Netflix’s “The Get Down” Has Been Cancelled

Netflix’s “The Get Down” Has Been Cancelled! What are everyone’s thought about this?

For those of you who haven’t heard by now… the ground-breaking hip-hop origin storytelling series The Get Down has been cancelled!

Deadline was the first to report the news.

Baz Luhrmann, famous for 1996’s Romeo + Juliet, 2001’s Moulin Rouge, and 2013’s The Great Gatsby explained in a lengthy Facebook post why the series won’t be returning for a new season. Luhrmann confirmed the news when he expressed the show being “unlikely” to go back into production.

Although he poured a lot of love and energy into this project, he also reveals he had to be true to himself. “The simple truth is, I make movies. And the thing with movies is, that when you direct them, there can be nothing else in your life.”

Read the complete statement from Baz below.

Just the entire first season of The Get Down, which was broken into two parts, was reportedly the most expensive Netflix show ever, totally around a flashy price of $120 million.

Fresh of the heels of the newly-minted # 1 star-studded Dj Khaled track “I’m the One” featuring, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne, the Biebs recently previewed new music—or at least a new remix to a certain Kendrick Lamar song that has been tearing up the airwaves.

That’s right, you guessed it! Justin Beiber hopped on the “HUMBLE.” beat. Did he do his thing? The snippet was released Tuesday (May 23rd) while The Bieb was kickin’ it at 1 Oak nightclub in NYC.

Check out the video below. The other half of the video shows Beiber hangin’ with Riff Raff and committing to an extremely dry ass Shmurda Dance. Bobby Shmurda would NOT be proud….

Tomorrow (May 26th), will mark a day to the year since Gucci left prison. To commemorate such a joyous occasion, Guwop will bless fans with Drop Top Wop, a new mixtape entirely produced by Metro Boomin. Earlier this month, Gucci teased the possibility of a joint effort between them via Instagram.

Ice Cube Confirms “Last Friday” On The Late Late Show!

Ice Cube Confirms “Last Friday” On The Late Late Show!

I don’t know about y’all….but I’ve been waiting for a new Friday movie every since the  news leaked about a fourth movie in the works came out years ago!

Since then, time has passed and we’ve seen people such as Ice Cube‘s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton) and comedian/Wild’n Out star DC Young Fly tease us with the possibility of playing the iconic roles of Craig and Smoky.

While the Internet has clearly chosen them for those roles, actual word on the real movie and its casting has been kept quiet..until recently!

Ice Cube sat down with singer Jason Derulo on Tuesday’s (May 16th) episode of The Late Late Show with host James Corden. Cube spoke about his Big 3 basketball league (ex-pro players in pick-up games with old school rules, including hand checking and trash talking), meanwhile Derulo confessed his admiration for the original Friday movie.

Derulo was thrilled  to be up close-and-personal with the N.W.A. legend as he said this about the classic stoner comedy, “Friday was one of my favorite movies of all time. I would watch it every single Friday, it was that serious.”

After talk of the OG Friday, Cube revealed that he’s working on the fourth movie now, making it the last one in the series. According to Billboard, Cube had this to say about the next Friday installment, “We were working on one right now. We’re gonna call it Last Friday.”

While Corden tried finessing his way into a role in Cube’s new project, and failed, the pair did get a bit physical as Corden and Cube playfully trash talked; Cube also displayed the art of hand-checking.

Oh yeah, Jason Derulo bust out some pretty fly-ass Michael Jackson moves too. Check it out below.

Amber Rose’s Twitter Hacker Threw Shots At Tyga Calling His Music ‘Trash’

Amber Rose’s Twitter Hacker Threw Shots At Tyga Calling His Music ‘Trash’

Everyone’s favorite bald-headed baddie Amber Rose had quite a day yesterday.

On Wednesday (May 17), mere hours after Amber had a home intruder break into her crib, kick it there for four hours, leave and not steal anything–something just as horrific happened to Muva Rose Bud. A TWITTER HACK! *deep dramatic gasp*

An anonymous hacker took over Twitter to throw shots at Tyga, rapper ex of her BFF Blac Chyna. “Ever since you left Blac Chyna, your music has been trash. It’s always been trash, just more than usual,” the hacker wrote.

