Mike Will Talks Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE” Beat Originally Being For Gucci Mane

(AllHipHop News) It turns out the beat for the current number one song in the country could have been tackled by a completely different artist.

Mike Will Made It recently spoke with NPR, and the producer revealed Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble” track was originally planned for a Trap God.

The Atlanta-based hitmaker stated:

I made that beat [last year] when Gucci Mane was getting out of jail; I made it with him in mind. I was just thinking, damn, Gucci’s about to come home; it’s got to be something urgent that’s just going to take over the radio. And I felt like that beat was that. I ended up not doing it with Gucci and I let Kendrick hear it. I was thinking, if Dot gets on this it’ll be his first time being heard on some[thing] like this. At the same time, it kind of has an NWA/Dr. Dre feel, an Eminem kind of feel. So I thought, let me see if Dot f**** with it. And he heard the beat and he liked it. But he was about to give me “HUMBLE.” for [my album] Ransom 2. I love that song so I was like, ‘Man, hell yeah.’ Then he told me that his team was saying he should keep it. And I told him, ‘Bruh, you definitely should keep it, and you should use it as your single.‘

Mike Will’s Ransom 2 did include the song “Perfect Pint” which featured Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane, and Rae Sremmurd.

Gucci may have missed out on the beat that became “HUMBLE,” but he scored his own #1 single as a guest on Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles.”

(AllHipHop Features) I have never heard of OG Mobb James before today. Well, let me tell you, I was captivated by this interview, shot in a documentary style. In the interview, Mob James talks about much of the circumstances that revolved around Death Row Records’ Blood ties, to Suge Knight to the events that lead up to Tupac’s demise. He says quite a lot. Covered items include how Suge essentially paid to get all the rights and privileges of being Blood and how Tupac’s superstar status got people paid but didn’t eliminate the underlying dangers of the culture and more. “He interfered into something he had no power in,” Mob James says. Check out this crazy interview with OG Mob James.

DMX Heading To Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival

(AllHipHop News) Rapper DMX has been unveiled as a headliner for the 2017 Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, days after struggling through his set at a Ruff Ryders reunion gig.

The “Party Up (Up in Here)” hitmaker had fans concerned for his mental well being last Friday (April 21) after delivering rambling speeches in between songs as he topped the bill for the Ruff Ryders label all-star show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
DMX, who has battled substance abuse issues in the past, also lost his temper as he overran the venue’s curfew and was told to wrap up his set, yelling, “Don’t expect me to be a role model!” as he reluctantly closed the concert.

Now DMX has been given a chance at redemption as the co-headliner for the 13th annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, where he will share the bill with his fellow Ruff Ryders crew members The LOX on July 15.

Other highlights for the summer event, which runs from July 10-16 include a talent showcase for J. Cole’s Dreamville label artists Bas, Cozz, and Omen, and a discussion about Rakim’s rap legacy as part of the “Told It First Hand” series at the Brooklyn Historical Society.

Big Boi Performs “Mic Jack” On ‘The Tonight Show’ & Talks Creating The Song (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) OutKast’s Big Boi is set to return with his first solo album in five years.

The Boomiverse project reportedly includes features from Gucci Mane, Killer Mike, Jeezy, Travis Scott, and Kurupt.

Before Big Boi drops his third LP this summer, the ATLien performed the single “Mic Jack” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Sleepy Brown was also at the late night program to lend a hand for the music set backed by The Roots.

In addition, Big Boi was asked about writing “Mic Jack” during a backstage interview.

“The ‘Mic Jack’ record came about as we were working on this Boomiverse record. We did something a little different this time,” said Big Boi. “Me and Ray [Murray] from Organized Noize went out to California to work with some outside producers.”

DJ Dahi of Los Angeles contributed to the track before Big Boi’s Atlanta-based team added 808s and a hook to the song.

Eventually, Adam Levine of Maroon 5 was tapped to sing the chorus.

Frequent Big Boi collaborator Janelle Monáe was considered for the song’s outro before they went with songwriter Taylor Parks for that section.

