The Rock Drops A Boulder On Tyrese!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHip Rumors) The Rock is a throw back to the old days! He comes off like this nice dude, but if ya cross him, damn it, you better be ready for war! The Rock also, I believe, doesn’t like losing and really, REALLY hates when the peanut gallery says stuff if he stumbles. Seems like the peanut gallery these days is one person: Tyrese! I give him credit. Tyrese isn’t scared or intimidated by The Rock. But, that doesn’t mean a lot when The Rock gets on a roll downhill. He might wanna call himself The Boulder!

So, here is what Tyrese said a ways back when Fast & Furious spin off Hobbs & Shaw first came out.

“I have to show my respects for one thing…. He tried…….. Folks called me a hater…. Attacked me for speaking out…..Breaking up the family clearly doesn’t have the value that one would assume it does. 180 million dollar global opening on Hobbs and Shaw is NOT a win,” Gibson wrote later on. “Again my respects cause he tried his best.” – Tyrese

Well, The Rock claps back and he’s got about 1000 pounds of pressure like Big Pun!

Here is what he said…

I am not one to take sides, but I would like Tyrese to leave the whole thing alone! We like seeing The Rock in F&F and now it appears that he may not be because they are not getting along. We know that co-workers ALWAYS clash in any work setting, but this is like you classing with The Boss. The Boss is going to win every time! Does that mean Tyrese is not an asset…clearly not! He is! But The Rock is an institution at this point! The rumor is, he’s going to run for president at some point in time! He can do it too! He’s the NUMBER ONE dude on social media! Bigger than Will Smith! So that’s all I have to say!!!!

Here is the remainder of what made Rock pop off…Hobbs and Shaw won at in the long haul, even when the first week was a bit week.

I don’t like talking s##t about b##ches’ bodies because I remember the struggle, baby. I remember when I had no motherf##king t##ties and I remember when I had a fun-sized ass.”

She captioned the video: “Am I bugging ? Women talk about uplifting each other, but are we really uplifting each other ?”

In the comments section of the clip, the Bodak Yellow star went on to slam those women who leave remarks such as “Don’t go to the ocean or you’re gonna kill all the whales with your motherf**king plastic ass body.”

“If you confident in yourself, you don’t got to be under the next b##ch’s comments talking about her body,” she wrote. “My sister, she natural, she got small t##ties, she got a little cute ass. She ain’t hatin’ on the next b##ch because she know that if she want it, she could get it.”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Lorene Scafaria’s Hustlers does not arrive in theaters until September 13, but the crime drama starring Jennifer Lopez is already receiving critical acclaim. There is even talk that the movie could get love from the Academy Awards.

“I have been hearing it, and people have been telling me – it’s flattering, but I don’t get my hopes up. Call me on the day [of the nominations], let me know,” said Lopez about the Oscar buzz surrounding her portrayal of Ramona in Hustlers.

If the reaction from professional movie critics is any indication, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences could be honoring Hustlers at its 92nd ceremony in February. The film currently has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 80/100 score on Metacritic. 

“Hustlers delivers on its hype while consistently doing the unexpected… Part workplace dramedy, part revenge fantasy, the film weaves together a series of satisfying, organic-feeling turns,” wrote Beandrea July for The Hollywood Reporter.

Variety‘s Peter Debruge reviewed the film as well. He concluded, “Flashy, fleshy and all-around impossible to ignore, Hustlers amounts to nothing less than a cultural moment, inspired by an outrageous New York Magazine profile (which serves as the sturdy six-inch stilettos on which the movie stands) adapted by writer-director Lorene Scafaria at her most Scorsese, and starring Jennifer Lopez like you’re never seen her before.”

Jennifer Lopez and Lorene Scafaria are also credited as producers for Hustlers, along with Jessica Elbaum, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina, Will Ferrell, and Adam McKay. The cast includes Lopez (Selena), Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians), Julia Stiles (Silver Linings Playbook), Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee), Lili Reinhart (Riverdale), Lizzo (UglyDolls), and Cardi B (Being Mary Jane).

Snoop Dogg Talks Getting A Warning Call From The Trump Administration

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Before Donald Trump became one of the least popular modern American presidents and accused of being a white supremacist, the host of The Apprentice was often seen partying with Hip Hop artists. Snoop Dogg even took part in Comedy Central’s roast of Trump in 2011.

The D-O-Double-G went from cracking jokes about The Donald on TV to feuding with the POTUS on the internet. The beef began when Snoop was seen pointing a toy gun at a Trump lookalike in BADBADNOTGOOD’s “Lavender” music video.

Trump fired back on Twitter. He posted, “Can you imagine what the outcry would be if [Snoop Dogg], failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!”

Snoop Dogg has not stopped expressing his issues with the current occupant of the White House. However, the rap legend told DJ Whoo Kid that someone connected to the Trump Administration did contact him after the “Lavender” vid went viral. 

“They tried to come holler at me once upon a time when I made that little video where I popped him in the video,” said Snoop. “They were like, ‘You can’t do that.’ I went, “All right, I won’t do it again.'”

Swae Lee’s Ex-Girlfriend Reportedly Arrested After Headbutting The Rapper

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) For months, Swae Lee and Marliesia Ortiz have found their names in the blogs as the couple publicly went through relationship problems. A new article claims the situation between the Rae Sremmurd rapper and his ex-girlfriend may have gotten violent in August.

TMZ reports:

She allegedly began throwing objects at him. We’re told Ortiz then went on the attack — striking Swae and delivering a headbutt — before his security kicked her out. She actually then called 911 claiming Swae sexually assaulted her, but when cops arrived she changed her story. We’re told Marliesia admitted to starting the altercation by breaking items in his house and hitting him, but claimed the rapper also strangled her. However, we’re told neither Swae or Marliesia had any visible marks on them, but based on the evidence … cops decided to arrest her.

A representative for Swae Lee told the website police officers took Ortiz into custody for falsifying her accusations. The Los Angeles City Attorney is said to be considering whether to charge the Instagram model with misdemeanor assault.

“They’ll make up anything for a story about I’m truely baffled ☠️,” tweeted Swae on Monday morning. It’s not clear if his message was a direct response to the TMZ article claiming Ortiz attacked him.

Swae Lee is preparing to release his official debut solo album. He recently dropped the singles “Sextasy” and “Won’t Be Late” featuring Drake. As a member of Rae Sremmurd, Swae contributed to SremmLife, SremmLife 2, and SR3MM.

By: Shirley JuCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Sometimes, you have to flex if you got it.

For Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, this means dropping big bucks on a new home.

Last year, a beautiful, contemporary mansion in the high-end town of La Jolla, California near the water was listed for sale at $30 million.

After a game-changing price drop and change in realtors, the crib, known as “The Razor House,” was sold last week for $20.8 million.

The buyers? None other than the hip-hop super couple, who can definitely afford the home, given the accolades in their musical careers.

What’s interesting is both artists are East Coast-based, leaving it a mystery on their connection to the home near downtown San Diego.

The spacious property includes 10,653 square feet of room inside, with luxury features such as a home theater, gym, library, all-glass elevator and a kitchen with custom designer appliances.

Almost every wall in the residence is comprised of glass, with the floors hewn from travertine stone.

Also, a long infinity pool hangs over the cliff’s edge, with mesmerizing views of the hills and the ocean below.

Must be nice.
