(AllHipHop News) Rap star T.I. is calling for a boycott of Starbucks, after a video went viral showing to black men being arrested, just for sitting inside of a Philadelphia location.
Protesters are currently picketing a Center City Starbucks at 18th and Spruce Street after the two men were arrested last Thursday (April 12), while waiting to meet with a white colleague.
A manager at Starbucks called the cops on the men, claiming they were trespassing in the venue after they asked to use the bathroom instead of making a purchase.
Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson has apologized and is seeking to meet the victims face to face.
“The circumstances surrounding the incident and the outcome in our store on Thursday were reprehensible,” Kevin Johnson said. “They were wrong,” Johnson said. “For that, I personally apologize to the two gentlemen that visited our store.”
T.I. felt that Starbucks needs to do more than host meetings and give apologies.
“We should reserve our right to stop spending our money places that don’t respect us equally. Until they have made some progressive steps to let us know how they plan on rectifying the situation. I don’t see any other answer. If there’s one thing that America has shown us there’s only two ways you can get their attention. The loss of life and the loss of finances.”
Starbucks should not doubt T.I.’s clout.
Owners of the chain felt the backlash the rapper’s boycott caused and invited him to help the company with diversity training.
(AllHipHop News) Meek Mill received the best news yet in his ongoing war for freedom.
Today during a status hearing, the Philadelphia D.A. told Judge Genece Brinkley the believe Meek’s 2008 drug and gun conviction should be vacated and he should be granted a new trial.
Over the past month, Meek received a co-sign from the D.A. and the Governor after news broke, suggesting the arresting officer in Meek’s original case had been named as part of a police corruption scandal in Philadelphia.
The cop had been accused of lying under oath in a number of cases, including Meek’s.
Now, both the prosecutors in the case and Meek Mill’s defense attorneys both agree that the rapper did not receive a fair trial.
The rapper’s legal team is seeking to have the entire case overturned, but they still must get past Judge Genece Brinkley, who presides over Meek’s case.
Despite having such overwhelming evidence, Judge Brinkley still refused to rule on the case and even barred Meek’s attorney’s from presenting their arguments that their client should be released immediately.
Meek’s lawyer Brian McMonagle promised to appeal to a higher court to secure Meek’s release immediately.
Meanwhile, thousands of supporters were on hand in Philadelphia today (April 16), to celebrate the release of rapper Meek Mill.
“I think God delivered me a job to helping people, helping minorities that come from these situations like myself,” Meek said of his post-release plans during an interview with Lester Holt.
“I say don’t show me no pity because this is my life. This is what I’ve been going through. And I think God put me in this position to be able to do a show with Lester Holt and open up eyes for other young black men,” Meek said.
Protesters gathered in front of the Criminal Justice Center in Center City to support Meek’s bid for freedom.
Take a look at some images from the rally.

(AllHipHop News) Wu-Tang Clan member Clifford “Method Man” Smith connected with The Daily Beast to discuss the new season of his TBS rap competition show Drop the Mic. The interview also featured the New Yorker talking about his hometown Hip Hop scene.
“I feel like we lost our identity but it was good for the unification of hip-hop as a whole. Atlanta is the new New York,” said Method Man. He added, “The South did their thang and they cannot be blamed for the state of hip-hop right now—no one can be blamed for that, these are just cycles that the music has to go through.”
In addition, the Tical album creator spoke on the breaking down of race and gender barriers in Hip Hop. Meth also addressed modern male Hip Hop stars – like Atlanta’s Young Thug- embracing androgyny.
“It’s cool when one person is doing it, and you say, ‘OK, that’s his thing,’ but then when it becomes a trend…They’re basically doing what rock ‘n’ rollers did with the fingernail-painting, the long hair, jumpin’ in the crowd—they want to be rock stars now. Be that, but don’t call it hip-hop. I think it’s different, but it has its place,” said the 47-year-old.
Meth continued, “Would I rather sit there and listen to Rakim at a concert? Probably. I would love to listen to Rakim all day on my radio. But nowadays, if I’m at a concert, I’m gonna see Kendrick, I’m gonna see Rae Sremmurd, I’m gonna see these artists that turn up the way I would be doing if I was makin’ that kind of music.”
While Johnny Blaze acknowledged some performers in the new generation, he had a more unfavorable opinion on Lil Xan’s comments about Tupac Shakur. He stated, “These f-ckin’ idiots. That’s like me tryin’ to sh-t on N.W.A. It’s because of N.W.A that I don’t got [to censor] my f-ckin’ curse words on my records and I can say ‘f-ck the police’ and get away with that sh-t if I wanted to. We held our OGs in high regard.”
Method Man also conversed about the deaths of The Notorious B.I.G. and Pac, rooting for Bronx newcomer Cardi B, the Wu’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album, U-God’s controversial memoir, working with Redman, Donald Trump, and more.

