TIME Mag Calls Jay Z "Out Of Touch" for TIDAL Press Conference
Jay Z is currently on a mission to convince the public that his newly acquired TIDAL streaming service is a better deal than Spotify and other competing services, but many aren't convinced it's anything more than a ploy to line the pockets of already rich artists.

Beyonce Debuts Anniversary Song 'Die With You' Dedicated to Jay Z
In honor of their 7th wedding anniversary, which is today (April 4), Beyonce unveiled a new song dedicated to her hubby Jay Z. “Die With You” is not a morbid tune, but rather a touching ode to Queen Bey’s undying devotion to Hov.
The 33-year-old singer premiered the new tune (and music video) first on her hubby’s new streaming service TIDAL. The song later trickled out in various formats on social media.
In the video, Mrs. Carter is at the piano gently playing the ivories and singing about her husband. “Darling I wake up just to sleep with you / I opened my eyes so I can see with you / I live so I can die with you,” she sings on the hook.
At the end of the video, Beyonce yells, “Yeah, thank you!” to the camera man who happens to be Jay Z. Awww, isn’t that sweet?
You can watch the video here if you have a TIDAL account, and if you don’t have one, then what are you waiting for?
If you are not ready to pay just yet, you can listen to the song below.

Tech N9Ne Reveals Eminem Collaboration on 'Special Effects' Album
Technicians rejoice! After years of trying to to secure a rap duet with Eminem, Tech N9Ne has finally got it done. The Kansas City rhymer revealed that he and Slim Shady will appear on a new song that will appear on his upcoming album, Special Effects.
Tech appeared on Sway in the Morning last Thursday (April 2) talk about his fifteenth studio album. That’s when he dropped the big news that Em will appear on the song “Speedom (WWC2),” which also features Krizz Kaliko. Tech also confirmed the news on social media and on his official website.
The “Speedom (WWC2)” track will premiere on Sway In The Morning on April 20.
The Tech N9Ne-Eminem collaboration has been years in the making. In a 2011 interview with the Boombox, the “Fragile” rapper explained what it would take for him and Em to collab.
“The beats say everything. The beats say, “OK, this is Eminem,” he explained. “That happens every once in a while, doesn’t happen all of the time. They say, “When you gonna get Em on a song?” [and] I say, “I don’t know, whenever the beats tell me to.”
“I’m not tryin’ to just get people on songs to get their fans, or get recognition or ‘Oh, I got a song with Eminem, now I’m there,” he continues. “No, motherf—er! It’s because of rhyme skill. If I feel like I’m right there, I’ll say, ‘Let’s do it, let’s collab together.’ The fans just wanna hear it to see who do the best.”
Tech N9Ne’s Special Effects album will arrive in stores on May 4.

Nike Air Max 90 Ultra BR Pack
Nike may have won us over with their Air Max line a long time ago but that won’t stop them from trying to sell us on them like they are still new shoes. This time the Nike Air Max 90 is given a bit of a boost in not one but two simple yet effective colorways.
The Nike Air Max 90 Ultra BR is a sleek, perforated style shoe that maintains a clean aesthetic throughout. Dressed in either white or black hyperfuse with tonal mesh toe boxes, the lightweight sneaker will keep your “basics” bases completely covered. The gum-tipped outsole turn these from plain to perfection and makes an otherwise normal colorway a classic.
These kicks won’t drop for another month but come May 1 you’ll be able to grab a pair from select Nike retailers including Footsell.
We don’t have pricing information but it doesn’t even matter, these shoes are the perfect cop for the summer season.

Ashanti's Sister Shia Gets Dragged on Twitter for Birthday Outfit [PHOTO]
Ashanti has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to fashion. However, her sister, Shia Douglas, not so much. The budding fashion designer is getting roasted for an outfit she wore to her 26th birthday party.
In the photo above, you can see that her ensemble is not very flattering on her. However, Shia did post photos of her outfit on her Instagram page, which gives us a full view of what she wore at the party.
Shia, who runs her own clothing brand Dymes Only, donned an all-gold short set ensemble with matching black bra and heels with straps that go all the way up to her thighs. While the outfit maybe too revealing for the birthday girl, it’s certainly daring to say the least.

“Ashanti’s sister wearing that ill fitting bra, her makeup and that underbra meat was the most offensive,” tweeted one person. Another commenter wrote, “These comments about Ashanti’s little sister are mean. Y’all sure know how to drag someone’s confidence.”

UBIQ x Pony Slam Dunk Hi 'Opening Day'
Baseball fans are a few days away from getting their sport back and Philadelphia’s UBIQ isn’t going to let the occasion pass them by. They’ve teamed up with Pony to craft a sneaker with a colorway imbued a very stylish take on hometown pride.
The Pony Slam Dunk Hi is the target of this drop and UBIQ hits the mark by way of a maroon and teal suede build that would make any Phillies fan swoon. The silhouette gets trimmed in leather with a white midsole and honestly this high quality tribute to the city’s MLB team is enough to make their rivals rock them with a grain of salt.
These drop at UBIQ on Saturday (April 4) and will be available both in-store and online. You can cop them for $90 a pair which is roughly the same cost as an order of nachos and two beers at an MLB baseball game.
Rihanna Accused of Stealing 'Bitch Better Have My Money'
Rihanna’s latest single “Bitch Better Have My Money” maybe not be so original after all. Apparently, a Houston rapper by the name of Just Brittany has a song that sounds similar to the R&B singer’s tune.
BILLBOARD is reporting that fans of Just Brittany are pointing out the similarities of the Houston rapper’s 2014 track “Better Have My Money” and Rihanna’s song. While the hook maybe the same, compositionally, both tunes feature different melodies.
The Just Brittany Twitter fan page posted a tweet addressing the alleged jacking of the song and then deleted it. The message read: “ATTN: @itsjustbrittany “Betta Have My Money” been on iTunes jacked by @rihanna Wake Up.”
Both RiRi and Just Brittany have not commented on the song discrepancy. However, Brittany did post a 15-second clip on her Instagram account showing herself counting fake money while her song plays in the background.
Are we looking at another “Blurred Lines” case? Quite possibly if Brittany goes the legal route.
On a side note, Just Brittany was recently featured in XXL Magazine’s “Eye Candy” feature. According to the mag, the Houston native was first discovered by Birdman in 2009 and has released a slew of mixtapes and singles, including her latest “A Drug Called Love.”
