When USC professor and hip-hop scholar Todd Boyd remembers hearing Tupac Shakur’s scathing diss track “Hit ‘Em Up,” he knew one thing: “This is not going to end well.”
The West Coast anthem was released in June 1996 and Shakur viciously took aim at his East Coast rivals, including the Notorious B.I.G. with claims — through strikingly chosen words — that he slept with Biggie’s wife, R&b singer Faith Evans.
The rap war escalated to new heights, and three months later Shakur was shot to death in Las Vegas, with some wondering (though apparently incorrectly) whether the beef had anything to with it. And a few months after that, Biggie was shot dead in Los Angeles though his killer never apprehended.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s current rap beef has Boyd reflecting on the past.

Since Kendrick Lamar took aim at Drake with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” in March, the Compton and Canadian rappers have traded dozens of dark verses (and counting) in a beef unlike any before it. Their war of words hit a crescendo on the weekend of May 3, but tensions have been simmering for years. Here we’ll break down every major development in their battle since late March. But first a little background:

Kendrick Lamar and Drake‘s feud is escalating rapidly.
The 36-year-old rapper called the 37-year-old Canadian superstar a “pedophile” in a new diss track called “Not Like Us,” released less than 24 hours after his headline-making “Meet The Grahams.”
The cover art shows Drake‘s home with sex offender beacons.
“Why you trollin’ like a bitch? Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor,” he raps in the song, accusing Drake of liking his women young. “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.”
He released “Meet The Grahams” earlier in the weekend, warning Lebron James and Steph Curry to keep their families away from Drake because he’s a “pervert.” He also accuses Drake of having a secret daughter: “You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh.”
A source close to Drake tells TMZ that the allegation about a secret child is an “utter fabrication.

Former Collaborators Kendrick Lamar and Drake Continue to Target Each Other With A String of Diss Tracks. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s decade-long feud continued to gain steam this week after the former released the newest diss titled “6:16 In LA,” which also sampled Al Green’s 1972 classic, “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is.” While sampling other artists’ music doesn’t raise eyebrows, Lamar using Green’s 1972 classic in his track has led fans to unearth the soul singer’s connection to Drake’s family.
The one-time collaborators Drake and Kendrick Lamar began to butt heads in 2013 after Lamar rapped on Big Sean’s track “Control” and called out multiple artists, including Drake by name.
While Drake didn’t officially respond to Lamar’s track, his 2013 song “The Language” was rumored to be targeted at the rapper. However, Drake’s camp denied the claim and even praised...

On the night of April 13, after the apparent leak of his diss track “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty),” Drake posted a screenshot from the movie Kill Bill on his Instagram Story. It was the film’s iconic fight scene, during which Uma Thurman’s character takes on a room full of ninja assassins only to emerge victorious. The metaphor couldn’t be more applicable to Drake’s current situation, as he fends off what many are describing as “Rap’s Avengers,” out for blood since the release of Future...

I’ve been eager to make this happen. Vegyn’s career is one of the most impressive in modern music, distinguished by collaboration, style, and a fair amount of mystery.

Celebrity Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is under a microscope after Homeland Security raided two of his properties in March 2024. Now, fans of the hip-hop mogul are looking toward Ashton Kutcher for answers. Kutcher had a longstanding friendship with Combs. However, Combs explained why they stopped partying together — and it had to do with Kutcher’s relationship with Demi Moore.

The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.
And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals. Their charm, playful personality and great sense of humor make up for their impulsiveness and sometimes hot-temper, and there’s absolutely no other sign who will keep it all the way real with you like an Aries does, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear. They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.

The track on which he appears, “Like That,” prominently features Rodney O and Joe Cooley’s 1987 single “Everlasting Bass,” and Metro uses it like Three 6 Mafia did throughout their discography, from “Where Da Bud At” to “Who the Crunkest.” Thanks in part to the Mafia, “Everlasting Bass” has become an avatar of Jheri-curled hardness,...

