(AllHipHop News) Rapper Li’l Kim is shooting down reports that she will aid Remy Ma and her conflict with rapper Nicki Minaj.
Lil Kim gave props to Remy, but said that she is not thinking about “Ol girl” (Nicki Minaj).
“Number one: y’all giving ol’ girl too much credit. I’m not even thinking about that,” Lil Kim told Billboard. “I’m not even thinking about ol’ girl! I’m so far past that. That’s never on my mind.”
Lil Kim said Nicki has not been on her mind for “a long ass time at all” and she made it clear she would be staying clear of Remy’s beef with the Young Money rapper.
The Queen Bee said she was a fan of Remy’s diss track “shETHER,” labeling the song “good hip-hop music” just like Drake’s “Back to Back was hard.”
“I got nothing to do with that. When I had my situation and my situation came up, I handled my business. If anybody comes to me, if ol’ girl came to me, I’ma give them the business,” Lil Kim promised.
“That’s just the bottom line of it. So if it ain’t coming my way, I ain’t got nothing to do with it. Me and Remy is cool. I hate when media do that. That’s the thing,” Lil Kim said.
(AllHipHop News) A Toronto rapper who is on tour with Drake has run afoul of the law back in his hometown.
Rising rapper Pressa is out on the road with Drake on the “Boy Meets World” tour, despite the fact that he’s due in court this October, to face serious gun and kidnapping for ransom charges.
Pressa, 20, is accused of taking part in shooting up a condo and kidnapping somebody for ransom last April.
According to the Toronto Sun, the rapper, born Quinton Gardiner, is also allegedly the leader of the Young Buck Killas gang.
Local police have lashed out at Drake as well for bringing an alleged kidnapper on tour, since Pressa could ultimately be a flight risk.
“I find it troubling,” said Inspector. Mike Earl. “Here’s a guy (who’s) supposed to be on bail on serious charges. Why is he permitted to leave country and tour with somebody who is a literal mentor to the city’s youth?”
Pressa is serving as an opener on the tour, which has made stops in England, Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries.
The say detectives knew that Pressa had been granted a “bail variance” which allowed him to travel for work.
But investigators, who are attempting to get Pressa back to Canada, say they had no idea the rapper would be granted wide-ranging traveling freedoms like luxury jets, tour buses and five star hotels, while he is on the road with Drake.
Inspection said expired milk and raw hamburgers were stored above collard greens and found the mold-like substance growing in the kitchen area.
TMZ.com caught the rapper on camera revealing some good news about his fledgling business.
“I’m very happy, it took less than a week,” 2 Chainz said very calmly. “It took less than a week. As you know, I am a first-time restaurant owner. We had some issues last week that really wasn’t no issues. It was a random inspection on a Friday, one of our best nights.”
The rapper blamed people in the neighborhood for drawing attention to his restaurant, although he did not elaborate.
“You can’t stop what God already has planned for you, so yeah. No one gave us any news credit when we scored a 99. Some people just want to see things go down. Never once did I discredit anybody, it’s a team thing.”
2 Chainz also revealed that he may be expanding Escobar Restaurant & Tapas, which is now offering brunch.
(AllHipHop Features) There are tons of adjectives to describe Raekwon, but there would likely be little resistance to the native New Yorker being labeled a Hip Hop legend. As a member of the iconic Wu-Tang Clan and the creator of the certified classic album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, Rae has stamped his name among the greatest emcees to ever touch a microphone.
However, The Chef is not done. Next month Raekwon returns with his 7th solo studio LP The Wild. The 16-track project is short on Wu member contributions, but Lil Wayne, CeeLo Green, Andra Day, G-Eazy, and P.U.R.E. offer featured appearances.
Raekwon recently ignited the rollout for The Wild with the G-Eazy assisted “Purple Brick Road” as well as the cut “This Is What It Comes Too.” Last week, I caught up with the ICEH20 Records head for a discussion about his new album and more. Here’s part 1 of our conversation.
AllHipHop: I wanted to start with the title The Wild. What does that title represent for you?
Raekwon: The title, The Wild, represents the times that were in and the vibe I’m getting from what I’m seeing going on in the world. And it’s me expressing my energy from the wild side. When you look at the title, it’s kind of self-explanatory.
I look at today’s industry as being a jungle. There are different rules. Me being out in the wild for so long and looking at what it is today, it’s just different. All that I’m doing is expressing myself in the greatest way to let people know that I still get busy on the mic, I can still swing around this jungle and still be the king at what I do.
