(AllHipHop Rumors) Should rappers like Lil Yachty make better music?
Lil Yachty has faced a lot of criticism as folks believe he puts out low quality music.
Joe Budden even went as far as giving him credit for being one of the forces in the current rap game who is responsible for ruining Hip Hop. Budden also expressed that he feels like Lil Yachty and his music shouldn’t even be embraced since he’s allegedly ruining the culture.
Yachty’s father, Shannon McCollum, certainly didn’t appreciate the things Budden had to say about his son.
McCollum has expressed in the past that Yachty makes music for the teens and not the old heads, so I figured it would be easier for him to go at Joe than to accept the truth.
McCollum took to Instagram [in a since deleted post] to tear Joe Budden apart!
“Only reason I’m posting this so I can publicly say F-CK #joebudden N-gga u have no relevance in Hip Hop!! And on my life I bet when his album drop his numbers will be better than any project you have released. He’s done more in 1 yr than you’ve done your whole back a-s career. FOH n-ggas love trying they best to pull somebody down instead of lifting somebody up! Get that free press bruh off the back of my young’n but u still a cornball! #oldwackrapperissues, said McCollum.
I don’t think people, Joe included, don’t want to see artists succeed; I believe the problem is with the artists and the people around them not challenging them to make quality music. Then the other problem is the folks who accept and support “garbage” music. Carry on!
(AllHipHop Features) “Big up the Gods, we don’t disrespect them,” flows Stro on “Big Ups,” the opening track of his new LP Grade A Frequencies.
The song includes the 20-year-old lyricist showing love to the gods of rap – like The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur – by carrying on the creative legacy of those legendary emcees through his own art.
In the second part of my interview with Stro, the Brooklyn-raised rapper/actor explains why it’s important for him to acknowledge the Hip Hop giants whose shoulders he stands on.
Our conversation also covered his opinion on the internet-influenced way of life and its effects on modern-day rap. As a devoted student of Hip Hop and also a member of the Millennial generation, Stro offers a unique perspective about the culture he loves.
AllHipHop: You pay a lot of homage to Hip Hop legends throughout the project. Why is it important for you to make sure you always show love to the people that came before you?
Stro: I understand the power of being young. That’s all we are as artists now. We’re passing down that frequency and that energy. That’s why on the intro, “Big Ups,” I didn’t get too preachy and say, “You gotta respect the OGs.” I just simplified it and was like, “Big up the gods. We don’t disrespect them.” I made it like a little turn-up record.
These kids today, I don’t know what it is, but they want to be so rebellious that sometimes they disrespect the foundation. That scares me because I grew up on Hip Hop. I grew up being a student of and being surrounded by this culture.
I’m saying the same thing that Pac was saying. I’m saying the same thing that Biggie was saying. I’m saying the same thing all my heroes were saying, but these kids will listen to it from me because I’m closer to their age group. So I drop their names in raps just to remind kids.
There are certain kids out there that may never have heard a Pac or B.I.G. record. That’s fine as long as they’ve heard a Kendrick Lamar, a J. Cole, a Stro, or a Joey [Bada$$] record. We’re preaching the same message from our perspectives. It’s literally the same frequency being passed down. So I think it’s important to keep these names in the minds of the youth.
AllHipHop: I saw you tweeted that a lot of the music out today is kind of dumbing people down. This is a conversation we’ve been having in Hip Hop for a long time. Do you ever see the culture going in a different direction? Not necessarily just Hip Hop, but music in general.
Stro: I don’t know with the internet. You heard of this rapper 52 Savage? This dude is an older black guy from Texas. But he’s actually rapping. He’s joking, obviously. But the internet is promoting him to the point where he’s about to get a deal. I can see it. There already on, “We gotta put 52 on the Freshman list.”
When you live an in an era like this where the internet… I don’t know where the culture’s going to be. Now we’re taking jokes and making careers out of them. Peace to everybody. I ain’t dissing nobody. I’m just saying this era is very weird in that sense. I would like to say, “Nah, the mumble rap ain’t going to go on forever.” But you just don’t know with the way this generation is.
