By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Scott Storch is known worldwide for his legendary productions for artists as varied as Beyonce, Jay Z, Dr. Dre and others.
​
However, he is equally known for his legendary cocaine addiction, which drove him to spend over $30 million in six months period, blowing much of the fortune he had amassed as one of the go-to guy’s in Hip-Hop for a hit. After spiraling out of control, Storch spent five years in a Florida rehab center and emerged in 2014 with a plan to return to the top.

Since then Scott Storch has been on a roll and hasn’t missed a beat, producing for major acts like Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, Chris Webby, Tyga, DJ Khaled, Game and others.

Storch also landed an innovative technology deal with Servers.com to securely store his works to protect against hacks and leaks.
​
The producer has credited cannabis with helping him to get his other serious addictions (cocaine), in check and is now a cannabis entrepreneur.
​
Scott Storch recently announced the launch of Storch Labs, which will produce an exclusive strain of marijuana.
​
“After a journey with sobriety I have reached where I am today by staying sober and smoking only the finest chronic that helps me feel great and create,” Scott Storch said. “Now that I have started my own brand, a lot of things coming in #2017.”

Scott promised his fans his weed would be pure fire, just like his music.

Kanye West Gives Pusha T A Gold Chain For His Unwavering Support

By: Mike WinslowCategory: Uncategorized

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West treated rapper Pusha T to a special gift this Christmas – a gold chain bearing his zodiac sign.

The “Stronger” hitmaker struggled with health issues in the weeks leading up to the holidays, but it seems he still managed to squeeze in a little Christmas shopping, and his list included a thoughtful piece of jewelry for his close friend.

Pusha T, who was appointed president of Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music label last year (2015), took to social media to show off the delicate chain and pendant, which was engraved with an image of a Taurus and presented in a black velvet box with a matching tag reading, “From Kanye.”

“Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is all about reward,” he captioned the photo. “Taurus loves the rewards of the game… thanx (sic) @kanyewest”.

The Clipse star has been a strong source of support for Kanye after he canceled the remainder of his Saint Pablo Tour dates in late November and was hospitalized for a mental evaluation.

Kanye was reportedly treated for exhaustion and sleep deprivation, before he was discharged earlier this month to continue his recovery at his Los Angeles home with his wife Kim Kardashian and their two young children.

While he was under doctors’ care, he was reportedly eager to return to making music, and Pusha reached out to his mentor online and suggested they head back to Hawaii to do just that as he marked the sixth anniversary of Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album.

“6 yrs (years) ago today I was apart (sic) of one of the greatest hip hop albums ever,” he wrote beside a picture of the cover art.

He went on to recall how Kanye invited him to Hawaii to work on the tracks and helped him grow to be “the solo artist I never saw myself as.”

“So on the 6th anniversary of MBDTF and as the President of your label G.O.O.D. music I wanna say thanx (sic) for the endless opportunities you have brought to me,” he added. “P.S. I think it’s time we all head back to Hawaii @kanyewest ::whenever you ready:: #GOOD.”

Uncle Murda also has a new podcast “Brooklyn Boys” which will launch on a soon to be announced major network.

T.I. Reportedly Attempting To Stop Divorce From Tiny

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Recently, news broke that longtime couple Tip “T.I.” Harris and Tameka “Tiny” Harris were headed for divorce.

According to TMZ, T.I. is looking to stop the marriage from falling apart.

The website reports:

Sources close to T.I. tell TMZ he thinks Tiny has overreacted because they’ve always gotten through rough patches in their 15-year relationship. He waited a few weeks so she could cool down after filing divorce docs, but now he’s trying talk “sense” into her … that they’re good together.

T.I. believes Tiny was pushed by “jealous friends” into filing to end their marriage.

Tiny filed for divorce on December 7, and she is supposedly seeking alimony, child support, and legal physical custody of their three children.

However, both performers did spend time together with their family during the holiday season.

Meek Mill’s Side Chick Is Telling It All!

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well it looks like we just learned that there is still some trouble in paradise for Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill!

First rumors spread that Meek and Nicki broke up as Meek was allegedly cheating with a Philly boutique owner. Supposedly sources close to the couple said that the couple was in fact having trouble, but the boutique owner rumors were completely false. The insider, at the time, also claimed that the couple was still together.

