Papoose didn’t take too lightly to Atlanta rapper, Trinidad James, talking S#!t about NY culture, so he retreated to his most powerful weapon: his lyrics. Calling him the “Bride of Frankenstein”, Papoose made the best of his Turkey day with a slew of comedic versus in his latest diss record, “Jive Ass Turkey”. The track has all the potential needed to spark tension between the two.
The Eminem Show meets The Matrix in Eminem’s latest visuals for his single “Rad God”. He takes you on a psychedelic trippy ride as he interchanges between scenes of being lost in a dream world, multi-colored 3-D TV screens and underground rap battles.

Justin Bieber released a steamy 16 second teaser to his current hit single “All That Matters” early this morning on his twitter! Including a makeout session on a motorcycle, Biebs is definitely ready to break out of the adolescent image that clouds him.
Check it out below:
Here’s what Justin Bieber had to say about the video and the meaning behind the lyrics:
The Biebs recently went to Twitter to explain the meaning behind “All That Matters,” saying, “The lyrics of this song are pretty self-explanatory-when you fall in love with someone, that someone can make you feel whole.”
“I feel like anyone who has been in love knows what I mean. The song conveys that being in love is one of the greatest feelings on earth. Love is all that matters. But the void you feel when that love goes away is gut-wrenching,” he added.
Wondering who his sexy leading lady is? Ladies and gentlemen I’d like to introduce you toCailin Russo.
Parks & Recreation star, Rashida Jones stopped by the WhoWhatWear offices to express her love for masculine inspired clothing. After raiding their closet, the funny woman pulled three fantastic looks that would make any man jealous. She also discussed her collaboration with fine jewelry design duo and sisters Dannijo. Her debut jewelry collection is called Fine By Dannijones .
If you can wear menswear and make it look sexy, I guess that’s the sexiest thing you can do. There is something about how covered up and tailored it is, that is really alluring, sexy, and sophisticated.”
“This look reminds me a lot of my childhood. I love houndstooth and have since I was a little girl. My sister tried to make me wear some of those ‘80s fashion trends like bubble skirts, thigh-high tights, and off-the-shoulder dresses, but I just wanted to wear houndstooth trousers.”
I grew up wearing a uniform for 13 years, so I love tuxedos. I actually bought this jacket because the fit was so beautiful. If it fits well, it looks so polished. It’s so easy, and you really haven’t done anything but put on a suit, which I love.”
“I love a white collar on anything, and there is something so girly about an embellished collar. It’s a serious look, but the embellishment makes you feel like a princess.”

Bad blood is in the air! Not long after leaving a lasting impression on New York’s popular Hip Hop and R&B morning radio show, The Breakfast Club, Kanye West stopped by Sway in the Morning and WENT OFF! Sway asked about his progression and entrance into the fashion world and the infamous rants on stage, causing Kanye to lose it! The two went back in forth, exchanging low blows about failed business ventures and shallow financial blunder. Thankfully they were able to laugh it off and exchange apologies as an end result.
While some may see this as dysfunction or Kanye losing his mind, it’s the furthest thing from it. If you actually listen to what runs through this man’s head, you would realize and respect his way of thinking. I’m not saying you need to agree with everything but just HEAR him.
Kanye has never been shy about express his feelings towards the dominant society. Here’s a snippet:
The thing that compresses me is time versus money,” West said. “Integrity, money and relevance. Because as I work on clothing more, I’m not rapping as much. . . I’m not rapping as much, I’m not having as much finances. I’m losing relevancy. The relevancy is part of my power that allows my brand to be big. That’s what I’m saying: you juggle so crazy, and then you get a Nike that can simply say, ‘The [Air] Yeezys did good, that was a good job. Let me get you some more so you can start your own line because obviously people linin’ up for it.’ But they’ll marginalize and play you and talk about, ‘We don’t even know when the Red Octobers are coming out.'”
The infamous line to listen for: “YOU DON’T HAVE THE ANSWERS SWAY!”
And if you missed the interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club…:
This concoction! With a dry strum of a drum, Joey Bada$$ laced the track with a comatose flow and old school feel. Joey Bada$$ sampled an unreleased beat from the late Detroit producer, J Dilla. The producer lost his life in 2006 to a rare blood disorder.
Joey Bada$$ linked up with streetwear brand Akomplice and the J Dilla Foundation to benefit underprivileged kids in Detroit and Brooklyn. Along with a collection of clothing (crewnecks and tees) and music, a seven inch vinyl record is available now and at selected Akomplice retailers on November 29th. The proceeds will fund instruments and music lessons for the children in these communities.