That’s one of the reasons I made Grade A Frequencies the way I made it. I wanted to put the substance back in music. I’m aware I might lose a few fans with this project because it’s different from my previous work, but I plan to gain a whole lot more. The jokes are cool, the turning up is cool, we in the club, everybody’s doing drugs, but let’s get back to the substance of the music.
AllHipHop: Do you have any more acting gigs on the horizon?
Stro: I’ve been auditioning for a few joints. But I’m really on my music stuff. I feel like the energy you put into stuff is what you get out. One thing about acting is it’s great, but sometimes you got to leave for two to three months to shoot a movie. That’s putting the music on hold.
Right now, I’m really trying to get in touch with the people and my true supporters, so I feel like I got to stay here. Musically, I’m in a creative space. Things are aligning. Things are connecting. So I’m just focused on the music like crazy. I’m sure I’ll act again, but it has to be something I really want to do. It’s got to be a role where I feel like I really got to be part of this.
AllHipHop: You’re just twenty years old, but you’re pretty much an industry veteran at this point.
Stro: I’m a struggle rapper. [laughs] That’s a better term.
AllHipHop: Nah, when I hear “struggle rapper” that makes me think of struggling as far as lyrics. That’s definitely not you. I’m not accepting that one. [laughs]
Stro: [laughs] Appreciate that.
AllHipHop: From your experience of being in the industry, what piece of advice would you give to someone that’s an aspiring entertainer?
Stro: I’m still climbing up myself, so I don’t got no crazy, elaborate advice. I would just say take yourself serious. That’s what I’m on right now as an artist. I finally understand you got to take yourself serious. People are only going to take you as seriously as you take yourself.
That’s why I’m not so quick to give out a feature because a dude might ask for a feature. You mess with him personally, so you give him the feature for free or for the low. You put your all into that verse and put the song out, then after that, he’s not even rapping. He’s on Instagram fooling around or using the Snapchat filter with his tongue out. He’s not taking himself seriously.
That can throw people off because you never know who’s watching. You even mentioning a tweet, I didn’t even know you were watching the sh-t like that. The old me would have been on Instagram playing around – “Yo, I’m on the block. I’m outside. Look at me. Look at what I’m doing.”
As an artist, I just gotta be an artist. I can have fun and enjoy life, but at the same time, I got to understand it’s a brand I got to promote. I got to keep people in tune with the music. That would be my advice. Not just artists, anybody, whatever you’re doing in life, take it seriously.
(AllHipHop News) Treach of Naughty By Nature took to Instagram to air out his issues with his ex-wife Pepa.
According to Treach, the Salt-N-Pepa member has a tell-all book that includes information he believes is untrue.
The “O.P.P.” rapper also blasted Pepa for the way his children, including daughter Egypt Criss, were presented on the reality show Growing Up Hip Hop.
Treach wrote on IG:
THROWBACK THURSDAY, SOMEBODY TELL MY EX-WIFE THIS OLD SCHOOL RAT YOUR BOOK IS FULL OF LIES YOU PRESS W####, YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL TO A HELL HOLE, & PUT MY KIDS IN THE MIDDLE FOR RATINGS.., YOU KNOW YA F-CKED UP RIGHT LMFAO!!
In a separate comment, captured by Fameolousent, Treach claimed Pepa tried to turn his kids against him and that she is “still f-cking industry n-ggas younger than your children.”
(AllHipHop News) BET is looking to highlight Hip Hop culture in its upcoming season of programs.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cable network announced its upfront slate which includes several new shows.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is set to host BET’s first variety comedy showcase titled 50 Central.
Sketches, hidden-camera pranks, musical performances, and celebrity guests will be part of 50’s latest TV venture.
BET is also set to air the six-hour docuseries Death Row Chronicles which will explore the rivalries and triumphs associated with the iconic Death Row Records.
Following the huge success of The New Edition Story, BET will now focus on NE member Bobby Brown with the four-hour biopic The Bobby Brown Story.
