirt. Henchman vowed to get revenge and paid Brian “Slim” McCleod a “slab” of cocaine worth $30,000 to carry out the hit.
Judge Colleen McMahon called Rosemond’s crimes “heinous” but lamented to the 50-year-old that “there’s nothing I can do to alter your fate.”
In 2012, during an interview with government officials, Rosemond confessed to being the mastermind behind the 1994 non-fatal shooting of Tupac Shakur at New York’s Quad Studios. Unfortunately, he won’t be convicted of the crime because of the statute of limitations is up.
In 2013, Rosemond was found guilty by a federal jury in Brooklyn for trafficking drugs through his record label, Czar Entertainment, from the East to the West Coast.

T.I. Gives Details on His Role in 'Get Hard,' Calls Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell 'Best Comedy Duo' [VIDEO]
Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell‘s new film, Get Hard, opens in just a few days, and one of everyone’s favorite rappers stars in the comedy. T.I. plays the role of Russell, the leader of a fictitious L.A. gang. Tip sat down with XXL and explained how he landed the part and what fans can expect from his character.
“I called my buddy [Kevin Hart] and found out if [Get Hard] was real and he said it was,’” said the Paperwork creator. “And then I said, ‘Okay, you know you’re going to have to get me in this movie, right?’ And then we kind of went through the process of meeting the director … Then we went and met with the other producers … And everybody was in [agreement] that this would probably be the best fit for the film.”
Russell, the rapper’s character, is the cousin of Darnell, played by Kevin Hart. “My character is, let’s just say they have reason to believe if ever Will’s character found himself in prison, I’d be able to supply adequate protection,” he jokes.
The Hustle Gang leader also revealed the positive working relationship between himself and both Hart and Ferrell, comparing them to some of the best comedy duos of all-time. “I think they’re probably the best comedy duo, probably since Eddie Murphy, Dan Akroyd, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, like they’re up there. They feed off each other very well and they’re both like some kick ass clowns,” T.I. shared.
Get Hard is T.I.’s fifth film. The MC made his big screen debut in ATL in 2006. Next, he’ll be in the film adaptation of HBO’s Entourage, then play in the superhero movie Ant-Man, which comes out this summer.
Get Hard opens Friday (March 27). Watch T.I. open up about his role above.

Nike Sportswear Black and White Canvas Collection
Nike has been giving their Air Max model a lot of attention as of late and from that we have benefited greatly. They’re firing up a few styles of the silhouette for this sweet new Black & White Canvas Collection.
The collection consists of black and white canvas-covered colorways of a Nike Air Max 1 and Nike Air Max 90, along with the Nike Internationalist. Each one also has a black leather swoosh with white elements mixed in while the AM 90 gets cream accents for good measure.
Look for them to drop sometime in late April or early May. We’d suggest copping all three pair since we’re also completionists and need to have full sets of things.

Action Bronson Throws Fan Off Stage During New York City Show for 'Mr. Wonderful' Album [VIDEO]
Action Bronson has a reputation for throwing fans off of the stage and he continues to build on that after he tossed another one during his show at Terminal 5 in New York City Tuesday night (March 24).
While the Queens rapper was performing “Amadu Diabolo,” off his Party Duo-produced mixtape, Blue Chips 2, he suddenly dropped his mic, walked swiftly to one side, grabbed a guy who made his way onto the stage and hurled him back into the crowd. What makes things more interesting is that Action strolled casually back to his mic and resumed the show like nothing happened. You can see exactly what went down in the video recorded by filmmaker Marc Cersosimo above.
As we previously mentioned, the “Easy Rider” rapper has had his run-ins with fans in the past. In June 2013, Action was just finishing up “Pouches of Tuna” when a fan hopped onstage. Right before jumping into “Steve Wynn,” the rapper body slams the kid WWE-style at the Boston show. Then last year in North Carolina, he punched a fan who “flew three rows back into the crowd,” a concert-goer recounted on Twitter.
In more non-violent news, Action was in town to celebrate the release of his new album, Mr. Wonderful, and bring the Wonderful Truck — the same food truck he took to SXSW — directly to foodies. That’s a perfect way to promote his new web series, F—, That’s Delicious . Workers on the truck served chicken cutlet sandwiches to fans outside Terminal 5.
You can grab your copy of Mr. Wonderful now on iTunes.

Kendrick Lamar Performs Surprise Show on Moving Truck in Hollywood [VIDEO]
Following the release of his major label sophomore effort, To Pimp a Butterfly , Kendrick Lamar celebrated the new album with an impromptu concert in West Hollywood on Tuesday night (March 24).
But instead of packing a bunch of fans into a tiny club, the rapper took his show to the streets and performed on the back of a flat-bed truck. Kendrick announced the show details on Twitter an hour before the event went down. “9pm. meet me here. 8950 Sunset Blvd. 930pm. meet me here. 8466 Melrose Ave,” he wrote. Fans didn’t know what to expect until they arrived.
In partnership with Reebok’s #GetPumped campaign, a brand he has partnered with for some time now, Kendrick performed tracks from his 2012 debut LP, good kid, m.A.A.d. city, and the new record. He also covered Tupac’s “Hail Mary.” As legions of fans ran after the truck with their phones out to record the moment, Kendrick also brought out Ab-Soul as a special guest. The ride was also customized with the TDE logo to rep the indie label he’s signed to.
