Month: October 2021

On this day one year ago, legendary underground rapper MF DOOM passed away with an unspecified cause of death. His family only announced the loss several months later on New Year’s Eve. Now, fans who are spending their first Halloween without DOOM are sharing tributes to the late rapper.

“1 year ago we lost the greatest and my favorite artist of all time, the great MF DOOM,” one user tweeted. “I cannot put into words what this man did for my life, I’ll forever by thankful for everything he brought me. Rest In Peace.”

Another shared similar sentiments: “On this day 1 year ago, the world lost one of its greatest talents. The greatest underground rapper of all time. Rest In Peace Daniel Dumile, MF DOOM. Your with your son & brother at last.”

In honor of the anniversary of Doom’s passing, his estate is putting on a benefit event in San Francisco featuring over 30 artists including King Most, Cutso, Jerry Nice, and Abby Imperial. 50% of all proceeds will be donated to the late rapper’s estate. The event is being called DOOMSDAY.

It’s been a busy few months for Kanye West. Fans have been steadily keeping DONDA on rotation while the rapper recently changed his name to Ye. However, fans have been hoping that new music is on the way. DONDA (Deluxe)was teased by Apple Music this week, though there hasn’t been any confirmation on a release date. Plus, the Yeezy STEM player apparently includes three unreleased tracks from DONDA.

Perhaps, we could expect ‘Ye to debut something new this weekend as he recently announced the return of Sunday Service. Kanye West took to Instagram where he announced that he would be reviving his weekly spiritual musical experience. Sunday Service will go down on Oct. 31st at 12 p.m. PT/ 3 p.m. ET and will be available for streaming on Triller and Fite TV.

Maybe Kanye will end up bringing out a few guests this time around. One of the last broadcasted appearances that the Sunday Service Choir made was earlier this year at DMX’s funeral. Yeezy brand and Balenciaga also teamed up to create merch for the late rapper with the proceeds going towards DMX’s family.

Hopefully, Kanye West isn’t running around with a mask at Sunday Service, as he’s been doing for the past few weeks.

Future is promoting new merch referencing his recent viral comments on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith on his Instagram story. 

Responding to someone who posted, “Will Smith need to start hanging out with Future,” the Atlanta rapper quipped, “I rather hang with Jada #respectfully.” The post quickly gained traction on social media.

The merch includes a black pull-over hoodie with the phrase “I rather hang with Jada” on the front.

Future’s comments came after the award-winning actress had mentioned having difficultly keeping things interesting in the bedroom with Will.

“The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey,” Pinkett Smith said on a recent episode of her Facebook Watch show, Red Table Talk, while speaking with famed actress Gwyneth Paltrow. “We started in this at a very young age, you know, 22 years old. That’s why the accountability part really hit for me because I think you expect your partner to know (what you need), especially when it comes to sex. It’s like, ‘Well, if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.’ That’s a huge pitfall.”
