Hip Hop legend Carlton Douglas “Chuck D” Ridenhour is best known as the lead rapper of the iconic Public Enemy. Chuck D is also a visual artist.

Genesis Publications announced the first official book of Chuck D’s artwork. The New York native created images of his musical inspirations such as Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, and the Beastie Boys.

Chuck D also offers readers his thought process as well as anecdotes about his one-of-a-kind pieces of art. He also provides social commentary with political cartoons.

“In a digital era where people are listening with their eyes, I think we’re seeing the elements of sight, sound, story, and style finally coming together in a way that I’ve been about my entire life,” says Chuck D. “I was raised with an artist’s mentality; my first 25 years were spent as somebody who wanted to live among graphics and artwork and illustration, and then for the next 30 years it was all music.”

The 61-year-old lyricist continues, “In the last six years, I’ve reverted back into the arts, combining all of these elements in my work, still trying to change the world. This is truly what I want to do. My deepest thanks to Genesis for giving me a place to be able to display all of this through my artwork.”

During a recent appearance on Adam 22’s “No Jumper” podcast, the controversial media personality was asked his thoughts on Rory and Mal’s new deal with Stitcher. Particularly as Akademiks has not held back with his critique of the pair in the past. “Even though you was talking s### about Rory and Mal, do you think they trying to s### on you right now?”

Not answering the question directly, Ak responded, “We just did ‘Off the Record Podcast’ on Spotify – exclusive with Van Lathan,” he said, referring to his podcast.   

“I’m a student of the game.” Akademiks continued, still ignoring the question. “When I comment on anybody…there’s nothing that I need to comment on, it’s obvious. But I still entertain it because it’s a passion in me.”

Finally addressing the issue at hand, he asked, “Do you think anything the two stooges could do in business anywhere could s### on anything I’ve got going on?” He continued, “If you legitimately look at it on a fair even-keeled level? 

Adam 22 said although he had no idea how much Rory and Mal are making, the comparison with Ak is unfair because he’s been grinding a lot longer. However, he conceded, “What they have accomplished on their own independent of Joe in like the last six months is pretty f###### unreal. Are they on your level? I would say no.” 

When asked if he believes the duo got the rumored $10 million for their deal he said, “If they got $10 million, I got 30,” he said.  

Ak then revealed the players who are really paying out in the podcast game right now. He said Spotify is the most committed and claimed to have walked away from a bigger deal to sign with them.

Alicia Keys Was Unaware Lil Mama Crashed The Stage At 2009 VMAs

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

When Lil Mama crashed the stage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards the viewing audience cringed in unison. It turns out that Alicia Keys doesn’t quite see it the same way. In fact, at the time, she didn’t even see Lil Mama on stage at all! 

It is one of the most memorable moments in the annals of Hip-Hop history. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were performing their classic New York anthem, “Empire State of Mind,” at the awards ceremony. They were killing their set until, out of nowhere, Lil Mama danced her way onto the stage head nodding vigorously at Jay-Z. Hov looked shocked but ever the professional kept to “the show must go on” rules, while attempting to ignore the stage invasion. Undeterred, Lil Mama remained on stage even cozying up to the pair for their final pose.  

The aftermath was savage for Lil Mama who has spoken publicly about the incident several times. She attempted to reach out to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys to apologize but neither of them has responded.   

Lil Mama Speaks

“I entered the industry as a teenage Black girl from Brooklyn & Harlem NY. These situations are with mature adults at least 10 years my senior. I reached out in private to create an opportunity for communication and clarity.” She added, “Continuously misrepresenting my brand in public won’t be tolerated.” 

Jay-Z’s Response

Jay-Z addressed it shortly after it happened on Angie Martinez’s Hot 97 radio show back in 2009. “To interrupt that moment for us, I don’t think that was the right thing to do. It was a lot of planning that went into that performance. To disrupt that was outta line.” He went on to say though it angered him, there wasn’t much he could do about it. “What I’mma do, fight Lil Mama?” He rhetorically asked.   

Alicia Keys Says She Didn’t Even See Her!

On a recent appearance on “The Morning Hustle” Alicia Keys was asked if she forgave Lil Mama.  

“Of course, of course. Listen, to this day, I truly never knew she was even on the stage,” she admitted. “That’s the craziest part of the whole thing for me. I was on that stage, Jay was in the middle, she was on the other side of Jay, and I never saw her. Never. So, that was wild to me.”  

“But I absolutely…it’s not even a statement. That was then,” she continued. “You know, she’s from New York, too. You know, I think she really felt the energy of the record and she loved it and she couldn’t hold herself back. Look, this is what my music does to people. What can we say?”

