(AllHipHop Rumors) Well it looks like 50 Cent isn’t the only veteran rapper to say he’ll be stepping away from the mic after giving his fans one more album.

Ironically his old pal, The Game, is sharing very similar sentiments!

Something was on The Game’s heart at one of his recent shows in Russia as the rapper shared,

“When I get back to LA, I’m going straight to jail because I f-cking had a fight with a police officer and sh-t. So I’m gonna sit down for a minute and write my next album, which is probably gonna be my last album. It’s called ‘Westside Story’, it’s gonna be some ill sh-t.”

Are you looking for new music from The Game? Is it indeed time for him to retire? Vh1 gon’ head and give 50 & The Game a joint “Road To Retirement” reality show. LOL.

Dang it seems like the homie has been catching all kinds of “L’s” especially since his request to get the damages in his sexual assault case were denied. Interestingly enough, some people believe that karma has caught up to Game for his violent “publicity stunts.” What are your thoughts?

Liar, Liar: Adidas Puts Blac Chyna On Blast!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well things were certainly looking up for Blac Chyna post her fake drama with Rob Kardashian.

Word on the street was that Angela Renee Kardashian’s lawyers were brokering her a quarter million dollar deal with Adidas.

Although the amount seems a bit low, apparently Adidas is calling bull on Chyna and her lawyer’s claims all together.

Blac Chyna definitely loves her Adidas though as she is seen sporting the brand on her reality show appearances and in her paparazzi shots.

Well according to Adidas reps TMZ has learned that no one in the company has spoken to or reached out to Blac Chyna about anything.

It did seem a bit odd for Blac Chyna to get a shoe line with the brand, but then again it wasn’t too far fetched as she has a huge following and a lot of publicity right now. Also head hauncho Kris Jenner can snap her fingers and get anyone a deal.

Someone’s lying Chy Chy, and it seems like it’s your crew.

(AllHipHop News) “You are now about to witness the strength of trail knowledge,” announces Justin Ashley in his new video titled “Straight Intta Oregon.”

The 8th grade Social Studies teacher is attempting to make history more interesting by combining N.W.A.’s classic song “Straight Outta Compton” with the educational video game The Oregon Trail.

“Straight Outta Compton” helped catapult N.W.A into eventual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees.

In addition, the California group’s album of the same name will be included in the Grammy Hall Of Fame class of 2017.

MECC’s The Oregon Trail is also a historic creation.

The computer game based on 19th-century pioneer life was inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame earlier this year.

Ashley worked with his Community House Middle School students as well as North Carolina rapper Yung Macnificent to create the rap and visuals for “Straight Intta Oregon.”

Five years ago, the educator’s Bill of Rights themed clip “Rights Rights Baby” went viral and has collected over 135,000 views on YouTube.

(AllHipHop News) It was just last month that Alabama rapper Yelawolf, claimed he was retiring from the rap music industry.Well, it appears Yelawolf has come out of his self-imposed hiatus with a brand new identity.

Yelawolf is now known as MWA, which are the initials for his government Michael Wayne Atha.

The rapper, who is signed to Eminem’s Shady Records, initially said that he was quitting rap during a “Trial by Fire” tour stop on November 21 in Santa Cruz.

Since his announcement, Yelawolf had been taking a break from social media. But earlier this week, a new track titled “Get Away” featuring MWA with DJ Paul of 36 Mafia hit the net earlier this week.

MWA followed up with an explanation for the reasons he retired, citing depression, alcoholism and the pressures of the music industry – including bad management for some of his recent issues – while commenting on old footage he posted from a psyche ward, where he had been committed.

“They couldn’t handle my vision .. I hoaxed the ‘suicide’ of Yelawolf with my ‘blood art’ along side a manic depressive state of mind from years of alcoholism…after loosing [sic] my BiggieSmallz @shawtyfatt I decided to sober up and rebrand my new music as Michael Wayne Atha MWA (my given name from my beautiful mother Sheila Diane the original gangster .. named after Michael Landon and John Wayne) and shook the f##### game ?.”

According to Yelawolf, he has turned over the keys to his Slumerican brand to his mother, as he gets sober.

