Meek Mill Says Quentin Miller Slipped Him Drake's "Summer Sixteen" Lyrics

Just when you thought it couldn't get any wilder. You gotta be kidding. Have the tables turned? Meek Mill just responded to all the clamor surrounding his "War Pain" Drake diss, which all-too-coincidentally seemed to address the Drake track that premiered MINUTES earlier, by writing, "The ghost writer told me!" Did Quentin Miller, whose revealed identity started the whole beef in the first place, slip Meek the lyrics of Drake's new single, "Summer Sixteen." Couldn't be...

Drake Goes After Meek Mill, Barack Obama & Tory Lanez On "Summer Sixteen"

R&B Drake took a backseat tonight... Drake took no prisoners on his new single, "Summer Sixteen." No singing, no dancing -- just bitter raps directed at anyone whom he might consider a rival. Of course, that includes Meek Mill, whom he deals with in his opening verse. He reveals that he found out Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj were staying in the Toronto Four Seasons on the night that "Back to Back" dropped, and upon discovering the couple’s whereabouts, Drake and his crew booked a room directly above that of Meek and Nicki, and proceeded to blast "Back to Back" all night long. Funnily enough, Meek referenced the same scenario on a diss track of his own, "War Pain," that he released along with a new EP, 4/4 Part 2, shortly after the premiere of "Summer Sixteen." Head here to get a detailed look at that strange coincidence. He finishes with Meek after rapping, "You don’t have to say it louder n*gga / Trust, we heard you the first time." As far as the most high-profile target on Drake’s new record, that would have to Barack Obama. Hailing from north of the border, Drake obviously didn’t feel any qualms about going after the current U.S. President. "Tell Obama that my verses are like the whips that he in / They bulletproof," raps Drake early on in his opening verse. Why did he deliver shots against the leader of the free world? Because Obama, who has been vocal about his love for Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, recently voiced his opinion that K-Dot would best Drake in a one-on-one battle. Moving on to his fellow Canadians, Drake raps, "All you boys in the new Toronto want to be me a little." Many took this, and the ensuing lines, to be something off a shot taken at Tory Lanez, whose December mixtape is titled The New Toronto. Lanez may have created tension with Drake when he expressed his dislike of "the 6" as a nickname for Toronto -- one that has, of course, been popularized by the "6 God." To make things even more sensational, Meek Mill called out Drake for hating on his fellow Torontonian on "War Pain": "Tory from the 6, you hatin’ on him, Lord knows!" It might be unfair to call them disses, but Drake also namedrops Jay Z (whose status he says he has achieved), Kanye (whose pool isn't as big as his), and Chris Breezy (to whom he has comparable dance moves). OK, the last one was a little cruel.

Mike Will Made-It Delays “Ransom 2” For A Gucci Mane Feature

Mike Will is waiting on Gucci Mane before he drops the sequel to "Ransom." Unfortunately, Mike Will Made-It’s sequel to Ransom won’t be releasing today as originally planned, but according to his excuse, the setback maybe well worth the wait. Taking to twitter Friday afternoon, the ATL producer revealed that he’s postponing Ransom 2 because he’s waiting on Gucci Mane. Not only is the Trap God set to make a feature, which he needs a couple days to complete, but Mike Will just announced that he’s also hosting the tape now as well. Showing his loyalty, Guwop was the first artist to give Mike Will his shot, so it’s only right he hold off for the man who helped him get to where he's at today.

Kanye West Is Charlamagne's Donkey Of The Day

Charlamagne names Kanye West the "Donkey of the Day" for yesterday's Twitter rant against Wiz Khalifa. After the Twitter mess that ensued yesterday, you knew someone was gonna be hit with Charlamagne's notorious "Donkey of the Day" snub this morning, and that someone was Mr. West. A quick recap what went down: On Tuesday night, Kanye changed his album title from SWISH to WAVES, and Wiz Khalifa thought taking the latter title was disrespectful to the incarcerated Max B, whose legacy is defined by the word "wavy." The next day, after Wiz tweeted about "KK" (Khalifa Kush), Kanye thought shade was being thrown at his wife (Kim Kardashian), and he proceeded to go on a 30-something tweet rant, during which he claimed ownership of Wiz' son with Amber Rose. Unsurprisingly, Kanye is a past Donkey of the Day recipient, and Charlamagne prefaced this morning's edition with a soundbite of 'Ye reacting quite positively to receiving the dishonor. The ultimate offense 'Ye committed yesterday, according to Charlamagne, was his knee-jerk reaction to Wiz tweeting "KK," which sparked the entire rant. "This is the equivalent of sending your mom or your dad abbreviations, and they don't know what the hell you're talking about," said Charlamagne, who believes Kanye took the "L" from that point forward: "This whole rant is null and void because the basis of what set it off is the OG not understanding the young boy's slang." Charlamagne went on to criticize some of the insults Kanye directed at Wiz, including that he got trapped by a stripper, meaning Amber Rose, who also happens to be 'Ye's former girlfriend. Charlamagne feels that if Wiz got trapped by a stripper, then it's fair to say that Kanye "got trapped by an amateur porn star," referring to Kim's infamous sex tape with Ray J. After 'Ye simmered down yesterday, Amber Rose happened to swoop in and grab the last word by calling him a "#FingersInTheBootyAssBitch," an insult Charlamagne thinks Yeezy deserves for starting his entire rant off on a false premise.

