Drake was going to bring auto-tuned messiah Future on the “Would You Like a Tour?” tour, everything was looking great, and then Drake found out that Future — like lots of us — wasn’t crazy about Nothing Was the Same, Drizzy’s third straight LP of rap-singing about social media. (The money quotes, from Billboard writer Erika Ramirez, who spent time with Future: “Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn’t grab you. They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do … I’ve been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better.”) Now Future is suing Drake for $1.5 million in lost wages. This is regrettably distracting Drake from recording the next verse for the Great Kendrick Beef of 2013.

- And I’m all about all the sentences in Cord Jefferson’s Gawker essay on race and Kanye West’s alleged craziness. Here are two: “I believe there are numerous valid reasons to criticize Kanye West, but his rant on Jimmy Kimmel Live is not one of them. You may think he sounded crazy, but it wasn’t a kind of crazy that was foreign to me — or, I’d assume, millions of other Americans.” Check it out.
