Kendrick Kills Another TV Performance (Fallon Interview + Performance)

If it isn't already safe to say that Kendrick Lamar is the King of Rap, or even the King of the New School, it's most definitely safe to say that when Kendrick is featured on some late night television, you better believe he's going to put on an unforgettable performance.

Kendrick was on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon last night discussing his latest (almost) record for Grammy nominations (11, whereas Michael Jackson had 12), and Jimmy Fallon saw this as a big deal whereas Kendrick was the usual humble person he is. "I did a little research, Michael Jackson holds the record with 12 nominations. You almost had the same amount of nominations as Michael Jackson for Thriller." Jimmy then asked, "what if you had 13?" Kendrick replied "I wouldn't want to go past that, though. I can't fathom being as great as Michael without putting out the work. 11 is perfect." As humble as always.

But, this is not the highlight of the show. Kendrick then puts on a show, and definitely one to see, as usual (I mean at this point it's almost a given, when Kendrick is on late night television, you can almost expect a game changing performance). You can peep both the performance and the interview with Jimmy below.

Is Will Smith Returning To Rap? (Interview)

Rumors have recently circulated that the freshest prince of them all could possibly be returning to music very soon!  This is exciting news!  So exciting in fact that I may have to, how does one say, get jiggy wit' it?  But seriously, the rapper of "Getting Jiggy With It", "Miami", "Wild Wild West", "Parents Just Don't Understand", and countless others is trying to make a comeback!  Hopefully you all feel as good about this as I do, but if not, oh well because here are some details on the actor (but really, rapper) from Philly's return.

Will's performance on "The Late Show" with David Letterman was followed by some friendly back and forth between Will and David, but the thing that stood out the most was David asking if Will was interested in doing any new music, and Will answered back with "whenever there's a microphone (around) it really gets me excited." This would lead you to believe that Will is feeling inspired and wanting to rap again, but if that doesn't do it for you then this next interview bit certainly will.

Will Smith in the studio with KANYE WEST?!  Will should have known that this itty bitty little bit of information was going to blow up the internet, but the way he is talking about music lately he seems to be excited enough to put some work in. Could this possibly mean a new album from the Fresh Prince?  Could this mean Kanye production?  Does Will have any wishes to work with any current artists in the game?  I suppose we'll find out when that time comes... be on the look out for more news on Big Willy's (I know, such an awful, just wrong nickname) return to rap.