Monáe is expected to appear on another Boomiverse track.

Big Boi’s last solo body of work was 2012’s Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors.

He also released the collaborative EP Big Grams with Phantogram in 2015.

Did Oschino Just Accuse State Property’s Neef Buck Of Being A Snitch?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Wait a minute, what’s going on with Oschino and Neef Buck?

It looks like some drama is playing out on Instagram between the two State Property rappers.

Oschino posted what appears to be part of a document where Buck may have been “snitching” after some type of scam at a Best Buy.

He even wrote in a caption, “Recieving [sic] stolen property @neef_buck talk to me.”

Now, there’s no way to tell what Oschino put on IG is real.

But either real or fake, why would he put Neef on blast like that?

Two days ago Buck’s IG page had an interesting message too: “The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies!”

Oschino did talk about having issues over money with Buck and State Property in a radio interview. Check out clips of that interview below.

Troy Ave Talks TDE Signing Rumors, Says Joe Budden Is Leeching Off DJ Akademiks (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) On his “Truth Be Told PSA” track, Troy Ave suggested he almost signed to the West Coast-based record label Top Dawg Entertainment.

TDE CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith later came out to deny he or anyone connected with the company spoke to Troy about joining the team.

“4 the record… I’ve never had a convo with Troy ave or any 1 in his camp.. neither has KDot.. yesterdays story was fake news,” posted Tiffith on Twitter.

Troy stopped by Power 106, and the NuPac project creator was asked about claims of nearly being a TDE artist.

“Certain media pockets try to twist words and things that I say, but the good thing about me is the truth don’t change. I never have to double back and change up my story and really explain,” said  Troy.

He continued, “If you take the original place where they said I said TDE was about to sign me – you can listen to that on NuPac – I never actually said that. I said I was sitting in jail, going through hell, and then it came to me. Kendrick Lamar reached out to Rob Markman and said, ‘What’s up with Troy?'”

According to Troy, he never spoke to anyone at TDE, but because of the “hate” in New York he considered moving to the West Coast. He then supposedly asked his manager to reach out to the label about a potential deal, and Markman supposedly worked to connect the two sides.

“I’ll get an idea and I’ll be like, ‘What’s up with it?’ If it don’t go through right then and there I’ll be like, ‘Forget about it,'” added the Brooklyn rhymer. “I put plans in action. Unfortunately, I’m sitting in jail and I can’t put no plan in action. So I’m depending on other people to put the play together, and they couldn’t. I would’t have no reason to lie.”

Later in the interview, Troy addressed his issues with Joe Budden, who he dissed on “Press Spray.”

“Shout out to DJ Akademiks… He shouldn’t be doing nothing with that sucker,” said Troy referring to the Complex online show Everyday Struggle with Budden and Akademiks. “I feel like [Budden’s] leeching off him. Akademiks could have did that by himself.”

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘DAMN’ Expected To Spend Second Week At #1 On Billboard 200

(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar’s reign atop the Billboard 200 album chart is expected to continue for a second week.

After DAMN opened at #1 with 603,000 units in week one, K. Dot’s new project is predicted to collect an additional 220,000 to 240,000 units in week two.

That range should be enough to make sure Kendrick retains the # 1 spot.

The TDE emcee is also currently dominating the main singles chart as well.

“Humble” sits in the pole position on the Hot 100, and the other 13 tracks off DAMN also made the chart.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Drake is taking his love for basketball to the next level by hosting the inaugural NBA Awards.

The “Hotline Bling” hitmaker, who has served as the global ambassador for his hometown team, the Toronto Raptors, since 2013, will emcee the National Basketball Association’s new prize giving, which will take place in New York on June 26.

Among the titles up for grabs are Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man Award, Most Improved Player, and Coach of the Year, all of which will be presented during the event.

Nominees will be unveiled later this week, with a string of categories open to public voting.

It won’t be Drake’s first stint as a sports ceremony host – he also fronted the 2014 ESPY Awards.

Rihanna Wants Drake To Stop Making Her Hotline Bling!