50 Cent Warns HBO & Showtime “They Be Sleeping On Me”

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

50 Cent’s real-life-inspired series’ “BMF” looks set to continue the media mogul’s remarkably successful run in television. Together with the show “Power” which aired for 6 seasons and the new series, “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” plus many other “Power” spin-offs, Fiddy is proof that you can be successful outside of the standard Hollywood format.  

Starz admittedly owes a lot of its success to 50 Cent and his productions. CEO of the parent company of Starz, Jon Feltheimer acknowledged that “Raising Kanan” helped bring nearly 1M subscribers to the network within its first week. Power’s showrunner Courtney A. Kemp told Variety, “There’s no version of Power working without our partnership. He has always been a great producer.”  

However, 50 Cent does not believe he’s receiving the credit he deserves. He took to Instagram to share a post by journalist Danny Gold:  

“Maybe an interesting article to write would be how @50 Cent has single handedly brought Starz a bunch of successful shows that regularly outperform big HBO and Showtime shows.” He continued, referring to two of the characters from HBO’s “Succession,” “Tho tbh I would also read yet another article about Tom and Gregg’s chemistry.” 

50 responded: “See they be sleeping on me, but we know what time it is @dgold101 Green Light Gang.”

50 Cent Knows His Power!

Last month, in an interview with CNN, 50 Cent said that he’s known for a long time that networks are lacking the type of content he offers with shows like “Power” and “BMF.” He said that his show’s diversity is what gives him the edge.  

“When they start to say diversity, when you see these projects hit the bullseye and its targeted audience is watching… like when Power went number one with African Americans and Latinos and the universe continues that success, it says you don’t have to have that cookie-cutter mentality that Hollywood has had,” he told CNN. “It’s exciting because things are shifting and changing,” he added. “By the time they see what I did here with BMF, [Hollywood] will be impressed. I’ve got the cheat code.” 

Season 2 of “Power Book II: Ghost” premieres on Sunday, November 21 at 8 pm ET. Watch the trailer below.

Jack Harlow has invested in The Plug Drink.

Ray and Justin Kim’s recovery beverage company secured $1.5 million in funding with the help of investors such as Jack Harlow. Other notable backers of the plant-based drink include Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner and Cleveland Browns cornerback Troy Hill.

“The Plug is a true disruptor in the functional recovery beverage space,” Jack Harlow’s manager Chris Thomas said in a press release. “After getting to know the founders, Ray and Justin, we’ve become strong believers in what they’re building, and it’s one of the main reasons why Jack and I decided to invest in this seed round.”

He added, “The Plug is the first to capture both the hydration and the herbal supplement markets. Very impressive to see how quickly they’ve grown in just a year, and can’t wait to see The Plug skyrocket next year!”

“We are thrilled to have Jack Harlow as our latest investor,” Ray and Justin Kim said. “His professional career, work ethic, and vision truly resonate with our spirit and mission at The Plug. This is an exciting time to be in the functional beverage space as there’s been a lack of truly plant-based recovery products with delicious taste and efficacy. We’re confident The Plug will play a key role in driving the overall health and wellness trend in the broader consumer market.”

Jack Harlow’s latest business move comes on the heels of him scoring his first No. 1 hit. “Industry Baby,” his collaborative single with Lil Nas X, reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 on the chart dated October 23, 2021.

Ray J Seeking Joint Custody Of Kids With Princess Love As Divorce War Heats Up

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Ray J is seeking joint physical and legal custody of his children in his divorce from Princess Love.

The singer and TV personality filed for divorce from his wife for the third time while in hospital earlier this month as he battled pneumonia.

According to the divorce petition, Ray is requesting that he and Princess share custody of their two children, three-year-old Melody and 21-month-old Epik.

The documents, obtained by TMZ, also see Ray list irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, while he denied the court the ability to award either he or Princess spousal support – presumably due to the fact that the former couple signed a prenuptial agreement before they wed.

Ray J is back home after battling pneumonia in a Miami, Florida hospital. The singer and TV personality was discharged and is continuing his recovery at home.

He has also stopped using an inhaler and isn’t on oxygen anymore.

Ray J was admitted to the hospital earlier this month and was so ill doctors initially assumed he had contracted COVID-19.

He tested negative for the virus and was eventually moved out of the hospital’s COVID wing. While he was in the hospital last week, Ray filed to divorce his wife Princess Love for the third time.

