(AllHipHop News) A hacker had cops in Dunedin, New Zealand repeatedly listening to N.W.A’s “F*ck Tha Police” whether they wanted to or not. The Independent reports someone began illegally broadcasting the 1988 protest song on the Dunedin police radio frequency. 

Rage Against The Machine’s cover version was also thrown into the mix. The prankster was able to cause the disruption for days.

“Any interference with a police radio constitutes a risk to public safety, and anyone caught doing this can face a penalty of criminal nuisance and up to one year imprisonment,” stated Inspector Kelvin Lloyd.

Authorities claim no radios were currently missing. Last August, police frequencies in New Zealand’s lower North Island experienced broadcasts of pig grunts and abuse.

(AllHipHop News) Dr. Dre waited 16 years to release a follow-up to 1999’s 2001 album. It was expected that the legendary producer/rapper would drop the long-delayed Detox at that time, but fans got the Straight Outta Compton movie companion project Compton instead.

According to ESPN‘s Chris Haynes, Dre could still release the fabled LP. The NBA reporter spoke with the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer about Detox potentially remaining in the vault.

On Tuesday, Haynes tweeted, “I asked Dr. Dre if Detox is permanently shelved and he replied, ‘I’m working on a couple songs right now. We’ll see.'”

(AllHipHop News) G-Eazy has become the latest celebrity to end his partnership with H&M. The Swedish retail clothing store has been under fire for using a promotional photo of a black boy wearing a hoodie with the words “Coolest Monkey In The Jungle” on the front.

Previously, R&B/Pop singer The Weeknd and actor Jesse Williams parted ways with H&M over the controversy. G-Eazy’s collaboration with the company was reportedly set to launch on March 1.

The “No Limit” rapper posted on Instagram:

Over the past months I was genuinely excited about launching my upcoming line and collaboration with @HM… Unfortunately, after seeing the disturbing image yesterday, my excitement over our global campaign quickly evaporated, and I’ve decided at this time our partnership needs to end. Whether an oblivious oversight or not, it’s truly sad and disturbing that in 2018, something so racially and culturally insensitive could pass by the eyes of so many (stylist, photographer, creative and marketing teams) and be deemed acceptable. I can’t allow for my name and brand to be associated with a company that could let this happen. I hope that this situation will serve as the wake up call that H&M and other companies need to get on track and become racially and culturally aware, as well as more diverse at every level.

(AllHipHop News) Blac Chyna has accused the Kardashians of using their “fame, wealth and power” to come after her as the reality star’s lawsuit against the reality stars rumbles on.

Chyna is suing Rob Kardashian, the father of her 13-month-old daughter Dream, as well as his mother Kris Jenner and sister Kim Kardashian for a litany of alleged offenses, including claims that he physically attacked her twice in April, which she detailed in legal papers filed in July when she was granted a temporary restraining order against the reality star.

Rob denied Chyna’s claims and requested the dismissal of the lawsuit in his response filed last month (Dec17).

In addition, Chyna is suing the Kardashians over claims they deliberately sabotaged her reality show with Rob, “Rob & Chyna,” meaning it wasn’t picked up for a second season.

And in new documents as part of the lawsuit, Chyna states that she was unprepared for the lengths the Kardashians would go to “take her down.”

“The unwritten rule no one told (her) when she began her relationship with Kardashian is that the entire family will come after you if you leave, using their fame, wealth and power to take you down, including getting your television show canceled (despite great ratings), spreading lies about you, and even funding a bogus lawsuit about a crumbled gingerbread house,” Chyna said in the documents.

She continues to claim that the family was determined to destroy her career so that she’d be no competition for them on social media or in a commercial market.

However, the Kardashians previously requested the lawsuit be thrown out, saying that Chyna was responsible for the cancellation of the E! series once she got the restraining order against Rob, thereby limiting her interaction with her ex and his family.

Sources at the network previously claimed they have email evidence confirming that Chyna’s “impossible” behavior, such as refusing to be in the same room as Rob, meant there was no plausible way they could push forward with a second season.

E! is also said to have been unhappy with the poor ratings the program attracted.

(AllHipHop News) Actress Zoe Kravitz proved there is no bad blood with her rumored ex-boyfriend Drake by cuddling up to the rapper at a Golden Globes afterparty on Sunday.

The “Big Little Lies” star was celebrating the show’s four top prizes, including best-limited TV series, at the Netflix bash, where she ran into her old flame.

In video footage, they can be seen embracing while chatting to another guest, while Zoe danced next to the DJ booth as Drake took over the turntables and played “Show You The Money” by Nigerian singer Wizkid, the hip-hop star’s “One Dance” and “Come Closer” collaborator.

Zoe and Drake were previously romantically linked in 2013, after attending a Beyonce concert together, and in 2014, she shared a candid photo of the pair pulling faces for the camera as she wished the Canadian MC a happy birthday.

