Busta Rhymes Writes Touching, Heartfelt Letter About Phife

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) The world of Hip-Hop continues to mourn the sudden loss of Phife Dawg, a founding member of A Tribe Called Quest.

Long time friend and collaborator, Busta Rhymes finally took to social media to explain his emotional state in the aftermath of Phife’s passing.

As a member of Leaders of the New School, Busta and Phife worked together quite frequently. In the letter, Busta talks about their 28-year old friendship.

I had to spend the last 2 days going thru a lot of honest thoughts and emotions b 4 I spoke because this one hurts soooo f###### much. I can’t begin to explain what @iamthephifer and @qtiptheabstract and @jarobiwhite and @alishaheed means to me and how much they have done for my life. These guys are my big brothers, my friends, and the dudes that always protected me frm the b####### that came with life both personally and professionally in a way that only big brothers can do it. If u look at this picture closely, on the night of one of my my most magical moments in my 25 year journey in music DEC.5th 2015, I was able to have a dream come true in a way that it never had and that was to perform What’s the scenario (original and the rmx) for the 1st time ever back to back with all of the original members of Leaders of the New School and A Tribe Called Quest since we recorded these songs in 1991 & 1992. That night was so magical with all of the love that was under one roof that it’s too much to get into the details of but again please take another look at this picture, if u notice @iamthephifer had his hand on my back consoling me as I kneeled down to give thanks crying tears of joy because of how proud of a moment that was for me being able to end a 4 hour set with brothers who put me in a position where I was able to tell my mother she will not have to work for anyone over 20 yrs ago. The belief that they had in me puttin’ me and Leaders on that record, putting me last on the record because back then being last on the record meant EVERYTHING, I had no idea at that time what they were setting me up in life to be but thru out the years it was so consistent their love and concern for my well being that it was no way I couldn’t see it. Ever since that concert I have had the opportunity to spend time with Phife way more than I have been able to in over 10yrs. I’ve known this man for over 28yrs and I think I’ve seen him in the last 4 months the happiest that I’ve seen him in a very long time. It was apparent that every wish that he had was coming true and I can honestly say that I was witnessing the anointing frm a bird’s eye view 1st hand. Until we meet again King, RIP

Nicki Minaj “Robs” Her Own Security

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Nicki Minaj was performing in Dubai and became enraged because her security wasn’t doing a good job.

Did Bill Clinton Take A Shot At President Obama?

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) It seems like Bill Clinton has taken the liberty to take a shot at President Obama, as he continues to stump for wife Hillary.

In Spokane, Washington, he said: “If you believe we can rise together, if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before that where we were practicing trickle-down economics, then you should vote for her.”

An odd critique from a former president that has admitted to his role in mass incarceration and regrets for ignoring the genocide in Rwanda.

Clinton saved his fondest words for his wife, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

“From the time I met her 45 years ago until we talked yesterday, she is the best change maker I have ever known,” Clinton said. “She always finds a way to make something good happen, to make people feel empowered, to buy people into the process, to make democracy work the way the framers intended for it to work.”

Wiz Khalifa Pays Homage To Phife Dawg Remix Of ‘Electric Relaxation’

By: Vance BrinkleyCategory: Music

Ever since news surfaced that Phife Dawg, member of the legendary rap group A Tribe Called Quest, passed away earlier this week after a long fight with Diabetes, several artists have released looses to pay homage to the 5 Foot Assassin. One the recent rappers to make a tribute is Wiz Khalifa, who has recently released a remix of the classic ATCQ hit “Electric Relaxation.” Although the flip has the classic instrumental along with Phife’s rhyme’s, Wiz’s cover includes his stoner twist to the mix, rhyming about smokin and kicking it with a chick, while also going back and forth with Phife’s rhymes.

The song just released today through Taylor Gang’s website. Check it out:

Young Thug: The Chickens Have Come To Roost

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: Rumors

Young Thug did it to Lil Wayne.
Desiigner is doing it to Future.
Now, Kyng is doing it to Young Thug.
The Chickens are roosting.

This kid Kyng is a direct BITE off of Young Thug’s whole style. I feel a bit guilty even writing about it, but Young Thug did a similar move when he tried to swipe Weezy’s Carter series. Now, Kyng is putting out Slime Season 3, but Young Thug already has that. See the trend? But Kyng is more treacherous than that. He has stolen Young Thug’s trademark likeness and it probably going to be a menace to his ATL counterpart. Whew! Hip-Hop is getting hard to defend with these sort of characters poppin’ up. What’s even more ironic, he’s from New Orleans. I wonder if Birdman is aware…

Ted Cruz On Cusp Of Sex Scandal Due To Trump?

