Stay Woke: Jay Z, Biggie and the Hypnotizing Effect of Hip Hop

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 6:37pmCategory: Editorial

“Biggie Biggie Biggie Can’t you see/Sometimes your words just hypnotize me.” – Notorious BIG

It was June 30, 2017 and Rashad Jackson had just sat down to listen to the new Jay Z album. Although he heard a loud ruckus outside his bedroom window, he ignored it thinking it was just a bunch of overzealous Jay Z fans who were just as eager to download 444 as he was. That was until the Feds kicked down his door and told him that they were arresting every black male in his hood for suspected criminal activity…. One of the most effective tactics of the oppressor is the art of distraction. Kinda like when you were a kid and the doctor told you to “watch the birdie” while he stuck that long needle in your left arm. Politically, this country has mastered the art of having you looking up in the sky while they pickpocket your wallet. They have mastered the art of hypnotizing the masses. Entertainment has always been used as a way to distract people. Some people have alleged that it was no mere coincidence that Louis Armstrong was on tour in Africa via the State Department at approximately the same time Patrice Lumumba was assassinated. Domestically, it is no secret that James Brown was used to keep Black people from rioting in the streets after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. However, in the Trump era distraction seems to be in overdrive. Last month, on June 16th, while Tupac Shakur fans across the country were busy putting extra butter on their popcorn at the premiere of the biopic All Eyez on Me, Donald Trump asked Cuba to extradite Tupac’s godmother, Assata Shakur, something that the government has been trying, unsuccessfully, to do for about 40 years. More recently, Shawn Carter fans were too busy trying to subscribe to his Tidal streaming service to see the tidal wave of repression that was headed their way. On June 30th , Trump announced that he was sending in federal agents to help stop the violence in Chicago aka Chiraq. While the average American may think that this is a good thing, history teaches us otherwise. The “get tough on crime” policies have never really worked out for black people in a society funded largely by the Prison Industrial Complex. Yes, the mass incarceration of black men in AmeriKKKa is big business. Also, it cannot be disputed that both Ronald Reagan’s “War on Drugs,” which happened during the same time the CIA was, allegedly, pumping crack into South Central LA, and Bill Clinton’ s “Three Strikes Law” were epic fails. We must , also , never forget that the power structure has a real hard time differentiating between criminal activity and civil disobedience and protest, This goes back to the Richard Nixon Era when “Tricky Dick” spent more time trying to bring down the Black Panther Party than stopping the heroin epidemic that was wrecking havoc on the ‘hood. Ironically, also on June 30th, as the media were just getting wind of the new National Rife Association’s recruitment video which used footage of the Baltimore Rebellion to scare white folk into supporting the Po Po and picking up an extra double barreled shotgun to protect themselves. I’m surprised that they didn’t try to use Nas’s Got Yourself a Gun as theme music. What is especially alarming about the NRA call to arms is their strong pro Second Amendment stance has always endeared them to the anti-government white militias (and some black folk) who believe that at any moment the Feds are gonna come snatch up all their weapons. Even early Black Power advocate Robert Williams was a card carrying member of the NRA. So, to see them in bed with the Feds is strange indeed. But as they say “politics makes strange bedfellows.” Am I saying that the Tupac movie release and the Jay Z album dates were, intentionally , part of a grand conspiracy to put the newly “woke” back to sleep. Of course not. Distractions only work on those who are easily distracted. But what I am saying is to be black in America means that you are always being suckered into a crooked game of Three Card Monte with the deck stacked against you.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 6:18pmCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) JAY-Z’s rollout for his 4:44 album continues to be a near-daily experience following the project’s release on June 30.

Daz Dillinger & L.T. Hutton Go In On John Singleton Following ‘All Eyez On Me’ Script Leak

By: ClassicOne Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 5:50pmCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Every time the controversy surrounding the Tupac biopic, ‘All Eyez On Me’, seems to die down, something else sparks it up.

