Are you looking forward to it?

Check out the lyrics to “Black Skinhead” which Kanye tweeted below:

Singer/producer/writer Akon filed a paternity test against one of his many baby mamas asking the court to establish custody, child support and legally recognize him as the two boys biological father.

After the tests proved that Akon was the father, he had to submit docs proving his monthly income — a whooping $40,000.

Based off of that the judge ordered him to pay $5,000/month for the two boys. That may not seem like much but considering that Mr. “Locked Up” has six other children the system didn’t want him going broke.

This past Friday, D. Wade stopped by the senior prom of Archbishop F. Coleman Carroll High School senior Nicole Muxo. Muxo had original invited the fellow Miami resident to her prom via Twitter and even when she didn’t hear back she sent the address through a direct message.

The New York Daily News reports:

Wade said he decided to “go and make this a memorable moment for her.”

The Chicago rapper has gotten quote the reputation in Chicago, but now he has fallen under far more intense scrutiny than before.

According to reports, the slapped and threaded to kill and 8-year-old boy for snitching. The family of the boy fear that Lill Mouse may actually hurt the boy has have requested that the student get permanently transferred away from West Pullman Elementary to aanother school.

According to Fox 32 in Chicago, the family is looking to leave Chi Town for good.

“I wanna pack up and just go,” the boy’s grandmother said. “I’ve already lost one child and I don’t want to lose another one.”
Furthermore, the threats have continued.
“The students, the eighth graders have grouped up together…made a phone call and said he’s snitching, He need to get killed for snitching,” she said.


Lil Mouse has been charged with assault, according to reports, but these have not been made official by authorities.

Here’s “Get Smoked” by Lil Mouse

He explained to Rolling Stone why he’s yet to get in the studio with Nicki Minaj or Drake.

Busta said the he expects all parties to get together soon and already has something with Drake that he’s cooking up.

In 2012, Busta Rhymes released his ninth solo album, Year of the Dragon.

His legal issues have kept him at bay a bit, but Gunplay won’t stop talking. The man is here and he’s letting it be known that he punched 50 Cent dead in the face. I’m not certain this was ever proven and certainly, we didn’t see any evidence on 50′s face as he went on to perform at the BET Awards.

Here is the audio.

Lest we not forget, he “lost” his chain in that fracas. Nevertheless, Gunplay is cool with me. A truly interesting person.

“I can’t stop the rumors from starting, and I can’t really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me.”

This is all because people think she’s pregnant. She didn’t exactly say she NOT pregnant either.

AND, THERE’S KANYE….

And this cannot make Kanye happy. His new song reflects that.

They are going in on Kanye. I’ve got nothing to say.

Talk about assassination of character.

Wait…not so fast. I thought Kim’s worst fear was being alone.

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.”

That’s right: Superstar supermom Beyoncé is expecting her second child with hubby Jay-Z, multiple sources exclusively confirm to E! News.

The news follows rampant speculation that the “Countdown” songbird was pregnant, even as the couple remained tight-lipped about their ever-growing family.

Rumors first began churning that the Grammy winner was with child when, earlier this month, she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala wearing a custom-made Givenchy gown that deftly concealed her stomach, its bodice cinched high above the waist just as its intricate pattern made it difficult to discern any change in her silhouette.

Speculation then went into overdrive Tuesday after Beyoncé was forced to cancel her Mrs. Carter Show performance in Antwerp, Belgium, after doctors advised her to rest “as a result of dehydration and exhaustion.”

The 31-year-old recently spoke out about the possibility of giving 1-year-old Blue Ivy a sibling, telling ABC News that she “would like more children” and explaining that she thinks her daughter “needs some company.”
Looks like that company is coming sooner rather than later.

One current performer has not just tapped into that Blues tradition in spirit, he fully embraces it. Singer/producer/rapper Jared Evan’s sound actively fuses the vocal techniques and subject matter associated with the Blues with the production style and rhyme cadence commonly used in Hip-Hop. The result of that combination is the 23-year-old’s latest project Boom Bap & Blues.

Evan’s self-created album cover was inspired by the film ‘Reservoir Dogs’

“It has the Hip-Hop elements that I have always loved, but it has the soul and vocal elements from all the stuff I grew up listening to as well,” says Evan.

Evan was raised on Long Island, New York with a father who introduced him to everything from Al Green to Led Zeppelin. He delved into music on his own by picking up playing the drums at an early age.

Around the age of 13, Evan began studying 90′s Hip-Hop classics like Method Man’s Judgement Day, The Roots’ Illadelph Halflife, Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, and Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die. The storytelling and rhythms of rap music had the young Jared hooked.

