Today on News One Now, Host and Managing Editor Roland S. Martin spoke with panelists Barbara Arnwine and NBC Black Contributor Lauren Victoria Burke about the extreme backlash of Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas’ hair while competing in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. During the conversation, Martin said that the attack on Douglas showcases the deeply rooted self-hatred in the Black community.
“These attacks on Gabrielle Douglas, largely by African Americans, about her hair speak to also deep seeded internal self-hatred that goes beyond entertainers that actually happens in our families, that happens at church,” said Martin. ”I’m removing Gabrielle Douglas; I’m saying this is something we have to continue with. It is so deep seeded because we have been conditioned to hate blackness.”
Slim Thug made an appearance on “Basketball Wives: L.A.” last night, kind of. Slim Thug received a Facetime call from, Duffey, who boasts about Tami’s daughter Jazz.
The very opinionated and expressive rapper Wale is certainly not one to bite his tongue or hide how he feels on social media.
Wale took to Twitter to voice his frustration over the lack of respect and credit he receives.
One of Wale’s tweets was perceived by party host and socialite YesJulz to be a shot fired. Wale said,
“Y’all make ppl famous .. And be mad they famous. F-ck u culture vultures Ol ‘I got 3 black friends’ head ass.”
YesJulz replied by saying,
“& a man that takes shots at a lady Bc he is upset she gets more views than all his music videos combined is pretty corny.”
Wale & YesJulz went on to have a back and forth subliminal exchange on Twitter that didn’t include many direct tags. Julz also put Wale on blast saying that he reached out to her and her team in the past to promote his single “My PYT,” but her team advised her to decline because he allegedly consistently disrespects women.
Wale came ready with shots also as he poked fun at the fact that clips from a sex tape involving Julz also recently surfaced online. Wale tweeted,
“Moaney in the middle. U can come on here and show out all u want .. We know u think black women hate u . We know u think black men want u.”
What are your thoughts? Is Wale right about YesJulz being a culture vulture? Should she worry about her leaked sex tape more than Wale?

(AllHipHop News) Young Thug has made an undeniable mark in music thanks to his abstract fashion as well as his performances on songs such as T.I.’s “About The Money” and Rich Gang’s “Lifestyle.”
Is the Atlanta-raised rhymer planning to switch up his professional persona? According to Thug’s 300 label head Lyor Cohen, a name change could be imminent for the Slime Season 3 mixtape creator.
“The reality of the situation is Young Thug is not going to be ‘Young Thug’ anymore. His new name is going to be ‘No My Name Is Jeffery.’ That’s his new name,” Cohen stated during an interview with the Rap Radar podcast. “And the reality is when you see this commercial, you’re all going to understand what we do here at 300. Because it’s powerful images of what makes someone Young Thug and what the evolution and how someone is Jeffery. It’s a circular thing, it’s important.”
The veteran music executive continued, ‘No My Name is Jeffery’ is on its way. Please respect us to actually segue and utilize his name going forward because it’s important.”
The man born Jeffery Williams is scheduled to release a new music collection titled Jeffery on August 16.
Listen to a segment of Lyor Cohen’s interview below.
Hip-Hop group MeWe Crew drops a new single titled “Complicated” featuring Piru Millz.
Blood brothers Horny Devil and Poindexter say their music is based on spirituality, and it has been that way since they were children, who grew up as the sons of a Baptist preacher and a stay at home mom.
“What’s ME without WE? Nothing,” said group member Poindexter. “Having the same passion but trying to achieve it separately was how we were doing things. Having a strong family bond and support system, we decided to work together.”
In 2012, the guys found out their father had cancer. On June 21, 2014, their father passed away, but not before telling his boys to do what they had to do, in pursuit of their careers.
“The man that taught and raised us, the one who prayed for us, who wanted us to be great, was gone. It was time to bond, to work together, to continue his legacy, to make him proud…The birth of the MEW3 CREW.”
“We write our own lyrics and produce our own tracks. We are musically inclined and play a plethora of instruments such as drums, piano, trumpet, bass and lead guitar to name a few,” said Horny Devil, who specializes on the drums.