I really observe the characters that play a role in this music and how they’re so funny, weird and having their own way of judging things. It’s also looking at society with this guy as our president and all the foolishness that’s going on.
Just know, that’s how I’m perceiving the world to be at this moment. It’s wild times. So I felt this title fit the criteria of what’s going on today. It wasn’t like I called it The Wild before I made the album. I called it The Wild after I made the album.
I think I did a freestyle on [Funkmaster] Flex a few years ago over Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya?” beat. I think I said at that time that my next album might be called The Wild. It’s just so ironic that the next album is called The Wild.
As you can see on the cover, it’s the whole New York. It’s Time Square which we changed to Crime Square. I’m bigger than a lot of the people on there. I’m coming through as a giant, as a king. I’m coming to see what’s going on with the industry today. As you look down, you see all these different characters at the bottom. This is how I sometimes perceive what’s going on in the world today.
You see the alligator with the smile on his face. People portray that they’re good people, but in all reality, it’s a crocodile smile. The rat pointing the gun at the mole, he thinks he’s tough. But you’re not really tough because you’re not designed for the repercussions that can come, and then you fold under the pressure.
A lot of sh-t that’s going on is happening in that picture. That’s why I say it’s so many subliminals in that picture. When I sat down with the artist named Dan Lish from out of London, he asked me, “Where do you want to go?” So we had to build this whole vibe from scratch. It came out perfect. It came out exactly what I wanted it to be. That’s why I felt the title was perfect for this album.
AllHipHop: I was going to ask about the cover art. As you were talking, I was thinking about how the image perfectly depicts what you were saying about your attitude on the industry and the world.
Raekwon: And New York City not really having an identity. New York City is going through an identity crisis, not really knowing our music that created everything. Now we just seem a little back-in-time with what we want to do because we don’t really know ourselves anymore at that level.
I’m not saying there are a lot of ignorant dudes out there. You still got guys being successful, but there’s really no citizenship where it’s respected no more. It’s like each man for himself. That’s why we had New York looking kind of old and washed [on the cover art] because that’s how it looks a little bit to me today.
‘The Wild’ Cover Art
AllHipHop: You’ve embraced some of the younger acts that came out of New York. Like you’ve done songs with A$AP Rocky and Troy Ave. Do you feel like it’s starting to shift in a different direction or are you still concerned about where the state of New York Hip Hop is in particular?
Raekwon: Those are my young homies. They’re good friends of mine. The bottom line is that I support everybody that’s just made it from one place to another. If you can get out the ghetto and be successful, God bless you.
I just look at it as it’s all about getting in where you fit in with what’s going on today. There are some things I respect. Then there are some things that I don’t respect. I guess the thing I don’t respect is that a lot of artists are being driven off just some one hit wonder sh-t and not really making music that’s going to be timeless or be around for the next twenty years.
I was blessed to have that type of career, and it’s still going. I just want to see more artists be authentic. It ain’t just about being one-sided. Make a full body of work. Show the people you want to be here twenty years later and you want to be seen as the true artist that you are live out its course.
That’s where things become a little difficult when I look at what’s going on today from an East Coast side of things. I’m sure all over the world, everybody has their flaws. Nobody is perfect. I never said I was perfect, but I just think when you’re an artist you’re supposed to be the best at it. I guess that comes in due time when people go through their situations like anybody else.
My opinion is make money, do the right thing, but also be creative, be a little bit more true to yourself and know that at the end of the day, it takes more than just a little record or two to make you be the big guy. It’s all about that legacy. You want to put yourself in the legendary box one day. I feel like a lot of the music today is not aimed at those principles no more.
AllHipHop: I’m sure there are a lot of people that agree with you that a lot of the music now is disposable. You put in the work to create an album that’s considered a classic and people still talk about it twenty years later. You’ve done a lot in the business. What keeps driving you even though you’ve already achieved all these accomplishments? What keeps motivating you to put out music?
Raekwon: What keeps motivating me is the people. It’s just the good and the bad that comes with being an artist. People putting you on a plateau where they feel like, “Yo, you’ve done excellent work in the business. You lasted this long.”
Then there’s the other side. People think because you’ve been in the game so long you’re old, you don’t got it no more or whatever. All these things – I put in one bag and it makes me stronger, just knowing the good and the bad that’s inside that bag. It’s the challenge of thinking that some guys just get old and lose it.