Evan’s interest in music eventually led him to pursue the industry professionally. He released the video for his self-produced single “Frozen” in 2009 which led to the former Fader magazine intern to get signed with Interscope Records.

“Right when I made it, I had that feeling where I thought I had something special,” says Evan about his breakout song. “Frozen” went on to appear on the soundtrack to the Lebron James documentary More Than A Game beating out a Jay-Z track for the last spot on the LP.

While having connects at a major label helped Evan get his foot in the door in the music business, he ultimately decided to take the independent route. He decided that was the best approach to having more creative control over his music and not being forced to chase radio spins.

“If you live and die by the hit, then you live and die by the hit,” explains Evan. “That’s no kind of world an artist wants to live in. You have to constantly be pressured on following up your next hit with the last one.”

Going independent has not stopped Evan from making serious strides with his work. His latest project, Boom Bap & Blues, is a collaborative effort with DJ Statik Selektah. Evan handled the vocals, Statik tackled the beats, and New Jersey producer Illmind covered the mixing. The three East Coast Hip-Hop heads worked together to produced an album that helped Evan find his signature sound.

“I didn’t let anyone else around me change what I was doing,” explains Evan. “It was just me, Illmind, Statik Selektah, and just the people who understood what I was trying to do.”

Evan and Statik first connected back in 2010 at a show at SOB’s. Evan introduced himself to the well known Hip-Hop producer and three weeks later they were at Statik’s Brooklyn studio crafting songs. Evan admits that at the time he still was trying to figure himself out as an artist, so not much came from those initial sessions.

Fast forward two years later and you have a newly independent Jared Evan that was ready to move forward with a cohesive sound. He hooked back up with Statik, and this time they created the boom bap/soulful track “The Devil Wears Prada.” Evan wanted to use it on a solo project he was working on at the time. Statik had a different idea.

-

“I was assuming he was giving me that record for The 4th Chapter EP,” says Evan. “But he was like, ‘nah, dude we’re doing a project.’ When he said that I started to think further into the concept of what we would do as an album.”

The synergy of “The Devil Wears Prada” spawned the tone of the project that became Boom Bap & Blues. Evan says that his musical connection to Statik, and Illmind, that created that sound is definitely something he is going to explore in another installment. The two plan to be continuous working partners similar to another famous singer-producer duo.

“Timberlake and Timbaland. That’s a good comparison,” says Evan.“You know how on Timberlake’s first album he had Timbaland and Pharrell? I feel like Illmind’s my Pharrell, and Statik’s my Timbaland.”

While Evan wants to follow the familiar producer approach of Justin Timberlake, he does not subscribe to the “Blue Eyed Soul” tag JT is often labeled with.

“I don’t think soul should be labeled. If it’s soul, it’s soul. It doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, Hispanic, or whatever. If you got soul, you got soul,” says Evan. “[Boom Bap & Blues] is way deeper than R&B or even soul. It’s actually the blues.”

Tracks like “Black & White” featuring Joey Bada$$ and “Pro Create” featuring Action Bronson are rooted in the blues heritage with a twist of present-day Hip-Hop.

-

“We’re doing 2013, but we’re doing it in a way that’s reminiscent of what use to go on. I love that, because to me that’s fresh,” says Evan. “Having a sound that’s reminiscent [of the past] is not repeating it. We’re doing 2013, but we’re adding sprinkles of the music we love that has been missed for so long.”

Jared Evan takes pride in his affiliation with a valuable, long-standing musical genre with his brand of Hip Hop Blues.

“I am a child of the music that came before me, and I’d like to continue to carry that torch.”

Boom Bap and Blues is available for download on iTunes.

Soooooo…. are the Big Tymers the Big Tymers without Mannie Fresh? I’m not sure that its the Big Tymers, but don’t tell that to Lil Wayne, Drake or Baby! They have release a press pic or something of the three of them all giving a very unified and poignant message to WHOEVER. I don’t know who, but I’m thinking maybe…its to the haters. And, if you want to go farther…to the man Mannie Fresh! Fresh is the man, make no mistake about it. In the 90s and, I think, some of the 2000′s Fresh WAS the sound of Cash Money. Don’t forget he used to rap a lot too and was one half of the original Big Tymers.

In the 20-13 era…this is the Big Tymers. What are they saying to us?

By the way, I will never write another “Drake is leaving Cash Money” rumor again! Until Drake says something, I’m going to assume he 100% down with the crew.

I’m thinking this is the reason why they may be sending this message! Mannie had something to say.

