J. Cole is not taking the fact he was snubbed on MTV‘s Hottest MCs list to heart… As a matter of fact, he’s paying the snub no mind. To celebrate surpassing the 2 million follower mark on twitter, Jermaine sampled one of my favorite David Ruffin tracks, “Double Cross”, and serves up a new song, “Grew Up Fast”.

It’s that time. This for yall. DoubleDoubleCrossed.

I like Cole over soul beats. Keep ‘em coming.

It’s all fun and games until someone bring their feelings out. Kanye West was in Melbourne last night free-styling to his ever-so-memorable “Say You Will”, and everything was cool and comedic, until that ONE awkward moment where you start to believe he’s talking about Amber Rose…. The auto-tune is slaying me though. Still love you Yeezy.

Diddy took to his youtube channel to announce his forthcoming television network, REVOLT.

Sean “Diddy” Combs announces REVOLT, his new cable TV network. REVOLT is a revolution in music on television, a place where artists and their viewers come together and engage with technology and social media. It’s a channel where new artists can share their work in the way it was meant to be: raw, uncut, and uncensored. REVOLT was selected by Comcast to be the first music network to truly leverage the power of social media, fueling the live music dialogue and influencing the music culture for the video-centric generation.”

This is huge, and something tells me it will be great! Congrats Diddy!
