Canelo vs. Khan Tour Ends With Trump Sized Bang

By: KyliekrabCategory: EventsMarch 8, 2016

It was the end of a whirlwind three city international press tour for the Saul “El Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32KOs) vs. Amir “King ” Khan (31-3-0, 19KOs) Cinco De Mayo weekend fight that Donald Trump built, according to Golden Boy Promoter Oscar De La Hoya last week in Los Angeles – the final stop on the tour: “The response we had in the UK was amazing and New York was incredible,” said De La Hoya in describing the previous stops to promote the battle scheduled for May 7, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the brand new T-Mobile Arena. “Here in LA, I can’t wait to start the press conference at 6:00pm tonight and I have to thank Mr. Trump for this,” concluded De La Hoya with a mischievous cheese eating grin.

Honest Abe, to hear De La Hoya tell it, the idea of matching up red hot WBC World Middleweight champion Alvarez against former two time light-welterweight Khan was borne directly from De La Hoya’s internal reaction to the somewhat incendiary Mexican and Muslim campaign talk of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. “You have the biggest Mexican fighter on the planet today (in Canelo) and one of the most popular Muslim fighters in Amir Khan,” intoned the East LA born and bred De LA Hoya, adding with a wide grin, “I mean sh*t, this is like a dream come true for Mr. Trump. It’s the biggest fight of this year!”

To add to the fight festivities, Oscar De La Hoya plans to include the planting of a tree of peace in Las Vegas as a measure of exactly what he believes bringing together a pro Mexican audience along with a pro Muslim audience can do to generate great American entertainment, fun and national revenue for all. “Fight fans will tune in, casual fans will tune in. The brand new arena, T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas, Cinco De Mayo weekend. We’ve already put the order in – bring in extra Tecate beer because the fans are going to be thirsty that weekend, ” concluded a pleased as punch De La Hoya.

While Trump’s views might appear to be the major the controversial foil for the May boxing match up, the real controversy that keeps unfolding would seem to be centered around the question of weight. When it comes to Alvarez’s first title defense of his much desired WBC title, the fact that Khan is jumping up not one but two weight classes to fight Canelo at 155 has been the cause of much speculation and concern that the battle might prove a mismatch in Alvarez’s favor. Nevertheless, despite these concerns on paper, viewed side by side during the media tour, many noted that Khan rather than Canelo would seem to be the naturally bigger man. To hear Amir subsequently address the issue to the press, he seemed to be more on the side of enjoy the novelty of his unusual status versus dreading the difficulties: “I’ve never gone into any fight as a professional where I’ve been the underdog and that for me is massive,” stated Khan, adding: “I really believe that that’s going to work on my side going into this big fight.”

As for Canelo, in his usual straight forward fashion, he made it clear that no easy button had been pushed in his decision to fight Khan, but rather the opposite, considering Khan’s reputation and resume. “When you are inside the ring, nobody has an advantage,” stated Alvarez politely, continuing: “I’m always going to be criticized and that doesn’t bother me. I have to be ready, I have to get ready for whatever (Khan) brings and that’s what I’m focusing on.”

To the delicate question of focus, Golden Boy’s ultra bright spotlight on Canelo vs. Khan as the biggest anticipated fight of 2016, continues not to be strong enough to obliterate 2017’s gorilla in the shadows, self dubbed “Mexican Style” supernova middleweight Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31KOs) the “Good Boy” hailing from Kazakstan and training in Southern California. Fight fans have long been clamoring for a do or die matchup between Canelo and GGG as the two brightest and most bruising stars in the increasingly thinning top boxing middleweight stratosphere. Golovkin has his own fight to win before May 7th versus Dominic Wade (18-0, 12KOs), on April 23, 2016 at the Forum in Los Angeles, but smart money says GGG will likely defeat Wade, finally clearing the path towards the long awaited showdown between GGG and the winner of Canelo vs. Khan. In any event, barring some crazy upset, Kazakstan will likely be in the house come May right along with Mexico’s finest and the best Muslim fighter the UK has to offer come T-Mobile fight night. Win or lose, it should be a dream come true for Donald Trump, Oscar De La Hoya, boxing fans, and anyone worldwide who loves to see a good middleweight showdown American style.

