Elon Musk is calling on Kanye West to help build his own town in Texas. According to The Wall Street Journal, the billionaire entrepreneur plans to build a “Texas utopia” on 3,500 acres of newly-purchased pasture and farmland in Bastrop County, about 35 miles from Austin, where his employees could live and work. The Twitter CEO is said to have consulted with West and his architectural designer several times last year on broad ideas and some visual mock-ups, but no plans were finalized. Musk’s former girlfriend Grimes was also involved in the discussions, according to the report. The planned town, dubbed Snailbrook, is adjacent to Musk’s Boring Co. and SpaceX facilities and already includes a group of modular homes, a pool, an outdoor sports area, and a gym. Plans are being kept under wraps and land owners have been required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Musk has yet to file an application to incorporate the town, which would allow his Austin-area employees to be able to live in new homes with below-market rents. Kanye has his own ambitious plans to build his own mini-city. Last year, his team has filed a series of trademark applications for a mini-community called the “Yecosystem” consisting of homes and retail stores that sell Yecosystem-branded food and beverages. “He’s trying to do shit that people couldn’t even conceive of and he’s trying to make it happen,” a source told Rolling Stone. “He comes from a good place. It’s definitely his goal that everything that people touch that’s his is a good thing and has a good impact on the world.” Back in 2019, Ye attempted to build his own housing project on the 300 acres of land he owns in Calabasas. The dome-like prototype structures were eventually torn down after neighbors complained and determined the project violated the building code. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghlagatindotcom/support

Joyner Lucas is turning back the hands of time with his new single and video for “Devil’s Work Part 2.” On the sequel to his 2019 track, the Boston MC imagines a world where he can reverse the deaths of Kobe Bryant and Takeoff, prevent the Tory Lanez-Megan Thee Stallion shooting, and keep 6ix9ine behind bars. He raps about changing the course of history and stopping Will Smith from slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. “Erase that Will Smith slap and turn him back around / Or wait till they get backstage so they can have it out,” he raps. “Or maybe make it so that Chris chose a different joke / A different topic, something Jada won’t be mad about.” He reflects on the tragic deaths of Pop Smoke, PnB Rock, and Kobe Bryant. “Make him take the car instead and forget the chopper,” he raps while watching footage of Kobe’s helicopter crash from January 2020. The loss of Takeoff hit him especially hard. “But when you took Takeoff, you took my favorite Migos,” he raps. “Took that man right in his prime, that’s plain evil.” On the follow-up to 2019’s “Devil’s Work,” Joyner wishes to reverse the hands of time the night Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion. “We all know the truth or if we misinformed, but either way, take it back and make Tory hop inside a different car.” One person he would like to see put away is 6ix9ine. “Go back to the day that he took the stand and confessed, right? / Tape his mouth shut so he never talk to the feds like,” he says of Tekashi, who snitched on his fellow gang members. “Make him do his time so his ni**as gotta do less, right? / Make him learn from Bobby [Shmurda] so he can know what respect like.” Later, he asks God to bring back Kanye West’s late mother. “Bring Ye mama back ’cause he a mess, God / And he ain’t been the same ever since Donda West died / Yeah, that’s the day Kanye West died / First his heart, then his mind, then the rest died.” “Devil’s Work Part 2” serves as the first release from Joyner’s upcoming album, Not Now, I’m Busy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghlagatindotcom/support

Logic is taking the high road. Earlier this week, Joe Budden reignited his feud with the Maryland rapper when he begged him to retire and “never step near a recording device again.” Now it appears that Logic is responding to his biggest critic. On Thursday morning, he shared a TikTok video featuring a clip from a 2015 interview where he explains that he’s a homebody and keeps to himself. “I don’t f**k with nobody at all,” he says. “It’s just me and my homies and my fiancée and my little puppy I just got and I don’t f**k with nobody. I don’t go anywhere, I don’t go to parties. I barely go outside.” Nearly eight years later, Logic seems to be keeping the same energy. He added a green screen version of himself pointing to the old interview with the caption: “And still don’t.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghlagatindotcom/support

They’re coming for the queen. Nicki Minaj claims that there’s a movement to see her demise and that female rappers are being paid by labels and management companies to diss her, all for clout. While speaking with Rah Ali during a Stationhead listening event for her single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” Nicki voiced her thoughts on the state of hip-hop and the “microwaveability” of today’s artists. “As you rap and you write, you get better. And you get better every day,” said Nicki. “But I think the thing is now, because of the…microwaveability of TikTok artists getting deals and Instagram people getting likes or Twitter people…girls’ labels and management companies paying for viral tweets and paying for Nicki diss tweets and all that.” Nicki, who is launching her own label, believes that the art of lyricism is lost and that it’s unfair to compare her to others who don’t write their own rhymes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghlagatindotcom/support

Rihanna forever. Just one month after slaying the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the pop superstar returned to the stage at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday where she performed her Oscar-nominated song “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for the first time. Following an introduction from Wakanda Forever star Danai Gurira, who called her “royalty in her own right,” the pregnant singer stunned in a custom Maison Margiela Artisanal look while standing on a platform that rose throughout the performance. Backed by a full orchestra, she belted out the rousing ballad, which serves as a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. She received a standing ovation from the star-studded audience at the Dolby Theatre including A$AP Rocky, who cheered on his baby mama with a glass of champagne in hand. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghlagatindotcom/support
