(AllHipHop News) Kanye West took to Twitter today (April 18) to share what he says will be his philosophical book titled “Break the Simulation.”
Kanye posted a run of tweets where he gave readers a glimpse of what they can expect from the upcoming book.
Today’s tweets seem to suggest Kanye will be writing his book on his social media account.
“This is my book that I’m writing in real time. No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write,” Kanye West said. “This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive.”
The initial batch of tweets offered readers interesting, positive advice on how to wake up positive in the morning, in addition to offering up some tips on how to deal with competition.

Both stars are up for Top Artist, competing against Drake, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars, who has landed 14 nominations.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Beyonce is like the Queen of the World right now. It is hard to conceive now poppin’ she is right now, because she’s just on another level in every single way. Kim Kardashian on the other hand, is…on a different frequency. As you know, Beyonce/Jay and Kim K/Kanye have been on the outs for quite some time. From what we understand, Kanye and Jay have made some moves to improve their relationship. Kim wants the same for her and Beyonce. Remember when Kim gave Bey all that free baby swag and Beyonce just gave it all back. And then Kim got offended and mad. Well, now she is back to “groveling” to get the Queen of Everything to be friends again. But, reports from RadarOnline have suggested that nothing is helping and Beyonce just does NOT want to be friends.
(AllHipHop Features) Inspired by Jay-Z’s illustrious annual Roc Nation Brunch, David Banner celebrated his birthday in style with a black tie dinner celebration at the American Cut restaurant in Atlanta’s Buckhead area.
“Impressed with #JayZ ‘s brunch. We vowed to bring that level of excellence to the south. (We did.) Thank you #ATLANTA for being the home of #ABANNERVISION,” posted Banner.
The night began with a cocktail reception with drinks courtesy of Hennessy.
Shortly after, Banner’s guests moved the celebration downstairs to a private dinner that included notable guests such as T.I., Coach K, Ernestine Johnson, Jay Morrison, Terri Vaughn, Karon Joseph Riley, and more!
Banner revealed that he doesn’t really like the spotlight to be on himself, so he took a moment out to not only celebrate his birthday, but he also took time out to honor others who are making a difference.
AllHipHop caught up with David Banner to discuss his multimedia company, celebrating another year of life, and much more.
AllHipHop: How are you feeling today?
David Banner: I don’t know; a lot has happened in these last two days. I think the most high is working on me. I had a tragedy yesterday that don’t nobody know about. I’m actually putting my face on today. You know what I’m saying. Some really crazy things happened. But my mom told me that you can’t take everybody with you. If this is really a rights of passage, the bad thing is that everybody can’t come. So it’s like for me, I’m really emotional, and I’m not an emotional guy.
Most of the people who are here are actually people that I love. The people who are downstairs, not the people who are upstairs, but the people who are downstairs are real live people that I love, and to have people that I went to high school with and some of the rappers from Mississippi. You know to the first person in Atlanta who ever let me in the studio. These people are here tonight.
Tip showed up for me tonight. Coach showed up for me tonight. Like I didn’t really want the artists and the people who I really wasn’t close to. I wanted the people who really fck with me. Like if something happened to me that these people would show up like we were in high school show up. Like click clack show up. One of my best friends in the world who was with me when I was SGA president, he’s about to be a doctor, and he’s right here with me. He’s literally standing next to me. Like I wasn’t joking like he wasn’t standing next to me, like he real live standing next to me…ready to fck sh-t up too.
I know this is AllHipHop so I can say this. Now let me get back distinguished again. It means the world to me. My friends are here. My new friends are here. My new family is here, and I’m just honored. And for AllHipHop to be here it means a lot because we all started, and the owners who sitting back there paying the bills you know what I’m talking about we started together…when the owners used to shoot. Like I know the owners; they used to hold the cameras back in the day. So the fact that yall in New York chilling right now is all good. I appreciate all yall.
