  • Ma$e Loses Cover Art Lawsuit Over Instagram Photo Following Performance for a Crowd of Less Than 50 People in London

    Former Bad Boy rapper Ma$e has been ordered to pay after losing a cover art lawsuit over an Instagram photo. The news comes on the heels of the rapper's underwhelming performance for a crowd of less than 50 people in London.According to reports, model Stephanie Delgado accused the Harlem rhymer of appropriating an Instagram photo of hers and using it as the cover art for his single "Why Can't We" without permission. Following her accusations in April, Delgado sued Ma$e over her claim.As noted by "TMZ," Ma$e was ordered to pay her $7,500. Delgado was reportedly awarded the money in default as Ma$e apparently never responded to her claim.Delgado was originally seeking damages in the area of $60,000, but was not awarded that sum because she was unable to prove earnings matching what she was asking for in previous photo shoots.Just last month, Ma$e was forced to perform in front of an intimate-sized crowd after fellow New Yorkers Fat Joe and Foxy Brown dropped out of their London gig. Joe was not able to get in the country and Brown pulled out with no explanation. The "Ill Na Na" rapstress jumped on Instagram during the performance and took shots at Ma$e's underwhelming crowd. She did not mention why she bailed on performing, though.

  • 'Rolling Stone' Calls Kanye West's '808s & Heartbreak' One of the Most Groundbreaking Albums of All Time

    "Rolling Stone" recently recognized a few albums that have changed the game, and among them, Kanye West's "808s & Heartbreak" was named one of the "most groundbreaking albums of all time."Since its release, West's 2008 album has proven that hip-hop is not always about trap beats and toting guns. West's ability to try something different and succeed so effortlessly has made the album a standout in his discography."Kanye West's Auto-Tune-heavy, emotionally naked fourth album came after a brutal year during which his mother died and his engagement broke up," the legendary music-based magazine wrote of the album. "But the album's cavernous sound and exposed-soul lyrics confused even those who had been aware of West's recent trials."Its core aesthetic was like nothing in Hip Hop: freshly butchered feelings enumerated in detail, but masked by digital processing; beds of spare synths used to balance a mix of singing and rapping. However, over time it served as a new template for up-and-comers in Hip Hop and R&B. Drake cited West as his budding sound's 'most influential person' when he was hustling mixtapes, while artists like Future further tweaked the idea of using Auto-Tune as a way to convey emotions that evoke too much feeling when spoken of explicitly."

  • Miley Cyrus Performs New Song 'The Twinkle Song' at Art Basel [WATCH]

    Art Basel was not just a time for studio artists to show off their pieces. It was also a week for performance artists and musicians like Drake to show off their wild side for the sake of art and step outside their normal comfort zone. This is a perfect breeding ground for someone like the eccentric Miley Cyrus to perform a new song called "The Twinkle Song" she just wrote about her friend's just-deceased cat, via "Billboard."Cyrus stands on stage in a sparkling silver and purple wig and a silver, trimmed-down leotard performing the song for the first time outside of her own living room."I've never played by myself on a stage before and you've never played a song that I've only played in my living room before, so I'm a little nervous," Cyrus explained.Before sitting down in front of the piano on stage, she explained the inspiration behind the song. She had been having dreams about her friend's cat dying the night it did tragically died. She said, "I feel like her cat kind of told me what I was supposed to say to get her through it ... It was more therapy to me than anything."
