Donna Summer inspired a generation of female singers including Beyoncé. The pop superstar paid tribute to the late disco diva, who died at the age of 63, in an open letter on her website. “She was so much more than the queen of disco she became known for,” wrote B, who sampled Summers’ “Love to Love You Baby” on her 2004 hit “Naughty Girl.” Read her heartfelt words below.
Donna Summer made music that moved me both emotionally and physically to get up and dance. You could always hear the deep passion in her voice. She was so much more than the queen of disco she became known for, she was an honest and gifted singer with flawless vocal talent. I’ve always been a huge fan and was honored to sample one of her songs. She touched many generations and will be so sadly missed.
My love goes out to her family during this difficult time.
Love,
B
While on a promotional run in New York, T.I. stopped by Power 105′s The Breakfast Club.
The King of the South chatted about his family, his album with B.O.B., retirement and evolving in the rap game.
“Retiring, that’s final,” said T.I.P. “I’d take some time off and focus on something else for a minute.”
He addressed his struggle right now to evolve as an artist yet still give fans the T.I. music that they remember. “I can do that. It comes real easy to me. That’s what I started off doing. But see me as an artist, I make attempts to evolve and grow into something that surpasses what I’ve already done. But it seems like everybody’s just ‘I want him to do this.’”
With diverse musical interests, he mentioned that he just focuses on what moves him at the moment. “I can satisfy all of these genres. I just can’t drop one record that everybody digs the same way at the same time.”
Aside from music, he revealed that he will be continuing his acting career and already has some movies in the works.
Check out the full interview below.
‘What the hell is your problem homie?’

Rita Ora has all the makings of a star, according to Jay-Z. The Roc Nation mogul showered praise on his 21-year-old protégé during an interview with VEVO.
“You can see the potential. When she enters the room, it changes,” said Mr. Carter. “And that presence, you can’t duplicate that. Especially at such a young age. It was just infectious to me that she loves this. She’s driven in that way.”
Although she’s been signed to the label for two years, it was only recently that Jay saw her perform live. “The first time I truly saw her on stage was at theCartier event in New York City,” he said. “To have that sort of stage presence and that sort of energy—the music went off and she still was like, more. She still wanted to go. She jumped off the stage at one point, dancing with the crowd, a great moment.”