The reviews from the long-awaited biopic have been divided, with most being negative. For months there has been much talk about why John Singleton was allegedly fired from directing the biopic, and what was allegedly found in his script.

Now several parts of what has been said to be John Singleton’s script have leaked online. Remember, Singleton came under fire when the producer of the biopic, L.T. Hutton stated that Singleton had a script that wanted to show Pac getting raped in jail, and Pac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, having a threesome.

Daz Dillinger and L.T. Hutton had a little bit of time on their hands as they proceeded to blast John!

Daz posted excerpts from the alleged script, stating that Tupac would’ve beat John’s ass over the script. He also expressed that rape is no laughing matter.

“THIS IS THE @johnsingleton SCRIPT ? @2pac would have beat his azzz over this,” said Daz.

Singleton decided to respond to not only Daz but to everyone who is so concerned with his script. He asked why are people so concerned with a script that didn’t end up making the movie, and he expressed that he allegedly worked on the script with Afeni Shakur.

He also goes on to criticize the film again by saying that it was supposed to be our ‘Malcom X’ film. Singleton says he would’ve never done anything to destroy Tupac’s legacy, and that folks are out here giving passes to the very same folks who messed up the film, and failed to honor the man’s legacy.

L.T. responded by saying that John never watched the movie or worked with Afeni. Hutton says that the deal for the film was done in 2011, and Singleton didn’t come on until 2013-2014.

The entire way this film was handled and made is sketchy. Carry on. Someone is lying!

Diddy’s Lawyers Say Mogul Refuses to Be Extorted By Ex-Chef In Harassment Lawsuit Reply

By: Mike Winslow Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 5:27pmCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyers have slammed his former chef’s sexual harassment lawsuit as a bid to “extract a settlement.”

Cindy Rueda filed a complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court in May (17) alleging she was asked to serve meals to the rapper and or his friends while they were having sex and was subsequently framed for theft and fired after she complained about it.

Lawyers for the 46-year-old music mogul have now formally responded to the lawsuit in a letter to her lawyers penned by his attorney Orin Snyder and filed with the court.

“Combs enterprises will not be extorted,” the letter, obtained by editors at the New York Daily News, reads.

Accusing Rueda’s suit of being, “infected with distortions, omissions and outright falsehoods” he added, “Your motives are clear: To threaten to slander and impugn the reputation of our client in the hopes of extracting a settlement. This smacks of bad faith – and worse.”

The chef, who worked for Combs from January 2015 until May last year, is suing the rapper for wrongful termination, sexual harassment, retaliation, defamation, failure to pay overtime and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other claims.

In her complaint, Rueda alleged that while employed by the rapper she had been, “regularly summoned by Mr. Combs to prepare and serve entrees and appetizers to him and his guests while Mr. Combs and/or his guests were engaged in or immediately following sexual activity.”

She claims her firing came after the music mogul’s executive housekeeper Iris offered her a watch she said had been found in the trash.

Having taken the timepiece Rueda says she was subsequently accused of theft and told she would not be prosecuted if she returned it and signed a legal waiver.

The chef states that she returned the watch but refused to sign the waiver and was subsequently fired.

In his letter Snyder called the allegation she was framed “particularly outrageous.”

Combs’ legal paperwork requested court officials schedule a hearing for August of 2017.

Kanye West Reportedly Still Has Love For His “Brother” Jay-Z

By: ClassicOne Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 5:10pmCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) From concert breakdowns, and album disses, it’s been hard to make out the current status of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s relationship.

Kanye called Jay-Z and Beyonce out during his string of breakdown-fueled rants last year, and Jay-Z put him in his place on his ‘4:44’ album.

For some reason, I still didn’t take it as their relationship was completely over. I felt it was fair and strategic game for Hov to respond, and I still view the entire thing as a little bit of brotherly beef. When it’s familial, folks can often make up.

