(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper T.I. has transitioned into one of Hip-Hop’s most political figures over the past two years.
T.I. has put himself at the forefront of a variety of hot button issues, including police brutality, racism and of course politics, while releasing music and open letters to back up his ideology.
T.I. was a guest on the latest episode of N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s “Drink Champs” podcast which also included sitdowns with French Montana and A$AP Rocky.
The conversation soon turned to Donald Trump, who is being inaugurated in Washington D.C., today (January 20).
When French Montana chimed in during a conversation on politics and said he felt that discrimination against women in today’s society played a big role in Hillary Clinton’s loss to President-Elect, Donald Trump, T.I. respectfully disagreed.
“I just don’t think she was the right woman. I think Oprah Winfrey should [run]. I think Oprah should be the first female president,” T.I. said.
T.I., seems to have appeared to soften his stance on women running the United States.
T.I. did not speak bad on Hillary Clinton, but he felt Bernie Sanders should have been the Democratic nominee.
“The democracy is supposed to be for the majority to look out for the greater good of all, “T.I. said. “You understand what I’m saying? Right now, what he [Donald Trump] did was he played to the selfishness of the majority. The majority, which is insecurities and the racist tendencies of [middle America.]
“He’s [Donald Trump] a businessman that looks after him,” T.I said. “A businessman looks out for him and his business. A president looks out for the country and all of its people.”
T.I. also dismissed the chance of Jay Z or Kanye West making any real traction in the 2020 presidential elections, he did throw one name out there that he felt could have been the current POTUS.
The reality show star/actor has no immediate plans for office himself, unlike Kanye West, who said he will make a run for the White House in 2020.

(AllHipHop Rumors) I thought Chief Keef was done with all of the beefing!
At one time it seemed like Chief was continuously beefing with others every other day on social media, but earlier this month Keef let it be known that he would no longer be beefing with folks because he was too busy enjoying life on the West Coast.
Just as it seemed that Chief Keef had found direction in his life, a producer has come out saying that Chief and his crew put the paws on him.
Producer Ramsay Tha Great took to Instagram to blast Chief Keef for allegedly jumping him.
A very bruised Ramsay jumped on Instagram wearing a neck brace to tell Keef,
“@chieffkeeffsossa now if I was a celebrity I wouldn’t come personally jump a person with you five friends and a Ak 47 that’s just dumb your famous ……… now I’m taking everything from you . U really just f###-d up dude coming to my house with your phone in your pocket with the location on…….. yea I’m pressing charges on yo a-s. You a f-cking low life mf n-ggas out here tryna do positive sh-t and you still on some goofy Chicago sh-t. We’ll see u in court.”
The producer also claims that Keef stole a Rolex and $1,500 from him.
Chief Keef hasn’t really spoken out publicly against Ramsay’s claims but he did write a comment durring ManeMane4CGG’s Instagram Live video saying,
(AllHipHop News) Has The Throne officially reunited? According to reports, Kanye West and Jay Z have begun to settle their differences and are now close to collaborating again.
Many fans were shocked when Kanye ranted about his “big brother” Jay during concert stops last year.
“Jay Z, call me bruh. You still ain’t call me. Jay Z call me, I know you got killers, please don’t send them at my head, talk to me like a man,” said Kanye after his wife Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris.
There has been talk about the two Hip Hop superstars recently meeting in New York to mend their relationship, and now someone allegedly connected to one of the artists is saying more music from The Throne could be on the way.
“Kanye is over the moon to have his ‘family’ back. He is starting to feel like himself again, knowing he has the support of Jay and Beyonce,” a source told The Sun. “Some new tracks would be fascinating given what Kanye has been through over the past year. But under the watchful eye of his mentor and ‘big bro’ Jay, it would be huge.”
Prior to their dispute, Jay and Kanye worked together on music for over 15 years.
The duo released the 2011 album Watch The Throne which included the Grammy-winning singles “Otis,” “N-ggas In Paris,” and “No Church in the Wild.”
While sources claim Ye and Hov are now on speaking terms, Kanye did declare in October that Watch The Throne 2 would never happen.
If the Chicago rhymer and Brooklyn spitter are reconnecting in the studio, some listeners will be checking to see if a collaborative effort will appear on the rumored Jay Z album in the works.
(AllHipHop News) Rap legend Snoop Dogg was close with Tupac, and the pair recorded classic songs together like “All About You,” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.”
In an upcoming episode on Snoop’s GGN Network, he sat down with Demetrius Shipp Jr. and talked about his role as Tupac.
Snoop released a trailer for the interview, where he shared an amazing story about the first time he met Tupac Shakur.
Snoop said he met Tupac at the wrap party for “Poetic Justice” and the two rappers got into a battle at the event and he remembered the encounter well.
“Tupac grabbed the mic, he started rapping. I grabbed the mic, I started rapping. But I’m rapping aggressive, because at this time, I’m one of them, like battle rappers. So I’m aggressive. So he come back, he aggressive. It sound like we kinda like battling each other,” Snoop Dogg recounted.
“It was like we get off to like a wrong start, but you could tell we both dope as a m###########, so it’s like we not really gonna go there. When we finish rapping, we go outside. I’m like, ‘My name’s Snoop.’ He like, ‘My name Pac.’ He break up with a blunt and that n#### roll a blunt with me. That’s my first time ever hitting a blunt.”
Demetrius Shipp Jr., who bears a natural, striking resemblance to the rapper, was chosen to play Tupac in the upcoming “All Eyez on Me” documentary.
The “All Eyez on Me” biopic focuses on Tupac’s life, from his early days in Baltimore to his time in Oakland, all the way up till his death in September of 1996.
Additional cast members in the flick include Danai Gurira, who plays Afeni Shakur, Kat Graham who plays Jada Pinkett, and rapper Jamal “Gravy” Woolard, who stars as Biggie Smalls. “All Eyez on Me” is coming to theaters on June 16, on what would have been Tupac’s 46th birthday.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Did Troy Ave Violate A Code of the Streets? I openly admit, I don’t know enough about the streets these days. I didn’t know a legal defense was the same as snitching until just today! Now, Troy Ave, through his lawyer, stating something that’s somewhat obvious for a person in HIS position. His adversary, Taxstone, got knocked by the cops and they saying his DNA was all over the the gun Troy Ave used to fire off at people in Irvington Plaza.

