BET.com to Premiere a Hot New Original Web Series "8 DAYS A WEEK"

BET.com to Premiere a Hot New Original Web Series “8 DAYS A WEEK” on Wednesday, August 24 at 8:00 P.M.*

The 10-part dramedy-style web series, based on the critically acclaimed book series The Come Up by New York Times bestselling author Lyah Beth LeFlore, follows the lives of six urban youths navigating the perks and pitfalls of living life in the fast lane. Featuring up-and-coming musicians and artists, 8 DAYS A WEEK explores the harsh realities of trying to make it big in Hollywood.

HOV AND KANYE FIGHTING ?????


Trouble in paradise,

Word on the street is that dynamic duo Jay-Z and Kanye West are having some issues while mapping out the specifics for their forthcoming national tour. The New York Post is reporting that Jay is totally over West’s behavior.” Jay-Z is fed up with West’s antics, he doesn’t even want to be around him.”

According to inside sources, the two are disputing over the budget for their tour. Obviously Kanye plans to go above and beyond for his set of complete and utter flashiness, which could ring up a price tag of $400,000 per show, while Jay-Z wants to stay on the conservative side since he has some bills from Live Nation to pay back.

So“We were expecting them to come out together to perform a track from the album,” a source said. “They didn’t even go out together after the show.”

1st Hip Hop Emails

Please sit down for this.

Ah man, we’ve come a long way baby. With MTV celebrating their 30th birthday on Monday, VH1 dug into their archives and dusted off a 17 year old clip of Yo! MTV Raps host Fab 5 Freddy, explaining email.

It’s easy to laugh now, but watching this in 2011 is almost surreal. Who would’ve thought technology would’ve come so far that you can send an email, or access the internet for that matter, via your telephone. If you were lucky enough to even afford a computer, it took forever to log onto the ‘net. For Christ sakes, take look at that laptop Freddy’s using.

Reason for Letter about Watch the Throne Release #WTT

Hundreds of independent record stores in the U.S. have signed a letter criticizing music superstars Jay-Z and Kanye West for signing exclusive release deals with iTunes and Best Buy for their Watch the Throne collaboration.

Music’s dynamic duo have agreed to make the release available to iTunes customers on Aug. 8, four days ahead of everyone else, while Best Buy will exclusively sell the deluxe album till Aug. 23.

The Alliance of Independent Media Stores released a letter Friday saying the deals are “bad news” and asks the singing duo to reconsider allowing more than 1,700 indie retailers equal access to the record release on the same day as iTunes and Best Buy.

We were fortunate enough to recruit Top Dawg Entertainment recording artist Kendrick Lamar for a much anticipated performance at the 9:30 Club, making it his first-ever public show in the nation’s capital. The Compton standout is expected to sell out the 1200 capacity venue thanks to his loyal following in the DC metropolitan area. Kendrick will be joined on stage by fellow label mate Schoolboy Q as he cycles through his hits spanning from his early career to his most recent project, the critically acclaimed #Section80. Also sharing the spotlight for the evening are buzzing DMV natives Phil Adé and Phil Da Phuture, both signees of Grammy nominated crooner Raheem DeVaughn‘s 368 Music Group, as well as Houston’s own Ashton Travis, a lyrical mastermind recently crowned winner of the Hip-Hop Unplugged Series, hosted by Def Jam’s Lenny Santiago and MTV’s Sway. You never know who else may pop up, either…
Date: Friday, August 12, 2011
Location: 9:30 Club
815 V St. NW
Washington, DC 20009
Time: 8pm until close (Doors open @ 8, show starts @ 9)
