Watch DJ Mustard Flip Through L.A. In New ‘Ghetto Tales’ Video

by 10 mins ago

The autumnal equinox might be officially upon us, but for DJ Mustard, it’s still all about 10 Summers. In “Ghetto Tales,” the latest video off of his debut album that dropped Monday (September 29), Mustard revisits his Los Angeles roots.

The Alex Nazari-directed clip begins with a police helicopter circling the My Krazy Life producer’s ‘hood before he pulls up in a classic, maroon-red droptop ’64 Chevy Impala to pick up his partner-in-rhyme, Jay 305, from a sea of what appear to be members of the Bloods street gang.

After the first verse, Mustard switches it up and flips in a beautiful blue Chevy with the roof missing to scoop his homie, Tee Cee. Both men continue to elude the chopper in hot pursuit from above, eventually linking up with Jay later down the road.

Watch DJ Mustard’s “Ghetto Tales” video featuring Jay 305 and Tee Cee at Noisey to find out what happens next, and listen to the track below.

Watch Tinashe Take Out Her Lover In The New ‘Pretend’ Video

by 7 mins ago

Picturesque landscapes serve as the backdrop forTinashe’s beautiful, though kind of emo, new music video for “Pretend.”

The JODEB-directed clip finds the “Bet” singer going through the motions with her boyfriend, all the while obviously longing for her collaborator, A$AP Rocky.

“Let’s pretend I ain’t your friend, so we can get it on again/ Let’s pretend we never met, a good excuse to play forget, Let’s pretend you never lied, so I can give it up all night,” she sings as library books rain down in cinematic fashion.

Pretty Flacko, of course, puts in some quality time at the strip club, where he finds his co-star’s bae acting less than gentlemanly.

“To never fool around with you was my best deed/ Stand up, got a heart up on my left sleeve/ When I could find another lover by the next week,” he raps after confronting her cheating lover.

For the closer, the “Fashion Killa” MC pulls out the classic Lincoln Continental with the suicide doors to “rescue” the 21-year old chanteuse from her pretend relationship.

The follow-up single to “2 On,” “Pretend” is set for Tinashe’s debut album, Aquarius, due out October 7.

These Atlanta Cyclists Went The Extra Mile To Prove Their Love For Outkast

by 7 mins ago

Outkast really does have some ride-or-die fans.

To celebrate their beloved ATLiens’ last stop on their reunion tour this weekend at “ATLast,” a three-day festival at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park, a local cyclist group put their own spin on critical mass with the “Outkast Routecast” project.

For the tribute ride, 40 Atlantans wrote the duo’s name on the city street schematic using a special GPS cellphone app. The Spindle bike shop shared about the homage on their page:

“In honor of Outkast’s ATLast show in Atlanta, The Spindle bike shop brought together 40 local cyclists on June 6, 2014, for a one-of-a-kind ride. Using a phone app that traced their route onto a map, the group wrote the name of the ATLiens using their bikes and the streets of Atlanta. It is displays like this that prove Outkast fans are the best in the world.”

The rappers born Andre Benjamin and Antwan Patton will perform for their hometown fans in the very same landmark park that housed the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.

The legendary rap group, who dropped their iconic debut LP Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik 20 years ago, traveled the world, brokecountless Billboard records, and came back home to stand on the awards podium to take their last bow.

‘Breaking Bad’ Candy Is Not Welcome In This New Mexico Elementary School

by 2 mins ago

It goes without saying that drugs are bad—especially for kids.

But what about candy made to look like drugs?

Reginald Chavez Elementary School in Albuquerque, New Mexico drew a line in the sand on the matter when it suspended two of its students on Wednesday (September 24) for bringing in rock candy that resembled the Blue Sky crystal meth made famous by the award-winning TV series that was filmed locally, “Breaking Bad.”

According to the Huffington Post, brothers Gabriel Valdez, 10, and Christian Valdez, 9, reportedly passed out the candy to fellow classmates during recess and, according to the executive director of communications of Albuquerque Public Schools, told the kids, “Now you’re eating meth.”

The siblings were reprimanded for “disruption of the educational process and inappropriate and unacceptable behavior” and suspended for two and a half days. In the discipline forms, one of the offenses listed was “look-alike drugs and role playing.”

“Handing out candy that looks like meth isn’t something we’re going to affirm,” Armenta told the Huffington Post. “This is not behavior we want modeled in our schools.”

The boys’ mother, Virginia Valdez, thinks the whole thing was “blown out of proportion.”

“If candy is brought in the classroom, it can be a distraction,” Valdez told KOAT News. “But this was actually going on out on the playground.”

Virginia has since removed her sons, who don’t really understand the critically-acclaimed series, from the school and plans to enroll them in private school.

“It’s not really drugs — it’s candy,” she added. “It’s unfair.”

Wiz Khalifa’s Divorce Papers Differ From Amber Rose’s In One Crucial Way

by 21 mins ago

Wiz Khalifa has yet to make an official statement on his pending divorce from estranged wife Amber Rose, but on Friday (September 25), he let his lawyers do the talking for him.

The rapper born Cameron Jibril Thomaz filed a countersuit to Amber’s divorce petition in a Los Angeles court asking for joint physical custody and visitation rights of their 2-year old son, Sebastian “The Bash” Taylor Thomaz.

E! News reports that the Blacc Hollywood MC cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the legal dissolution of their union.

According to a source close to the couple, Wiz and his wife—who recently dedicated a special twerk for his first #1 album— “have had marital issues for some time now.”

“They cared very much for each other but it all happened so fast between having the baby and getting married,” the source told E! News. “They really did not know each other as much as they should have before getting married. They both have not had the best pasts with relationships and when they met each other it was more lust at first sight than love at first sight.”