In addition, The Breaks is moving from one Viacom-owned station to another.
The second season of the 1990’s Hip Hop drama – starring Mack Wilds, Afton Williamson, and Wood Harris – is now part of the BET lineup after earning record ratings for VH1.
VH1’s Hit The Floor, the Kevin Hart-produced dramedy Divorce Saved My Marriage, and season 2 of The Quad have been picked up by BET as well.
“Over the last 37 years, BET has cultivated a deep and lasting relationship with our viewers, as we remain the premiere destination for lovers of African-American culture,” said BET CEO Debra Lee. “This year, we are saying yes to all things black, with more premium original programming and best-in-class tentpoles that reflect and invigorate our viewers.”
“Nothing gets in the way of our money or ambition to make it music or life and “Run My Bag Up” reflects that,” say MGMC rapper Gen.
MoneyGang MealClique is a rap collective and record label comprised of rapper G.I., Gen and ZyThaProphet. Hailing from San Bernardino, CA the emcees came together as MGMC after individually making noise around the LA and Inland Empire rap scenes. As a collective they’ve created resounding buzz in the streets and clubs and as a result are currently recording their first compilation mixtape. Today, with a newly minted deal with Empire Distribution, MGMC is setting things off with their debut single “Run My Bag Up.”
(AllHipHop News) Ja Rule’s highly touted luxury festival has gotten a bevy of bad press for being a disaster after several high profile acts pulled out and attendees have taken to twitter to express their views.
The Fyre Fest bragged about being “the cultural experience of the decade” and even touted high-end music acts like “Pusha T, Tyga, Desiigner, Major Lazer, Disclosure, Blink-182, Migos, and Lil Yachty. Additionally, there was a fashion component that offered up Kendall Jenner, Alessandra Ambrosio, Hailey Baldwin and others. Packages to attend the festival went as high as $250,000.
Even though the festival was this weekend, it has all seemingly fallen apart on the islands of Exumas in the Bahamas.
Ja Rule and the Fyre Festival team have issued a statement taking ownership of what has happened.
Fyre Festival set out to provide a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience on the Islands of the Exumas.
Due to circumstances out of our control, the physical infrastructure was not in place on time and we are unable to fulfill on that vision safely and enjoyably for our guests. At this time, we are working tirelessly to get flights scheduled and get everyone off of Great Exuma and home safely as quickly as we can. We ask that guests currently on-island do not make their own arrangements to get to the airport as we are coordinating those plans. We are working to place everyone on complimentary charters back to Miami today; this process has commenced and the safety and comfort of our guests is our top priority.
The festival is being postponed until we can further assess if and when we are able to create the high- quality experience we envisioned.
We ask for everyone’s patience and cooperation during this difficult time as we work as quickly and safely as we can to remedy this unforeseeable situation. We will continue to provide regular updates via email to our guests and via our official social media channels as they become available.
-The Fyre Festival Team
Additionally, the Ministry of Tourism in the Bahamas has issued an apology as well due to the onslaught of international press Fyre Fest has created.
Right now, the festival has been postponed for the indefinite future.
Here are some of the social media responses.
So Fyre Fest is a complete disaster. Mass chaos. No organization. No one knows where to go. There are no villas, just a disaster tent city. pic.twitter.com/1lSWtnk7cA
So TGIF & enjoy your low wage jobs today because at least you didn't pay $5k+ to be at lord of the flies train wreck that is #fyrefestivalpic.twitter.com/YWtrKaqxL8

(AllHipHop News) Joe Budden may really be getting under Troy Ave’s skin.
The two East Coast rappers have been exchanging jabs at each other over the last few weeks.
Troy even dissed Budden on his song “Truth Be Told PSA” off his recent NuPac project, and he went on to suggest Budden is leeching off DJ Akademiks for their Everyday Struggle show.
At the end of Thursday’s episode of the Complex News series, Budden fired back at “Boy Ave” by claiming NuPac only sold around 830 copies.
“Rest in peace Troy Ave’s career,” said Budden.