But here it is. You got me that’s getting older, but still getting iller. I still feel fresh. It’s like seeing a n-gga just get home from jail and that n-gga still looks good – that mentality of feeling good about yourself.
You’re eating right, getting good rest, and doing whatever you have to do to take care of yourself. That’s the same mental picture I draw in my mind when I’m writing and being a great artist. I feel good today.
I feel like the production is up to par. It’s not me trying to be something I’m not. It’s not me jumping around and being confused on what people expect from me. It’s all about the growth. I feel like my growth span is really showing off right now in the greatest way.
AllHipHop: Going back to the album, I noticed you didn’t have as many features as your last work. Ghostface [Killah] is not even on it. Why did you decide to keep the features at a minimum this time?
Raekwon: I decided to do that because I felt like my last album, Fly International Luxurious Art, had a lot of successful people on it. It had more features than I ever had in my career on one record. So I just wanted to do something different.
Every time I give you guys an album, I want every album to be a different movie, not always the same players or the same typical joints. I wanted to really reverse that whole psychology and just go back to being an emcee. I put a few names up there that I never worked with that I felt fit the bar of what it is I’m trying to give you.
So I put Lil Wayne on a record. I put CeeLo Green on a record. I have a new artist. His name is P.U.R.E. I know he’s going to be a great guy in the business. I just wanted to go light, but I wanted to do my thing and let people know that I don’t have to lean so much on doing features.
Not having any of my Wu brothers on there was because the time that I’m in at the moment it just happened to be like that. It ain’t the fact that I didn’t want them. It’s the fact that we’ve heard a lot of records of me with my brothers on it, so I don’t feel like every record got to be with Wu members.
AllHipHop: I know you and Wayne had a song together with Q-Tip. Had you ever worked together prior to that?
Raekwon: We were on records with other people that meshed us together. But me and him never had an opportunity to work with each other like, “This is going to be a record for me and you.” I remember Wayne calling me and wanted me to be on a record.
So automatically, this is how real friends do. We trade favors. So when I got on his record, he felt like it was only right for him to get on something for me. We never worked together through the years, and I respect Wayne a lot.
He’s clever. He always pays homage. He’s a legend in my eyes. I just wanted to call him and just say, “I need you to get on this. I found something that I think you would rip. I think the world is going to be like, ‘Wow. The Chef and Wayne?’”
It sounds almost impossible to create, but that’s only to the eyes of those who don’t understand. But to me it was like, “Yo, it’s time. I just gotta give him something he would really appreciate.” The record I gave him – he went in on it. He smashed it like I knew he would.

(AllHipHop News) Before Lin-Manuel Miranda took over the world with Hamilton, the playwright created the Tony-winning musical In the Heights.
The play is being adapted into a feature film with Hip Hop mogul Jay Z signed on as a co-producer, according to reports.
Harvey Weinstein’s production company is attached to the project as well.
It was announced last year that Jay inked a deal with The Weinstein Company.
“Having known Jay on a personal level for many years we are thrilled by the opportunity to expand our relationship. Jay’s ability to influence entertainment and pop culture has gone well beyond music for many years,” stated Weinstein in October.
Jay Z’s filmography as a producer already includes The Great Gatsby, Annie, Top Five, and The Kalief Browder Story.
In the Heights opened on Broadway in 2008 after Miranda began writing early drafts while still at Wesleyan University.
The story follows characters in a Dominican-American neighborhood in New York City.
Miranda starred as Usnavi, the owner of a bodega in Washington Heights.
(AllHipHop News) Katie Couric is probably not the first name that comes to mind when thinking about Hip Hop journalists, but the veteran media figure was responsible for one of the most famous Lil Wayne interviews.
Miss Katie recently added another Grammy-winning rhymer to her list of Q&A subjects.
She spoke with Chance The Rapper for Yahoo News.
The Chicago native discussed his ESPYs tribute to Muhammad Ali, performing at the White House, not signing to a major label, the birth of his daughter, battling a Xanax addiction, his relationship with his father, the violence in his hometown, and more.
“What is going on is bogus. I think as individual acts, it’s terrifying and also sad,” said Chance about the shootings in Chicago. “Our school system has been underfunded for the past two years. We have some of the strictest gun laws as a state, but there’s a lot of illegal gun trafficking coming from all the states that surround us.”
Chance is also set to link up with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner this week.
“I’m meeting privately with the governor Wednesday. The two of us will address funding education in Chicago. I’m eager to hear his ideas,” wrote the “Summer Friends” performer on Twitter.
