What's Your Favorite Guns N Roses Track?

Mainstream hard rock wasn't the same after the members of Guns n' Roses sank their teeth into it. During its late '80s and early '90s heyday, Guns n' Roses perpetually teetered on the brink of chaos and threatened to implode.

Guns n' Roses' penchant for chaos and unpredictable behavior grew in proportion with its popularity; in fact, this was part of its charm. But despite hard rock tendencies and an off-putting attitude, the band had deep respect for tradition.

Unfortunately, the stress and tension that came with global superstardom—and distractions ranging from various members' substance abuse issues to notorious concert riots in St. Louis and Montreal —took their toll.

Axl Rose is worth $200 million as of 2018, putting him nearly on par with modern day superstar Kanye West. Unlike many of today's musicians, who make money from acting and endorsement deals, most of Rose's earnings are from album sales and touring.

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is the most loved song from Guns N Roses selected by members of the Wrap-Up Magazine. What's Your Favorite Guns N Roses Track? Comment or share this article. Lets get more involved.

Kanye West Sues Roc-A-Fella Records

Kanye West is suing both Roc-A-Fella Records and EMI for an undisclosed amount of owed money. TMZ revealed that a lot of information is redacted from the lawsuits, but it shows that he's asking for a declaration of his rights and owed money.

The lawsuit also shows that Kanye West signed a deal with EMI in 2003 before releasing The College Dropout, and by 2011 he had written or collaborated on over 200 songs that he gave EMI the rights to. While specific songs weren't listed in the lawsuit, Kanye wrote some of his most influential and successful songs during this time period.

Kanye West is being represented by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, which is noted as one of the most prestigious and selective law firms in the world.

Who Discovered the Most Rappers

Macaulay Culkin Speaks Out About Michael Jackson

The Home Alone star maintained a close friendship with the music legend from the early 90s, and spoke at Jackson’s trial on charges of child molestation, calling the allegations against the star ‘absolutely ridiculous’.

And nearly ten years after Michael’s death, Macaulay has shared an insight into his friendship with the star, who was 22 years older than him.

‘He reached out to me because a lot of things were happening, big and fast with me and I think he identified with that. At the end of the day, it’s almost easy to say it was weird or whatever but it wasn’t because it made sense. At the end of the day, we were friends.’

Macaulay – who shot to fame in 1990 when he played Kevin McAllister in Home Alone – continued: ‘I was a peerless person. Nobody else in my Catholic school had even this much idea of what I was going through and he was the kind of person who’d been through the exact same frickin’ thing and wanted to make sure I wasn’t alone.’ Culkin told Rosenbaum that he would often prank call people with MJ, saying: ‘He was fucking hilarious. He was charming, fucking funny, silly.’

Chris Brown Talks Michael Jackson

What do you think about this? I know my opinion doesn't matter, but still it's a little too far for a grown man and a child. The former child star appeared in Jackson’s video for Black or White in 1991, and went on to support the singer in his trial in 2005 where Jackson was charged with molesting a 13-year old boy.

Burna Boy Named Hottest Artist In Nigeria @burnaboy

It speaks volumes when your first-ever appearance on #TheList is at #1. That’s the kind of year Burna Boy has had.

His album, Outside, released as far back as January, is arguably the best album of 2018. His song “Ye” is arguably the biggest song of 2018. With over 60% of Team NJO voting him at #1, Burna Boy is the hottest artist in Nigeria!

Both home and abroad, Burna Boy has flourished. With Fall Out Boy’s “Mania” album earning a Grammy nod for “Best Rock Album“, Burna Boy could be going home with a Grammy in the next couple of months, thanks to his feature on the track “Sunshine Riptide“, the only feature on an album which peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

He also worked with the likes of Major Lazer and Lily Allen, got featured on YouTube’s Artist on the Rise, sold out Brixton Academy, and “Ye” went viral on Spotify USA (thanks in part to Kanye West’s “Ye” album). Let’s not forget, “Outside” got on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. All these and more have led to industry gatekeepers like DJ Ebro predicting a Burna Boy takeover in 2019.

The New Apple IPlane

During the meeting with President Trump and Kanye West, West suggested that Trump should fly on the ‘iPlane 1’, instead of the current Air Force One, a Boeing VC-25AS aircraft.

Following the meeting, the designer of the concept, Shabtai Hirshberg, told The Verge that Kanye’s words “completely caught [him] by surprise”.

The original design was posted back in 2012 and is called ‘Aerocruiser’. It was created as part of the Detroit-based designer’s master’s degree, with the project titled, “Redesign of a Commercial Aircraft for 2030”.

