On November 12, 2021, the Universal Hip Hop Museum and AllHipHop.com are set to celebrate Hip Hop History Month by highlighting Afghani B-Girl Manizha Talash and a jam with The Notorious B.I.G., Keith Murray, Gravediggaz, and M.O.P.

Despite being under 20 years old, Manizha Talash deserves to be saluted because in the face of great danger, she practices Hip-Hop as a form of survival, joyful resistance, and defiance. The young woman is the first female breakdancer in  Afghanistan. It is not only illegal to dance in Afghanistan (in 2012 people were beheaded for getting their groove on), but also it is considered against God’s will for a woman to do so. She has received death threats for her dancing. Despite this, she still clings to her goal to one day dance competitively in the Olympics.

On Saturday, November 12, 1994, The Notorious B.I.G, Keith Murray, Gravediggaz, and M.O.P. performed at the Newark Symphony Hall in New Jersey. Just a few months earlier, on September 13, Biggie released his debut album “Ready to Die.” The classic album would be ranked by many critics as one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums of all time. Biggie wasn’t the only star at the time. The world was mesmerized by the Def Squad member Keith Murray’s mythological, comical lyrics, M.O.P.’s exciting performances, and the supergroup Gravediggaz that consisted of which brought together Prince Paul from Stetsasonic and De La Soul fame (The Undertaker), Frukwan from Stetsasonic (The Gatekeeper), Too Poetic (The Grym Reaper) and the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA (The RZArector).

Nick Cannon May Not Be Done Making Babies After All

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Nick Cannon has hinted he wants more children.

Nick – who has 10-year-old Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, Golden, four, and Powerful Queen, 10 months, with Brittany Bell, Zion and Zillion, four months, with Abby De La Rosa, and Zen, also four months, with Alyssa Scott.

He recently pledged to stay celibate for some time, but now he’s open to the idea of fathering more kids.

Playing Plead the Fifth with Andy Cohen on “The Nick Cannon Show,” the “Watch What Happens Live” host asked Nick who his “favorite baby mama” is.

Rather than refusing to answer, Nick laughed and said: “I got this. I ain’t scared of you, Andy.

“My favorite baby mama is… the next one!”

But that doesn’t mean the star is looking for another woman to procreate with, as he insisted one of his “past baby mamas could still be (his) next one.”

He added: “That’s all I’m saying!”

Nick’s comment came just days after he seemingly volunteered to father children with Saweetie.

She had tweeted: “I want some babies.”

In response, Nick commented with a thinking face, ninja, rolling on the floor laughing and man raising one hand emojis.

42 Dugg Vows To Be “Upright Citizen” After Avoiding Prison In Gun Case

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

42 Dugg won’t spend any time in prison for illegally possessing a firearm.

According to The Detroit News, 42 Dugg was sentenced to three years of probation and fined $90,000 after pleading guilty to a weapons charge. His conviction stemmed from an incident in which he illegally possessed a 9mm Glock at a gun range in November 2019.

The Detroit native, whose real name is Dion Hayes, was facing up to 10 years in prison. He’s unable to possess a gun due to past convictions for carjacking and felony firearms possession.

“His conviction in this case clearly indicates that he has not lived a perfect life and has made mistakes along the way,” 42 Dugg’s lawyers wrote in a sentencing memorandum. “Dion admits his wrongdoing and acknowledges that he is not perfect. He is still a young man with many lessons to be learned in life.”

42 Dugg’s attorneys also noted their client wanted to become an “upright citizen.” They cited his desire to give back to his hometown as an example of his reformed ways.

“Dion dreams of using his success to impact the kids of Detroit — those who, like him, were incarcerated or had incarcerated parents,” his lawyers wrote. “Dion muses about buying a local skating rink and creating a gathering spot for young people, or of holding music writing classes at juvenile detention centers so that young people who are on the wrong path can find something positive to put their energy into.”

42 Dugg is signed to a joint deal with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group and Lil Baby’s 4PF. His latest mixtape, Free Dem Boyz, was released in May. A deluxe edition of the project dropped in August.

DaBaby released a new project after dealing with backlash for months.

The Interscope Records artist dropped an EP titled Back On My Baby Jesus Sh!t Again on Friday. The project is a sequel to his 2017 mixtape Back On My Baby Jesus Sh!t.

DaBaby’s EP is his first project since My Brother’s Keeper (Long Live G), which came out in 2020. It’s also his first release since he sparked controversy by making homophobic remarks at Rolling Loud Miami in July.

“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he said at the festival. “Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”

Back On My Baby Jesus Sh!t Again is brief, clocking in with a runtime of 12 minutes. The six-track project features guest appearances by 21 Savage and Kodak Black.

DaBaby’s new EP arrives ahead of his Live Show Killa Tour, which begins on November 26. The controversial rapper has booked shows in 22 cities as part of a tour presented by Rolling Loud.