The group, which is influenced by Outkast, Terry & Jimmy, Gamble & Huff, KC & JoJo, Lauryn Hill and others, want to promote a positive message through their music.
Check out “Complicated” featuring Piru Millz below:
Chicago’s Yung Stakks has been a busy boy since since the release of “Stakk Money” at the end of last year.
On the heels of that smash was a ‘mixtape before the mixtape’ titled “Off My Chest,” followed by the video for “Sell Dope & Gang Bang” Feat. G. Herbo (SDGB) which garnered well over 600K views, and his new full length project, “In My Own Lane” hit iTunes and Spotify back in June with a DatPiff release date of 8/23.
On the visual for “Ballin,” the first single from the Don Cannon-hosted album, Stakks is giving game on how to keep those pockets fat over an addictive Zaytoven beat.
Enjoy it after the jump and keep your ears open for “Ballin” on a radio near you.
(AllHipHop News) Fetty Wap’s former associate P-Dice has unleashed a vicious diss track toward the Remy Boy frontman on a new track called “No Vaseline 2.”
The Paterson, New Jersey native was once a part of Fetty’s click, but things went sour after P-Dice was arrested and hit with attempted murder and weapons charges for his role in a shooting that injured a seven-year-old boy in February.
“It was while watching the film, N.W.A. on TV, that I was inspired to use Ice Cube’s ‘No Vaseline’ as a cover to my diss track,” P-Dice told AllHipHop.com. “I am very passionate about my music and career. I feel like the modern day Ice Cube in the flesh with regards to what is going on in my career. I could definitely relate to what Cube was experiencing, so I selected his record to express myself musically”.
Not only has the relationship turned sour, but to make matters worse, P-Dice claims he is owned a substantial amount of publishing from Fetty Wap for the singles like “6,7,9.”
“When we were coming up, I was doing the majority of the writing. I came up with a lot of the ideas. I gave RGF their style and even put the group together”, affirms Dice.
Ralo Wonder said there was no doubt that his Wonder Boy label was going to back P-Dice in an attempt to recoup what is owed to his new artist.
“We are looking to recoup from that as well,” explained Ralo Wonder. “When Fetty Wap first got on, he even stated that this level of success wasn’t supposed to be happening to him, but that this acknowledgement of talent should have been awarded to Dice. On top of all of this business of music, Dice feels betrayed by his very own blood cousin, Nitt Da Gritt, who chose to stay with Fetty over siding with family.”
P-Dice has more new music on the horizon, via a new mixtape. Even the title, “From Remy Boyz to Wonder Boy” is a direct affront to his former crew.
Check out P-Dice’s “No Vaseline 2” diss record to Fetty Wap below:
In the music and entertainment industry it seems like you can’t even trust those closest too you at times.
Rumor has it that Dej Loaf fired her manager, Joy, after she allegedly stole $50K from Dej’s account.
It didn’t help that the manager also set all of her social media account pages to private and deleted all photos of Dej off of her page. Is it greed or are these folks not being paid well? Broke or not, one’s moral compass should still work.
Didn’t Dej get into a scuffle with her former management last year?
(AllHipHop News) Tom Morello and his rap/rock supergroup Prophets Of Rage had to move a planned prison concert outdoors last week, after they were banned from playing inside.
The politically-charged band, made up of members of Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, and Rage Against the Machine, was booked to rock out for 800 inmates at a state prison in Norco, California in support of the Jail Guitar Doors charity, which provides musical instruments to convicts as a form of rehabilitation.
However, authorities blocked the gig, with officials at the California Department of Corrections ordering the shutdown “just before showtime,” according to CBS Los Angeles.
Explaining the situation, Morello said, “We were denied at the last minute because apparently they got some calls from right-wing nuts in Sacramento who said they were going to foment rebellion. What we meant to do is come here to play a great show.”
Instead, Prophets of Rage staged the show outside prison walls, and made sure to crank up the volume so the inmates could enjoy the music too.