“It’s kinda like doing a Jackson 5 album with Boyz II Men. Two different eras, great artists, but Boyz II Men is not the Jackson 5. I don’t bash Cash Money, Birdman, or none of them. It’s really on, I’m just striving on just getting what I deserve, you know, what I put in. Honestly I think Drake is a great artist, I think Wayne is a great artist, but they not the Big Tymers. You can call it whatever you want to call it, but you can’t call it a Big Tymers album.”

“Whatever stories you hear about this n***a, I deal with it on an everyday basis,” Continental explained. “I deal with that sh*t. So, when he’s gone and doing the rap sh*t and he’s starting the beef and he’s igniting all that, I’m still here…I’ve been paranoid. I don’t be out like that because—I’m worried about if a n***a would try to do it. None of the beef that I’m gripped up for or be running around with is not mines. I’m not outside starting trouble. This is somebody else’s problems I inherited.”

“So, to a n***a listening, nobody’s trying to be a gangster. I want to get the f**k away from this. I’m trying to do my thing. So, when you see me rapping it’s not me rapping about trying to portray something. No n***a, this what’s gon’ get me to get the fuck out the situation because I’m still in that situation. So, while you’re in your bulletproof and you good and you somewhere else, the reality is I still gotta deal with the sh*t that comes with your issues.”

I have some kind words of advice for Continental 5 so please read: ILL ADVICE TO CONTINENTAL 5 FROM ILLSEED

Dear Continental 5,

You have quite a situation on your hand, I see. You are “well-known” as 50 Cent’s cousin out in these streets. I’m sure you look like bloody steak to a Great White in the Pacific Ocean. We have to keep you alive, bud. I can only imagine what you are going through. No rapper alive has more beef that 50 Cent and I am sure that his enemies would love to hurt him any way they can.

Here are some tips for you to get these creeps off your back, bro.

Watch what French Montana has to say about next week’s Next 48 Hours:

Pre-order French Montana Excuse My French on iTunes

The “Next 48 Hours” is an original production by AllHipHop.com, JumpOff TV and Tantrum Productions. Directed by Steve Raze.

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.

Check the answer below:

Hot 97′s Summer Jam will take place on June 2nd. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.

Following a tight 30-minute set from RCA/Polo Grounds recording artist A$AP Ferg, which featured tracks like “Kissin’ Pink,” “Persian Wine,” “Choppas On Deck” and his biggest record to date, “Work.” With his man Rocky standing next to him and French Montana peering out from backstage, the fans thought they’d get a taste of the recently released “Work Remix,” yet only got to hear it play out as the Mob walked offstage to chants of “A$AP!”

Then the real fun began as Juicy J brought his blend of psyehcedlic Hip-Hop the set, performing “The Code,” “Only For the Night,” “Show Out,” “We In This B**ch” and “Bandz A Make Her Dance.” Juicy even performed Three 6 Mafia classics like “Stay Fly,” “Sippin On Some Syrup” and “Poppin My Collar.”

Check out some pictures from the show below:

“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.

10). Two of the South’s best, Big Boi and Killer Mike, are on the “Shoes for Running Tour” that is already underway and isn’t set to conclude until mid-July.  It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since Outkast’s last proper studio album.  And while Andre 3000 has ventured into other things, Big Boi released two solo albums- the latter of which he is promoting with his current tour.

9). Just like the album cover suggests, Mac Miller has said that his new album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, is very personal.  He even told Hot 97 that he has pushed back the collaboration project with Pharrell, Pink Slime, in order to build his own brand.  But fans who have been eagerly awaiting that will get a little something to tide them over on Miller’s upcoming LP.  One of the confirmed tracks, “Objects in the Mirror,” is produced by Skateboard P.

8). Although there is no official release date, Game recently released a tweet letting the world know that his Operation Kill Everything mixtape is coming soon.  After Jesus Piece received a positive response in late 2012, this new project is a great way to keep his momentum going and introduce material under newly-formed Rolex Records, a company the former G-Unit member formed with Atlanta rapper Stat Quo.

7). Summer sequels aren’t just limited to movies.  After the success of last year’s “Under the Influence Tour”, Wiz Khalifa is still smoking a year later with a follow-up to the aforementioned outing.  On this go round though, he is touring with A$AP Rocky instead of Mac Miller.  The tour has 20 stops and begins on July 7 in San Francisco, CA, and ends on August 11 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

6). On “Cole Summer,” J. Cole rhymes, “And I told my fellas, I dropped “Friday Night Lights” in the winter just to make her jealous/ Wanted to drop the album in the summer, but the label didn’t think that they could sell it/Recoup the first week, I think it ain’t s**t they can tell us.”  Not only that, the album debuted at #1, went gold, and was critically acclaimed.  Now he gets to drop in the summer with Born Sinner, set for release on June 25th.

