Charlamagne Tha God Gives Himself “Donkey Of The Day” For Tomi Lahren Tweets

(AllHipHop News) Radio and TV personality Charlamagne Tha God found himself as a trending topic on Twitter on Tuesday.

The online reaction stemmed from Charlamagne posting about controversial conservative talking head Tomi Lahren.

“Would be dope if a young black or Hispanic liberal used social media to create a platform to be a voice like Tomi Lahren did,” wrote CTG.

He later added, “Would be dope if a young black or Hispanic ‘WOKE’ woman used social media to create a Platform to be a voice like Tomi Lahren did.”

Some people took issue with what they perceived to be as Charlamagne suggesting women of color needed to follow the race-baiting model that made Lahren famous.

In response to the criticism, Charlamagne gave himself “Donkey Of The Day” and clarified his statements on-air.

“I wasn’t saying anyone should be like Tomi Lahren. I’m simply saying we should build an online news platform,” stated The Breakfast Show host. “I feel we need a young, liberal, minority voice for the left.”

Charlamagne said he would take the “L” because he acknowledges there are African-American women with notable voices on platforms such as Twitter and Tumblr.

He also shouted out The Advise ShowMTV Decoded with Franchesca Ramsey, and the Last Name Basis podcast as digital media sources featuring people of color.

In addition, Charlamagne posted a message on Instagram declaring he was willing to assist women of color with online news platforms in whatever way possible.

 

 

So how we are going to create more online news platforms hosted by Women of Color? For the online news platforms hosted by women of color that already exist how can we blow them up? I’m here to assist in whatever way I can. Same way ya’ll got me on the front page of Twitter this morning surely we can bring attention to Women of Color with online news platforms….we got action or what???

Chris Brown Gets Clowned Over Gang Member Comments

(AllHipHop Rumors) I don’t know exact what Chris Brown’s get down is like in these streets, but I thought he was mostly an honorary member of the Bloods. I never thought he got beat in. I never thought he put in work. I never thought he was born into it.

However, a recent rant on Instagram has people making fun of homie. I saw Breezy on the streets of NY once and he had a white poodle. I am in no way suggesting you can’t own a poodle and still be the man in these streets, but it was a conflicting image. Anyway, tell me what you think after you see the comments below.

chris brown bhris brown
It almost seems like he’s talking about himself. I need him to change his name to “Bhris Brown.” Metaphorically speaking, of course.

They talk about a lot, including the infamous J Cole diss. Super fans will be excited to learn about when Lil Yachty he lost his virginity.

 

Young MA Got Knocked Out?

(AllHipHop Rumors) What the hell? Did Young MA get laid out flat from this other emcee Mulann Milla? Now, I try not to encourage this sort of attention, but it is the Hip-Hop way. Diss somebody with a name and then get a name yourself. This women Milla is probably a lesbian rapper. Who am I fooling? She is a lesbian that raps and feels like Young MA stole her swagger wagon. But, this is nothing new if you have been reading the rumors.

What is interesting is that she claims she knocked M.A. out, which we can’t see happening. Young M.A. is the new queen of the streets. Is this BS or real squabble worthy stuff? I don’t know. But, if you look at the video, it seems like it was over a girl. These young ladies are fighting over a young lady? You be the judge and jury.

People get knocked out every day and people lie every day.

Here is the original song.

See Why Soulja Boy Gonna Die If He Don’t Chill!


(AllHipHop Rumors)
See, this beefing stuff is all fun and “Games” until a big G gets into it. That was me trying too be witty. It looks like OG Wack 100 has issued a warning to Soulja Boy, as lil homie (is SB still a lil homie)? Anyway, the dude is pulling out guns and talking about how he was heavy in the streets. OK.

Just last night, the internet was awakened as SB targeted Quavo from The Migos. Well. Wack100 jumped in, through social media of course, to let it be known there is a “hands off Quavo” policy in Hip-Hop. In fact, I was just thinking about fighting all three of The Migos. Now, I’m not. Jokes aside, here is what Wack said:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNsafcblFaq

Anyway, I feel bad for SB. He’s a cool lil’ dude that seems to want press and attention.Well here it is.

For the record, I don’t wish death on nobody except George Zimmerman.

Your move, Soulja.

Fabolous Talks Staying Competitive In Modern Hip Hop (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) There are rap devotees that claim Hip Hop is a young person’s sport. Others say the culture has reached a point where old heads are just as valuable to its evolution.

Veteran emcee Fabolous did an interview with DoggieDiamondsTV where he talked about competing in the modern rap game.

“I don’t lead you astray. I gotta make money too. I gotta be competitive to what’s going on,” explained Fab. “I gotta stay relevant to what these young kids are listening to. Hip Hop gets younger every day. I get older every day.”

