Everyone knows how much Azealia Banks hates Iggy Azalea, but this time the “rapper” may have gone too far. Iggy Azalea recently opened up about having suicidal thoughts as a result of all of the ridicule and hate she received online and beyond. Iggy says she actually had a psychotic breakdown, despite all of her commercial success. Azealia Banks, in her heartless nature, commented under a clip of Iggy’s interview on Power 106 saying,
“YAAS, slavemaster, drive that slave truck right off the canyon.”
(AllHipHop News) Fresh off the stage from his performance in Tampa Bay at a Spring Break concert called Wild Splash 2016, Fabolous took the time to speak with the famed Bootleg Kev for a round of Q&A.
While Fab spoke about his new album with Jadakiss (Freddy vs Jason) that will be available on both iTunes and Tidal, Fab took the time to weigh in on the Troy Ave/Joey Bada$$ beef that’s been getting headlines over the past few weeks.
According to Fab, when Fabolous first met Troy it was through the streets and he didn’t even know Troy rapped. Since then the two have collaborated on a host of records including the fan favorite, “Only Life I Know.” (See Below)
“I worked with Troy Ave because I met him really in the streets and we built our relationship from there, and then it came out. Actually when I met him, I didn’t even know he rapped,” Fabolous explained.
“So I just met him and we ended up clicking and then he came out of nowhere talking about he rapped and he had songs and stuff, so I tried to help him out as much as I could.”
When asked specifically about the Capital Steez line by Troy Ave, Fabolous said, “I don’t know all the specifics in it,” but weighed in further on Rap beef in 2016.
“I don’t know all the specifics in it, I don’t know all that happened. I heard Troy respond, and then I heard that one of the guys came at Troy about his album sales or something like that. So I don’t really know everything that happened really in it, and I know people are going crazy about something that Troy said, but I don’t really know all the info,” Fab said of the beef.
“It’s a competitive sport so when people throw shots at you, you know, you gotta expect a retaliation too or a reply,” Fab said.
From there Kev and Fab kept it moving but whether you think Fab sides with Troy from their relationship in the streets, or whether Fab is neutral, Fab let it be known that rap is a sport and you better be ready.
Is Fab suggesting that anything is fair game? Let us know your thoughts below!
(AllHipHop News) G-Unit rapper Young Buck could end up behind bars, for allegedly violating the terms of his probation by threatening a man who is engaged to one of the mother’s of his children, and failing another drug test.
According to documents reported on by TheJasmineBrand.com, prosecutors want to throw the rapper back in jail after he threatened a man attempting collect on back child support owed to one of his daughters.
Prosecutors say Young Buck claimed he would “slap” and beat the man up in a series of angry texts, after the man accused the Nashville rapper of being a deadbeat dad.
When Young Buck’s P.O. got wind of the exchange, he contacted the victim, who confirmed the accounts and said he was in fear for his life after the threats of violence, because he believes the rap star associates with a gang.
The man told the P.O. that he’s in the process of getting a restraining order against Young Buck.
Young Buck was convicted of possessing a handgun and ammunition in 2013. He served 18 months in jail for the crime, but had three years of probation tacked on to his sentence to complete.
The rapper was sentenced to another 18 months’ probation, hit with a $7,500 fine and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. He was also supposed to submit to mandatory drug testing and treatment.
According to the documents, which were filed March 18, prosecutors claim that Young Buck failed another drug test. The infractions could land the rapper back in jail for up to 14 months.
This could put a hold on the reality show Young Buck announced yesterday on social media.
Yoooooo….at first is seemed like OVO rapper Mo-G was only sending shots to Drake’s manager. Now, that seems to be very far from the truth. Today, the dude put Drake under the bus and is presently dragging his former homie with the allegations that has dogged him recently. Mo-G is stating that he was hired to write and record hooks, bars and flows for Drake. WOW! He even put the text allegedly straight from Drake in there. Now, we all know anything can be fabricated, but is this a damning accusation?
Here are some of is rhymes…thoughts?
I think Drake is getting is writing fingers back in shape for some diss records.
Well, Mo-G won’t be going to the OVO Fest anytime soon.
