Beyonce Shades The Hell Out Of Kim Kardashian

(AllHipHop Rumors) A report by the Associated News has revealed that Beyonce is not really feeling Kim Kardashian, even in the midst of giving birth to twins.

The twins have already been showered with love, gifts and all sorts of media coverage. I know that Kanye and Jay are the link here, but this seems to be a huge rift. KK gave Beyonce over $10,000 in her and Kanye’s clothing line. On top of it all, Kim sent Beyonce a KKW contouring kits, in a gold box that has a street value of $150,000.

By the way, I don’t know what a contouring kit is, but a quick search on google says its make up. Why would she send Beyonce that? ANYWAY!

However, Beyonce did a good deed with all the stuff she got. She allegedly gave all of the clothing to people that worked at the hospital! That’s when you have money!

A source told Heat magazine, the facts as they heard it:

“She thought that, because they weren’t even out yet, Bey would love it. She also sent about $10k worth of clothes for Blue from her and Kanye’s sold-out children’s fashion line and she’d had some pieces specially tailored for the infants.”

Wu-Tang Clan Talks Prodigy, Current New York Emcees & Mumble Rappers (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Members of the Wu-Tang Clan recently sat down with Montreality.

The legendary Hip Hop crew discussed the passing of Prodigy, New York City emcees, and “mumble rappers.”

“Havoc and Prodigy both were advanced beyond their years, some emcees don’t get good until they’re 25, but at 19 the kid was already nice,” said RZA.

Raekwon added, “Me and Prodigy had a relationship for over 20 years…  I always told him, his ear for beats was golden. That’s my family right there.”

The Wu then mentioned some of their favorite current rappers from NYC.

Dave East, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Young M.A, Joey Bada$$, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, and Uncle Murda got shout outs from the Staten Island representatives.

When asked about the sub-genre that has become known as mumble rap, RZA responded with support for the artists connected to the description.

“Music is music. We come from an era where you had to have dope lyrics, but we don’t discriminate,” stated the production wizard. “They can co-exist. And what is mumble rap? Who made that title? I bet the guys who’s doing it, they didn’t call it mumble rap. That’s what the media calls it. Let them make their music and have fun.”

RZA then offered some advice, “To anybody out there who’s sipping on that syrup that’s making you mumble, leave the syrup alone.”

Kanye West Reportedly Planning To Resume Touring In Early 2018

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West’s 2016 “Saint Pablo Tour” ended abruptly following his reported mental breakdown last fall.

According to TMZ, Kanye is in talks to return to the road in early 2018 with new effects and a new set list.

A source connected to Live Nation told the website, “We’re ready to jump as soon as he gives the green light.”

West officially canceled 21 dates of the “Saint Pablo Tour” in November.

Soon after, he was hospitalized at UCLA Medical Center for exhaustion and psychiatric observation.

The 40-year-old Chicago native is apparently healthy now.

Reports began circulating in January that Kanye was interested in continuing his tour at that time.

Ye has mostly remained away from the public spotlight over the last several months, but the “All Day” rhymer was said to be working on a new album at a Wyoming mountaintop retreat.

In a February interview, G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T confirmed his boss is recording new music.

Kanye’s last studio LP was 2016’s platinum-certified The Life of Pablo.

Kap G Announces Joint Mixtape With Chris Brown (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Chris Brown just teamed up with Ray J for the Burn My Name mixtape.

Apparently, the R&B superstar is next set to drop another joint project with 2017 XXL Freshman Kap G.

“Me and Chris Brown are releasing a mixtape soon, and right now, I’m just working on my album,” Kap told the publication.

The Pharrell Williams protégé already has a discography that includes Real Migo Sh*t, Like a Mexican, El Southside, and SupaJefe.

Kap G was also featured in the Pharrell-produced film Dope.

“They said, ‘I want you to audition for this Dope movie.’ I was like, ‘Cool, I’m with it.'” explained the Atlanta representative in a 2016 interview with AllHipHop.com. “I play a character named Fidel. He’s like this Mexican gangster dude. They didn’t really want me to play it at first. They wanted more of the typical cholo with a bald head and tattoos all over. They gave me a try, and when I got on set they were happy with what I did.”

Besides rapping and acting, Kap G is also one of the faces of Sprite’s new “Cold Lyrics Series” campaign, along with Vince Staples, Vic Mensa, D.R.A.M., Lil Yachty, and Kamaiyah.