Well, 2 Chainz has revealed that Kanye West told him that he still views Jay-Z as his brother in a recent visit to the West family.

2 Chainz told DJ Drama,

“Yeah Jay-Z came up….. For the most part bro was like we still brothers. He had a couple things that was probably personal that he wanted me to keep. We talked about the music, the climate right now. For me it was going through all the pink trap house pics. When you get around Ye, it’s about being creative.”

It sounds like the drama between Ye and Jay will all boil over. Maybe Jay will bring Yeezy out on the ‘4:44’ tour! What are your thoughts?

Did Tyler The Creator Just Come Out As Gay?

By: ClassicOne Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 4:47pmCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Wait a minute!

Tyler The Creator has had a lot of stuff to say over his WILD career, but uh, I don’t know if we are going to believe this one yet.

Tyler was set to release his long-awaited album, ‘Flower Boy’ in a few weeks, however, folks couldn’t wait, and the project leaked.

With the leak of the project, the ‘net took notice of some of the lyrics in the song, “I Ain’t Got Time!”.

“Next line will have ’em like ‘Whoa’ / I been kissing white boys since 2004,”

Tyler does like to troll a lot so who knows?! Another song called “Garden Shed” was interesting as well.

“That was real love I was in, Ain’t no reason to pretend/ All my friends was lost / They couldn’t read the signs / I didn’t want to talk / I tell ’em my location and they ain’t want to walk” a few bars later,” said Tyler.

Apparently two years ago he tried to come out of the closet also in a tweet!

“I TRIED TO COME OUT THE DAMN CLOSET LIKE FOUR DAYS AGO AND NO ONE CARED HAHAHHAHAHA,” tweeted Tyler.

Do you think Tyler is just trolling for album sales and publicity?

I TRIED TO COME OUT THE DAMN CLOSET LIKE FOUR DAYS AGO AND NO ONE CARED HAHAHHAHAHA

Is Prodigy Mural Being Permanently Removed?

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 3:06pmCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) UH OH! If you aren’t following us on Instagram, you should. For the last few days, we have been talking about people defacing the Prodigy mural. Ever since it has been put up, somebody has tossed paint on it. Well when the red paint splashed over our fallen Hip-Hop brethren, some idiot decided to throw in the towel and cover the whole mural up. Way to fight for the god.

Anyway, maybe they are going to put the mural in a better place? They need to pay homage to Prodigy. Not only did he help put Queensbridge projects on the map, he was a positive force at the end if his life. We need to continue to salute him and pay respects. 20 plus years of front line music entertainment and this is the thanks they get? SMH.

Could Jay-Z Be Ready To Sign Azealia Banks?

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 2:34pmCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) I don’t know for sure, but I think this could be categorized as Duck Tales. Azealia Banks has had a career for the ages and yet most of it does not have anything to do with her ability to rap.

At this point, social media is a cesspool of lies and misinformation GENERALLY. But those that have a voice tend to get called out on their BS since there are so many eyes on it.

Anyway, Banksy has been suspended so many times from Twitter, it seems she has been forced to adopt a new social media moniker. Seems like the “innanets” are still following. I’m gonna go on a think limb and say “issa no,” but you never know. Stranger things have happened.

Iggy Azalea Claims Def Jam Refuses To Release More Singles From Her ‘Digital Distortion’ Album

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 2:00pmCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) What a difference three years make.

Back in 2014, Iggy Azalea released her debut album The New Classic which hosted the #1 single “Fancy” featuring Charli XCX.

Now Iggy is letting her fans know that her label is done releasing singles from the proposed Digital Distortion follow-up project.

“[Def Jam CEO] Steve Bartels says he doesn’t want to release another single for my album unfortunately… So that’s that,” tweeted the Australian rapper.

Azalea added, “Sucks – savior is great. im very disappointed that’s their decision.”

While Digital Distortion has repeatedly been pushed back, Iggy insists the collection will be available at some point in the future.