I’ma say this, I’m going to say this on AllHipHop because we have a relationship. Watch what starts happening tomorrow for my company. And I’m not saying this popping. Like we are about to help change the way people look at black folks period, and instead of begging folks to shoot our movies, we are about to start shooting our own sht.* Instead of begging people to give us radio, to give us pictures, and opportunity, we are going to start shooting our own stuff, and I’m going to pay for it.
I’m putting my life on the line, and I don’t even have children yet. One thing people don’t know about me is that, I’ve always…and people are going to laugh at this. I’m one of the few rappers that wanted to be married. I’m one of the few rappers that wants to have children and take care of those children, but I sacrificed a certain part of my life because I had to be selfish for the people, and for myself, and for my business, and for my employees. But this sht ’bout to start paying off ’cause I’m going to have to get somebody pregnant. You see this gray? This ain’t fake gray. People think I dye this sht. I don’t want to have to result to the blue pills.
AllHipHop: #MLK50 just passed and even though it’s a sad moment with his assassination, we choose to celebrate his legacy with the day. So we’ve come so far, but have so far to go. You as an activist, what would you like to speak on as far as how far we have to go, and what needs to be done?
David Banner: We don’t have to go that far actually. See I think when we say we have a long way to go it makes black people feel like it’s so far down the road that it don’t even make sense to even take that step.
Can I say it the way I want to say it? All we gotta do is start fcking with each other…. Like think about this. Imagine if me, Tip, and Killer Mike ran businesses together. I ain’t even talking about the millions of other people we know. I’m just talking about me, Tip, and Killer Mike period, and imagine if you added everybody else that we know and we did business together. It wouldn’t take but $50,000 a piece, $25k…sht if it’s enough of us it wouldn’t take but $5k a piece if we did business. Then imagine the people who are right here y’all held us down while everyone else hated on us. We don’t need nobody else. I gotta say it. If I had y’all I wouldn’t need them.
Black people have been fooled into thinking that the people who treat you the worst are the people that love you. The people who really fight for us, most of them motherf*ckers are broke and lonely. That’s the reason why I knew I had to go open up my multimedia company and get money the other way because our people don’t understand when somebody truly loves you, so we are going to have to start shooting our own movies. I’ma give yall one example of this.
Have y’all ever noticed: I want to do sci-fi movies. You know why I want to do sci-fi movies? It’s because when you watch sci-fi movies, they’re preparing you for the future, but you don’t ever see no black folks, so they’re really preparing for you to die….A little black child ran in she was crying to her dad. She said, “Dad are there going to be any black people in the future?” He said, “Why baby, why baby?” “Because I didn’t see none on the Jetsons.”
So if your kids are watching cartoons and they don’t see no black people, they are preparing you. You remember back in the day on all the sci-fi films they used to have this little black thing and you could teleport anywhere you want to? That’s basically your iPhone right now. You can do everything on your iPhone but teleport right, and that’s coming; keep your black ass alive. So it’s our responsibility to give our people vision, and that’s what we are about to do.
(AllHipHop Rumors) The streets are saying that 6ix9ine has Adrien Broner and others shook right now. All this is stemming from the recent back and forth between the Rapper and Boxer.
Adrien Broner is scheduled to fight Jessie Vargas this Saturday in Brooklyn. Boxing officials are being cautious due to Broner’s new feud and it’s affecting their media campaign.
Media workouts were scheduled for the fighters tomorrow before their scheduled bout. However, those workouts have since been cancelled due to the unwanted attention.
Officially there was no reason given for the change, but many believe it is because of Broner, although a rep for Showtime denied it had anything to do with 6ix9ine.
6ix9ine and Adrien Broner have been more than willing to speak on their disdain for each other.
Adrien has also responded to 6ix9ine’s taunts and he has even matched a $300,000 bet with the rapper by posting a check pre-written to 6ix9ine if he loses to Jesse Vargas this weekend.
Hopefully, everything stays in the words and doesn’t veer off into the streets.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Travis Scott is countersuing promoters who have accused the new dad of skipping a Super Bowl show in Minnesota to spend time with his girlfriend.
