D’banj and Big Sean before the Koko concert

D’banj and Big Sean felt the cool breeze of Lagos riding in his Aston Martin Convertible…looking forward to a wonderful show.

Things didn’t turn out as planned though, well, according to people with high hopes before the show.

“The first of many problems was the distance from the Eko Atlantic entrance to the venue of the show – all of 20km. While cars were getting stuck in the sandy ground and traffic was building up, eager fans decided to walk the distance hoping that their ‘endurance trek’ would be compensated with a good show…During the show, popular OAP Matse of Nigeria Info 99.3 commented on Instagram ‘At the Koko Concert. I swear getting a regular ticket is far better than VIP and VVIP. #KokoConcert #2012’,” NET reports.

The show wasn’t totally a bad one though, but it sure didn’t live up to people’s expectation

Kanye West And Pusha T Show Off Their 'New God Flow'

Nothing Kanye West does is by accident, so when Yeezy debuted a brand new a cappella verse at Sunday night's BET Awards, of course it was a sign of things to come. On Monday (July 2), 'Ye and Pusha T dropped "New God Flow," a single they have been teasing for the past week, and boy, was it worth the wait.
The track starts off with a vocal sample from Ghostface Killah's "Mighty Healthy" from his 2000 classic Supreme Clientele LP. "Shake that body, party that," the Wu-Tang Clansman is heard saying in the track's opening seconds.
Though the track for "New God Flow" is markedly different, like Ghost's "Mighty Healthy," it does sample its drums from Melvin Bliss' 1973 break record "Synthetic Substitution." Pusha, who has been on a tear lately, appearing on G.O.O.D. Music's "Mercy" and his own "Exodus 23:1," sets things off lyrically with a spirited verse. "I believe there's a God above me, I'm just the God of everything else/ I put holes in everything else, new God flow, f--- everything else," he rhymes.
In his verse, the Clipse MC references his drug-dealing past, vacations to Ibiza and exotic car collection. "Well, if you goin' coupe, I'm goin' four-door," he playfully spits, challenging Kanye.
In his second verse, Pusha baits all his competitors, though just like on "Exodus 23:1," they go unnamed. "Step on their necks till they can't breathe/ Claim they five stars, but sell your dreams," he starts off before he steps it up further, spitting "F--- 'em, 'Ye/ I wouldn't piss on that n---a with Grand Marnier."
Once Push gets all of his rap frustration off his chest, Kanye jumps in for the song's climactic third verse, the same one he performed at the 2012 BET Awards. "Hold up, I ain't tryna stunt, man/ But the Yeezys jumped over the Jumpman," he raps, referencing the popularity of his sneakers in comparison to the industry standard: the mighty Air Jordan.
Like on "Mercy," West commands a beat change for his bars. Three-quarters of the way through his closer, the dusty hip-hop track changes and takes on the characteristics of a stadium chant — think Queen's 1977 classic "We Will Rock You." "Did Moses not part the water with the cane?/ Did strippers not make an arc when I made it rain?/ Did Yeezy not get signed by Hov and Dame?/ And ran to Jacob to make the new Jesus chain," he asks in a rhetorical rhyme.
The truth is, Kanye cemented himself as a rap God way before releasing this new single, but just in case fans forgot, the "Jesus Walks" rapper turns musical water into wine with his "New God Flow."

Lil Wayne Dismisses Beef With Pusha T

When G.O.O.D. Music's fiery Pusha T sent subliminal shots towards Young Money's Drake on "Exodus 23:1" late last month, the Internet went crazy and all hell broke loose, it seemed. In his partner's defense, YMCMB leader Lil Wayne returned fire with the not-so-threatening "Goulish." We haven't seen much friction between the two camps since.

Now, Weezy is claiming that there is no beef with Pusha T, who he's had conflict with in the past. 

"It really wasn’t no beef, you know. It was just me," Weezy told AP. "I just reacted. Just a reaction, a simple reaction. I don’t apologize for it because I’m human. But it was just my human reaction. I don’t take it back. But there’s no beef. Beef is a whole different thing. … I’ll move on."

Where will things go from here?

No Malice to Pusha T: "Stop Picking on Drake"

No Malice seems to be living up to his new moniker. The older half of the Clipse wants his younger sibling, Pusha T, to stop "picking" on Drake.

During a recent interview with BET, No Malice was asked about his take on the subliminal lyrical jabs exchanged between his little brother and Drizzy. The born again Christian responded: "I want Pusha to stop picking on Drake, I like Drake. Yeah I like Drake, yo."

Last year, Pusha T released a freestyle over Drake's "Dreams Money Can Buy" instrumental, and one line in particular appeared to be a shot directly aimed at the "So Far Gone" MC. In the final verse of his rendition, the G.O.O.D. Music artist rapped, "the swag don't match the sweaters," which caused many to believe he was ridiculing Drake's eccentric sense of style.

When talk of a rumored beef between the two began to surface, Pusha T denied all accusations that the punchline was a diss directed at Drake.

In past interviews, Drake has referenced the Clipse as one of his main inspirations. When Vibe asked the Toronto native about the rumored subliminal jab, he answered: "I've been really open about my love for the Clipse. I don't know [why he dissed me], maybe that guy is bored."

In related news, No Malice is currently working on a solo mixtape entitled Hear Ye Him, and disclosed information to BET about his heavily-anticipated project.

"As far as features, you're definitely going to get The Re-Up **** of course, my brother (Pusha T), Ab-Liva definitely," he said. "I've been working with Chad from The Neptunes, and Pharrell also. Boi-1da, and myself are about to do something as well. The first single is titled Different."

No Malice also revealed that though he and Pusha are focusing on their solo career endeavors, a new, long-awaited Clipse album is already in the works.

"We're working on that now," he disclosed. "Collecting beats, writing verses, you know Pusha is everywhere right now so it's just a thing of matching up the scheduling, things of that nature. But the fans will definitely have music from Pusha and myself circulating about so we're not going to leave them empty handed."

No Malice had originally taken a hiatus from music to focus on writing his autobiography, Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked, which is in stores now. The MC is also planning on adding another title under his resume as an author, a book entitled 32, which symbolizes the amount of years his manager was sentenced to prison.