“I’m very unhappy with the way things have been handled too. I will make sure it’s not this way for ia3… I can assure you guys of that,” posted Azalea. “My album isn’t canceled, it’s just not having another single. It’s still being released.”

Over the last year, the 2012 XXL Freshman Class member dropped the singles “Team,” “Mo Bounce,” and “Switch.”

Iggy Azalea and her onetime rival Azealia Banks are reportedly working on music together.

“I dont expect you guys to understand why i would collaborate with someone who has publicly said they hope i die,” Iggy offered to her 7.6 million Twitter followers about collaborating with Banks. “This has been something extremely negative for so long, if there is a way to make it positive and also be creative together, im here for it.”

Steve Bartels says he doesn’t want to release another single for my album unfortunately ? So that’s that.

Are Eminem And Dr. Dre Back In The Studio?

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 10:36amCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) The word on the street is that the dynamic duo are back! Eminem and Dr. Dre are rumored to be back in the studio and working on Em’s next album. I don’t know why, but I thought Em had retired. I guess he’s just enjoying his money and raising kids and things. At any rate, it will be interesting seeing him with this new perspective that I am sure he will have. Hopefully there is no remains of the old Eminem. ANYWAY……..

Did anybody see “The Defiant Ones” on HBO last night? It was very dope to see the dynamic between Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre. Very interesting indeed. Different paths. Common goal.

Y’all ready for Em and Dre to go riding again.

Blac Chyna Speaks With ‘Good Morning America’ About Rob Kardashian Posting Her Nude Photos (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 9:50amCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) The latest Blac Chyna/Rob Kardashian drama is entering its second week.

On July 5, Kardashian began ranting about Chyna on Instagram and Twitter.

The social media posts included the reality show star posting nude photographs of his former fiancée.

Chyna and her lawyer Lisa Bloom sat down for an interview with Good Morning America to talk about her potential legal actions.

Bloom, on behalf of her client, filed a temporary restraining order against Kardashian.

“In California, ‘revenge p###’ is a crime, a civil wrong, and a form of domestic abuse,” said the attorney.

Chyna was asked for her reaction when she learned Kardashian uploaded her naked pics to the internet.

“I was devastated, of course. I’m like how could somebody like post these pictures of me,” replied Chyna. “I’m like this is a person I trusted. I just felt… betrayed.”

According to Chyna, no one from the Kardashian family has reached out to her since Rob exposed the photos.

Kim Kardashian and Blac Chyna were once close friends.

At one time, Tyga – Chyna’s ex-boyfriend and father of her son – dated Kim and Rob’s younger sister Kylie Jenner.

Rumors circulated online that Chyna having a child with Rob was a revenge plot against Kim, Tyga, Kylie, and the rest of the Kardashian clan.

“That’s not even my character. I see all these things on the internet and I never address it, because I’m the bigger person,” stated Chyna. “Robert came at me.”

She added, “I was already Blac Chyna before the Kardashians.”

Chyna claimed she and Rob broke up in December, and she sent him a vid of herself with another man in hopes that Kardashian would leave her alone.

The video vixen also defended her right to share explicit pictures of herself without someone else being able to post private sexual images of her.

LL Cool J Is Looking To Help Troubled ‘In The House’ Co-Star Maia Campbell

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Jul 10, 2017 at 9:02amCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Maia Campbell has been living a painful life for many years.

During a 2012 episode of OWN’s Iyanla: Fix My Life, Campbell revealed she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

The former In The House actress also battled drug abuse and spent time in jail.

Campbell’s unfortunate troubles were documented online.

Recently, a video of her asking a man at a gas station for crack cocaine went viral.

LL Cool J is now looking to help his In The House co-star.

“Instead of pulling out your phone and filming someone who’s obviously having trouble. Maybe lend a helping hand? A kind word?” LL tweeted.

According to Baller Alert, the Hip Hop legend also posted online, “If someone has contact on Maia [please] let me know.”
