Signs The World Is Coming To An End: Company Insists On Putting Microchip In Workers!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well. We back at it. A ways back, we did something called “Signs The World Is Coming To And End.” And its time to bring it back, because it really feels that way. Read THIS SH!T and tell me your thoughts! A company is making their employees take this microchip in that a$$!!!!!:

Three Square Market Microchips Employees Company-Wide

Three Square Market will become the first U.S. company to provide implanted microchip technology to their employees.

RIVER FALLS, Wis. – July 20, 2017 – PRLog — Three Square Market (32M) is offering implanted chip technology to all of their employees on August 1st, 2017. Employees will be implanted with a RFID chip allowing them to make purchases in their break room micro market, open doors, login to computers, use the copy machine, etc.  This program, offered by 32M, is optional for all employees. The company is expecting over 50 staff members to be voluntarily chipped.  32M is partnering with BioHax International and Jowan Osterland, CEO, based out of Sweden.

RFID technology or Radio-Frequency Identification uses electromagnetic fields to identify electronically stored information. Often referred to as “chip” technology, this option has become very popular in the European marketplace. The chip implant uses near-field communications (NFC); the same technology used in contactless credit cards and mobile payments. A chip is implanted between the thumb and forefinger underneath the skin within seconds.

A micro market, also known as a break room market, has become a staple in the U.S. with over 20,000 locations and growing.  While in existence for over a decade in the American workplace, the international community began to embrace this only a few years ago.  A micro market is a mini convenience store located right in the employee break room using a self-checkout kiosk, similar to what is found at many major retailers.  Businesses see multiple benefits when adding a micro market to their location, such as increased employee morale and productivity. 32M entered this growing industry over four years ago and is rapidly growing in market share and believes this technology will help it continue this trajectory.

“We foresee the use of RFID technology to drive everything from making purchases in our office break room market, opening doors, use of copy machines, logging into our office computers, unlocking phones, sharing business cards, storing medical/health information, and used as payment at other RFID terminals.  Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.” commented 32M CEO, Todd Westby.

I’m going to have to quit, boss.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Snoop Dogg has dodged a lawsuit stemming from an accident at a concert in Camden, New Jersey.

There were several lawsuits as a result of the malfunction, including one by a fan from Pennsylvania, who broke his spine.

According to TMZ.com, Wiz Khalifa and Live Nation are still part of the lawsuit and continue to fight it.

Did ‘All Eyez On Me’ Cause A Rift In The Outlawz Relationship?

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Just put the whole movie in rice!

Despite ‘All Eyez On Me’s’ opening weekend numbers, the responses to the Tupac biopic have been a mess with them being more negative than positive.

Napoleon, Edi & Noble of the Outlawz recently sat down with DJ Vlad to talk about a rift in their brotherhood.

Believe it or not, a lot of the confusion, anger, and distance even came from the drama surrounding the ‘All Eyez On Me’ biopic. Different people were saying different things to them, and people were planting various things in their minds without all of the stuff being factual.

Each of the members were getting mixed information while they still weren’t talking to each other. Napoleon was once mad at Edi and Noble because at first he thought that they were going against Afeni Shakur’s wishes by being in the movie.

Noble says he felt like the Outlawz should’ve been involved in the movie and help tell the story of Pac’s legacy especially since the movie would’ve happened whether or not they decided to be a part of it.

Napoleon says he still doesn’t agree with the movie because he feels like everything with the movie should’ve been worked out where everyone could be in agreeance with the film, especially the family.

Napoleon even said that some people in Tupac’s family are still upset about the film.

Young Noble said a lawyer handling much of Tupac’s business is really the cause of a lot of problems in the estate, the film, and issues in the family over the years, to be honest though.

Ralo Defends His Decision To Stay In The Hood!

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

(AllHipHop Rumors) Rapper Ralo has taken time out again to defend his decision to still reside in the hood despite his success.

