T.I. Upset About Reports Saying Hip Hop Was Connected To Boston Bombing

. . , , , , , , ,

T.I.-Boston

Grammy-winning rapper T.I. took it personal offense to media reporting a connection between hip-hop and the suspects responsible for this week’s Boston bombings. T.I. told TMZ he has no connection to the hip hop website frequented by dead Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev … a site that prominently featured the rapper’s mug. T.I. had no idea his pictures were posted — he’d never even HEARD of Real-HipHop.com — and he’s upset that the hip hop genre is now connected to the bombers. “Hip hop narrates the activity and conditions of our culture,” he tells us. “It doesn’t create them.” T.I. is frustrated: “Hip hop ain’t never been about hurting innocent people,” T.I. said. He feels Boston “was a horrible tragedy and my prayers go out to the families involved.” “Hip hop ain’t never been about hurting innocent people,” T.I. said. “[The bombing] was a horrible tragedy and my prayers go out to the families involved.”

Nas Invests Six-Figure Sum In Mass Appeal Magazine

Eleven years ago, Queens, New York natives Nas and Large Professor graced the cover of Mass Appeal’s 18th issue. Now, Nas is a partial owner of the respected lifestyle magazine and website. Forbes.com reported the undisclosed six-figure investment this morning. “I always liked what Mass Appeal represented,” Nas told the wealth and business publication. “They invested into the culture … I saw their vision for what they planned and I thought I could add value across the board.” Nas is not Mass Appeal’s only new investor. White Owl Capital Partners, which is said to be a newer investment group with international holdings, also invested in the quarterly—which is resuming after a five-year print break.

With one of Nas’ onetime collaborators, Ray Benzino having rather notoriously owned a stake in The Source magazine in the 1990s and 2000s, a publication that praised releases from the Boston, Massachusetts rapper/producer. Nas was asked how he will broach such conflict. Responding to what could be potentially written of the Def Jam veteran, Nas said, “I don’t want to see it until it’s out. I won’t get involved with that at all … I won’t touch anything, they’re free to say whatever they want. They can say I’m a psychopath, they can say I’m a sweetheart.” The full interview on Nas’ business ventures is available at Forbes.com. Mass Appeal’s 52nd issue features Earl Sweatshirt, and an A$AP Family Tree.

Rihanna Comes Down With Laryngitis, Cancels Boston Tour Stop

. . , , , , , , ,

Rihanna just kicked off her Diamonds world tour Friday (March 9), and it’s already hit a snag. The Bajan beauty was forced to cancel her Boston tour stop after losing her voice. Rih Rih’s first stop was at the First Niagara Center, in Buffalo, N.Y.,  where she performed a set that included all of the tracks off Unapologetic, plus the likes of “We Found Love,” “Don’t Stop the Music,” and more. There were also lots of costume changes, during the show. “You guys are all rock stars. There is only one first show, you all have a special place in my heart,” she said at the show. Unfortunately, it appears that she may have gone a little too hard in the pain. From TMZ:

Rihanna has been forced to cancel her concert tonight in Boston after contracting laryngitis, it was announced today. RiRi was scheduled to perform at the TD Garden, but Live Nation postponed the show this morning, saying, “Unfortunately, following her sold out concert on Friday, Rihanna has contracted laryngitis and per doctor’s instruction is unable to perform this evening.” She is scheduled to play a show in Baltimore on Tuesday, which Live Nation says is scheduled to go on as planned. The Boston show will be rescheduled. The 25-year-old will be on the road until summer thanks to the tour, which wraps up July 13 in Finland.
