(AllHipHop News) The Hip Hop fueled program The Get Down will be back in two months.
After debuting in August, the Netflix original series is returning to the streaming platform on April 7.
There were rumors The Get Down was canceled, but supervising producer Nelson George issued a statement in September confirming the musical drama set in the 1970’s was continuing.
“Part two comes this spring,” posted George.
The Get Down stars Justice Smith, Shameik Moore, Herizen F. Guardiola, Jaden Smith, and Jimmy Smits.
(AllHipHop Rumors) I mean who doesn’t want to work with the Queen Bey?!
Yall can play like yall don’t realize it, but Beyonce even has some of yall’s favorite rappers in “Formation”, okay.
During an interview, Migos member Quavo revealed that he was indeed a card-holding dues-paying member of Beyonce’s fan base, the Beyhive.
Takeoff even revealed that the entire group was in the Beyhive. Apparently the Migos are HUGE fans of Beyonce, and Quavo stated that they’d love to collaborate with her. He even went on to call her the Queen.
Now Beyonce has been known to give a few surprises, but I don’t really see her collaborating with Migos. She would’ve been more likely to incorporate “Bad & Boujee” into one of her dance sets [as she did with many songs] on tour than to do a song with them. Or DJ Khaled would’ve been more likely to bring them out during his Hip Hop sets that opened her Formation Tour, than for them to be on the same track. But hey, never say never.
Migos, we totally understand and are right there with you in the Beyhive.
(AllHipHop Rumors) As you know TMZ’s paparazzi has no chill, and they are always on a mission to get down to the truth, troll, or find out what’s really going on. LOL.
One of their camera men caught up with Chris Brown and decided to ask him what’s the deal with the restraining order Karrueche filed against him, as she cited that her former lover, Chris, threatened to kill her and previously abused her.
C. Breezy was partying Thursday night with what some have described as a Karrueche look-alike. Surprisingly Brown remained calm as he tried to drive off and avoid being questioned about the incident, and Karrueche’s claims.
Remember Karrueche accused Chris of pushing her down stairs, punching her in the stomach, and even threatening to kill her. She also claims that Chris has been warning folks that if he can’t have her, no one can.
Karrueche must have an award-winning personality and v## because lawd, he still isn’t over her.
As Chris was leaving 1 OAK, he was in no mood to talk about the claims. I’m actually surprised that he didn’t get out the car and “Run It” on the paps. Yall aren’t gonna make me forget that he beat the brakes off of Rihanna and threw that chair through Good Morning America’s window either.
Well there’s three sides to every story, and here, clearly someone is lying. Whose side are you on?
(AllHipHop Rumors) Just as Future was apologizing for his “past aint shhh” ways, it seems like he may have actually just taken a few steps back.
Right before dropping his second album in under two weeks, Future got candid with Zane Lowe on Beats 1.
Future is really pleased with the way he was able to put out as much music as he did back-to-back, and he expressed his excitement about being able to give fans another part of him, which is Future HNDRXXX.
Future says his latest album was the “real honest” album as back in 2014, he was just using the title. Now Future says he’s actually able to be open and honest in his music.
His music wasn’t the only thing he was honest about. He also opened up about fatherhood.
Future explained that he’s able to make so much music, because he’s addicted to creating it, and addicted to the studio. The only problem is his addiction keeps him away from his children, Prince, Londyn, and Future Zahir at times.
Future came under fire for saying his children have to understand that they have to sacrifice some things and some time spent because they have a superstar father. Most would believe that Future would say that he actually had to sacrifice some career-related things to BE a better father. The kids didn’t ask to be here.
“You gotta sacrifice so much, even the times with your kids. You have to just do music and you’re becoming this entertainer and so many people require so much of your time for different things, different obligations you have to make money, or just different obligations you have as a person in whatever the situation may be. You gotta leave town and miss out on certain things, that you feel like you should be there. Like, your dad should be a part of this moment. I gotta be like, ‘Damn, man, your daddy really a superstar and entertainer.’ My kids gotta understand, they gotta make a sacrifice, having a superstar dad. My career choice is my career choice. Just stepping out of that zone, to be able to be a provider. I understand my position as a provider and my role as a dad also…Just being able to be comfortable with it. Everybody wanna be a super dad and the best dad ever but sometimes, I’m just realizing that I’m not perfect,” said Future.