Earlier this month, he revealed that Future even picked on him for being the only rapper making $30K for shows and still living in a bando.

“@future say I’m the only rapper making $30k every weekend an still living in the hood… ??? I’m always giving back to the community, I’m always looking out for the kids and homeless. I can’t wait till the first of the year we gone drop us ah super project… He will announce the details soon…,” posted Ralo.

Ralo has explained that he doesn’t want to move out of the hood because he wants to give back to it and pour so much into it. Some of his fans explained to him that he could still give back to his old neighborhood without having to live there.

It actually seems like a safety concern for most. A few rappers have gotten killed in their hometowns or in their various hoods.

Ralo’s fans feel that even though he is “preaching” about doing good in his community, some folks aren’t going to care anything about that and may try to rob and kill him over his money and possessions.

I mean let’s keep it real, the hate is always real from some folks, and although crime can happen anywhere, it’s more prevalent in some neighborhoods. I mean even I see why folks would be worried for Ralo’s safety. With him pulling up in the hood on the regular in expensive cars, it seems like he’s making himself a target.

Here’s what Ralo had to say in response to those who are concerned.

“They keep asking me why the f-ck I’m still living in the hood if I got so much money. Everybody get money an move out the hood, I wanted to be different. The hood need our help, we been taking away from it all our life. It’s time someone gave back!!! #RaloLaFlare.”

What are your thoughts? Do you think he should leave or stay?

Amber Rose Claims Kanye West Bullied Her For 6 Years!

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

(AllHipHop Rumors) Amber Rose is one interesting lady!

Sometimes it seems like Amber Rose is a delusional individual that lives in an alternative reality. She has to be in her own world sometimes.

Rose stopped by to chat with Joe Budden & DJ Akademiks on Complex’s Everyday Struggle.

To no one’s surprise, Amber Rose made some more interesting and controversial statements! She explained that she doesn’t believe that there is any such thing as hoeish or sluttish behavior, and she said although Kanye gave her fame, fame doesn’t get you any money.

I believe Amber should say fame doesn’t guarantee you money, but we all know fame is the reason why a lot of people are getting checks, and it opens up a lot of doors and puts people in demand.

Anyway, as far as her previous relationship with Kanye, Rose stated that their relationship and break up still bothers her to this day.

“I still have never said anything mean about Kanye. This is after six, seven years of constant bullying from him,” said Rose.

Rose stated that she never went in on Kanye until Kanye took shots at her, her ex-husband Wiz Khalifa, and their son.

“You don’t say nothing about my baby. I was quiet for so long. I could have got a reality show just off the fact that I was his girlfriend. I could have wrote a book just off the fact that I was his girlfriend. I said, you know what? I’m a real ass b*tch. I’mma take the high road and work my ass off, and I’m going to get everything I get on my own, so nobody can be like, ‘Yo I gave her that,” said Rose.

Rose also said that while it’s dope to be a part of Hip Hop history as her relationship with West inspired his ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’, she actually remembers those times as being terrible because she was famous but broke, and she couldn’t say anything because West had such a big voice.

If Kanye was really “bullying” Amber, do you think Amber was doing some crazy stuff behind the scenes?

Bernice Burgos Clears Up Rumors On Her Involvement With T.I. & Drake!

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Bernice Burgos is one of those women who are to be seen and NOT heard. LAWD.

Bernice Burgos must have been a filler guest on The Breakfast Club because no one else can make sense of her booking other than the men in Hip Hop she’s allegedly been linked to.

As you know, Burgos has been drug through the mud for allegedly being one of the home wreckers to mess up T.I. and Tiny’s marriage.

Burgos’ interview on TBC seemed to confirm folk’s belief that she is inarticulate and a bit “slow”.

Of course the station had to address the rumors of Burgos’ involvement with T.I., and the Instagram model is now changing up her story.

When the rumors first hit the net that Bernice was messing around with Tip, Bernice was on social media being petty and sending shots at Tiny, and responding to Tiny’s responses with more disrespect.