PJAM LLC officials claim they paid the star $150,000 of a $200,000 fee to perform at Myth Live in Minnesota on 3 February, while his agent also allegedly secured a $10,000 booking fee.
The promoters claim Scott refused to show up amid reports suggesting weather conditions were preventing him from getting to the gig.
The rapper did, however, make it to a show in Las Vegas the same night, and he and his girlfriend Kylie Jenner announced the news they had become parents the following day.
PJAM bosses insist they suffered “reputational harm” based upon Scott’s failure to perform.
But now he’s firing back with legal documents of his own, claiming the promoters never sent him a confirmed travel itinerary for the Minnesota show.
In his suit, Travis claims he learned PJAM didn’t have the cash to cover his expenses or the remaining $50,000 they owed him.
Travis has also accused the promoters of violating a confidentiality agreement by speaking to TMZ about the gig days before the show.
PJAM bosses are suing to get their money back, and damages, while Travis wants the additional $50,000 he never received.
His attorney, Howard King, tells TMZ PJAM’s lawsuit is “an obvious effort to shake Travis down and avoid the consequences of their breaches.”
He adds, “Instead of pursuing a misguided attempt to spin the narrative and salvage their tattered reputation, the responsible step would have been for PJAM to pay Travis the balance of his fee and move on to their next opportunity.
“Travis apologizes to any fans who were duped by these promoters into showing up at the canceled show even after the promoters failed to take the steps to get Travis there.”
(AllHipHop News) In case you forgot, the critically-acclaimed Top Dawg Entertainment roster is heading out on tour together. The West Coast label is reminding fans about the upcoming trek with a new promotional video.
Kendrick Lamar appears in the clip attempting to teach Jay Rock how to play tennis. ScHoolboy Q tries his hand at golf while SZA explores the surrounding woods.
Ab-Soul struggles with his jump shot after sending SiR to the wrong basketball court. Meanwhile, Isaiah Rashad takes on the role of a soccer coach. Then they all come together to train for their title run.
Top Dawg Entertainment sports one of the most acclaimed discographies in modern music. Numerous critics considered Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN and SZA’s Ctrl as two of the best albums of 2017.
Other projects like ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron, Jay Rock’s 90059, Isaiah Rashad’s The Sun’s Tirade, Lance Skiiiwalker’s Introverted Intuition, Ab-Soul’s Do What Thou Wilt, and SiR’s November have been highly regarded in recent years. In addition, the Kendrick-curated Black Panther: The Album spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart this year.
“TDE: The Championship Tour” begins May 4 in Vancouver, Canada. Tickets are available now at thechampionshiptour.com.
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Kodak Black has reportedly been sentenced to a year in jail on illegal guns and drugs charges.
The hip-hop star was slapped with a number of felony counts after a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team raided the Florida home he was sharing with friends following a report of a domestic disturbance in January.
During a search of the property, police officers uncovered two guns and a stash of weed, and Kodak, real name Dieuson Octave, was taken into custody for grand theft of a firearm, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, marijuana possession, child neglect, and probation violation charges.
Kodak, who has been in custody ever since, insisted the gun and drugs had nothing to do with him, and in February), one count each of possession of a weapon or ammunition by a delinquent, grand theft of a firearm, and child neglect were dismissed.
He appeared in Broward County Court to face two of his remaining charges, entering not guilty pleas to both possession of cannabis and possession of ammunition.
Kodak has pleaded guilty to two probation violations, including driving on a suspended license and associating with people committing crimes.
The rapper was facing 12 years behind bars, but he has been sentenced to 364 days in jail, with 90 days credited for time already served.
He could reportedly be released by October for good behavior and will not have to face any more probation.
“Kodak (and I) are extremely happy to resolve this case with an excellent resolution,” his attorney Bradford Cohen tells TMZ. “It was very nice to deal with a fair judge who understood the circumstances – along with prosecutors.”
