Using Nicki Minaj‘s ‘flow’ from the buzz single ‘Lookin’ Ass‘, ‘Bagpipes of Baghdad’ rapper Eminem dissed Pop princess Iggy Azalea hours ago, shocking music lovers when he took aim at the star here.

Coming years after they shared a mentor in former ‘Interscope’ big wig Jimmy Iovine, Em’s diss has now earned a response from the ‘Fancy’ singer, “bored of old men threatening young women.”

As female rappers go, few are as renown as Lil Kim and Remy Ma.

And though it’s common-practice for folk to pit femcees against one another, the pair put on a show of unity last night at Fabolous‘ New York Birthday bash. Per the snap above, they posed together at the event alongside Kim’s manager Big Fendi.

Since being released from prison over the Summer, former Terror Squad staple Remy has maintained a warm demeanour when quizzed on Kim; she has, however, remarked that she believes the ‘Lighter’s Up’ lyricist needn’t give time or energy to beefing with Nicki Minaj – who she has also been supportive of.

The press trail landed in The View studios today, where J not only performed current single ‘Burnin’ Up’ but also sat down with Whoopi Goldberg and co for a chat – which saw her gush about new boyfriend Luke James.

The ‘I Want You’ singer, who released his self-titled album to critical acclaim in September, has been grinding hard on the promo trail for the set, which he plugged during an interview with our friends over at True Exclusives this week.

Naturally, his budding romance with the ‘Bang Bang’ belter was brought up.

Billboard200-thatgrapejuice

Times really are a’changing.

As was potently spotlighted recently, no album prior to (or other than) Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ has hit Platinum status in the US this year. Indeed, whichever way it’s diced or sliced, music sales have been wallowing in the mire for several years now and it appears the American industry has had enough.

Today, it has been announced that from next week, the iconic Billboard 200 album chart will be revising its counting formula to include streams and downloads.

The shocking details below…

DJ David Guetta commands the masses to ‘Listen’ on his latest album of the same name. And in smartly enlisting Nicki Minaj for new song ‘Hey Mama (ft. Afrojack)’, it’s doubtful he’ll have any problems getting folk to comply when the LP hits stores on November 24th.

Hotly anticipated, the song reunites the rapper and the EDM icon, who first paired up for the mega-hit ‘Turn Me On’ in 2011.

This track, which is a delicious fusion of island spice and Electro, premiered moments ago and packs the punch of an immediate winner.

Take a listen below…

Rihanna fans are growing impatient. And with good reason too.

The star’s Navy have been treated to half-baked, yet easily appeasing albums from her almost every year since she hit the scene in 2005.

However, the 26 year old’s eighth LP appears to be proving a problem.

Initially pencilled in for release last year, the set has been dented by numerous delays – which, like her fictitious reign, don’t seem to be letting up.

And while RiRi has largely remained mum about new music, she couldn’t dodge a direct question from Entertainment Tonight, who quizzed her on the project at an event to promote her new movie ‘Home’ (due March 2015).

Watch what she said below…

Here at That Grape Juice, we can’t get enough of Honda’s 16 Bars web series!

Chart force Lecrae charges onto the show this week and brings his potent brand of thought-provoking lyricism to the platform.

Easily one of the year’s breakout stars, the MC highlights why with a hard-hitting performance of ‘Dirty Water’, which you can watch above.

The dynamite number features on the rapper’s newest album ‘Anomaly’, which premiered at #1 on the Billboard 200 back in September.

In such a competitive climate, it’s often difficult to make waves. However, for this Texas-bred talent, not only is he making look easy, he’s garnering a horde of new fans in the process. TGJ included.