The supergroup, which was formed in May, previously hit headlines last month, when it performed a free protest gig at an anti-poverty rally in Cleveland, Ohio on the opening day of the city’s Republican National Convention, during which controversial billionaire Donald Trump was officially declared the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.
The Tennessee rapper is likely the next Top Dawg Entertainment act to release a project, but the CEO of the label has also revealed Ab-Soul and Jay Rock are close to returning as well.
“We working, wut y’all doing ? [Jay Rock’s] project 80% done,” wrote Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith on Instagram.
Tiffith jumped back on IG to post, “Just got the [Ab-Soul] final mixes in!!!!!! I like that (Khaled voice)… Release date coming soon…”
(AllHipHop News) Drake fans can look for more content from the Toronto native in the near future. The new release will be a short film titled Please Forgive Me.
Champagne Papi briefly addressed the project on his Instagram page. He wrote, “‘PLEASE FORGIVE ME’ featuring music from the album Views COMING SOON.”
Back in 2015, Drake dropped the mini-movie Jungle prior to If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late arriving online. The OVO produced flick included childhood home video footage, news clips, and more.

(AllHipHop News) According to polls, Donald Trump is currently in trouble in his quest to be the next president. The Republican nominee’s regular controversial statements have alienated a lot of potential voters.
Grammy-winner John Legend sat down with The Lowdown with Diana Madison. The conversation included the Southside With You film producer discussing Trump.
“That’s been the theme of his whole campaign is like brown people, people of different countries, we should treat them differently and they’re not like us and they have to meet a different test for them to be really American,” said Legend. “He’s been treating the President like that for a few years now.”
The R&B star added, “It’s very disrespectful and it’s racist also.”
Southside With You is a love story aboutBarack Obama and Michelle Robinson Obama’s first date in 1989. Legend also spoke about the Obama’s legacy as public figures.
“I think they’ve been a remarkable couple, just on a personal level how they’ve raised their daughters and how they’ve presented as a couple to the public I think has been beautiful to see,” stated Legend. “And then secondly as politicians, as leaders of the country and the free world, I think they’ll leave behind a record of a lot of success.”
(AllHipHop News) Los Angeles emcee Murs is set to run the third installment of Where You At? L.A. on Wednesday, August 17 at 7 PM PT.
The Hip Hop talk show will feature appearances by J Boog, Kyle!, and Warm Brew. Other surprise guests could be included on the episode as well.
Where You At? L.A. will stream live on Boost Mobile’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. Viewers are able to interact with the show, suggest interview questions or throw out a topic for freestyle performances.
“The questions that are coming in for the artists are actually coming from the fans, instead of me coming with a list of preset questions that could be generic or questions everyone’s heard before,” Murs told AllHipHop.com in July. “The fans feel like they’re getting to kick it with their favorite artist.”
It looks like everyone is tired of Tory Lanez mentioning and taking shots at Drake, A-list producer Boi-1da included.
Boi-1da took to Twitter to express his frustrations with an unnamed artist that is clearly Tory Lanez. He tweeted,
“One dude is selling out Madison Square Garden 4 nights, and the other dude trolling for attention & record sales. There’s levels to this.”
Clearly the first person referenced would be Drake as he and Future’s ‘Summer Sixteen’ tour featured four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. The latter would be Tory Lanez as he continues to take shots at Drake, backpedal, and take shots again. He even does things for attention.
Recently when asked about Drake, he said that he’s better, and he even recently suggested that Drake isn’t “good” in Philly, but he is. Lanez also sends subliminal shots at the 6 God on the regular.
Boi-1da and Tory Lanez sort of had an exchange a few months ago when Boi expressed that he was tired of hearing terrible Dancehall attempts, to which Tory replied with a link to his song “Luv” that includes elements of Dancehall.
Boi-1da seems to have a point about Tory Lanez trolling folks and trying to come up off of his drawn out feud with Drake in order to get more attention and more sales for his debut album, ‘I Told You’, that is due out in August.
Tory has to just focus on putting out good music and let the Drake stuff go.
One dude is selling out Madison Square Garden 4 nights, and the other dude trolling for attention & record sales. There's levels to this.