Saul ” Canelo” Alvarez vs. Amir “King” Khan will be broadcast live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on HBO PPV on Saturday, May 7, 2016 at 9:00pm ET/ 6:00pm PT.

Mos Def Re-Enters Court With Scarf After Being Forced To Remove Turban; Facing More Litigation In Late March

By: Jake CratesCategory: NewsMarch 8, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Just when you thought that racism and prejudice primarily existed in the United States, we learned today that South Africa is still up to its dirty tricks that we thought ended with apartheid in the mid 1990’s.

In an act of blatant disrespect, today a judge forced former rapper and actor Yasiin Bey to remove a religious garment from his head prior the day’s court proceedings.

Despite the prejudiced act by South African courts, Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) returned to court with a scarf on his head in order to still observe his personal religious beliefs.

While it’s believed Mr. Bey practices Islam, turban-wearing traditions can be found in the Indian Subcontinent, Afghanistan, South Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Sahel, and parts of the Swahili Coast which encompass many different religions.

The former Black Star rapper has a new court date set in a case that stems from overextending his stay with an expired visa and “aiding and abetting” his family members to overstay their welcome in South Africa where Yasiin Bey has been living since 2013.

“I am currently in Cape Town South Africa and I am being prevented from leaving unjustly, unlawfully and without any logical reason,” Yasiin Bey said in statement back in January on Kanye West’s website.

In addition to aiding and abetting his family to stay illegally in South Africa” Yasiin Bey is charged with trying to use a “world passport” to exit the country on a flight to Ethiopia.

Currently the Brooklyn bred rapper born, Dante Terrell Smith, is out on what amounts to a $300 bail and has a new court date set for March 24th.

Hopsin Airs Out Funk Volume And Damien Ritter In Power 106 Interview

By: Jake CratesCategory: NewsMarch 8, 2016

(AllHipHop News) As the saying goes, “once you sign on that dotted line…”

Such is the case of former Funk Volume and California based rapper Hopsin who recently took the time to air out his former label Funk Volume in a recent Power 106 interview.

In the interview Hopsin accuses Damien Ritter of “taking more money than he deserved and expresses the anger he has over losing the label he created.” He also speaks on his relationship with Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton and the other Funk Volume artists stating that they are all still cool.

“It all kind of started when the Funk Volume 2015 tour started. I’ve been kind of a blinded artist who didn’t ask questions his whole career,” Hopsin explained. “When you are young and coming into the game, you just want your music to be out there and so you don’t really put your mind into the business aspect of things, but as I started getting older I started questioning more.”

“I noticed I was on the tour and he didn’t tell me what I was going to get paid on the tour until I was on the tour and I had to actually asked him,” Hopsin said. “So he was my manager, he was playing accountant, he’s been playing the label owner, he’s been playing everything.”

“There was also a lot of stuff with the way things were being ran on the tour and so I just kept asking more and more questions and he was so uncomfortable with me asking the questions. I feel like as a business man, doing business with anybody you should be able to ask questions,” he added. “I saw the payment structure of what he sent me when I asked it and it was just something he created. I wanted to know, where did you get this from?

Aside from Ritter playing the role of accountant, label owner and manager, much of what Hopsin says Ritter promised was not delivered in their Warner Brothers distribution deal.

“Damien started negotiating a distribution deal with Warner Brothers and they still promised a lot of things and there were things that were promised, that never really happened,” Hopsin complained. “They were going to promote the album and give it a bigger reach and that didn’t happen. We didn’t get any late night TV shows and we didn’t do anything we hadn’t done on our own being independent working out of our houses,” Hopsin lamented.

“Damien was the front man for all this stuff, and I just kept asking questions and things weren’t making sense. So I just came to the conclusion I needed a new manager,” Hopsin said of Damien.

Hopsin said he knew everything was wrong when Ritter allotted $50,000 for himself for a tour he was never on and when Ritter got mad at him for wanting a new manager. Whats more is that Hopsin says he’s playing people’s managers, lawyers accountants and more still to this day, but nothing is being done about it.

