It was another BEAST of a week (we’re in October now), as Fall finally creeped through the door, NY celebrated another week full of Jay-Z shows at Barclays and Kendrick Lamar held things down on the West Coast with his debut album good kid m.A.A.d city going up for pre-order on iTunes. We also got info on what really went down at the BET Awards and saw the return of artists like 50 Cent, KiD CuDi, Adele, Bruno Mars and Mario as well as plenty of mixtapes from the likes of T-Pain, Berner and Smoke DZA.
Check the jump for everything you need to know and might have missed this week.