The word on the street is that Slaughterhouse might be done as a unit. Their “newest” album was done over two years ago and nothing has come out. Meanwhile, Royce Da 5’9″ is the talk of the town with his new song “Tabernacle” and saying Drake’s ghostwriters invalidate him as one of the greats. Anyway, the other members have been active in other ways. Joe has the podcast and dropped an album last year – All Love Lost. Crooked I (KXNG Crooked ) recently released Statik KXNGwith producer Statik Selektah. Joell Ortiz just released a full album That’s Hip-Hop with producer Domingo. SOOOOOOOOOO….these incredibly talented dudes cannot get a release date for a group event, but have all these “smaller” project out? Why? I don’t know for certain, but source with AllHipHop say it lies with Eminem’s camp. Word is, Eminem and his manager Paul Rosenburg cannot seem to get an “industry” foothold in for the group to come out. Does that make sense? Basically, the buzz is low. I don’t think this is a case of the album being wack or anything. I personally think that the times have changed and how people see lyricists has changed as well. Others have stated that Jimmy Iovine moving from Interscope to Apple may have some bearing on it too. Lets face it, Eminem is somewhere sitting on half a billion or something, chillin’ and his guys are out here doing it for the culture. Facts.
Hopefully, Slaughterhouse returns in glorious form, but if they don’t, there is PLENTY stuff out there to support RIGHT NOW.
I don’t know if this is even worthy your time. So, I will be brief. Old Man Ebro claims that C Tha God tried to come from Clear Channel (Power 105) to Emmis (Hot 97) and join their morning show. I wonder..true false? Who cares?
He was trying to get rid of Ebro, which seems powerfully possible. He didn’t wanna work “under” Ebro.
Scarface’s Deeply Rooted is one of the real gems of 2015 and the album continues to give back. The OG Emeritus releases “F**k You Too” featuring ZRO, which shows the Houston rep has his eyes on 2016 as well.
(AllHipHop News) In a recent interview, Iggy Azalea said she left Australia and headed to the United States at the age of 16, to escape bullying.
But she could end up marrying one if a woman’s allegations prove to be true.
Her fiancé, Nick Young, is one of two players being accused of harassing a woman and her elderly mom in Hollywood over the weekend.
According to ESPN, The Los Angeles Lakers are investigating an incident involving Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson in Hollywood last Saturday (March 19).
Four men allegedly pulled up to an intersection in a jeep and shouted vulgarities and obscenities at Alexis Jones and her 68-year-old mother.
Alexis Jones is a graduate of USC and runs a nonprofit called I AM THAT GIRL. She also happens to be an activist who tries to prevent athletes from committing sexual assaults, and other abuses against women.
“They’re leaning out of the car and making vulgar, sexual gestures. My mom was really shocked. That immediately turned into sobbing,” Alexis Jones told ESPN.
Lakers head coach Byron Scott supposedly addressed the two players, but neither man has issued an apology as of press time.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Nick Young.
His soon-to-be wife, Iggy Azalea is currently promoting her new single “Team,” taken from her upcoming album Digital Distortion.
“Any time he wants to go out with the boys, he’s like ‘This is my last summer being a bachelor!’ So he likes that. He can milk it for longer with me, so he’s excited.”
They say that imitation is the finest form of flattery, but lately the Hip-Hop world has been coming down on Desiigner for sounding a little too much like his Southern counterpart Future. If things weren’t bad already, the Hip-Hop community will likely be up in arms about “Pluto,” a new song by Desiigner. The song happens to also be the title to Future’s debut project with Epic that cast him into the stratosphere of the top paid rappers.
Adding fuel to the biting controversy, a video surfaced over the weekend that showed Future hearing Desiigner’s “Panda,” in the club. Theres just some things that you can’t plan and the reaction on Future’s face is classic like he’s seemingly hearing the song for the first time.
Check it out below as Future reacts and Desiigner performs his new song “Pluto” at the Fader Fort during SXSW – oh yea and with the Pusha T G.O.O.D. music co-sign/intro.
(AllHipHop News) Imprisoned rapper C-Murder continues to make a case for his innocence with new visuals that just dropped for his latest song “Dear Supreme Court,” taken off his upcoming album Penitentiary Chances.
The new video and album from C-Murder are the latest in a string of releases from the rapper, who is serving a life sentence at Angola for allegedly shooting and killing a 16-year-old named Steve Thomas, in a now-defunct Jefferson Parish nightclub in 2002.
C-Murder, born Corey Miller, was found guilty of the crime by a jury in 2003. The verdict set off a lengthy legal battle over the credibility of the testimony presented against Miller, after it was revealed prosecutors had expunged the criminal records of their witnesses to help their case.
Bush said he decided to come forward out of guilt, since C-Murder is serving life.