Rapper Bun B has started to raise money for the victims of Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival tragedy. The UGK member has agreed to donate a portion of proceeds from an event called “Breaking Bread” to give back to the community.

The “Trill” icon took to his Instagram to announce the event.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CWGjLnMLhP3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The event will feature food from Trill Burgers, Eatsie Boys, Blk MkT birria, Seoulside Wings, OhMyGogi!, Happy Endings, The Waffle Bus, Sticky’s Chicken, and others on Sunday, November 14th, from 1 p.m. – 8 p.m. at the 8th Wonder Brewery’s one-acre WorldWorld backyard in east downtown.

Interestingly, a good deal of the businesses participating in the “Int’l Players Anthem (I Choose You)” rapper’s event are vendors from the Astroworld festival.

After the unfortunate crowd surge, a tragic occurrence that has left nine people dead and hundreds hospitalized, the food trucks were left with a surplus of perishable food.

Breaking Bread will help them get rid of the food to raise money for the doctor bills and other expenses for those victims and their families in need.

People, who are not interested in purchasing meals, can also donate. Organizers of the event have stated that a series of verified GoFundMe accounts have been launched for the victims.

In addition to helping out others, Bun B has dropped new music. His song “All Time High” with Spottie WiFi is now available on all streaming platforms and will drop as an NFT on 11/15 at SpottieWiFi.com.

Here Comes The Damage Control: Amid Reports Of The Ninth Death At Astroworld, Travis Scott Insists He ‘Didn’t Know’ What Went On

By: Bernadette Giacomazzo Updated Category: Rumors

Travis Scott is changing his Astroworld story more than his dusty fans are changing their underwear.

First, he claims he didn’t know what went on at Astroworld. Then, he claimed that he went to Dave & Busters with his baby mama, Kylie Jenner, after the festival. Then he got on Instagram and gave the performance of his life, where he couldn’t even muster tears for the dead. Now, his legal team is back to claiming that Travis Scott didn’t know what went on at Astroworld.

You know, either he has the most incompetent legal team in California history, or he’s the biggest jackass in the hip-hop industry today. (Why not both?, you ask, and you’d be right.) When there’s an active investigation, the smart thing to do is keep your damn mouth shut. In this case, this “gangsta” is snitching on himself. What in the New Jack Struggle is this?

Anyway, Travis Scott’s aforementioned lawyer, Ed McPherson was on Good Morning America today, saying there’s still a lot to do in investigating exactly what went wrong last week, but he insists his client was in the dark, according to TMZ.

Meanwhile, as Travis Scott sweats more than a defendant in a child abduction case, a ninth victim of the Astroworld tragedy has succumbed to her injuries. 22-year-old Bharti Shahani was trampled in the melee, suffered several heart attacks, and was declared brain dead. She died on Thursday.

In a just world, we’d be remembering the victims and letting that clown Travis Scott fade into obscurity as he deserves. But, we’re in this one, so we’ll get a stream of comments from white-knighting fans, groupies who may or may not have sucked his d*ck, and hoteps who swear that this is part of some massive conspiracy to take him down because he planned to buy Apple TV or some sh*t.

Lala Anthony Had Emergency Heart Surgery

By: Bernadette Giacomazzo Updated Category: Rumors

Lala Anthony had to have emergency heart surgery.

The MTV VJ-turned-Power actress recently revealed in a Self Magazine cover story that she was diagnosed with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in 2019. And in June of 2021, she had heart murmurs that were so disruptive that it caused her to pass out.

“I felt my heart racing all the time, but because it’s all I ever really knew, I didn’t even know that it was necessarily something wrong,” Lala Anthony, 39, told the magazine. “I just thought, ‘Oh, you just feel your heart racing sometimes because you’re working too much, you haven’t slept, you’re stressed.’”

Initially, she said, she was content with “self-diagnosing.” But when the problems became too severe to ignore, she rushed herself to the doctor. (For reference, folks: please don’t do that. If something doesn’t feel right, please go to the doctor.)

“I started feeling it even more — like this fluttering and this racing all the time,” Lala Anthony recalled. “I was like, ‘What is going on?’”

At that point, the doctors realized that her heart was beating at a rate that was 25 percent faster than the average person’s. The doctor prescribed her medication, but she didn’t take it because she said it made her feel dizzy. (Again, for reference: folks, please don’t do that. If a medicine doesn’t make you feel right, talk to your doctor and figure out a plan together.)

Ultimately, she got a catheter put in her heart through her groin area, and now, she goes for checkups every other month.

For what it’s worth: the same month that she had her emergency surgery, Lala Anthony filed for divorce from Carmelo Anthony.

Will Smith Said His Mom Walked On Him Having ‘Doggy-Style’ S*x

At this point, most men know more about what Will Smith is (or isn’t) doing with his d*ck than they know what they’re doing with their own.