That led to Troy jumping on Instagram with a message directed at the Slaughterhouse member.
The Brooklyn native wrote:
#PressSpray #ThisSh-tWackLikeAJoeBuddenTrack “Rappin podcaster and a d-ck eater, tryna see how the balls taste, Ask ya chick she in a vid lickin my face” ? don’t beat her up man, u shouldn’t put ya hands on a women & we know u be on some emotional beat a b-tch then take mad pills Tryna OD u fukin Junky! … difference wit me is all my raps is real! the #FakeOnes said I sold 800 copies of a mixtape that i dropped for free ? all that means is I made an unexpected $7,000 I might use the free money to buy some patio furniture 4 my pool with the water fall ??Y’all haters gotta come better u already tried that 1 ??? u can’t assassinate my character y’all too weak and us #TheRealOnes is too strong we gettin even stronger!
While NuPac is available on free download sites such as My Mixtapez and Datpiff, the project can also be purchased on iTunes and streamed on Apple Music, Tidal, and Spotify.
Songs off Lamar’s DAMN album control the top nine spots.
That makes the Compton emcee the first act to have nine concurrent songs in the Top 10.
Previously, Drake and J. Cole were tied for the record with eight tracks.
Drake accomplished that feat in 2016 and earlier this year.
J. Cole managed to occupy eight songs on that chart in 2016.
In addition, Lamar is the only act to have the top 9 records on the On-Demand Streaming Songs chart at the same time.
The TDE representative is just the sixth act to hold the #1 and #2 positions on the charts simultaneously (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea, Meghan Trainor, and Justin Bieber).

As the Aids Healthcare Foundation, Know Your Status Tour continues, students from all across the country continue to gain awareness about risks associated with improper sexual engagement. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) made a significant impact on college students in Houston, Texas yesterday for the third installation of the Know Your Status Tour.
The success of The KYST is due in large part to the dynamic impact of the celebrity, social and pop culture influence involved.

(AllHipHop Editorial) In 1982, as “Greg G” of the Harlem rap group Disco 4, Greg Marius challenged a rival rap group, The Crash Crew, to a basketball game while the groups were being interviewed on The Rap Attack hosted by Mr. Magic. The groups decided to meet up the next day at Mount Morris Park. When they arrived for the game, Marius was shocked to see that there were more than 1000 people waiting to watch. It was during that impromptu game that the Entertainers Basketball Classic was born.
Within years, music and sports stars were attracted to the event and the EBC eventually became one of the most prominent street basketball tournaments in the US. The EBC expanded over the years attracting sponsors who were drawn to the lure of thousands of fans with an affinity for luxury and sportswear brands. Marius united hip-hop, basketball, and urban marketing in a way that was previously unprecedented. Sponsors over the years included, Reebok, Gatorade, AT&T, and more. Games were often broadcast on NBA TV and inspired the film, Above the Rim.
Marius was a lifelong Harlem resident who was committed to keeping the EBC in his beloved neighborhood. He told the New York Daily News in 2010, “It’s been great that I’ve been able to create memories in Harlem, where I’m from.”
“Greg Marius was a visionary and a legend in the game of basketball. [Thanks to him] the world knew about the EBC and Rucker Park,” says Atlanta Entertainment Basketball League founder, Jahi Rawlings. “Not only was he a mentor, he’s a leader in the community and I will personally work to see that he gets into the Basketball Hall of Fame.”
Rooted in hip-hop, the EBC has seen teams hosted by Diddy, Jay Z and Fat Joe. In his book, Empire State of Mind: How Jay Z went from Street Corner to Corner Office, Zack O’Malley Greenburg recounts the epic 2003 season when Team S. Carter was slated to challenge Fat Joe’s Terror Squad in the championship game.
Synergies aside, the EBC wasn’t simply a marketing whim.
