Killer Mike & El-P – Meow The Jewels (Trailer)


What the fuck? Mass Appeal says;

Thanks to all the fans who supported the Run The Jewels’ Meow the Jewels Kickstarter campaign, the cat sound-infused album is officially becoming a reality. Having reached the $45,100 goal with 11 days to spare, the campaign currently stands at $54,286.

What began as a joke has grown into a real project featuring an impressive list of collaborators including Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, Just Blaze, Zola Jesus, Dan the Automator, Alchemist, Baauer, Prince Paul, Boots, Nick Hook, skywlkr, and Solidified Sun. While there’s currently no release date for Meow The  Jewels, we’re all about to be blessed with a reworked version of RTJ2 featuring nothing but cat sounds sometime in the near future.

A unique project like this deserves an equally epic trailer, so watch the clip in the player above which features clips from movies such as Big Trouble in Little China, Pulp Fiction, a bunch of B-Rated movies, and a shitload of cats. The clip was created by Brooklyn-based artist Hectah, and you can find out more about the man behind the trailer here.

RTJ2 will be available on October 27 at all your favorite record stores, as well as in CD, LP and digital form via Mass Appeal Records. Preorder the album here, check tour dates below, and purchase tickets here.

I don’t know, maybe he was bored or something, but Drake decided to dedicate his last few tweets to a select few on the gangsta rap/club circuit (below)…

Alaskan TV Reporter Quits Her Job On Live TV (Like A Boss) (Video)

Spotted on the Independent:

KTVA reporter Charlo Greene quit her job on live TV last night, outing herself as the owner of an Alaskan cannabis club and declaring “f*ck it”.

Having grown weary of reporting the news, Green told viewers she would instead be putting all her energy into the fight to legalise marijuana in the state, having previously reported on the Alaska Cannabis Club without mentioning her connection to it.

In a jaw-dropping twist to the end of a segment she said: “Now everything you heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska.

“And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f**k it, I quit.”

The Alaska Cannabis Club, which connects medical marijuana cardholders with local growers, urged its Facebook followers to tune into KTVA earlier in the evening.

Following Greene’s mic drop, the main anchor could only stutter: “Alright we apologise for that….we’ll, we’ll be right back.”

Kanye West Stops Show Because Fan Won’t Stand Up — Because They Were In A Wheelchair

Hey, mistakes happen. This is definitely one of Kanye’s. From TMZ:

If you thought Kanye West refusing to perform until a wheelchair-bound concertgoer stood up sounded like an awkward scene … wait till you watch the cringeworthy video.

As we previously reported … the whole thing went down at the Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney, Australia Friday night — and shortly after he stopped rapping, the crowd started booing the person in a wheelchair.

Kanye clearly meant well … but it’s hard to watch the video without feeling bad for Yeezy’s fan.

Lil’ Mo Sends Shots At Prince, Who Sends A Shot Right Back

While at the Essence Jazz Festival, Lil Mo sent out the above Instagram post, which expressed her disdain for having to be moved out of the way to clear a path for Prince (who was a main act at the event). She then followed that up with a jab at his performance.

Not one to be trifled with (obviously), Prince then sent a message from his band’s Twitter account, presumably taking a direct shot at Lil’ Mo’s fashion sense (accompanied by a picture of Prince smirking). You can check out the messages in the above gallery.

Black Twitter Reacts To Kidd Cole On Catfish

Last summer this kid actually tried to get us to interview him while he was in D.C. After speaking with his management I started to believe he wasn’t really signed to G.O.O.D Music. So we didn’t do that interview. Fast forward to 2014, this kid was on the latest episode of Catfish on MTV where he scammed a girl who thought he was really signed to G.O.O.D Music. So you know it’s only right that Black twitter got in on this conversation. Take a look at these funny tweets in our gallery above.