But, whatever. The TMI tour continues!

Will Smith released more passages from his self-titled memoir, which is out in stores now. In it, he speaks candidly about his first love, Melanie Parker.

He was so in love with her, in fact, that he couldn’t help himself and had freaky, nasty s*x with her on his mother’s kitchen floor. Doggy-style, folks, in case you were wondering (I wasn’t, but here we are).

And the way he described his mother walking in on him bent over his girlfriend while she’s on all fours is something straight out of a Jackie Collins novel.

And wearing slippers far too quiet to defend her delicate sensibilities, she approached the threshold of the family kitchen,” Will Smith wrote. “Still innocent, she flipped the light switch as she had done tens of thousands of times before. But this time, her eyes landed upon her eldest son and his girlfriend deep in throes of reckless lovemaking. As a teenager, outside of physical injury, you cannot feel worse than having your mother catch you and your girlfriend doggy-style on her kitchen floor.”

Well. Alright then.

Rapper Lil Nas X is set to make a surprise appearance on an upcoming episode of the “Maury” show to clear up claims his dancer ex is married – and possibly a father.

In a teaser for next week’s episode, titled “Leave Your Wife For Me…That’s What I Want!” Lil Nas X confronts his ex, Yai Ariza, over his relationship status.

“Montero (aka Lil Nas X) found the love of his life, but was shocked to discover Yai was married… with a child! Is Yai the dad?” show host Maury Povich says in the teaser, showing off an alleged family photo of Yai and the child rumored to be his.

“Me and Yai have been together for a month and a half,” Lil Nas X tells his ex’s reported wife, who responds, “You’re a liar!”

During the taped clip, the woman shreds a rose bouquet gift Nas X tries to give to Yai, and it appears the dancer presents the rap star with a commitment ring.

The trailer for next Wednesday’s (November 17th) show ends with Maury about to present a paternity test, which will determine whether or not Yai is the biological father of four-year-old Noah.

Lil Nas X recently revealed he is single after breaking up with an ex, believed to be Yai. He told Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live, “I was seeing someone. I kind of decided I didn’t want to anymore.”

The franchise will also immediately offer eight different flavors, including “Un Un Un Believable Buffalo,” “Don’t Quit Nashville Hot,” “You Loyal! Lemon Pepper,” “Honey! Honey!

Ludacris is spearheading a new Rap-based Netflix animated series inspired by his daughter, Karma.  

“Karma’s World” features 10-year-old Karma dealing with issues important to Black children like loving your ‘fro and beautiful skin.  

https://twitter.com/4theculture____/status/1451537722468970507?s=20

“Representation matters and we don’t see enough of it… I hope that this show inspires more people and paves more shows like it… where you get to see this beautiful blackness, our African culture and everything being portrayed on scenes in such a positive light. The way that it should be,” Ludacris said.  

“There is an episode called ‘Hair Comes Trouble’ and a song called ‘Proud of My Hair,’ and Karma actually once went through a situation where girls were touching her hair and she started feeling a little self-doubt.  We had to remind her that she comes from a lineage of beautiful people with beautiful hair, and it made her appreciate her hair again.” 

Ludacris revealed that his daughter wanted to rap from an early age. He taught her the importance of writing about her own life experience, which led to the idea for the show.  

“How the inspiration behind Karma’s World came about was when my daughter was young, all she wanted to do was rap like her daddy, and I told her if she wanted to do music, she had to talk about what goes on at her age and life — which then birthed the idea of Karma’s World with the music and everything else,” Ludacris says.

He added, “This is the story of dreams to reality 100%, and that’s who I am. As we all grew up, there was something that was a staple of our childhood that helped to form who we are as individuals and things we’ll never forget. There were certain shows that helped build us. Build our confidence, that we looked to as a form of entertainment. But also just to brighten our entire lives up and I think that’s exactly what I want Karma’s World to do for many children and many people in this new generation.”

Earlier this week it was reported that Offset got into a fight while attending ComplexCon this weekend. Footage of the Migos rapper involved in some sort of altercation went viral, but Offset says he wasn’t involved in any fight himself; he was actually stepping in to break one up. 

Offset was unhappy with the talk of him brawling at events he was booked to attend and decided to clear the matter up directly. He spoke to Complex to make it clear he was not directly involved in the fight, despite what is being reported.  

“I wasn’t fighting at ComplexCon. I stepped in to break up a fight caused by a booth’s security,” he said. “The story is false and overshadows why I’m a regular at ComplexCon. I was there to support the culture and emerging brands and designers. I’m focused on that. I’m in a positive space. Appreciate the concern.” 

The footage of the altercation went viral and clearly captured the Atlanta rapper and his entourage in the fight scene. The video shows some men exchanging words before an unnamed man starts throwing hands. Security and other bystanders then attempt to break up the fight.
