The rapper has projected his song “New Slaves” onto the walls of 66 location all over the nation.

In the song, Kanye talks about the New World Order, paparazzi, his frustrations over a sparse, but bouncy beat.

All the locations can be found at KanyeWest.com.

Below, is the Williamsburg, Brooklyn projection of “New Slave.”

She told news magazine Rolling Out that she is the only person that can approve such an event.

“I am disappointed that Rock the Bells would not contact me directly about the use of my husband’s image,” she told Rolling Out. “I am looking forward to talking to Wu-Tang about this matter and coming up with a positive solution in order to bring my husband’s image to the stage once again.”

“My son, Young Dirty Bastard, [also known as] Boy Jones has always performed at Rock the Bells and looks forward to working with his Uncle RZA every year,” she said.

Earlier in the week, AllHipHop exclusively broke the news that Rock The Bells had secured “virtual performances” from the late Eazy-E and Ol’ Dirty. Organizers touted that they gotten the thumbs up from Eazy’s widow and ODB’s mother.

Earlier in the week, AllHipHop exclusively interviewed the man that will manage the process of these virtual performances, Chris “Broadway” Romero.

“This would not be happening without family approval, and without the involvement and excitement from the groups ODB and Eazy E anchored,” Romero told AllHipHop. “There will always be opposition to new the great power of new technology, but fans should rest assured that this power is in responsible hands.”

Changing the opinion of a man openly tells you you can’t tell him nothing and he’s a god is close to impossible. However, Tumblr’s Music Evangelist, Nate Auerbach wants Kanye West to come back to reality for a second.

Last week, West’s long time stylist, Ibn Jasper quoted the arrogant lyricist on his Instagram account during West’s performance at an afterparty for the Met Gala event in New York City. In an interview with Soundctrl.com, Auerbach claims Kanye was not an inspiration for Tumblr’s creation, however does attest that the Chicago rapper had an indirect influence on the revolutionary microblogging site:

“How many rap lyrics do you take literally? Lil Wayne says he’s a Martian. Tumblr is influenced by our users and by the creators on our platform. It would probably be more accurate to say that Kanye’s fans have influenced Tumblr. One of my favorite tumblogs is All Yeezy Everything.”

Prior to Tumblr’s inception in February 2007, West’s personal website kanyewest.com featured a very similar layout including a continuous scroll and a streamlined design for posting picture sets.

Chances are that the father-to-be has more pressing matters to deal with than validating his influence. According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian is planning on accompanying Kanye on his upcoming tour in October and has made demands to have soundproof  hotel rooms and cribs at every tour date for the newborn child.

“Some people seem like they are afraid to commemorate him due to how he died,” Bizzy Bone told TMZ. “But Bone never once has, nor will, stop commemorating him.”

Eazy-E (born Eric Wright) died from complications from AIDS on March 26, 1995 at the age 31. He was one of the first members of the Hip-Hop community to publicly reveal that he had contracted H.I.V.

Within two years of Wright’s death two other major Hip-Hop stars lost their lives as well. According to Krayzie Bone, the violent deaths of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. are revered while the way Eazy passed away holds his legacy to a different standard.

“[Pac and Biggie] died being known as gangsta heroes,” says Krayzie. “Eazy died from a disease, so many look at that differently.”

Bone plans to showcase Eazy during their set at this year’s Rock The Bells festival with a virtual version of the former N.W.A. rapper performing along side them.

“We are going to make sure we have the stage full of Eazy love,” says Layzie Bone.

DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Daniel Coursey decided to reschedule another hearing for next Wednesday so that Scrappy’s urine sample could be processed.

Scrappy turned himself in to police last month after his parole officer alleged he provided a drug sample that was cold to the touch, meaning it may have been old urine or someone else’s. Officials claim he was asked to give another test, but he refused. Scrappy was released from jail on April 24th.

Scrappy gave his side of the story in an interview with Streetz 94.5.

“They didn’t even test the pee,” Scrappy told host Rashan Ali. “I said, ‘you can check me or whatever you gotta do.’ He didn’t wanna check me. He got a little hostile with his voice, and I ain’t feena let nobody put they paws on me.”

One thing about me. I’m the worst kinda, worst kinda, worst kinda celebrity, because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real shit, and that’s it. That’s motherfucking it. That’s motherfucking it. So I don’t want nobody running up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and shit to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions. Throwing me off of my focus and shit. Harassing you all motherfucking day. I ain’t no motherfucking celebrity.

…go on SNL and you’re going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and shit and like humanize yourself?’ I ain’t here to apologize to no motherfuckers man. It ain’t about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe i was demonized. Or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that type of situation.