Transgender Employees Faceoff Against Anti-Transgender Protesters At Netflix Over Dave Chappelle Special

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: Uncategorized

Members of Netflix’s employee resource group Trans* staged a walkout in protest of Dave Chappelle’s special The Closer on Wednesday.

Transgender employees and allies left Netflix’s Hollywood office in response to the streaming service’s handling of the Dave Chappelle controversy. Staff working remotely engaged in a “virtual walkout” as well.

Hundreds gathered at a solidarity rally, which was organized by transgender activist Ashlee Marie Preston. Former Netflix employee B. Pagels-Minor, who was recently fired over a data leak, spoke at the event.

“As most of you know, I’m 33 weeks pregnant,” Pagels-Minor said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “And when I thought about why I was participating in, it’s that my son does not grow up with content that hates me. I want my child to grow up in a world where they see that their parent, a Black trans person — because I exist, contrary to what the special says, contrary to what many people say — that I am valued and I am an important person as well.”

Celebrities such as Jameela Jamil and Colton Haynes showed their support for the Netflix walkout in a video. Actor Elliot Page and comedian Billy Eichner were among the notable names backing the protest on social media.

Dave Chappelle proponents and anti-transgender protesters also appeared at the rally. Gigi Laroux, who claimed to be a supporter of comedy, was among those in attendance.

“We are protesting this walkout,” she told Variety. They have the right to do it, but we have the right to stand up for Dave Chappelle and his freedom of expression. This boils down to equality, and if people want equality they to be put on the same level as anybody else. Comedians are equal opportunity destroyers.”

The anti-trans contingent included a woman who refused to be identified when interviewed by Reuters.

“The transgender cult kidnapped two of my children and transformed their bodies in ways they can’t change, and I’m damn angry about it,” she said. “I have children, and children are being put on a one-way path to permanent body destruction through the transgender ideology.”

Dave Chappelle’s The Closer has faced backlash for being transphobic. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos initially defended the special but has since claimed he “screwed up” in his response to employee concerns.

An In-Depth Look Into the Journey of Music’s Rising Star Seno

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Music
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Stefan Morales, or Seno as he is popularly known, is one of the fast-rising music talents in the country. Seno is a talented recording artist and songwriter, gradually cementing his position in the music scene. The Florida boy is taking over the industry by storm with his smooth vocals that perfectly blend any beats he lands on. Many music enthusiasts are thrilled by Seno’s extensive style of music that is unique and identical to him.

Some may recognize him as a rapper as that’s the sound he started out within his music career, but he has since dropped it to focus on making more melodic music. It was a tough challenge, but Seno has since grown to become an even better version of himself as a singer. 

The young, gifted music talent has been featured in various articles, publications, and platforms, including Hulu for a brief moment. Early into his music career, Seno performed on some of the best global stages. He made a mark in the music scene with his debut album, Stories From the Back, which he dropped in 2016. The album did exceptionally well, gaining traction in the industry. 

Unfortunately, Seno was arrested immediately after releasing the album for allegedly discharging a firearm in a public place. He was held for a year in county jail and spent four years on probation. This was a major setback for Seno just when his music career seemed to have picked up. It was a disappointment to him, his family, and his fanbase, who were looking forward to his next release. 

“With me never being to jail before and facing 25 to life really put me at a standstill with music, I was an emotional wreck,” says Seno.

Seno has since bounced back, and he is working on several projects. It’s been a while since the sensational singer dropped a track, but he promises his fans that more incredible things are coming soon. According to him, he is sitting on a lot of unreleased music that he promises will shake up the industry soon. 

His advice to anyone out there is that you need to do whatever it takes to follow your dreams. Seno believes that some people will doubt or discourage you, especially during tough times, but you should not give up on your dreams when that happens.

“The number of times people told us to stop what we were doing because we would never ever make it or make enough noise for anyone to hear or listen, those are the same people that keep reaching out now to hook up or find out when the next Backhouse party is,” adds Seno.

Seno’s dream is to grow his music brand to the international stage and hopefully go global. He envisions himself performing on one of the world’s biggest stages in front of thousands of fans. It’s also part of his goal to influence and motivate other people around him to find success. His vision is to see all his close friends succeed, as that’s the most significant gift for any friendship.

Common & Chance The Rapper Advocate For Parole Reform In Illinois

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: Uncategorized

Common and Chance The Rapper are seeking parole reform in Illinois.

Both rappers are pushing for change in their home state, which doesn’t have discretionary parole. The two spoke alongside activists from the nonprofit Parole Illinois at a press conference outside Cook County Jail on Wednesday.

