REVIEW: “The Fate Of The Furious” Is An Outrageous Thrill Ride

(AllHipHop Reviews) You already know what to expect, if you have seen the Fast and the Furious series. And yet, somehow, some way, “The Fate of the Furious” manages to take the
exciting madness beyond the already insane norm.

It has too be noted: Fast and the Furious is one of the most successful movie series ever and has grossed almost $4 billion. Furthermore, it has survived and endured a number of changes and metamorphoses, most notably the tragic death of actor Paul Walker. It also must be noted that the key to the additive nature of the series is that each movie one-ups the previous. The Fate of the Furious is no different. It started off so peaceful and demure.

At the movie’s onset, Dominic (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are happily married and on their honeymoon in Cuba when their attempt at a normal life is almost immediately thwarted. An infamous cyber terrorist named Cipher (Charlize Theron) twists Dom’s arm so badly, she makes him betray his whole crew. Even Letty is baffled at his behavior. Now, the crew must unite to bring home the man who made them a family and stop Cipher from unleashing chaos on a world scale.

Grand scale is an understatement in this one (as with most Fast And Furious flicks), so put your brain on hold and enjoy the ride of rides.

DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), hackers Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) and Tej (Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges), goofball Roman (Tyrese Gibson), government boss Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) and his new jack protegee (Scott Eastwood) are challenged with the daunting task of getting Dom and destroying Cipher’s diabolical plot. There are a number of twists and turns, including the return of Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), who was the villain in the last of the Fast and The Furious movie.

Listen. “Fast & Furious 8” is a wild, ostentatious ride that won’t likely win any new fans. But, that is not the goal. The goal is to super serve the existing audience and give them all they expect from the franchise. There are There are some incredible moments, like a particularly scary scene in New York City, and then the absurdity of the crew racing a submarine in the arctic while stopping a nuclear warhead from being unleashed on the world. Sheer insanity. However, the movie is entertaining and fun and funny. On top of the fun, there are some genuinely touching, cute moments as well. No spoilers. Enjoy. Escape. Fate of the Furious entertains absolutely, without mercy.

Onward!

Nicki Minaj’s Former Manager Debra Antney Talks Nicki’s Feud With Remy Ma (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Before Nicki Minaj was a global star, the rapstress was part of a camp fronted by artist manager Debra Antney.

AllHipHop.com caught up with Antney to get her thoughts on her former client’s recent face-off with Remy Ma.

“At the end of the day, they’re both very much a part of me. They’re both women,” says Antney. “I don’t particularly care for the women beefing, fighting, and bickering. Because [in] my era, they were all around each other. Even if they fought each other, they still worked together.”

The mother of Waka Flocka goes on to add that she does not see how Nicki and Remy are in each other’s way as far as succeeding as rappers.

“I would love to see us unify with each other. I would definitely like to see women come together,” offers Antney. “I didn’t care for that [beef] at all, so it wasn’t very exciting to me.”

The Love & Hip Hop Atlanta alum also made it a point to state she will never speak badly about Nicki because of their history together.

“[Nicki and I] don’t hate each other. The little that people know – they want to seem to think we do, but we don’t,” she said. “As far as Remy goes, I don’t hate Remy. I want her to win.”

Kanye West Will Not Perform at Coachella

Kanye West, Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Coachella

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West reportedly won’t be taking to the stage at this weekend’s (14-16Apr17) Coachella Festival.

Fans had speculated the Stronger rapper would make a welcome return to live music at the annual festival in California, having last graced a stage in November.

Shortly after this performance he was hospitalized at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center for exhaustion and sleep deprivation.

But reports have confirmed Kanye will not be playing at Coachella.

Rumors about a possible appearance at the festival, which attracts an A-list crowd every year, started because of Kanye’s involvement on hip-hop star ScHoolboy Q’s track “THat Part,” as well as his collaborations with Travis Scott.

Both performers are part of the Coachella 2017 line-up.

All might not be lost though, as Kanye surprised fans at the festival in 2016 when he jumped on stage with A$AP Rocky.

The two weekend event, which kicks off on Friday (April 14), will see acts including Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and Radiohead play sets.

Man Uses Tupac’s Identity For Run-Ins With The Law!