I ain’t no motherfucking celebrity. I ain’t running for office. I ain’t kissing nobody’s motherfucking babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and shit. I’m trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be. I don’t want nobody to ask nothing else of me. Don’t ask nothing else of me. Motherfuckers chasing you down ’bout to make you crash and shit. And all they want is for a nigga to laugh and shit. Hell nah, I ain’t doing no motherfucking SNL skits, this my goddamn life.

Will claims that the quote credited to him that started the story of Jaden asking for emancipation was a misunderstanding.

“I think I made a joke in Tokyo,” said Will. “No, no emancipation for the Smith kids.”

“[Will] says as soon as I have a movie that’s bigger than one of his movies I can get my own house,” joked Jaden.

Future feels despite all the negative attention the line “beat that pu**y up like Emmett Till” garnered, the end result was actually positive.

Future told Power 106:

I never thought it was going to get so much attention, but I think overall, the whole situation, he did bring light in a positive way to what happened. Even though they probably thought it was negative, he brought positive energy to the situation because a lot of people don’t even know [who Emmett Till was]. My dad didn’t even know who Emmett was, he think I was talking about Emmett Smith. I’m talking a lot of that are people around me, credible people, that should be like, ‘Man, you don’t even know who Emmett Till is?’ He raised awareness to people who didn’t even know Emmett Till. The young kids that never even knew what happened to him… I don’t believe he in any way, form, or fashion did it out of disrespect toward the family.

Another important player in the creation of “Karate Chop” weighed in on the issue as well. Metro Boomin, the producer of the track, spoke with Vibe recently. The 19-year-old Morehouse College student revealed that the version of the song with the Till line was never meant to be released.

According to Metro, the lyrics were removed from the track, because the people who had been working on “Karate Chop” felt they would be too controversial. The version with the Till reference was then leaked to the internet without permission.

“We didn’t even intend for it to come out like that,” said Metro. “It got ripped. I’m not even going to say his name…  one day he lucked up on the f*cking ‘Karate Chop’ video and he ripped the one with the Wayne verse and put it out.”

“He says, ‘Dad, I want to be emancipated.’ I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants to have his own place, like ‘Ooh,’” Will tells The Sun.

Jaden would like to join other famous teenagers like Drew Barrymore, Corey Feldman, and Macaulay Culkin who were granted independence from their parents. Past cases of celebrity emancipations have been mostly the result of battles over money or obtaining the legal right to work longer hours on movie sets.

Jaden’s emancipation request appears to be more about personal freedom than disputes over finances or wanting to work overtime. Will does not reveal if he and Jada Pinkett Smith will willingly grant their son the right to live alone, but he seems to be understanding of the teenager’s desire to control more of his life.

“That’s the backlash. On the other side, if kids just want to have command of their lives, I understand,” says Will.

Jaden has been a professional entertainer since the age of three when he appeared in 2002′s Men in Black II. The young actor has also starred in The Pursuit of Happyness, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and The Karate Kid.

He will join forces with his dad for this month’s sci-fi film After Earth (5/31) directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

He also continues to follow in his father’s footsteps by pursuing the world of rap music as well. Last October Jaden released his first mixtape The Cool Cafe.

The Brick Squad 1017 CEO was arrested on April 9th in connection with the assault of a U.S. marine although the rapper posted $75,000 bond and was released shortly thereafter.

Gucci’s freedom was short-lived though as just days later he would be re-arrested on April 13 for a probation violation.

While the probation violation cost Gucci nearly three weeks in jail and the likely loss of business while incarcerated, Gucci has been keeping a low profile since posting bond.

“He’s out on bond, just going about his life,” Gucci’s lawyer Drew Findling told a judge on Monday.

Prosecutors alleged that Gucci struck the soldier in the head with a champagne bottle causing deep cuts on the top of the man’s head, requiring stitches.

Despite the soldier’s claims, Gucci’s lawyer says no evidence exists against his client other than the alleged victim’s report.

The arrests made in the following incidents mark over a dozen arrests in Gucci’s storied career, which is marked by beating a 2005 murder charge that was eventually dropped.

Gucci’s newest mixtape, Trap House 3, hits the net next week.

Check the images below of Gucci’s recent run in with the law:

Nevertheless, you can’t talk about Memphis Hip-Hop without mentioning the classically trained and multi-platinum producer Drumma Boy, born Christopher James Gholson, who once attended the University of Memphis as a Music Business Major.