Gov. Rauner replied, “Looking forward to hearing your ideas, too.”
“It would be dope if all of the politicians on the left and right could approve a temporary budget that could fund after-school programs at the schools,” Chance told Couric.
I’m meeting privately with the governor Wednesday. The two of us will address funding education in Chicago. I’m eager to hear his ideas.
(AllHipHop News) After dropping “ShETHER,” Remy Ma has not decided to go back-to-back with diss records against Nicki Minaj.
However, it appears Remy is still trolling Nicki by pointing out the chart success of the song.
“Not that I care but… #shETHER #9 rap song on US iTunes,” wrote Rem on Twitter last night.
This morning the Bronx spitter added, “#shETHER #2 C, this Y u shouldn’t base ya life around this. ‘These streets aren’t made 4 every1, that’s why they made sidewalks’ #Barz.”
Nicki’s first response to “ShETHER” was an Instagram post about the low sales of Remy and Fat Joe’s Plata O Plomo album.
The Young Money star later deleted the IG post.
Remy had already conducted a preemptive strike against Nicki’s ability to boast about her many multi-platinum plaques.
“And stop talkin’ numbers, you signed a 360 deal,” rapped Rem on “ShETHER.”
#shETHER #2?
C,this Y u shouldn’t base ya life around this.”These streets aren’t made 4 every1, that’s why they made sidewalks” #Barzpic.twitter.com/E6BHzaNekG
(AllHipHop Rumors) Lil Kim is having a petty party, and Remy Ma is allowed to bring the petty punch!
Over the weekend the internet was forced to pick sides in the Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj beef when Remy ethered Nicki with a diss track called “ShEther”.
Whether or not you are a Nicki fan or a fan of both female emcees, for most the crown was undisputedly given to Remy. You know Lil Kim was immediately team Remy after hearing the track.
Kim, Remy, and Cardi B had a show together, and Kim revealed that she not only loved Remy, but we may also see a collaboration between them.
“Maybe yall might see something in the future. How bout that. Another “Ladies Night”. We may be due for that,” said Lil Kim.
No matter what they do, the song certainly won’t top the original “Ladies Night” or the video, however, we are definitely here for a collaboration! You know they are both going to be firing shots at Nicki doe!
Do you think it would be a smash? How do you feel about the ladies beefing? As long as it’s kept on the track, it’s arguably good for Hip Hop, and good Hip Hop in general. However, would you rather see all of the ladies unite and come together on a track instead of seeing them beef and fight?
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Busta Rhymes recently celebrated the success of his hit single “Pass the Courvoisier.”
Busta assembled a number of his celebrity friends for the event, which took place at Tree Sounds Studios in Atlanta.
Artists like T.I., 2 Chainz, Trae Tha Truth, Kardinal Offishall and others were on hand for the festivities for the single, which was released in February of 2001.
During the event, Malissa “Mali” Hunter, who is the general manager of Tree Sounds, gifted the rapper with a rare bottle of Courvoisier L’essence.
Busta ended the night with a surprise performance of “Pass the Courvoisier,” which is certified platinum and taken from his fifth album Genesis.
Take a look at some pictures from the event:

(AllHipHop News) The Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia Hip Hop scene is becoming one of the brightest in the country.
Rap veterans like Oddisee and Wale helped place an early spotlight on the region, and now a new crop of talented artists are carrying the torch for the DMV.
A new documentary directed by Undine Markus covers some of the rising rappers from the area.
Jay IDK, Chaz French, Phil Adé, Lightshow, and Innanet James were among the rhymers featured in DMV.
Last year, AllHipHop.com covered 12 emerging acts from the locale around the nation’s capital as well.
The #DMVOnTheMove interview series highlighted Jay IDK, Chaz French, Ace Cosgrove, WillThaRapper, Tate Kobang, Rico Nasty, and more.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Future has been dropping music like crazy during the successful run that has been his career, and even lately as the rapper dropped two albums back to back in under two weeks!
Apparently Ellen Degeneres‘ press team has definitely added to the rumors that the Atlanta rapper was gearing up to release yet another album this Friday!
A press release from the Ellen Show went out, that fueled the rumors that Future would really be releasing a third album for his Future Hive this week. The release stated,
“One of the biggest rappers in music, FUTURE is on the show today! He’ll be performing a song from his upcoming CD, “HNDRXX.” He has the #1 album in the country this week with “Future,” and is attempting to have three #1 albums in a row in three weeks – which will make him the first in history to do that! He’s bringing it all to Ellen!”
