      Duff McKagan to Release Album He Recorded With Pre-Guns N' Roses Band

      by

      Instagram

      When announcing that he will make ‘The Living: 1982’ available to the public in April, the Axl Rose bandmate gives fans a taste by dropping its first single, ‘Two-Generation Stand’.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rocker Duff McKagan has gone back in time to revisit music he wrote and recorded with his pre-Guns N’ Roses band in the early 1980s.
      The bass player was just 17 when he recorded tracks with The Living, but the results of the session were never released.
      The tracks will finally be made available to the public on 16 April on new album “The Living: 1982”.
      McKagan has dropped the album’s first single, “Two-Generation Stand”, while announcing the news on Wednesday, February 24.

      The Living were together for just a few months, but in that time they opened for Canadian punk icons D.O.A.. They failed to find a label home and split just before McKagan moved to Los Angeles, met Axl Rose and formed Guns N’ Roses.
      His bandmates co-founded influential Seattle, Washington grunge band Mother Love Bone with Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard.
      Ironically, “The Living: 1982” will be released via Gossard’s label Loosegroove.
      McKagan is thrilled his long-lost music is getting a release. “The Living was the beginning of all things Seattle for me – a turning point in my life,” he says of the band. “I joined a band and a community. These guys are still my brothers. I’ve cherished these recordings since the days we made them. This record is a fantastic document of a loaded moment. I love it.”
      McKagan recalls once wondering if the recording would ever be heard, questioning, “Would this even ever get out of our basement?” He adds, “We had something magical then, and it was ours, so who gives a f**k!”

      Instagram/WENN/Apega

      It arrives after the ‘GOOBA’ rapper inserted footage of their verbal fight in his music video, which has gained more than 30 million views, for his new song that he released on Friday, February 19.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The beef between Tekashi69 (6ix9ine) and Meek Mill doesn’t show any sign of stopping. If anything, it further escalates after the former inserted footage of their verbal fight in his music video for his new song “ZAZA” which he released on Friday, February 19.
      The trolling apparently prompts Meek and his team of lawyers to send a cease and desist letter to Tekashi as they tried to get the video removed from the internet. “Meek Mill wrote a letter to my lawyers. He said we are bullying him,” he shared in a picture that he posted on Instagram before attaching the very letter in the next slide.
      “HOW YOU START SOMETHING YOU CANT FINISH?????” he captioned the post. “HE WANT TO BE TAKEN OUT THE VIDEO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING AT HIM.”

        See also…

      The letter saw Meek’s lawyers accusing Tekashi of unlawfully exploiting Meek’s likeness for commercial benefit without his authorization or consent. They also asked for the video, which has gained more than 31 million total views as of now, to be removed from all public platforms.
      Tekashi confronted Meek outside of a club in Miami on Saturday, February 13. In some videos that circulated online from the night, both were involved in a screaming match while bodyguards tried to stop things from getting physical.
      According to Meek, Tekashi planned to ambush him as he waited for him outside the club. “The headline should be: he waited outside a restaurant and popped up with the cops recording with his phone out! He tried to line me up to go to jail!” Meek tweeted after the showdown.
      “We did not run into eachother I was getting in my car he just popped out ….we almost was smoking on that 69 pack for the love of a viral moment ….. he tryna get something locked up no cap lol Why did he pick meeeee wtf lol. Then he said a Pooh shiesty bar to me wtf. I’m a real witness to that lol,” he went on writing.

      Lil Uzi Vert Gets a Taste of Rock Through Blink-182 Collaboration

      by

      WENN/FayesVision/Apega

      Teasing about a song off his band’s upcoming album, drummer Travis Barker claims that the joint project with the ‘You Was Right’ rapper is ‘more of a punk kind of like reggae-feeling song.’

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rapper Lil Uzi Vert is stepping into the world of rock by recording a new track with Blink-182.
      The band’s drummer, Travis Barker, has revealed the group has recruited Pharrell Williams to produce a song on their upcoming album, and it features a guest verse from Uzi.
      “There’s a song with Uzi that’s really, really cool that we did with Pharrell,” he told Spotify’s “Rock This with Allison Hagendorf” podcast.
      “I mean, it’s not like Blink’s making a rap song or anything. It’s like bringing Uzi over to our world. So it’s more of a punk kind of like reggae-feeling song.”

      “I don’t think Blink will ever be anything but a pop-punk band,” Barker added. “That’s who we are, and I feel like our fans have journeyed with us when we’ve done songs like ‘Miss You’ or ballads like ‘Adam’s Song’.”

      Uzi isn’t the first rapper Blink-182 have worked with – they previously collaborated and toured with Lil Wayne, while Barker has worked with hip-hop star Trippie Redd, executive producing his new project “NEON SHARK vs. Pegasus”.
      The new Blink-182 album, the follow-up to 2019’s “Nine”, will also include a tune with singer Grimes, which Barker describes as “really, really cool”.
      The rockers are currently working to complete the project, ahead of a release later this year (2021).

