MUSIC ROUNDUP: Kendrick Lamar Is Officially A GQ Man

Holding his microphone and rocking a suit and tie, Kendrick Lamar covers GQ’s annual Men of the Year issue in style!

The magazine named the 26-year-old lyricist their Rapper of the Year, just in time for the one year anniversary of his debut platinum-selling album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. The cover line reads, “The Next King Of Rap Kendrick Lamar Claims The Throne In Our Men Of The Year Issue.”

The magazine interviewed the Compton native in August, around the time everyone was super hyped about his then just-released “Control” verse where he called out fellow artists like Drake. He said he’s “pretty cool” with the Young Money rapper but added, “I mean, I would be okay if we weren’t.”

And as far as why he attended Diddy’s VMA aftershow party and not the main event, he said: “I only go when there’s a point. Usually the point is just niggas drinking. But walking through the club the week after I released the ‘Control’ verse? That’s a point!”

Check out the cover below. The December issue of GQ is on newsstands now.

Judge Dismisses DMX’s Bankruptcy Case

It looks like DMX will have to pay all his bills because the court is not buying his bankruptcy story.

According to reports, a New York judge tossed out the rapper’s Chapter 11 filing, forcing him to pay all of his creditors. His biggest debt is $1.3 million in back child support owed to his 10 children.

Sources say the 42-year-old entertainer did not provide “trustworthy information” in his bankruptcy case, which ultimately lead to its dismissal.

“Despite this recent obstacle, the team will continue to move forward with DMX’s national performances,” DMX’s spokesperson Domenick Nati said. “We are still working relentlessly at obtaining his passport for his fan overseas.”
