Tech N9ne Blasts SXSW

Tech N9ne had harsh words for the popular SXSW music festival. The Austin, TX-based SXSW has grown from indie showcase to one of the biggest music fests in the country, but Tech is angry at the way he's been treated during shows. "Sorry man. I probably don't say the things that are politically correct, but f*ck South by Southwest," Tech told SOHH. "I feel that way. I don't give a f*ck! You know why? Because my fans speak and it's about money. I'm just saying, they could say they won't ever have me perform again, I wouldn't give a f*ck. N*gga, we'd create our 'own' festival and fill the f*ckin' stands. Tech N9ne can say what the f*ck he wanna say, blackball me. We are our own machine. I'mma shutup, man. And I hope they get some feedback from this." "Everybody talkin' about South by Southwest and all the parties and shows and girls ... n*gga I tried to go see Bun B and I couldn't even get in!," Tech added. "Luckily, I got into a Devin the Dude show because that's the homie. These badges don't mean sh*t, n*gga. Show me the party. I go onstage no later than 10 o'clock on my tours, n*gga at 1 a.m. my body is shuttin' down ... f*ck that! N*gga I don't give a f*ck about going last, put me first. Let Mac Miller go last or somebody like that. I'm just sayin', put the n*ggas that's blowin' up on stage first. Put Wiz Khalifa last.

Bun B Praises Slaughterhouse

Hip hop legend Bun B has revealed his admiration for Shady Records supergroup Slaughterhouse. The former UGK also admitted that he wouldn't mind being a part of a supergroup as strong as the lyrical quartet.

B is one of the most respected elder statesmen in the game, so his praise carries some weight.

"[They're] some of the greatest lyricists we got in the game right now," Bun said in an interview. "Really having all four of those cats together -- with them and [Shady's Yelawolf] -- they got a mean lineup over there at Shady Records. I respect those dudes, I respect their grind, I respect their hustle, and I respect their talent. If I could get down with a league of gentlemen like that, then I wouldn't be mad at all."

2Pac Honored In Atlanta

On what would've been the 40th anniversary of the late rapper Tupac Shakur, several celebrities and artists gathered at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center in Stone Mountain, GA to pay tribute to the fallen rapper/actor, who was shot and later died in September 1996.

Meek Mill, Bun B, Warren G, Too Short, jazz singer/producer Roy Ayers, Rick Ross and Erykah Badu were among those in attendance. The event was hosted by Mike Epps.

"For a lot of lil' dudes in a single parent home [like me] with my mother, Tupac played father for a lot of dudes like me," Rick Ross said to the crowd. "Tupac was the first one that showed me how to be fully committed. I took [aspects of him like] his [loyalty], to his hard work, his ethic, his family with me. When we talk about his record sales, let's not forget the role he played to all the little Black boys around the world."

"My first reaction to Tupac was he's not a rapper, he's not an actor, he's a savior of sorts. But he came at a time when people weren't looking for a savior, they were looking for someone who looked like them," she said. "But saviors, sometimes are just doing the work, they are just doing their job."

Cool Kids Release Date Set

The Cool Kids have finally announced the release date for their long-delayed debut album,When Fish Ride Bicycles. The album will be released on June 12th via Green Label Sound.

The Chicago duo's battles with former label Chocolate Industries led to the extensive delays, while the Kids attempted to keep their buzz alive with mixtapes. The Cool Kids were one of the most talked-about indie acts in 2007 and 2008, only to watch a lot of their momentum die with the album continually being pushed back.

Bun B., Ghostface Killah, Mayer Hawthorne, Travis Barker and Asher Roth are all featured on the project.

"I am greatly honored to have been invited by Afeni Shakur to celebrate her son's 40th birthday," Bady said via statement. "I do not take this honor for granted."

“I’m looking forward to another year of preserving Tupac’s legacy by celebrating his life with his fans and furthering his causes by supporting his organization,” Mike Epps said.