By: KyliekrabCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) It has long been said that when it comes to power, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.  Nevertheless, no matter what one thinks of the current state of the Republican party or the highly contentious race between GOP Presidential nominee candidates, the depths to which the political warfare threatens to sink between GOP frontrunners Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is truly circling a metaphorical gutter which few would wish on their own worst enemy – no matter what the political benefit come November.

The latest brouhaha in a Republican race that has included references to penis size  and acts of violence on the campaign trail now would seem to include The National Enquirer, and the accusation by Ted Cruz that his in party political rival, Donald Trump has supplied the supermarket tabloid with a damaging story that The Enquirer has released alledging that Cruz has engaged in nothing short of five extramarital affairs with five “secret mistresses.”

Cruz has said that 24 hours before this salacious “tabloid smear” broke in The National Enquirer, Trump had tweeted about Cruz’s wife Heidi Cruz, “threatening her” and “attacking her directly,” in what is believed to have been a t## for tat response to a very suggestive nude modeling photo of Trump’s wife Melania that was central in a campaign ad backing Cruz and questioning Melania’s suitability as a future First Lady.

In addressing the origin as well as the veracity of The National Enquirer’s story and claims, Cruz called the report the work of Trump’s “Henchmen,” going to the length of naming longtime Republican strategist and Trump chief political advisor Roger Stone as one of the guilty.  In Cruz’s denunciation of Stone as the only source on the record for the article, which Cruz has unilaterally categorized as “garbage,” and “complete and utter lies,” Cruz had this to say in regards to Stone’s methods and longtime tenure as a GOP political strategist: “(Roger Stone) is a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent,” said Cruz, adding: “Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him.”

While Cruz was anything but shy or evasive in his dressing down of Stone as a man “with fifty years of dirty tricks” as a former aide to the much maligned and criticized former Republican president Richard Nixon, when Cruz was questioned directly about whether he would still stick to his promise to endorse Trump should Trump win the GOP Presidential nomination, the cause and effect ramifications of Cruz’s wrath in response to what he has called the “sleaze” tactics of Trump quickly became murky.  Cruz declined to give a direct answer to the query, as reported by The New York Times, sticking to the decidedly noncommittal response: “I don’t make a habit out of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my family.”

3 Good Things About Batman Vs Superman and 3 Bad Things About Batman Vs Superman

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: Lifestyle

Everybody is talking about Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. The movie has gotten very mixed reviews from both fans and critics alike. Now, I encourage every comic fan to see it, even if the movie isn’t great. It is worth seeing at least once – just don’t get popcorn. Keeping it real, I will be seeing it a second time after unexpectedly not knowing that it would be difficult to stay awake at certain parts of the movie. That is not a diss in and of its self. That is to say the second time around, I know what to expect. Click here to read a the official review.

5 GOOD THINGS!

1) BEN AFFLECK ROCKS

Don’t think we don’t remember those memes you all had. (“We” is team Affleck!) You laughed at Ben. And you then used your little apps to laugh some more. Sure, he botched Daredevil and was a version of Superman. But, the Ben Affleck that shows up as the Dark Knight in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is world class. In fact, he really puts all other Batmen to shame. Mark my words: He is Heath Ledger to Christian Bale’s Jack Nicholson. I firmly think they need to move quickly on a new Batman movie, but first…

2) WONDER WOMAN GOT NEXT!

It is literally a beautiful thing to see a female lead coming in a superhero movie. When is the last time we saw one of those? It has also truly been decades since folk have seen a visual on Wonder Woman that mattered. All of that changes with Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. We’ve been seeing her look over a year, but she truly came through in every way in “Batman vs Superman.” She is the biggest winner of BvS and we (you included) cannot wait to see the Amazonian warrior princess on the silver screen. Wonder Woman will hit theaters on June 23, 2017.

Shout out to Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman.

3) THE FIGHT SCENES!

There are a number of battle and fight scenes in “Batman vs Superman” and they are all ridiculously entertaining. There is not more to say. If you have yet to see them, you are in for a treat.

All the Awesome New Action and Clues Inside the Final Batman v Superman Trailer

5 BAD THINGS

1) THE RUN TIME OF BvS

I am all good for a long, epic saga. However, this ain’t it. There has been a tendency to make superhero flicks something other than superhero flicks. There is an innate desire by movie makers to offer deeper themes, subject matter and weightier material. This has made for great movies like 2008’s The Dark Knight or Captain America: The Winter Soldier. There have also been duds. Batman vs Superman brood for about 45 minutes – needlessly! After seeing all the action-filled trailers, fans wanted to see a rush of adrenaline. We knew it would brood along, but I truly had no idea. At 2 and a half hours, I would have preferred they cut some of the plot for a more basic flick. Go figure. Basic. Set-up. Plight. Fight.

