Joseph is moving on from MTV. MTV's series  Catfish  is losing one co-host. Max Joseph is leaving the reality tv series after seven seasons, and he announced his departure via a statement released on Twitter. “Hey guys, the time has come, sadly, for me to move on from  Catfish . Working on this show for the last seven years has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’ve learned a lot about myself, my country and human nature in general," he wrote. "Nev and I have become brothers and our bromance has blossomed before your eyes." "For a while now I have been straddling two careers as TV host and filmmaker and, while this level of busy-ness is a dream come true, my life can no longer sustain it,” Joseph continued. “With  Catfish  still going strong after 7 seasons, 115 episodes, 31 specials and showing no sign of slowing down, I feel it is finally the time for me to make my exit." Schulman also released a statement regarding the depar...

It legit took seconds for the mogul to heat up. Dame Dash hopped on a call during the latest episode of  The  Joe Budden  Podcast . The rapper/host hit him up to ask him, "what exactly is a culture vulture and why is Lyor one?" Dame laughs before clearing his throat to share his thoughts about the term in relation to Lyor Cohen. "A culture vulture is someone that exploits the culture that he's not a part of, doesn't benefit the culture and takes care of his culture and has no respect for the culture he's exploiting [ ...] He's been making money off of our culture. He is not part of it. And he's been exploiting it, never helping, teaching, or anything. Doing what's in the best interest of his own pocket over the culture. And to add insult to injury, he is not accepted in his own culture. He cannot get no money in his own culture so he comes to ours, acts like a big cat, pretends we need him when we don't."  Dash names nepotis...

Missy Elliott's "funky white sister" steps to the mic with horn in hand.  In case you missed it, a woman by the name of Mary Halsey recently found viral glory while delivering a masterful rendition of Missy Elliot's "Work It." Packing what looks to be the Horn Of Helm Hammerhand from  Lord Of The Rings  in one hand and a microphone in the other, Missy's self-proclaimed "funky white sister" proceeds to throw down a clearly rehearsed rendition of the bawdy, iconic hit.  As it plays out, it becomes difficult to assess whether one should be cringing or respecting the genuinely faithful rendition. The woman even masterfully slips into backwards-speak with surprising efficacy. And don't worry, she doesn't spare some of the song's more x-rated moments, including the iconic pre-date grooming ritual. Rest assured, the park was alive with unspoken energy on that particular afternoon. With the clip gaining viral traction, it didn...

The singer says they form a "dream team" Rita Ora  has been serving looks since her breakout track "Hot Right Now" and she has clearly kept it up now that she is officially making a move in the fashion world. The singer announced to her following that she will officially be working as a model. A photo was posted to Instagram showing her and the legend that is Kate Moss posing together casually. The caption is breezy in positive: ✨Dream Team ✨ Excited to announce that I am now at @katemossagency."

Bennett says working with Thug was a very inspiring experience. Taylor Bennett is a huge  Young Thug  fan, and his appreciation for the rapper only grew stronger when he got a chance to work with him on his new project  Be Yourself . In a recent interview with Ebro for Beats 1, Bennett spoke of how Thug had inspired the project, down to the cover art, which he said was made with the  Jeffery  cover in mind. "Young Thug is a huge inspiration on this project," he said. "I don't mean that just off me solely really kicking it with him and linking with him to do the track."

Chance The Rapper's top three "Watch The Throne" tracks may open the floor for debate. Watch The Throne  is one of those magical albums, monumental in scope, yet enjoyable across the board. Borne of a simpler era, where brothers Jay-Z and  Kanye West  stood united, the album became a fan favorite immediately upon release. Now, on the album's seven year anniversary,  Chance The Rapper  has taken to Twitter to voice his selections for "top three" tracks. Like a true hipster, the man actually included a bonus track in his top tier rankings, so make of that what you will. Regardless, the omission of introductory cut "No Church In The Wild" is alarming to say the least. "Top 3 songs on WTT unquestionably," writes Chance: "Why I Love You, Gotta Have It, and The Joy." After being met with slight confusion, Chance took the opportunity to clarify that "The Joy's" status as a bonus track led to a decrease in listener...