Common and Chance The Rapper are specifically advocating for Senate Bill 2333 to be passed by Illinois legislators. The bill would amend state law to allow people to be eligible for parole after serving at least 20 years behind bars.

“SB 2333 is a necessary policy that will begin to correct the harms of long-term incarceration in this state and putting an end to negative impacts that incarceration has on our community, family members and the loved ones of those who are incarcerated,” Chance The Rapper said, according to Block Club Chicago. “We need a criminal justice system that reflects the values we want to see in this world.”

He added, “We need to start pushing and transforming our criminal justice system in sentencing laws. With this reality in mind, that means pushing for policies like parole.”

At the presser, Common shared a story about reconnecting with someone from his youth who was serving a life sentence. The veteran rapper mentioned the man as an example of why parole is needed in Illinois.

“He said … ’It’s people like me that are dealing with mental sickness and dealing with mental pain that can change and transform,’” Common recalled. “It really struck me because I knew this brother, and I knew what he used to be. I knew who he was then. I’ve met some of the most enlightened and inspiring people in prison.

Illinois legislators are expected to vote on Senate Bill 2333 in the next two weeks. If Common and Chance The Rapper get their wish, the state will have discretionary parole for the first time since 1978.

Wu-Tang’s One-Of-A-Kind Album Sold Off To Investment Collective

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

After months of speculation, the person that purchased the Wu-Tang Clan’s *Once Upon a Time in Shaolin *album from the government is revealed.

The feds sold the project for a whopping $4 million. The New York Times says that the buyer, who paid that seven figures, is a private investment collective called PleasrDAO.

They received the album on September 10th and have kept it sealed away in a vault. The location of the vault is unknown and is listed as “somewhere in New York City.”

“I am one lucky ol’ dirty bastard to have heard the album first hand. I may have been biased, and my adrenaline was certainly pumping, but what I heard on that album was phenomenal. Lyrically it’s Wu-Tang Clan at their best and very reminiscent of their early albums coupled with a production quality that sounded like it was recorded yesterday,” gushed Jamis Johnson, “Chief Pleasing Officer.”

As reported by AllHipHop.com, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York sold the album earlier this summer, after seizing the one-of-a-kind musical masterpiece from Martin Shkreli, the crooked pharmaceutical CEO who sought to defraud millions with a series of unscrupulous business deals.

Shkreli himself purchased the project in 2015 for $2 million.

When he was convicted of fraud and sentenced to seven years in prison, the government took a total of $7.36 million of his assets in a forfeiture order, which included Once Upon a Time in Shaolin in 2018.

What a sigh of relief, as many (including members of the original Wu-Tang Clan) were furious that Shkreli was the one that purchased the album!

Now in the hands of PleasrDAO, the exclusive offering may be available to the public. Currently, they are working with RZA and producer Cilvaringz to get permission to sell the project.

Who’s up to enter the 36 Chambers…again?

Lil Yachty done went and had himself an even littler boat.

The Quality Control rapper recently welcomed his first child. And despite him being Southern-grown, his little girl was born a few weeks ago in New York City.

According to TMZ, who dropped the news, there is not a lot of information about his daughter or her mother, but we are sure that the new dad is on cloud nine.

Cloud nine or not, business is still going on.

His social media accounts show that he is not only in the studio, but shopping for beats. He tweeted on October 16th that producers should drop their beats in the comments. He said, “Drop yo beat snippets under this tweet,” to which hundreds flocked to submit tracks.

After listening to some submissions, Boat couldn’t help himself and responded saying, “Bra I hope y’all n##### don’t quit yall day job c##….”

Afterward, he took to Instagram to announce his new song titled, “Believing.”

“New song “Believing” on the @Pokemon #Pokemon25 album – listen NOW Link in bio”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDziqtgSrv/

The song is off Pokémon 25: The Album, which also features Post Malone, Tierra Whack, Katy Perry, Vince Staples, and J Balvin.

In September, after his involvement was announced, he said, “I’ve always been a huge Pokémon fan and I jumped at the opportunity to be on the album. I love the record I did for it called ‘Believing’ and I hope it inspires my fans to chase their dreams.”

Now, we are sure he will also inspire his new daughter to chase her dreams too!

Disgraced GRAMMY Award-winning producer and singer R. Kelly’s child pornography and obstruction of justice trial has been set.

The trial will be held in Chicago, and he will be tried in a little over a year, in August 2022. According to Fox News, next summer will be as hot as this one was for the R&B singer.

On August 1, the man who was recently convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering will appear in U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber’s courtroom.