Jay-Z, a lifelong basketball fan, intended to win the summer tournament. To accomplish this goal, he’d have to unseat the defending champions, rival rapper Fat Joe’s Terror Squad, a team that boasted rugged NBA players Stephon Marbury and Ron Artest, both of whom had honed their skills in New York school yards. Jay-Z was unfazed. “He was like, ‘I’m going to bring this team together . . . I’m only going to do it once, and obviously, I plan to win,’ ” recalls Fab [Five Freddy]. “Then The Black Album was supposed to come out, and then he was going to retire.”
Jay’s team included Kenyon Martin, Tracy McGrady, Lamar Odom, and Sebastia Telfair. According to Telfair, Jay Z was a very hands-on team manager who would regularly call and email team players. The epic championship game, however, never took place. The 2003 EBC Championship game was canceled due to a power outage and Team S. Carter forfeited.
It is unclear what will become of the EBC with Greg Marius’ passing, one can only hope that the legendary summer series continues. Greg Marius was laid to rest on Thursday, April 27th in his beloved Harlem.
(AllHipHop News) U.S. TV personality Ellen DeGeneres has offered to dedicate her daytime talk show to Kanye West when her rapper pal turns 40 this summer.
Kanye hits the age milestone on June 8 and Ellen wants to make sure he celebrates in style – on her show.
During a taped chat with his wife Kim Kardashian, which aired on Thursday (April 27), the comedienne offered to host the rap star’s birthday bash after the reality TV star confessed the pressure was on for her to come up with a big surprise.
Kim told Ellen, “I have no idea… He does the most amazing, romantic, over-the-top, crazy, wild things that you would never even imagine for me, so the pressure is on.”
DeGeneres said she would devote the entire hour of her June 8 show to Kanye and invite all the Kardashians, adding, “He can play music, he can talk about whatever he wants.”
(AllHipHop News) It’s hard to imagine a “Dungeon Family Sound” without the musical legacy of George Clinton.
The leader of the iconic funk pioneers Parliament-Funkadelic was such a musical influence on the Atlanta rap crew that Clinton was even featured on OutKast’s “Synthesizer.”
Dungeon Family member Killer Mike sat down at his SWAG barber shop with Clinton for an NPR interview.
The 75-year-old Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee discussed running his own barber shop business, using counterfeit money to fund his music career, his eccentric fashion style, making introspective tunes, and the rise of Hip Hop.
“When Hip Hop came along, I just looked at it like, ‘Okay, this reminds me of when we were young… and my mother would say, “What the hell are you talking about?”‘ When I heard someone [beatboxing], it didn’t bother me,” said Clinton.
The singer-songwriter/producer also talked about once mentoring now-veteran Atlanta area hitmakers such as Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri, and Dungeon Family’s Organized Noize in the early 1990’s.
“They just let me be like the school teacher,” explained Clinton. “It was about music, and they would actually listen.”
According to the “Atomic Dog” performer, the Dungeon Family and OutKast inspired him as well.
“They gave me a lot of inspiration to keep going when they got to their height as OutKast. I ain’t got nothing to worry about,” Clinton added.
Mr.Smith plans to be the next big thing out of Oakland, CA and starts off strong with his Cities’ anthem “T.N.I.P.” The record is catching huge buzz in the Bay Area and it’s only right he follows up with the official video.
Check out the visual below. Production handled by NYC producer Motivbeats.
After a successful year with her hit single “OOOUUU” and a slew of solid guest verses, Young M.A. releases her first official project, a 7-track EP titled “Herstory.” It features one lone guest appearance by Monica.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Snoop Dogg has been named a celebrity commissioner of the Champions Basketball League.
The “Gin and Juice” hitmaker will work with bosses at the company to help promote and drive interest in the league. He is also part owner, according to a press release.
“Champions Basketball League is a sports innovation for fans,” Snoop Dogg says. “Champions provides exclusive and affordable access to world class basketball for fans.
“I’m looking forward to collaborating with the organization on unique ways to entertain fans and work with the league to secure celebrity partners in each of the major markets where Champions Basketball League will play this summer. And fans are even able to own their own team. I can’t wait to see what y’all do with that.”
The league is made up of teams of former National Basketball Association (NBA) players.