Stream Gucci Mane & Zaytoven's "Mama's Basement" Mixtape

Listen to some unreleased songs from Gucci Mane & Zaytoven in "Mama's Basement." As if today wasn't already crazy enough, Gucci Mane just dug into the vaults and decided to share some unreleased songs he recorded with Zaytoven years ago back when he was living in his Mama’s Basement. Released via Soundcloud, the project consists of nine never-before-heard songs from Gucci Mane, all of which are produced by Zaytoven obviously. Serving as the follow up to East Atlanta Santa 2, Mama’s Basement should definitely keep the fans & streets on lock while we wait for Guwop’s release from prison, which will hopefully be sooner than later.

Young Thug Says He Recorded 40 Songs With Kanye West

According to Young Thug, he and Kanye West have recorded 40 songs together. Following up his visit at Sway’s Morning Show earlier this week, Young Thug decided to stop by the Power 105 studios and chop it up with queen of NYC airwaves, Angie Martinez, for another rare, but very informative interview. Sitting down for over 30 minutes (with Lyor Cohen by his side), Thugger talked about the Lil Wayne bus shooting (again), beefing with Plies over video of his daughter, upcoming projects, including SS3, an 8-song EP that’s on the way, and more. But what really caught our attention was Thugger’s work with Kanye West, which he couldn’t talk too much about due to papers he signed from ‘Ye, but did announce that they’ve recorded about forty songs together. Yes, 40. “Man there’s like 40 songs. Way more than an album.” “We’ve been working for like three years.” –Thugher says about working with 'Ye

Tyga Says Kanye West Helped Him Squash Beef With Drake

According to Tyga, it was Kanye West who helped him and Drake settle their feud. To promote his newly-released Rawwest Nigga Alive mixtape & its accompanying tour, Tyga made his way by the Real 92.3 studios in LA Tuesday night and sat down for an informative new interview. During the chat, T-Raww decided to open up about the tension between him and Drake. Calling everything “cool” now, Tyga revealed that is was Kanye West who played a part in the two burying the hatchet. He says, “Ain’t no tension…we cool. We on good terms. He [Kanye] put us in a room together when he was doing his fashion show…we gave each other a hug and just chopped it up,” he later added. “If somebody’s not taking anything away from you, your family or from your then you should never have a problem, as a man.”

One Of Future’s Bodyguards Reportedly Shot & Killed In Georgia

One of Future's bodyguard was reportedly shot in his own home in Georgia Monday afternoon. Sadly, one of Future’s bodyguards, Michael Tanner Phillips, was shot & killed today in his own home in Jonesboro, Goergia around 1:30 p.m Fox 5 Atlanta reports. The gunman fled the scene in a vehicle, but details on who that might be or what the car looked like is unknown at the time. Lieutenant Frank Thomas of the Clayton County Police Department made the following statement, "Some of the neighbors heard some arguing and some gunshots. We're still interviewing some of them to try and piece together everything at this time." Phillips’ wife, who happens to be currently pregnant, was reportedly at home at the time of the shooting, but thankfully didn't witness it.

Chris Brown Won’t Face Charges In Las Vegas Battery Case

Chris Brown won’t be charged for allegedly “punching” a woman at a NYE after party. Well it looks like Chris Brown won’t be charged in the case against the woman who accused him of “punching” her and taking her cellphone at an NYE after party at the Palms Casino Resort. According to Billboard, District Attorney Steve Wolfson said there wasn't enough evidence to seek misdemeanor battery and theft charges on Chris. This shouldn’t be much of surprise as this was a money-hungry women & situation from the beginning. If you remember, Chris put her on blast for trying to stir up drama with Jason DeRulo back in August (see clip below). He even had plans to sue her to prevent such accusations in the future, but it’s unknown if that was followed through or not.

Blac Chyna Is Hooking Up With Rob Kardashian

Blac Chyna has finessed her way into the arms of Rob Kardashian. Blac Chyna, a.k.a. Amber Rose's BFF, mother of Tyga's child, and hopeful mother of Future's child, has finessed her way into social media prominence. This morning, she shared to Instagram one of her greatest coups yet: Rob Kardashian. Chyna posted a picture, captioned "The beginning," of her cuddled up with a heavily tatted arm. It didn't take long for her followers to identify the arm as that of Rob Kardashian, the mediaphobic brother of Kim Kardashian and half-brother of Kylie Jenner, who of course is dating Blac Chyna's former paramour Tyga. Who got the better end of this deal: Blac Chyna or Rob Kardashian?

