Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James has recently took to Instagram to give Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant some high praise after Durant led Team United States of America to a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
Durant was most consistent player throughout this year’s Olympics for his country and he capped off his impressive run with a 29-point game to secure the gold medal for the United States of America.
James did not take part in this summer’s games, but it is clear that he was cheering on his NBA colleagues from home.
It is also clear, he was enjoying Nas’ new album, King’s Disease II, especially “EPMD 2” track, featuring Eminem and EPMD.
Nas’ new album King’s Disease II includes a song titled “Nobody,” featuring Lauryn Hill, produced by Corbett and Hit-Boy.
In the song, Nas raps: “Sunny L.A., remember calls with Dr. Drе. He told me, “Don’t let thе palm trees fool you, ni**a, be safe.”
Nas currently lives in L.A and Dr Dre is telling Nas that whilst it might look like L.A. to be a beautiful destination, there is still an alternate side to what you see on the surface.
Today, NAS came out with the second installment of his Grammy-winning King’s Disease album and a collaboration with Eminem came with it.
50 Cent shared a fragment of Eminem’s verse on “EPMD 2” on his Instagram with the caption: “No you can not front on this verse. You just gotta listen, shut the f**k up and listen.”
In the comment section, Fifty also commented: “Top 5 dead or alive,” referring to Eminem.
Tyler, The Creator set down with Ebro Darden in the Morning for an open, nuanced, and honest conversation on the process behind his new ‘Call Me If You Get Lost’ album.
He also discusses his place in hip hop, being slept on in hip hop, coming up with Odd Future, his thoughts on getting banned from the UK in 2015 resulting in the cancelling of shows and how it effected his career, mentors such as Jay-Z and Pharrell, Verzuz, proving people wrong, how his mom shaped his life, comparing Lil Wayne and Eminem and more.
“I love Lil Wayne. He keeps getting better. I think people don’t realize it because some of the beat choices but that man only got better on some technical skills in a good way unlike Marshall (Eminem), Marshall got too good that it’s like gross, he’s like too technically good that bro we can’t even fathom it. STOP. Wayne is tastefully good now. Watching one of the greats keep getting better makes no sense to me. Even Jay Z.” says Tyler.
Nas has just dropped King’s Disease II, the second installment of his Grammy-winning King’s Disease album.
The album includes guest appearances from Eminem, Ms. Lauryn Hill, YG, Charlie Wilson, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Blxst, EPMD and Hit-Boy.
Eminem is featured on a track titled “EPMD 2.” This is the first ever official collaboration between Nas and Eminem. “Topless” track where Em is rapping in Dre’s perspective was leaked many years ago and has never been released officially.
Lasha Talakhadze (+109 kg), a Georgian wrestler, current Olympic, World, Europe champion and the creator of numerous world and Olympic records, has just become the gold medal winner at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Talakhadze of Georgia has set three world records to retain his title in the heaviest men’s weightlifting category, while Syria earned its first medal since the country’s civil war began.
Talakhadze lifted a world-record 223 kilograms in the snatch and 265 in the clean and jerk for a total 488. All three figures broke his own world records in the over-109kg category.
Before Lasha’s miracle performance, Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” has been played to motivate the Olympians. You can check the video below:
In a recent Live session on Instagram, Royce Da 5’9″expressed his disappointment with some of his fellow Slaughterhouse lyrical-spitters for not getting involved in the beef with Lupe Fiasco: “Speaking of Crook and Joell, what are they up to? Watching me get jumped on? You know what I would be doing right now if somebody pulled this on one of my loved ones? I would have been rapped. I am disappointed in Crooked, I am disappointed in Joell. It is not about them wondering if I can handle myself in rapping. It is the fact that you are looking at me, and you are looking at two other individuals gang up on me on some lyrical s**t, and you just sitting there watching.”
Kxng Crooked responded Royce in an interview with PsaHipHOP: “When Royce joke around like ‘Why Crook and Joell did not come jump in?! You are Royce the f**king five-nine! We already know you could go in there in five f**king minutes, and you could tear this s**t down. If you ever need us, we are always in your corner, that is one hundred. Right now the bigger picture is this: he has got a mental health initiative he is working on, he is doing s**t with the Detroit Pistons, they got Detroit day coming up soon with Marshall and Trick Trick, and all these people trying to create real change for their neighborhood, for the city. You are doing all this positive s**t on the one hand, and on the other hand, you are out here talking about tying ni**as moms up on this record. Not saying that is what he said, but to me, the bigger picture of that is ‘do you really want to be in that frequency over there? And that vibration? This is me and what I like to see my brother doing: I prefer to see my brother over there doing his mental health initiatives, helping the community, trying to change Detroit for the better. That is what I would rather see my brother doing.”
Crooked continues: “I know a lot of people online want to see the back and forth, and that’s cool too. So half of me, ‘I am with you’, it is on that level too because I know what he can do. He is a killer. And the other half of me is like… more positive works for me these days. Because I am older. We could take that energy all the way to the Slaughterhouse reunion.”
As the Slaughterhouse reunion talks continue, Joe Budden has shared an unreleased “Glass House” album track via his Joe Budden Podcast. Unfortunately, it’s only Joell Ortiz’s part.

After Royce Da 5’9″ and Lupe Fiasco went back and forth at each other, the talks about Slaughterhouse reunion is getting serious day by day.
First it was Joel Ortiz who proposed the reunion. Now Kxng Crooked is teasing the jointure, including now-retired Joe Budden!
Few days ago, in an Interview with PsaHipHOP, Crooked said: “We could take that energy all the way to the Slaughterhouse reunion. We can go create a classic album and we could talk to how many ni**as we need to talk to on a few of them joints and give it to the culture. We could go over there and do that on the Slaughterhouse s**t and reunite for the culture because I believe the fans deserve one last Slaughterhouse.”
And today, Crooked teased the reunion with a crypted audio tweet. Listen to it below:
There are strong rumors that Dr. Dre is working on new album and it’s coming in the near future.
Legendary rapper, Grandmaster Flash, has recently visited Dr. Dre at his studio in Malibu where the legendary producer played some new music for him.
“I get a call from one of my heroes. He invites me to the CRIB, he takes me down to the STUDIO, he played me a project that will change the game! Totally incredible, we top off the day for 2hrs talkin about Music, Family Health and Life. Thanks for the invite Dr. Dre.” – said Grandmaster on Instagram.
