The Week OnSMASH [9.20.14]

TheWeekOnSMASH_09-20-14

Welcome to another edition of The Week OnSMASH where we recap the hottest headlines from the past seven days. It was certainly a busy week for music, with a lot more R&B than we’re used to covering. Chris Brown, August Alsina, Jennifer Hudson & Ne-Yo all released new material, not to mention Queen Bey bringing out Nicki Minaj for a live rendition of Flawless. Jennifer Lopez set the pop world on it’s ear, dropping the much anticipated video for Booty with Iggy Azalea. The 45 year old mogul/pop diva shows she hasn’t lost a step, so we couldn’t resist paying tribute to her single with our favorite JLo Booty GIFs. Another standout this week was Complex’s look into Common’s classic hit The Light via their Magnum Opus series. As always we also included some of our favorite song drops from the past week.

Before you visit theaters this weekend, catch up on some new releases in our Movies To Watch This Weekend feature. If you are anticipating Nas’ upcoming documentary Time Is Illmatic, check below to see if it’s playing in a theatre near you – most screening are one night only. After some controversy, Lifetime’s Aaliyah biopic will premiere mid-November.  Speaking of premieres, Nike Basketball officially debuted the Lebron 12s this past week.  Nike also announced Flightposites with the copper treatment & Jordan Brand debuted a special Air Jordan Jeter Collection. adidas originals has been dropping some serious heat lately and their collections with Pharrel and Tokyo-based street wear kings Neighborhood are no different.

While it seems the media frenzy surrounding the NFL these days is all negative, we have a heartwarming story from an ex-Raven who recently retired to save his brothers life. Rhianna also fired back at CBS after they pulled her song from their Thursday Night Football premiere. College Football superstar Jameis Winston couldn’t escape the heat either after some abrasive words resulted in his suspension. Whether you’re a Yankees fan or not, don’t miss Derek Jeter’s Made In America episode as he marks the end of his era in New York.

Gamers rejoice! Rockstar Games finally confirmed a release date for GTAV on NextGen consoles. After playing the hit new gaming franchise Destiny, we’re heavily anticipating some other new games on the horizon. Also check out some dope new features in 2k15 – it doesn’t look like they’re gonna let NBA Live take any of their shine without a fight!

That’s about it for this edition of The WeekOnSMASH, check back tomorrow for our latest installment of Top 10 Videos of The Week, where we highlight our favorite new music videos.
