Reason Says Fabolous Is A Better Rapper Than André 3000, Hopes For VERZUZ Between Them
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Monica Morgan / Getty André 3000 is arguably one of the greatest MC’s/singers of all time, but is Fabolous a better rapper than the ATLien? TDE artist Reason certainly seems to think so. In a recent interview with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay, the “Flick It Up” rapper bluntly stated that Fabolous was a “better rapper” than the OutKast legend and would love to see both men go head-to-head in a future VERZUZ battle at some point. Reason said “I feel like if you lined up Fabolous and André 3000, I got my money on Fab. That’s how I feel.” Yeah, we don’t know about all that. Yes, Fabolous is a beast on the mic, but André 3 Stacks has a catalog of classics in both rapping and singing. Fab can’t say the same. Though Lathan tried to reason with Reason that Andre...

Watch SHARON OSBOURNE Explain OZZY’s First NFT Collection, ‘Cryptobatz’
Sharon Osbourne has shared a one-and-a-half-minute video in which she explains her husband Ozzy‘s first foray into the crypto industry with the launch of Cryptobatz, a collection of 9,666 non-fungible tokens.

‘La La Land’ Composer Sues WME, Says Agency Cheated Him Out of Concert Profits
The Oscar-winning composer behind the music to La La Land is suing his former talent agency, William Morris Endeavor, for “cynically and systemically” defrauding him out of profits for live concerts of the movie’s score. In a blistering complaint filed Monday (Jan. 10) in Los Angeles court, attorneys for Justin Hurwitz accused his former agency of “deceiving” the composer with secret agreements and other “shocking conduct” in order to unfairly pocket the money from a series of so-called live-to-film performances. “Given WME’s underhanded actions and its unrepentant behavior subsequently, Hurwitz has no choice but to bring this lawsuit so that he can expose WME’s blatant conflict of interests,” wrote Hurtwitz’s attorneys, Bryan Freedman and Tamar Yeghiayan of the law firm Freedman + Taitelm...