Mack Derico – “Hyperbolic Time Chamber 2” (Mixtape)

Here’s what he had to say about the effort;

“I want people to listen to HTC2 and feel the rage and the emotion in my voice from my music, this is important. I even want listeners to hear this and not be afraid to be 100% themselves no matter what just as I am. As long as I’ve given somebody something to relate to or to make their day better I’m forever satisfied.”

Irv Gotti Defends Controversial Lynching Scene In ‘Tales’

(AllHiphop Rumors) The first episode of Irv Gotti’s BET Show ‘Tales’ was packed with all kinds of shockers and plot twists.

As if Brody Jenner hanging from a tree, lynched, wasn’t enough, the entire episode flipped society and it’s racism and discrimination.

The first episode was based on N.W.A.’s “F- tha Police” lyrics, but producers flipped the races.

The violent and discriminatory cops as well as the rich people were all black. The white people were switched to be the minority living in the projects.

Irv is taking Hip Hop songs and turning them into episodes. Apparently Irv Gotti chose to make the first episode the way he did in hopes that white people would understand the problems still existing in our society, if these things were done to white people.

Irv wanted white people and other races to have a little bit more compassion when innocent black people get shot and killed.

What did you think about the series and the lynching part?

“I wanted to explain this scene. I put it in the ending Riot scene at the end with D’Angelo “How Does It Feel” playing. Because I wanted to show in reverse. What Hollywood always shows Black People. Reminds us of the fact that our ancestors Hung from a Tree. So it goes with the whole Race Reversal Vibe of the episode. And who did I call to get hung. MY F###### BROTHER. @brodyjenner who was totally down for what I was trying do. And the message I was trying to get across. Which by the way. Is a message that what’s wrong is wrong. Doesn’t matter if someone is Black. White. Spanish. Indian. Asian. What’s wrong is wrong. And these cops need to get PUNISHED. For killing innocent people. So maybe seeing it done to White People. In this FICTIONALIZE piece. And seeing these things done to them. Maybe people will have a lil more compassion when 12 year old Tamir Rice gets gunned down. Or Philando Castillo gets killed for nothing. Or Alton Sterling and Eric Gardner. Trayvon Martin. The list is too long and needs to stop. So I thank Brody Jenner. And my brother @paul_smenus NICK CASSAVETE. Who portrayed Rodney King. I hope everyone got the message. I really want everyone to get emotional about what they seen. And remember. None of the actors got killed in this fictionalized piece. But I can continue to name the black people that are really dead. I believe in this world we in. I believe the cool people outweighs the racist m############. So that is what I tried to do. Hope you guys get it. #talesonbet #tidal #visionaryideas #hiphopculturedtv,” posted Irv.

Treach Claims Biggie Didn’t Set Up Tupac

(AllHipHop Rumors) Naughy By Nature’s Treach took a moment to reflect on the good old days of the golden era of Hip Hop with DJ Vlad.

While discussing the past, Treach took a moment to reflect on being friends with Tupac and Biggie, and their untimely deaths.

Treach made it clear that he doesn’t believe Biggie set up Pac, and he revealed that he believes that Biggie was actually afraid of some of the street dudes that were around him. Basically he explained that sometimes people could not be directly involved in a beef, but their crew may take it into their own hands.

“Once Pac introduced me to Biggie, Biggie was my n-gga. What Pac didn’t understand at the time like Biggie wasn’t a street dude n-gga. He was one of the greatest of all time and a great lyricist, but Biggie was basically telling stories of the ghetto he grew up in,” said Treach.

“Pac didn’t understand that Biggie probably feared these MF, but Biggie loved Pac, and Pac’s problem was Biggie couldn’t talk or go to none of them because he wasn’t that street n-gga……Did Biggie set Pac up, I’m gonna say hell f-cking no,” said Treach.”

Does Treach sound like he knows what he is talking about, or does it sound like he’s leaving something out?

Is BET’s Chairman & CEO Debra Lee Exiting Soon?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Wait a minute!

Days after the successful 2017 BET Awards, rumors are swirling that BET’s Chairman & CEO Debra Lee is planning to make her exit to take another job opportunity.

According to Page Six, inside sources have been making claims that the company isn’t doing well under the CEO’s leadership.

“Tons of people from Viacom were saying that her days are numbered,” claim an insider.

A source also claimed Lee moved to Los Angeles in hopes of possibly getting into some studios.

“She’s been running the place, and it’s struggling . . . There are so many layers of internal politics . . . It takes 20 calls to get through one insignificant thing,” an insider told Page Six.

Another insider told Page Six that the rumors of Lee leaving Viacom and BET are inaccurate.

