By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) 2016 could be seen as a bittersweet year for A Tribe Called Quest.

The legendary collective lost founding member Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor in March.

Then eight months later, ATCQ released their final album titled We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service.

The critically acclaimed LP opened at #1 on the Billboard 200, giving the group the record for longest span between chart-topping albums for a Hip Hop act.

2017 is set to begin with even more Tribe.

Q-Tip, Jarobi White, Busta Rhymes, and Consequence sat down with the Drink Champs podcast, and the conversation is set to air on Revolt TV on January 12 at 11 pm ET.

In November, Revolt announced the new broadcast relationship with the popular N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN show.

“I’m proud to partner with Revolt and work with a bunch of old friends and to continue to motivate and change people’s lives,” said N.O.R.E.

“Partnering up with Revolt is the next step in the growing evolution of Drink Champs and will give our followers more access to our content with partners that are of the culture!” added DJ EFN.

Angie Stone Says Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars Stole Her Hip-Hop Classic

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Soul star Angie Stone has threatened to sue Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, accusing them of stealing her 1979 single “Funk You Up.”

Stone recorded the track almost 40 years ago when she was a member of girl band The Sequence, and she insists Mars and Ronson’s Grammy-winning hit “Uptown Funk” is a rip-off.

“As far as I’m concerned the song belongs to us,” Angie told The Sun. “We have been robbed, railroaded, overlooked and completely disrespected.

“Everyone got paid but my group. The truth of the matter is no one on that suit deserves it more than The Sequence because those lyrics are ours – ‘Funk You Up’ was ours. We branded it in 1979… Their record was not recorded before ours and I think it is because we are women on the ballot and we are getting railroaded. The truth is we have been trying to sue them long before the record became Record of the Year (at the Grammys).”

Angie reveals she has had to wait to file suit because until now no lawyer has agreed to take on her complaint and tackle the power of Warner Bros.

But the groundbreaking “Blurred Lines” lawsuit filed by Marvin Gaye’s heirs against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams has given her a big boost, especially when the Gaye’s won a multi-million settlement by claiming Thicke and Pharrell ripped off soul legend Marvin’s 1970s song “Got To Give It Up.”

Stone adds, “A lot of attorneys didn’t want to take the job because the industry is crazy because they don’t want to p**s off Bruno Mars. If my group cannot afford the millions of dollars it would take to fight for it, then they would pay millions to keep the lawyers fighting. They know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if we ever got through the ranks we’d take everybody out.”

Did Tory Lanez Diss Drake Again On ‘The New Toronto 2’ Mixtape? (AUDIO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) It appears Tory Lanez is back to throwing shots at Drake.

Lanez’s new mixtape The New Toronto 2 contains a track titled “Drive You Crazy,” and the song has a couple of lines that connect to Drizzy.

At one point, Lanez borrows some lyrics from Drake’s “5AM In Toronto.”

“Bout to make Forbes list, everything is gorgeous,” raps Tory.

Later the 24-year-old says, “And I pray I never dress like y’all. Only bird on my shirt is when I press that raw.”

That seems to be a clear reference to the OVO Owl often seen on clothes worn by Drake.

Lanez has been taking aim at his fellow Canadian for some time.

 

Drake also had some things to say about the man born Daystar Peterson on “Summer Sixteen” which led to Lanez responding.

“I understand that I’m a threat musically, but it is what it is. Much blessings to that man,” said Tory Lanez in an interview.

Mariah Carey Suffers Epic Lip Sync Fail During New Year’s Eve Performance

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Mariah Carey had a very embarrassing start to 2017 when her performance on America’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2017 show was hit with technical troubles.

The 46-year-old singer headlined the show in New York’s Times Square on Saturday night (December 31)), but it wasn’t one of her best shows.

She clearly lip-synced to her opening song, “Auld Lang Syne,” and she lost her way while singing her own hits Emotion and “We Belong Together” thanks to backing tape issues.

“Well, Happy New Year! We can’t hear!” Mariah said, trying to make the best of a bad situation as she attempted to sing “Emotion.”

“We didn’t have a (sound)check for this song, so we’ll just say it went to number one… Let the audience sing… Put these monitors on please!”

Mariah eventually gave up singing and just danced along to her songs, looking less than happy with her New Year’s Eve let down and stating, “It just doesn’t get any better.”

Ironically, Carey gave the first ever live performance on the Rockin’ Eve show back in 2005.

Mariah’s set mocked by opera star Josh Groban, who tweeted: “Any time one of the greatest voices of my generation lip syncs an angel loses its wings,” while actor Josh Gad suggested Mariah’s set was a comedy show, adding: ” #MariahCarey doing a Second City improv workshop on live TV is giving me life right now.”

One Twitter user added: “Everyone in Times Square was singing Mariah Carey except Mariah Carey. #lipsyncfail2016″, while another added: ”

2016 claimed another one… Mariah Carey’s sound guy”, and a third joked: “The cringe I felt during Mariah Carey’s performance was the height of my 2016.
