Nearly 100 years ago (99 to be exact), the man we all knew as Sun Ra was born. And even though he passed away in May 1993, his legacy lives on through the music of some of our favorites. Like Ras G, for example, who is paying homage to the musician he said changed his life. On “Happy Arrival Day Mister Ra”, you hear some Moog work and vocals from Sun Ra while the remaining effects, percussion, and keys are handled by Ras G. It’s an absolute trip and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Doing. The. Most. Kim Kardashian Sends Out Music Box Baby Shower Invitations According to TMZ reports: Just how over the top were Kim Kardashian’s music-box baby shower invitations? Really, really, really over the top — and TMZ has the first photo proof. The invite to Kim K’s June 2nd bash — sent to a guest close to Kanye West — arrived as a fully functional music box, complete with a spinning ballerina … dancing to a lullaby version of Kanye’s “Hey Mama.” Not only is the invite playing the baby daddy’s tune, but the ballerina bears a striking resemblance to Kim herself — just in case anyone forgets who this party is REALLY celebrating. According to the invites, Kris Jenner, Shelli Azoff (wife of uber-manager Irving Azoff), Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are hosting the party. Recommended attire … garden chic. We think that’s rich people speak for casual. Bet they wrap the baby in a custom Louis Vuitton blanket soon as he/she pops out of the p…SMH You can hear the lullaby version of Kanye’s tune below.

Take that! Take that! D.Woods Not Invited To Danity Kane Reunion Recently ex-members of Bad Boy girl group Danity Kane grabbed lunch in LA and talked a possible reunion. The problem? One person was missing… D.Woods! The former member did a radio interview with Atlanta’s Hot 107.5 and expressed how she felt to be left out the reunion by her old gal pals… “I was surprised myself. (laughs) However, after seeing the pictures, after seeing the clip of the video, I saw that they were in Los Angeles. I am not in Los Angeles, so there goes the reason why I wasn’t in the picture. I’m actually in Atlanta right now. I’m in pre-production rehearsals for the new musical called “Rebirth.” That’s what I’m currently doing right now as we speak. “I found out when my Twitter timeline went off the chain.” “I mean we did go our separate ways in fall of 2008. And since then I’ve been really putting my energy towards these other projects.” Check out the full interview below…

What looks like the final trailer for Man Of Steel before it flies into theaters in June is here. It features plenty of General Zod, who is willing to wreak plenty of havoc on Earth to nab his Krypton brethren Kal-El aka Superman. Also, we have heat vision. Says Vulture: So here's Michael Shannon getting his own Man of Steel trailer since Zack Snyder's Superman reboot is less than a month away and maybe you're not quite terrified of General Zod yet. Maybe you're still wishing for your old frenemy Lex Luthor. But does that boring baldie have all these MASSIVE SPACESHIPS AND INVINCIBLE SPACE-WARRIORS? Nope. That's all Zod. And while this is the jumpiest of trailers, gems and clues are clearly buried inside. Amy Adams holds Henry Cavill's hand, gets flown off by Supes, and maybe puts on some kind of supersuit of her own. And Superman punches tons of stuff and sinks into a pit of skulls. Things are looking much better than the initial trailers that had Clark Kent looking like an Alaskan fisherman. We're sold. Man Of Steel is in theater June 14.

T.I. drops off the visual to his song with Cee-Lo for “Hello”. This comes off his “Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head” album which is in stores now. It’s directed by Marc Klasfeld.

According to his Soundcloud, Ta-ku‘s been keen on remixing the track “Love” by Daughter, a singer-songwriter hailing from the U.K., for some time now. And finally, late last night, he liberated his take on the ethereal cut to the masses and the time couldn’t have been more perfect. Should you have woken up in the wee hours of the night, perhaps putting on this edit, entitled “Love Lost”, helped you drift back to sleep. Or maybe you were up anyway, waiting on the right time to hit the hay. You can stream/download the track below.

J. Cole had late night rocking to his sounds when he stopped by “Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday. Joined by The Roots, the Roc Nation MC performed his single “Power Trip,” which is currently No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. Cole has moved the release of Born Sinner up a week to compete directly with Kanye West’s Yeezus on June 18. The album is now available for pre-order on iTunes. The standard edition features 16 tracks, while the deluxe includes 5 additional songs.

The views and opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of AllHipHop.com We’re all made in the image of God. Kanye West wants to be God. Hip Hop has always been about braggadocio antics and ego, but believe it or not there is a ceiling to what people will approve of. Kanye West has walked that fine line and is about to step over it. But is this really anything new? Rappers have been referring to themselves as things that they aren’t since the beginning. When you lie, you have to continue to create new lies to support the original lie. In hip hop, the titles and bragging have escalated from the dopest emcee, ambassador of a region, gangster, baller, don, killer, king of a region, king of hip hop, best to ever do it, Makaveli (Tupac), Hov (Jay-Z), a God, Rakim (a Five Percenter) and now Yeezus. I’m not really shocked. The infatuation with Jesus has been with Kanye since he hit the mainstream with “Jesus Walks.” In ’06 Kanye said that he should be in a revised version of the Bible. He didn’t just liken himself to Jesus on the 2006 Rolling Stone cover, he posed as him – crown of thorns and all. And most recently of course the rumor that his new album would be titled ‘I Am God’ and then ‘I Am A God’, to finally the recent rumor/leak the title will actually be Yeezus. You can call it art or metaphorical and lie to yourself all you want but Kanye is no different than the countless men in the past that have worshipped and created idols, or lied to themselves by thinking that they are equal to God or God himself. He is the furthest progression in hip hop toward thinking and/or trying to get others to think that he is the greatest ever. That progression naturally moves to blasphemy by putting himself on the highest level possible – God. I would wager that Kanye is just creating a buzz for his new album and testing the waters to see if the masses would accept it, and end up changing the album title.