For anyone who cares, Blac Chyna and Tyga dated for three years ultimately calling it quits in 2014. Since then, arguments and public insults have been traded back and forth between the two on Instagram and Snapchat. Add two and two together, this is why the tweets seem likely Rose being behind the Tyga-slandering tweets.

Oh but wait…there’s MORE!

The hacker made it look like Amber was “Becky With the Short Hair.”

Eventually, Amber Rose (the real one) took to Instagram, making a cameo with Power 105.1/The Breakfast Club Host Charlemagne tha God to clear the air. Watch the video here.

Be safe in these Twitter streets y’all!

Fox News’s ex-CEO Roger Ailes Passed Away at Age 77

Fox News’s ex-CEO Roger Ailes Passed Away at Age 77

Roger Ailes created Fox News from the ground-up. Serving as chairman and CEO of the company, Ailes created the controversial politically-charged channel while serving as president of CNBC in the early 1990s.

He eventually left CNBC, and the rest was history. Last summer, Ailes resigned from his company amid sexual allegations from Fox News Channel Host Gretchen Carlson’s sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Ailes denied Carlson’s sexual harassment allegations against him.

Ailes’ career stretched five decades, not only reaching the political arena, but also dabbling in the entertainment field.

In a statement from wife Elizabeth Ailes, she says Roger was her best friend and a loving father to their son, Zachary. She even called him a patriot “grateful to live in a country which gave him opportunity to work hard, to rise-and to give back.”

Cause of death is unknown at the time. Prayers up for the Ailes family in this trying too.

Chris Brown Joins YouTube’s Elite Diamond Club

Chris Brown Joins YouTube’s Elite Diamond Club

Remember when Chris Brown was slapped with a restraining order ON HIS BIRTHDAY by his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran? Although that was a smack in the face for Chris ultimately reminding him of his checkered past— as of late, there is a major silver lining for Brown!

Yesterday (May 17), Chris Brown used his Instagram (@chrisbrownofficial) to post a special letter from YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. Wojcicki sent Chris the letter to congratulate his YouTube channel “movement” on reaching 10 million subscribers, in which Wojcicki compares his channel to the population of New York City.

According to Wojcicki, 10 million subscribers automatically land content creators into YouTube’s coveted Diamond Club. The Diamond Play Button is a pretty solid gift if I may say so myself! Check it out below.

Bryson Tiller Will Be “True To Self” With New Album; Drops Three New Tracks

It’s been a while since we’ve last heard from Bryson Tiller. As of yesterday, it appears Tiller is slated to drop his sophomore effort next month!

Tiller’s debut album, titled T R A P S O U L, was defined by the term and sub-genre he created from scratch— a soulful sound and style matched over trap-like beats.

Earlier this week, Bryson teased fans with more than what we expected, giving us the album art and title plus three new tracks.  True to Self will be Bryson’s second album slated for a June 23rd release.

Calvin Harris Announced New Album Via Twitter

Calvin Harris Announced New Album Via Twitter

Calvin Harris, the Scottish DJ and hit-maker responsible for songs such as “How Deep is Your Love” and “This Is What You Came For”, strikes again with yet another summertime banger.

These past few months, Harris gave us the Frank Ocean and Migos-assisted “Slide”, followed by “Heatstroke” featuring Young Thug and Ariana Grande. While pairing  up artists that seem virtually incompatible, Harris has proved critics wrong making his most recent releases his best ones to date.

Thankfully it doesn’t look like he’ll be slowing down anytime soon. Calvin’s upcoming project, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, along with the project’s cover art, was announced this past Tuesday (May 9) via his Twitter. Furthermore, he dropped more heat to keep us satisfied until June 30th, his album release date.

Check out today’s most recent release from Funk Wav Bounces called “Rollin” featuring Atlanta super-trapper Future and new alt-R&B artist Khalid. The song is available on https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/rollin-feat-future-khalid/id1233869908?i=1233869912&app=music&at=11l4Qg“>iTunes/https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/rollin-feat-future-khalid/id1233869908?i=1233869912&app=music&at=11l4Qg“>Apple Music and Spotify.