Drumma called in to the site yesterday (May 10) from Memphis where he has been enjoying the Memphis Grizzlies’ playoff run and where just a few days ago, Drumma boy was joined by Lil Wayne and Yo Gotti at the Grizzlies’ playoff game.

“I’m out here for these Grizz! Memphis Grizzlies are in the playoffs so we doing all our work out here man.  Theres a lot of positive energy out here in the city so its good to see the city in this spirit. If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I put on for my city man. Like Diddy in New York, its Drumma in Memphis,” Drumma Boy said.

Fresh off the success of sound scoring scary movies, Drumma spoke about the experience of writing music for movies for the horror flicks.

“I’m doing a lot of movie sound scores. I did a movie called ‘Holla II,’ I’m doing ‘Blood First.’ I’m doing a lot of different things that I haven’t done before. I’ve been on the mic hosting, DJing and trying to take things to that next level.” Drumma Boy told AllHipHop.com. “I scored the scary movie in 14 days, and it was just a matter of time frame, understanding your budget, your access to musicians etcetera.  Or how about instead of hiring all these people I can just play this and write this out myself. Then just being effective as far as matching the music to the emotion of the film, the music has to carry you through the moments and the suspense by changing the key at key moments. Like you gonna know when someone is going to get robbed or killed or, like oh they bout to have sex.  It’s about 10 or 11 beats in there and my music is placed as well, so it’s a blessing.”

Currently Drumma Boy is gearing up for the release of Chris Brown’s upcoming album and he is busy on several other projects as well.

“Yea I got a lot of different tapes I’m working on. I’m working on ‘Strictly for the Strippers,’ I’m working ‘Clash of the Titans’ with DJ Paul. I’m working on ‘Welcome to My City Part 3,’ its going to come out with a DVD documentary as well as part 3 of the trilogy.  I’m working on Chris Brown’s project, I’m working on Jeezy, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, the same stuff like that,” Drumma boy explained to AllHipHop.com.

Beyond his own personal music, Drumma Boy shed light on how he developed a friendship and working relationship with Epic Record’s Yo Gotti, as the two began working together early on in their careers on Memphis Hip-Hop scene.

“Man you know we pretty much came up together. When I moved out to Cordova, Tennessee, Gotti was one of the first artist that I was hearing about in his hood. I would be  selling tapes in the mall and street cats was talking about his music and I ended up getting his number, I rolled through the hood and I bumped into him and played him some beats,” Drumma Boy explained to AllHipHop.com.  ”He told me he wanted this one and that one, I told him how much and he pulled the money out of his pocket and paid me on the spot. Some people try to just hear the beats for entertainment or something and they aren’t about that business. He’s a dude that’s about his business if he respects what you do and he was just about his business. Regardless of if you come from the trap or if you come from the court playing ball, as long as you understand the game, and that’s one things cats don’t do.  Gotti understands the game.”

Aside from the trap friendly and gangsta style Southern Hip-Hop that Drumma has been known to make, Drumma explained that there is another side to Memphis – a budding arts and entertainment scene that welcomes skateboarding, art, dance and other forms of expression like trap/EDM DJs.

“Theres a whole another world to Memphis, you see the skateboarding. You see Lil’ Wayne dipped in here, yesterday he was at the game, and we were hollerin’ at him, asking him if there were skate parks out here and we were just putting him on points of the city that just aren’t really known,” Drumma Boy told AllHipHop.

“There’s different parts of the city that aren’t really known and people mostly think its like ‘First 48,’ and the negative side, the hard violence side. It’s close to murder capital, but.thats one thing the Grizzlies, me and Yo Gotti and so many of the different rappers that’s from the city are doing to better the city. We’re positively giving back and showing a different side city,” he said.

“There’s player style events with artistic paintings being crafted during parties, and it’s just a whole eclectic side that people don’t know about. I think the whole world has always known about our music talents, but there’s a whole other side like choreographers, videographers, the arts and crafts world, on the reality show side of things, the film side of things too.  Judge Mathis is doing a reality TV show on BET. The dance side is the biggest side of things that people don’t know about,’Memphis jookin.’  So the city is really growing and there’s a lot of things that are coming into perspective,” Drumma concluded.

Check the images below of Drumma Boy, Yo Gotti and Lil Wayne at the Grizzlies most recent game below: 

The cast includes rappers turned thespians Treach and Method Man with the former likening the new series to two of televisions greatest shows of all time in an interview with AllHipHop:

“It’s like the Supreme Team in the 80′s. It’s a series. It’s not just a film or a short. It’s a series they are doing that is called called South Side. Taheim called me up to be one of the top knotch drug dealers in the South side. It’s a mix between Sopranos and The Wire but it’s in 80s and it’s Hip Hop. It’s Kangols, and FILA suits and gazelles.”

