Drake Hints At Rihanna Romance On Chris Brown Dis?

  It appears the much-hyped beef between Young Money rapper Drake and crooner Chris Brown has took another turn. Straight from the stu, Drizzy released a scathing new track that appears to take a shots at a plethora of his foes. Most namely, Hollywood couple Chris Brown and Rihanna. 

  On one of the many scathing lines Drizzy appears to revisit unfortunate events that took place over the summer that resulted in an all out bottle throwing brawl at a New York City nightclub.

  "Bad press during the summer over allegations/ I ain't lyin', my n*gga, my time is money/ That's why I ain't got time for a n*gga who's time is comin." 

  Immediately following Drake hinted that his one time romance with Rihanna remains hotter than ever.

  "Where you think she at when she ain't with you?/ Wildin', doin' sh*t that's way out of your budget/ Owl sweaters inside her luggage, you gotta love it/ D*mn, this sh*t could go on a tape."

  The one-time friends apparently fell out after Drake poke fun at Brown over his relationship with Brown's now girlfriend. Both Brown and Drake are currently in a court battle fighting over who is responsible for the club melee that left dozens of clubgoers injured.

Snoop Dogg Confirms Suge Knight Reunion

Every dog has it's day and rapper Snoop Lion has had plenty but for the California OG nothing tops reuniting with former boss and foe Suge Knight. Weeks back a photo many assumed was the result of great Photoshop work depicting Snoop and Suge side by side in a nightclub made its rounds on the web. But speculate no further. The Doggfather confirms the unbelievable: Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight have buried the hatchet.

Snoop sent shockwaves to a legion of fans when he Instagram'd a photo of himself and Suge along wit the caption "N d club wit Suge miss those death row days!" Fast forward, the reincarnated lyricist speaks on the reunion with one of hip-hop's most feared men.

  “I think time heals all wounds," Snoop Lion told Skee TV. "And then being a bigger man and being one who accepts responsibility and right or wrong, I like saving lives, I don’t like to take lives. If that means putting my hand out saying I’m wrong, I apologize and we be cool, I’ll do that as opposed to me going behind my back, pulling a gun out and getting somebody or me doing something vicious to you.”

Dave Grohl - Sound CIty Players on Kimmel

The day after Dave Grohl made the star studded soundtrack to his documentary Sound City available for stream on NPR - he brought many of those stars with him and shut down Hollywood Boulevard to perform on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live. The collective - which features Krist Novoselic, Rick Springfield, John Fogerty, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick and more was put together as a tip of the cap to the Grohl directed documentary about the legendary Los Angeles recording studio.  They made their debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Any concerns that this group of older musicians wouldn't interest music fans under the age of 87 were quickly put to rest soon after they took the stage. The crowd of 10,000+ lost their mind for a set that included music written for the film as well as well known tracks from many of the musicians back-catalogues.  It was a perfect mix that celebrated the new while respecting what came before. The Sound City Players will continue to stay busy with upcoming an upcoming performance at SXSW and are rumored to be appearing at a number of other major festivals throughout the summer. You can check out "Sound City" On-Demand or via iTunes right now. Plus pre-orders for the high profile soundtrack are happening here

Lil Wayne Ditches Mac Miller To Wrap Up Album

  Since his release from a Rikers Island jail two years ago rapper Lil Wayne has attempted to enter the United Kingdom on numerous occasions until he was finally granted access. Last year Wayne announced that he was planning to visit the overseas soil as part of a tour with Pittsburgh’s favorite son Mac Miller but now it appears those plans have been put on hold indefinitely. According to a statement released from the YMCMB headquarters Wayne has decided to postpone his tour to finish wrapping up his "I Am Not A Human Bein II" album. "I am rescheduling to my European tour in order to release my album, I Am Not A Human Being II, world wide on March 26th" said Wayne in a written statement. "I didn't want my tour or album to be rushed, so despite my best hopes, I have made the decision to push back the tour to October 2013. I cannot thank my European fans enough for their patience and look forward to performing in the fall with Mac Miller. I never do anything halfway, and I promise to bring what will be an incredible live show experience." Just days ago Wayne unveiled the cover art to his upcoming project. Big Sean, Nicki Minaj, and 2 Chainz are just a few to name who will pop up on the album.
