AngelGold Taps Too $hort for 'Get On It'

Complex premiered the new track, which features, AngelGold shining like her bro and getting the party started with a catchy hook over a bass and snare heavy beat. “Talking all that s— like what you gonna do now?/ Take you on the floor what you gonna do now? / Get on it, on it, on it, yeah,” she sings on the hook.
While she brings the dance and party element, Too $hort steps on the track, adding just the right amount of raunchy rhymes to take this track from a two-stepper to twerk mode. “You can slide through you and me and my suit / I beat the p—-y up like Su and YG / I don’t talk this s— man I walk this s—, he rhymes.
“Get On It” is the first song from AngelGold’s debut EP Afterhours. We’ll also hear more from the songstress on her Ty’s upcoming album, Free TC.

Top 10 Eazy-E Songs
Twenty years ago today (March 26, 1995), rap icon Eazy-E died at the age of 31 from complications related to AIDS. The founder of N.W.A and Ruthless Records, Eazy-E (born Eric Wright) was both business and music savvy enough to flip illegal drug profits into a multi-million dollar rap empire.
During his rise in the rap game, the Compton native released three solo albums and launch the careers of numerous rap legends, most notably, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Eazy-E may not always get the recognition of other deceased legends, but he is just as important to the fabric of hip-hop as we know it.
So we decided to share the ten tracks from Eazy-E’s discography that we feel best represent who he was as an artist. So check out the Boombox’s Top 10 Eazy-E Songs list.
The It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa album track "Real Compton G's" may get all of the love, but the scathing "It's On" may be just as deadly. On the song, Eazy-E spits vitriol at Dr. Dre. "Well, if it's on motherf---er, then it's on, G / Now, if it's on hey, Mr. Prankster, Prankster, storybook gangsta / Back in '86, you was in pumps and mascara," he raps. "It's On" proves that Eazy was far from easy pickings and was as formidable as his former partner in the art of war.
On the uptempo cut, "Nutz on Ya Chin," Eazy-E's flow fits like a glove over the production and sees him as raunchy as ever on the hook, chanting "Nutz on ya chin / Since you put yaself on my d---, I put my nutz on ya chin." Included on the pothumous album, Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton, "Nutz On Ya Chin" is bittersweet in that it is an example of the musical evolution that Eazy-E had yet to complete before his untimely death, but stands as a gem of a cut in his discography.
"Sorry Louie" sees Eazy-E exacting vengeance on those plotting on his riches and his life. Weaving three tales of his murderous encounters, the late rapper manages to remain nihilistic, even in the afterlife.
"Only If You Want" was the first single off Eazy-E's 1992 EP, 5150: Home 4 tha Sick. The five-track effort saw Eazy venturing out from the classic production of Dr. Dre and experimenting with his own sound. Calling in Naughty By Nature for reinforcement - who penned and produced "Only If You Want" - Eazy proved that he would not be stopped and continued to deliver his brand of gangsta rap.
Eazy-E made an instant impression on his debut single, "Eazy-Duz-It," the title track off of his Ruthless Records debut. Produced by Dr. Dre, Eazy rides the "funky bass" and spitting, "Well, I'm Eazy-E, I got bitches galore / You might have a lotta bitches, but I got much more." Clearly, Eazy was laying down his Compton steez all over the track.
Following Dr. Dre's departure from N.W.A. and his shots at Eazy-E on The Chronic, his one-time mentor decided to take the gloves off on his response cut, "Real Compton G's." "Hey, Doctor, here's another proper track and it's phat / Watch the sniper, time to pay the piper," he raps. Eazy also disses Snoop Dogg and questions Dre's credibility. While the two would eventually bury the hatchet before Eazy's death, this cut remains one of the most underrated diss songs of all-time.
Another offering from 5150: Home 4 tha Sick, "Neighborhood Sniper" saw Eazy-E teamed up with Kokane and Col187um and continue his warpath with a reggae-tinged song perfect for committing a lyrical homicide. Giving listeners a vivid crime-thriller in audio form, "Neighborhood Sniper" stands as an underrated track in the late rap mogul's discography.
The third single from Eazy-Duz-It, "We Want Eazy" features MC Ren and Dr. Dre. The song gives listeners the experience of what it's like to be in the front row at an Eazy-E concert. After getting introduced by Ren and Dre, Eazy pops up on the track, rapping, "A mircale, modern creation / Eazy-E's on the set, hyped up with the bass and / A little bit of what you love from a brother that's smooth as a criminal / I mean subliminal." The accompanying video is a classic as well, with Eazy rocking the show via live stream from a jail cell before bursting through the bars and rapping onstage in grand fashion.
"My name is Eazy, yeah, this is true / Keeping your attention is what I'm about to do / Hardcore, yo, I could never be soft / Ask 'em am I def and they say the boy goes off." With those opening bars, Eazy-E kicks off the street-wise track "Eazy Er Said Than Dunn." Utilizing samples of "Scratching" by the Magic Disco Machine and "The Breakdown" by Rufus Thomas," Dre and DJ Yella provide the sinister soundbed for the Compton pioneer to get his cold chilling on.
"Boyz In Da Hood" is one of the most influential songs in the history of gangsta rap. Produced by Dr. Dre, the track is, arguably, the most popular tune in Eazy-E's discography. And even though it was against Eazy's wishes for us to quote him, we can't help but to still recite his timeless lyrics twenty years after his death, which is a testament to the legend's genius.

