Lupe Fiasco & Nikki Jean x The Roots “Little Death” Live On The Tonight Show

Posted on:

Tonight’s airing of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon featured a performance from OKP favorites Lupe Fiasco and Nikki Jean. Lupe was on hand to perform his stand-out track, “Little Death,” off his recently released LP, Tetsuo & Youth. The song, which features Nikki Jean on the hook, already has a live sound to it, but, as often is the case, the addition of The Roots to the track really upgraded the song for me (that horn section was killing’ it, too). Very dope performance, check it out, below. Make sur to pick up Lupe’s Tetsuo & Youth via iTunes.

14 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Were Asian

Posted on:

If Twitter was around when Tiger Woods tried to tell everyone he was “Cablanasian,” he would’ve been summarily slandered 140 characters at a time. The passage of time has hopefully made us all a bit more aware of our biracial bretheren. photo: WENN When Karreuche makes jokes about the coarseness of Blue Ivy Carter’s hair, or Charlemagne refers to her as “Karate Chop,” we get a reminder that things can be better. These 14 celebrities you didn’t know were Asian have done their part to spread some multicultural knowledge by just being themselves. — Photo: WENN The post 14 Celebrities You Didn’t

Beyonce Goes Braless, Makes Front Page Of NY Daily News [Photos]

Posted on:

The New York Daily News is clearly infatuated with Beyoncé. Along with possible ISIS members being arrested in Brooklyn, the NYC newspaper put Jay Z’s wife on its front page because she went braless. Says the New York Daily News: Beyoncé doesn’t need a bra. The 33-year-old songstress let it all hang out while lunching with her other half Jay Z in Los Angeles Tuesday. Queen Bey was spotted rocking a completely unbuttoned denim shirt that was only tied for closure under her breasts. While she appeared to keep the most intimate part of her lady bits covered up, one false move could have led to a major wardrobe malfunction for the “XO” singer. Check out more photos of Hova and Bey&#…

Heems ft. Dev Hynes – “Home”

Posted on:

Eat Pray Thug is less than a month away. It’s the debut (studio) album from Heems, and he’s followed up the swirling fury of “Sometimes” with a heartsick reminiscence. “Home” is remembrance of a love lost—a musical concept recently perfected by one Devonté Hynes. Dev provides some fluttering guitar work, while Heems opens his chest […] The post Heems ft. Dev Hynes – “Home” appeared first on Pigeons & Planes.
