Rumors hit Thursday that singer Mariah Carey’s would-be future husband, billionaire James Packer, broke up with Mimi over alleged extravagant spending habits. He also allegedly hated the nature of her intrusive reality show.
Sources close to Mariah are now claiming that Mariah expressed that Packer is not in his right mind and he has been violent towards her. They even went as far as saying that Packer isn’t mentally stable.
According to TMZ, sources close to the former couple informed them that Packer violated Mariah’s assistant in Greece as he did “something really bad”. He also sent her packing. The source alleges that Packer also became violent.
Apparently Packer is claiming that Mariah’s claims are simply untrue, and Mariah is just being herself, a true diva.
If Packer is in fact mentally unstable, they certainly made a crazy pair, as we’ve all heard the stories about how crazy Mariah allegedly is. Crazy or not, at least the diva is one of the best to do it.
Maybe there is some truth to the claims of violence, as a video has been floating around that seems to show Packer grabbing Mariah’s arm.
(AllHipHop News) Kid Cudi is currently in rehab for depression, but the Cleveland-bred rapper still found time to respond to Drake’s recent diss.
Many observers felt Drake hit Cudi with a low blow on the OVO founder’s “Two Birds, One Stone” record.
“You were the man on the moon. Now you just go through your phases,” rapped Drake.
He ended the verse, “I’m like a real estate agent, putting you all in your places. Look what happens soon as you talk to me crazy. Is you crazy?”
Those words were taken by some as a shot at the fact Cudi was dealing with mental health issues, and Drake received significant backlash from social media users.
Cudi has now fired backed with his own tweet.
“Drake. Say it to [my] face, p-ssy. You think it’s a game. I wanna see you say it to my face. I’ll be out soon. Promise,” wrote Cudi on Twitter.
Drake went over the top. Kid Cudi is not happy. Drake made fun of Cudi’s mental health issues in a “battle rap” and it didn’t go over well. Nobody was more upset than Cudi, who clapped back today on social media. Cudi has been away, but he commented, “Say it to [my] face p####. You think it’s a game. I wanna see you say it to my face. I’ll be out soon. Promise.” On “Two Birds, One Stone,” Drake says, ““You were the man on the moon, now you go through your phases/Live for the angry and famous.” Hmmmmmm…interesting. These guys and their beefs all seem very silly, but who am I to judge what is stupid by today’s standards?
Well, Lupe jumped in. He’s not holding back anything. See…
Soulja Boy and Bow Wow have a message for you “janky” promoters trying to lowball them. Bow Wow and Soulja want you to know you cannot book the “dynamic duo” for only $50K.
Both rappers claim that they aren’t hungry for any money, and both have been getting money for sometime now, so these promoters are going to have to step their bag game up.
According to the internet, no one wanted this joint album, “Ignorant Sh*t,” so are people really interested in seeing them on new shows and club appearances?
The two rappers are saying in order to book them you are going to have to come with at least $200K.
How much do you think Bow Wow and Soulja Boy should be booked for? Oh yeah, please visit Bow Wow’s Facebook page. Unfortunately they are still dragging him over the joint album and his “return” to Ohio.
(AllHipHop News) Rick Ross is not into the beefing and has quelled the voracious conflict between Meek Mill and The Game, he says.
On a social media post, Rozay explained what occurred while he engaged in a sparring session.
“DC4 out now. Its a real n*a celebration. This is for us everywhere. We are all fighting the same case,” he said. “Perfect time to let you know, I had a conversation with my brother Game on the West Coast. We put that st behind us. Real n***as do real things. If its on my side, don’t even trip. If its on your side, that’s how a real n***a do it. Lets get a billion. So go on iTunes right now and pick up that 1992. That Meek Mill m#### f**kin’ DC4. Buy ‘em both.”
The Game and Meek have been clashing heavy and the squabble included Beanie Sigel as well. Eventually, the elder Philly statesman was assaulted by Meek Mill’s men.
Remaking the magical fairy tale of The Wizard of Oz, following the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City, soul singer Netousha Monroe and rapper/producer Rav.P have come together for a musical collaboration dubbed, Tinman.
The two artists have a chemistry that began in Puff Daddy’s studio 4 years ago and since then, they have worked together on several efforts including Rav.P’s previously released Immaculate EP.
While the collaboration is new, Rav.P grew up in studios and learned the inner workings of the music industry before his teenage years.
“Growing up in New Jersey, my dad played with the Fugees and I pretty much lived in studios with my father from the early age of 5. I recorded my first vocals when I was like 13 on reel to reel,” Rav.P said. “I have a Jamaican background and started off doing reggae, but I’ve since moved to Hip-Hop and Soul producing and rapping.”
Evoking the Tinman character and his missing heart, Netousha Monroe and Rav.P pieced together a soulful spin off of the classic fairy tale that will move listeners as they follow a powerful story of love and relationships in Hip-Hop.
“The ‘Tinman’ is the just the fantasy that me and Natousha created. It was just really good vibes in the studio and after creating one song we decided to just do an EP,” Rav.P explained.
