BlueBucksClan Plug Their Own Weed Strain On “How To Roll”

by

If you’ve spent any time in Los Angeles in the last year, you likely already have a good idea of who the BlueBucksClan is. Taking over the airwaves in California, Jeeezy Obama and DJ have been blowing up as the latest rap duo to make waves on the West Coast, working with Quavo, Lil Yachty, Hit-Boy, and others on their way to the top. Their latest album Clan Virus 2 has been doing numbers and the Clan has been making moves in other spaces as well.

On the latest episode of How To Roll, Jeeezy and DJ speak about their brand new weed strain, Clan Exotic, also telling us their favorite cannabis-fueled stories. Of the two, DJ is the designated stoner. Jeeezy doesn’t seem to be too into weed, despite having their own strain. Clowning his partner on the amount of flower he smokes, Jeeezy laughed at DJ smoking “every five minutes.” These days, DJ is pretty much only smoking his strain, but he used to be tapped into the high-THC count strains, like gelato and biscotti.

Watch the latest episode of How To Roll above to hear BlueBucksClan talk about their personal smoking habits, the first times they ever got high, their opinions on concentrates, and much more.

Netflix’s ‘Master Of None’ Presents ‘Moments In Love,’ A Concert Inspired By The Series

by

Late last month, Netflix’s dramedy series Master Of None returned to the streaming service after a four-year hiatus with a renewed focus on Lena Waithe’s character Denise and her partner, Naomi Ackie’s Alicia. As the series now focuses on the ups and downs of a single relationship rather than Aziz Ansari’s character Dev’s quest romance, the third season bears the subtitle Moments In Love.

The subtitle also applies to a new “live music experience” released today to promote the show, which features up-and-coming Black and queer R&B artists telling their stories of love. Included in the performance are Asiahn, a Los Angeles singer-songwriter who has written for the likes of Dr. Dre and Drake, Avery Wilson, who gained notice as a contestant on The Voice, Durand Bernarr, who’s sung backing vocals for Erykah Badu and The Internet, and Tiffany Gouché, a longtime industry vet whose musical family includes D Smoke and SiR, her cousins.

“Moments In Love” also includes a conversation between Waithe and neo-soul pioneer Maxwell. Shot at Winston House, the performance highlights the same sort of complex, unconventional love depicted in the show, making it a perfect pairing — and a fitting introduction to some of the most unique and talented rising stars in music.

Watch “Moments In Love” in love above and catch season three Master Of None streaming now on Netflix.

Tinashe Returns With Buddy On Elegant “Pasadena”

by

Singer Tinashe has been on a steadfast grind throughout 2021 with a string of releases and collaborations, now that her label drama seems to bed definitively over. In these past few months, the R&B trailblazer has teamed up with the likes of EDM pop duo Cheat Codes as well as an appearance on the “Black History Always/Music for the Movement” playlist by ESPN. Just in time for the summer, Tinashe is back again with an explosive new single “Pasadena” with California singer Buddy.

“Pasadena” will easily rise to your summer vibes or R&B playlist with its consistent and fast driving percussion. Tinashe floats in and out of the instrumental– layered with lush strings and synths– with refined melodies. Airy harmonies continue to expand the atmosphere of the track as the verses turn into chorus. 

Buddy shows his impressive range as well, moving seamlessly between smooth R&B singing and fast-paced rap lyricism. Backed by Tinashe’s vocal layers behind him, Buddy’s bars about love and sexuality successfully interpolate the themes of the song. 

Tinashe teased the track, as well as a possible upcoming full release, on Tuesday. The singer’s last full length album, Songs for You, was released independently in 2019 after she split with RCA records. She now releases her independently via Tinashe Music Inc. along with her managers at Jay Z’s Roc Nation.

Quotable Lyrics:

The summer’s comin’ ’round the corner
And now I’m feelin’ like I don’t even know ya
I’m never leavin’ California
Now more than ever life is all what you make it
I got a vision of a perfect night

 

Young Thug Shares PSA On The Difference Between Real & Fake Pills

by

Far too many of our youth are dying while experimenting with drugs in recent years. America is in the midst of a serious opioid crisis, which takes thousands of lives every single year. Some of our favorite artists, including Juice WRLD, Lil Peep, and others, have passed away as a direct result of their drug consumption habits, so it’s important for people to be educated about what they’re putting inside their bodies.

Young Thug shared a PSA on how to spot the differences between real and fake pills, clarifying that he’s not promoting drug use. While he’s not encouraging his fans to go out and buy pills, he issued a warning to any of his followers who do use drugs, explaining one of his tricks on how to quickly differentiate between real and fake pills.