Maybe Future meant well, and just expressed it wrong, because there are plenty of celebrity parents that have made sure to be there often for their children. Future stated that he understands that fatherhood is more than being a provider, but do you think he really gets it? Some even felt like Future was using being an entertainer as an excuse to be an absentee father. What are your thoughts?
(AllHipHop News) An appreciation for motor vehicles has been part of Hip Hop culture from the early days. Even Sugarhill Gang’s seminal 1979 hit “Rapper’s Delight” shouted out the Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac.
AutoNation analyzed lyrics to find out which car brands were talked about the most in music from the 1960’s to present day. Not surprisingly, Hip-Hop acts dominated the chart of musicians with the most car mentions in their tunes.
Los Angeles emcee The Game came in at number one, followed by Lil Wayne at number 2, and Jay Z at number 3. The top 10 artists were all from the rap genre.
According to the study, Chevrolet was the most mentioned brand overall in music since the 60’s. However, Mercedes-Benz has been the favored lyrical choice over the last three decades.
The German luxury vehicle was the top mentioned car for stars such as Drake, Kanye West, Fetty Wap, Future, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Beyoncé.
When looking at which artists have the most mentions for each individual car brand, Redman led the Acura tally. Bentley, Chevrolet, Honda, Mercedes-Benz (tie), and Porsche were monopolized by The Game.
Lil Wayne topped the BMW and Bugatti mentions. Big Tymers took first place for Hummer and Lexus. Too $hort ranked highest for Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz (tie). Nas was the frontrunner for Dodge (tie) and Jeep.
The charts were created by AutoNation searching songmeanings.com’s API for song lyrics that included car-related terms such as brand names and models. However, some car makes and models were not included in order to avoid their names being confused for non-vehicle-related mentions.
(AllHipHop News) Nicki Minaj is now just one hit away from tying Aretha Franklin as the most prolific solo female in America’s pop charts.
The star’s “Bom Bidi Bom” collaboration with Nick Jonas has debuted at 54, giving Nicki her 72nd appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 countdown.
One more hit and she’ll match Aretha’s 73 Hot 100 visits.
In the 58-year history of the U.S. chart only three women have landed 70 or more hit on the chart – Taylor Swift is the third, with 70.
Madonna and Rihanna make up the rest of the top five with 57 hits apiece.
Rihanna made history in the Hot 100 earlier this week by breaking a tie with Michael Jackson with her 30th top 10 hit.
“Love on the Brain” jumped up five spots to number eight, making the Umbrella singer the third most prolific top 10 artist, behind only Madonna and the Beatles.
(AllHipHop News) Remy Ma repeatedly declared she was not taking subliminal shots at Nicki Minaj on her various verses.
“I’m going to say your government [name]. I’m going to look it up. I’m going to say your mother’s name, your father’s name, your kids’ name. I want you to know that I’m talking about you,” the Bronx spitter toldThe Breakfast Club last week.
Phresher’s “Wait A Minute Remix” is one of the tracks that had many people thinking Remy’s verse was directed at Nicki.
Hot 97 caught up with Phresher, and the New York rapper discussed the debated Remy bars on his song.
“You damn right. Of course,” he responded when asked if he thought Remy was talking about Nicki. “It’s not a knock on Nicki. Again, that’s between them. She gave me a fire verse.”
Phresher went on to point out certain lines from Remy’s verse he believes shows that shots were fired at the Young Money star.
The Brooklynite also said he would love to see Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj on a record together.
(AllHipHop News) It looks like Amber Rose may have proclaimed her dream to be the next big strip club mogul a bit deal early, and now she’s being sued because of it.
(AllHipHop News) Award-winning producer Metro Boomin is set to move into the executive realm.
During an interview with GQ, the man born Leland Wayne spoke about starting a new company.
“I’m heavily influenced by a lot of people like Dre, Pharrell, and Kanye. They’re all big time tastemakers and trendsetters, just for culture, period,” Boomin stated. “So I strive to do that as well. I’m starting my label up, so of course I’m going to keep bringing new things to the table: new artists, new sounds, and new vibes for people to love and live with.”