The series’ centerpiece is a drug organization which accumulated over $200,000 in drug sales per day and its subsequent rise and fall. However, Bryan designed the series to provide more than a commentary on the drug trade in the 80′s:

“South Side series is special for Queens because South Side Jamaica is a place every city has, but for us we call it home. For years Queens was always looked at as an understatement, while Brooklyn was considered as the voice of NY. Though in all actually Queens is and has always been a house hold name that birthed many influential people from different walks of life, whether entertaining or the underground world. Like Russell Simmons, Run DMC, LL, Nas, Mobb Deep, Juice Crew, Large Professor, Tennis great John Mcenroe, Former 1st lady Nancy Reagan, Donald Trump, Tribe called Quest, the list can go on and on. So stay tuned for the untold story in South Side.”

There is no release date for the series.

Keef fathered his child at the age of 15 with an unnamed teenage girl. There have been conflicting reports about the young women’s age. TMZ originally reported that the girl is still currently in middle school making her between the ages of 13-15, but journalist Mark Konkol, who covers Chief Keef for DNAInfo Chicago, later reported that the mother is the same age as Keef.

Court documents apparently showed that the 17-year-old makes $13,000 a month, but Keef’s income could be getting a boost after some big business moves he has made recently. Last week he teamed up with Gucci Mane’s Bricksquad 1017, and yesterday Complex posted pictures of the “I Don’t Like” rapper’s new “Beats By Keef” headphones that could be available soon. 

Check out the photos of the “Beats By Keef” below.

James Workman’s Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings explores Kanye West in his own words. Workman crafts a nice remainder of the journey of Kanye through past interviews, performances, and videos.

Workman posted the doc on the Kanye To The fan forum with the following statement:

Mt [sic] first intention was to make like a 10 minute video with Kanye quotes and such, but I had so much material so I decided to make it a tad longer. The closest I could get to a real documentary. (We really need one in all honesty).

My goal was to capture something from every solo album, and the video is basically chronological. Starting with CD and ending with MBDTF.

I entitled it Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings (I know that’s not the actual line in Eyes Closed), because I feel like that sums up Kanye’s career – The outsider. The misunderstood genius.

This took me 5000 hours to make so please be kind…

“I’m not a Hip-Hop fan,” says Waka. “I can’t even tell you where Hip-Hop started. God’s honest truth.” The 26-year-old went on to share that he is more interested in exploring other genres like EDM.

Outside of music, Waka revealed he is working on a show for Cartoon Network and a few movie deals. He is also focused on a several community-based projects.

One of his charitable ventures has hit a snag. The Atlanta-based rapper said he is having trouble getting approval to build a YMCA in his neighborhood.

Watch the interview below.

The revelation is an ongoing series of events since Treach exclusively told AllHipHop that he and Vinnie were going separate ways as businessmen.

Treach, known to be thorough in the streets, said he was able to maintain his composure and not retaliate. He did say that cooler heads prevailed in the meeting.

“Its business. Grown man business. We on some different stuff now. Now, once you decide you want to get physical, now I’m going to show you my power on a different level…and still keep the goons off you,” Treach said.

Vinnie has yet to comment on the record about the alleged incident.

Kay Gee, although present in the studio with Treach, said he was not taking sides. He objected to the rap song “Tall Midget,” where Treach lyrically disses Vinnie.

One of those stops was at a Rhode Island High School as part of Kendrick’s participation in the “Get Schooled” campaign, encouraging kids to stay in school and show up to class.

Kendrick made his stop in Providence, RI to visit Mt. Pleasant High School after the school won a competition by increasing their attendance by 4%.

During the visit Kendrick met students, visited classrooms and participated in a school wide assembly.

Get Schooled has focused on attendance as an important factor in student performance as it’s one of the best predictors of high school graduation rates and college readiness.

While at Centennial High School in Los Angeles, Lamar was the first in his family to graduate from high school, and did so with a 4.0 GPA.

“Without education you don’t have anything,” said Kendrick Lamar. “My teachers were great positive influences in my life. My middle school English teacher was probably the reason I became a rapper. He used to encourage me to write poetry and would challenge me, which helped me improve my vocabulary and made me enjoy writing.”

Mount Pleasant High School is one of just a handful of middle and high schools in the nation that “Get Schooled” is recognizing for its attendance gains.