Few rivalries in rap music are as intense as Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s. Along with sharing appearances on each other’s albums, the two have also shown respect for one another in interviews. However, the very things that have united them have also caused them to drift apart.
A controversy erupted when Drake made a derogatory remark about Lamar and his song, Control, back in 2013. The song was eventually pulled from the album due to sample clearance issues, and many rappers responded to it right away—just not the one Lamar seemed to want to hear from most.
Drake asked, “Kendrick is giving people moments, but are you listening to it now?” in reference to the now-famous verse of Big Sean’s song Control.

We Don’t Trust You, the new album from Future and Metro Boomin, is here (the first half anyway), and listeners are abuzz about the 17-song project. Coming in at approximately one hour, the project has elicited plenty of talking points in less than 24 hours. Kendrick Lamar pulled another “Control”-like move and got the rap world talking about his shots at Drake and J. Cole on “Like That” — which coincidentally overshadowed yesterday’s “Whole Time” freestyle from Big Sean, who originally put Kendrick on “Control.”

When Big Sean shoots his shot, what’s the best that can happen?
On Friday, the rap star released the video for his confidence-boosting single “Precision,” which hears him rap about locking a target and never missing over Three 6 Mafia’s classic “Poppin’ My Collar.”
The Onda-directed video sees the star in different scenarios: getting his measurements taken by a sexy tailor, walking on a treadmill and meditating in front of a green screen, and shooting hoops in a cartoonish setting.

The Onda-directed video sees the star in different scenarios: getting his measurements taken by a sexy tailor, walking on a treadmill and meditating in front of a green screen, and shooting hoops in a cartoonish setting.

Kendrick Lamar has heard Drake and J. Cole’s most recent subliminal disses, and he’s done playing games. In his guest verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s new song “Like That,” the rapper comes after his friends turned foes.
After opening his verse by calling out “n****s talkin’ out of they necks,” Kendrick name-drops Drake and Cole’s 2023 hit “First Person Shooter” off the former’s album, For All the Dogs: “Fuck sneak dissin’, ‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches.”
This line is a direct response to Cole boasting on “First Person Shooter” about being the “hardest Mc” out of the so-called Big Three rappers of their generation. “Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?” he raps. “We the Big Three like we started a league, but right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali.”

More change is afoot in Los Angeles’ high-end luxury real estate business, which has seen a wave of new brokerages join the scene in the past two years and a surprising number of power-seller agents switch their allegiances.
Now, two of L.A.’s biggest celebrity real estate agents, James Harris and David Parnes of Bond Street Partners — known for starring on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles for seven seasons before leaving the real estate reality series in 2022 — are on the move.
The duo — who have repped stars such as Rihanna, Carey Mulligan, Demi Lovato, Big Sean and Kevin Durant (according to public records) — are joining Carolwood Estates, the nearly 2-year-old agency founded in 2022 by Drew Fenton, Nick Segal and Ed Leyson.
Harris and Parnes, who in a typical year do $500 million to $600 million in residential real estate sales, have long made a home at The Agency (co-founded by Mauricio Umansky,...

One of the most memorable and heartfelt ways to tell someone you're falling in love with them is through a cute love song. Even if you're not into writing your own tune, sharing a Spotify playlist full of songs about soulmates, songs about love at first sight, and songs about saying, "I love you," is a sweet and low-pressure way to get your feelings across. And thankfully, there is a wealth of songs about falling in love out there - across all genres - to show someone just how much you care for them.
The best love song, however, is the tune that resonates the most with you and your partner. So whether you prefer a slow, romantic ballad, a sexy song, or a song that's more upbeat, your love interest is certain to be falling just as hard for you after giving it a listen.

Before Justin Bieber's "Journals," there was Ariana Grande's "Yours Truly."
It was Aug. 30, 2013, and Grande - who rose to fame on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and "Sam & Cat" - suddenly emerged as a musical superstar with her debut album. Thanks to her dreamy voice and impressive range, the budding phenom, who was then 20 years old, proved she was so much more than just a teen star.
The album was a testament of how '90s R&b, hip-hop, pop, and doo-wop can complement one another. Paired with production by Babyface, The Rascals (Leon Thomas III and Khris Riddick-Tynes), Antonio Dixon, Harmony Samuels, Tommy Brown (aka TBHits), as well as cowriting credits from the aforementioned and Victoria Monét, Sevyn Streeter, Jordin Sparks, and Priscilla Renea (now Muni Long), "Yours Truly" was an instant victory.

