Riff Raff's Bodyguard Annihilates Another Fan at Michigan Concert [VIDEO]
A fan missed the memo that jumping onstage when RiFF RAFF is performing can be hazardous to your health. The rapper’s muscular bodyguards pummeled another overzealous fan who tried to interrupt his show in Michigan recently.
According to TMZ, RiFF RAFF was performing a song when a concertgoer jumped onstage behind him. It wasn’t long before a very large bodyguard grabbed the man and tossed him back into the crowd like a rag doll. Then another bodyguard jumped off the stage and chased the fan to give him a proper beatdown.
The gossip website reports that Adam, the offending stage violator, knew he was going to get beat up when he got up onstage. He was eventually escorted out of the venue by his neck. Adam claims he suffered bumps and bruises but he doesn’t plan on suing. Well, that’s nice of him, we guess.
At least it wasn’t as bad as the previous fan who was obliterated by a bodyguard after touching the rapper.
Thankfully, Adam is alive and well. Hopefully, other folks will think twice before trying this stunt. But we have a feeling that this is going to be a common occurrence at RiFF RAFF’s shows.

Tyler, the Creator's 'Cherry Bomb' Album Available for Streaming
A few days after performing at the Coachella Music Festival, Tyler, The Creator is allowing his fans to listen to his new album, Cherry Bomb. The Odd Future leader’s fourth studio project is available for streaming on Spotify.
The 14-track collection features one-word titled songs like “Buffalo,” “Run,” “2Seater” and “Smuckers,” among others. The album features cameos from Lil Wayne, ScHoolboy Q, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams.
One interesting song on the album is the distorted-sounding “Cherry Bomb,” which has a futuristic punk vibe to it. Another great track is “F—ing Young / Perfect,” which finds Tyler talking about falling in love with a girl who is six years younger than him. The second half, “Perfect,” features singer Kalis Uchis offering the girl’s point of view in the romantic scenario.
On “Smuckers,” Tyler partners with Yeezy and Weezy together for the first time on a song. Over chaotic productions, the eccentric rhymer spits celebratory rhymes. “Tyler the Creator sweatin’ Jesus juice / Put that f—in’ cow on my level, cause I’m raisin’ the stakes / Mom I made you a promise, it’s no more section 8 / When we ate its the steaks, now our section is great / ‘Cause that’s the level I’m at, my n—-s pass em a plate,” he raps.
According to XXL , physical copies of Cherry Bomb will feature five different covers much like he did with his the Wolf album in 2013. You can stream Tyler, The Creator’s new project below.

Lil Wayne Jumps on Future's 'F— Up Some Commas' Remix, Says 'No More Cash Money'
Lil Wayne is notorious for adding his own verses to some of the hottest tracks around. Take his remix of O.T. Genasis’ “Coco,” for instance. Now Tunechi is putting his Young Money touch on Future’s smash hit “F— Up Some Commas.”
Weezy jumps on the track, celebrating his new freedom from Cash Money. “Let’s f— up some commas, Tunechi / Let’s fuck up the future, Future / My homie just robbed the Uber / I get a discount on cruisers / Ain’t no more Cash Money, just money,” he rhymes.
The New Orleans native even takes another jab at Birdman rapping, “A n—- pull up every summer / They don’t call me Jr. no more / They call me the No. 1 stunna.”
With a $51 million lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money and his Tha Carter V album in limbo, Weezy is preparing to drop what he calls his best work to date with the Free Weezy Album, through his Young Money imprint.
Despite issues with his former mentor,l Wayne has been keeping his fans at bay with his Sorry 4 the Wait 2 mixtape and his Release Partiez club tour, which further exposes his beef with Baby. He recently made headlines for bashing Young Thug, who is planning on continuing Wayne’s Carter series with his new album, Carter Six.

