MegaDon Concert At The Grog Shop

MegaDon got blessed to open up for one of my favorite artists, Project Pat, at the Grog Shop in Cleveland Hts, OH!!

I wrote a review for Cleveland, Ohio artist MegaDon a while back for his Edgewater Ep, so when he told the station about an upcoming show for which he would be opening up for Project Pat, I totally could not pass up the oppertunity!

The concert was held at the legendary Grog Shop in the historic Coventry Village area located in the suburb of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Since this was my very first time attending a show at the Grog Shop, I was very excited, and could not wait to turn up!

Prior to MegaDon coming to the stage, there was a group of young men who had “RIP XXX” on they shirts. A very cool dance group, they literally held the crowd’s attention…peep the video below!

After the artists with the “RIP XXX” left the stage, it was time for MegaDon to enter! I totally felt his energy mixed with a little bit of excitement and probably a little bit of nervousness, with an overall stage presence that demanded attention. Some of the songs MegaDon performed were from the Edgewater Ep. You could tell the crowd was feeling it by the wave of hands in the air vibing to the music.

Once his set was over, MegaDon shouted out his family who came to support, 216 The Beat radio station, Cream, the station owner and even me, Mz. Slim Goody! I admit it felt good to finally support one of the artists who supports the station & puts on for my City of Cleveland!!!

For more of MegaDon’s performance check out the video below!

FYI! Excuse my so called video editing LMAO

XXL 2018 Freshman Class Cover

Yesterday XXL Magazine previewed the 2018 Freshman Class cover.

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

Yesterday while scrolling through my time line on Instagram, I got to see the cover for XXL’s 2018 Freshman Class! First, shout out to my home state, OHIO, for Trippie Redd done made the cover. The artists that I am proud to see too are: Lil Pump, Blocboy JB, and Smokepurpp.

For the other artists to whom I am not familiar with, I want to congratulate too! I am a little bothered that some artists who I think should have been on the cover, wasnt. I thought Lil Baby was going to get on it, but I think he changed his mind. NBA Youngboy is a good one that was not picked. Bhad Bhabie, even though I do love to hate on this young girl, but her music do bang & garnered clout. Tekashi 69 did not make the cover either, prolly due to him doing humanatarian efforts out in Chicago LOL.

Who else do you all think should have made the cover for 2018?

Drake Could Not Stay Silent For Long!!!!

Last night Drake finally dropped his response to Pusha T’s “The Story of Adidon” called “I’m Upset”

As I sit at my desk at work just ready to push some medical charges out, I logs into my YouTube to find a new Drake video…Im like whoa…do we FINALLY have a response from the Canadian Mist himself???

Well, I can say that he did not clap back at Pusha T with lyrical venom like we assumed he would. No…he did make some references to his questionable baby mother on the hook saying “Can’t go 50/50 with no ho”.

Overall, the most exciting part of the video was seeing the Degrassi reunion!!! For those who do not know, Drake starred in the show Degrassi, a Canadian born show from 2001 to 2009, whose character was Jimmy.

Drake’s fans got to see a slew of the fictional school’s most famous alumni, including Shane Kippel (Spinner), Stacey Farber (Ellie) Adamo Rugguiero (Marco), Lauren Collins (Paige), Jake Epstein (Craig), Christina Schmidt (Terri), Andrea Lewis (Hazel), Melissa McIntyre (Ashley), Linlyn Lue (Ms. Kwan), Stefan Brogren (Mr. Simpson), Jake Goldsbie (Toby), Marc Donato (Derek), Dalmar Abuzeid (Danny), AJ Saudin (Connor), Miriam MacDonald (Emma), Cassie Steele (Manny), Nina Dobrev (Mia), Sarah Barrable-Tishauer (Liberty), and Paula Brancati (Jane).

There’s even Ephraim Ellis, who played Rick β€” the student who shot Drake’s character Jimmy in one of the show’s most iconic episodes, leaving him in a wheelchair.

Drake even made sure that he was not the only one with drama…his old class mates shared a few themselves! There’s vandalism, public intoxication, and even a bathroom stall hookup or two.

Mr. Simpson at one point even buys some drugs from two other famous Degrassi alum: Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith).