Wack100 says Troy is snitching through his lawyer!
(AllHipHop News) 21 Savage has some social media users questioning the tone of one of his recent tweets.
“I work so hard I feel like the ladies [supposed] to f-ck me and let me do my thing it’s mandatory you please me for all this hard work baby!” wrote the Atlanta rapper on January 20.
Many of the replies to Savage’s tweet suggested the Savage Mode creator was promoting rape culture.
“Young Savage why you rape culturing so hard?” posted one user, referencing a line from Savage’s “No Heart” single.
Not only is French Montana a multi-platinum artist/rapper, but he’s also known as one of the biggest moguls in the game, so it’s only right Kid Triple got him for his latest episode on “Mingle With The Mogul.”

(AllHipHop Rumors) These rappers love a Kardashian! Well technically Kendall is a Jenner but same difference. LOL.
As far as we knew it A$AP Rocky and Kendall Jenner either had a strong friendship or a strong situationship. You know how celebrities love to say they are “just friends” or like brother and sister.
Well apparently it looks like A$AP and the “quiet” sister are back kicking it as they were spotted in Manhattan on a major shopping spree. The two were spotted checking out some pretty nice grills, necklaces, and even engagement rings.
I don’t know if the engagement rings mean anything because I definitely thought Kendall was still kicking it with her alleged boo, Lakers player Jordan Clarkson!
Anyway maybe the two were just admiring some nice bling rather than actually considering taking a trip down the aisle anytime soon.
After all, in Hip Hop and Hollywood it’s mostly about “having fun” aka dating and f-cking around, and wasting each others time in 2017.
Kendall & A$AP do seem like they could kind of work as a couple, I guess. Hmmmmmm.
(AllHipHop Rumors) I thought Chief Keef was done with all of the beefing!