(AllHipHop Rumors) We live in a crazy world man!

Extreme Tupac fans seem to always wish that the late, great rapper is still alive and will make an appearance in 2017. It seems that we were almost close when news hit that a 45-year-old man named Tupac Amaru Shakur had been arrested in LA last month.

Dang man almost doesn’t count, but here’s the real plot twist. According to TMZ, cops booked a 45-year-old man named Tupac Amaru Shakur last month. Although it’s NOT the RAPPER, dude “has” the same name and same birthday, June 16, 1971. ISSA SCAM!

According to law enforcement, the suspect’s real name is Clarence Campbell, but he uses Tupac as an alias. What’s crazy is the fact that he’s used Pac’s name on multiple arrests including battery. It looks like cops definitely got a chance to attach his real name to his arrest records though.

As far as I’m concerned, dude needs to get more time for the flat out disrespect. Y’all gotta stop thinking you are the second coming of Tupac. Troy Ave….Boosie… y’all too! Carry on!

Big Sean May Have To Come See Joe Budden!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Joe Budden is certainly one of the most opinionated rappers period, and he certainly has all of the right platforms to continuously tell folks what he’s thinking.

The fact that Big Sean believes he’s one of the greatest rappers probably will leave him feeling some kind of way about Budden’s recent comments!

Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks recently took time to discuss who the best rapper alive is on their new segment with Complex, ‘Everyday Struggles’.

“Big Sean has quality music; he’s got image. He’s got all of that sh-t down to a T. He has not built the level of trust that his peers are. The people that he’s battling with, Drake, Cole, and Kendrick..from the mixtape days every time they have come out, we trust that they will deliver quality product from front to back…Sean put out a mixtape that was absolute trash. My main point is, Sean probably has every single right to say I rap better than all three of them and he does, but we are judged on our bodies of work, and Sean has albums and mixtape in his body of work that are entirely too trash for us to be able to trust him the way we trust Drake, Cole, Kendrick,” said Budden.

Seeeeee I knew it wasn’t just me! I always said I liked Big Sean, but it’s never been a love thing. It’s almost like I like his freestyles, mixtape, cypher moments etc more than the music he puts out. It’s like some of the music is corny man.

Now folks are feeling like Big Sean has too many mediocre albums, and his raps/songs tend to be too corny to be mentioned as one of the greatest rappers of today’s generation. It’s like Sean has lyrics on certain tracks, but people aren’t quick to put him in the J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar categories.

What are your thoughts? Does Joe Budden have a point?

Wendy Williams Accuses Tyrese Of Being Gay!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Tyrese hasn’t been much of a fan-favorite lately, especially among women!

The R&B crooner and actor always gets himself in trouble with the controversial statements he makes. Black women aren’t too fond of Tyrese either especially with his comments about weave and fake enhancements.

Black women also dogged him and his new wife out when he posted about their secret marriage, referring to her as his “Black Queen” on Instagram. People didn’t feel that she was “black enough” because of her appearance. That argument was crazy in itself though.

Ty was sure to let people know that his new wife has her Masters and is 46% black. Anyway, fast forward to today. Wendy Williams always gives her controversial opinion also, but this time she really took it there when she accused him of being gay.

Some believe that Wendy may be on to something, while others believe Tyrese just likes to project his insecurities and delusions onto everyone else.

Here’s what got Wendy riled up. Tyrese posted and deleted some comments about women that some felt were misogynistic.

“It’s hoes, tramps, and overly aggressive promiscuous women they’re never without a man because they don’t have no standards. They’re ready to have sex with any and everything that’s ready to have sex with them. And you got women who are out here active in these streets. They going to lunches and dinners every night. Private planes, mega yachts, it’s cracking. They are never without. However it comes with a cost, you gonna put a lot of miles on yourself down there,” said Tyrese.

Wendy Williams clapped back saying,

“Tyrese you never say anything bad about men; you’re always talking bad about women. Never anything bad about men…He likes men.”

When I say I can’t wait to hear Tyrese’s clap back. LOL. You know you usually can’t make claims about a man’s sexually without him going off! What are your thoughts? Did Tyrese lie though?