Jaime Foxx Accused of Slapping Woman with his Penis

Per Vibe magazine, Jaime Foxx has been accused of slapping a woman with his penis back in 2002.

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

Unfortunately, Jaime Foxx finds himself being accused of sexual misconduct with a female, back in 2002, at a Las Vegas hotel. The accuser is stating that after denying Foxx of oral sex, he then slapped her with his penis, and kicked her out of his hotel room.

The accuser claims that she did go to the emergency room the next day after she suffered a panic attack from the abuse. Per TMZ, Jaime Foxx’s attorney Allison Hart, said that the star β€œemphatically denies” the accusation and that he plans to file a report with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department accusing the woman of filing a false report.

β€œThe alleged incident was not reported to law enforcement in 2002, or at any other time in the last sixteen years until last Friday because the incident never happened,” Hart added. β€œWe consider it to be extraordinarily reckless for any publication to publish this bogus story.”

In Las Vegas, the statute of limitations is only 3 years, so if Jaime was to be found guilty of sexual misconduct, the city will not pursue any further.

My thoughts…..For one, do not put yourself in the position to be slapped by a penis. If this did happen, why was the girl down there for his penis to reach her? Maybe he smelled a little tart down there? Who knows?? AND….Why wait this long to report being slapped by a penis?? Wow???

Spotify Removes “Hate Conduct” Policy Following Backlash

Spotify has now removed its “Hate Conduct” policy following backlash after removing R Kelly & XXXTentacion songs

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

I swear these days, anything that is remotely in reference to R Kelly’s music is feeling some type of heat right now! Why?? Obviously his fans are outraged that due to these recent kidnap and “slavery” type of allegations going around makes it quite hard to enjoy listening to his music. So much so that in May Spotify declared that they will make R Kelly’s and XXXTentacion’s music to not be as easily accessible as before with a “Hate Consent & Hateful Conduct” policy.

Sounds like a good idea right? Well….after Spotify had made their stance against R Kelly and XXTentacion’s music, their fans made sure to search out and play these artists songs more than usual! They literally brought both artist streaming stats to record highs that Spotify had no choice but to bring these artist’s music back!

In a statement released on Friday, the streaming service said it had created “confusion and concern”.

On Wednesday Spotify CEO Daniel Ek admitted it “could have done a much better job”.

On Friday, they explained the policy, which has 2 parts. The first, relating to the decision to remove artists from playlists if they were involved in “controversies”, has now been reversed.

“We created concern that allegations might affect artists’ chances of landing on a Spotify playlist and negatively impact their future,” the statement explains.

“Some artists even worried that mistakes made in their youth would be used against them. That’s not what Spotify is about.”

The second part focused on hate content, described as content whose principal purpose is to incite hatred or violence.

Spotify says this policy will remain but they clarified that “offensive, explicit, or vulgar content” don’t violate the terms.

Some artists feel as if its only hop hop music that’s being targeted. I think overall, Spotify wants to just stay out the clear of everything & hope to please everyone while still maintaining a safe musical environment.

Nigerians Celebrate World Cup Theme Song!!

Nigerians Celebrating World Cup theme song featuring Davido, Wizkid, and JJ Okocha that came out on June 1st!

One of Africa’s most celebrated artists, WizKid, made the announcement on Thursday that the official Nigeria National Team Collection is coming out on June 1st as well as a new World Cup Theme song who features Davido, Wizkid, and JJ Okocha.

What makes this announcement so special, is that Pepsi,the soft drink company, has joined the campaign as well! Since the announcment the video has been doing rounds on other social media sites featuring players from the Nigerian footbal team plus other celebrities such as Tiwi Savage.

In a campaign dubbed #NaijaAllTheWay speaks of a Naija Spirit that can not be defeated even when Nigerians lose. The artists and footballers proudly thump their chests in a salute, almost similar to the now famous Wakanda salute from Black Panther.

Unfortunately, the Super Eagles lost yesterday against England which deflated the hype that got 3 million of those jerseys sold just on Friday.

Nigeria’s goalscorer in the game, Alex Iwobi is featured in the video, alongside another star player, Victor Moses, and the legendary Jay Jay Okocha.