Wale Tells a Cautionary Tale in 'The Girls on Drugs' Video
As Wale‘s The Album About Nothing continues to hold on to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, the rapper drops the visual for his Janet Jackson-inspired single “The Girls on Drugs.”
The Dre Films-directed video, which finds Wale telling the story of a woman’s battle with pills, kicks off with fit models of all shades of brown in scantily clad workout gear working on their fitness in the gym. As Wale’s verse comes in, the trio of ladies head from the gym to an apartment. A few shots and bong hits later, reality starts to set in that the ladies are in comedown mode before picking it all up again for a night on the town.
The feeling that they’re floating on euphoric clouds and a psychedelic lens trick also adds to the party girl theme of the video, providing cinematic elements to the storyline. Wale appears in the video during the club scene, accompanied by Cordell Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s son. The MC ends up hitting it off with one of the three original party girls. But the night turns sour, when he later chastises her about being a “scared little girl” who is possibly dabbling in drugs and the fast life to fit in on Instagram as she regurgitates the night’s poisons in bathroom stall.
In true Folarin fashion, the visuals are riddled in symbolism and metaphors. Watch Wale give a reminder that drugs are bad above.

Nike SB Dunk High x Concepts Stained Glass
You've seen it here first Nike SB Dunk High x @CNCPTS "Stained Glass" Size 9 $300

Sneaker collecting is a ministry and if you haven’t been to the altar of rubber and leather lately, Concepts is here to take you to church. Their latest collaboration with Nike is one of the more creative designs we’ve seen in a while and it is very worth of any praise thrust upon it.
With the Nike SB Dunk High as a canvas, they’ve placed an all-over print stained glass window design along the leather upper. The colorful mosaic nearly glows amidst the black portions and translucent wings ironically don’t get lost in the mix. The resulting shoe comes off as an absolute stunner overall.
A release date for this dual branded wonder hasn’t been announced, but Concepts needs to get them on shelves soon. We’re definitely ready to drop a little something in the collection plate, if you know what we mean.

Tina Knowles Marries Actor Richard Lawson on Yacht in California
Just days after Beyonce and husband Jay Z celebrated seven years of marriage, the singer’s mother Tina Knowles walks down the aisle for a second time in a ceremony that took place on a yacht Sunday (April 12).
Mama Knowles, 61, tied the knot to actor Richard Lawson aboard a 140-foot yacht in Newport Beach, Calif. The all-white floating ceremony was witnessed by a host of friends and family. Beyonce, Jay Z and Blue were all on hand for the joyous occasion. Newlyweds Solange and Allan Ferguson, and Solo’s son Julez were also by mom’s side.
The nuptials were exchanged at the top tier of the multi-level yacht. Images from the wedding first emerged on Sunday evening. According to TMZ, prior to the ceremony, Beyonce and her mom were seen arriving to the yacht around noon to make sure everything was perfect for her special day.
Bey shared an image of her mom and Lawson toasting to their union, which was posted in the “My Life” section of her official website.
This is the second marriage for the happy couple. She separated from Beyonce and Solange’s father, Mathew Knowles, in 2009 after three decades together. Tina Knowles began publicly dating Lawson in 2013, two years after her divorce from Mathew was finalized.

10 Hip-Hop-Inspired Apps
Everyone knows hip-hop has a major influence on society from fashion and lifestyle to food and liquor. Most of your favorite rhymers become money magnets by expanding their empires outside of the recording booth, giving consumers a special experience attached to their brand.
Over the years, Diddy has become synonymous with Ciroc, you can smell like hip-hop royalty with Jay Z Gold cologne and between his clothing line, countless fashion and beauty collabos, Pharrell has his hands in more pots than we can count.
But in today’s digital era, hip-hop and the people that embrace the culture are finding innovative ways to leave their imprint, particularly in the tech world. Mobile apps are the hottest new acquisitions for rappers. They allow their fans to have access, literally at their fingertips. Cam’ron has one, Kanye West is rumored to be creating one and Tyler, The Creator just announced his very own app.
Going techie is not a bad idea; some apps can rake in major cash. Nick Adler, the creator of Snoop Dogg’s Snoopify, confirmed the app was bringing in upwards of $30,000 per week in 2013. From emojis to apps that help you put together your own rap video, check out 10 hip-hop-inspired apps.