Evaluating trust, love, loss and betrayal the Tinman EP will make listeners think about their own relationships as Netousha Monroe and Rav.P add a relatable texture and feel to this classic story. Accompanying the song is a LES Visuals directed piece that grips the viewer from beginning to end.
Word on the street is the 6 God may have gotten himself snipped!
Rumor has it that Drake got a vasectomy so the groupies and insta-thots couldn’t come up off of him, and so he wouldn’t end up with a million kids like Chief Keef, Future, Fetty Wap, Young Thug etc.
Apparently Drizzy is more afraid of babies than he is of STDS. It seems like Drake loves unprotected sex with the strippers, models, b##’s etc. It’s crazy because Drake seems like he would be such a “safe” guy.
We still can’t get over the fact that Jhnonnie Blaze said Drake not only had sex with her, but he also hit it raw.
Tighten up Drake, tighten up…. well actually wrap it up.
With Isaiah Rashad and Lance Skiiiwalker having just released their studio albums last month, TDE’s Ab-Soul is next in line to drop within the camp.
His first release off the LP was “Huey Knows” featuring Dash, which premiered earlier in the month, quickly followed by a visual released about two weeks back. Soulo now calls for Dreamville’s Bas for the second single off “DWTW” – titled “Braille.”
Still no word on when we can expect the project, but Ab-Soul recently tweeted the artwork is currently getting digitized, so hopefully it will arrive before the year ends.
Well come look at this; Trick Daddy is now trying to play the victim!
Trick Daddy upset black women everywhere earlier this week as he suggested that they would become obsolete if Latino and white women learned how to fry chicken.
Trick also told black women that they needed to tighten up because women of other races are getting finer and finer by the day.
To no ones surprise, black women drug Trick Daddy to the pits of hell and back, as Trick isn’t exactly the most desirable or aesthetically pleasing individual on the planet.
Many women went in on Trick Daddy saying things like he looked dirty, disgusting, nasty, and permanently embalmed.
Trick Daddy has stated that his look has been impacted because he’s been battling lupus for 15 years, and that any women that want to use it as a joke to condemn him can e#########! Trick also told the same women,
“Get out yo feelings cause I’m heartless hoe.”
It’s so interesting that Trick has blasted the women who responded by saying most probably didn’t see the video and are instead just being followers. How is Trick going to take all of the shots and then play the victim though?! LOL.
(AllHipHop News) There are only a few more months left in the Barack Obama administration.
Throughout his two terms in office, Obama has been very open about his appreciation for Hip Hop music, and he will be remembered in part for elevating the culture’s connection to the presidency.
Veteran journalist Sway Calloway spoke with Obama for his Shade 45 radio show. The interview featured the POTUS naming his favorite rappers at the moment.
“I think the young guys – Kendrick [Lamar] and Chance [The Rapper] are doing amazing work,” responded Obama. “I love Drake, and the girls love Drake. He’s commercially just doing great and unbelievably talented.”
The President continued, “Jay Z is still the king. He’s got a track record. The same with Kanye.”
After acknowledging Drake, Jay, and Kanye West, Obama circled back to the first two performers he mentioned.
“There’s a lot of talent out there, but what I look at: who’s breaking new ground? Kendrick and Chance, those guys are doing just amazing work and they’re wonderful young men,” said Obama.
(AllHipHop Features) Celebrated visual artist Jean-Michel Basquiat was quoted saying, “Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I’d think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix… I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.”
Basquiat and his creations have become a source of influence for many well-known Hip Hop performers. The late one-time graffiti artist has also served as a motivational force for a rising rhymer out of Kansas City, Kansas.
Not long ago, Aaron Alexander released the Basquiat-inspired Radiant Child, produced entirely by fellow Kansas Citian Bwill. However, the duo felt the audio fidelity of Radiant Child did not properly represent the sound they wanted to share with the world.
As a result, the two high school friends remixed 8 tracks from the project and repackaged it as rAdiAnt Redone. Musician Eric Christopher assisted with the development of the EP as well.
Alexander was able to set forth on a path to grabbed the attention of listeners thanks to his parents and others helping him to avoid the pitfalls of Kansas City. Now, he and Bwill are part of a growing Kansas/Missouri Hip Hop scene which includes other up-and-comers such as Zarin Micheal, Gee Watts, and Rory Fresco.
“People are starting to carve their own lanes and not box themselves into ‘what KC is supposed to sound like,’” says Alexander. “It’s a beautiful thing, I foresee a run like Chicago had in 2013 sooner rather than later.”
As Aaron Alexander helps direct more eyes and ears toward the movement emerging from his home region, AllHipHop.com readers can get a better understanding of the 21-year-old independent emcee via the “Three Questions” interview series.
What are your five favorite Hip Hop albums from Midwest artists?
I am going to throw my own caveat on this one. I can only use one album from each artist. No particular order: Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Lupe Fiasco – The Cool, Chief Keef – Finally Rich, Chance The Rapper – Acid Rap, and Kid Cudi – Man On The Moon II.
If you had to live the life of any anime character who would it be and why?
If I could live in any anime world it would have to be in the Pokémon world. Nobody has to go to college. They make like 3-4 racks every battle. It’s lit.