The Super Eagles will face Croatia on June 16 at the Kaliningrad Stadium in their opening game, before taking on Iceland on June 22 at the Volgograd Arena, while their last group fixture is against Argentina at the Krestovsky Stadium, St.Petersburg.

Artistic Rebels 3rd Anniversary

#Team216TheBeatCleveland had the opportunity to broadcast live at the Artistic Rebels 3rd Anniversary party and dance competition.

The Cleveland team had the chance to broadcast live at the Artistic Rebels 3rd Anniversary party and dance competition in Beachwood, OH on May 19th. While my team was setting things up, I had the chance to check out the venue & meet the different dance crews who were participating in the competition. The first group, for which I already figured out who they was, the Artistic Rebels, who was dressed in all black with red lettering. The next group, TK Entertainment, hailing from my father’s & LeBron’s hometown, Akron, OH. One of the groups whose energy was I truly enjoyed was, Next Step. Then last but not least the group, Mute Crew.

As soon as 7:30pm came in one of 216 The Beats djs, Dj Raven, started playing on the 1s & 2s….a whole vibe entered the dance studio. Every time I turned my head it was someone dancing or doing their own dance move getting hyped! The dance competition did not start yet, so I assumed the dancers were just warming up to past time.

The energy was so positive throughout the whole event. I can admit, due to my busy schedule, I rarely get time to myself just to have fun, and I can say that not me, but the rest of 216 The Beat crew truly enjoyed ourselves. It felt like a mini melting pot. There was people of different races, for example, it was a guy, who just joined the Artistic Rebels, had came up to represent for his crew, people of all different ages…I think the oldest person was 50 and the youngest was 2 years old, and with all those teens there, nobody started any drama or fights.

The Artistic Rebels, which is an entertainment company who specializes in promotion, choreography and more, truly held a great and organized event. I loved seeing all the support from everyone who came out to the event, some even danced in the mirror by themselves LOL Their was 2 dancers that got my attention was a young girl, I believe she is part of TK Entertainment crew, can dance!! I also enjoyed watching this younger kid who looked to be about 8, he kept doing one of my favorite dance move that is hot right now!

Once the time changed to 9:30pm, the competition was ready to start! Unfortunately, I had to leave before the competition ended, but I will say is that EVERY crew brought it! The 3 winners were:

1st Place – Dauve
2nd Place – Ernie
3rd Place – Limbo Joe

On behalf of 216 The Beat Radio, we want to congratulate the winners!! I hope we will be back next year for the 4th anniversary.

Savage x Fenty, Rihanna’s New Lingerie Line

 

Rihanna lingerie line, Savage x Fenty, will be debuting in 11 days, and will also cater to plus size women too!

I swear anything Rihanna touches turns into gold & adds a level of sophistication that can not be duplicated. Savage x Fenty, Rihanna’s new lingerie line will do just that! The multi platinum selling recording artist is already riding the waves from her successful make up line, Fenty, which debuted in September 2017. The singer announced that the line will be offering women sizes from extra small to 3x. A video ad featuring plus size model, Audrey Ritchie, in the campaign wearing a pale pink bra and underwear set. In the video Ritchie makes references to her “really giant” chest. Peep the video below…

savages come in all shapes and sizes!! ya ready? @savagexfenty MAY.11.2018

A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on

 

In the video, Ritchie, states “They were double D’s by the time I was in the eighth grade” in reference to growing confident in her own skin.
“I think I feel most sexy in the morning: rolls, stretch marks, cellulite,” she said. “Whichever gender you choose to have sex with, you should be proud and find yourself sexually.”

This new line will be debuting officially on May 11, 2018, and will feature bra sizes ranging from 32A to a 44DD, while underwear sizes come in extra small to 3X. Rihanna will definitely win with this venture for the average woman is a size 16 to 18, which means that its a demand for clothing to fit those sizes. The plus-size women’s clothing industry is valued at $17 billion according to the NDP Group.

savages come in all shapes and sizes!! ya ready? @savagexfenty MAY.11.2018

Per the comments fans of made regarding the lingerie line, I think Rihanna will have no problem with sales after it debuts. Like her cosmetic line, Fenty, Rihanna is making sure that her products cater to EVERYONE & motivating women to love the skin they are in. WE LOVE YOU RI RI!!!