In a monologue, the also explained the risks of unprotected sex. A week ago, Cee was busted by undercover police for soliciting a male prostitute on a corner in Brooklyn. Cee has not agreed with this account of the situation, stating that the purported prostitute was a female.

The video is below.

“What’s going on everybody, it’s Mister Cee representing Hot 97. As all of you know, I’ve been through a lot this week with my situation and my addiction. I can honestly say I have an addiction and that’s something I’m going to have to deal with as I move forward in my life. But to all of you out there, I know there’s a lot of y’all that got y’all situations that y’all go through sexually. Whether it’s fellas messing with two or three women at a time or even some of you women. Women are just as much as cheaters as men out there. I mean, let’s just be honest, man. Everybody is not living a righteous lifestyle out there. Even myself. What I wanted to do today is to talk about the importance of safe sex, talk about the importance of using a condom, just talking about the importance of being healthy in your life as far as taking an HIV test. Now when I say taking an HIV test, the first thing people think about is that, ‘I don’t want anybody to know my business.’ Well, I got a little situation for you. You can go to AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Now at AHF, your business is your business, as it should be,” Cee added. “Private and confidential. There are professionals to help you with your situation. AHF has all new facilities throughout Brooklyn all the way to Amsterdam. Matter of fact, there’s a facility right on Atlantic Ave right in Brooklyn.”

Soulja is also already rumored to be signing a Ghanaian artist to his SODMG record label that will also be the headliner for the concert.

In the Warner Bros Animation quarter-hour series Mike will solve mysteries with the help of his trusty talking pigeon side-kick.

“She really thought that was a sexist, degrading thing for him to say. Especially after all Rihanna endured after he beat her and all that.”

According to reports, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) has opened a new case on the miniature sized rapper, born Luis Rivera Jr, now 10 years old.

Despite closing a two month long investigation in April, the DCF has opened a new case after Poopy’s videographer and producer, Brian Slay,  was pulled over by Brockton police and the car smelled like marijuana

According to police, the young rapper and his videographer were approached by Brockton Police after they pulled into a McDonald’s after midnight earlier this week.

Although the police did not find any marijuana, the routine traffic stop has now turned into an investigation into the young rapper’s family after Lil Poopy was in the car with Slay.

When they saw ‘Lil Poopy’ in the car, it escalated from a routine stop to harassment,” said Joseph Krowski, Lil Poopy’s attorney. “Why this warrants an investigation is just as perplexing as the last time.”

Lil’ Poopy’s rise to fame began after a series of controversial videos caused Brockton police to investigate Poopy’s family for abuse and neglect in February of this year.

Proclaiming to be a “Coke Boy,” the French Montana prepubescent protegé raised eyebrows earlier this year when he was seen slapping women’s backsides in a night club setting, rapping, “coke ain’t a bad word.”

Other investors on the endeavor include Pusha T, record label/creative agency DECON, and an international firm, White Owl Capital.

Moving into online content, the media group is expecting to expand from print to an online publication, with Nas serving as Mass Appeal’s associate publisher.

Mass Appeal was founded in 1996 and shut down in 2008, before being revived by the current team earlier this year.

Seeking to include web video, photography, social, print and live experiences, Mass Appeal  YouTube account features behind the scenes of the magazine, the “Time Pieces” series of short videos from Jason Goldwatch, and more.

“While we embrace all things hip-hop (as it is part of our heart and soul), we stand for (and have always stood for) creative instigation,” said publisher Peter Bittenbender, who is also the CEO of DECON. “Music and its influence is such a massive part of our creative equity along with street art and fashion.”

“Whatever he’s doing in his spare time, he does in his spare time. My thing to J.R. is I want him to remain positive, regardless of what’s going on off the court, what’s being said about him.”

Coach Mike Woodson echoed Anthony’s sentiments and believes Smith will eventually break out of his shooting slump but also hints at decreasing Smith’s playing time if things do not change. “”If I feel he’s not giving me anything, I could always turn to other guys on that bench,” says Woodson during a radio interview.

“I saw Trick Monday in [King of Diamonds] and we had a talk and it was all love,” said Birdman. “That’s dead meat.”

Reports of a brewing beef between Wayne and Trick began circulating in February after Wayne went on a rant dissing Miami Heat players at a show during NBA All-Star weekend.

Trick Daddy, a Miami native, addressed Wayne’s comments in an interview saying, “I don’t care who be offended by what I say. I rep my city and want nobody disrespecting… When they lease is up they can leave.”

Monty $$ alleges he sent the original track to an unnamed friend who works for Pharrell and has taped phone conversations with the friend wherein he admits to his version of “Twerk It” being the basis for the Pharrell-produced version.