Bernice even went as far as saying that Tip and Tiny’s marriage had been broken long before she was in the picture. Now on TBC, she flips the script and says she doesn’t know what the big deal was because she was only introduced to Tip on business. She claims the introduction was for her to be in a movie. Bye girl! Liar; liar.

She was also asked if she and Drake were ever really fooling around also, and she claims that Drake wasn’t the one to buy her her Bentley but they are still very cool. Sounds like Drake and Tip smashed if you ask me!

“Oh come on….Well actually it was a gift. I did have a gift. I’m a nice girl…. I did a trade on my car. So it’s going to make it seem like a guy bought me a car….Even though whoever did it…It was somebody else. It was somebody who was in my life and is still in my life. Drake is the sweetest person ever. He’s always been good to me and I’ve always been good to him… How we stop kicking it? Friends is friends,” said Bernice.

I so wanted her to be brains and beauty….especially at her age, but carry on!

Tyler, The Creator Offers ‘Flower Boy’ Album As A Limited Edition Cassette Tape Bundle

(AllHipHop News) Are audio cassettes becoming the new vinyl?

The supposedly dead option for music consumption is experiencing a rise in public interest again.

Recently, we’ve seen Hip Hop veterans such as Raekwon, Eminem, and Jay-Z present projects via the format popularized in the 1970s and 1980s.

Now Tyler, The Creator is offering his fans a cassette version of his new Flower Boy album as well.

“iight yall asked so why not. gonna be a while, but yeah,” wrote the California rapper in a caption for an Instagram photo of the limited edition bundle.

Vintage items, such as cassettes, become trendy again because older consumers embrace the nostalgia of their youth and a new generation of customers discover the product.

According to Billboard, cassette album sales increased 74% in 2016 (129,000 copies).

43% of those cassettes were sold on the internet, 33% of the purchases came from independent retailers, and 21% were bought at non-traditional music stores like Urban Outfitters.

In 2016, twenty-five albums sold more than 1,000 copies on cassette as compared to only eight albums in 2015.

Like the popular Record Store Day, which is used to promote the sale of vinyl recordings, there is also a Cassette Store Day.

This year’s Cassette Store Day is scheduled for October 14.

‘Public Enemies: Jay-Z Vs Kanye’ Documentary To Air On Britain’s Channel 4 (TRAILER)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) The long, complicated relationship between two of Hip Hop’s most accomplished performers is being explored in a new documentary set to run on British television.

Public Enemies: Jay-Z vs Kanye is scheduled to air July 31 on the United Kingdom’s Channel 4.

“With unseen footage and exclusive interviews, this [program] reveals the story behind Jay-Z and Kanye West’s spectacular rise, their creative partnership and their colossal falling out,” reads the description for the doc on Channel 4’s website.

The two one-time Roc-A-Fella Records rappers have been closely tied together ever since Ye contributed production for Jay’s 2001 classic The Blueprint.

They went on to work together on numerous songs including “Never Let Me Down,” “Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix),” “Swagga Like Us,” “Run This Town,” and “Monster.”

The culmination of their musical partnership came in the form of the 2011 Watch The Throne collaborative LP.

Over the past year, it appeared Jay and Kanye’s rapport became strained.

Ye publicly called out Jay during a 2016 “Saint Pablo Tour” stop, and Hov had some words for his former protégé on the song “Kill Jay Z” off this year’s 4:44 album.

There have also been reports the native Brooklynite and the Chicago representative are engaged in a legal battle over money related to the Tidal streaming service.

However, everything seemed good between the two megastars in January when sources claimed new Jay-Z/Kanye West music could be on the way.

Usher Appears On ‘Carpool Karaoke’ As Reports Of A $20 Million Herpes Lawsuit Continue (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) It has been a rough couple of weeks in the public relations department for Usher.