It actually wasn’t hard to believe that Future had another album ready to go with the way he records music. He says he’s in love with recording, making music, and being in the studio.
Apparently Future’s manager has shot down the claims of a third album though, by calling them “false.” Welp. Almost doesn’t count! Are Future fans ready for new music already?!?
By: Wynne Alexander Political Director, CollegeHipHop.com Wynne Alexander is an investigative journalist who has interviewed national and international artists, icons, sports stars, business and political leaders including Muhammed Ali and Coretta Scott King. She is also the author of the pioneering civil rights book, Get It From the Drums.
Great wonderment how FBI Director James Comey sees fear in every Hillary email but he sees nothing wrong with anything Russia or Trump have done to our country.
Comey told senate and congressional public and private briefings he could not possibly comment on whether there is or should be an investigation of the Russia-Trump election attack. That prompted the conservative Wall Street Journal to call for Comey’s resignation.
So basically a ‘no-comment’ on whether to investigate Russia for attacking The People of the United States’ election.
What the ???
Really ?
Nothing ?
Now he can’t comment?
…That whole election number he pulled on Democrats just keeps smelling worse and worse.
ELEVEN days before the election Comey announced a new investigation into Hillary’s stinking emails. Just had to announce it.
The Wiener made you do it. You claimed the Wiener email discovery forced you to look again and your break-the-rules announcement destroyed a really impressive lead the Democrats had racked up.
Who ? Which w##### really made you do it?
Here’s the REAL problem with your story, Comey — Control-‘F.’
And now Ladies & Gentlemen, join us for ‘the Real Chronologies with Real Investigators.’
So 11 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION, Comey whacks it out there and then takes an entire week to figure it all out and announce again, ‘Ooops – sorry – the emails were duplicates. There’s nothing there for any charges.’
What’s wrong with this picture?
Comey, some of us real pros know better than that.
You, me and any I-T expert could have known they were duplicates within 5 hours – not the better part of 2 weeks.
In fact, anyone with a PC or laptop could have used the ‘Control – ‘F’ process and with that, figured out the new w##### emails were in fact old w##### emails, as you eventually announced, one week before the election.
And here’s more of what real investigators know and should have immediately been reported on all the major TV networks.
You all public figure types also discuss things for days or weeks before you tell the public anything about a new controversy. So by the time the public hears the tiniest first peep, it’s been discussed for at least days or weeks by offices like yours. So instead of 11 days before the election, this cheating poison hash you made up was probably underway for at least 15 days. And in those days of purported care and concern by your office – you could have gathered your entire Hillary email investigation onto a computer and then hit the ‘Control ’ key (or Command key for you MAC people) and the ‘F’ key. Then you enter 3 different, unique key phrases from each of the alleged new-but-not-new emails. Then check for matching word-counts and in doing that, you would have known almost immediately, they were duplicates
AND IT WOULD NOT TAKE 15 DAYS TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
Who knows with more staff – you might be able to do it in a mere 3 hours.
What have they promised you Mr. Comey? How Much Money?
What new job or secret trust fund awaits your kids?
Are the new bank accounts in Zurich or Geneva?
How else to explain the heightened scrutiny on dead emails, dredged and killed again – dredge up – kill again and repeat. And your complete lack of professional interest in Rudy Guiliani’s predicting ‘a big surprise, was coming’ soon from your office and then you actually announced the Hilary email thing. Trump calling on Russia to hack more and his publically proclaimed “love” of “wikileaks.” Then Trump standing with the press on the plane, February 10th, saying he had no idea about Flynn’s Russian talks, that he’d look into it. Then it comes out Trump absolutely knew about Flynn’s Russian talks. So Trump fires Flynn for misleading the Vice president and tricking him into lying to the country that Flynn was clean.
But Don Trump – YOU KNEW that Flynn was lying to the vice president too.
Now we know that you knew19 days before.
So shouldn’t you fire yourself now? You did the same damn thing.
Don Trump, you set Flynn up to set Pence up.
You’re a real setter-upper.
But you’re no president.
You’re fired.
[By the way, is your time in the Whitehouse a new TV version of The Apprentice? Is that why you’ve made more glaring mistakes in one month than most people make in a lifetime?]
Also – where’s Kellyanne ‘Put-the-Con in’ Con-way? Can’t she get you out of this mess?
