Obama Turned His White House Correspondents Dinner Speech Into An All-Out Roast

By: Vance Brinkley Updated May 1, 2016 at 3:32pmCategory: News

Last night at the White House Correspondents Dinner, President Barack Obama turned his spotlight speech into something you would see at a roast on Comedy Central. Although it was the last dinner for the 44th President, that doesn’t mean it had to be serious. From hilarious slides to Donald Trump, Obama didn’t leave anything on the table. He started out joking on his own speech material, stating that he would reuse it at Goldman Sachs, so he could get him some “Tubmans,” a reference to the Harriet Tubman who will be the new face of the $20.

Obama even bagged on Bernie Sanders, who was present at the dinner. The president mentioned the two’s distant according to MSNNBC,

“Bernie, you look like a million bucks,” Obama said. “Or to put it in terms you understand, you look like 37,000 donations of $27 each.”

The president even targeted Donald Trump, from why he wasn’t at the Correspondents Dinner, to cracking a joke about his lack of experience on foreign policy.

“There’s one area where Donald’s experience could be invaluable, and that’s closing Guantanamo. Because Trump knows a thing or two about running waterfront properties into the ground.”

Although Obama served jokes to almost everyone that night, the high point of his speech was when he literally dropped the mic to end his speech.

This is how President Obama closed his final #WHCD speech. #theplaceforparty pic.twitter.com/zqwVUKWEww

Young Thugs Pays Tribute To Recent Texas Floods And Prince In “Texas Love” Video

By: Vance Brinkley Updated May 1, 2016 at 1:32pmCategory: Videos

Young Thug has always been known for his odd demeanor, from his lyrics to his style of dress. Unsurprisingly this also leads into Thugga’s catalogue of music videos, which have always had a weird persona. This is also true when he is paying tribute to both the families who suffered from the Houston floods and (indirectly) the late legendary singer Prince through his video for single “Texas Love.” The set of visuals include news footage of the floods, and also features the Atlanta rapper in front of Prince’s iconic logo drawn in a bloody red color.

EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: AR-AB ft Kevin Gates – “How I Do It”

By: Jake Crates Updated May 1, 2016 at 12:46pmCategory: Music

In an AllHipHop Exclusive Premiere, AR-AB delivers his highly anticipated song featuring Kevin Gates called “How I Do It.” The single comes on the heels of an interview with AR-AB where he discusses linking up with Kevin Gates, his relationship with Drake and how he’s turning over a new leaf speaking to youth in Philly.

“I’ve been doing a whole bunch of shows, I’m booked every weekend right now. I’ve been kind of busy doing that and I’m working on Who Harder than Me 4. I’m gearing up for this song with Kevin Gates, we are working out a video date and everything right now,” AR-AB explained.

The song itself is everything you would expect from Kevin Gates and AR-AB. The song is street and almost sounds like an extension of Kevin’s Islah album.

“When I came home from prison, I was talking to my manager and my manager had a plug with him, basically he was what I was listening to. They got us on the phone together and he was going around speaking to the local youth, like at detention centers and thats what I’m doing so we stayed on the phone DMing and texting each other. I didn’t even know he was going to be down at SXSW and we ended up doing this track,” AB explained of his Kevin Gates song.

Tupac’s Hummer Back On The Market For $100,000

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Apr 30, 2016 at 3:02pmCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) A Hummer that was once owned by legendary Rapstar Tupac Shakur has hit the auction block again.

Pac acquired the all black American Motors Hummer H1 just a month before he was gunned down on the Las Vegas strip in September of 1996.

The Hummer sat in storage for several years after Tupac’s death until 2003, when BET raffled it off in the “Picture Me Rolling” sweepstakes.

The Hummer eventually returned to Tupac’s extended family when Yaasmyn Fula, the mother of Outlawz group member Kadafi acquired the vehicle.

The Hummer was special to Mrs. Fula and her husband Sardar ‘Candyman 187’ Khan, owners of Havenotz Entertainment.

Tupac and Kadafi were god brothers.

Kadafi, who was also murdered in 1996 shortly after Pac’s death, spent many hours in the Hummer during the short time they were able to enjoy it.

The license plate included with the vehicle reads “YAKNPAK” as a tribute to the slain rap stars.

Also included are cassettes owned by Tupac including promotional cassettes for Michael Jackson’s Thriller and 2Pac’s All Eyez on Me.

The auction is scheduled to end on May 11.

The sale of the Hummer comes as shooting wraps up on a major feature film titled “All Eyez On Me” about the life and times of Tupac Shakur, which is slated for a November release.

Prince Memorial To Be Held In Los Angeles

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Apr 30, 2016 at 3:00pmCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Fans will be able pay tribute to late icon Prince during a public memorial in Los Angeles next month (May 16).

The “Purple Rain” star, 57, was found dead at his Paisley Park studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota on April 21, and next Friday (May 16), Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti will host a memorial for the legend.

The event will be held at Los Angeles City Hall, where Prince filmed his music video for 1991 hit “Diamonds and Pearls.” The building has been lit up with purple lights in honor of the star since his passing.