Now it looks like Meek p##### off one of his side chicks as she is “telling it all”.

According to Meek’s side bae, she is p##### off because she was supposed to be Meek’s only side b-tch. She expresses that she is upset about the big booty Meek posted on his Instagram because it’s not her.

She goes on to say he allegedly gave her a timeline on how he and Nicki’s relationship was going to pan out. The woman claims the relationship is completely contrived so that both Nicki and Meek could make money off of it, and so that our favorite Barb doesn’t look like she needs Safaree.

The scorned woman felt it necessary to let it be known that Meek allegedly doesn’t pay his artists either. She claims that although Meek did a bit of pillow talking, the only thing she got out of it about Nicki was that she has an attitude.

This woman is definitely seeking attention and publicity as she wants to create speculation about who she is before finally revealing herself.

Well, she definitely claims that Meek was smashing as she says she met him at Aces NY over the summer, but Meek didn’t start hitting that until the fall.

Hmmmmmmmmm did you always think that Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill’s relationship was one big publicity stunt?

If you are going to have someone on the side, you can only f-ck with people that have something to lose, and even those situations can go left. LOL. In your opinion, what’s the benefit of having a side chick or a side dude?

Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee Wants to Date Malia Obama

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee is feeling President Barack Obama’s eldest daughter.

Swae was celebrating his brother Slim Jxmmi ‘s birthday in Los Angeles, when TMZ.com’s cameras caught him on the streets.

Swae was discussing his group’s amazing year, with their hit song “Black Beatles,” which spawned the viral #MannequinChallenge.

“We made the world freeze, we froze them up man, everybody froze,” said Swae.

During the year, celebrities as varied as Adele and Hillary Clinton, Young Thug, Desiigner, Drake, Diddy, Kevin Hart and Paul McCartney did the #MannequinChallenge on social media.

Even Malia’s mom Michelle Obama got in the act, when she hit the #MannequinChallenge with LeBron James when the Cavaliers were at the White House celebrating their championship win over the Golden State Warriors in November.

“I think we would get along, we are just young minds, creative minds, creative minds,” Swae Lee said of his possible connection with Malia.

Malia has a year off before she starts college at Harvard, and Swae is hopeful he will cross paths with the famous the President’s daughter.

“We both be on turnt up scenes and we both love life equally. We might connect,” Swae Lee said. “I might unlock a new swag for her.”

Malia Obama, 18, may not have much experience dating, but she’s no stranger to rappers.

She was scrutinized for wearing a Pro-Era t-shirt, which allegedly drew the wrath of the Secret Service upon group member Joey Bada$$.

The First Daughter’s image also made headlines around the world in August, when she was caught twerking to a Mac Miller song and smoking what appeared to be a joint on camera with Chance the Rapper’s brother Taylor Bennett during Bryson Tiller’s set at Lollapalooza in August.

Call ‘Em Out! Remy Ma Send Shots At A Certain Female Rapper!

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Remy Ma was talking some big sh-t on this recent remix!

Phresher’s “Wait A Minute” has been heating up the streets over the last few months.

The remix has also been receiving a bit of love with Phresher getting an assist from Remy Ma and 50 Cent.

While some rocked with Remy’s verse last month, it wasn’t until the video for the remix was released that fans really noticed that Remy Ma was taking some serious shots at another female rapper.

Fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that Remy’s shots were aimed at none other than Nicki Minaj!

Remy raps,

“Same b-tches call me, that’s how I knew y’all was phony. I put putting that work, taking ’em to church, cause I leave ’em holy. Will I smoke this b-tch? Yes. Probably fail my p### test. Get rid of those fake breasts. And put a vest on this b-tch chest. It’s lunch time, she food. I’m Troy Ave with that tool. Crack a b-tch with my cell phone, really put her on Facetime. That ghostwriter bout to call her. That lifeline getting shorter. RIP Biggie Smalls, why the f### they ain’t want her?”

Safaree is a little calculated himself at times. With that being said, we noticed that last month when the remix was released, he posted a photo of him and Remy on his Instagram.

I mean the ghostwriter and fake breasts line certainly seems to hit home for Nicki. Could Remy have been calling Nicki out, or was she simply just talking that ish on the track? What are your thoughts?
