Alabama Basketball Coach Jams To Young Thug With Players

The SEC rivalry between the Alabama and the Auburn has been identified as one of the most fiercest rivalries in college sports. Whether the schools are competing on a football field or a basketball court, the main goal is to win for bragging rights until the next time the two clashes in the near future. Last night, the Crimson Tide’s basketball team came out victorious against Auburn 65-67. Following their win, the team was recorded in the locker rooming turning up to Young Thug’s radio hit “Best Friend,” and the head coach, Avery Johnson, showed up to celebrate as well.

Let’s hope we can actually see Thugga show up to a basketball game if they win an SEC title or a national, just like how Michigan State’s football team brought Rich Homie Quan to their Rose Bowl victory a couple years back.

Straight Outta Compton Could Have Won An Oscar If They Did This…

“Straight Outta Compton” was celebrated and beloved by most, but when it came down to the awards, the flick came up short. Well, had the script writers and creators taken a different route, they could have given the story of NWA a better chance.

For your consideration: He wasn’t afraid to take a chance, and became the most important figure in hip hop history. Two-time Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti (“Sideways”) stars in “Straight Out of Compton,” a biopic about hip-hop pioneer and N.W.A creator Jerry Heller, a courageous man who risked it all and sparked a music revolution.

Turk Seeks Fans Help To Relieve $5 Million Debt

(AllHipHop News) Turk is on the hook for $5 million debt and now hopes the public can help him out.

“Today I come to you for help because I am in a 5 million dollar debt and it’s getting hard trying to pay it off on top of everything else. There is no secret stash. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. This is what happens when a man faces his actions, does his time and returns home to live free,” Turk said. “The debt to society has been paid. The restitution has been paid. Now you want to go for broke and take from a man what he doesn’t have.”

Turk was incarcerated in 2004 until 2012, when he was released for a gun-related infraction. While he has paid his restitution for his crimes, he still must pay other debts to the tune of $5 million.

Recently, the Atlanta rapper released a new track on his Soundcloud, called “Wakapella.” Instead of adding a hard beat to fill in for his lyrics, Waka completely goes off the rift without one, showcasing mainly his bars and background ad-libs.

Now Kanye is back to Twitter again, this time to reveal the name of the upcoming LP, which for now is set as “Turbo Grafx 16.”  For those not familiar with Turbo Grafx-16, it’s a gaming system that was released back in the early 90’s.

Snoop Dogg Is Going To Court To Settle Case With Alcohol Company

(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg has managed to make his name universal brand both inside and outside of the studio. With the rapper’s legendary name in hip hop, several businesses have been interested in using it for their own benefits, sometimes without . One of those businesses happen to be Pabst Brewing Company, who’s being sued by Snoop for breach of contract.

According to XXL, Pabst offered Snoop a deal to be their brand ambassador for a new flavored malt-liquor line called Blast by Colt-45. Although the Snoop’s contract was supposed to last only three years regarding the terms of agreement, it also included a two-year period where the rapper could receive %10 of total profits if Blast by Colt 45 or the Colt 45 brand was sold to another company.

Snoop sued Pabst last year for breach of contact, and received the favor of the judge despite the alcohol company claiming that they owed him nothing for their actions.

The rapper will be in court in court this October to settle his case.

Kylie Jenner Calls Tyga A Pedophile? Uhhhmmmm….

I was under the impression that Tyga somehow managed to get out of the woods with this. I really goes to show you how they don’t care about Kylie. But that is another opinion for another time. The internets seriously exaggerated this one. It was so bad, TMZ took a story completely down. Basically Tyga and Kylie were playing kissy face or something and she responded to rumors that she was preggers and soon to be married. Tyga was asking her the questions. It went a little like this.

Tyga: Are you pregnant? I think we need to address that rumor because I feel like everybody thinks you’re pregnant.

Kylie: Because I’m a f***ing infant child and I don’t want to be married or have a baby right now!

INFANT?

After this, Tyga tries to clean it up stating that she was a “young woman that’s very focused” and his girlfriend insisted on calling herself a “baby.” Uhmmmmmm…Under the bus. I know she is 18 now, but she looks about 30. He’s 26, but acts 18. So, that’s her man and she isn’t a baby by any standard I can identify. A radio station recently ask Tyga how he deals with the age difference.

“I don’t know,” he told San Francisco radio station 106 KMEL. “It’s hard to talk about that because people are gonna bash. I didn’t understand it though because I’m like, ‘This person is a really good person.’”

I dunno, bud. Watch for the hook. That video has since been taken down.

Are Meek And Nicki Fighting? On The Verge Of Breaking Up?

Meek and Nicki Minaj may not be in the best space right now and its reportedly all over his legal status. They may be on the verge of breaking up, reports say. Meek apparently wants Nicki close as he goes through his 90-day house arrest in Philly. Basically, he wants her to live in the City of Brotherly Love for that period of time. She seems fed up and unwilling to contend with this demand, because she is fed up with Meek. Him getting in trouble has worn thin for her, it would seem. Nicki has not posted a pic of her and Meek on instagram in about 5 weeks. To me, that is saying something. At one point, it was nauseating. These, LOVE BIRDS! May be there is some truth in these rumors.

Which is it?


We will soon see. People fight. People reconcile. People break-up. Stuff happens. For Meek’s sake, I hope this doesn’t happens. The memes will be deadly.
