Kendrick Lamar Brings Out Tech N9ne In Kansas City (Where No One Cared To See The ‘Yeezus’ Tour, Apparently)
Not the best footage, but during the Yeezus tour stop in Kansas City, Kendrick Lamar brought out hometown hero Tech N9ne to a crowd of 4,500….
….the problem with that number is that the arena holds 19,000. Pretty bad night for a couple of rap stars (you can read more about that here).
In late related news, Mr. West apparently also walked off the stage a few songs in in Tampa, FL due to issues with lighting.

B.o.B ‘Underground Luxury’ (Album Stream)
A week before the release of B.o.B’s third album Underground Luxury, he gives MTV his album to stream before it hits the stores on December 17th.
“I would have the best musical album out this year, like hands down,” the Hustle Gang rapper told MTV News. “That’s no knock to anybody, any of the greats like Jay and Kanye because I enjoyed their albums, but musically, what I put into this album is gonna be the best album this year.”

Kanye West: My Rap Career Is Just As Dangerous As Being A Police Officer
From TMZ:
First Tom Cruise, now Kanye West is comparing his profession to BEING AT WAR … saying just like soldiers and cops, HE PUTS HIS LIFE ON THE LINE when he goes to work.
Yeezus made the statements to Saturday Night Online this weekend, saying rapping is very dangerous work — “This is like being a police officer or something … or like war or something.”
“You’re literally going out to do your job every day knowing that something could happen to you.”
But Kanye says it’s not JUST the physical risks (he says he could slip on the stage) … KW also risks getting his feelings hurt — because people could watch a show and decide they don’t like him.
Yeah, just like a cop or a soldier.
Dizzee Rascal’s Home Invasion (Video)
Two lucky comp winners from ‘The Sun’ and ‘Capital Xtra’ won the ultimate fan prize with Dizzee Rascal performing in their front room exclusively for them! Up close and personal was the order of the day, with Dizzee’s entourage taking over the winner’s homes. Dizzee is more used to playing massive events, but had no problem banging out the hits including ‘Love This Town’ for probably his smallest crowd ever.

Sway Calloway Without A Hat On
Because we’ve all been wondering what is under that cap he always wears. While I’m sure he just has (had?) dreads under there I can’t find anything more recent than the early ’90s. The mystery prevails.
LIVE STREAM: South Africa Celebrates The Life Of Nelson Mandela
Currently in progress….you can check out more details on the memorial service here. From USA Today:
Police and the government were bracing Monday for a massive crush of mourners at a soccer stadium who will be met with high-level security measures for the heads of state attending the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
South Africa is initiating what the government described as its tightest security plan ever at FNB Stadium, where President Obama, his wife Michelle and numerous other world dignitaries will be present Tuesday for the memorial service.
“What we can say is … all the events and those who attend them are safe,” Collins Chabane, minister for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, told The Times, a local South African newspaper.
Military, police and intelligence services have all been activated, and free bus service is being made available to the hundreds of thousands of people expected to attend what may be the largest memorial service in decades.
FNB Stadium, named for a South African bank, seats 94,000 people but “overflow stadiums” have already been established because of the anticipated crowds arriving on a first-come, first-serve basis. The stadiums hold a total of about 125,000 people. Military helicopters and police armored vehicles will be positioned throughout the Gauteng province of Johannesburg.
The government said 59 heads of state confirmed their attendance at the service. South Africans expressed pride in the respect accorded Mandela, the former president who served 27 years in prison fighting a system of white rule that has since been abolished. He died Thursday at his home at age 95.
Mandela lived “so magnificent a life that it cannot be held in a grave,” the Rev. Mzwandile Molo of the Bethesda Methodist Church told The Times.

Sharkeisha Arrested (Details)
4umf reports:
The Harris County sheriff’s office said the foulmouthed bully was arrested last Thursday on charges of assault with bodily injury.
They didn’t identify her because she’s a minor.
The Nov. 19 attack allegedly started because of a dispute over a boy, ShaMichael’s family told Houston’s KHOU-TV. The sickening footage has since gone viral, inspiring snarky, shark-themed memes and a popular Twitter hashtag.
“The video’s just going and going,” ShaMichael ‘s mother, Olevia Henderson, told KHOU-TV.
“They’re making jokes, and they’re taunting. They’re glorifying the girl Sharkeisha, but they’re taunting my daughter at the same time.”
On the day of the attack, ShaMichael, a senior at Cypress Creek High School, said, she was lured to an apartment complex thinking she was going to pick up some of her stuff from friends.
She told KHOU-TV she had no idea Sharkeisha was upset with her.
“I was just in shock. I was like, ‘Oh my God. Did she really do this?’ You’re supposed to be my close friend,” she told the station.
“We were talking in school earlier that day,” she said. “She made it seem like there was nothing wrong with her. The vicious beating left her with a black eye and a split lip. Her mother told KHOU-TV she’s had trouble seeing out of one eye.
Video of the attack, meanwhile, has reportedly been viewed nearly 12 million times, according to KHOU-TV and other sources. ShaMichael and her mother said they are humiliated and wish the video would disappear.
“I’m going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life. How would you feel if that was your daughter or your son and it happened to them, how would you feel?” Henderson said.