You know, we were the first ones to call for Kelly the Con-way to be disbarred. She’s a lawyer and unlike you, Don Trump – they answer to a higher authority and they’re not supposed to lie because they are officers of the Court and d##### that still matters and it really matters to the Court.
Just the facts.
No alternative facts.
Comey, since you were in fact making announcements that might influence the election which is against the law in your case, why didn’t you announce you might be looking into the dossier that Sen. John McCain delivered to your door, raising grave questions about Russian involvement in sabotaging the election and possible Trump involvement with Russia? Why not use the occasion to level the playing field, while you’re in announcement-mode, with a warning about a genuine emergency regarding the Russian-Trump scandal and a full-on Russian attack against this country.
Comey – I thought you were an American – mightn’t you have said something about Russia hacking into our election process and all the video of Trump calling for such a hack?
Also In light of Giuliani going on national television announcing ‘something big was coming’ from his sources at the FBI, why didn’t you investigate that since it was already announced by Giuliani himself? Did you miss that lead Sherlock? What the hell kind of an investigator are you?
Instead, you announce the alleged new email problem which the afore-mentioned simple search with three staffers and two laptops with ‘Control- “F” would have seen were duplicates in hours, not weeks. Might this also explain why Unruly Giuliani didn’t get a job in the Trump administration? I guess Trump knows just how much trouble Unruly Giuliani might be in.
Make no mistake – this is not about Hillary Clinton actually winning the election. Which she did. (showing just how badly we need to fix our election process. Right now people living in South Africa have more guaranteed voting rights than we do. )
What the hell is a voting Rights Act anyway? It has to be renewed and can be changed. We the People of the United States need a voting rights LAW and we need penny-ante criminals to stop their crooked con games with voter suppression programs. Here’s the greatest democracy in the world, supposedly and these punks want to stop people from voting.
Disgraceful oligarch behavior with heavy white trash overtones.
The people of the United States were attacked by Russia and they used the platform of the 2016 presidential election to assault this country’s sovereignty and security. They used our sacred franchise to attack us. The Russians used one of the most important developments in the history of mankind – The Vote – to attack us.
They ATTACKED US. It is a sad day in hell when somebody’s hatred for a political party or girl political candidate is so vast, it stops those same people from seeing that they were just shot in the chest and are in fact, bleeding.
That’s some strong, hate-based JuJu.
(Maybe that’s how JujGuliani got his name.)
Comey at the same time you’re pretending there’s a problem with Clinton – it’s reported you had to announce it because you’re afraid of leaks in your office. Guiliani is on TV talking big time about his sources in your office. You state you’re officially afraid of leaks, all the while you have the Trump dossier in your lap, delivered by Republican Senator John McCain – but you don’t investigate any of that?
None of that is bigger than Hillary’s stinking emails?
Really?
You must be in a coma Comey.
And I guess you thought we’d never find out about any of this.
Whatever will you do now?
Has Putin offered you a job and paid dinners like Flynn? Is he gonna buy you and dinner?
(–Cue the band –) “Shame Shame Shame – Shame on You collaborating money junkie, signifying monkey, educated fool. You gonna be the pool boy at Mar-a-lago ? (“Youzzir Mr. Benny. Maybe Comey is the new Steppin-Fetchit.”)
The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. They worked so hard to put safeguards in place to protect against guys like you and Trump. The cynical Trump Agenda, harming the ‘little people’ who voted for you while the fake Republican Party of Oligarchy tries to suck the last public dollars from the public, fulfilling the Mercer-Koch Brothers – Dominion agenda. PLEASE someone find the real Republican Party. Swearing you’re for the little guy – Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower just dropped dead again.
How much money do the cheating Exxon ‘no global warming’ Koch agenda Haliburton villainous billionaires need, to let the rest of us, including the good, genuinely philanthropic billionaires, live in peace and prosperity?
How much? We’ll pay you.
What are you going to make on your next war? We’ll give you a third up-front, not to kill people. Maybe the world can get together and do a kick starter crowd funding and buy you all off. How much to let us breath, financially and physically, and drink clean water – none of which is easily done right now throughout the great United States of America.
Little Guys One after another they’re sorry they voted for you Don Trump and they call you names. I hear the words ‘rotten pigs’ a lot out there. But why give the pigs a bad name? It’s a shame. Maybe the pigs will sue you too. Like those poor guys you ripped off at Trump University. I wonder how many of those white men voted for you? I wonder how many will never vote for you again. Happy record-low approval ratings, Don Trump. I know that makes things very tiny for you. Like cold water in a speedo.
