Just a couple of weeks after releasing the audio for this joint, Troy Ave let's go of the official music video for "Good Time." Produced by Yankee. This is off of Troy's forthcoming mixtape, BSB Volume 5, hosted by the L.A. Leakers.
Back in March Future performed this song at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas. People immediately recognized how similar it sounded to Beyonce's hit record "Drunk in Love."
Future said at the time the song was meant for his latest album, Honest, but didn't make the cut.
"I was recording with this producer by the name of Detail, we was working on the ‘Drunk in Love.’ And we started working on this other record at the same time, and then once ‘Drunk in Love’ came out, it pushed this song to the side, but at the same time it’s one of my favorite songs that didn’t make the album.”

Fifteen years ago today Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G. was killed in a still unsolved murder in Los Angeles, California at the age of 24. This is not an article to dwell on his death, but rather to celebrate his life and the timeless music he was able to deliver with two classic albums.
The measure of great music is whether or not it can stand the test of time. "Ready to Die" and "Life After Death" are both albums that if you heard them for the first time in 2012 would blow you away. Biggie made songs for the streets that could also get radio play.
His incredible wordplay and voice set him apart from every other rapper then and now, which is why he is undeniably one of the best MC's that ever touched a mic.
Big also birthed the careers of Lil Cease and Lil Kim with Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Conspiracy" album. In addition, he is one of the main reasons why Bad Boy Records is still going strong today.
Let's pour a toast and look back at some of Biggie's most memorable moments.
Angie Matinez 1996 Interview with Notorious B.I.G.
Big Fendi, the owner of Come Up DVD fires all kinds of shots in the trailer for the next volume in the series.
Doggie Diamonds of www.ForbezDVD.com interviews Big Fendi, to get the real story behind his conflicts with Nicki Minaj, Jordan Tower, Gravy, Diddy and more.
Fendi goes in on Nicki Minaj for never compensating him for helping to launch her career. If you search youtube, you will see that before Nicki Minaj changed her image into the Young Money pop star she is today, she was featured on several Come Up DVD music videos as a hardcore rapper. According to Fendi he introduced her to Waka Flocka's mother Deb Antney, who became her manager for a while.
"Everybody know this DVD right here started Nicki Minaj's whole career," says Fendi. "I changed her name, I changed her image. Me and Nicki Minaj was arguing because I wanted her to be the sex symbol, talk about p*ssy and get n*ggas open, and she told me I was disgracing her name. But she [now] still talks about p*ssy and a$$, a$$, a$$. So is she following my blueprint? I gave her to Debbie [Antney] on some management sh*t--Waka moms and sh*t went left after that. Nicki goes to Atlanta and becomes a new Nicki after that. Debbie started questioning me as far what I ever did for her. So now, Nicki hanging out with Debbie," Fendi continues. "I call Nicki to tell her about my birthday party coming up. Nicki started telling me I need to holla at Debbie. Nicki piggybacked off Debbie to get with Puff [Diddy]. Puff aint did no more. Debbie aint did no more."
After all he did for Nicki, Fendi said he was expecting some form of financial compensation, but never got any.
"She gave me credits on her album, woopty-fucking-doo. 'Shout out to Fendi for teaching me everything.' I read that...I was like 'OK, but where the f*ck is the money at?' I'm the reason why Nicki Minaj is with Young Money," Fendi claims. "I spoke to Tez, who's the President of Young Money right before Wayne came home [From Rikers Island]. He was like, 'Yo Fen when Wayne gets home we gonna straighten you out.' N*gga I aint heard from Tez since."
Fendi sh*ts on his former artist Gravy, the rapper who played Biggie Smalls in the movie "Notorious" as being an ungrateful fraud with a fake image.
"Gravy was my son. Like a n*gga that I took care of like mt little boy," Fendi said. "N*gga's jewelry was fake, I got him real jewelry. Anything negative that come out of Gravy mouth about me, n*gga need to smack him for that. Cuz he aint built like that."