Danny Brown Hints At New Album, Lists Favorite Projects From Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar & Young Thug

The rapper also gives an update on his upcoming follow-up to "OLD". Danny Brown has been quiet for a minute, but it seems he may have something big planned for 2016. The rapper, whose last project was 2013's two-faced opus, OLD, granted fans a Q&A on Twitter, answering questions both as an artist and a fan. The rapper hinted at a new album, which he seemed to be preparing to promote sometime soon. He also confirmed that the structure of the project would be much different from the two very distinct sides of OLD, promising the album is "all fucked up" in terms of sequencing. Danny also answered some questions about his favorite albums from a few different artist, reporting that his go-to Ye albums are Late Registration and Yeezus, while he prefers Section.80 to Kendrick Lamar's other work. As for Young Thug, who Brown has been praising for a while now, he picked early fan favorite I Came From Nothing 2 as the rapper's best. Always having his ear to other genres, Danny named Sufjan Stevens' tribute to his parents, Carrie & Lowell and Natalie Prass' self-titled album as his top picks for 2015, going on to praise Sufjan's very personal songwriting. Elsewhere he credits Sauce Twinz with his favorite rap of the year, praises Macklemore's "White Privilege II," and says he "laughed real hard" at Kid Cudi's last album. He closes things off by answering a fan's question about his Twitter activity, wondering if the Q&A meant the album was on its way. The rapper replied, "Nah I was just bored on the plane". We're still holding out hope.

Meek Mill Advises Irv Gotti On 50 Cent Beef: "Let Him Drown Hisself"

The Instagram battle continues. Last we checked in on 50 Cent's revived feud with Irv Gotti (itself an off-shoot of his IG argument with Meek Mill), Irv had accused the rapper of being a police informant back in the thick of G-Unit and Murder Inc.'s famous beef. His evidence wasn't exactly rock solid, but he did get a rise out of 50, who fired back with a cheap shot at Irv's father, coinciding with a post Gotti had written about celebrating his old man's birthday. "IRV said he a grown man and his father 82. Tell you daddy I said to hurry up and die punk. Lets get to it no more IG," wrote 50, later deleting his post. While we saw no retaliation form Irv, Meek did sneak back into the conversation with some advice in the Murder Inc. mogul's IG comments, writing, "Let him drown hisself he showing his cards!" Naturally, this didn't get by 50, who took a screencap of Meek's remark and posted it up on his own Instagram, captioning the pic with a threat. "I see you bitch, you don't want no parts of me, girl," he taunted. "I'm watching you, now be the same when I see you". This post has also since been deleted.

Kanye West Hits Studio With Swizz Beatz & Kendrick Lamar

Kanye West was posted up in the studio with a couple of G.O.O.D. friends. Last week we received our G.O.O.D. Friday release a tad late, because Kanye West jetted off to Italy for a Yeezy Season 3 fitting. This Friday, though, all signs are pointing to the fact that we should receive our G.O.O.D. Friday record on time, if only because Kanye was hard at work in the studio last night. The rapper took to Twitter to share a photo of Swizz Beatz seated in front of a mic and a laptop, captioning it, "the monster." CyHi The Prynce followed suit with his own share of a studio pic, as did Swizz on Instagram. Oh yeah, Kanye also shared a photo with Kendrick Lamar, citing that Madlib gave them "6 beat CDs."

Lil Wayne & Birdman Spotted In Studio With Yo Gotti

Birdman and Lil Wayne hit the studio together last night. With Birdman and Lil Wayne putting their beef behind them, it was only a matter of time before they hit the studio together. There were rumblings that the two had made up after they celebrated New Year's Eve together, and later, they partied/announced their reconciliation at Club LIV. Next stop, studio. Birdman posted a photo of the two, plus "Down in the DMs" connoisseur, Yo Gotti, in the studio last night. He captioned the photo "studio flow" followed by ample hashtags, notably including #YMCMB4LIFE (and also: #blatt).

DJ Drama Is Adamant He Did Not Leak Drake Reference Track

DJ Drama says he's not the person who leaked the Drake/Quentin Miller reference track. Quentin Miller was thrusted into the rap limelight this past summer, when his name was dragged into the now-infamous Meek Mill and Drake ghostwriting beef. It happened to jump-start his personal rap career, though (perhaps to the ire of those he'd previously been ghostwriting for), and he's since released multiple records. While Drake came out basically unscathed from the rap beef, there was still the matter of Quentin Miller's leaked reference track, however for the most part, that's been pushed to the back of our minds. It was a hot topic for a minute though, with Funk Flex being the one who aired it, but ultimately, fingers pointing to DJ Drama as the leaker. By fingers pointing, I mean DJ Drama's ex-wife. The Gangsta Grillz host has now gone on record to deny leaking Drake's reference track while talking to Elliott Wilson and B. Dot during the RapRadar podcast. "I definitely am not no leaker of no records," he tells them. "The records that I put out, I put out records that people give me blessings to put out. I gotta lay that to rest. None of that shit was from me." He continued to expand, "My thing more than anything in what we've learned from the whole thing is how powerful social media is. It's like The Force. It can be used for the Dark Side or it can be used for the Good Side. With respect to those guys, that's not really my story to tell. They're gonna have to tell that story. They're gonna have to come and say what it was."