“I found it time to rejoin myself on the west coast as the SKATEBOARDER of 28 years, the Visionary, CEO, White Trash High Fashion designer and Creative Director of my Mothers new multi conglomerate company SLUMERICAN … that’s right .. I gave her the keys .. congrats mom !! Your the illest !!!! God is good .. I’m pushing 300 days sober…”

(AllHipHop News) Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband, Chris Judd, was shocked to find out that his ex was on the way to hooking up with hip hop superstar, Drake.

Judd, who’d divorced Lopez in 2002, has since remarried and moved on with his life. Judd, who was also J.Lo’s former backup dancer/choreographer, seemed to be unaware that the pair were dating.

While he didn’t totally condemn the relationship between Jennifer Lopez, who’s 47, and Drake, who is 30, he didn’t seem to thrilled about their coupling.

“I don’t know, you kind of surprised me with that one,” Chris Judd said. “Whatever makes her happy, I guess. I’m not even the one to say anything, but as long as she’s happy, I guess it’s cool.”

The pair sparked rumors of a romance after posting cuddly images together on their social media accounts during Jennifer Lopez’ string of concerts in Las Vegas.

Nas Reflects On Missing The Mark With ‘Hip Hop Is Dead’ Album (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) When Nas declared “Hip Hop Is Dead” with his 2006 album, the statement was seen as a shock to the culture by many observers.

A decade later, the Queens spitter linked up with Google Play Music and Mass Appeal to reflect on his eighth studio album.

“I remember when De La Soul Is Dead album came out,” said Nas. “I like that they were able to do something different like that.”

He continued, “I never saw anybody kill off themselves, and I felt it would it would be dope if I could say something like ‘hip hop is dead’ that would make some of the young guys realize not only can you follow what’s happening today, but you can go back into the history.”

Nas now acknowledges he “missed the mark by miles” because he did not intend to “pick people apart.”

The album title was met with significant criticism from Southern rappers that felt it was meant to be a diss toward the region’s success at the time.

“I felt like it was for a younger artist to do,” explained Nas. “I thought the title was enough. To say it’s dead was to say, ‘I don’t know where to begin. I don’t know where to start but at least I’ll name it this and we’ll see what goes from there.”

The Hip Hop Is Dead LP included the title track with will.i.am, “Still Dreaming” with Kanye West and Chrisette Michele, and “Black Republican” with Jay Z.

Jhene Aiko’s Estranged Producer Husband Is Coming For Her Coins!

(AllHipHop Rumors) We wonder what Jhene Aiko’s bank account is looking like, because her estranged husband is coming for that azz.

Jhene Aiko’s “relationship” with producer Dot Da Genius was so short-lived that it was pretty much hard to believe that is was ever real! Home-wreckin’ Big Sean slid right up in there with some new music and some new D!.

Well apparently this relationship and marriage was very real as producer Dot Da Genius, aka Oladipo Omishore wants Aiko to pay him spousal support. He also wants the courts to block her from receiving any alimony from him! Say what now?!

BOSSIP has obtained documents that Dot filed in response to Aiko’s divorce filing. The former couple have both cited irreconcilable difference as the cause of their split.

Dot also wants the judge to explain all decisions as to who gets what in their messy divorce. While this is fair, I don’t think Aiko should have to pay for his lawyer fees like he wants her to! Aiko is certainly trying to deny Dot any spousal support.

Let this be a lesson kids: stop rushing stuff, and be careful who you decide to marry.

Here Are The Best Reviewed Hip Hop Albums Of 2016

(AllHipHop Features) Every December, various music outlets publish their individual “Best Albums Of The Year” rap-ups. AllHipHop.com provided a twist on that concept by curating a list of the “Best Reviewed Hip Hop Albums.”

Just like in 2014 and 2015, Metacritic Scores (MS) were used to determine the highest rated Hip Hop releases of 2016. Metacritic.com calculates the scores by giving weighted averages for reviews from leading print and online publications. Albums with an MS between 81-100 are labeled as receiving “universal acclaim.”

Of course, the pundits aren’t always right. Some of the most popular projects of ’16 didn’t make the cut. But this list does present a general consensus of the critics’ thoughts on the major Hip Hop projects around the time they hit the internet.

Do you agree with the choices? Do you think a particular album got snubbed? Check out AllHipHop’s “Best Reviewed Hip Hop Albums Of 2016″ and then share your own opinion in the comment section.
