By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Young Thug, a.k.a. Jeffrey, has certainly got his fans pretty hype for the release of his ‘Jeffrey’ mixtape. He even teased fans with an August 16th release date. When the 16th passed fans started giving Thugger the side eye causing him to apologize for the delay.

Some believed the project may drop August 26th, but Thug revealed that the project was actually supposed to drop on the 16th which happened to be his birthday. Last-minute changes have caused the delay.

Young Thug took to Instagram to explain the fact that he caused the delay with wanting to change his cover art.

“Yo I’m so sorry to my fans. The reason why the mixtape isn’t out is because of the photo that they wanted to use I didn’t like the photo and I know my fans wouldn’t like the photo as much as the photo that I’m gonna use. It will be out in the next one or two days. I promise you. But right now I’m gonna drop one song off of it and I hope you guys enjoy it,” said Young Thug.

To make up for the mixtape’s delay, Thug posted a photo and video clip of him with Wyclef Jean. The video clip previews Jean wishing Young Thug a happy birthday and is a teaser of a collaboration between the two. Well we are waiting Thugger.

The “Live Your Life” star and wife Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle, who wed in 2010, have become the subject of gossip suggesting they are heading for a split. The couple has remained quiet about the reports, but a representative for Tameka is now insisting there is no truth to them.

“Tameka Harris has read so much about her marriage in the past few weeks that it’s time to set the record straight and really educate everyone on the facts,” a statement from Tameka’s representative to Access Hollywood reads. “Certain blogs have ‘reported’ that she’s going to be a single mom, she’s getting a divorce, she has a new residence and everything in between.

“On behalf of Mrs. Harris this is the truth – Tameka and T.I. are good. They love each other and they have a beautiful family with 7 amazing children. For them it will always be family over everything.”

The couple welcomed a baby girl, named Heiress Harris, in May (16).

T.I. and Tameka are also parents to two sons, King and Major, while Tiny gave birth to a stillborn daughter, named Leyah, in 2007.

T.I. also has three children from previous relationships, while Tiny is mom to another girl from a past romance.

Drake’s ‘Views’ Becomes First 2016 Album To Reach Triple Platinum Status

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Drake has collected another platinum plaque. His recent album Views is now certified triple platinum.

A majority of those three million units came from streaming numbers. As of July, Views actually sold around 1.3 million copies.

With the shifting of music consumption to a more streaming based model, reaching 3x plat is still a major accomplishment. In fact, Views is the first album released this year to achieve that status.

Drake’s previous album Nothing Was The Same has been certified 3x platinum and Take Care is 4x platinum. His “mixtape” If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late currently sits at 2x platinum.

Views is up for Album Of The Year at the 2016 BET Hip-Hop Awards. The LP is a chart and sales smash, but it is also the worst reviewed project of Drake’s career.

Young Thug-Inspired Rapper Kyyngg Begs Birdman To Unblock Him On Instagram

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Young Thug 2.0, rapper Kyyngg is a little bit bothered by the fact that Birdman blocked him on Instagram. The 21-year-old New Orleans rapper used the social network to ask his fans to send a message to Birdman to unblock him. Kyyngg said,

“Listen, I got a major problem this morning. I tried to click on, Birdman’s page and see what big homey been up to. And it was like my s**t said ‘blocked,’ like, I can’t click Bird’s page. So, I want all y’all ask Bird, just tell him Kyyngg want you to unblock him so he could, you know, show love and support, what he got going on? Tell that man unblock me, f**k all that! Big dawg, unblock me off that Instagram s**t!”

Maybe Birdman blocked Kyyngg because he was trying to do to Young Thug what Thug was trying to do to Lil’ Wayne. It also didn’t help that Kyyngg dropped a mixtape of the same name on the same day as Young Thug (‘Slime Season 3’). These rappers today. SMH.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Lil B has been viewed by some as the epitome of Hip Hop’s decline and by others as a visionary of the digital age. Hate him or love him, The BasedGod has managed to remain relevant for this entire decade.

The West Coast representative recently spoke with Dazed. The interview featured Lil B discussing his participation in the feminist movement.

“I definitely see myself as as much a feminist as I can try to be. I know I’m not perfect, but I definitely feel the connection with women. I feel them,” said Lil B.

While the 27-year-old rapper has not released an official studio album since 2011’s I’m Gay (I’m Happy), he has logged in time working with Frank Ocean on the R&B singer’s forthcoming LP.