2) THE PLOT

I really wish I could delve more into the plot, but I am not here to spoil it. But, I have to say it was a convoluted mess, in my opinion. I know these are strong words, but they are the only words that come to mind. BvS represented the “DC Takeover” and we were all ready to bear witness. Because of this, I believe they felt the need to put everything – including the kitchen sink. There are far too many plot holes, unnecessary features and STUFF! When you see it, you will know what I mean.


3) SAD AFFLECK

Ben Affleck did what he was supposed to do. Ben bulked up with roughly 20 pounds of muscle and was ferocious as Batman. He was ridiculed before the movie and now…it happens again. The issue is Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. The movie is unoriginal, top-heavy and overly ambitious. Zack Snyder’s movie did its job though. It has already broken records and is expected to rake $180 at the box office opening weekend. That is a real-world victory for the director. For us fans – not critics – we’re left to wait for Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War, which does not hit theaters until May 6.

What did you think about the movie?

EXCLUSIVE: Up-And-Coming Compton Rapper Payso Speaks On A&E Documentary ‘Straight Into Compton’

By: Jake CratesCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) With the resurgence of a West-Coast Hip-Hop movement backed by Kendrick Lamar’s 7 Grammy’s and multiple achievements, the spotlight is shining bright on the city of Compton, California once again.

This time the light shines bright on the small Los Angeles sub-city in a new A&E series that’s set to hit television this Spring.

While A&E has yet to release an official statement on their website, a recent interview with Compton rapper Payso revealed that the show will be called Straight Into Compton and will take viewers on a behind the scenes ride of one of LA’s most notorious communities.

“I took them to my main street Nord St. and they brought all the cameras out, they had a big ass van and the cameras and cranes swinging around. I was sitting on top of the house that I grew up in. They had all my homies out from my hood and sh*t,” Payso explained.

“They had all my homies on the porch, they interviewed damn near everybody from my ‘hood. They talked to my My Momma my Granny, all that s###. Then they took me to my elementary and I was telling them little stories about what happened. Then we walked through my whole hood and I did some freestyles. It was a pretty decent interview”

According to Payso there are several other rappers from Compton that will also be featured in the doc including Game, AD, and YG to name a few.

Compton rapper AD, who was featured on The Game’s most recent album The Documentary 2.5, also Tweeted out an image of him working on the A&E series.

 

Currently Payso has been steady at work on creating visuals for his most recent mixtape, The Plug and was featured on Ray J’s newest song, “Real Life Playa.”

Many regarded the song as Ray J’s official response to Kanye West for mentioning Ray J on The Life of Pablo.

Check out Payso’s most recent video for “Man of the Year” below:

Quentin Miller Confirms Meek Mill And His Dreamchaser Goons Beat Him Up

By: Jake CratesCategory: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Today (March 25th) VladTV dropped an interview with Quentin Miller and some unknown information came out related to the Meek Mill and Drake beef from last year.

In the interview, media insider Taxstone is shown in a pop-out-screen revealing that Meek Mill and his Dreamchaser crew beat up Quentin Miller.

“Meek wanted the mu’f#### to write for him,” Taxstone said. “Quentin Miller wouldnt write for him, so they blew it up like ‘this mu’f#### write for Drake.’ That’s how it really came out and that’s why Dreamchasers beat Quentin Miller up in LA.”

Upon seeing the clip with Vlad, Quentin began to explain what really happened that day. Quentin Miller confirmed the beatdown at Footlocker in LA and after all of the beef with Drake and Meek.

“Yea its true,” Quentin Miller said repeatedly laughing. “They caught me. We was walking, I was in LA and I walking to the Nike store and he approached me and this was really my first time talking with Meek. And he basically told me like, you know he didn’t appreciate the letter that I dropped, and that it made him seem like he was a liar and stuff. And they stole off in my Nike store and ran. I shed blood in the Nike store on Wilshire. I shed blood in the Nike store”

“I’m really bout this life,” Quentin Miller laughed as he beat on his chest. “But nah that s### is real. As far as details about that other s###. I’m not going to detail that. As far as DJ Drama,  I always got love and respect for DJ Drama. As far as Meek Mill I dont get them, I don’t get how he moves or why they make the decisions they make, but I guess that’s just who they are, its whatever.”

No cops and no charges were pressed according to Quentin.  Quentin asserts that he’s not at “street n*gga,” and said “They can have that.”
