Jay Z misses the old Kanye West, and so we. It’s being alleged that Jay wants nothing to do with Kanye, labeling him a “nut job.”

‘Ye went on a rant during his Seattle tour stop and complained about his and Jay’s relationship, saying there will never be a Watch The Throne 2, especially after Hov only called Kanye after Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbery. His “friend” expected more.
“You wanna know how I’m feeling? Come by the house. Bring the kids by the house. Like we brothers. Let’s sit down,” Yeezy said.

Future Is Slaying Scottie Pippen’s Wife?
After 19 years of marriage, Scottie Pippen will be divorcing his wife Larsa Pippen and the reason supposedly involves Future. It gives a whole new meaning to his “Low Life” lyric, “That’s your wifey, wifey, wife? I think I like her, like her.”

Reports say Larsa, 42, has been a VIP passenger on Future’s private jet over the past couple of months and was spotted at Miami’s Komodo nightclub with the Freebandz Gang boss in a less than ideal situation for a married person.
The obvious reaction from the internet was to naturally let the memes fly, complete with Gucci flip flops.

“There’s no way you’re going to have LL, who has done everything over the past 30 years, just not be in there,” the Public Enemy member says. “My man ‘Pac, tragically, is only five years of recordings and contribution. I know somebody will come along and say, ‘Well ‘Pac has a lot more meaning.’ Yeah, a lot more meaning to you, but you can’t even quantify his meaning. I think there’s a lot of emotional things there because he was tragically taken down and ‘Pac was 100 percent emotional. This does not mean LL Cool J has done nothing.”
Brandon Tory also explains to DX how his co-sign from Timbaland helped to propel his career.
“Timbaland is the big homie and pretty much put me on,” said Tory in an exclusive interview. “When I put out the Shine project, he shouted that on his Instagram which led to a lot of looks. I got a bunch of interviews and he’s been helping me with the sound and giving me guidance on what I should do. It’s really just support.”
Tory’s Yoga Season EP is slated for release November 4.