The couple has a prenuptial agreement in place that will provide Amber a one-time payment north of $1 million and spousal support of more than $5,000 per month.

California is a no-fault state and the judge that will preside over the case will make his or her custody decision based solely on what is best for the child. In the Golden ...

Derek Jeter Gets Emotional Send Off From Fans In Last Yankees Home Game

by 1 hour ago

The Bronx will never be the same.

Derek Jeter played his last home game at Yankee Stadium Thursday night (September 25) and it was an event to remember.

It’s never easy to say goodbye, but it was especially hard for Yankee fans to send off The Captain, perhaps the greatest player to wear the pinstripes in the modern day era.

Tickets prices to see Jeter’s last at bat in the house that he built rose to an unprecented $845—despite the inclement weather.

It was a packed house.

Even Jay Z made sure he was in the building to see the great one’s last hoorah.

And just like he’d done for so many years under the bright lights, on the biggest stage, Jeter led off his first at-bat with a stunning RBI double deep into left field to tie things up 2-2 for the Yanks at the bottom of the first inning.

Not surprisingly, everyone was chanting his name and thanking the baseball Gods for the chance to witness the legend of Jeter for one last time.

But for those that couldn’t make it, Twitter was a welcoming bullpen for all things #TheCaptain.

Here are just a few of the best tweets of the night:

The Legend Of Jeter.

Tears.

More Tears.

The Governor Tips His Hat.

Respect Due.

Jeter The Hero.

Even more tears thanks to the emotional Gatorade commercial.

Thanks for the memories, Captain.

Jeremih Enlists Pitbull For The ‘Don’t Tell ‘Em’ Remix

by 1 hour ago

At this point, Jeremih could just coast on the success of his runaway hit, “Don’t Tell ‘Em,” to lead up the release of his highly-anticipated new LP, Late Nights: The Album. But that’s not how the Chicago crooner gets down. Instead, he enlisted Pitbull to help him remix the Billboard Top 10 hit and dropped a brand new song to boot.

Pitbull translates the track’s catchy chorus Spanish and contributes to the song’s celebratory tone. But because Mr. Felton loves his fans that much, he also released “Nobody But U,” on Thursday (September 25).

The electronic-influenced track finds the Late Nights singer serving up his signature falsetto at a more sensual pace than his current chart-topper.

“She taking her clothes off, I fell right in love with her body, I’m a tip it, I’m addicted I know that she got me/ain’t nobody in here with that body, nobody but u,” he sings.

Late Nights: The Album is set to hit shelves on October 7.

Jeremih also shared the cover art for his forthcoming record on his Instagram:

Instagram Just Introduced A New Level To The Selfie Game

by 19 mins ago

Ready for a little selfie improvement?

Instagram continues to keep the self-portrait photograph taking phenomenon interesting with the announcement Thursday (September 25), that users can now use their front-facing cellphone cameras when taking Hyperlapse selfies.

For the uninitiated, Hyperlapse allows users to speed up and slow down time while doing their best imitation of Annie Leibovitz.

Need more assistance with taking double-tap worthy pics? No problem, IG’s help page throws you an alley-oop.

Just tap your camera shutter to “selfielapse” mode or tap it again to switch back to plain Hyperlapse.

“Keep in mind that you can’t switch between selfielapse and Hyperlapse while recording a video,” the help page says.

The regular Hyperlapse app debuted last month with a focus on creating time-lapsed videos with the press of a button.

Ok, enough technical talk, get back to taking your selfies!

Did Justin Bieber Pass On Big Sean’s ‘I Don’t F–k With You’ Beat?

by 21 mins ago

If you thought that the beat to Big Sean’s “I Don’t F–k With You” sounded eerily familiar, don’t worry — you’re not crazy.

You’ve heard that bit of DJ Mustard production before.

Earlier this year, Justin Bieber posted an Instagram video previewing an unknown song with the very same beat, although peppered with a few added sonic spices.

No one knows why the Biebs — sorry, Bizzle — passed on the banger. He must be sitting on an impressive array of beats to feel comfortable enough to turn down such a hit. Sean certainly isn’t mad about it.

Besides, JB will probably get his own signature “Mustard on the beat” drop sooner or later, considering that the My Krazy Life executive producer has put it out into the universe that he wants to produce an entire album by the pop superstar, à la Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.

“I think Justin Bieber should let me executive produce his album,” Mustard told MTV News back in March. “I wouldn’t really even know what to expect, but I just know the sound that we create would be crazy. You remember when Justin Timberlake and Timbaland got together? Similar to that. I’m not trying to compare us or nothing like that, but it could be similar to that.”

The Bizzle and DJ Mustard — sounds like a classic to us!

Is That Really Pharrell Williams In The New NBA 2K15 Game?

by 3 mins ago

The answer is “No.”

The question?

Is there anything Pharrell Williams can’t do?

The omnipresent multihyphenate just added another title to his already expansive resume: video game character.

That’s right. The “Come Get It Bae” singer/rapper/producer — and his signature buffalo hat, of course — will make an appearance in the upcoming video game, NBA 2K15.

The game’s graphics and detail are incredibly life-like, but in the clip the new “The Voice” judge posted on Instagram, the programmers of the new MyCareer mode technology went a bit off the rails with their creative license because the diminutive Grammy winner appears to be as tall as an NBA player.

“#YourTimeHasCome to meet me in @2K #NBA2K15. New face scan technology will make it possible for us to meet face-to-face in one scene. Coming soon,” reads the caption.

Additionally, Skateboard P’s real voice is featured, as is the real voices of most of the NBA players.

NBA 2K15, which features the reigning league MVP Kevin Durant on the cover, is set to hit shelves on October 7.