Don Trump, Comey and Kelly the Con-Way: the pigs are very angry about what you’ve done to them. D##### – y’all have given the pigs a bad name. You have defamed the pigs.
But wait – since Kelly the Con-Way is a lawyer – maybe she’d be willing to represent these pigs too?
PS: Comey, which is it for you? Legacy of the Louse or are you an American currently playing possum and actually investigating this fetid quagmire? Because if that’s true, you need to speed it up before something dreadful happens in this new, massive Trump Swamp Polecat Creek and Spa.
(AllHipHop News) Singer Lauryn Hill has postponed a Pennsylvania concert set for Monday (February 27) due to a scheduling conflict.
The Fugees star was scheduled to hit the stage at the Byham in Pittsburgh on Monday to make up for being three hours late to a show at Heinz Hall in the city last month, but the gig has been moved to an early summer date.
“Due to a scheduling conflict, Ms. Lauryn Hill’s performance at the Byham Theater has been moved to Friday, June 2,” a statement reads. “All tickets purchased for the February 27 show will be valid for the new date.”
“Due to the snow yesterday in NYC (New York City), half of my band, and some members of my crew, were stuck at LGA (LaGuardia) airport all day. After several cancelled and delayed flights throughout the day, they arrived late last night, and went straight to the venue for the show.”
Hill admitted “in hindsight,” she should have made the decision to axe the gig and reschedule, but wanted to press on with the show for those who had waited patiently for her arrival.
It’s not the first time the 41-year-old has showed up hours late for a show – last year, she was two hours late for a concert in Atlanta, Georgia. She subsequently apologized, claiming her “perfectionist tendencies” had delayed the start of her performance.
(AllHipHop News) Pharrell Williams and comedian Ellen DeGeneres have joined Lady Gaga for REVLON’s new global social movement, The Love Project.
Lady Gaga teased the project on Twitter this week with a mystery message to her followers.
“I’m so proud @BTWFoundation (her Born This Way Foundation) and I are partnering with #theloveproject2017,” she wrote.
Her post failed to shed much light on the exact nature of the collaboration, but she then called on fans to “Show us your #lovein3words”.
Officials at Revlon just released a statement detailing the project, which officially launched with a TV commercial featuring the three stars during Sunday’s Academy Awards U.S. telecast.
In the commercial, Lady Gaga, Pharrell and Ellen will explain what love means to them, in the hope of raising money for several charities, in addition to the $1 million bosses at the cosmetics giant have already pledged.
“The Love Project is the beginning of a social movement which aims to inspire more love, acceptance and caring in the world,” said Carlos Barreto, Revlon Senior Vice President Marketing. “At the heart of this campaign is the belief that all people are beautiful and that love can create a better world.”
Charities which will benefit from the project include Gaga’s own Born This Way Foundation, plus Pharrell’s educational organization From One Hand to AnOther, and the Trevor Project, which provides support for children and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) young adults.
(AllHipHop News) Beyonce reportedly told guests at a pre-Oscars party on Saturday night (February 25) that she and husband Jay Z will find out the gender of their twins in two weeks’ time.
And it seems the excitement about the impending arrivals is all the “Formation” star could talk about as she and her spouse attended movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s bash at the Montage in Beverly Hills.
A source at the party told the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six that “Beyonce was telling people they’ll know the genders of the babies in two weeks.”
While the couple were happy to announce Beyonce’s pregnancy, they have remained coy about her actual due date.
However, this news, combined with the sight of the singer’s growing bump, has led fans to speculate about when the new baby will arrive.
The gender of an unborn baby can usually be found out between 16 and 20 weeks – with many people discovering whether they are having a boy or a girl at the 20 week scan.
If that’s the case, Beyonce is approximately 18 weeks pregnant, which puts her expected due date at the end of July.
After chatting to guests following a late arrival to the Weinstein party, Beyonce then spent the evening talking to Harvey’s wife, Marchesa fashion designer Georgina Chapman, as Jay Z, donning a black suit with a printed black shirt, engaged in conversation with Harvey.
The rap mogul signed a two-year first-look production deal with the Weinstein Company last year.
The 35-year-old singer highlighted her changing figure in a fitted teal dress paired with a statement necklace for the evening out.
The event marked Beyonce’s first public appearance since pulling out of the upcoming Coachella festival in California on Thursday (February 23).
