Gorillaz, Future, and LL Cool J Bring Out Special Guests for Day 2 of Meadows Festival


According to 247hiphopnews;



The Meadows Music and Arts Festival proved to be just as explosive as its predecessor in which the likes of 21 Savage, Joey Bada$$, Migos, and JAY-Z took to the stage on its opening day on Friday [Spetember 15]. Day 2 continued the winning streak with the likes of Future, LL Cool J, and Gorillaz (in the flesh) keeping each other company on the lineup during the festival at Citi Field in Queens.
In the case of Uncle L, fans were treated to special guest appearance from DMC, Grandmaster Flash, and A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip and Jarobi White to perform “Award Tour” of the group’s Midnight Marauders album following ATCQ’s official announcement to disband as a group in memory of fallen member Phife Dawg, who passed away in March of last year.
For Future’s appearance, the Atlanta-reared rapper recruited the likes of Young Thug, Nicki Minaj, and Yo Gotti for a few assists onstage. Among tracks in his performance were his “Stick Talk,” the 21 Savage collab “X,” “Commas,” “March Madness,” and , of course “Mask Off”. He also gave  the crowd  a live iteration of “Rake It Up” with Yo Gotti and Queens-native Nicki Minaj blessing the stage together, and intorduced Young Thug who seamlessly ran through cuts like “Pick Up The Phone,” “Lifestyle,” “About The Money,” and the two rappers’ “Relationship” collaboration.
While Meadows presented a mix a true Hip-Hop enthusiasts dreams in the forms of these guests and a primary lineup that also included Tory Lanez, Flatbush Zombies, and even Erykah Badu, no set was as heavily stacked than the headlining performance of Gorillaz, who in a twist on things, appeared in their human form in front of a screen onto which their animated alter egos were projected.
While fans grasped the appearance of Gorillaz ringleader Damon Albarn, they were also gifted with a flurry of spots from the likes of De La Soul (who appeared in their own set earlier in the day) on “Feel Good Inc.”, Pusha T for “Let Me Out,” Little Simz on “Garage Palace,” Big Baby himself, D.R.A.M. on “Andromeda” and a rendition of “We Got the Power” alongside Jehnny Beth sans Noel Gallagher, and Mos Def for an encore performance of “Stylo.”
Sunday [September 17] will mark a day filled with Nas, Action Bronson, Kamaiyah, Ghostface Killah, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

DJ KHALID SON WEARS A $2000 SUIT TO MTV MVA

 DJ Khaled's got his son rocking the best in fashion. DJ Khaled has never been shy about expressing how special the bond between him and his son Asahd have, whether its in public or over social media. For example, the Grateful producer brought his son on stage with him at the Billboard Hot 100 music festival earlier this month, with the crowd cheering him on as family photos played in a montage behind the toddler. In addition to that, Khaled also said that he bit the bullet and flew for the first time in a decade, all because of his son. Now, he's helping his son look beyond fresh as both he and Asahd took to the red carpet prior to the MTV Video Music Awards. According to E! Online, the 10-month-old was clad in a Gucci suit that was embroidered with images of cartoon monsters. Adorable, sure. Expensive, hell yes. The ensemble would set you back roughly $2,000 if you're looking to purchase it for your little one. It includes the $820 jacket, a $260 button-down shir...

Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee Countersuing In Water Bottle Lawsuit TMZ reports that Swae Lee is fighting back. The latest incident of a lawsuit stemming from a serious concert injury hit hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd last week, after a man in Michigan filed documentation against the rappers that alleges his face was horribly disfigured after he was struck by an errant water bottle that was forcefully thrown off the stage by one of the performers. As per our previous report, the show during which the injury took place went down in October of 2016, where neither emcee supposedly gave any warning of turning their water bottles into projectiles that were to be launched into the crowd. The man's legal representatives are claiming that part of his face was "ripped off" from the sheer force of the object that was thrown, leading to the suit for assault, negligence and battery, as well as sticking Rae Sremmurd for the cash for his medical bills. Now, Swae Lee has answered the bell...
