​Show #155 - Violent End, New Beginnings


Listen Later

There were a variety of new topics this week to discuss. Unfortunately, we sadly reported that another YOUNG life was lost in the Hip-Hop community. The 20-year-old rapper "XXXTentacion", whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was gunned down in an apparent robbery in Broward County, Florida. Authorities said he was leaving a motorsports store shortly before 4 p.m. when two men in a dark SUV shot and killed him. XXXTentacion spoke on his death before he was killed Monday. Check out what specifically he said and what the crew had to say - R.I.P.! In lighter news, Dr. Dre will be developing the Marvin Gaye movie. The film project is said to be in the early stages of planning, but the former N.W.A. star has secured the rights to Gaye's music. A number of stars, including directors F. Gary Gray and Cameron Crowe, and rocker Lenny Kravitz, have tried to develop films about the late singer in the past, but the projects never came to fruition. DRE always makin moves! Leave it to Beyoncé and Jay-Z to redefine what “pulling a Beyoncé” can be. Last Saturday, the pair headlined London Stadium as part of their joint On the Run II Tour, and at the end of their career-spanning set a message flashed on the screens: “ALBUM OUT NOW.” Everything Is Love, credited to The Carters, an exquisitely produced happy ending to the cheating-heart narrative that unspooled on Beyoncé’s gravity-defying 2016 album Lemonade and Jay-Z’s terse yet personal 2017 release 4:44. We were also graced, once again with the presence of female phenome from the DMV, Lady Dame. She was in studio updating us on her new ventures and record deal. Check her out everywhere @ladydameofficial! We got you...until next Wednesday - See What I'm Sayin!