Basquiat was very interested in the idea of fame. Are there any limits to what you’re willing to do to be listed among the greats?
I will do everything that I can do to be seen as great, not just a great rapper but a great artist. The only thing I worry about is losing myself in that process. I’ve watched people get swept away in trying to live a life that they weren’t cut out for. It’s a terrible thing. I will always take a step back and ask myself if what I am doing is making me happy, because I am not going to put my happiness in jeopardy over a job. Music is my self-expression. If I ever get in a situation where I can monetize it, I’d hope that situation would allow me to express myself like I’ve been doing.
“I definitely believe she’ll carry on that legacy,” responded Pusha. “That’s the most important issue to me simply because I feel like that’s the most important issue tearing apart our community right now.
Many criminal justice reform activists have cited state-mandated laws preventing felons from having voting rights as an unfair form of disenfranchisement affecting communities of color.
In most states, convicted felons regain their right to vote at the completion of serving time, parole, or probation.
However, in some states, convicted felons can only earn back their right to vote through court action or gubernatorial pardons, even after completion of their sentence.
“You can’t vote. You can’t get grants. It’s like you keep paying forever,” stated Pusha T. “We have to change that.”
Hillary Clinton already won this thing. Then again, if you read the previous post, Donald Trump has a strong possibility of being the next POTUS! I don’t think even Trump thought he would take it this far. Now, he’s in the limelight. However, B.I.G. Trump may be, Hillary is countering with her own little rap references. She seems to be the type to ride with Death Row Records. Recently, The Breakfast Club showed her a meme of her being “influenced” by Snoop Dogg, Tupac and Suge Knight. Yeah, and she owned it!
Are we really going down this road again? Apparently so, These two hate each other and they can’t deny it.
The man that has predicted almost every election now has said that Donald Trump is going to win. Check some excerpts from The Independent.
Mr Gore won the popular vote, but following a disputde result in Florida, George W Bush was awarded more votes in the Electoral College and thus won the election.
The model suggests that the candidate who performs better in their parties primary race will go on to win the presidency.
Professor Norpoth told the New York Post: “I think he was the strongest candidate in the primaries and that he will prevail.
“The model predicted a Trump win in February and nothing has changed since then. Whatever happens in the real world doesn’t affect the model”.
Now the main thing that this does NOT factor in are the recent slew of sexual misconduct allegations that Trump faces. Most of them are recent. So, is Professor Norpoth a crackpot that has antiquated ways to guess the winner? I don’t know. I hope he is wrong, because America will be a laughing stock with concentration camps if Trump wins!
There are people that really look hard at social media. I do it sometimes and sometimes I don’t. One thing is for sure, folks are going to see a threat if it goes down. It would seem like 50 sent an unveiled threat to his son Marquise through social media. There are several emojis and one has a gun pointing to somebody. It implies him shooting somebody, namely his son. Now clearly this criss-crosses his show “Power” – text-book trolling, if you ask me. But it certainly crosses some paternal lines as well. Sheesh! DJ Akademiks really goes in on 50 in this one. Maybe these are just jokes or we are in a dream.
I know 50’s baby moms is going to have a field day with this one.
(AllHipHop News)Rumors have been flying that Taxstone has a major interview in the pipeline with a big Hip Hop star.
Some people speculated the Q&A could be with Jay Z, but it is now clear that the subject of an upcoming Tax Season episode will be Meek Mill.
Tax used his Twitter feed to announce the forthcoming sit down with Meek.
The conversation between the Brooklyn podcast host and the Philadelphia rapper comes around the same time Meek released his new project DC4.
Previously, Taxstone interviewed Beanie Sigel and the discussion was heavily centered around Bean’s conflict with his fellow Philly representative.
It is likely next week’s Tax Season with Meek Mill will cover the Dreamchasers leader’s feud with Sigel as well as his disputes with Drake and The Game.
(AllHipHop News) Kanye West is usually the one ranting about other entertainers, but the “Famous” spitter was actually the recent target of another recording artist.
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer David Crosby was a guest on Watch What Happens Live, and the singer-songwriter used the opportunity to take a few swipes at Kanye.
“He certainly can’t play anything, and he certainly doesn’t sing,” said Crosby. “The thing that bugs me about him is the ‘I’m the world’s greatest living rock star.’ Somebody needs to drive him over to Stevie Wonder’s house right now so he understands what a real one is.”
Crosby also suggested the G.O.O.D. Music boss should be sent “all of Ray Charles’s catalogue so he can learn how to sing.”
While the 75-year-old co-founder of Crosby, Stills & Nash had some critical words for West, another Rock legend has co-signed the Chicago native in the past.
Iconic performer Paul McCartney teamed with Kanye for the songs “Only One,” “All Day,” and “FourFiveSeconds.”
(AllHipHop News) After months of anticipation, Meek Mill finally let loose his latest body of work.
DC4 is the fourth installment in the Maybach Music Group artist’s DreamChasers series.
Meek tapped several other performers for the project including Tory Lanez, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Pusha T, and French Montana.
The late Lil Snupe’s vocals are also included on “Outro.”