Meanwhile, the rap star is also facing prosecution for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, after allegedly assaulting a teenage girl at a South Carolina hotel following a concert in 2016.
He was indicted by a grand jury in October and freed on bond on December 1.
Kodak faces up to 30 years behind bars if convicted in that case.
(AllHipHop News) The Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, limousine riding, jet flying son of a gun made a special cameo in the video for Offset and Metro Boomin’s “Ric Flair Drip.” It was only right for the pro wrestling icon to join the Atlanta-based Hip Hop creators on The Tonight Show too.
Jimmy Fallon introduced the Migos member, the hit-making producer, and The Roots house band for the late-night performance. The real Ric Flair later entered the squared circle alongside Offset.
This was the second time in a week Offset hit the stage at the NBC program. He also assisted Tinashe for “No Drama” on the April 12 episode.
“Ric Flair Drip” appears on the Offset/Metro Boomin/21 Savage collaborative project Without Warning. The 10-track effort was released last Halloween.
Offset also continued his run with 2018’s Culture II by him, Quavo, and Takeoff. The Migos’ LP hosts the Top 10 hit “Stir Fry” which was produced by Pharrell.
(AllHipHop News) During a recent interview with Beats 1 Radio’s Zane Lowe, Nicki Minaj was asked about Meek Mill’s ongoing legal drama. She answered by refusing to criticize the questionable judge in the case.
Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley faced heavy critiques for the handling of the decade-long situation. Her decision to sentence the Philadelphia rapper to 2-4 years in prison for probation violations has been called excessive, and Meek’s legal team accused Brinkley of asking him to remake a Boyz II Men song featuring a shout-out to her in the lyrics.
Nicki was supposedly in a closed-door meeting when Brinkley made the odd music request, but the Young Money artist did not back up her ex-boyfriend during the conversation with Lowe. Instead, Minaj stated, “The judge in question did everything I asked of her, so I can’t bad mouth her ’cause I met her personally and I know what she said to us and [Meek] knows that.”
Joe Tacopina, Meek Mill’s current attorney, was a guest on The Breakfast Club this week. The lawyer responded to Nicki’s somewhat supportive comments about Judge Brinkley.
“There were five witnesses who were there when Meek and Nicki came out of chambers. They immediately huddled up and both of them told the story to these five witnesses about what happened,” said Tacopina. “Nicki, right now, is in a different spot with Meek, as you all know… So her motivations and her agendas, right now, are really not of my concern. If need to be proven, we can prove anything we say.”
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office supports Meek Mill being released from prison following the revelation the original arresting officer was on a D.A.’s list of known corrupt cops. However, Judge Brinkley denied hearing immediate arguments about releasing the 30-year-old on bail and scheduled another hearing for June.
“I try not to do too much negative speaking on [Brinkley] because my life is in her hands, but I think people could see that was a little crazy,” Mill told CNN’s Don Lemon about the court delay. “If the D.A.’s offering that I get bail, offering that I get a new trial, I think 60 days is a little outrageous.”
(AllHipHop News) Two decades ago, Lauryn Hill released one of the most celebrated albums in history. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is certified 8-times platinum, and it was the first Hip Hop album to win the Grammy for Album Of The Year.
Ms. Hill is celebrating the 20-year anniversary of her 1998 magnum opus by going on a world tour. The former Fugees member will use a portion of the ticket sales to raise money and awareness for charities through the MLH Foundation.
“This album chronicled an intimate piece of my young existence. It was the summation of most, if not all, of my most hopeful and positive emotions experienced to that date,” says Lauryn in a statement. “I Loved and believed deeply in my community’s ability to both Love and heal itself provided it received the right amount of support and encouragement.”
She continues, “Our world today, both complex and changing, is in need of the balance between moral fortitude and cathartic expression. I hope the Love and energy that permeated this work can continue to inspire change with Love and optimism at the helm.”
Special guest performances are expected to take part in select dates of “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hil 20th Anniversary Tour.” Tickets and VIP experiences go on sale to the general public on April 20 at 10 am local time at LiveNation.com.
