New Post 2017 MTV Video Music Awards Had Lowest Viewership of All Time Despite electric performances from Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran and Lil Uzi Vert, the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards suffered a huge drop in ratings when it aired this past Sunday (Aug. 27). According to The Washington Post, the network drew just 5.4 million viewers, the lowest total since Nielsen began tracking viewers for the show back in 1994. MTV can take some consolation in the fact that it aired the same ...night as the season finale for the wildly popular HBO series Game of Thrones, which drew in 12.07 million viewers on Sunday night. This year’s viewership was a steep drop from the 6.5 million viewers that tuned in to the 2016 VMAs, the 9.8 million that tuned in to the 2015 and the 10.3 million people that watched in 2014. Needless to say, that’s a pretty consistent pattern of drop-offs in viewership. While this does, at the first couple of glances, appear to be a very troubling sign for MTV, The Washington Post points out a couple factors that could have precipitated a drop in viewership. On one hand, there’s the aforementioned Game of Thrones season finale. Then, of course, there’s the matter of streaming, which, according to Rolling Stone, has recently seen a massive surge. Back in 2016, the VMAs were streamed 45.8 million times on Facebook, up from 4.4 million streams in 2015. Crazy stuff. The VMAs won Sunday night with teens, though. Nielsen ratings indicate that more teens tuned into this year’s VMAs than Game of Thrones. 2017 MTV Video Music Awards: Best, Worst and Weirdest Moments by daniela

New Post Jay-Z Shares New Poem Dream. On. By Max Weinstein August 30, 2017 9:35 AM On Wednesday (Aug. 30), JAY-Z shared a new poem on Tidal called Dream. On. complete with a visual that harkens back to 5C, the apartment he grew up in at Marcy Houses in Brooklyn. The poem, created in collaboration with Budweiser ahead of the Made in America festival this Labor Day weekend, can be watched in the visual below. I’m from where dreaming ain’t allowed, especially when you dream...ing aloud/Enough to dream your self esteem into clouds/It takes tears, sweat, blood, five CCs/’Cause I know what a kid in apartment 5C seed/Heaven knows all I had was hella hope, speed dating with destiny, I couldn’t tell her nope/When I first saw stars, television was my telescope/For me, something that could see me free was a bar/Through diamonds in the sky that never came down, now that’s a star/My vision was big enough to get me out of the space, I wanted to pass how far I see/I wondered could a kid from Mars see, a kid from Marcy, spits Jay during the poem. Just last week, Tidal shared part two of Elliott Wilson and B. Dot’s interview with Hov, where he talks about squashing past rap beefs, the death of Prodigy and much more. Watch JAY-Z’s Dream.

New Post Georgia County Officials Are Asking Live Nation to Cancel an Upcoming R. Kelly Concert By: Andy Cush Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, are asking Live Nation to cancel an upcoming R. Kelly concert at the county-owned Wolf Creek Amphitheater, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The county attorney will send a request to the concert promotions giant at the behest of county commissioners. The news comes, of course, in the wake of a blockbuster BuzzFeed story wh...ich claimed that Kelly keeps a cult of women and controls every aspect of their lives, the latest in a long string of sexual misconduct allegations against the R&B icon. (One such woman has since made a public statement that she is totally fine.) On Monday, Billboard reported that Kelly had canceled three dates on his upcoming tour, in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Dallas. Seven tour dates, including the Fulton County show, remain on his active schedule, and a Live Nation rep previously confirmed to the AJC that the Fulton County date will go on as planned. A county representative told the paper that the request to cancel the show reflects the wishes of area residents, but the final decision belongs to Live Nation. R. Kelly gave a statement last week calling the sex cult allegations crap, but has not specifically addressed the cancelled tour dates in public. CREDIT: Frederick M. Brown/Getty by daniela