Mayor Garcetti praised Prince following his death, releasing a statement which reads:

“Prince was a once-in-a-generation talent. His genius on stage, and in the studio, was matched only by his determination to protect the integrity of his art and defend the rights of artists to control what they create.

“Memories of his work take me back to my childhood – and years later, I had the good fortune to witness his brilliance during an incredible performance at the Roosevelt Hotel. That night, I spoke to him briefly about my admiration for his music. Today, I join people in Los Angeles and throughout the world in mourning the loss of a true icon.”

Meanwhile, Prince’s half-brother Alfred Jackson has spoken out for the first time since his sibling’s passing.

He tells Entertainment Tonight, “I miss my brother, because my brother was everything in the world to me. God bless Prince, God bless the world. He’s a legend, he really is. He was a genius.”

A Minnesota judge recently placed bank bosses at the Bremer Trust, National Association, in charge of Prince’s estate after determining the superstar died without a will.

The singer’s sister, Tyka Nelson, asked a state judge to appoint her as a “special administrator”, and insisted she would be an heir to her brother’s fortune, while their five half-siblings were potential beneficiaries too.

Prince’s assets have reportedly been valued at less than $150 million, according to TMZ.com.

Police Arrest Chris Brown Fan For Trespassing

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Apr 30, 2016 at 11:06amCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) An overzealous Chris Brown fan has been arrested for trespassing on his California property for the second time in five months.

The R&B singer was at home in the early hours of Thursday (April 28), when his security guards spotted Danielle Patti outside his Woodland Hills pad.

Sources tell TMZ.com Patti had waited at the front gate until it was opened for another visitor, and then allegedly made her move to creep onto the grounds.

She was found by security officials, who detained her until police arrived on the scene to investigate. She was subsequently arrested on two counts of trespassing.

Patti appeared in court on Friday to face the charges, to which she pleaded not guilty.

Brown is now planning to file for a temporary restraining order against the woman, who pulled a similar stunt in December.

During last year’s incident, Patti, 27, was alleged to have driven her car onto Brown’s property and then refused to leave. She was taken into custody on suspicion of criminal trespass.

The obsessed devotee, who claimed to be dating the Kiss Kiss hitmaker, accused him of purposefully having her arrested, before trying to obtain a protective order against Brown amid allegations he had threatened her on social media.

She was granted the temporary order in early March, but an attempt to make it permanent was rejected by a Los Angeles judge weeks later after she failed to present evidence of the threatening messages she had received from Brown.

Brown is no stranger to fan harassment – in May, 2015, he returned from a trip to Las Vegas to find a female intruder lying naked in bed in his Agoura Hills home.

Amira Ayeb, an aspiring singer from Tunisia, was arrested and charged with felony stalking, vandalism and burglary. She denied the counts and was hit with a protective order banning her from contacting Brown for three years.

Did A Glitch In 9-1-1 Help Speed Up Prince’s Death!??

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Apr 30, 2016 at 9:04amCategory: Rumors

A glitch that was exposed in reports last year could have played a role in Prince’s death according to an investigation that started last year into the 9-1-1 response system.

According to an investigation, a serious glitch in the software the powers the 9-1-1 emergency system prevents operators from immediately knowing the person’s location where they are calling from. If someone doesn’t know the address, countless minutes are spent on the phone with an operator attempting to determine the caller’s location.

This is very problematic in emergency situations when a caller is frightened, injured or in serious danger. Take a look at this investigative video that just came out detailing how long it took for the people at Paisley Park to get their physical address to the 9-1-1 operator.

Police Search Prince’s Local Pharmacy

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Apr 29, 2016 at 7:49pmCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Authorities investigating the circumstances surrounding Prince’s death have executed a search warrant on his local Minnesota pharmacy.

The “Kiss” legend died at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen on April 21, and police are currently looking into claims suggesting the singer suffered from a dependency on prescription painkillers to treat a hip problem.

The superstar had been photographed making a stop at his local Walgreens on the eve of his death, and on Thursday (April 28) officials carried out a thorough search of the pharmacy, looking for prescription records which could shed some light on his medical issues.

According to TMZ.com, Prince had made four prescription runs to the Walgreens in the week leading up to his untimely passing, days after he was briefly hospitalized in Moline, Illinois for what his representative insisted was just a nasty bout of the flu.

The health scare on April 15 had forced the pilot of his private jet to make an emergency landing in Moline as they traveled home following a gig in Atlanta, Georgia, and reports have since alleged Prince had actually suffered an overdose of Percocet.

Authorities had descended on the Walgreens pharmacy searching for paperwork in Prince’s name or any possible aliases, and they are said to be targeting other medical officials who may have also provided medication to the singer.

Prescription pills are also alleged to have been found at his Paisley Park pad.

An autopsy was performed last week, but the cause of death is pending further test results. His body was cremated on April 23, after which a private memorial service was held at his Paisley Park home.

Meanwhile, a rare piece of Prince memorabilia from his 1984 cult film “Purple Rain” is heading to the auction block.