Slim Thug Ruins Credit After Having Sex With Real Estate Agent
If you are trying to build good credit and be financially smart, Slim Thug has a story for you. The Houston rhymer wrote a cautionary piece for the New York Times of a situation that led him down the path of financial problems.
In his story, Thug details his plan to sell his five-bedroom house in order to buy another home under the short-sale assistance program initiated by the Obama Administration. The “Like a Boss” rhymer hired a real estate agent, who was a woman, to assist him. Unexpectedly, their relationship went from business to romance.
After a couple of years, things went sour when Thug and the relator’s love affair ended in bitter fashion.
“I ended up in foreclosure. So not only did I lose out on money from a potential sale, but I ruined my credit as well,” he writes. “I’ve suffered financially from not being able to do business in my own name and probably lost around $200,000 directly and indirectly through my mistake.”
This life lesson has helped Slim Thug be more professional when it comes to his business. “This is one of the many mistakes that led me to talking more about money as part of my work,” he states. “It’s 2015, and my credit still isn’t the same. Neither is my net worth, but the lesson I learned is certainly priceless.”

10 Rappers & Singers Promoting Unexpected Products
Rita Ora Goes Braless in Sheer Top While Out in London [PHOTO]
Rita Ora likes to take fashion risks but also likes to be comfortable. And it looks like the R&B singer decided to combine both concepts and go braless during a recent night out in London.
After performing with friend and collaborator Charli XCX at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Wednesday (March 25), the “I Will Never Let You Down” singer changed into an all black outfit that put her breasts on display. If you’re wondering how a black top could do that, it seems her top was a lot sheerer than anyone anticipated, especially photographers who snapped away at the blond-haired singer.
U.K. tabloid The Daily Mail reported this to be a wardrobe malfunction. However, we believe that this was purely intentional. Ora has been known for trying new things whenever she hits the red carpet. And along with her super short outfits, she’s also not shy about flaunting her cleavage.
Sure, this might be a step further than a good old-fashion low neckline, but she’s not shy about letting the girls out. She even voiced being a supporter of the “Free the Nipple” movement when she posted a photo on Instagram in a T-shirt that that has a photo of bare breasts as she grabs her own. Then earlier this week, she was photographed wearing the same tee.
All we can say is more power to her. But what do you think of Rita’s braless look? Tell us in the comments below.

Amber Rose Goes Topless in Maui [PHOTO]
If only this beach was actually Topless #Maui
A photo posted by Amber Rose (@amberrose) on Mar 25, 2015 at 3:03pm PDT
Amber Rose isn’t shy when it comes to showingoff her body, and who can blame her? In her latest set of Instagram photos, Wiz Khalifa’s ex proves she’s just as comfortable with her clothes on as she is with them off.
While on vacation in Maui, the singer-actress shared some hot nude photos of herself lying on the beach. With nothing but her shades and a belly chain under her bellybutton, she wishes that the beach was a clothes optional kind of spot. But keeping things PC, she covered (or at least tried to) her breasts to avoid any nip slip action.
“If only this beach was actually Topless #Maui,” she captioned one photo.
Amber didn’t only give us a frontal view but also made sure not ignore her backside, which you can see below,e and proved to all the haters that her derriere is real. Amber definitely has got it; so why not flaunt it, right?
She also posted a video where she sings along to PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Recognize.” While she’s doing grooving more to the song than actually singing it, she proves that she can exude sexiness even from the neck up. You can see the video below.
She has continuously been ridiculed for posting sexy photos of herself on social media From Kanye West to the commenters who throw negative comments on her social media, Amber has tried not to let that get to her too much and show that she is proud of her body and sexuality.
However, Amber also doesn’t want to just let the haters slide. In a recent interview, she spoke about her plans regarding a Slut Walk event this summer. In hopes to empower women and give them a voice to take control of their own sexuality and what they want to do with it, she hopes that this will not only connect with other females who have been subjected to what she has gone through but also help put a stop to bullying on social media.

Nike LeBron 12 CLE
Things are heating up for the Nike LeBron 12 as carbon fiber, one of our favorite materials, has been tossed into the mix. With this latest drop however Nike also pays homage to the hero’s hometown by way of colorway.
For this version of LeBron’s shoe the foam exoskeleton is covered in carbon fiber as well making it even more indestructible. Those black accents are met with hits of gold and orange for full on Cavalier pride that reps his set to the fullest. In case you thought the colorway was a fluke look no further than the pull-tab, which has the city’s airport code CLE stitched into it.
This is an early look and unfortunately Nike doesn’t have a release date set for this shoe yet. The rumor mill is saying that we should look out for them in June, which feels so close yet so far.

Did Bow Wow and Erica Mena Get Married?
The wedding bells are ringing much louder for Shad “Bow Wow” Moss and his fiancee Erica Mena.
The former 106 & Park co-host gave a very special shout out to the Love & Hip Hop star as she tried on a beautiful white wedding dress, sharing his sentiments on Facebook.
“Its an honor to see where you started to where your at now. To watch a woman grow and teach her the lessons on business and life and watch her take teachings i give and can execute it is priceless. YOUR POWERFUL! I seen your growth since we made it official. This that forever love. This that ill starve so you can eat love. This that ill put the NBA2k down for you love hahaha !!!

The image that accompanies the caption looks to be a shot of a TV screen, on which Mena appears. Could their wedding day be televised for the world to see?
Even though Bow, who’s now acting on the hit TV show CSI: Cyber , posted the pictures on his Facebook account, Global Grind is reports that the couple have not yet tied the knot. Mena told the site, “I couldn’t be better. Honestly this is the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m truly grateful.”
As you may recall, Mena announced that she and Bow were engaged during an interview with This Is 50 on the 2014 BET Awards red carpet. When interviewer Jack Thriller asked if Bow Wow was really her boyfriend, she replied, “He’s actually my fiance.”
The rapper and Mena seem to be a great pair so far. The former Mr. 106 & Park is using his business and life lessons to help Mena with her clothing line, simply called Her.
Its an honor to see where you started to where your at now. To watch a woman grow and teach her the lessons on business…