The “Lituation” rhymer went on to talk about how he has to be able to make club-friendly music as well as lyric-based tracks.

“I’ve always been a versatile artist from the start. I always could f-ck with the streets. I always could f-ck with the ladies,” added Fabolous. “It wasn’t too many n-ggas who could do a joint with Bow Wow then do a joint with The Lox. That doesn’t happen.”

Fab did admit he receives feedback from some of his fans about his approach to taking on his rap peers.

“That’s the only complaint I hear the most – that I won’t put my foot on these n-ggas’ necks,” stated the 39-year-old Brooklynite.

Soulja Boy Vs Everybody: Soulja Boy Threatens Migos Member Quavo

(AllHipHop Rumors) Your favorite rapper Soulja Boy is back at it again with the bull.

At this point, it’s clearly Soulja Boy vs. THE WORLD.

Soulja Boy just can’t “get right” we swear. The rapper took to Instagram yesterday to post screenshots of a conversation between himself and Migos member, Quavo, about not rocking with people 100% and fake kicking it.

Soulja Boy proceeded to remind Quavo that he introduced him to Travis Scott and Sean Kingston before escalating the texts to threats of violence. It also seems like Quavo distanced himself from Soulja in favor of backing Lil Yachty. When Soulja said he didn’t know there was beef, Quavo responded saying beef is a whole ‘nother ball game.

SB invited Quavo to pull up, but apparently he was a no-show. Soulja Boy has even dropped a diss song called “Beef” aimed at Quavo.

“Quavo say he want some beef with me, huh? F-ck Quavo, f-ck Migos, pull on your block with a Draco,” raps Soulja Boy.

Soulja only gives Quavo a verse as he explains that it’s all the “p-ssy-a-s n-gga” deserves. Can’t we all just get along?!

Soulja Boy is even alleging that Quavo is upset with him over him beefing with Lil Yachty over India Love. He also claims that Quavo stole his swag.

If that wasn’t enough, Soulja Boy is upset about the Migos dissing Famous Dex, and he even calls them out by saying they aren’t really from Atlanta.

“Y’all n-ggas don’t even get a second verse, p####-a-s n-gga. You only get one verse, n-gga. You’re calling my phone, talking about you want some beef, n-gga, talking about you don’t wanna fake kick it? F### you talking about n-gga? I ain’t get that way from y’all b-tch-a-s n-ggas. I get that way from Famous Dex, y’all was dissing Famous Dex in y’all song, ‘Your artist be stealing my swag,’ you’re talking about Rich The Kid artist, that’s Famous Dex, y’all n##### is h-es,” says SB.

Y’all are beefing through text messages now?! Someone get Soulja Boy some help.

The Ladies Are Upset With Drake & French Montana

(AllHipHop Rumors) Drake & French Montana are soooo reckless, and now they’ve admitted it. LOL.

Both Drake and French are known to roll with their crews, and with any crew you will have a whole ‘nother crew of ladies.

With being an entertainer and dealing with your lady friends, it’s clearly a must to set rules and clear understandings in place.

Drake clearly had time as he took some time out to craft what he calls the ’10 Snipe Commandments’ for he and the bros to govern themselves accordingly when dealing with the groupies, random hook ups, flings, one night stands, situationships, thots, tricking etc.

French Montanta liked the Bro-Code so much that he took time to print it out, frame it, and hang it on the wall at his home.

Oh yeah and your favorites also like to “splash” raw. These rappers aren’t going to learn to stop fooling around by having unprotected sex until they catch something they can’t shake off. You can’t depend on a vibe to protect you from unplanned children or sexually transmitted diseases.

The females have been outraged by these rules on social media and I guess outraged by how men and their favorite rappers really think. Check out the rules below. Fellas do you and your crew adhere to these rules?!

-Thou shall never pillow talk or discuss business with a ting.

-On any import from the United States, Canada, Europe, or any other region, thou shall practice a maximum three-day export rule to avoid frustration.

-Thou shall always be honest with a brother about a splash.

-Thou shall never tell a ting about another man’s splash in order to execute his own splash.

-Thou shall only splash unprotected if it’s a must splash or you are too fry or you trust the vibe or you plan to keep the vibe for a minimum of six months with four interactions within the allotted time period.

-Thou shall always lie to protect a brother’s reputation or the chance of a splash conversion in the near or distant future.

-Thou shall be allowed to hunt in all jungles unless a trespass has been enforced verbally.

-Thou shall always provide splash accommodations for a brother within his household.

-Thou shall use communication with a brother to avoid being blindsided by other hunters and poachers

-Thou shall never use hand to hand currency exchange to guarantee a splash unless hunting in exotic locations.