Fendi also accuses director Jordan Tower of stealing his videos and featuring them on WorldStarHipHop as his own and says Diddy's Dirty Money group name belongs to him.
Fendi says he will end a lot of people's careers when he releases Come Up DVD Volume 23 on March 3rd.
Shouts to Doggie Diamonds and M. Reck of Forbez DVD and Big Fendi.
27-year old Khloe Kardashian stepped out to the gym Thursday (December 1) without makeup or hair extensions. The reality star and wife of NBA player Lamar Odom looked almost unrecognizable.
It was a rare moment, as the Kardashian sisters are rarely ever seen out in public without their hair and makeup perfectly in place.
Khloe talked about their love for makeup with XOJane back in September.
"We joke and we say we are like trannies because we love hair and makeup," she said. "I don’t think we necessarily need it, but we love it. But Kim, definitely, if you take off what’s on her face, her face is the exact same. She doesn't need it -- it's just like a mind thing to her. She really doesn’t need any of that on her face."
After the latest pic surfaced of her without makeup, Khloe took to Twitter to address any haters that have a problem with her looks.
"Some people are so stressed trying to be perfectly flawless.... but I'm so HAPPY to be perfectly flawed," she wrote on the social networking site. "Haters are like crickets; they make a lot of noise you can hear but you never see them, then you walk right by them and they're quiet."
Lil Kim made quite a splash in Zimbabwe as she took the stage at the inaugural Zarfest in the capital city of Harare.
Kim rocked the crowd with some of her classic hits before paying homage to Notorious B.I.G. and Michael Jackson. The Queen Bee performed "One More Chance" and "Juicy" followed by Billie Jean to close out her set.
Ciara and DJ Scratch also performed at the event, while Timbaland was a no show.
A video message from Timbo was played for the disappointed crowd, explaining that he wouldn't be able to make it due to unforseen difficulties that were out of his control.
The four day music festival now moves on to South Africa for shows in Durban (June 1), Cape Town (June 2) and Johannesburg (June 3).
Check out pics of Lil Kim arriving at the airport and in concert.
The Lil Kim vs Nicki Minaj beef has been cooking for months with no end in sight. Both ladies have taken shots at each other on wax and Twitter. Who's winning the war would depend on who you ask, but there's at least one person who would like to see the feud end.
While out in the UK for the Gumball 3000 road rally, Philadelphia rapper Eve spoke with BBC Radio 1xtra host Tim Westwood about the beef and the need for more females in the game.
“You know, it's definitely a nice group of females that's out representing, but because I come from hip-hop, I need more females in hip-hop," said Eve. "Nicki definitely is holding the flag down, and a lot of people be wanting me to hate just because that's how girls supposed to do in hip-hop, but I'm loving everything she does. But we need more females, man. There's too much testosterone in the hip-hop game."
When asked directly about the situation currently going on between Kim and Nicki, Eve had this to say.
“I need her to stop. If I was Kim's friend, I'd be like, yo. ‘cause she's Kim, period. So she never has to feed [into the beef]. She shouldn't. It's bad. It's not a good look," she said. "If I was her friend, I'd tell her, yo, just come back bigger and better. The best way to get at people is to do you better than you've ever done you. So that's it.”
After a long hiatus Eve has been making her presence felt recently with guest appearances with Ludacris, Alicia Keys and frequent collaborator Swizz Beatz.
It's expected that she will be releasing her fourth solo album 'Lip Lock' sometime this year.
Today marks what would been the 39th birthday for a man who is arguably the best rapper of all time.
Christoper Wallace was known by many stage names: The Notorious B.I.G., Big Poppa, Biggie Smalls and The Black Frank White. Only 24 at the time of his untimely death, he recorded two classic albums, "Ready To Die" and "Life After Death", and outshined anyone he ever collaborated with.
Without Biggie there would be no Lil Kim or Lil Cease. Both of whom were introduced to the world via Biggie's group Junior M.A.F.I.A.
His unique delivery, voice and wordplay are still unmatched to this day.
So let's drink a toast today to Biggie and celebrate his legacy.