“Frank Ocean was amazing. He called me to come out and do some stuff for his album, Boys Don’t Cry, that’s coming out,” revealed Lil B. “Frank is amazing. He’s a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. He’s a very strong man, a very strong person. Anything that I can do to help him, I will.”

“I feel. I’m a feeler and I love. I think of what people said about Albert Einstein. Especially in Albert’s time! That’s how I feel about it,” responded Lil B.

50 Cent Goes In On Producer L.T. Hutton Over B.M.F. Series

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

You can’t really win with 50 Cent. Either he is going to start some beef or he’s going to finish it.

50 recently went at producer L.T. Hutton over allegedly running his mouth about the fact that 50 Cent is doing a B.M.F. series.

Apparently L.T. acquired the film rights to the story a few years back and he is not happy about 50 doing anything around the story.

50 Cent took to Instagram to express his frustration with the producer.

“This MC Hammer looking ass ni**a EF Dutton running around talking crazy, Because I’m doing the BMF series. Now you know you gotta say all that when you see me. I don’t want to hear nothing, I’ll run into you. THAT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA!”

Drama certainly has a way of “finding” 50 Cent. Remember L.T. Hutton is also one of the producers on the Tupac biopic, ‘All Eyez On Me’ Do you think the film will do Pac justice?

Lil Poopy Signs Major Label Deal; Heading To Lifetime’s “The Rap Game”

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) After years of grinding, performing and dropping several viral videos, 13-year-old Boston rapper Lil Poopy has inked a major-label record deal.

Lil Poopy has signed a four year agreement with Epic/Sony, and is in the studio working on his new album now.

Lil Poopy shot to fame in 2013, after a video titled “Lil Poopy getting it in” caused outrage caused it featured the then nine-year-old in sexually suggestive situations with women in a nightclub.

The road to Poopy’s record deal was a bit bumpy.

Luis Rivera was ultimately cleared of any abuse or neglect by The Department of Children and Families.

In June, Lil Poopy’s father/manager Luis Rivera was arrested in Boston as part of a 14-month investigation of high ranking gang members.

Lil Poopy will also be featured on Season 3 of Lifetime’s Hip-Hop show with Hip-Hop mogul Jermaine Dupri, titled “The Rap Game.”

Crazy Legs Of Legendary NY B-Boy Group Rock Steady Crew Is Not A Fan Of New Netflix Show “The Get Down” (VIDEO)

By: G.Avant (@G_Avant)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Crazy Legs of legendary b-boy group Rock Steady Crew shared his bit of criticism recently for Netflix’s new show The Get Down.

Crazy Legs, who founded the Manhattan branch of the global dance crew in 1979, called the new Netflix Show boring and claimed the show lacked a realistic representation of Latinos’ influence on Hip-Hop culture in the city of New York.

“I know there’s a couple of people out there who are unhappy with me, because I’m speaking freely on my opinion on ‘The Get Down.’ That’s cool, you’re entitled to that. But so to am I entitled to speak about what I feel about it being boring, it having not enough Latinos playing the main roles of the kids have helped create this culture. I think continuity wise, script wise, it was lacking, it was off,” Crazy Legs stated.

The Get Down, which is set in the Bronx in the 1970s, puts its own spin on the early era of Hip-Hop culture in the city and stars actors such as Justice Smith, Shameik Moore, and Jaden Smith.

“I’m a Bronx, Puerto Rican, I grew up in Hip-Hop and I’m going to stand up for it,” the legendary B-Boy continued. “You can’t just come into our world, pay a few people and get them to be supportive, just because you did something about Hip-Hop.”

“The Get Down” premiered its first six episodes on Netflix on August 12 and have already caused controversy, as the series features a scene with Will Smith’s son Jaden engaged in a kiss with another male.

The second half of the show’s 12 episode first season is expected to become available for viewing on the video streaming site sometime in 2017.

Trick Daddy Goes Off On Rapper Nino Brown!

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

One thing we know about Trick Daddy is the Miami rapper does not play. Trick took time out to record a video in the rain cussing DJ Khaled’s former artist Nino Brown out!

Trick sent plenty of threats Nino’s way. Apparently one of the things that has upset Trick is the fact that Nino used Trick Daddy’s name in one of his songs without the rapper’s permission or blessing. A very angry Trick Daddy said,

“Somebody let that f*ck ni**a Nino Brown know he can’t go nowhere in Dade County. Your b*tch a** better move to Georgia or Mississippi somewhere. Let me catch you in front of my house doing a video, with all them prop guns. I called Khaled and asked about it. Khaled said he been let your fat a** go cause you were trying to take pictures with his money.”

