Will Smith Returns As A Rapper On The Remix To Bomba Estéreo’s “Fiesta” (AUDIO)

After dominating the box office for two decades, the artist formerly known as The Fresh Prince has returned to his rapping roots. Will Smith teamed with Colombian electronic music group Bomba Estéreo for a remix of the band’s “Fiesta.”

This is the first time since 2005’s Lost And Found album that the public has had the chance to hear Big Willie drop some bars. According to The Associated Press, a video for “Fiesta (Remix)” with Smith is in the works as well.

There could also be more tunes from Will in the near future. The Philadelphia native has reportedly been working with Kanye West on new music.

“I’ve recorded a lot,” said Smith back in February. “I don’t have anything I like yet, but I’ve recorded seven or eight [songs]. It’s not for certain. It’s just explorative.”

Listen to Bomba Estéreo’s “Fiesta (Remix)” below. What do you think about Will Smith’s comeback verse?

Amber Rose Breaks Down While Speaking About Wiz Khalifa (VIDEO)


Amber Rose hosted her “Slut Walk” in Los Angeles this weekend, and she used that event as an opportunity to address her critics. While speaking with supporters, Rose discussed her past relationships with Hip Hop stars Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.

Amber’s speech included her reflecting on Kanye saying he had to take thirty showers after being with her. She also called Wiz the most amazing guy she ever met and admitted they still love each other. The former exotic dancer began to cry as she tried to talk about her ex’s lyrics in the song “For Everybody.”

“[Wiz] went on to make a song saying he, ‘fell in love with a stripper, but fell out of love quicker.’ As you can imagine, him being the love of my life – regardless if we’re going through a separation or not – that was extremely hurtful,” said Amber before breaking down.

The crowd started clapping and shouting words of encouragement at Amber. She then continued speaking about being hurt by Wiz’s words.

“So he came out with that song, and that really hurt me, because all I did was love him,” stated Amber. “I just loved him so much and gave him a beautiful son. To be told I was nothing but a stripper… it hurt.”


Janet Jackson Headed Toward First #1 Album In 7 Years

Janet Jackson is proving her fans still have a lot of love for the music icon. According to HitsDailyDouble, Jackson’s latest album Unbreakable is set to land in the top spot on the album chart.

At the moment the independent LP is predicted to move 90,000-105,000 albums and 93,000-108,000 SPS units. This week’s only other big debut, Tamar Braxton’s Calling All Lovers, is expected to fall in the 38,000-43,000 sales and 42,000-47,000 SPS range.

Unbreakable is Jackson’s first studio album since 2008’s Discipline. It is also her first release since parting ways with Island Records. The set features appearances by J. Cole and Missy Elliott. If Unbreakable holds at #1, it will be the singer’s 7th album to become the top-selling LP in the country.

Drake & Future’s ‘WATTBA’ Suffers One Of The Worst Sales Drops In Hip Hop History

It appears all the hype over Drake and Future’s collaborative project What A Time To Be Alive is waning. Drizzy Hendrix had the internet going crazy as speculation something big was coming from the two stars, and when WATTBA finally hit iTunes fans gave the project one of the biggest sales weeks of the year (334,000 pure albums).

However, week 2 was not as big for Drake and Future. The project pushed just 65,000 copies in its sophomore week. That accounts for an 81% drop in sales, one of the worst declines for a #1 album from a debut week to a second week in Hip Hop history.

Other top-selling rap albums to see a significant fall in sales its next week are Mac Miller’s Blue Slide Park (83% –  144,000 to 25,000), Kanye West’s Yeezus (80% – 327,000 to 65,000), Jay Z’s Kingdom Come (79% – 680,000 to 140,000), and Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (78% – 496,000 to 108,000).

Drake and Future were able to remain in the Top 5 in their second week. Thanks in part to streaming totals, What A Time landed at #2. Fetty Wap’s self-titled album is currently at #1.

Lil Wayne Claims Cash Money Owes Money To Drake, Nicki Minaj & Tyga

The legal saga between Lil Wayne and Birdman’s Cash Money Records takes another turn. Wayne has reportedly filed new legal documents suggesting his longtime label also owes Young Money artists Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga money.

TMZ reports:

    Lil Wayne now claims in his bitter lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money, he has letters from Drake and Tyga’s people claiming they got stiffed out of a fortune. And Nicki’s people say in a separate letter her producers also got shortchanged by Young Money, and Wayne says it’s Cash Money’s responsibility to pay producers.

Earlier this year, Wayne sued Cash Money for unpaid royalties and album advances. Wayne’s Young Money imprint was named as a plaintiff in the case as well. YM wants CMR to pay for the cost of legal actions from artists asserting they are owed money by the company.

According to the original documents, a “2009 Drake Letter Amendment” was agreed upon to give YM one-third of the net profits from the sale of Drake’s solo recordings. The suit also revealed Wayne and Cash Money agreed to a 51%-49% split over Wayne’s Young Money imprint.

Wayne has publicly demanded to be let out of his contract with Cash Money. Young Money’s Tyga has also been vocal about not receiving payments from Birdman’s company. In addition, other individuals in the industry such as Turk, Bangladesh, Jas Prince, and Wendy Day have filed lawsuits against CMR for unpaid services.

According to TMZ, Cash Money argues Wayne and Young Money are the ones in breach of contract. The label claims YM was supposed to produce 21 albums over 7 years and only 13 projects were released.

If Wayne and Young Money are able to split from CMR, Birdman has made it clear he will not let platinum-selling acts Drake and Nicki Minaj go with Weezy so easily. The two stars reportedly have distribution deals with Cash Money, and in 2013 Birdman told DJ Whoo Kid, “Drake down with the team for life. He made that commitment when we did another situation.”

Fredro Starr Throws Shots At 50 Cent & The Breakfast Club During Keith Murray Battle

Last night (October 4), the Keith Murray and Fredro Starr battle finally went down. Murda Mook, Loaded Lux, DJ Enuff, and some of the biggest names in battle rap showed up at Milk River. As the Def Squad representative and the Onyx member went head-to-head, Starr also threw some shots at 50 Cent and Power 105’s TheBreakfast Club.

 Before the battle, 50 expressed he was riding with Murray. The G-Unit leader even said “F*ck Fredro Starr” on camera. Starr sent a jab back at Fif when he told Murray, “Stop smoking dust, turn a new leaf. This n*gga’s fake as 50 Cent’s new teeth.”

Fredro later rapped, “I got love for 50 Cent. Thanks for the promo. I see this Starr’s always on his mind – Tony Romo.”

Last year, Starr got into a heated conversation with Charlamagne Tha God during an interview with TheBreakfast Club. The argument was sparked when CTG asked Fredro to discuss comments he made about Brandy. MC WAR’s “Generation X” event featured Fredro taking aim at the radio program.

“The Breakfast Club wanna know about Brandy and me. The question is: Who’s smashing Angela Yee?” spit Starr. “Talking about Fredro’s a liar. The only n*gga lying is 50 when he said he smashed Maya.”