She remained coy about the relationship rumors during an appearance on U.S. talk show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in June, when she was quizzed about the get-together.

“We hung out for a minute, but we are very good friends,” she said, prompting host Andy Cohen to ask, “You hung out, like, mashed (had sex) a little bit?”

“We hung out a little bit. You know, it’s like how I hang out, I don’t know how you hang out!” the star responded, adding, “He’s a cutie!”

Zoe has since been dating actor Karl Glusman, and the couple celebrated its one-year anniversary at the Emmy Awards in September.

(AllHipHop News) “I’m tryin’ to give you a million dollars worth of game for $9.99,” raps Jay-Z on “The Color Of O.J.” Author Ash Exantus, aka Ash Cash, is now offering that game in the form of a $14.99 paperback book.

The Wake Up Call: Financial Inspiration Learned from 4:44 + A Step by Step Guide on How to Implement Each Financial Principle was inspired by Jay’s Grammy-nominated album 4:44. Cash spoke to HipHopDX about his latest writings focusing on the economic growth of African-Americans.

“My inspiration for the book was that Jay was giving so much knowledge about how you can become financially free… as an individual as well as how we (as a culture) can break the cycle of poverty in our community,” said the self-described personal finance expert. “Because some of the concepts may be new to some of us, I wanted to expound more on the blueprint that Jay gave us (pun intended). In essence, Jay gave us the ‘what.’ My goal with the book was to give the ‘how.’”

The description for the The Wake Up Call on Amazon reads:

The Wake Up Call: Financial Inspiration Learned from 4:44 + A Step by Step Guide on How to Implement Each Financial Principle, is a book designed to teach African-Americans how to manage money more effectively and how to build generational wealth. Jay-Z’s 4:44 is the blueprint to bridging the wealth gap & solving economic inequalities for African-Americans! Through deciphering all of the financial concepts delivered within the album, readers will be taught about: • How to Build Credit to Use as Leverage • How to Spend Money Wisely • Cooperative Economics and How to Start a Business • Creating Multiple Streams of Income • How to Invest Money in Order For it To Grow • How to Pass Down Wealth to the Next Generation

(AllHipHop News) Los Angeles rhymer Nipsey Hussle found himself in the middle of an online firestorm following a caption he posted on Instagram. The newly signed Atlantic Records rapper expressed his views about the perception of black men in the media, but his comment about gay men offended some social media users.

Nipsey wrote on IG:

Demonstration speaks louder than Conversation. They gone feed us every image of our men and boys but this one. No hyper violent…No h### sexual…No abandoners….JUS STRONG BLAC MEN AND YOUNG Men. RESPECT TO MY BIG HOMIE @bigu1 for Leading with love and intelligence. GOD IS WITH US WHO CAN GO AGAINST US

That statement led to some backlash over the perceived suggestion that homosexuals are weak as well as being on par with violent men and absentee fathers. Nipsey ended up going back and forth on Twitter with social activist DeRay Mckesson, who is openly gay.

DeRay posted:

.@NipseyHussle’s homophobia is more common than one would hope. In his comments are the idea that to be a gay black man means that one cannot be strong — that strength is elusive to gay black men. How does who I love change my ability to wield and/or challenge power? To many, gay black men are tools, not peers. It’s how homophobia folks can still buy the clothes of gay designers, etc. They are tools, objects to be used for a purpose. But they are not peers, people equally worthy of respect. I’m speaking on this today because I remember being a kid and being surrounded by people who tried to convince us that homophobia was really just love repackaged — that they were just trying to prepare us for the real world, where we’d need to be strong. Homophobia kills, too. I’ve stood in the streets fighting for people who don’t see me as a whole person. And I know that I continue to fight for people with whom I disagree. But I also know that we will never build a community of justice that’s rooted in ideas that kill people. So, let us think about masculinity of men as more than the pathway(s) of the penis. And let us unpack and overcome the homophobia that continues to quietly harm so many. Check your friends and family as they say and do homophobic things. And check-in on your friends.

Nipsey then replied:

I used my “platform” to publicize an example of the less represented image of our Men and Boys and “The mainstream media” in the form of anti homophobia gets offended? You know that reinforces my original point bro?

The two exchange more tweets over the topic with DeRay adding:

You listed three qualities as equally negative — violent, gay, & abandoner — and as the opposite of strong. What made you assume everyone in the picture was straight? Are you saying that to be against homophobia is to succumb to “the mainstream media”?

Nipsey responded:

I listed 3 quality’s OVER represented in the mainstream media’s narrative of what a Blac man is…point out the 1st lie? 2.i never assumed they were all strait I NOTED THAT THEY WERNT being FRAMED by the MEDIA-(me being the media in this case) as gay. 3. I have no opinion about what a persons sexual preference is that’s they GOD GIVEN right and I’m not God. Now if we can’t AGREE THAT LIFE IMITATES ART and the balanced representation of OUR PEOPLE IS IMPORTANT THEN we will agree to disagree and wish each other the best

DeRay stated:

I’ve never thought that gay black men were *overrepresented* in the media. But the original point is that gay is not a bad thing, not synonymous with violent/abandoner and not the opposite of strong.

