Ab-Soul Reflects on a Past Relationship in 'Closure' Video


Love is not easy, just ask Ab-Soul. In his new video for ‘Closure,’ he reflects on a former flame he can’t get out of his mind.


In the video, directed by Jerome D., the Top Dawg Entertainment rhymer engages in a sexual tryst with a beautiful woman. Afterward, he goes into the bathroom to reflect on his past relationship with an ex-lover.


“Things just ain’t the same no more / They just ain’t the same no more,” he warbles.


It would have been cool to see Jhene Aiko in the video since she provides the background vocals on the track. Nevertheless, the Soundwave-blessed beat slinks along and gives Ab-Soul the template to pour his heart out.


His album, ‘These Days…,’ will arrive in stores on Tuesday (June 24). The collection boast guest appearances from Action Bronson, Lupe Fiasco, Rick Ross and Black Hippy members Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock and ScHoolboy Q.



Hot Wheels: "Rich Kid of Instagram" Sees 4 Luxury Rides Burned



Self proclaimed "rich kid of Instagram" Aleem Iqbal is known for flossing luxury rides on his IG page, rides that his father, owner of Platinum Executive Travel, rents to customers. Apparently not everyone is a fan of his braggadocios ways, as four of these exclusive whips were recently set ablaze.


His parents' $441,000 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster was set on fire June 6th, and just a few days later three more rides, two Audi R8 Spyders and a Bentley Flying Spur, were torched as well.


Check out the extravagant rides from his IG account in the gallery above.


Do you think Iqbal will think twice before posting now? Sound off below.

Rapper ScHoolboy Q was not hurt in a shooting that occurred after a Nas concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver on Thursday (June 19). However, local authorities believe that the shooting was likely not a random act of violence.


“It does appear to be a targeted shooting rather than random,” said Jacki Kelley, a rep for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, on Saturday (June 21). “I don’t know that we have any understanding about why this occurred.”


As we previously reported, ScHoolboy Q, along with three men, were in a white SUV when an unidentified man with a rifle shot at them. The TDE rapper, and another man, were arrested and detained by police briefly but was later released.


According to the Associated Press, one man was released from Denver Health Medical Center on Friday (June 20) and two other men continue to receive treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.


On Saturday, a team of investigators continued to scour the scene for any evidence from the shooting. “We’re trying to identify and locate the suspect,” said Kelley.


ScHoolboy Q, whose real name is Quincy Matthew Hanley, went on Twitter Friday to inform his fans that he was safe and well.


“[I'm] str8…… don’t trip,” he tweeted. “And IM STILL GOING TO ICELAND 2MORROW, & NEW YORK WEDNESDAY.”


Nas and Flying Lotus also performed at the Red Rocks concert that benefited three charity groups, including the Gang Rescue and Support Project of Denver. Kelley said she did not know if Thursday night’s shooting was gang-related.
