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

By
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.

Tyga said that he didn't even intend to make money off of the project and added, "Yall mfs is funny. I put my album out myself for free on spotify,soundcloud, YouTube to stream.

Lakers Fire Head Coach Mike Brown After Horrible Season Start

By
Unfortunately for the now former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mike Brown, has officially faced the music and been fired from his head coaching position. According to sources who reached out to ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne, Brown's job was walking the plank looking out onto treacherous waters below after a more than disappointing 1-4 start to the Lakers season, which is the worst in the Western Conference. Two potential candidates are being offered the head coaching spot on an interim basis according to the source; assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff or Chuck Person. Brown has to be stressed, but at the end of the day, anyone who knows basketball knows the deal. If the coach isn't helping the team produce winning results, then he has to go. The Lakers are sporting an incredibly expensive payroll as well which is just over $100 million as they have (on paper at least) a monstrous lineup of quality talent in Kobe Bryant (who is battling a foot injury), ...