Snoop Dogg Says His New Leafs By Snoop Edibles Are The “Do It Fluid”

By: Jake CratesCategory: NewsMarch 8, 2016

(AllHipHop News) When it comes to Snoop’s endorsement’s of products and services, the list is as long as it is varied.

From Adidas to Overstock.com to Levi’s to Cuca Fresça liquor, Snoop get’s it in and he gets that money – oh yea and he likes the products too.

Snoops latest endeavor is right up his alley though, as the Long Beach icon has taken on weed infused edible foods that will send even the Doggfather soaring through cloud-9.

In a recent interview with Conan O’Brian, Snoop explained how potent the edibles really are and how the beneficial CBD’s are enjoyed by a host of marijuana patients.

“Well me personally, I don’t really agree with edibles because they have a button thats an on, but they don’t have an off button, when it comes to me. I don’t like not being in control, so I’d rather not, but for those that do, that don’t prefer to smoke, it’s the best, high quality CBD, it’s the top of the line, it’s the do it fluid,” Snoop told Conan.

Cardi B Explains Why Getting With Girls Isn’t Cheating, Blasts Presidential Hopeful Hillary Clinton

By: Jake CratesCategory: NewsMarch 8, 2016

(AllHipHop News) With a mixtape flying off the proverbial internet shelves, Love & Hip-Hop headline maker and head turner Cardi B recently spoke with The Breakfast Club about her love life, politics and stepping into the lime-light.

As she chopped it up with Charlamagne, Envy and Angela in a scattered interview, Ms Cardi B explained how her man doesn’t consider her being with a woman as cheating while he is in jail.

For the gossip heads out there, she also explained how she doesn’t plan to get married when her man comes home from jail, but will remain loyal to him despite their issues with his infidelity in the past.

“Like he said yea, it is what it is, and I know that he (Tommy) don’t call her anymore. I know he don’t because they would have posted it right up,” Cardi B explained of Tommy (pictured below).

When Cardi explained that she is romantically involved with another female she said, “With a female. He don’t consider that cheating, he like ‘send me pictures.'”

But while they will be together when he gets out, its seems like the buck stops there -literally. Cardi doesn’t seem like she wants to get married based on what she says below about prenuptials.

“You know what I realized about getting married. To me it seems like marriage is just a piece of paper. If I want to get divorced, $1000 dollars, divorce byeeee. I didn’t realize that when we get a divorce he gets half,” Cardi joked. “Marriage shouldn’t be about business and worried about money, I thought it was about love… There’s so many agreements to it, damn I rather just have a baby and that signifies love.

As a balancing act, Cardi B also showed a more intellectual side of things and took the time to give a slight endorsement for Bernie Sanders, while saying that Hillary doesn’t care about minorities a al Kanye West’s “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people” statement.

“I do want to vote for Bernie, however but there are certain things that you just can’t stop that, its unbelieveable. Like for example he wants to stop racism. It’s like that’s not going to happen! There’s certain things you just can’t do. What are you going to do? Go burn a bunch of Confederate flags in Virginia Beach and got damn Mississippi?” Cardi B said as she endorsed Bernie Sanders. “You can’t change racism, like it is what it is. I be seeing Trump’s sh*t and it’s ridiculous. Aight then yall go vote for Trump, ya’ll so thirsty to get the economy fixed like when the Germans were when their got money was depreciating that you don’t think about the little things. Like you don’t think Isis is gonna feel a certain type of way and go blow some sh*t up?”

“I do like Hillary just because she a woman and I feel like she’s a strong woman, however I do feel like she’s a little fake. Like you gotta hit the dab to get a few votes?” she added. “Like girl shut up you don’t care about the Blacks, you don’t care about the minorities.”

The Biggest Diva: J Lo And Mariah Carey Exchange Shots In The Media

By: Jake CratesCategory: NewsMarch 8, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Yup she’s still “Jenny from the Block,” and yes Mariah still “doesn’t know who she is.”

