Eric Benct Reacts To Jay Z's Warning Lyrics

(Radio.com) "You almost went Eric Benet / Let the baddest girl in the world get away/ I don't even know what else to say / **** never go Eric Benet," Jay Z raps in the opening track "Kill Jay Z" off his new album 4:44.

Jay Z is referencing Benet's split from his then-wife Halle Berry. Soon after the album dropped, the R&B singer responded on Twitter, writing, "Hey yo #Jayz! Just so ya know, I got the baddest girl in the world as my wife�.like right now."

In an interview with USA Today, Benet clarified his initial response, saying that he intended it to be "lighthearted" and that "it's all love." Benet went on to compliment Jay Z, remarking that "everything he makes is always fire" and that it is "unreal" to be mentioned in his lyrics.

"He's talking about some deep stuff on the song, how he needs to be a better man for Blue and he went through it � and personally, I'm just happy to see that he and Beyonce made it through on the other side, and everything is dope, " he said. "So from my perspective, I think that everything that happens in your past, most of it leads to where you are today. And I love my life as it is, my babies and my wife, so life and God is good." Check out his tweet here.

Charlie Puth Explains His Beatbox Beginnings

(Radio.com) Charlie Puth finally has a title for his sophomore album, VoiceNotes, but still no official release date. The LP's lead single "Attention" already has the world on notice. The idea for the song came to Puth on his tour bus in Tokyo, Japan and was recorded on his phone.

Toward the end of the song's music video, Puth demonstrates how his music is made by using only his mouth as an instrument. It turns out Puth began perfecting those skills in 8th grade and in the back of his parents' car.

"My dad would listen to Motown' R&B. My mom would listen to folky, Americana stuff and the classical music. I got a nice smorgasbord of musical offerings," Puth told Fresh 102.7. "I would harmonize with every song. I would beatbox' And that's how I make music on the fly: I'll just click my teeth and annoy the crap out of everybody around me." Read more here.
