Drake Buys Rights To New Show

Drake's relationship with the British underground scene has been a very fruitful one for not only himself but for many of the U.K. grime artists he's worked with such as Skepta, among many others. Now, he's pushing further with the news that he's recently bought the rights to the London-based drama, "Top Boy."

The Toronto rapper not only intends to own the show but to also play a starring role. Being a longtime fan of Top Boy, he expressed his love as a fan for the hit series over the years with various shout outs in raps like "Know Yourself", and even tweeted about it before, saying "@AshleyWalters82 is too incredible!! Everybody on Top Boy gives such incredible performances. That show is just too good."

He purchased the show after it was dropped by Channel 4 and was picked up by Netflix.

Ashley Walters, who plays Dushane on the show tells The Daily Mirror that the producers intend on making him a "significant" character.

"We met up to start talking about the show and we are working out a role for him," he said. "He loves acting, of course he wanted a part. He's going to be really hands on and is getting stuck into it.

The rapper has maintained his acting chops occasionally with various, but memorable Saturday Night Live appearances and his extended music videos and short films such "Hold On We're Going Home", "Jungle", "Please Forgive Me" and several cameos in films like Think Like A Man Too, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, and Ice Age: Continental Drift. He has yet to play a significant character in a television show or movie since his "Degrassi" days.

President Obama Discusses His Favorite Rappers

Throughout his time in office, while working on serious strategies to help the United States continue to move forward, President Obama has also managed to keep his finger on the pulse of pop culture. Ranging from sports knowledge to music knowledge, Obama always seems to have pretty great taste.

Before his presidency officially comes to a close, President Obama has been taking the opportunity to do a few more interviews lately. During his latest one, Obama speaks with the hosts of Sway in the Morning over the phone to discuss sports, music, and politics. After naming his NBA Championship and Superbowl predictions, Obama began to discuss his favorite rappers.

When Sway asked President Obama who his favorite rappers today are (2:05 mark), he emphasized the younger generation is in great hands. "I think the young guys, Kendrick [Lamar] and Chance [the Rapper] are doing amazing work," he said. "I love Drake, and the girls love Drake, so he's commercially just doing great."

Obama also mentioned Jay Z and Kanye West, explaining that the two obviously have great track records with music. However, he reiterated that Kendrick and Chance are not just great people making great music but that he also believes they're breaking new ground.

Rappin' 4-Tay Arrested

Bay area rapper and 2Pac collaborator Rappin' 4-Tay was arrested for burglary last month and is still being held in jail since no one has been able to post his $112,000 bail. He was arrested on the first-degree burglary for allegedly boosted items from a commercial building, according to TMZ. 4-Tay hasn’t been able to come up with the money to secure his release, and that has kept him in jail for a little less than a month. Authorities also discovered two outstanding warrants when they arrested him in September.

Rappin’ 4-Tay hit the rap scene back in the early 1990s and even appeared on 2Pac’s “Only God Can Judge Me” off his album “All Eyez On Me.” He’s also collaborated with other deceased legends like Mac Dre. He made headlines about two years back when he accused Drake of stealing parts of his verse from his 1994 hit “Playaz Club” and using them in YG’s “Who Do You Love.” 4-Tay was able to squeeze $100,000 out of Drake’s camp for the use of the lyrics.

Drake Goes Triple Platinum

The RIAA certified it triple platinum officially on August 3. Views debuted selling one million equivalent units in just one week’s time. It’s also had four songs including “One Dance,” “Controlla,” “Too Good,” and “Pop Style” all climb the Billboard Top 200 chart. This certification takes streaming into consideration when determining units sold.

Views received moderate to good reviews in publications like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. However, fellow rapper Joe Budden questioned the album’s quality and said Drake sounded “uninspired” on the project, sparking the recent beef between the two.

Kanye West Surpasses Michael Jackson

West is now one hit away from meeting Marvin Gaye's 41 mark and is within five hits of surpassing Chris Brown (42) and James Brown (44) to meet Jay Z at 45 Top 40 hits. He'd need six more hits to become one of the top five all-time Top 40 hit makers. As it stands, Elvis Presley leads the field with 80 all-time Top 40 hits and is followed by Lil Wayne (69), Elton John (57), Drake (53), and Stevie Wonder (46).

Kanye West made Billboard music history this past week, as he moved past Michael Jackson into the all-time top ten list of artists with the most Top 40 hits. Both Jackson and Frankie Valli had anchored the list with 39, before this week's numbers determined that ScHoolboy Q's West assisted "THat Part" had elevated to 40th from the 42nd position on the Top 100 chart. With the achievement, West joins partner/boss Jay Z and top-5 all-timers Drake and Lil Wayne as the fourth Hip Hop artist on the list.

Offset Talks Kim Kardashian Being President

Kim Kardashian's flirtation with political activism has Offset's support. In an interview today (Sept. 6) with TMZ, the Migos member praised the reality television star's advocacy for criminal justice reform.

"Hell yeah, I fuck with that shit. I've been through that shit," Offset said in response to a question about Kardashian's work. "To be able to have a second chance? That's one hunnid."

The rapper, currently touring on Drake's Aubrey and the Three Migos Tour, faces charges in Georgia for an improper lane change, possession of marijuana, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and possession of a weapon after being pulled over in a traffic stop that his attorney has called "racially motivated."

TMZ's inquiry seems to be inspired by Kardashian's recent meetings with Donald Trump, whom she's now lobbied to free two people in prison, including Alice Marie Johnson, whose sentence for cocaine distribution and money laundering was commuted by the president in June after the 63-year-old woman spent 23 years in federal prison.

Kardashian reportedly returned to the White House yesterday (Sept. 5) to seek a pardon for Chris Young, whose 2010 arrest for marijuana and cocaine possession led to a life sentence in maximum-security prison. Young is one of around 3,800 individuals currently serving life sentences in the United States for drug offenses, according to the Buried Alive Project.

"He’s had to have a few surgeries and he’s been in a medical facility for a few years, and he goes back into the maximum-security prison where lifers have to go. And he’s had a perfect record," Kardashian told Jason Flom’s Wrongful Conviction podcast.

Man Sentenced To 472 Years

A Colorado judge sentenced a man to 472 years in prison for running a sex trafficking ring, in what is being called the longest sentencing for any sex trafficker.

Brock Franklin, 31, was found guilty in March on 30 counts including human trafficking of an adult, soliciting of child prostitution and human trafficking of a minor. In 2015, Franklin was indicted by a grand jury for using drugs and violence to prey on young girls forcing them to perform sex acts.

During the trial the jury heard from eight of the nine victims in the case. “Every morning I wake up I have to remind myself the defendant will no longer be able to hurt me,” the fist victim read from a letter.

Another victim, who suffers from depression, anxiety and other forms of PTSD said she misses the person she used to be. “I miss myself, my confidence, my laugh. I miss my happiness,” she describing her three “long months.”

Franklin’s defense team requested the minimum sentence of 96 years telling Judge Peter F. Michaelson he wasn’t found guilty of any violent crimes. However, Janet Drake of the Attorney General’s Office requested a 616 year sentence.