He wanted to start the case earlier, but since Kelly will be on trial for some other cases in July, the judge opted for later.

The Chicago native’s lawyers shared with Leinenweber that they believe that the trial that includes the 54-year-old and co-defendants Derrell McDavid and Milton “June” Brown could last between three to four weeks.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was recently tried and convicted in a Brooklyn federal court for bringing young ladies across state lines to fulfill his outlandish sexual fantasies.

During the trial, documented by video and audio evidence, it was revealed that he sexually and physically assaulted both teen girls and boys. He will be sentenced on May 4 and may spend the rest of his life in prison.

Currently, he is facing four different alleged sexual abuse allegations in Chicago. He also is facing in Minnesota a child prostitution charge.

Big Sean stopped by Los Angeles radio station Power 106 and displayed his lyrical prowess in a new L.A. Leakers freestyle.

The Def Jam artist rapped for almost nine minutes, delivering a flurry of bars over multiple beats. Big Sean began by spitting on Jay-Z’s “Dear Summer” and quickly established the tone a decade after he last freestyled for the L.A. Leakers.

“I stopped hoping for the best now I’m demanding it work/I handle my dirt if good karma don’t land on it first/Relentless how I give it all but never give in/Just like NBA players in my girl’s DMs/Steady shooting shots that’ll never go in/F### it, I’m focused on making money we nevеr gon’ spend/My whole life is likе my blessings queued right on schedule/I still hate seafood but love the oyster perpetual,” he rapped.

The L.A. Leakers switched things up about two minutes in, having Big Sean tackle Drake’s “Love All” instrumental. A few minutes later, Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk flipped the script again with Kanye West’s “Hurricane” beat.

“Everything I know now could’ve been added to then/Nothing better than having it all, except having it all losing it all then getting it back again/No writing on the wall but I still know how to read a room/I don’t need a casket when I die, I need a tomb/My focus back active, now I’m getting consumed/Yeah I’m awake with the moon/Mother Nature so when I die and I’m buried, what that mean? I’m going back in the womb,” Sean Don rapped over the Yeezy cut.

The freestyle capped off with Big Sean rhyming over Florida-bred rapper Nardo Wick’s “Who Want Smoke?” instrumental. The change in pace didn’t phase the Detroit rhymer as he adjusted his flow and continued unleashing bars.

YouTube Deletes J Balvin’s Video For “Perra” Over Portrayal Of Black Women

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

J Balvin’s latest video has been removed from YouTube amid backlash over its depiction of Black women.

In the video for “Perra” – Balvin’s collaboration with Tokischa – the rapper is seen walking two Black women, whose faces have been made to look like dogs, on leashes.

Meanwhile, Tokischa is seen on all fours as she poses inside a doghouse.

While the video – directed by Raymi Paulus – was taken down on Sunday, neither Balvin nor Tokischa have responded to the criticism, which included a joint statement from Colombian Vice President Marta Lucia Ramirez and Gheidy Gallo Santos, Presidential Counselor for Women’s Equality.

The pair told the Los Angeles Times that Balvin “uses images of women and people of African descent — a population group with special constitutional protection — to whom he presents with dog ears. In addition, while walking, the singer carries two Afro-descendant women tied with neck chains and crawling on the floor like animals or slaves.”

The video has seen Balvin accused of misogynoir – misogyny directed towards Black women where their race and gender play roles in bias.

In the wake of the backlash, Paulus, who is also Tokischa’s manager, has deleted his Instagram account – which formerly boasted more than 74,000 followers.

Kim Kardashian has given Ye $3 million for the contents of their home.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star has agreed to buy the Los Angeles abode from her estranged husband, with $20 million – the same as the original outlay on the property – going to Ye for the building and the additional sum for “all finishings, furniture, fixtures, appliances’ collectibles, silver and art currently located in said Residence.”

According to documents filed to the Los Angeles Superior Court last week, the house was appraised by an independent expert in June 2020.

Kim and Ye – who have children North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and two-year-old Psalm together – bought the house in 2014 and worked extensively with architect Axel Vervoordt to create their dream, all-white, family home.

After living with the 40-year-old beauty’s mom, Kris Jenner, during the renovations, the family finally moved into the property in December 2017.

Four months later, Kris revealed the value of the abode had skyrocketed from the $20 million the pair had paid for it to a staggering $60 million.

Despite the purchase, Ye – won’t be left homeless. Last month, it was claimed he’d splashed out 57 million on a beachfront property in Malibu.

The 44-year-old rapper has also put his ranch in Cody, Wyoming, up for sale for $11 million.