Even though the rapper is being housed at Camp J in Angola, which is the prison’s most restrictive unit, he has high hopes that one day he will see his freedom. A source told AllHipHop.com that no less than President Barack Obama is taking a look into the case.
In the meantime, C-Murder will continue to use AllHipHop.com to offer more exclusive details about the status of his case, in addition to premiering more material from his Penitentiary Chances album.
The album is executive produced by Manuel “M.O.” Ortiz and C-Murder’s daughter, Chelsea Miller. Penitentiary Chances is due in stores this April and features guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, BoosieBadazz, Calliope Bub and verses from Soulja Slim’s son, Lil Soulja Slim.
Here are some shoutouts from C-Murder:
“I would like to thank Ira Sandles with Streetbred Clothing, Hiram Clarke, Cartoon Tutor Babi for the cartoon videos, Joseph Patterson (C-Murder look-a-like) for all his help, SoundTrendsLLC, Mike Shahin my video engineer, Calliope Bub, TRU, Too Short, RBC, Snoop Dogg and BoosieBadazz for their work on the album, Ms Deb – New Orleans, Uncle Ant, Big Pokey, Lil Soulja Slim, The Calliope Projects (CP3), Big Stews GFX, my TRU-Bossalinie artists, team, family, fans and supporters. If I missed anyone, my apologies ya heard me?” – Corey “C-Murder” Miller
(AllHipHop News) With social media these days, new talent takes off faster than we’ve ever seen before.
Such is the case of 21 Savage a new Atlanta talent who has garnered over 1.5 million views on his “Skrtt Skrtt”and “Dirty K” visuals respectively.
In addition, on his way to amassing over 4.5 million views on his “Red Opps” video, the young trap rapper has gotten a host of media attention after his run at SXSW.
While at SXSW 21 Savage blessed the illmore stage, one of SXSW’s most popular late night stages.
Fear not if you missed out at SXSW because Savage will be back in action March 30th at the #PlayersBallNYC at Webster Hall.
In association with Electric Circus, 21 Savage is set to headline another edition of the #PlayersBall that will likely be just as lit as the last one with Yachty.
In a recent interview with Fader, Metro Boomin said, “21 Savage is important because he’s one of the last real street n*ggas left making music.”
With the performance riding high on the buzz of street singles “Skrtt Skrtt,” “Red Opps,”” and “Dirty K,” Electric Circus looks to repeat the success of similar NYC performances for Trinidad James, Migos, ILOVEMAKONNEN, GoldLink, OG Maco, Rae Sremmurd, Tink, Post Malone, Kodak Black and most recently Lil’ Yachty,
Before 21 Savage hits the stage, the party will feature a special DJ set from GHE20G0THIK head honcho Venus X.
Music will be provided by Jedi P and Dylan The Gypsy, and hosting duties will be held down by Danasia Sutton and Kyle Rhodes.
A few weeks ago, Electric Circus shut down Webster Hall for a #PlayersBallNYC party with Lil Yachty.
The packed-out debut NYC headline performance rocked out for a little over about 45-minutes and featured special guest ASAP Ferg who also blessed the stage for a surprise impromptu performance.
Check out the footage below of the “Mobbin’ With Lil Yachty” vlog shot by Hidji Films and also a the popular 21 Savage visuals, “Red Opps” and “Skrrt Skrrt.”

Rumor has it that Young Thug recently assaulted his fiancee Jerrika Karlae while the couple was at the MGM Casino Hotel in Detroit. Jerrika jumped on Twitter to deny the claims but people want her to jump on Snap Chat to show her face. It didn’t help that Thugger tweeted,
“If you’ll tex a gay man. You’ll text a man.”
It sounds like Jerrika isn’t allowed to have any male friends. Interesting enough Young Thug fans have hacked her Instagram page and are demanding that Young Thug release Slime Season 3 before they hack his page too. #GirlFight! But seriously we hope Thugger isn’t out here putting his hands on women.
A pretty disappointing video of boxer Adrien Broner throwing money in a Wal-mart recently spread across the net. Whether it was a joke or not, most were disgusted by his childish and arrogant behavior. A cashier was giving Broner his change, and Broner threw the money up in the air after saying,
“He must not know. I’m AB I don’t need no change bruh.”
Maino wasn’t here for the BS as he posted,
“US unemployment sky high and n*ggaz throwing money in front of working folks waiting in line at a Walmart??? Smh me and @UncleMurda getting tired of you n*ggas! #Pu$$y #YellowTape #Brooklyn #KingKong&Godzilla ? @thisisazonevisual | @datnatikid”
Apparently Maino is tired of you “pssy nggas” and plans to release some new music with Uncle Murda about his frustration.