The singer had been booked as one of three headliners for the two-weekend bash in April, but canceled citing doctor’s orders, and instead signed on for 2018’s line-up.
This is Nicki Minaj’s moment..or could be. As the world knows, over the weekend Remy Ma unleashed a can of “ether” with a side helping of “super ugly.” “ShETHER” was so powerful lyrically that fans/enemies have gone so far as to create obituary programs for the Queens rapper. Remy Ma definitely let off a lethal double tap and just when it seemed like she’d done enough, she unloaded another clip in the same damn song. “ShETHER” was 7 minutes of pure vitriol.
What can Nicki do now?
While some say she should ignore it or just release anything, that would likely result in an instant loss. (Editor’s note: many feel she has already received and instant loss.) Nicki let off the first overt shot with a guest verse on Gucci Mane’s “Make Love,” regardless of what tensions had been brewing. Some bigger rap artists prefer losing a battle, but in Hip-Hop that’s like fleeing a fair one. Should Nicki opt to return fire, she will need to do things very differently. Here are at least 5 things that can help her restore her name in Hip-Hop. Pop fans, ya’ll cool for keeping the financial industry buoyant, but this is another world. The battle.
1) Reply quickly. She cannot take a week to return fire to her Bronx nemesis like her ex-boyfriend Meek did with Drake. Remy’s diss “shETHER” has prompted hundreds, maybe thousands, of memes ridiculing Nicki. Remy Ma’s A-Bomb will continue to mushroom until it blots out the Young Money rapper’s personal sun – unless Nicki acts with swift vengeance. That vengeance can take on different forms. Nicki will probably have to mix humor, with wit with a bit of hardcore. She didn’t do 6 years in the joint, she didn’t shoot anybody and she’s not going to out-tough Remy “Ante Up” Ma.
2) Take the “Ether” route, not the “Takeover” way. I know, because Remy Ma called her comeback “shETHER,” people are saying its “Ether.” It’s not. “Takeover” was “facts” and “Ether” was the dozens. “Takeover” was boxing and “Ether” was ninjutsu. Nicki has to do what she does best in the reply, should it come. Make people laugh. Entertain. Use flows that go places Remy cannot follow. Nicki Minaj isn’t a bad rapper, but she is a superior entertainer. Entertain. A large reason why Nas’ ether was so lethal was because it was so unexpected and people thought Jay Z “killed him.” I didn’t like “Ether” more than “Takeover,” but Nas’ lyrical execution was a flawless victory. Nicki is from Queens so this is also about reppin’ for the home team. KRS-One is laughing somewhere.
3) Perception is reality, you know. All the things in the Remy song aren’t necessarily true. They may be. We don’t know. What we do know is that what Remy said sounded true. Well, Nicki can do this too. Fans already know she makes more money than Remy Ma and that she sells more records too. That’s well established. Nicki has to find the other weak spots. People act like Nas went at Jay Z for three verses on “Ether.” No. It wasn’t until about mid-way in the second verse that Nas really started to tear into Jay Z and Roc A Fella. He even expressed some empathy for his adversary before further reaming him. It will be imperative that Nicki find the pressure points that Remy has and squeeze. This means, Papoose, Lil Kim, Meek Mill and anybody else around Remy. Go at any and everything. That could make more problems, since none of them are slouches, but she can deal with that later. LOL!
4) It will be difficult to go straight at Remy. She’s looking like the comic villain The Juggernaut right now, but even the “immovable force” has mental weaknesses. Nicki is going to have to evoke “Monster” – all those flows and wild personas – and let them all loose. She can show all the elements that had Hip-Hop and pop-hop loving her. She’s a capable artist.
5) Last but not least, Nicki needs a video to accompany the clapback, if she should honor us with a song. There are plenty of advantages to video. Nicki can us other forms to battle to go back at Remy. Drake utilized this a bit after all the memes were made against Meek Mill. Use technology and get the battle open for the new era. This is destined to be bloody and painful. If you remember, both Nas and Jay seemed to be mortally wounded at different points in their “war,” but they both emerged better, stronger artists. Some could say they became more mature men despite all that was said.
This is different, but the end results could be similar. Nicki and Remy are both great artists, but in different ways. I wish them both well and hope the music we get is just as interesting as the battle records. Good luck!
(AllHipHop Rumors) Future has been dropping music like crazy during the successful run that has been his career, and even lately as the rapper dropped two albums back to back in under two weeks!