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) I don’t know what Drake did to Rihanna, but it looks like he messed up pretty bad!

It seems like Drake and Rihanna’s relationship had ran it’s course last year, despite the affection that Drake showed Bad Bal RiRi at last years MTV VMAs! I mean Drizzy had us all wanting him to propose to Rihanna even if it was just staged or just for the moment.

Well as you know, the two were reportedly caught off guard when they ran into each other at a mutual friend’s kid’s birthday party a few weeks ago. Although it is awkward being around your ex sometimes, you would think it wouldn’t be that awkward for Ri and the 6 God to be in the same area.

Well according to OK, Rihanna is tired of Drake making her hotline bling!

To be completely honest, I think it would be hard for anyone to get over Rihanna.

Apparently Rihanna wants Drake to completely lose her phone number. An insider says,

“He still calls her several times a week, sends bouquets of flowers and gifts… but she’s not interested and just wishes he’d get on with his life.”

Dang! I know Drake is in his feelings, but it just may be time for him to move on! Should Rihanna give him one more chance?

Pharrell Is The First Man To Star In A Chanel Bag Campaign

(AllHipHop News) Pharrell Williams has made history by becoming Chanel’s first bag campaign male model.

A short film featuring the “Happy” singer dancing around in an empty concert hall and strutting his stuff while promoting the brand’s newest Chanel Gabrielle bag was just released by the French fashion house.

The Grammy winner also appears to walk on a precarious beam in mid-air, nearly dropping the high-end handbag as he attempts to regain his balance.

The 44-year-old was announced as the first ever frontman of a Chanel handbag campaign in March, just months after he walked the catwalk for the iconic label’s Metiers d’Art runway show in Paris in December.

Creative director Karl Lagerfeld unveiled the handbag project exclusively to WWD, noting actress Kristen Stewart and model-turned-movie star Cara Delevingne would also be starring in the campaign, along with French star Caroline de Maigret.

Karl specifically chose Pharrell to promote the Gabrielle tote to emphasise to fans the bag can be worn in “many different circumstances” by different people.

“It’s not very feminine in the sense of being chichi,” Karl stressed.

Pharrell is all the rage in France’s fashion scene at the moment – last month he was awarded the prestigious Officier des Arts et des Lettres Award by French Minister of Culture Audrey Azoulay, who honored the star for his contribution to the arts in a ceremony held during Paris Fashion Week.

Face Off! T.I. Questions Tiny’s Parenting Decisions????

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop Rumors) The breakdown in T.I. and Tiny’s marriage is getting more and more interesting!

As you can tell from social media and the Tip and Tiny’s recent media interviews, there is no chance of reconciliation.

Tiny expressed on The Wendy Williams Show that her and T.I. no longer have “anything.” T.I. told Angie Martinez that his marriage was a “distraction”.

Now an issue that fans have had with T.I. for a longtime has resurfaced: T.I. can work, but Tiny can’t.

So apparently when T.I. and Tiny met, Tiny was clearly already “on” because she was a member of the R&B group Xscape and an established songwriter.

She was said to not only have held Tip down over the years through his various legal issues, but to have also invested in his career early on.

It’s always been said that T.I. told her he didn’t want her to work anymore, and that he wanted her to stay home and take care of the kids. It probably sounded flattering at first until she woke up and realized that she actually had a career that she wanted to get back to.

Despite the fact that Tip and Tiny are in the process of divorcing, they have a new baby in the Family Hustle, and Tiny and Tip have been disagreeing about parenting. Tiny wants to take baby Heiress Harris on the road with her as Xscape does their reunion touring, and T.I. is not having it!

In fact Tip threatens her and tells her that she can’t take the baby on the road, and as a parent she has to sacrifice and stay home.

Notice he doesn’t say anything about him becoming a stay-at-home dad.

“I’m so proud of you; you are a working woman. Get on out there…… I want you to get out there and see. Just make sure you have some contingencies in place for these children,” said T.I.

