Demrick Lands Verse From Casey Veggies

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Music

Demrick returns with a new song featuring a guest appearance by none other than Casey Veggies.

The song “Different Day” is the follow up to Demrick’s songs “Freak Show” and “Back In The Daze,” both taken from his new album Collect Call.

“‘Different Day’ was created from a very casual, yet real place,” Demrick explained. “I was sitting in the studio, and a few calls and texts had come through my phone that day that typically would’ve annoyed me. Rather than get annoyed, I was just in a mindset that wouldn’t allow me to get flustered on that particular day. The song feels exactly how I felt on the day I wrote it, which was stress-free.”

NYC Students Shine At Science Genius’ B.A.T.T.L.E.S. Rap Competition (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop can be used as an effective educational tool. The Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S (Bringing Attention to Transforming, Teaching and Learning Science) Program proves elements of the culture are a powerful way to connect today’s youth with science curriculum.

Science Genius held its fourth annual rap competition featuring New York City students displaying their rap skills as well as knowledge of scientific subjects. Actor Derek Luke and music producer Bruce Waynne served as celebrity guest judges.

The students had to battle their classmates at their school in order to make it into the city-wide event. Seven acts were selected to compete as finalists.

Brooklyn Preparatory High School’s Freaks of Nature (Jaiyer Millington, Melshawn Richey, Mitch Hunte, and Kaison Samuell) won first place. The group’s energy-centered performance earned them the 2016 title of B.A.T.T.L.E.S. champions.

The Science Genius initiative was founded by Columbia University professor Dr. Christopher Emdin and legendary Wu-Tang Clan member GZA.

“The program was inspired by the brilliance of young people and the inability of schools to harness that brilliance and activate an interest and passion for STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics],” said Emdin.

Science Genius is also located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, St. Lucie, Florida, Houston, Texas, and Toronto, Canada. Emdin plans to expand the program to other cities around the country.

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Although Dancehall artist, Mr. Vegas has been very vocal about his disapproval of Drake shouting out Dancehall artists but not featuring them and taking from the genre, Vegas doesn’t plan on waging a full war against the 6 God.

Although he claims “Drake The Fake” (as Vegas calls him), is running with the wave, he says he won’t go against Drake because Drake has millions of fans and he doesn’t want to end up like Meek Mill.

Remember Mr. Vegas previously said Meek might have been right about Drake being fake, but Vegas says despite his longevity in the game he isn’t trying to get bodied by a singing n-gga. LOL.

The founder of Odd Future opened his show at MADE LA fashion show, by performing a song that addressed his recent banning from Australia.

The rhymes from “EGO” reads:

“They said some old lines was offensive/I was young I can’t apologize for that s###/They took my fiction literature for literal/I ain’t no m###########’ criminal.”

Tyler’s verse states that he’s not as bad as his previous music proclaims him to be, and uses Donald Trump as the punchline to prove it.

ISIS Claims Responsibility For Orlando Massacre; Hip-Hop World Responds

The Hip-Hop World Responds To The Pulse Nightclub Shooting In Orlando

Earlier this morning (June 12), the world stood still after news surfaced that 50 people were murdered and another 53 injured during a mass-shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

Numerous artists have sent their condolences to the families and friends of the victims.

As details continue to be released about suspect, Omar Mateen and his motive behind the shooting, the situation has has started to stir up some debate on homophobia, Islamophobia, and gun control.

Earlier today, President Barack Obama delivered an address to the nation and addressed the issue of guns in his speech.

“Today marks the most deadly shooting in American history. The shooter was apparently armed with a handgun and a powerful assault rifle,” President Obama said. “This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that’s the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision as well.”

Vic Mensa posted about the hate crime with a more political twist, which ended up bringing a lot of controversy in the process.

Mensa believes Donald Trump is one of the core reasons why there’s so much outward hate in the country now.

ISIS officially claimed responsibility for the shooting after issuing a threat to Florida just three days earlier.

Currently, hospitals in the Orlando area are reaching out to citizens to donate blood for the victims of the shooting.

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Ladies if you ever wanted to have a threesome with B.o.B, it’s time to shoot your shot in his DM NOW!. B.O.B. apparently has been sliding in girls DMs trying to recruit them for threesomes. It really goes down in the DMs. Apparently B.o.B. slid in one girl’s DM and she declined. She also shared the screenshots with her brother who happens to be a DJ. The brother then put B.o.B on blast saying what Bobby Ray was doing was some f-ck n-gga sh-t. The DJ also took a shot at B.o.B. by saying he hasn’t had a hit since 2010. Apparently getting “put on blast” actually backfired as other women slid in B.o.B.’s DMs. I mean…… anywhere is fair game to recruit for a threesome right? LOL.
