(AllHipHop Rumors) Just days away from the release of his Captain California album, MURS drops a new track from the project, the humorous and light-hearted “Lemon Juice” featuring friend and long time collaborator, Curtiss King. MURS and Curtiss King trade back and forth rhymes where they alternate dissing each other and solicit a girl’s attention they are both seeking. MURS, who drew inspiration for “Lemon Juice” from Positive K’s classic cut, “I Got A Man,” says the song is a reflection of his real relationship with Curtiss King.
“We’ve been working together for years, but I had to find the right place for our personalities to collide ’cause our whole relationship is just me and him going back and forth talking trash about each other,” MURS explains. “We’ve done more serious songs together, but nothing that encapsulates our friendship the way it truly is in real life the way ‘Lemon Juice’ does.”

(AllHipHop News)Beauty and the Beast actressEmma Watson is addressing the critics that took issue with her 2014 comments about Beyoncé.
Some people began questioning if Watson was a true feminist because of her braless photo for Vanity Fair.
“Feminism is about giving women choice, feminism is not a stick which to beat other women with. It’s about freedom, it’s about liberation, it’s about equality. I really don’t know what my t### have to do with it,” responded Watson to the critiques.
However, internet sleuths pulled up the 2014 Wonderland Magazine articlewhere Watson discussed Beyoncé’s self-titled 2013 album.
They used her own comments in an attempt to point out her hypocrisy on feminism.
“I’m quite nervous to bring it up because I still haven’t really formulated my own ideas about it,” Watson said at the time.
She added, “On the one hand she is putting herself in a category of a feminist, this very strong woman — and she has that beautiful speech by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in one of her songs — but then the camera, it felt very male, such a male voyeuristic experience of her and I just wondered if you had thoughts about that?”
After the backlash from the Bey Hive and others, Watson posted a screenshot on social media from the story which included more of her statements about the Grammy-winning singer.
The Harry Potter star’s Twitter post highlighted sections that appear to be supportive of Beyoncé as a feminist.
Watson stated:
[Beyoncé] does make it clear that she is performing for him. And the fact she wasn’t doing it for a label, she was doing it for herself and the control that she has directing it and putting it out there, I agree is making her sexuality empowering because it is her choice
The second is that I would say you do get sense of, ‘I can be a feminist, I can be an intellectual, I can be all these other things, but I can also be ok with my femininity and being pretty and with all these things that I thought might negate my message or negate what I am about’. That really is the most interesting thing about the album. It is so inclusive and puts feminism and femininity and female empowerment on such a broad spectrum.
(AllHipHop News) Chicago rapper Vic Mensa spent a few hours behind bars last week, after being arrested for weapons charges in Los Angeles.
According to TMZ.com, the whole debacle started when Vic was pulled over by policemen in Beverly Hills, where he has had previous encounters with the local authorities.
The cops pulled the rapper over for allegedly running a stop sign, in addition to having illegal, dark tinted windows.
When police approached his vehicle, Vic Mensa immediately notified police he had a gun in the car, and claimed he had a concealed carry permit for the weapon.
But when the police check the permit a little closer, they realized it was issued for another state.
The rapper was promptly charged with one count of one felony count of carrying a concealed weapon and eventually released on $35,000 bail.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Doesn’t Khia know that Remy will shoot a bishhhh?! LOL.
Khia has been known for her controversial commentary more than her music over the last few years. So much so, that her fans were patiently waiting for her to weigh in on the Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj beef.
Surprisingly Khia doesn’t have much to say about it, but the plot twist is her reason why!
Khia is deciding not to speak on the subject because she’s lusting after Remy’s husband Papoose.
Khia says that she’s been too busy getting her neck, back, p-ssy, and crack licked that she hasn’t had much time to even form an opinion on the drama between the two female emcees.
While Khia claims that she wants to be neutral, she’s doing the exact opposite as she talks about her desires for her black King Papoose. She says it’s really only out of respect for Pap that she won’t go in on Remy or Nicki.
“It’s something about that Papoose. Ohh. I got so much respect for that Papoose, you know. Mmm. That’s a Black king right there, and since I have so much respect for Papoose, I think it’s best for me to keep my comments to myself, so I can keep him happy at all times,” said Khia in her sexy and seductive voice.
Oh lawd. Remy is gonna smack Khia and release a diss track for her. I wonder if Papoose will respond. Khia is wild!

(AllHipHop Rumors) We really don’t know how T.I. and Tiny’s relationship is holding up; we just have been told that their divorce is on hold, and the two will continue filming VH1’s Family Hustle as a family unit.
At this point maybe they should stay “together” and have an open relationship, or maybe they already do have one.
Word on the curb is that T.I. has been entertaining model Bernice Burgos. Blogger Fameolous received a TIP that Bernice was recently in Vegas with T.I.. She was said to be with him, alone, with no other female friends in tow. She was also said to have been watching Tip the entire time, and she allegedly didn’t move until he left the stage. She then apparently stayed with him the entire time afterwards.
The insider claims that Bernice had Tip smiling pretty hard. Every time we look at her Instagram photos, we understand why.
Do you think Tip is smashing, or are they just “industry friends”?
(AllHipHop News) Somalia-born – Canadian-based rapper K’naan and is defending his hit song “Wavin Flag,” after the tune was used during a protest by a racist group in the country.
The Canadian Coalition of Concerned Citizens recently held a rally to protest Canada’s new M-103 resolution that the country’s Congress is debating.
The M-103 is simple, non-binding, non-legal motion introduced by MP Iqra Khalid to “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.”
However, the Canadian Coalition of Concerned Citizens believes their rights to free speech are being trampled upon with the resolution.
The rapper, who immigrated to Canada from Somalia at the age of 13 to flee war and persecution, was not particularly happy with the group using his music.
“Everyone wants to complain about robots putting humans out of work but what about bigots doing the same to satirists?” K’naan asked via Twitter.
“Just thought of a chant they could sing: “we want the work/not the force/we want the knowledge/not the source/we want the fruit/not the tree/let’s sing the song!/Oh god, don’t tell me it’s by a Somali refugee”
Still, George Hallak, the founder of Canadian Coalition of Concerned Citizens held his ground, even if it’s hypocritical to use a song from an immigrant like K’naan, who also happens to be a Muslim.
“I’ve talked to many Canadians that are very worried that the freedom of speech is going to be little by little taken away from us, whereas we cannot even mention anything regarding Islam and Shariah law,” Hallak said.
Somalia is also one of the six countries listed on U.S. President Donald Trump’s infamous “Muslim Ban.”
