Chuck D, @MrChuckD - Tweet: "The look on my face after I heard what a sloppy fiasco @hot97 in NYC has made of HipHop. #culturalCrime"Following the conclusion of this year's Summer Jam, rap revolutionary Chuck D took to Twitter to unleash his dissatisfaction with the famed concert series. He accused the program of degrading rap culture and neglecting the mecca of hip hop. The station's former director-turned on-air personality, Ebro Darden, quickly added in his own take: the hip hop pioneer just wanted some "promo." #StillFightingThePower(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for NARAS)

Charlamagne Tha God, @cthagod - Tweet: "Prince showed up to the French Open holding a specter. Don't ever question me about him levitating while talking to me ever again."In the past, radio/TV personality Charlamagne Tha God has made claims that he watched his "boy-crush" Prince pull a levitating stunt the first time they met a couple years ago. So now that the iconic rock star has solidified his imperial status by showing up to the French Open Monday morning donning a tunic and blinged-out scepter, Charlamagne is even more convinced that the "Purple Rain" singer has magical powers. #PrinceDoneHypnotizedThePoorManNowHeCantEvenSpellRight (Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for REVOLT TV)