(AllHipHop News) A woman has filed a complaint against R. Kelly, alleging he infected her with a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
The unnamed woman also claims the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer tried to groom her and convince her to join his alleged “sex cult,” according to legal documents.
Her attorney Lee Merritt states that his client, who was 19 when she began dating the 51-year-old R&B star last June, ended their eight-month relationship in February.
Merritt alleges their relationship was marred by “several forms of criminal misconduct” by Kelly, including “unlawful restraint, furnishing alcohol and illegal drugs to a minor, and aggravated assault (via the referenced intentional STD infection).”
In the complaint, the singer is also accused of attempting to convince her to join the alleged “sex cult” news reports have linked him to, and that she was asked to sign a contract and divulge sensitive information about her and her family as “collateral.”
Kelly’s representative told The Washington Post that he “categorically denies all claims and allegations” related to the woman’s complaint.
A report detailing the singer’s alleged mistreatment of women was first published by BuzzFeed last July when the families of two women and several former associates accused him of brainwashing young women into a “cult” servicing his sexual desires.The article included an interview with Timothy and Joycelyn Savage, who said their daughter Jocelyn had been brainwashed and was being held at one of Kelly’s properties – an allegation Jocelyn denied.
According to the Daily News, the new accuser has contacted the Savages on social media, with the family praising her “bravery” in coming forward with her complaint against Kelly.
In a recent BBC documentary, the singer’s former girlfriend Kitti Jones alleged Kelly had “trained” a 14-year-old girl to become his sexual plaything.

my favorite moment of walking into MSG to play Saint Pablo, I used to go to the hospital and play Lamar the album when he was learning to walk and talk again Then we walked into the arena together
Some people have to work within the existing consciousness while some people can shift the consciousness
often people working with the existing consciousness are jealous of those who are more in touch and they become hard-core capitalist in hopes of creating the illusion that the value of money is worth more than the value of time and friends

(AllHipHop Rumors) Tyga is a man of many different tastes, styles and elegant flavors. In a sense, “the King of Gold Chains” could be considered a connoisseur.
Not only has the rapper owned a solid gold toilet, but he has also housed sand imported from Egypt in one of his flagship Last King stores.
Tyga has once again emerged as a viable entertainment commodity this year. He recently released his latest album “Kyoto” independently with distribution from Empire.
As of today, Tyga has released 5 music videos from the project and they all have added millions of views to his YouTube tally.
That’s making this next rumor not much of a stretch to be believed if it’s in fact true. Coachella season has been in full blossom with many celebrities flocking to the California festival.
At the festival, Tyga would finally have a chance run in with ex Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, but that’s not what’s making headlines. Tyga has apparently put the whole Kylie situation behind him and is allegedly dating Iggy Azalea.
The pair were spotted with each other throughout the festival looking very cozy and comfortable. The new couple would also use their time at Coachella to enjoy some musical performances.
On Friday night, Tyga and Iggy Azalea were videoed enjoying The Weeknd’s performance set together. Tyga has definitely been winning this year and it’s good to see both of the rappers finding romance again in their newfound situation.

Invasion of Privacy earned 255,000 first-week units, giving Cardi the #1 position.

The only other female Hip Hop artists to have Billboard 200 chart-toppers are Foxy Brown and Nicki Minaj. Foxy’s Chyna Doll hit #1 in 1999. Nicki has done it twice with Pink Friday in 2011 and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in 2012.