It seems like this feud of the super star divas will never come to an end as the two superstars took shots at each other in the media over the last week.

Just last week J Lo was on the Wendy Williams show and when asked about some of the Vegas shows she’d seen, she quickly side-mentioned that she “didn’t see Mariah,” because she wasn’t performing at that time.

“Before I even signed my deal to go to Vegas, when they were offering it to me, they were like we want you to come to this, I saw a bunch of shows. And I saw everybody, I didn’t see Mariah because at the time she wasn’t playing, she hadn’t started yet,” J Lo said to Wendy Williams and the crowd’s laughter. “She’s forgetful I guess, I don’t know, we’ve met many times, I don’t know, I don’t know her very well.”

https://youtu.be/Cgzdifl0eGc?t=13m15s

Well, word of that little chuckle on the Wendy Williams show must have gotten around to Mariah because last night TMZ caught Mariah throwing shade at J Lo as she jumped in the Lyft vehicle in Beverly Hills.

“I still don’t know her,” Mariah said with a smile, as she signed an autograph and quickly dashed away laughing.

Do you think J Lo knew that this would kick up some dust or do you think it was unintentional? Check the video clips and sound off below!

Was Kim Kardashian’s Twitter Hacked By Kanye?

By: ClassicOneCategory: RumorsMarch 8, 2016

Kim Kardashian jumped on Twitter last night with a drag session as she decided to let everyone who had something negative to say about her flashback nude Instagram post. Kim Kardashian is known for a clap back and an arrogant remark here and there, but lately there have been rumors saying that she’s only trying to be positive, and that she is embarrassed every time Kanye West goes on a rant. That makes us wonder if Kanye took Kim K’s phone last night. Two of the tweets definitely sound Kanyeish:

“Sorry I’m late to the party guys. I was busy cashing my 80 million video game check & transferring 53 million into our joint account.

“Hey @piersmorgan never offer to buy a married woman clothes. That’s on some ashley madison type sh*t. #Forresearch.”

Even Joe Budden commented saying that he believed that it was Kanye. What are your thoughts? At what point is Kim K going to stop getting naked for da gram?

2 Chainz Denies Getting Robbed!

Photo via 2 Chainz Instagram

What is going on in the A lately? Apparently there was a rumor going around about 2 Chainz getting robbed, and when the rumor reached 2 Chainz’s ears, the alleged source of the rumor was radio personality Big Tigger. 2 Chainz posted a video saying,

“Yo I just tried to called Big Tigger. Somebody @ Big Tigger and tell him to call my phone. Spreading rumors is a no no. You know we don’t f*ck with them rumors. Ain’t nobody robbed, touched me, done nothing. I’m in New York doing radio. RIP Bank.”

2 Chainz later revealed that he got in touch with Tigger, and Tigger said he wasn’t spreading rumors. He explained that he apologized to Big Tigger. He still ended the video saying “Aint nobody touch me.” Hmmm it makes you wonder. We wonder what the complete rumor was. 2 Chainz told a little bit of the rumor by saying he didn’t get touched or robbed. Was the rumor that he got robbed while doing his press run in NYC, or was the rumor that he got robbed when the unfortunate shoot out outside of his recording studio, that took Bankroll Fresh’s life, happened. Hmmmm. Either way, 2 Chainz is doing well and sends positive vibes to all.

Did Steph Curry Sneak Diss Soulja Boy’s Song Inspired By Him?

By: ClassicOneCategory: RumorsMarch 8, 2016

Steph Curry has been regarded as one of the greatest players and shooters in basketball lately. He has even left some of the other greatest players in total disbelief. Well it turns out he’s not only nice on the basketball court, he’s also nice with his apathy and sneak dissing. Curry was recently asked his opinion on Soulja Boy’s “Stephen Curry” song, he had an interesting response. He said,

“I’ll reserve judgment on that one. He had my jersey on; the video is pretty interesting. The song has my name in it A LOT. It’s not on my playlist though.”

The song isn’t on Steph’ playlist because it’s trash lol! Steph was so polite with his response.
