Chance The Rapper Critiques Miley Cyrus' Hosting Duties At MTV VMAs
Chance The Rapper wasn't a fan of Miley Cyrus' hosting job at the 2015 MTV VMAs last night.
Miley Cyrus was the host of last night's MTV VMAs. In brief summation, she rocked outrageous and unabashedly ugly outfits, wore fake dreads, promoted her ~super cool~ love of marijuana, dissed Nicki Minaj's issues with the VMAs and participated in several corny skits. A lot of people weren't feeling it, and Chance The Rapper was one of them.
We were live tweeting during the VMAs last night, and Chance did the same, however he was definitely a tad more critical, and rightly so. In several tweets, Chance pointed out some of the faults with Miley's hosting, whether it was her commentary or her outfit.
What were your thoughts on the event, or Miley Cyrus' hosting in general? Sound off in the comments.
"Straight Outta Compton" Becomes Highest Grossing Music Biopic Ever
Straight Outta Compton continues to make history.
"Straight Outta Compton" had a historic opening weekend, kept the momentum up through week two, and now it has topped the box office for the third consecutive week, pulling in an estimated $13.2 million. It has now earned $134.1 million to date domestically and is the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, overtaking Johnny Cash picture "Walk the Line," which earned $119.5 million.
"War Room" opened at $11 million and Tom Cruise’s "Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation" garnered $8.3 million in its fifth weekend. Meanwhile, EDM DJ flick "We Are Your Friends" had a historically bad opening weekend, grossing just $1.8 million spread over 2,333 screens.
With a budget of $28 million, "Straight Outta Compton" has already netted over $100 million in pure profit.
KANYE IS WILLING TO HELP OUT THE MAN WHO IS LOOKING TO TRADE HIS YEEZYS FOR A KIDNEY
Update:
Last week we discovered the story of a man who was looking to trade his Yeezy 350 Boosts for a functioning kidney, and the news has reached Kanye himself who would be willing to replace the pair of kicks if the trade actually happens.
According to TMZ, "Kanye and Kim heard his story and were moved... they say if he ends up making the trade they'll give him a brand new pair of the impossible to get pricey kicks."
Original Story:
Trading sneakers for other goods is not uncommon. Trading sneakers for organs, on the other hand, is something we haven't ever seen before and the Yeezy 350 Boost could save one man's life.
Ki
26-year old Matt Neal of Ann Arbor, Michigan took to Facebook's WDYWT group looking to trade his size 10 Yeezys for a functioning kidney.
According to Neal, he has two failing kidneys and has been on dialysis for two years now, but he's hopeful some sneakerhead will be willing to go under the knife for the primeknit low-tops.
So how bad do you want those Yeezys?
Matt, whose blood type is B+ in case you're considering, has already received a ton of comments on his facebook post which you can check out here.

Jay Z Caved And Got An Instagram Account
Give the homie @hovsince96 a follow.
Jay Z finally caved and got an Instagram account, opting for the handle @hovsince96. He dedicated his inaugural post with a tribute to Michael Jackson, who would have turned 57 years old today. The picture depicts a younger Jay Z rocking a Latrell Sprewell jersey and posing with the late singer. “Happy Birthday to the King! This may be my first and last post," he wrote.
Jay Z isn't much of a Twitter guy either, except for that time when he rattled off an extensive Twitter defense of Tidal.
As of press time, it's been three hours since Jay Z's post and he's already racked up 70,000 Instagram followers.

J Cole had some surprises in store for the hometown crowd.
J. Cole has single-handedly put Fayetteville, NC on the map, and his homecoming concert tonight at Crown Coliseum was always going to be a feel-good event. But Jermaine was not alone. He brought reinforcements.
Jay-Z and Big Sean joined J Cole on stage to perform "IDFWU," "Clique" and more before Drake showed up to perform "Energy," "Know Yourself," and other tracks from IYRTITL.