“Stop doing drugs, especially pills because they be fake,” said Young Thug on Instagram Stories. “But if you do do them, this is a real effect. If it glows when you put it under a light, it’s real. If it don’t glow, it’s not a real pill.” He proceeded to show what he means, placing a pill over his phone’s flashlight and showing the branding shining through, which means it’s legit. 

This information is important for all drug users to understand in order to protect themselves. There’s so much fake product in the streets and you could do permanent damage to yourself, including death, if you don’t carefully inspect your pills before consuming them.

Stay safe and don’t do drugs, kids. If you choose to take pills, consider following Young Thug’s advice.

If you’re struggling with substance abuse and are seeking help, please call the American Addiction Center’s hotline at (866) 786-1691.

MoneyBagg Yo Says He’s Got The Song Of The Year

by

Memphis rapper MoneyBagg Yo thinks he’s got a song of the year candidate, telling fans that “Wockesha” is the best track to have been released this year.

The certified speaker has officially unleashed his latest hit record: the DeBarge-sampling “Wockesha” from his new album A Gangsta’s Pain. Much like Ashanti’s “Foolish,” MoneyBagg Yo grabbed the classic sample and flipped it into a codeine love song, serenading his double cup and explaining all of the reasons why he loves to sip. The record has been celebrated by hip-hop fans as one of the best songs on the album and according to Bagg, it might be one of the top songs of the entire year.

The rapper made the bold declaration on Friday morning, tweeting, “Wockesha Song Of Da Year! [trophy emoji] [fire emoji].”

MoneyBagg Yo’s confidence is commendable. While not many people are agreeing with his take in the comments, some people see where he’s coming from, voicing their appreciation for the record and requesting a remix and music video. It appears as though Lil Wayne is the most requested artist for a remix, which makes sense given his love for codeine too.

Do you think “Wockesha” is the best rap song of the year so far? If not, let us know what your favorite song of 2021 is in the comments.

Cardi B, Doja Cat, Saweetie, And More Are Kid-Approved In A Cute TikTok Video

by

Reversing one of TikTok’s favorite challenges, a newly surfaced video proves the kids just might be alright. While the app has become known as a launching pad for some artists’ careers — artists like Bella Poarch, Foushee, and Lil Nas X — it’s also a place where the generation gap couldn’t be more evident as teens challenged their older relatives to identify stars of today like DaBaby, Lil Baby, and others. However, one parent flipped the trend, showing photos of stars to her toddler, and the wholesome video rapidly accumulated a huge number of views, jumping to other platforms as well.

Seeing photos of Beyonce, Cardi B, Chance The Rapper, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Pop Smoke, and Saweetie, the child correctly identifies most of them, getting extra excited for Cardi B and Doja, although we’ll give points for effort for exclamations of “Baby!” and “Pop Soaps!” However, one of the more inexplicable answers is for Megan Thee Stallion, who for some reason, the baby identifies as “Grandma.”

As these acts all hover in the upper echelons of the Hot 100 whenever they drop new music, it’s no wonder they’re kid-approved — or maybe it’s the other way around. In any case, judging by this toddler’s reactions, Cardi and Doja look to have long careers ahead of them — and Megan Thee Stallion might want to check her mail for that AARP card.

Floyd Mayweather Vs. Logan Paul Earnings Breakdown Revealed

by

Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul will be fighting against each other on Sunday and it should prove to be an incredible spectacle. The fight itself is a bit of a wildcard although the actual fanfare is about to be pretty intense. After all, Logan Paul is a massive entertainer all while Mayweather is one of the greatest boxers of all-time, who has beaten some of the best to ever step in the ring. It seems obvious as to who will win, although no matter what happens, these guys are making a lot of money.

In fact, a new report from Sporting Free claims that there is a substantial earnings gap between Logan and Floyd. Mayweather will make $10 million from the fight, while Paul will only get $250,000. As for the share of the Pay-Per-View earnings, Floyd will get 50 percent while Paul will get 10 percent.

While the gap is pretty large, it makes sense when you consider how Floyd has a lot more to lose here. Not to mention, Paul can still make a lot of money, especially with each PPV costing $50 USD. If 4 million people were to purchaser the PPV, Logan could make $20 million while Mayweather would make $100 million. Needless to say, this is a solid value proposition for all of the parties involved.

Let us know if you plan on watching the fight, in the comments below. Also, be sure to give us your predictions.