5). LL Cool J has made some unfavorable musical choices lately such as “Ratchet” and “Accidental Racist,” but hopefully his “Kings of the Mic Tour” can help make up for it.  Accompanying LL on this 25-date tour are fellow Hip-Hop legends Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and De La Soul.  This is an outstanding ensemble of Hip-Hop’s elder statesmen and all of them are known for great live performances.

4). Historically, Hot 97’s Summer Jam has had some major moments.  Remember when Jay-Z put up pictures of Prodigy in a leotard?  Or when The Game beat up the giant rat that was presumably 50 Cent?  With the 20th anniversary of the Hip-Hop festival taking place in June, some big surprises are bound to be in store for all those in attendance at Met Life Life stadium.  Not to mentioned, big names like Kendrick Lamar, the Wu-Tang Clan, Chris Brown, and 2 Chainz have already been announced as part of the lineup.

3). Who would have ever thought that a blonde-haired blue-eyed teeny bopper and a rapper from Marcy Projects would tour with each other as “Legends of the Summer?”  Nevertheless, after each reaching the pinnacle of success in their respective genre, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z decided to hit the road together and perform their music for the masses.  And even with Kid Rock being critical of the high ticket price, the shows will undoubtedly be packed with people ranging from those too young to remember NSYNC to the ones who saw Jay-Z tour with Big Daddy Kane, and all ages in between.

2). “We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013,” Paul Rosenberg, president of Shady Records told Billboard magazine.  “It’s safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we’re not exactly sure when.”  Local Detroit station 95.5 even said it could drop on July 2nd.  If that’s the case, one of the biggest rappers could provide help provide Hip-Hop with one of its biggest summers in recent memory.

1). The speculative release date , June 18th, announced via Kanye West’s Twitter account, had the Internet going crazy.  Now, the album just has to live up to the hype.  Fortunately, Mr. West has always delivered quality material and he is never short on confidence.  And with a wide of range of artists said to have recorded new material with Kanye (Skrillex, Daft Punk, Odd Future, Chief Keef), his new album has the potential to take Hip-Hop into uncharted territory…again.

Prior to the spoof debuting, Diddy trolled the world by sending out a tweet claiming he was a new cast member on the actual Downton Abbey.

MY BIG NEWS: So happy to announce that Im a series regular on DOWNTON ABBEY-my favorite show+i’ll be debuting a sneak peek tonight 12am PST!

Watch Funny or Die’s “Downton Diddy” skit below.

Now, they are using the word “allegedly” with regard to his death.

Here is the story on it, via wreg.com.

(Southaven, MS) A woman who was swindled by a famous rapper says ‘Tim Dog’ may be up to his biggest scam yet.
The rapper reportedly died in February, but the Mid-South woman he scammed believes the con man may have faked his own death.
Timothy Blair, more commonly known as Tim Dog, owes her money.
When he was reported dead, she says, all the payments stopped.
He got famous in the 90s for his song about Compton, but Tim Dog’s lasting legacy, in Esther Pilgrim’s mind, will be something else, “He really thinks he can outsmart everybody.”
She says the rapper swindled her out $32,000, “A fictitious business deal.”
She’s not the only one who says Tim Dog is a con man.
“Twenty victims have contacted me personally from around the world,” she said.
In 2011, a Mississippi judge ordered Blair to pay her back, “One hundred dollars per month.”
Esther says she received those payments up until she got the phone call that Tim Dog was dead.
In February, media outlets, including Rolling Stone, reported the 46-year-old rapper died from complications of diabetes.
Esther says at first, she believed it like everybody else.
Then she did some digging, “There was nothing of what you would normally find.  What city? Who found him? There was nothing with any type of concrete details.”
She even had a friend go down to Atlanta this week, where he allegedly died, to find his death certificate, “They weren’t able to find any record of his death.”
In fact, News Channel 3 used private investigator Andy Wilson who said he couldn’t find a death record for Timothy Blair either.
Esther says Tim Dog owes upwards of $2 million to people around the world and she believes his own death might be just be his biggest con yet, “Oh, I think there is a great chance that he’s alive.”
A private investigator has also confirmed an active address for Blair in Atlanta as of April.
Blair has allegedly been dead since February 14th.

THIS IS CONFUSING!

I don’t want Tim Dog dead, but I also don’t want him faking his death!
