Lil Yachty's 'Teenage Emotions' Cover: Mykki Blanco, Cakes Da Killa, Adore Delano & More React

Image
Last Friday (April 21),  Lil Yachty  generated buzz after unveiling his album cover for his debut studio album,  Teenage Emotions  -- and the chatter hasn’t stopped. The album art features Yachty in the center of a movie theater, surrounded by people not normally represented in the media: a girl afflicted with vitiligo, an albino boy and -- perhaps the most controversial -- a young gay couple making out. The response has been generally positive, with people applauding Lil Boat’s decision to start a conversation with his album art.  Billboard  reached out to LGBTQ musicians to see what they thought. Gia:  I think it’s a bold message coming from someone who is a familiar face in the rap community. I admire how Lil Yachty is so connected with his fans and becoming a voice for our generation. Yachty putting this on the cover is an example of acceptance of our differences and a much needed statement for the hip-hop community and the world to see. Any statement homogenizing

Yaya Toure © Gallo Images Premier League Predictor Premier League Fantasy Video Highlights The Bobby Moore story on DStv 'City can drive home edge over United'

Yaya Toure believes Manchester City can prove they are the number one team in Manchester if they finish the Premier League season above their old rivals United. A 0-0 draw against United in Thursday's derby at the Etihad maintained City's one-point advantage over Jose Mourinho’s side in the race for a top-four finish and qualification for next season's Champions League. Victory for City against struggling Middlesbrough would help Toure's team ensure they finish above United for the fifth time in six seasons. "Yes, of course, all the time we finish above them in the season, it shows City are doing very well," said Toure when asked about the shift in the balance of power. "United are building something very interesting. We have to be aware of that but I think City are going to be much much stronger next season as well. "Next year we are going to expect more and I hope United are going to attack a little bit more. "City are always f

The LA Liga Struggle Continues As Real Madrid Trashes Valencia 2 – 1

Image
Real Madrid avoided a slip-up on Saturday in La Liga, beating Valencia 2-1 on a late goal from Marcelo. Entering the day level on points with Barcelona atop the standings, Real looked headed for a win with Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-half goal. But a sick free kick goal from Dani Parejo with just under 10 minutes to go made it seem like the hosts would only get a point, but the Brazilian defender produced some late magic to lift his team to a vital win. Riding that goal the entire match without creating much, Real conceded in the 82nd minute with this stunning strike from Parejo. But just four minutes later, Marcelo cut inside down the left and fired home for the win. And that is a massive result. A draw combined with a Barca win on Saturday would have seen Real down two points in the standings, with their campaign taking a big hit, but it comes up late as it does so often and keeps its hopes of winning the league alive and well.

Real Madrid Will Suffer Until The End In La Liga Title Race – Zidane

Image
Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has said his team would “suffer” until the end of the La Liga title race, after they defeated Valencia 2-1 on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo headed Madrid in front and missed a penalty in the second half, before Dani Parejo curled in a 25-yard free-kick with eight minutes left. There was still time for Marcelo to grab a late winner, to clinch all three points for Zidane’s side. “After the Valencia goal we woke up again, and also the fans pushed the players on again. The game was different then. “We know about this [the ability to win games late on], but I cannot explain why it happens. That is why football is so good – it’s exciting to win like that at the end,” Zidane said. He also admitted that his players may have been distracted by Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg at home to Atletico Madrid. “From my experience as a player, if you know that on Tuesday you have such an important game, you think you can just control t

Premier League!! Mourinho In Trouble As Manchester United Draw 1-1 With Swansea In Champions League Fight

Image
A wonderful Gylfi Sigurdsson free-kick earned Swansea a precious point in their battle for Premier League survival and damaged Manchester United’s push for the top four. Sigurdsson curled over the wall from about 20 yards to cancel out Wayne Rooney’s penalty and move the Swans to within two points of 17th-placed Hull. United stay fifth, level on points with Manchester City, who play Middlesbrough on Sunday, and a point behind Liverpool after the same number of games. The disappointment of the dropped points was compounded by the loss of both Eric Bailly and Luke Shaw to injuries, joining a list that already includes fellow defenders Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo. But the result was probably fair on Swansea, who had every reason to claim that Marcus Rashford dived for the penalty that Rooney converted. Who was your man of match??