Last December, Metro posted about Boominati Records on his social media accounts.

(AllHipHop Rumors) What’s a year without a beef and a Meek? Its kind of cute that both Meek and Nicki have beef today. Maybe this will join them again. Both of them have some most street level beef. This ain’t Drake and Lil Kim. This is OSCHINO, Philly OG of State Property! This is crazy that the OG is going hard and talking directly to Meek Mill.
The only thing is he ain’t talking directly to Meek. I hope he hears it. I’m not sure he will. I don’t really understand how cats make it to the time and forget the dudes that helped them when they were low. No shots, but it seems like it.
(AllHipHop News) Singer/songwriter Leon Ware, known for his work with soul singer Marvin Gaye, has died at the age of 77.

The iconic rapper previously performed at the annual music event in 2013 and before that led the line-up back in 2001.
He’s set to play once again in August.
Melvin Benn, one of the festival’s organizers, says it’s “beyond exciting” that the “Without Me” hitmaker will be playing once again.
A host of other newly-announced artists have also been added to the bill.
“His 2013 headline performance was incredible and I can’t want to have him back,” Melvin said in a statement. “In addition to our third and final headliner – joining Kasabian and Muse – we’ve announced over 70 additional acts to this year’s line-up – it’s looking stronger than ever.”

Initially only one woman appeared on the bill alongside 57 men.
Sixteen of the acts joining the festival on Friday feature at least one woman, however there’s still a huge amount of men on the bill, with 80 out of the 97 performers left made up of men, the BBC reports.
(AllHipHop News) Just seven days after releasing his self-titled LP, Future hits his fans with another project.
The Atlanta rap star’s new 17-track HNDRXX album features The Weeknd and Rihanna.
There has been speculation that Future dropped the two bodies of work on consecutive weeks as a way to fill a legal obligation to Rocko.
According to reports, Rocko won a lawsuit that requires Future to pay the A1 Recordings head royalties on two albums.
During an #AskFuture Q&A on Twitter, the “Selfish” rhymer denied his back-to-back album drops were connected to Rocko.
“No way in the f-ck am I doing that for him, but at the same time, sh-t gonna get taken care of,” answered Future.
He added, “When n-ggas go broke, they do dumb sh-t. I don’t know what’s going on. But at the end of the day, we’re making hits, we’re making history. When they want to be part of history, you gotta do something to tag along.”
(AllHipHop Rumors) FINALLY! There is no way these two aren’t clapping at each other. First of all, Remy has been allegedly low-key going at Remy Ma for a minute now. She hasn’t exactly confirmed that, but we can feel it in the air. AND, keeping it a buck, she straight beastin’ on that “Wait A Minute” remix. BUT, now Nicki is going back at Remy and there is NO QUESTIONING THAT! Listen:
“She ain’t eating but I swear she got some bum as taste / text her man like, “Dawg, how that bum ass taste?” / Pay your rent and stay in ya bum ass place/ Oh you the queen, the QUEEN OF THIS HERE? One platinum plaque album flop b#tch where?” You see silly rabbit, to be the queen of rap, you gotta sell records / you gotta get plaques…/ ”S” plural like the “S” on my chest / Now sit your dumb a## down / You got an F on your test.”
This is from the song “Make Love” with Gucci Mane.
Check out what Remy bought.
Who you with?
This ain’t knew though. They been going back and forth for a minute.

(AllHipHop News) Comedian Arsenio Hall has agreed to drop his $5 million defamation lawsuit against Sinead O’Connor after she apologized for accusing him of providing drugs to Prince.
She refused to back down at the time but has now issued an apology, which reads:
“I apologize for my Facebook posts about Arsenio to the extent that anyone thought I was accusing him of acting as Prince’s drug dealer and supplying him with illegal hard drugs, or insinuating that Arsenio had something to do with Prince’s death.
“I sincerely apologize because those statements would be false, and I retract them unequivocally.”
A joint statement from Sinead and Arsenio, obtained by TMZ, reads: “Sinead has retracted and apologized for statements she made about Arsenio last year, which prompted his defamation lawsuit against her.”
