Rumor: Kanye West Reportedly Invests Almost $2 Million In Two Bullet-Proof Cars

Kanye West is reportedly purchasing two bullet-proof vehicles for himself and Kim Kardashian.
As much as Kanye West hates the paparazzi, they love him right back. The latest rumor report from The Daily Star says that 'Ye is dropping almost $2 million for bullet-proof cars, for him and his baby mama.
The gossip site reports that Kanye is investing in 'kid-nap proof' cars. The first, for himself, is a Chevrolet Kodiak based on "Limo One," which is the car President Obama rides around in.
The second car, for Kim Kardashian, is reported to be the Prombron Iron Diamond, made to "military specifications" by Latvian company Dartz Motorz Company. This vehicle is built to withstand landmines and rocket-propelled grenades (which the couple may encounter when driving around L.A?).
The Daily Star cites a source who says that Kanye has a fear of someone kidnapping his baby, although no outright threats have been made, that we know of.
While this could all very well be rumors, if it isn't, do you think they're going overboard?

Pharrell and Future Spotted In The Studio

Pharrell and Future were spotted together in the studio.
 There's definitely no doubting Pharrell's work ethic. After working with everyone from Nicki Minaj, Schoolboy Q, Mike Will Made It, Miley Cyrus, and just about anyone else you can think of, Pharrell's most recent artist he's been spotted in the studio with is Future.
The Neptunes producer posted a photo on Instagram of the pair posed with praying hands while out in a studio in LA. Could they be hinting at a possible song title? Who knows. What we do know is that Future just recently dropped the title track to his upcoming album "Honest", which is set to drop on November 26th.
Future has also previously revealed that he’s recorded with other big names including Kanye West, Rihanna, Diplo, Kelly Rowland, and more. Its just a matter of time before we know which of those records will appear on his new album.

Gucci Mane Sued For Attempting To Play Two Shows In One Night - In Different States

Gucci Mane is being sued by a concert promoter for skipping out on a show early to perform in a different state the same night.
Gucci Mane is known for his prolific output, but not only does he unnecessarily cram more than one mixtape release into a day, he apparently does the same thing with shows.
Empire Entertainment is filing a lawsuit against GuWop, claiming that they didn't get the show they paid for, seeing as Gucci skipped out to do a gig in another state after taking the stage for 15 minutes. 
The promoters apparently gave the rapper $22,500 to perform in Little Rock Arkansas, but became concerned when they saw advertising for a Gucci show in Tennessee the same night.
Gucci and his people assured Empire there were no other shows planned, despite GuWop himself promoting it on Twitter.
Yet when the time came, the rapper only performed three songs in Little Rock before gunning it for Tennessee to play the other gig. On top of that, he drove back to stay in the hotel Empire provided him with after the second concert.
The company claims their sales were compromised by the stunt, and are suing for breach of contract and fraud. Empire is looking to be compensated for Gucci's booking fee, travel, hotel and promotions.

Mac Miller Speaks On "Larry Fisherman" Moniker & Other Personas

Mac Miller speaks on his various personas, and how his music has evolved while staying consistent.
Mac Miller has his share of pseudonyms. The rapper has used the short-lived Larry Loverstein moniker, as well as the increasingly present Larry Fisherman producer name. In an interview with HardKnockTV, Mac spoke of which aspects of his personality these characters represent, and the consistencies and changes from his old music.
"I like creating these characters because I feel like the identity of Mac Milleris... to me, I don't even know who 'Mac Miller the Artist' is, like what I represent, what I stand for.' He explained. "The thing I like about these characters is I feel like I can bring all these pieces of myself and emphasize them."
"Larry Fisherman represents the part of me that's a completely nasty studio rat," Mac said of his producer tag. "In reality, I'm a pretty gross human being. I don't shower until like 9:30 PM, right before I go on stage. When I'm in the studio, I'll just go weeks straight. So that's the studio rat aspect of me."
Mac also touched on the "Larry Lovestein" character brought to life on his You EP from 2012.
"I'm also a big softy at heart," he admitted. "I think everyone always knew that. I don't think I ever really gave off the tough vibe. But there's that side of me as well. Larry Lovestein is...I've kinda have always had this random fantasy of being a seventy-year-old Lounge Jazz singer with a hairy chest that I always show to people, and a thick 'stache, because I can grow facial hair everywhere beside the mustache. Pisses me the fuck off. Why can't I grow a nice, illustrious 'stache? So Larry Lovestein is kinda that, the old-fashioned, classic Jazz singer guy."
Miller then spoke of the people's perception that his music had changed drastically from his early work, which he agreed with to some extent, but also drew some consistencies between WMWTSO and his previous projects. 
"This is the funny thing: everywhere I go, I hear people talk about this huge shift and change in music. 'Oh, you never touched on anything in your music before, and you're suddenly [doing that].' I think that the difference was that this one just had more of it." he said.
Mac concluded that perhaps he had just expanded on certain ideas he'd already touched on in the past. "All that music was always there; it just never took up the majority of the album. I think this one's a little more like that. I think I'm just getting more comfortable with the idea of an album not having all these singles that are things that lead to albums but having these pieces  in there. Which is cool."

Drake Wants To Collabo With Ma$e & Possibly Sign Him

Drake talks about wanting to work with Ma$e in the future, and the possibility of signing him.
Drake brought in a list of hip hop celebrities at this year's OVO Fest in Toronto, and among them were Diddy who was reunited with Ma$e on stage after nine years.  Talking about M-A-Dollar Sign-E, Drizzy talked about possibly signing him. 
In an interview with MTV, the YMCMB talent said that him and the Harlem rapper had talked about working together in the future, " Funny enough, me and Ma$e have just been talking about what the future holds, about what he wants to do," Drake told MTV News." 
Speaking about what Ma$e has brought to the game, Drake calls him "the original fly guy" and mentions that he wants to work with him, and references how Kanye West used him on Cruel Summer and is interested, "I would love to be involved...I know Kanye took an interest in Ma$e as well, because Ma$e is like the original fly guy...Those guys got out there and proved why there are who they are. Two kings doing what they were born to do."
Coming straight out and saying it, Drizzy says he wants to work with him, and told the Harlem World rapper that he hopes they work together soon, "I'd love to work with Ma$e to be honest. I told him, 'man I hope tonight's not our last conversation.' It's been cool, we kicked it and just went out and and got something to eat."

Chris Brown Had A Seizure Last Night In The Studio

Chris Brown reportedly suffered a seizure last night in the studio.
Paramedics rushed to the studio late Thursday night as Chris Brown had apparently suffered a seizure. 
TMZ reports that at 1:09am on Friday morning, 911 was called into Record Plant studio in Hollywood after it was reported that Brown has suffered from a seizure.  He appeared to be ok once they arrived and refused treatment and did not want to go to the hospital. 
Apparently, this is different than the “seizures” that reportedly Lil Wayne suffered, as the R&B artist was known to have them as a child.  At this time it is not confirmed that Breezy indeed had a seizure, but reports indicate that he most likely did.