Nipsey concluded:

I don’t look down on gay people I love all Gods children foreal. I take issue with the larger agenda.and I’m VERY WELL INFORMED contrary to my appearance. And my conclusion is there’s AN AGENDA…we can go fact for fact and get u some understanding if you’d like. If not God bless.

DeRay added a final comment on the exchange:

It’s exhausting to see people defend homophobia with all types of random arguments. I’m hoping that this isn’t a glimpse into the rest of 2018.

(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar took the helm for the upcoming Black Panther: The Album. The TDE recording artist already gave a taste of what to expect on the project with “All The Stars” featuring SZA.

Fans of the Compton rapper and the African Marvel character got another sample of the soundtrack last night. A new trailer for the motion picture, featuring an unheard song by Kendrick and fellow West Coaster Vince Staples, debuted during the College Football National Championship Game.

“Marvel Studios’ Black Panther is amazing, from its cast to its director,” said Lamar in a statement. “The magnitude of this film showcases a great marriage of art and culture. I’m truly honored to contribute my knowledge of producing sound and writing music alongside Ryan and Marvel’s vision.”

Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is scheduled to hit theaters on February 16. Tickets are now available via Fandago.

(AllHipHop News) After Eminem’s Revival arrived in December, 2 Chainz wondered out loud why he wasn’t featured on the project. Em attempted to rectify the omission by adding the Atlanta spitter to a remix of “Chloraseptic.”

Surprisingly, the new version of the record caused a rift between two different emcees that once connected to Shady Records. D12’s Bizarre used the “Chloraseptic (Remix)” to blast Joe Budden, suggesting the cut was a diss directed at the former Everyday Struggle host.

“Never bite the hand [that] feed u.. I never like to do anyway chump [Joe Budden],” wrote Bizarre on Twitter. “Make sure u keep up that same Energy [Joe Budden] dont get quiet now.. f-cking clown.”

Budden was openly critical of Eminem and his music last year. The podcaster reacted to Bizarre’s carping in a series of tweets that have since been deleted.

“Biz u aint spoke to Em in at least 10 years, u better relax n-gga before you make me angry,” tweeted Budden. “Biz… i love you… i will also beat the dog sh-t outta u in Detroit.”

Bizarre responded on Instagram by posting, “This Disloyal b-tch ass n-gga [Joe Budden] talking sh-t .. we should never let u come around the squad … we should let swift punch y’all ass when had the chance.”

(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar was selected to be ESPN’s televised halftime entertainer at this year’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game in Atlanta. The show included Kung Fu Kenny running through “DNA” “Element,” and “Humble.”

Besides those tracks from DAMN, Lamar also performed the new song “All The Stars” off the forthcoming Black Panther: The Album. Fellow Top Dawg Entertainment artist SZA appears on the studio version of the record.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Method Man has joined the cast of the “Shaft” reboot.

Richard Roundtree, who portrayed the character in the original 1971 Gordon Parks film, and Samuel L. Jackson, who played his nephew in a 2000 remake from John Singleton, are reprising their roles in the new film and the Wu-Tang Clan star, real name Clifford Smith, will play an old friend of Jackson’s character.

Jessie T. Usher will portray detective John Shaft’s son, while Regina Hall and Alexandra Shipp will also appear in the film.

“Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris has written the script, which features Usher’s character reuniting with his father on a law enforcement case.

John Davis was previously recruited to direct the remake before filmmaker Tim Story took over the project last year.

It is slated for release in June 2019.

(AllHipHop News) Top R&B singer The Weeknd is taking a stand against H&M and is cutting ties with the company over a racist ad.

H&M is at the center of controversy, over an image of an African-American child with the words “coolest monkey in the jungle” emblazoned across a green hoodie.

To make matters worse, two other tops in the line featured young white kids, with the words “survival experts” on their chests.

The image immediately drew widespread outrage and was condemned by celebrities ranging from Sean “Diddy” Combs to Questlove.

Earlier today, H&M issued an apology for the advertisement, but it appears their statement comes a little too late.

“This image has now been removed from all H&M channels and we apologize to anyone this may have offended,” said H&M spokeswoman Anna Eriksson.

The Weeknd, who announced a partnership with H&M in February of 2017, has officially severed his relationship with the company over the insensitive advertisement.

“woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo. i’m deeply offended and will not be working with @hm anymore,” The Weeknd revealed on Twitter.

Other outspoken celebrities like Nicki Minaj, and actor Jesse Williams, who have also worked with H&M have yet to comment on the fiasco.
