People Shot At Lil’ Flip’s 4/20 Concert (Video/Details)
Reports AllHipHop:
Two revelers celebrating the marijuana holiday “4/20″ were shot as rapper Lil Flip performed at a show in Denver, Colorado.
Thousands had gathered in Civic Center Park in Denver to celebrate, since marijuana has been legalized in Colorado.
Around 5:00pm, witnesses reported hearing four or five shots and a man, his dog and a woman were struck, as Lil Flip performed, according to reports.
“I saw him fall, grabbing his leg,” witness Travis Craig told The Associated Press. “He was just screaming that he was in pain, and wanted to know where his girlfriend was. She was OK. And then the cops showed up real quick, like, less than a minute. They put him on ambulance and left.”
The police presence was heavy due to the 80,000 attendees who were expected to attend the weekend celebration.
“I am just grateful that no one was seriously hurt…,” Lil Flip tweeted.
Police are seeking two suspects in the shooting, which was captured on aerial footage.
UPDATE: Lana Del Rey – Young & Beautiful
We already heard this in the film’s trailer, but below is a snippet of Lana Del Ray’s ‘Young & Beautiful’, which is taken from the upcoming film The Great Gatsby.
I don’t know if we’ll get to hear the full record before then, but the soundtrack to Gatsby (you know, the one that Jay-Z is spearheading) drops April 23rd (the movie premieres May 7th).
UPDATE: We’ve acquired the full record below. The soundtrack to The Great Gatsby drops May 7th.

SNIPPET: Beyonce & Andre 3000 – Back To Black
Out of the many snippets we’ve been catching from The Great Gatsby‘s soundtrack, this is probably the one that everyone is really looking for. While it’s only a snippet, I’m not quite sure they really did Amy Winehouse justice. Check it out for yourselves; you can still preorder the project here.