Jay Pharoah On ‘SNL’: They Put People Into Boxes… I’m Not A Yes N-gga (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Jay Pharoah visited Hot 97 this week, and the comedian – and part-time rapper –  talked about his exit as a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

“If you have multiple people on the cast saying things like, ‘You’re so talented, you’re able, they don’t use you and it’s unfair and it’s making us feel bad because they don’t use you,'” said Pharoah.

He continued, “They put people into boxes. Whatever they want you to do, they expect you to do. I’m fiery too… I’m not a yes n-gga. That’s not me.”

Pharoah then spoke about being asked to wear a dress for a skit on the show.

“I’m not putting on a dress. I’m not getting no tweets from David Banner. He was like, ‘Yo man, don’t put on no dress.’ I was like, ‘alright, cool, I got you David.’ I ain’t never do it,” stated the Virginia native.

According to Pharoah, he was nearly fired in 2013 after pushing for more diversity on SNL.

“A lot of people are scared of [show creator] Lorne [Michaels],” Pharoah claimed. “I respect the hell out of him, but if I want to talk to you, I’ll go up to you, ‘Hey man, this is what I’m feeling. What’s going on?'”

Jay Pharoah is scheduled to perform at Carolines On Broadway in New York City on April 14 and April 15.

The 29-year-old entertainer also has the half-hour comedy series White Famous coming to Showtime.

Troy Ave Suggests Taxstone Is A Snitch & A Fraud

(AllHipHop News) The 2016 deadly shooting at New York City’s Irving Plaza led to the separate arrests of Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave and podcast host Taxstone.

According to Bossip, Taxstone’s lawyer is seeking to get his client out of jail on bail by questioning why Troy Ave was granted bail despite what he sees as having more serious charges.

Attorney Ken Montgomery also argued Troy Ave and his entourage were implicated in another club shooting days prior to the Irving Plaza incident.

Troy addressed Taxstone’s latest legal maneuver in a now-deleted Instagram post featuring the Bossip article.

The IG message included the self-described “NuPac” suggesting Tax is a rat and a fraud.

Besides the judicial troubles associated with this case, Troy was also shot during the melee backstage at the T.I. headlining concert on May 25, 2016.

Troy’s friend and bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter was killed, and other bystanders were injured during the gunfight as well.

Is Kendrick Lamar Dropping Another Project This Weekend?

(AllHipHop Rumors) As if Kendrick Lamar didn’t JUST give us a great album with ‘Damn’, it looks like he may have more new music to drop in the same week!

K. Dot has had us all talking since he surprised fans with “The Heart Part 4”, and now folks have been speculating that the Compton rapper may be dropping another album called ‘Nation’ this weekend.

One thing’s for sure is he said his focus and goal with subject matter is to talk more about God during these runs as he explained last month to New York Style Magazine that he wanted to speak more about the major component of life: GOD!

“We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God. Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system,” said Kendrick.

As y’all know, the stans sometimes wild out, so one in particular, @LuxaryStyles, took time to put together an investigative report on Kendrick’s alleged forthcoming album, and it’s….well it’s over the top. LOL.

The fan explores the fact that Kendrick warned us that he would be dropping two classics back to back. He also discusses the fact that Kendrick’s ‘Damn’ dropped on Good Friday, and ‘Nation’ may be released on Sunday, as Kendrick dies on ‘Damn’ and Jesus was resurrected on Easter Sunday. Hmmmmm it’s a bit much, but we’ll see on Sunday. LOL. You can check out the rest of his claims below.

It also didn’t help that TDE’s Soundwave tweeted suggesting that another version of the project could be coming.

“But what if I told you that’s not the official version,” tweeted TDE’s Soumwave.

Chris Brown Confirms Whether Or Not He’s Upset With Quavo

(AllHipHop Rumors) Chris Brown is apparently fed up with the fake news reports.

Rumor hit that Chris Brown was allegedly mad at his good friend, Migos member Quavo, since Quavo has been rumored to be dating Breezy’s ex, Karrueche.

Chris Brown has told the public a time or two that TMZ makes up stories on him, and they never get their facts right when it comes to him. He even posted and deleted a repost from a fan that said,

“If you read an article that says “Sources close to Chris Brown told TMZ” and you keep reading it or believe it, CONGRATS YOU’RE A M####.”

