Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes.”

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real about the hottest topics in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor about…

Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’ Album

(more…)

After the technological company Samsung purchased an undisclosed amount of Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ album, the set was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Unfortunately, fans of the Grammy winning performer have been unable to truly celebrate this news, as they battle critics who now accuse the star of “cheating the chart system” in a bid to compete with some of Pop’s more commercially potent stars.

The one fact said fans could celebrate in peace was news the set had sold 400,000 units on Jay Z’s Tidal streaming service….until now.

For, ‘Forbes’ magazine has revealed that it has good reason to believe that that figure was fabricated by the company.

Apple‘s ‘Beats 1′ radio platform welcomed the Asian British performer Zayn Malik to discuss his solo endeavours yesterday.

There, quizzed by host Zane Lowe, the entertainer announced the name of his debut solo album,that he had collaborated with Tinashe‘s rival Kehlani on it…and that it features production from Frank Ocean producer Malay.

Not enough to pique your interest?

Fair enough. However, those who do give the conversation a spin can expect to hear him bare all on how and why he left the Pop band he rose to fame in, One Direction.

As TGJ readers can tell, it’s apparently Rihanna day.

The diva, who set the net alight this morning with ‘Work’ – the Drake-assisted (official) new single from her long-awaited 8th album ‘Anti’ – has been on a consistent roll since the tune’s unveiling.  For, shortly after the song zoomed to the top spot of digital charts, Ri followed up with a full stream of its parent project via Tidal.

Now, with fans’ appetites in overdrive for what the era has to offer, she’s finally unlocked the 8th and final door of her Samsung sponsored ‘Anti’-diary.  See it below:

Is it fourth time lucky for Rihanna? It’s beginning to seem so.

After mounting a monstrosity of an album campaign for new LP ‘ANTI’ last year, the star finally looks to be shining bright with comeback effort ‘Work.’

Unleashed earlier today, the Drake-assisted track is being billed as the project’s “first single,” yet in reality is the fourth cut lifted from the troubled set.

Fans of the 27-year-old appear to be both forgiving and forgetful, because the the Boi-1da production has hit an impressive initial milestone.

After much speculation, last Fall saw Bravo officially announce the newest instalment of its Housewives franchise – ’The Real Housewives of Potomac.’

Based in the bespoke Maryland town, the series is particularly noteworthy because it’s the first series to feature a cast compromised of women of color since the debut of the Atlanta branch eight years ago.  

The gargantuan success NeNe Leakes and co have enjoyed with their show (which is the highest rated in the Housewives portfolio) meant comparisons would be plentiful and that the proverbial bar would be set sky-high. 

Now, with the premiere episode having aired last night, debate has turned to whether reality TV’s newest divas delivered. 

Of course, the length and breath of the season will bring with it the definitive answer. However, per the first taste, the signs are potently promising. And here’s why…
