Bad Boy Reunites at the 2015 BET Awards! [Video + Photos]

Diddy wasn't lying when he said "10 years from now, we'll still be on top!"

The BET Networks celebrated 15 years of the BET Awards (since being televised in June 2001), at last nights ceremony held at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles. And during that celebration, was another celebration - Diddy was celebrating 20 years of Bad Boy records.

Without a doubt, the Bad Boy reunion at the 2015 BET Awards was the highlight of the show for me. We all knew that it was going to happen, but I don't think people were actually ready for it.

Last night (June 28), Bad Boy's Diddy hit the stage to celebrate 20 years of the iconic label but he wasn't alone, he bought out Mase, 112, French Montana, Faith Evans, The Lox and Lil Kim to help celebrate and perform a medley of classics that we all grew up listening to. Before Pharrell joined him on the stage to perform their new single ‘Finna Get Loose’ debuting on Apple Music tomorrow (June 30).

The music mogul kicked off the reunion with an entrance that reminded us of a scene from the 1997 hit single ‘Mo Money, Mo Problems’ and performed his record ‘Can't Nobody Hold Me Down’, before Mase joined him on stage to perform ‘Feel So Good’. 

 

The audience are seen partying to the classics, as 112 perform their classic ‘Peaches and Cream’, then after as Diddy performs ‘I Need a Girl (Part II)’. Faith Evans wows the crowd with her vocals during her ‘Love Like This’ performance, (and Rihanna was of course feeling the performance). 

Switching up the beat, French Montana performed his remix of Bobby Shmurda's ‘Hot Nigga’, before The Lox's Jadakiss and Sheek Louch join Diddy on stage to perform the ‘All About The Benjamin's’ remix. (Floyd Mayweather was really enjoying himself, as we can see). 

To our surprise, Diddy took a nasty drop in a hole, but bounced back up. For us to later realise that the hole was used for Lil Kim's entrance. Lol. But please, back to the show.

Rising like a phoenix from the ashes, the original Queen Bee, Lil Kim then made her epic entrance that had social media buzzing (literally), and just shut it down with her verse from ‘All About The Benjamin's’ (cue Kelly Rowland getting her life rapping along! As well as Joseline & Stevie J having a fan moment. I was waiting for them to show Nicki Minaj's face! Lol!)

Mase made his return to the stage and performed ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’ with Diddy. Notorious BIG's verse from ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’ was played in the background on a video montage.

To end the reunion, Pharrell Williams hit the stage and performed his new record with Diddy, ‘Finna Get Loose’. But we cannot overlook Chris Brown and Diddy's son Christian doing a dance routine on stage during the performance, and then Chris Brown dancing in the aisles of the theatre - he really must've been feeling the song, he even had a mini dance battle in the aisle. LOL. You've got to love Chris Brown!

Get your life and watch the full performance below.



Congrats to the Bad Boy family on celebrating 20 years! Check out the pics of their reunion when you click "read more". We're waiting for that world tour now...

New Video: Pharrell Williams - Marilyn Monroe

Following up to his smash hit single ‘Happy’, Pharrell Williams releases the video to a fan favourite song ‘Marilyn Monroe’ off his new album - ‘G I R L’.

Pharrell and his infamous Vivienne Westwood hat go about town and meets different women of all shapes, sizes and colours in this new video. The video to ‘Marilyn Monroe’ is a fun and engaging video, one that I'm sure fans will love as much as they love the song. Watch below

New Video: Future - Move That Dope ft. Pharrell & Pusha T

‘Honest’ artist Future drops the video to his third single release ‘Move That Dope’ featuring Pharrell and Pusha T. The Mike WiLL Made-It production will appear on Future's forthcoming sophomore album ‘Honest’ out April 22.

Future, Pharrell and Pusha T are all present in the Benny Boom directed visual shot in the streets, where we see Pharrell representing for his ‘I am Other’ brand, which is spray painted on a wall in the video. Rappers Wiz Khalifa and ScHoolBoy Q both make a cameo appearance in the music video.

Pharrell Williams Announces New Album - ‘G I R L’ + Album Cover, Tracklisting and Release Date

Man of the moment - Pharrell Williams is not letting that big ol' Vivienne Westwood hat block his shine, and stop his creative juices from flowing. Pharrell has announced his first album in eight years ‘G I R L’, making it his second solo album.

