(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.
(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.
(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.

Cause of death was unknown, but the condolences flooded social media.
Big Syke was down with Tupac’s Outlawz and a member of Thug Life, but had established himself and one of the finest out of the West by the time he dropped his first album in 1990.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Jeremih has certainly been with the sh-ts! As you know, Live Nation has kicked the R&B singer off of his tour with PartyNextDoor, but we’ve learned that someone else may have played a role in Jeremih’s dismissal. OH YEAH…THIS IS HAPPENING!
We kind of understand Jeremih’s frustration of not headlining or co-headling this tour as he has more hits and has been in the game longer. However it’s PartyNextDoor’s “moment”, so the R&B crooner has had to be demoted to the humbling position of the opener. #Politics
Apparently Live Nation weren’t the only people fed up with Jeremih as newly leaked audio on the situation [obtained by Fameolous] has hit the net. In the audio a man is chronicling Jeremih’s antics and his tour demise. The man alleges that Drake was involved in getting Jeremih fired.
One time for Jeremih and this stunt double. LMAO who does that. He was fed TF up. The man also claims that PartyNextDoor was blind sighted by the whole ordeal, and he actually wanted Jeremih to remain on tour, but Drake and Live Nation were like, NOPE!
You know Drake is petty and very calculated, so we wonder will he drop some diss bars about the matter on his forthcoming project, ‘More Life.’
(AllHipHop News) It will be sometime before rapper Kodak black is allowed back to South Carolina. The rapper has been banned from the state of South Carolina as his sexual assault trial winds through the court system.

(AllHipHop Rumors) It looks like your favorite Barbie won’t be headed to reality television anytime soon.
Word on the street is that Nicki Minaj had the chance to appear on Real Housewives of New York but turned it down.
According to PageSix, Nicki was out with her boo Meek Mill at Jue Lan Club when the women from the hit reality show were filming.
“There were seven or eight of them doing two scenes at a time. Bethenny [Frankel], Tinsley, Ramona [Singer] and the Countess [LuAnn de Lesseps] were there,” an insider reports.
Nicki and Meek were apparently walking through the restaurant when Bravo producers noticed who she was. Sources claim they tried to get Miss Minaj in front of the screen, but she’s wasn’t down for the opportunity.
“They walked through the filming and [Minaj] was like, ‘Meek, keep walking. Get the f–k out of here. Go upstairs,” says an insider.
Although most of reality TV is complete garbage, Meek and Nicki would make for some interesting and entertaining television. Maybe if the check is big enough one of the rappers will give in.

However, the 36-year-old has since taken to Twitter to announce he and his fiancee will head down the aisle on October 17, 2017.