Earlier this year there was a serious shake up at Viacom and BET with the former president of programming, Stephen Hill exiting, and the network being slapped with a discrimination lawsuit by employee Zola Mashariki.

The Internet Is Losing It Over Rihanna’s Alleged New Man!

(AllHipHop Rumors) And Drake wept!

Rihanna has the net buzzing as photos of her kissing a mystery man spread online. We haven’t known Rihanna to date anyone in the last few years, so this came as a surprise to everyone.

Bad gal RiRi’s Navy fan base wasted no time trying to get to the bottom of who this man was.

Apparently the man caught locking lips and making out in a Spain jacuzzi with one of our faves is Hassan Jameel, the deputy and vice chairman of his family’s business Abdul Latif Jameel Domestic. They have the right to sell Toyota cares in Saudi Arabia.

Folks have really been going crazy over the dude also because he’s reportedly a billionaire and Naomi Campbell’s ex! Rihanna and Naomi fell out about something, so maybe it’s this man.

Dude sounds like a good catch as he’s allegedly 31 with no kids and is worth 2.2 billion dollars. Oh yeah, his father is the 2nd richest man in the middle east.

Lawd Rihanna definitely took the internet by storm once these pics hit the net. I don’t think any of us were ready for Ri to have a new man, but good for her!

G-Eazy Named Partner And Co-Creative Director For Stillhouse Spirits

(AllHipHop News) Bay Area rapper G-Eazy can now add more titles to his résumé.

The man born Gerald Gillum connected with Stillhouse Spirits Co. CEO/Founder Brad Beckerman to serve as a partner and co-creative director for the award-winning whiskey business.

“Spirits companies had approached me with endorsement deals but that was just money. I kept running into Stillhouse everywhere and fell in love with the brand not to mention its smooth whiskey,” says G-Eazy. “I wanted to partner with Brad because he has this infectious energy and passion for the brand he’s continuing to grow. We hit it off quick with an instant shared vision and love for Stillhouse.”

G-Eazy’s investment in Stillhouse is his first spirits venture, and the financing closes a significant round of funding for the company.

“We had an instant bond – in my gut, I knew that G would make an amazing partner and contributor to Stillhouse because of his drive, creativity, and meticulousness,” adds Beckerman, a former Chief Creative Officer at Live Nation. “Stillhouse blends nostalgia and heritage with just the right amount of irreverence and G pushes the envelope to elevate that further.”

The next goal for the new partnership is to pursue expansion into the Louisiana market, which happens to be the location of G-Eazy’s alma mater Loyola University New Orleans.

“I’m honored and excited to represent my second home and old stomping grounds. Can’t wait for NOLA to see what we have coming!” shared the When It’s Dark Out creator.

Besides releasing his own gold/platinum albums, G-Eazy also appeared on 2017 projects by Wale (Shine) and Raekwon (The Wild).

The Atlanta native was just around 3,000 units short of topping Lorde’s Melodrama for the #1 spot on the Billboard 200.

Chainz was not able to lead that chart, but Pretty Girls Like Trap Music did earn him his third #1 on the Rap Albums Chart.

2012’s Based on a T.R.U. Story and 2013’s B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time were chart toppers as well.

“Panda” Producer Menace Apologizes To Kanye West, Future & Mike Dean

(AllHipHop News) One year ago, Adnan “Menace” Khan was known as the producer behind one of the biggest records in the country.

Desiigner reportedly paid the beat maker $200 for the track that became the G.O.O.D Music artist’s #1 hit “Panda.”

Recently, Menace has gotten more attention for his public comments than his production.

In an interview with DJ Booth, Menace claimed Atlanta rhymer Future and veteran engineer Mike Dean were pursuing legal action against him over “Panda.”

Future’s representative denied filing a copyright infringement lawsuit, and Dean stated he dropped his complaint.

Menace also implied Kanye West did not pay him for sampling “Panda” on “Father Stretch My Hands Pt.” off Ye’s The Life Of Pablo album.

“I doubt Kanye’s paid anyone, to be honest,” said Menace during the interview. “Kanye’s a funny one when it comes to paying people money.”

The 23-year-old British national is now offering an apology to Future, Dean, and West.

Menace tweeted a note that reads:

I want to formally apologize to Mike Dean, Kanye, Future and their respective teams for releasing unfounded and sensitive information to the media that could have potentially affected their professional integrity. They have always been an immense source of inspiration for me and they will always be extremely influential to my work and my development as a producer. I hope that, with time, they will all be able to accept my apologizes.
