Listen Later

With everything going on in the world today, we have to be innovative to continue with a normal way of living. Diddy confirmed he is in talks with Dr. Dre about a "Versus" battle! Diddy chopped it up with Fat Joe on his Instagram show, where he asked him if the battle could be heading our way. Unlike the last few Verzuz, Swizz and Timbaland say that a Diddy/Dre face-off would be pay-per-view, which means it may not happen on Instagram Live. In related news, DJ Paul of the iconic group, "Three 6 Mafia" and Krazy Bone of legendary group "Bone Thugs-N-Harmony" are slated to do a "Versus" face-off battle, April 30th. "This Is Not A Battle. This Is A Celebration Between Homies of Over 50 yrs Combined Dropping Slap!!!" wrote DJ Paul on Instagram. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's catalog includes several Top 20 hits like "Thuggish Ruggish Bone," "1st of tha Month," and "Tha Crossroads." Throughout their career, Memphis-based rappers Three 6 Mafia released platinum-certified records like "Stay Fly," "Poppin' My Collar," and "Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)." Both of these should definitely be on some next level sh*%t!! After his Verzuz battle with fellow producer Teddy Riley, all the technical difficulties they faced and the time that was “wasted” people assumed that it would be the last time we saw Babyface on Instagram Live. Not so! Babyface is now set to host a "Waiting to Exhale" Soundtrack special on Monther's Day, May 10th. Can't wait for this one either! A lot of recording artists have been financially affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Clubs, concerts, festivals, and other live events have been shut down which has cut off a source of revenue for musicians. Facebook is now set to provide a new way for performers to earn money on the platform. The social networking service is adding more features for Facebook Live real-time videos, including a way to charge for access to content. Innovation at it's best! On Tuesday (Apr 28) Netflix announced today that the Michelle Obama book Becoming will be available on the streaming service starting Wednesday, May 6th. The documentary will cover some history of Obama’s life from the memoir and give a behind-the-scenes look at experiences from her 34-city book tour. Staying in Chicago, Kanye West is returning to his roots once again. The Chicago-bred billionaire recently bought his childhood home in the city’s South Shore neighborhood for an estimated $225,000. The house has a complicated history. Kanye’s mother Donda West originally bought the property in the 1980s. In 2004, she sold it and the house fell into dilapidation amidst foreclosure. The news comes on the heels of Forbes Magazine announcing Kanye is officially a billionaire. The business magazine estimated his net worth at $1.3 billion, while Kanye himself is adamant he’s worth $3.3 billion. This is how your supposed to do it!! For this week's "Illastr8 HOT TAKE" we dove into mental health tips during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