It looks like Universal may have “whitewashed” some of it’s trailers of ‘Straight Outta Compton’ in an attempt to appeal to the masses. At a SxSW panel, Doug Neil, Universal’s executive vice president of digital marketing, revealed that different people watched different trailers of the movie on Facebook. According to the website Business Insider, Non-blacks and Non-hispanics saw trailers that did not mention anything about N.W.A., but instead watched cuts that only made mention of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube’s success in their careers.
However, a Spokesperson from Facebook spoke out against Neil’s admission and claim by saying,
“Several news outlets have stated that Facebook allows advertisers to target ads based on race. That is not accurate. Facebook does not have a capability for people to self-identify by race or ethnicity on the platform. As part of its advertising offering, brands can target ads on Facebook to people based on how they might respond to content. The affinity segments are created, in a privacy-safe way, using signals such as different languages, likes, and group membership on the platform.”
What effect do you think the different trailers had on the film’s success and Oscar snubs?
Justin Timberlake seems to have taken a little musical break from the scene since the release of his ‘The 20/20 Experience’ album in 2013. It looks like the singer may be making a return to music with the help of Pharrell. He and Pharrell posted about being in the studio together to let us know they were cooking up something. Timberlake posted a photo of the two with the caption,
“Currently…”
Then Pharrell followed by saying,
“There will be no snap chapping (Snap-chatting), no insta-bamming (Insta-gramming) and no swittering (Twittering).”
Are you interested in hearing new music from these two?
Back in 2012, J Prince Jr., son of Rap-A-Lot founder and CEO J Prince, sued Drake’s management team for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, in what totaled 10 claims against Cortez Bryant and his business associates who also had rumored run in with J Prince Jr. as well.
In the lawsuit, J Prince Jr. alleged that Bryant and Drake verbally agreed to pay J Prince Jr. a portion of the profits earned.
Things seem to much better though now as you can see in the video below and by Drakes caption on his Instagram post, “Prince Family Photo ??????”
While the real impact of a Drake ghostwriter is questionable and likely depends on each listener, in a recent interview with VladTVRoyce da 5’9” revealed he was “surprised” at the Hip-Hop world’s reaction.
In addition to that, he said that he no longer considered Drake as a top-tier lyricist after he heard word of Quentin’s role in the OVO songwriting process.
“Hip-hop is evolving a little slower than the other genres. If this is what it’s evolving into, as an OG I accept it, but I don’t choose to write like that,” Royce da 5’9” explained to VladTV.
In breaking down his thoughts, Royce said the crux of the argument lies in his definition of a lyricist.
“I think automatically the rules do have to change a little bit when you are talking about ranking these artists and where they stand as far as best lyricist. You still got to put him in there as the best artist, you are still a great artist by pulling the songs together that way. You can’t take that away from him, but when you talk about best lyricist, I guess it comes down to what being a lyricist is to you. What is a lyricist to you?,” Royce said.
“To me a lyricist is a writer, the word lyricist and writing go hand in hand to me. So you automatically can’t be a top-tier lyricist if you not writing everything. You gotta write everything to be a top-tier lyricist in my book.” Royce said. “I’m not going to compare you to Rakim. I’ll call you the greatest of this era, but I won’t say you better than Rakim, and I won’t say you better than Kendrick, and I won’t say you better than Cole – as a lyricist”
When you got it like that, you can spend it like that and have no worries. Thats basically the lituation with Drake and Rich Homie as the two rappers blow cash in the strip club. Drake can be seen flashing a huge wad of cash while Rich Homie handles the camera work showing money on the floor and his friends celebrating a birthday for June.
(AllHipHop News) The late, great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated, “Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Rich Homie Quan seems to share a similar philosophy.
Young Thug recently took aim at his former Rich Gang cohort stating, “Hey…f**k Rich Homie!” right before playing their hit song “Lifestyle.” The song is their biggest hit thus far.
Rich Homie has not returned the negative sentiments. In a recent instagram post he raps, “I had to separate myself from Rich Gang/ No disrespect to Birdman…”Thugga Thugga still my Best Friend, Best Friend, Best Friend…”
Rich Homie restated his views in the caption on the post, saying “@thuggerthugger1 u can say f### me all u want to u still my BESTFRIEND,”