While TMZ may have gotten this one wrong, I’m still wondering how Quavo is getting off the hook easy with Chris Brown since we know that Chris has beefed with everyone about that girl. Chris is definitely not over her. Do you think Chris just doesn’t want those problems with Quavo and Migos?

Did Lil Wayne’s Fiancee Give Birth To His Fifth Child?

(AllHipHop Rumors) While Lil Wayne may be going through it with Birdman, it looks like he may have a new reason to smile.

Rumor has it that Lil Wayne and his long-time fiancee Dhea may have welcomed the rapper’s 5th child.

Am I the only one that still wants to know where the heck did Dhea come from, and believes that she really isn’t Wayne’s girl?

Anyway as you know Lil Wayne already has 4 kids with his baby mama club that includes Toya Wright (who was actually his ex-wife), Nivea, Lauren London, and Sarah Vivan.

I forgot Dhea was said to have been pregnant last year when folks were saying that they wouldn’t let people take pictures of a very pregnant Dhea at a Christmas gathering.

Well it’s good to see that Wayne had slowed down on his baby making before this one. Remember when some of his baby mamas were pregnant around the same time?

Weezy and Dhea seem oddly paired, but if this is true, congrats to Weezy and Dhea.

Kodak Black Wants His Baby Mama Punished Over Her “Broke Lies”

(AllHipHop Rumors) Kodak Black is still not here for his baby mama!

According to the 19-year-old rapper, his baby mama has been telling some pretty big lies during their child support and custody case.

Kodak Black doesn’t believe his baby mama, Jammier Broomfield, is as poor as she claims, and because of her poverty lies, he wants her punished in their custody battle over their son King Khalid.

According to Bossip, Black filed a motion last month to slap sanctions on Broomfield for perjury and knowingly providing false information after the 19-year-old mom claimed that she was unemployed and too broke to pay her less than $300 filing fees. Broomfield also requested that Black pay her emergency child support and all of her legal bills.

Bossip has also learned via Kodak’s camp that Broomfield financial status has been questioned after she quit her job and leased a BMW in the same month.

Broomfield’s lawyers have been clapping back claiming that she can’t keep a job because she can’t afford daycare, and has been living with her parents after she dropped out of high school. Her lawyers are also claiming that Kodak doesn’t pay his child support consistently, but Kodak has clapped back with some receipts from this year.

What’s crazy is, whether or not this woman is lying about her financial troubles, she’ll probably still be victorious in the case because of Kodak’s recent criminal charges and various run-ins with the law.

All of this could’ve been avoided had someone wrapped it up. LOL.

Young Thug Reportedly Owes Millions!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Things aren’t looking so good for Thugger!

Apparently Young Thug’s former manager, Manny Halley, wasn’t lying when he said the rapper’s finances were messed up!

Halley previously claimed that Thugger was experiencing devastating debt so bad that he couldn’t even pay his light bill and cell phone bill.

There has been a lot of finger pointing on who is to blame, but Halley maintains that Thugger’s financial woes are a result of mismanaged money by David Weise and Associates!

Welp, according to this new lawsuit, Thugger’s money may be looking a bit low.

According to the AJC, Heritage Select Homes, LLC filed a lawsuit claiming that Young Thug owes more than $2.2 million in payments for his home in Atlanta’s Buckhead Heights neighborhood.

Apparently Thugger had an agreement on the home that include a promissory note with balloon payments to help document and clarify the terms of his loan since it’s designed to have one or more larger payments due at the end of the repayment period.

Under this balloon promissory note agreement, Thugger was reportedly scheduled to pay $86,500 on Oct. 19; $86,033 on Nov. 19; $150,567 on Dec. 19; and then two more payments of $14,667 in January and February.

On March 19, Thugger was supposed to pay a sum of $2,214,667 on the home, but Young Thug failed to make that payment, according to the lawsuit filed by Atlanta-based firm Knight Johnson, LLC.

Dang Thug, throw a house party and invite us fast in case you have to move. Thugger doesn’t seem too bothered though. He’s enjoying life as a easy, breezy, Thugger girl. Lawd.