      The ‘Amen’ rapper claims he has personally reached out to Vanessa Bryant to offer his apology for seemingly disrespecting her late husband in his newly-leaked song.

      Feb 24, 2021

      “Nothing I say on my page directed to a internet viral moment or the family of a grieving woman!” he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday (23Feb21). “If you care about someone grieving change the subject!”
      Vanessa Bryant was upset when a snippet of Meek’s unreleased song with Lil Baby, “Kobe”, leaked last week (ends19Feb21).
      In it, Meek raps, “I’ll go out with my choppa / It’ll be another Kobe.”

I am not familiar with any of your music, but I believe you can do better than this. If you are a fan, fine, there’s a better way to show your admiration for my husband. This lacks respect and tact.”
      Before his apologetic statement, Meek Mill drew more outrage following a series of cryptic foul-mouthed messages on his Twitter. “I’m going back savage in this s**t … f#%k ya feelings!” he wrote without mentioning the controversy surrounding his song. “Ion trust people gotta play it raw …… Head taps for n#%ga tryna pull my card!”
      Although he didn’t mention Kobe’s name, he seemingly referred to the backlash as he continued, “Somebody promo a narrative and y’all follow it…. y’all internet antics cannot stop me ….s**t like zombie land or something! Lol.”
      “They paying to influence y’all now … its almost like mind control ‘wake up,’ ” he added.
      Meanwhile, he insisted he’s a fan of Kobe and Gianna by posting on Instagram a picture of a hat with Kobe’s and Gianna’s names on it.

      Instagram

      The 88-year-old music mogul has been forced to postpone his upcoming star-studded pre-Grammy Awards celebration as he is receiving treatment for Bell’s Palsy.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Music mogul Clive Davis has been forced to postpone his upcoming pre-Grammy Awards celebration after he was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy.
      A representative for the famed producer, 88, has assured fans he is in good spirits and is receiving antibiotic and steroid treatment for the condition, which can cause temporary facial paralysis due to sudden muscle weakness.
      Davis is expected to make a full recovery in six to eight weeks, and as a result, his planned Grammys eve virtual bash on 13 March (21) has now been taken off the schedule, with officials hoping to stage it in May instead, according to Variety.

      The special show had been due to feature the likes of Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, and Paul Simon, as well as Cher, Quincy Jones, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and Cyndi Lauper, among many others.
      Davis had previously hosted his first virtual event on 30 January, the eve of the original ceremony date, before Recording Academy bosses decided to postpone the prizegiving until 14 March as a result of rising coronavirus cases.
      That gig, the first of his two Recording Academy fundraisers, boasted appearances from stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Barry Gibb, Alicia Keys, John Legend, and Rod Stewart.
      Before the Bell’s Palsy diagnosis, Clive Davis was rumored to compile “a never-before-seen tribute to the greatest live performances of all time – not just from his party.” His upcoming second pre-Grammy event was also expected to feature “some extraordinarily insightful interviews with some of the biggest names in music.”

      Beyonce's Mother Defends Jay-Z as He's Called 'Sellout' for Producing Super Bowl Halftime Show

      by

      WENN/Instagram

      Tina Knowles-Lawson has come to her son-in-law’s defense as he faces criticisms for being in charge of the Super Bowl LV halftime show headlined by The Weeknd.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson has praised her son-in-law Jay-Z, calling the rapper a “true man” in a gushing open letter.
      Tina shared the letter to Instagram after it was announced that the “Empire State of Mind” star had sold 50 per cent of his champagne brand, Armand de Brignac, to luxury goods company LVMH’s Moet Hennessy.
      “Jay I salute you and your Latest venture … You are a bad ass brother and I hope that you continue to pave the way for others like you have in the past!!” Tina wrote. “And I have seen such extreme kindness and generosity so many times that people don’t even know anything about! You are a true man who has admitted publicly when you’ve made mistakes in a very brave and classy way! You have in turn influenced the Culture of Young Black Men. You are a Bad Ass brother. I love you so much!!”
      Tina also referenced the way that Jay, who shares three children with wife Beyonce, and his record label Roc Nation had helped curate the Super Bowl LV entertainment.

      “Everyone was psyched about it! Each person that performed Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R. and The Weekend all slaying their performances and making Black Excellence shine and us all proud,” she continued. “I could not help but remember when J took on being in charge of the Entertainment at the Super Bowl, and saying that things would never change unless we had someone on the inside that could make decisions. Someone at the top.”
      Despite the fact that he was called “a sellout” for the Super Bowl commitment, Jay “kept it moving” – with Tina commenting, “One thing that I’ve noticed about Jay is that he doesn’t let what people say bully him into not doing the things that he knows are right.”

      Beyonce’s Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams was among those commenting on Tina’s post, using red heart emojis to express her love of the letter.
