Eric B. & Rakim Deny Supporting Donald Trump & Endorse Hillary Clinton For President

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) The Hip Hop Twitterverse went crazy this weekend when a tweet from the verified account of Eric B. & Rakim appeared to endorse Donald Trump for president.

The legendary Hip Hop duo is insisting that is not the case.

A subsequent tweet suggested the Eric B. & Rakim Twitter page was hacked, but they were able to get control of the account again.

“We’ve taken back command of our Twitter. Thanks for your help [Twitter Support],” read one tweet.

Then a series of additional tweets went on to clarify that Trump is not the preferred candidate of the Paid In Full album creators.

In fact, the group announced they want Hillary Clinton to be the 45th President of the United States.

“We are with her. [Hillary Clinton], the next [POTUS]. Hope that’s clear enough. Deal with it,” Eric and Rakim stated.

50 Cent Posts Documents He Claims Proves Jimmy Henchman Is An Informant

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News ) James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond received great news last week when the former music manager found out his murder conviction was overturned.

However, there was some negative news about Rosemond that hit the internet this weekend.

Rosemond’s longtime nemesis 50 Cent refused to end his online attacks against Henchman.

50 uploaded three posts on Instagram he says proves Rosemond is an informant.

The documents appear to show that Rosemond informed prison authorities about attempted escape by four inmates.

AllHipHop.com cannot confirm if the court papers 50 Cent presented are authentic.

“Here is the paperwork on OG rat Jimmy. Vlad scared of that fool, saying 50 called you a rat. Read the paper fool. He been telling since the [1990’s],” wrote 50 in one picture’s caption.

The G-Unit leader added in another caption, “Damn it man, got his girl helping him rat.”

50’s third IG post’s caption read, “So now you can see who Jimmy is. He been telling a long time now. If he keep talking I got some more of his sh-t to show.”

Rosemond was initially convicted for being part of a murder-for-hire plot that led to the killing of G-Unit associate  Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher before his attorneys got the conviction thrown out.

While he earned a victory in that case, Rosemond is still serving a life sentence for supposedly heading the drug trafficking operation called the Rosemond Organization.

Rosemond also contends he is innocent of those charges.

Here is the paper work on OG Rat Jimmy. Vlad scared of that fool, saying 50 called you a rat. Read the paper fool. He been telling since the 90. ???

Nacho Picasso & Harry Fraud Release New Project “AntiHero Vol. 1”

By: Mike DeBlasioCategory: Music

Well-known producer Harry Fraud assists Seattle emcee Nacho Picasso on his new project entitled “Anti Hero Vol. 1.” All 9 tracks were executive-produced by Harry and exclusively premiered by Mass Appeal. Here’s what Nacho had to say about the LP;

“I’ve kinda always been regarded as a villain, but I’ve evolved a lot since my early days, and I understand the universe way more now, than I did when I first got in the game. Anti Hero represents that.

Songs like ‘Lizard King Jr’ show my weird, paranoid conspiracy theorist side while displaying my unorthodox wordplay and drugged out sexcapades. ‘Grunge’ is close to my to my lil heart! I rarely do emo songs cause I’m lightskint and emo enough but this one reflects on my current struggles with who I am, while paying homage to my city.

‘Voices In My Head,’ is my Nacho Kubrick s###…My Edgar Allen ‘Poe-up!’ This is a scary story I made up in my head on some American Psycho/The Shining s###!’ The Anti Hero is the ‘rebirth of Nacho.”

Donald Trump Disses Jay Z and Makes Fun Of Hillary’s Cleveland Rally (VIDEO)

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Donald Trump blasted Jay Z earlier today during a campaign stop in Tampa, Florida, just one day after the rap mogul made a high-profile appearance at a rally with Hillary Clinton in Cleveland.

Donald Trump chided the Hip-Hop superstar for the foul language he used during his uncensored performance of “FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt” and “Dirt Off Your Shoulders” at Hillary’s rally.

“I actually like Jay Z, but you know, the language last night. Oh. Oh. I was thinking, maybe I’ll just try it?” Donald Trump said. “Should I use that language for one event? Can you imagine if I said that?” Trump rhetorically asked a crowd at a rally in Tampa, Florida.”

Donald Trump also made fun of the crowd that attended Hillary’s rally in Cleveland last night, which drew around 10,000 people, who came to see performances by Jay Z, Big Sean, Beyonce, Chance the Rapper and others.

“In Hershey, Pennsylvania, last night, we had an arena, we had 27,000 people show up, many couldn’t get in,” Donald Trump said. “Far more than Jay Z had with their free tickets. Free tickets! Far more. And Beyonce. And I like the both, but he used language last night that was so bad. I’ve never said he he’s said in my life. But that shows you the phoniness of politicians and the phoniness of the whole system, folks.”

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Veteran producer Salaam Remi is launching a new music platform to help a variety of hand-picked emerging artists receive a valuable boost to their careers.

Salaam’s label Louder Than Life’s new “Do It For The Culture” is planning on dropping 50 songs every few months for the next few years.

The producer is looking to discover new artists from all genres straight off of the streets, or through valuable, trusted co-signs.

“I have a sweet spot for singer songwriters and for people who make music that is outside of the norm,” Salaam Remi told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “I will continue to provide that option for artists out there so people don’t feel as if they are required to fit the mold of today’s pop trends. I look forward to giving more artists a shot at doing what they do best not just for myself, but for the culture.”

So far, current releases from the “Do It For The Culture” campaign are out from NO PANTY (Nitty Scott, Bodega Bamz, Joell Ortiz), The Champagne Flutes, Sex All Summer, Miraa May, Elle Varner, Mack Wilds, Miguel, and BJ The Chicago Kid.

Salaam, who has worked with The Fugees, Nas, Amy Winehouse, Fergie, Estelle, Miguel, Alicia Keys, is also developing a new crop of artists, including Algerian-born/London raised singer Miraa May.

“I get excited by the reaction that we got from people, which is why I decided to put out more music – ‘for the culture’.”