Music sensation Ariana Grande and her husband, Dalton Gomez, are reportedly calling it quits. The couple remained quiet about their two-year marriage, but recent reports suggest they’re headed for divorce. So, what led to Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez divorcing? Here’s what to know.
Why are Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez divorcing?
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez are headed for divorce after two years of marriage — and it seems physical distance between them became the main issue. While Grande and Gomez lived together in Los Angeles, their careers pulled them in separate directions. Grande headed to England to film Wicked, and the distance between them became too much to handle.
“She was happy in Los Angeles for a couple of years,” a source explained to People. “She wanted to make a life there with Dalton.”

Ariana Grande and her husband Dalton Gomez have decided to end their marriage.
The two reportedly split earlier in the year and are focused on their friendship. They were already having problems with their marriage, which was only exacerbated when she left for London to film Wicked. Their differences are said to be unreconcilable.
Grande was spotted on Sunday at Wimbledon without her engagement ring and wedding band, sparking split rumors. She posted a series of photos of her at the event with co-star Jonathan Bailey and friend Andrew Garfield.
Last year, Grande was similarly seen without her ring in a TikTok video, but she clarified immediately that, she was “not getting a divorce,” but she was simply getting it cleaned.

Producer Kaytranada and Portland rapper Aminé have paired up for a full-length collaborative project, under the portmanteau KAYTRAMINÉ. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify.
The album reunites the two artists after nearly a decade of mutual behind-the-scenes support that resulted in three Kaytranada-produced tracks on Aminé’s 2015 mixtape, Calling Brio. The 11-track effort includes features from Pharrell Williams, Freddie Gibbs, Snoop Dogg, and Big Sean.
Lead single “4Eva” features production and a vocal assist from Williams. Watch the music video, directed by frequent Aminé collaborator Jack Begert, below.
“4Eva” was followed by the second preview “Rebuke.” KAYTRAMINÉ arrives after a similar year-plus release gap for both artists. Aminé’s Twopointfive project and Kaytranada’s Intimidated EP dropped within two weeks of each other in November 2021, and the latter’s 2022 single “Twin Flame” with Anderson. Paak has stood as the sole offering from either ever since.

Erykah Badu has a reminder for those who may have forgotten the true meaning of the word “woke.” In a recent interview with MSNBC, the artist discussed her thoughts on right-wing politicians who’ve turned the term into a pejorative, saying: “I think they mean ‘Black.'”
Although the origin of the phrase “stay woke” is widely credited to William Melvin Kelley’s 1962 essay If You’re Woke You Dig It, Badu played a huge role in bringing it to the mainstream with her 2008 track “Master Teacher.” Her use of the phrase on social media also contributed to its explosion in popularity: “I tweeted it about this group that was detained, Pussy Riot,” she explained to MSNBC’s Ari Melber, referring to the Russian protest art collective. “I said ‘free Pussy Riot’… After that, ‘woke’ took off.”
Melber then proceeded to show Badu a series of clips in which “stay woke” is used,...

For Creed III co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors, the on-screen rivalry between their characters has a way of translating off-screen, too — in a good way.
“His drive to be the best, I have that drive to be the best,” Majors told The Hollywood Reporter about his and Jordan’s work ethic. “And contrary to popular belief, those things can run parallel. That’s how you get a movie like Creed III.”
On Monday evening, the cast and crew of Creed III gathered at the Tcl Chinese Theater to celebrate the film’s premiere, which hits theaters on Friday.
From starring in the previous Creed films to now directing the third installment, Jordan’s journey with the franchise is a personal one. “This is a character I’ve played three times over the last nine years of my life — very transformative years, the last nine years of my career and personal life,...