When Tiny replied to Tip saying she was taking the baby on the road, Tip replied saying,

“Hell nah. My child is not finna. No. Well you need to stay home then……. No, no, no. Well you need to stay here. That’s a sacrifice you make as a parent.”

Tiny told T.I. that even Beyonce takes Blue Ivy with her.

“That baby is innocent and she will not. Listen man, you don’t want no trouble out of me. I’ma shut the whole thing down…… Don’t make me. I was excited about it and supportive of it, but now you are getting me in a place,” said T.I.

T.I. sounds a little bit hypocritical doesn’t he!

Nicki Minaj’s Former Group Member Confirms How Gangsta Nick Was!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Nicki Minaj used to be involved in all kinds of street shhhh!

Nicki Minaj’s former Hoodstars group member 7even has recently discussed how close of a relationship he and the “Rap Queen” once had.

In the past there was talk that 7even and Nicki were on the run for attempted murder.

7even sat down with DJ Vlad to clear this up. He says,

“Well we wasn’t on the run for attempted murder. We had did a robbery. Well I did the robbery; she was the get away girl,” said 7even.

While 7even says he doesn’t want to give this story too much gas again because of previous backlash stemming from his previous interview, however he says he’s just telling his story.

Vlad asks how in the world did he convince Nicki to be a part of this?!?! 7even says back in the day Nicki was a G, and she wasn’t soft.

What’s crazy is 7even says he robbed a dude without a gun, grabbed a bunch of his jewelry, jumped in Nicki’s car, and Nicki sped off.

If Nicki Minaj was willing to be the get-away driver in this situation. I’m willing to bet that she was also involved in a lottttttt more back in the day.

I’d love to hear some stories about Nicki during ‘The Come Up’ dvd era!

Jay Z & Kanye West Reportedly Had Differing Ideas For “N-ggas In Paris” Song Title

(AllHipHop News) Was one of the biggest records on the juggernaut collaboration Watch The Throne almost given a different name?

Former Grantland publisher David Cho spoke with the A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal podcast about Jay Z and Kanye West’s 2011 joint album.

At one point, Cho discussed supposed conversations between Hov and Ye over the title for the song that became “N-ggas In Paris.”

“Jay wanted to call it ‘Ball So Hard,’ and Kanye was like, ‘No, we have to put the n-word in the title,'” stated Cho.

Apparently, Kanye wanted to put “n-gga” in every song title on Watch The Throne so people would have to confront the controversial word.

“I’m assuming the compromise ended up being, ‘Okay, we’ll put it in the title of this one song,'” Cho added.

“N-ggas In Paris” is one of the biggest hits off Watch The Throne.

The song was certified 5 times platinum, peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, and won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance.

Jay and Kanye’s smash single also inspired numerous remixes/freestyles and even an illustrated book.

Joe Budden Reveals EXACTLY Who Is Ruining Hip Hop!

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) There are many people who agree with Joe Budden right now!

Joe Budden is NOT here for rapper Lil Yachty! Lil Yachty certainly got people talking with the release of the artwork for his cover for his new project, ‘Teenage Emotions’.

Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks decided to take a moment to discuss Lil Yachty as a whole. According to Joe Budden, Lil Yachty is killing Hip Hop right now.

“I never want to talk about Yachty. I don’t think that Yachty is Hip Hop. And here we are on Monday morning, a beautiful Monday morning talking about Lil Yachty someone who I think is ruining the culture, someone who should not be accepted in this f-cking culture,” said Joe Budden.

I honestly don’t see one lie here! The “kids” seem to love Lil Yachty and think that people like Joe Budden are just old heads that aren’t with the times.

I think it’s time to tell the truth! Charlamagne wasn’t too far off with his comment about Yachty being the poster child for wack rappers. I just don’t understand how artists are okay with putting out trash and mediocre music.

Looking at the greats that came before them, or even the greats that are in the game with them now, how could one not push themselves to deliver the best quality music possible? Probably because it’s a money game to most. They don’t do it for the art or love of music. They do it to be famous and secure a bag. Carry on!

Do you think Joe Budden has a point?