‘G I R L’ which will hit shelves on March 3 sees features from Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Daft Punk and Alicia Keys - all of who he has worked with, and is a gift from himself to women across the world - so he says.

In a statement, Pharrell talks about his reasoning for titling the album ‘G I R L’ and says: "Imagine if all the talk show hosts in the world were women, all of the presidents were women, this is my gift to them... This album is dedicated to women across the world."

Interesting to say the least, and we can't be mad at that. Pharrell's forthcoming album came as a surprise to many, as we didn't see it coming. The album will feature his Oscar nominated and recently turned platinum single ‘Happy’ as well as some exclusives and never before heard tracks.

The pair met when Paloma attended the Met Ball at New York's Metropolitan Museum and Pharrell approached her by singing her song ‘New York’ to her. He then took her 'phone, put his number in and said "I'm ready to work". She texted him whilst still at the ball to check if he was serious, he texted back to confirm that he was, and the pair recorded the track in Miami.

With the new video to ‘Can't Rely On You’, comes the announcement of Paloma's third studio album ‘A Perfect Contradiction’ - out later out this year. ‘Can't Rely On You’ is the first single off Paloma Faith's forthcoming album which like the single, shows a distinct return to her early soul-girl roots.

New Video: Azealia Banks - ATM Jam ft. Pharrell

‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ has to be the most postponed album ever. Azealia Banks why is it taking you so long to release this LP please?

Nevertheless - the Harlem rapper drops the visuals for her Pharrell assisted single ‘ATM Jam’ and damn does she slay. Minus the fact that Pharrell does not appear in this music video, Banks lives a luxurious hippie lifestyle in the video directed by Rony-Alwin. 

Loving the creativity in this new video with blue, purple and red radiating across the screen and the flower child theme. Whilst we wait for the arrival of ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’, watch the new video to ‘ATM Jam’ from the loud mouth herself - Azealia Banks.

Filled with sequins and a whole lot more sparkly things, Daft Punk are sure set to have people love this song and video just as much as they love ‘Get Lucky’.

P.S. If you love electronic dance music and you haven't got ‘Random Access Memories’, I suggest you go out and get it.

New Music: Daft Punk - Get Lucky ft. Pharrell Williams

We're up all night to get lucky!

I saw this new song by Daft Punk floating around on my YouTube homepage featuring Pharrell Williams and instantly I fell in love with it. This is the first official single off the French duos - Daft Punk's new album Random Access Memories which is due May 21.

Pharell keeps it tastefully soulful and I can see a lot of grown folks loving this song, and a few new school kids with old souls vybzing  and dancing to this new song.

Get into the groove of this old school sound of music in this new day and age!

This song really reminds me of something Cool and The Gang would record!

Flicks: Studio Sessions

This month of October is popping! So far, so good!! A lot of artists including Rihanna, Frank Ocean, Alicia Keys and even Gwen Stefani have hit up their local studios to either put the finish touchings to their upcoming albums or singles that they're about to put out. Or even starting a new album!

Frank Ocean has been one of the main people that have hit up the studio a lot this month. 

Check out some studio session pics from different artists/producers below.

MAGIC: Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams & Jay-Z all took time out of their busy schedules to hit up the studio and even take a picture. With these three in the studio, magic is bound to happen. Can't wait!

BEST OF FRIENDS: Despite all the mess and drama happening on the set of American Idol auditions, Mariah Carey stopped by the studio to work with long-time friend and producer The Dream. 

UNAPOLOGETIC: Rihanna hits up the studio in LA adding the finishing touches to her album "Unapologetic" - out 19th November. It was even rumoured that Rihanna even sent raunchy pics to Chris Brown during one of the sessions. (*sigh). But above it all, Rihanna's swag is crazy!!!

No Doubt just released their brand new album "Push & Shove" and Gwen Stefani is already back in the studio. The singer was spotted in LA heading to a studio in Burbank. 

"Wonder what would happen if u put Luda & M.I.A. In the studio. Hhhmmmmm." is what M.I.A. captioned when she put up this pic of herself and rapper Ludacris in the studio via her instagram.

Well, M.I.A. we'll find out when you and Ludacris put something out for us to hear!!

 

BEST IN THE BUSINESS: As I said above, Frank Ocean is one of the many people that have hit up the studio a lot this month. And most recently, he met up with producer NO I.D. and rapper J.Cole for a studio session. Frank Ocean just seems to be the go-to-go for hot songs this season, and I must say - his songs and songwriting skills are surely incredible. So I see why not!