The black and white blazer he wore for a motorbike scene, which also featured co-star Apollonia Kotero, is expected to fetch at least $6,000 when it goes up for sale as part of a Profiles in History auction on June 29.

The original seller claims her sister, a make-up artist, was gifted the jacket from Prince after they worked together on “Purple Rain.”

“Empire” Season 2, Episode 15 Recap Spoiler Alert

By: kyliekrab Updated Apr 29, 2016 at 6:07pmCategory: Lifestyle

It’s Friday and it’s well past time for this week’s “Empire” season 2, episode 15 recap. Like we always stress in sharing these latest homemade Cliff’s Notes on Fox television’s very own “Game Of Thrones” gangsta rap remix, don’t read this if you do not want to know or if perhaps you aren’t quite sure. Just like Neo taking that “Matrix” pill from Morpheus, once you know you can’t ‘un’ know – just the rules of the game. But we will say that getting the lowdown on the most current aggressions and feral treacheries that we’ve come to know and love from the Lyons, their besties and their enemies… it’s pretty high up there on the guilty pleasures list, so if you slip and take a peek we won’t fault you. So, spoiler alert here it goes:

Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey) gets vital support from Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) in her time of need. In the surprise twist of twists, Cookie, for the sake of Hakeem’s (Bryshere Y. Gray) unborn baby, actually calms down Anika when she is on her way to the hospital in an ambulance. When the paramedics can’t calm down Boo Boo Kitty’s crazy, Cookie is actually a maternal pillar of strength for the corporate side chick that she loves to hate. But wait a minute… why is Anika on her way to the hospital?

Anika has some sort of unexplained panic attack that puts her in the hospital. Right before Cookie is set to ‘handle’ the problem that Boo Boo Kitty poses as the new human incubator for the next generation of the Lyon dynasty, she runs smack dab into the paramedics taking Anika out of her house on a stretcher. Early on, Cookie calls it as a panic attack – but is it? Honestly, it’s hard to tell seeing as Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) has threatened Anika’s life and Anika has been known to stalk Hakeem’s fiancee Laura (Jamila Velazquez), the woman who in all likelihood will be her baby’s step mother. Only time, or perhaps the two remaining episodes up until the end of season 2, will tell.

Empire board members intend to elect Lucious Lyon and Cookie Lyon as the new co CEOs of Empire. Honestly, with all of the deft public mending that Cookie has done to keep the family together as a cohesive business entity, we could have seen this one coming, but it’s still pretty darn shocking. Even more shocking is that Lucious, upon hearing about it from the board holders, graciously declares that he thinks this is a good idea – to the slack jawed surprise of Cookie. Factual hiccup – when Cookie got out of jail in “Empire” season 1, didn’t Lucious say that per federal law, as a convicted felon Cookie could never hold the office of CEO in a company like Empire, let alone a publicly traded company? Hmmmm. However, no matter what the logistics, seeing the hug that Lucious gives Cookie after hearing the news, one can’t think that this hug has less of a relationship to celebration versus direct kinship with the kiss of death.

Soon after becoming Empire’s very public face for Bipolar Disorder, Andre (Trai Byers) learns that Lucious’ mother, Leah Walker (Leslie Uggams) is alive. Courtesy of the rage of yet another woman sexually scorned and betrayed by Lucious, this particular one being that shameless journalist Harper Scott (Annie Ilonzeh), Andre learns the exact details and location of his dear old departed bipolar grandmother, who is in fact not departed at all, as she is living just outside of Philly. With this revelation, it’s a good guess that there are more bombshell inconsistencies lurking in the dark picture that Lucious has been painting publicly and privately with regards to his complicated relationship from mother to son. And so the plot thickens….

“Empire” airs Wednesdays at 9:00/8:00 c on Fox.

By: Jake Crates Updated Apr 29, 2016 at 5:17pmCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) This week Trinidad James dropped a video dedicated to plus sized models and women who are outside of the modeling industry’s typical slender shape.

The Jon J directed music video showcases the vibrant Hip-Hop artist along with guest artists Mystikal and Lil Dicky as they celebrate full figured women.

“Don’t hide it. Celebrate it this summer and every day that you live… cause what I do know is life is a speeding bullet out the chamber and this bullet of life can penetrate and surface as long as you believe it can! #JALT is a Female Anthem delivered through the perspective of a Curvy Woman,” says Trinidad James.

The Atlanta rapper continues, “every song I heard for the last 3 summers that were ‘per say’ dedicated to the females were always delivered with either “Vixen,” “Bad B####,” “Model Chick,” or “Slim Thick” as the canvas.”

“Nothing wrong with that, cause I love those women too, but what about my #CurvyWarriors?! Society has a weird way of showing appreciation for one another. Just let the person on the other side know, somebody got LOVE 4 YOU. Be Big, Be Fine, Be You my Loves.”

On Wednesday this week (April 27), the artists hosted a New York Pop Up Event for their new DJ Mustard produced hit single where the guys premiered the music video and performed sets by each of the 3 artists.

Be sure to catch the #Trindicktikal trio’s outrageous appearance on Funny Or Die that premiered on the #1 comedy brand last week.