Limited edition Kyrie 4 "Decades Pack" releasing this month. Over the last few weeks, images of some colorful Nike Kyrie 4s have surfaced, including a very '70s themed joint that was rumored to be another "Uncle Drew" colorway. As it turns out, the trio of eye-catching kicks, including the 70s-inspired pair, are part of an upcoming "Decades Pack" that will release sometime this month. According to  Nike , each of the kicks in the Kyrie 4 "Decades Pack" feature characteristics from three defining decades – the individual expressiveness of the '70s, the bold creativity of the '80s, and the childhood nostalgia of the '90s. Each shoe has design elements that point both to a decade and to a piece of Kyrie Irving's personality. Per  Nike , the Kyrie 4 '70s channel Irving's deft, dance-like handles through the psychedelic print on the quarter panel. The neon fluorescent patterns of the Kyrie 4 '80s honor Irving...

The rapper appeared on the Black Panther soundtrack. Top Dawg Entertainment has a new artist: Reason. While we don't know a whole lot about the emcee, who released his first song through the label today along with the announcement, we do know that he made an appearance on the  Kendrick Lamar  and Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith executive-curated  Black Panther  soundtrack, adding a verse to "Seasons."

Tekashi 6ix9ine going 9 for 9? Tekashi 6ix9ine  is as hot as ever, especially after the release of "FEFE." The track, which features  Nicki Minaj , launched to the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 making it his highest charting song ever. At this point, he's on fire and it's pretty clear that he isn't stopping any time soon. The rapper recently hit Instagram with a snippet of his upcoming track and it looks like he's aiming to go 9 for 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Tekashi 6ix9ine has teamed up with latin trap artist Annuel AA for his upcoming single. The rapper took to Instagram to share a snippet of the song. "ITS TIME FOR THAT 9 FOR 9 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 NO ENGLISH ON THIS ONE 🚫🚫🚫 ANOTHER ONE FOR THE BILLBOARD," he captioned the clip.

K. Michelle also shares one thing Idris was very good at... Once upon a time ago,  K. Michelle  was linked to Idris Elba in a relationship she says "was like a movie." The exes met at the Soul Train Music Awards in 2013 after Michelle won Best New Artist. They exchanged numbers and their love affair began. Chatting with  Hollywood Unlocked , the "Can't Raise A Man" singer explained how she kept their business on the down low, not wanting to seem like she was using him for fame.  “We would go out [but] I didn’t talk about [the relationship]," she said. "I wanted him to know that I wasn’t trying to pull anything. I never wanted to be that girl. Everyone around me knew, his management, my management. He was so charming, it was like a movie.” Although Idris seemed like the perfect man, there was one thing he told Michelle he couldn't do. “He told me, he would never be committed to one woman. He said I would be taken care of, I would be fine ...

Slime Season is in full effect.  Young Thug is one of the most prolific artists of our time. His relentless work ethic from 2012-2015 propelled him to the front of his class as he effectively ran laps around both his peers and his mentors. However, after the crippling hard-drive dump that stalled Thug's rising stock in 2015, Thug had to regroup with his camp in order to make sure such a massive leak would never again be possible. The following two years saw a new, more refined Thugger - Jeffrey as it were - where the emphasis was entirely on his increasingly sparse projects, and less on his tendencies to be a renegade. Unfortunately, 2018 has already seen more Young Thug leaks than the past two years combined; the silver lining here is that a majority of these tracks are clearly old, meant to gather dust in his unfathomably expansive vault. As Thug preps  Slime Language , the YSL compilation album  that may be dropping this...

"Stay Dangerous" doesn't quite approach the near-perfection of YG's first two albums, but his looseness and maturation make for an essential listen.  YG 's first two albums,  My Krazy Life  and  Still Brazy , are two of the most essential rap albums— or at the very least, L.A. rap albums— of the past five years. His debut surprised everyone with its skillful execution of the "day in the life" trope, which was more hard-nosed and less introspective than Kendrick Lamar's similarly-styled  good kid, m.A.A.d city , but just as honest and engrossing.  Still Brazy  dialed back the structural ambition but saw YG stepping up his fundamentals, delivering better rapping, more thoughtful subject matter, and a more cohesive-sounding final product. For someone whose features and non-album material usually come off as more playful than serious (think BlocBoy JB's "Nike Swoosh,"  Cardi B 's "She Bad," or  Ty Dolla $ign 's ...