The Atlanta-based entertainer has been accused of transmitting herpes to more than one woman.

An anonymous accuser is reportedly suing Usher for $20 million for allegedly infecting her with the STD.

As the Herpes stories continue to spread across the internet, the Confessions album creator is putting his own attention on his talents as an R&B superstar.

The Late Late Show host James Corden brought Usher on the program to take part in the “Carpool Karaoke” segment.

Corden and Ush sang “Yeah,” “Burn,” “Caught Up,” “I Don’t Mind,” and “OMG.”

They also took the time to have dancing lessons and to clean the singer’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

While RadarOnline claims Usher paid $1.1 million to settle a 2012 lawsuit for a herpes infection and TMZ claims a second woman filed a separate emotional distress suit for $20 million, Snopes lists the reports as “unproven.”

The rumor-debunking website writes (in part):

We were also unable to find any civil lawsuit of this kind involving Usher…

We contacted Radar Online and asked them to provide the case number of the lawsuit against Usher, which their article claims was settled with a $1.1 million payment in December 2012. We did not receive any response…

According to TMZ’s first article, the woman’s lawsuit claims that she and Usher had sex in Atlanta, Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana. We could not find any relevant lawsuit in the database of the Fulton County, Georgia Superior Court, and no one from the Orleans Parish Civil District Court was able to find any such lawsuit relating to New Orleans…

And despite our best efforts, we have not heard Usher’s side of the story; we are, therefore, unable to say whether or not the claims published by Radar Online and TMZ are true.

Rick Ross On Signing Women Rappers: MMG: ‘I Gotta F*ck a Couple Times’

(AllHipHop News) Now, the world knows why Rick Ross has yet to sign a female rapper to his MMG label. The reasoning has gotten the rapper mogul n hot water with women and men though.

“You know, I never did it because I always thought, like, I would end up fu—ing a female rapper and fu—ing the business up. I’m so focused on my business,” he told The Breakfast Club. “I just, I gotta be honest with you. You know, she looking good. I’m spending so much money on her photo shoots. I gotta fu*k a couple times.”

Oddly, the question was asked by female co-host.

This is not the first time Rozay has been under fire for these type of comments. The rapper was also under fire in 2013 for lyrics on Rocko’s 2013 hit “U.O.E.N.O.” In the song, it seemed like the rapper condoned rape when he said, “Put Molly all in the champagne/ She ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain’t even know it.” He would later apology stating, “To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize.”
The new controversy has already started picking up steam on social media.

RZA Links With Chipotle For New Ad Campaign

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop star RZA and his Wu-Tang Clan bandmates have teamed up with bosses at fast food firm Chipotle Mexican Grill for a new advertising campaign.

The rap group leader and prolific producer was tasked with creating 51 different sounds to represent each of the natural ingredients used in Chipotle’s meals for the company’s new Savor.Wavs promo.

The project, described as “an immersive digital experience”, is designed to encourage customers to compose their own musical visuals while putting together their preferred menu orders online.

Those who participate on the Savor.Wavs site will be put in the running for a chance to win free food.

Mark Crumpacker, chief marketing and development officer at Chipotle, said of the promo: “SAVOR.WAVS supports our commitment to using only real ingredients in our food – without any colours, flavours or industrial additives. As a parallel to the way we cook, RZA used only natural instruments, and composed them such that each unique combination works beautifully together.”

“I’ve always believed food, like music, has the power to change our day and even shape our world,” added RZA. “SAVOR.WAVS continues to challenge us in how we think about food, what’s real and what’s responsible.”

To launch the initiative, RZA called on his fellow Wu-Tang Clan stars Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon to customize their food orders and create a song, which they then rapped over for a remix.

The rappers are the latest musicians to be recruited by Chipotle officials to push the brand – Alabama Shakes front woman Brittany Howard collaborated with My Morning Jacket’s Jim James to record a cover of the Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way for the company’s animated TV commercial last year.
