YG dropped into Hot97, where he sat down with personality Nessa. The Compton rap star, who just released his album Still Brazy, talks about how the secret service censored his lyrics for his song F##k Donald Trump, in addition to the impact of Tupac and other interesting topics.
Comedian Alex Thomas is a pretty funny guy. Recently Thomas sat down with Vlad TV to discuss Dr. Dre changing his life and Ja Rule being upset with him over a 50 Cent skit. Thomas had to make a decision on whether to finish The Jamie Foxx Show or hosting what went on to become the biggest grossing Hip Hop Tour, the ‘Up In Smoke’ tour. Alex linked with 50 Cent to do a skit picking on Ja Rule and alleging that Ja had a gay lover as the skit imitated a gay fan calling into a radio station. The skit was on 50’s “Back Down” off of ‘Get Rich Or Die Trying’. Alex says Ja Rule hated him for about 6 years once he found out that he was the one who recorded the skit. Dre and Em were so petty for instigating that beef and that skit! LOL.

“Pro-black” rapper Azealia Banks has now confirmed and defended her skin bleaching in an interesting way. Banks says that it’s okay to bleach her skin because her p-ssy is still purple. We’d have to say that the self-hate is real and a forced mental health evaluation should happen. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate her Twitter ban and the fact that she had to make a lurk account on Twitter to answer a question about herself, screen shot it, and post it on Instagram to communicate with what “fans” she has left. The girl needs help!

According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, the “Norf Norf” performer donated to the YMCA program designed to help eighth and ninth grade students learn filmmaking, graphic design, music production, 3D printing and product design.
“I think the most important thing is opportunities,” said Staples. “What I can say is, living over here my entire life, I’ve never had an opportunity given to me from the area, only examples of how to mess up, and what I didn’t want to do.”
City officials have allocated $10,000 for the initiative. Long Beach Unified board member Megan Kerr insisted the Youth Institute will highlight STEM education as well as social and emotional learning.
“It’s important that we work together to support and educate our young people on being good citizens, as well as providing a safe space for them to thrive,” added Kerr.

New Jersey’s Shotgun Suge recently posted a video stating he accepts a challenge from Cassidy to battle. The potential face off could be for high stakes.
“I don’t give a f-ck. I’ll put my career on the line. I won’t battle no more, for no league, ever again, if you beat me in a judged battled,” stated Suge. “But you gotta put your f-cking career on the line. I don’t wanna hear no f-cking mixtapes. I don’t wanna no freestyles.”
He continued, “I don’t want none of that sh-t. No rap. You just collect your royalties from ‘Hotel.'”
Meanwhile, Cassidy has been tweeting out a Shotgun Suge diss record recorded by his affiliate Chubby Jag. Suge then fired back with his own diss track titled “Get At Me 2.”
Cassidy and Shotgun Suge have been commenting a lot about the other in the media over the last few weeks. Suge has called the Split Personality album creator wack, and Cass has said he would destroy the Newark representative in a battle.