Additionally, Hill will play New York City’s Apollo Theater exclusively for Citi cardmembers on May 1st. The tickets will be $20 in honor of the 20th anniversary of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and all ticket proceeds will go directly to the MLH Foundation.

(AllHipHop News) The story of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon A Time in Shaolin LP has involved a $2 million price, a convicted felon, and the federal government. “Pharmo Bro” Martin Shkreli purchased the one-of-a-kind art project, but the album was confiscated by the feds as a result of the seizure of Shkreli’s assets after his conviction for securities fraud.
It appears members of the Wu are trying to regain Once Upon A Time. Ghostface Killah posted a photo with former FBI Director James Comey on Instagram. The droll caption mentioned his crew’s 2015 secret double CD.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BhsKib0HJqa/?hl=en&taken-by=realghostfacekillah
“Me and my brother [Method Man] Workin on getting that album back from the feds… wu Tang forever,” wrote Ghost.
Comey was a guest on last night’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Meth and Ghost were on the program as well. The Wu representatives showed up to confront a cookie version of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“Quit your hammering you little Keebler Elf. You got no business keeping that record to yourself,” joked Method Man.

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West saved a recent episode of U.S. game show “Celebrity Family Feud” when he offered to take on his wife and in-laws after Paris Hilton and her clan pulled out.
The popular show’s host Steve Harvey admits bosses were at a loss when the Hiltons opted out of the clash of reality TV families, but rapper Kanye then suggested he and his relatives take part.
Appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday to tease the upcoming episode of “Family Feud,” Harvey admits he had no idea Kanye was such a big fan of his game show.
“They (Kardashians) were supposed to play against the Paris Hilton family – the Hiltons against the Kardashians,” he explains. “The Hiltons canceled, so Kanye, who’s a big fan of ‘Family Feud’ said, ‘I want to play’.
“So, he brought his family – people you don’t know, these cousins, (and) they were just the best, because they were just, like, hood.”
And super-serious Kanye had another surprise in store for Harvey – he knew the game backwards and became the star of the show.
“Kanye was the best ‘Family Feud’ celebrity panelist we’ve ever had on the show,” Harvey adds. “His people (aides) said, ‘Steve, this is the most Kanye has ever smiled since we’ve been working for him’. Kanye smiled! When I introduced him, he smiled. Tune in and you’ll see Kanye smiling.”
But his wife, Kim Kardashian, failed to deliver: “Kim didn’t know nothing,” Harvey laughs.
The “Family Feud” episode was filmed last month and is expected to air in May.
(AllHipHop News) The unknown gunmen seeking to assassinate Floyd Mayweather in Atlanta weren’t messing around when they sprayed his caravan of SUVs with gunfire last week.
Recently released photos show a bullet-ridden van, which police say was hit by gunfire 12 times in the early morning hours of April 9.
Floyd Mayweather and his entourage managed to evaded their assailants, who chased the vehicles for a short time after the shooting.
Police are still combing through forensic evidence and looking for suspects in the targeted shooting.
(AllHipHop News) Cardi B once offered to strip for the fabled Penthouse nightclub.
During a Coachella sit down with colorful viral interviewer Nadwuar, the rapper, who used to make her living as a stripper, revealed she auditioned to take her clothes off for the men’s club when she was 20.
“They told me to come back in a couple of months when I was 21,” she explained, as she reflected on her past as an exotic dancer and the music she like to perform to.
“I actually used to enjoy dancing to house music, but I went to the hood clubs and then it was hip-hop,” she adds.
Her interviewer then presented pregnant Cardi with an old vinyl album, titled “How to Strip for Your Husband,” and urged her to buy a turntable and play it for inspiration.
The rapper shot back, “I don’t need this. I know how to.”
She then flashed her huge engagement ring and said, “Look at my ring. What does that tell you?”
Migos rapper Offset proposed to the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker last year. She is expecting his baby.