Laura Helm is back again.  The  Usher 's herpes case is seemingly never-ending since Laura Helm is back again with another case against the singer, after dropping her previous case. Laura first sued Usher for giving her the STD and Usher fired back saying she assumed the risk when sleeping with him unprotected. In her first case, she claimed Usher forced her to perform oral sex on him. She dropped her case voluntarily for unknown reasons. According to  The Blast , Laura is now suing Usher after he reportedly said she failed to mention if she had an STD before they had sex and she could have very well contracted herpes from a previous partner. He denied any wrongdoing and looked to have Laura pay his legal bills also citing how she never had protection on her.  “Defendant audaciously requests this Court to support his self-serving notion that an individual infected with an incurable virus owes no duty regarding his ‘hidden defect’ to a potenti...

Could the rapper's long-awaited debut album finally be on the way? Jay Electronica  has heightened the hopes of fans with a preview of what sounds like material with  Swizz Beatz . The rapper shared a video on Instagram, tagging Swizz, and playing an instrumental which seems to feature the producer's voice. We don't hear any bars from Jay Elec in the clip, but the intention here seems fairly clear, especially given his recent declaration that he would be dropping music in the near future.

Iggy's got another one in the vault. Even though  Iggy Azalea  just dropped off her latest mixtape it doesn't mean she's taking a break from music making for the time being. The "Kream" rapper recently chatted with  Idolator   and revealed that she and UK producer, DJ Fresh, have something on the way after years of trying to figure out the right collaboration.  "That man has sent me beats, and I’ll be like, 'Oh, I don’t really like this one' or 'not quite,'" she told the publication. "Sometimes he’ll send me something and I’ll love it, and I’ll send back a verse and he’ll be like, 'No, I don’t love the verse. I’ll pass.' We have tried to collaborate like four or five times, once a year or once every two years since probably about 2013, he has sent me something. Then finally he sent me this song, and I was like, 'Yes, this is the one.' So I wrote my verse and he liked this one and it worked out." She fur...

J. Cole – Album Of The Year (Freestyle) Mp3 Download Jermaine decides to tackle Nas and The Bravehearts’ hit instrumental “Ooochie Wally” for his latest freestyle “Album Of The Year,” which is accompanied with a new video as well. Serving as his first release since K.O.D. J. Cole fans have a lot to be happy about right now. Just hours after the Dreamville leader warned us that he was hungry for beats yesterday, Jermaine decided to come out of nowhere today and surprise us with a new freestyle over Nas’ “Oochie Wally” called “Album of the Year.”. The song, which was accompanied with a new video, opened up with a message that read: “What you are about to witness is a master class on preparation. The Off Season,” and it turns out that happens to be the title to his next project

Trippie Redd Taking A Walk Mp3 Download Trippie Redd Taking A Walk Mp3  – With his debut album Life’s A Trip set to drop on August 10th,  Trippie Redd  has dropped off another offering from the album, “Taking A Walk.” While turning in a more muted effort than some of his notable hits, it’s great to see Scott Storch once again holding it down on the keys. This time around, he opts for a subdued turn on a Rhodes-like organ, providing Trippie with plenty of space to lay down his angst-laden lyricism. Despite frequent allusions to suicide, Trippie does add a little bit of levity to the proceeding. “Get this green then smoke this green, gotta stay potent,” raps, “pussy n***a talking shit but he ain’t know shit, chicken noodle ass n***a, man, you boneless.”

TGUT Moneyman Ft Hoodrich Pablo Juan Mp3 Download Hoodrich Pablo Juan,  G Herbo , and Tee Grizley are three thrilling rappers who are all icons in their respective cities (Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit), and they’ve come together on Virginia-raised, New York-based producer TGUT’s new track “ Moneyman .” All very much in their own lanes, it’s possible these three artists never would have collaborated without TGUT’s recruitment, but each possesses a captivating energy and penchant for syllable-stacking that makes them a powerful united force.
