Joey Bada$$ & Troy Ave Throw Subs at Each Other Over Album Sales

Two of New York's hottest upcoming rappers had Twitter on fire after the they were caught taking subliminal shots at one another.
Yesterday Brooklyn natives Joey Badass and Troy Ave came at each other over album sales and who the best independent artist is between themselves.  About two weeks ago Troy Ave - a.k.a. Mr. "Major Without a Deal" - addressed the fact that he had only sold 7,708 copies of his latest album in its first week, and claimed that despite the low numbers, he's on "the #1 independent label in the streets." Apparently Joey Bada$$ - who released "B4.DA.$$" back in January - caught wind of the comment and decided to tweet out a friendly "reminder" that he "sold 57,000+ albums in his first week," making  him the "#1 Independent Hip Hop artist/brand in the world."
A few hours after Joey tweeted out his stats, Troy Ave went on to talk about about a "fake independent" rapper whose had "NO single, NO party hosting's [and] NO real endorsements." Take a look at both of their tweets in the gallery and let us know who you feel is the better artist between the two below.

Photos Surface of Fugitive El Chapo Drinking & Flying in Plane

Mexico is in a state of emergency after kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from prison again, and photos have surfaced of him allegedly drinking a beer and flying in a plane. The photos leaked on a Twitter page allegedly belonging to the crime boss' son, but the photos have yet to be verified. Drug Enforcement Agent Mike Vigil doubts that Guzman's son would leak the photos, telling the San Antonio Express-News, "I don't think (his son) would leak those photos because that could be used to try and apprehend Chapo, and that would be circumventing his planned escape." The feared kingpin escaped from Altiplanoa, maximum security prison in Mexico, via a mile-long tunnel that many suspect was dug with help from the outside. El Chapo also escaped from prison in 2001 via a laundry cart, and he was found thirteen years later on a Mexican beach resort.
