MUSIC NEWS Rihanna gets paid big bucks for sitting pretty front row at fashion shows. She was recently spotted in Brooklyn at the Dior Cruise 2015 show and reportedly banked over $100,000. September 13, 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of Biggie’s debut album, Ready to Die. This album was the first release on Bad Boy Records. Hit singles include “Juicy”, “Warning”, “Big Poppa” and “One More Chance.” This was the only official studio album released during the lifetime of the Brooklyn rapper. He was murdered before dropping his second album, Life After Death. Biggie’s music lives on and he is still one of the greatest rappers of all times. Tops 3 highlights of Summer Jam 2014: Nicki Minaj owned the show as she graced her city with a long awaited Hip Hop performance.

She graced the stage with hits like “Did it On ‘Em”, and songs from her upcoming album, “Pills N Potion” and “Yass B*tch” which was performed with Soulja Boy.