Nino Brown didn’t take too kindly to Trick’s threats and responded with a freestyle diss on Instagram. He raps over Trick Daddy’s “Let’s Go”.

“Trick f*ckin’ around get stuck in the ground, you don’t know who you f*ckin’ with,” rapped Nino.

This kind of foolery isn’t foreign to either party as Trick Daddy is always spazzing out on camera, and Brown is always somewhere getting called out or slapped up. We will see how this plays out.

Oh yeah Trick says he’s going to stick his finger in Nino’s a** when he sees him. Ummmmm.

Kanye Sets Debut Date For Yeezy Season Four

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

KANYE WEST’s latest fashion creations will hit the catwalk on the opening day of next month’s (Sep16) New York Fashion Week.

A day after the rapper and designer’s Saint Pablo tour stops off at Madison Square Garden, where he hosted the splashy debut of his Yeezy brand’s third season in February (16), West will help launch Fashion Week alongside a Tom Ford presentation and the opening of Cartier’s Fifth Avenue mansion.

Kanye will be hoping for less controversy than that which greeted the debut of Yeezy 3 after he made a last-minute decision to schedule its debut at the same time as other top designers’ events.

Though his decision ruffled feathers, the controversy didn’t seem to affect reviews or sales. West has released no details about the upcoming collection, bar a tweet released even before the debut of season three, in which he announced he was working on a kids’ line.

His three-year-old daughter North West has already sported several custom Yeezy pieces and it appears she would be an obvious muse for dad.

West signed a deal with Adidas earlier this year (Jun16), which will result in a line of Yeezy retail outlets hawking shoes, apparel and accessories, but it’s uncertain whether the sports giant will be producing this next collection.

Fashion fans can expect an event when Kanye unveils his latest creations – at the Madison Square Garden launch in February, his wife Kim Kardashian and members of her family turned out to cheer him on, all wearing items from the new line. The rapper also debuted his new album, The Life of Pablo, at that event. (CM-LO/WNWCWDW/KL)

Pregnant Blac Chyna Loves Cheesesteaks; Rob Racks Up $13k Food Bill In ONE MONTH

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Rumors

We all know women get some pretty crazy cravings when they are pregnant.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are expecting their first child together and are engaged to be married at some point.

Well last night, during a Facebook Live chat, Rob Kardashian revealed Blac Chyna had a serious craving for Philly cheesesteaks during her pregnancy.

In one month, Blac Chyna ordered up $13,000 worth of food for his baby mama.

In Philly, where Jim’s sells the world’s best Philly cheesesteaks, even one with the works would set you back about $10 bucks.

So that means Blac Chyna could have eaten about 1,300 cheesesteaks, assuming Rob’s financials are correct and that’s all she ordered.

Former Detroit Kingpin Who Says “Empire” Based “Cookie” Character On Her Life Wins A Round In Court In $10 Million Battle

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) A real life war is raging over one of the most popular characters on “Empire” and it could end up with director Lee Daniels squaring off with the real life “Cookie Lyon” in court.

Author Sophia Eggleston claims director Lee Daniels and Danny Strong stole the Cookie character from her 2009 memoir, “The Hidden Hand.”

In April, Eggleston, who is a former drug kingpin from Detroit, filed a lawsuit against Lee Daniels and Fox, seeking over $10 million in damages.

Eggleston’s lawsuit claimed she met screenwriter Rita Miller at her home in California in 2011, that resulted in a pitch to Daniels.

Apparently, a judge agreed that there were significant similarities between “Empire,” Cookie Lyons and “The Hidden Hand” and dismissed Lee Daniels’ lawyer’s’ bid to have the lawsuit dismissed.

Both sides will be deposed in the upcoming months as the court battle continues.

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

While some are happy that Kodak Black recently entered a plea deal giving him an early release from jail, he seems to be losing some of his black female fans by the minute.

Kodak has ruffled a few feathers with his lyrics dissing dark-skinned woman.

A video clip surfaced that shows Kodak Black rapping about only wanting “yellow bone” women because he’s already black enough.

“Where them yellow bones? I don’t want no black b*tch. I’m already black. Don’t need no black b*tch,” rapped Kodak

Kodak also raps about wanting to blow money at Saks Fifth Avenue and having to pay these lawyers so that he can stay out of jail, but of course no one was going to let the “no black b*tch” part slide. Oh Kodak.