Hirshberg added that while Apple is not involved at this stage, he is currently working on a smaller version of the craft.

New YEEZY Basketball Shoe Banned

Kanye West is expected to debut his first-ever Yeezy basketball sneaker on the feet of Adidas athletes during the upcoming NBA season. But the league office would ban the current version of the sneaker on court because of its gleaming, reflective-material heel, according to industry sources.

While the monochromatic sneakers won’t violate the league’s footwear color restrictions, the issue is the reflective “3M” heel panel, which the NBA would find potentially distracting for both in-arena spectators and television viewers.

Carmelo Anthony faced a similar issue with the metallic chrome heel of his Jordan M10 signature sneakers while playing for the New York Knicks. He later wore an updated version with a matte paint finish.

Players are no longer required to wear shoes matching their team’s uniform colors, but the league still has an approval process for new silhouettes from brands in advance of the season.

According to Christopher Arena, the NBA’s vice president of identity, outfitting and equipment, companies will typically submit sneakers for the first half of the season by early August, with shoes scheduled to be worn after the All-Star break required for approval by early December.

While the league office has yet to receive and formally review the new Yeezy basketball shoe in person, the version shared online by West would not be permitted on court as is, according to a source. Alternative versions of the sneaker that don’t incorporate the reflective material would likely be approved.

The league has banned or issued warnings for several sneakers in its history, most famously Michael Jordan’s black and red Nike Air Jordan 1 sneaker in 1985. Nike almost instantly turned the buzz around the Bulls star’s banished debut sneakers into a marketing campaign, vaulting the signature series into rare air and sparking the dawn of collectible-sneaker culture. Three decades later, the Jordan Brand has become its own fully fledged subsidiary of the Nike Inc. company, with annual revenues topping $3 billion.

In a recent post on his @KanyeWest Instagram, the Chicago native explained that his Yeezy basketball shoe has been in development for over three years and undergone nearly 300 sample updates.

The new model is expected to finally make its much-anticipated debut during the 2018-19 season, with Adidas non-signature athletes like Donovan Mitchell, Brandon Ingram, John Wall, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Nick Young potentially wearing the shoe in early 2019. Retail release dates and a finalized price point have yet to be determined.

Earlier Monday, during an interview with paparazzi in Los Angeles, West discussed his long-term vision for his collaborative brand with Adidas and his eventual goal to bring the manufacturing of his sneaker line stateside.

“The Yeezys will be made in America,” he said. “We’re putting a factory in Chicago.”

Hanz Gable @hanz_gable - I'll Drink To That #NowPlaying

Hanz Gable

Varied. dynamic. melodic. knowledgeable. political, & connected .. each of these characteristics describe an aspect of Brooklyn, NY born rapper Hanz Gable’s persona and his debut EP, I’ll Drink To That, puts his full spectrum on display. “My style is versatile, man” he declares.

Though I’ll Drink To That is his first collection, this is not his first rodeo. Hanz is far from a green, new artist. His career touches three different decades over which he’s released material independently, opened for Kanye West in London at the Brixton Academy and cashed checks as a ghostwriter.

#Mixtape Queen Naija Self-Titled Debut EP @queennaija

Queen Naija releases her self-titled debut EP via Capitol Records. The five-song collection includes her new track “Karma,” which pushed Queen to the top of Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, and her breakout debut single, “Medicine.” It also features three new self-penned songs, including “Bad Boy,” which was produced by NO I.D. (JAY-Z, Kanye West).

Queen began singing in church at age three and writing her own songs in third grade. She recalls, “At first I mostly wrote love songs about boys – I was really boy-crazy – but after a while I started writing from my own life. I wrote about not having money and struggling through that, and about growing up without a dad. My music came from experiences I had personally gone through.”

Her focus shifted when she and her former husband found fame online with their popular YouTube channel. But when their marriage fell apart last year, Queen returned to her lifelong passion and self-released “Medicine,” a song detailing her side of the story.

Best Buy Shut Down Music Department

As of July 1st, Best Buy officially ceased sales of physical CDs at all stores nationwide. The electronics retail giant will no longer offer compact discs due to a major decrease in sales. According to ABC, sales decreased by 18.5% in 2017, which is a perfect example of the growing power of streaming services such as Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, among others, at work.

While CDs have begun to become a thing of the past throughout the last several years, vinyl copies of songs and albums will still remain on Best Buy shelves for at least a couple more years, as they continue to quench the nostalgia of music lovers. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), vinyl sales were up 3% in 2016. The RIAA has also reported that in 2016, streaming alone generated more revenue in the United States music business than all other formats combined for the first time ever. Target is expected to be the second retail giant to begin selling fewer amounts of CDs in upcoming months.
