REVIEW & STREAM: Torae’s Entitled Proves New York Rap Is Very Alive

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Category: Reviews

torae-entitled1(AllHipHop Reviews) There has been considerable debate about the New York Hip-Hop scene and the arguable degrees of relevance. Folks like J. Cole and Kendrick are present the game with lyrics. The South continues to be dominant with style, swag and party songs. Then, other regions like Canada offer mighty forces like Drake. The gods of New York such Diddy, Jay and 50 Cent don’t have the same foothold on in the culture as they once had, even though their business is on point.

Enter Torae’s Entitled.

Tor’s bringing that which people claim to want. Lyrics. Check. Beats. Check. Chutzpah. Check. The New York native speaks on it on “Get Down.” “Been a minute, the city back on its sh*t again / Let me find out they checking for who can spit again / While y’all was out there leaning and getting crunk / Being bout it and turning up / I ain’t never stop with the pen and dig.” And thus, the tone is set.

Torae holds nothing back and unloads a full clip.

He brings Saul Williams on “Imperial Sound,” Phonte on “Clap Sh*t Up,” Mack Wilds on “Troubled Times” and even lyrical super heroes like Pharoahe Monch on “What’s Love?.” The pleasant surprise is “Crown,” the duet with 3D Na’Tee. The New Orleans fem fatale and the New York boom bapper exchange socially conscious bars in the guise of battle raps. There are other times where Entitled expands Tor’s range with the lovey-dovey “Override,” where he attempts – with limited results – to resurrect “the ’95 LL.”

Entitled is a truly enjoyable work. It is refreshing to hear lyrics and bars, beats and rhymes and Hip-Hop that has something to say beyond the party-drenched faux-reality drivel we’ve been subjected to. Furthermore, hearing New York – the one-time center of Hip-Hop culture – feeling like NEW YORK again is a pleasure. Hopefully, the people, the companies and the web sites support the art.

By: Camille Jay (@CamilleJay_) Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) It seems like DJ Khaled is living the life right now, the successful way.  He went from DJ to motivational speaker in a matter of snaps and now he can add principal of a middle school to the list.

The Twittersphere went crazy in support for Khaled after the Miami Dade county school system tweeted that Khaled would be calling the shots for the day.

Aside from delivering the hottest morning announcements in the history of Carol City Middle School, Khaled performed a special version of All I Do is Win in a schoolwide assembly and sat for a live interview. In obvious Khaled fashion, he dropped some major keys to success on the youngsters.

As principal, Khaled made major upgrades in the cafeteria.  He got rid of the school’s normal lunch and served free food from his own restaurant Finga Licking.  He also rewarded students for their high attendance rate with 10 grand for the music program.

Khaled’s appearance was made possible by the Get Schooled program in which they enlist artists to help to encourage students to pursue higher education.

The day ended with principal and Snapchat King Khaled gifted a key to the city.

CLAPBACKSEASON! BET Savagely Comes Back On Stacey Dash

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Category: Trending

(AllHipHop News) BET claps up Stacey Dash like a Jay Z video.

When did Stacey Dash become such a d#####? Here is what she said:


The Clueless actress did not mince any words. When speaking on the Oscars she matter-of-factly stated, “We have to make up our minds. “Either we want to have segregation or integration.” That blunt assertion was the segue into Dash diplomatically sharing her stance on the need for channels like B.E.T. that celebrate African-American heritage.

She continued, “And if we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re Black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard.”

She should have put a target on her back, because BET was in full #clapback mode today. Peep what they said:

For a corporate entity to buck at somebody like that is pretty impressive to me.

Stacey should just sit down somewhere. She is more than an actress that played a human in “Clueless” – she’s like just clueless. Maybe human.

AllHipHop.com spoke with Vs over the phone, and the New Orleans native explained why he and C-Murder felt the need to call out 2 Chainz over his use of the T.R.U. tag. According to Vs, he met 2 Chainz in Louisiana years ago, and the Based on a T.R.U. Story album creator apparently expressed he was a fan of C-Murder and his brand.

“I never seen him with nothing T.R.U. on, but I did pay attention to the way he was all goo-goo eyed at the logo. Our logo has a certain appeal to it. I seen it in his eyes,” says Vs. “It seemed like right after Corey went to jail on that last time he got convicted [2 Chainz] looked at C-Murder with that life situation as an early retirement, and he thought he could run with it.”

TRU-Bossalinie Records Artist Vs

Vs and C-Murder apparently reached out to 2 Chainz, but they felt the Def Jam recording artist ignored their complaints about him biting the T.R.U. logo. While Chainz and Miller have spoken about the situation since the release of “2 Stainz,” Vs warns that matter is not necessarily settled completely.

“I just hope he stays under the radar, and he’s as solid as he says he was on the phone. And he don’t try and go out there and make himself look big and start slick dissing,” states Vs. “That’s only gonna put him in another situation, because right now we got off his ass just on grounds that it came out of his mouth that he didn’t really feel that way and wasn’t really trying to steal it. For all the fans out there, that’s what they need to know. He wasn’t cutting up on the phone. He was talking real f*cking nice.”

Vs adds, “We ain’t even gonna dwell on the situation no more. Unless he does something weird to try and make himself look good. Then he ain’t gonna be able to come back from that, and we ain’t gonna give a f*ck.”

Safaree recently went on a Twitter rant, and one can’t help but to wonder who he is talking about. Safaree said he’s been playing the nice guy for far too long, and people don’t respect the humble guys. He feels that if he starts making noise to get people to realize he isn’t playing anymore then they will trip. Apparently someone has been threatening Safaree as well as he tweeted,

“It’s funny how ppl w/money don’t have the balls to handle sh*t themselves but wanna have n*ggas calling n threatening me..Grow the f*ck up.”

Safaree also says,

“It ain’t about fixing sh*t don’t muthaf*cking hit me bout sh*t! I’m smart I don’t fight stupidity. I’ll leave that up 2 the ignorant n*ggas.”

Who is Safaree talking about? Could it be Nicki Minaj? He said it’s not about fixing things, but he also said he feels she still needs to pay up and give him his credit. We wonder who is communicating threats to Safaree. Hmmm.

The conversation covered contentious topics like the Oscar nominations, the necessity of Black History month, and the suggestion to remove BET from the air.

[ALSO READ: Stacey Dash: My Cousin Dame Dash Told Me To Keep My Mouth Shut On Conservative Views]

The Clueless actress did not mince any words. When speaking on the Oscars she matter-of-factly stated, “We have to make up our minds. “Either we want to have segregation or integration.” That blunt assertion was the segue into Dash diplomatically sharing her stance on the need for channels like B.E.T. that celebrate African-American heritage.

She continued, “And if we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re Black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard.”

As the convo continued Dash would then challenge the need for Black History Month. “Just like there shouldn’t be a Black History Month. You know? We’re Americans. Period. That’s it,” she stated.

That’s not all. After the host, Steve Doocy, asked Dash to confirm that she wants BET axed, she added that Black History Month should go down with it. Soon Doocy would reinforce her stance when he questioned, “Are you saying there shouldn’t be a Black History Month because there isn’t a white history month?”

“Exactly. Exactly,” was Stacey’s stringent reply.

Do you agree with Stacey’s startling perspective?

Bad Bars: FL Rapper Arrested After Giving Cops Mixtape As ID?

Last week (Jan. 13), an aspiring Florida rapper was taken to the slammer. The Palm Beach County School District Police arrested Volvique Louis Jean Jr, on suspicion of reckless driving, this according to the Sun Sentinel. Police reports reflect that Jean Jr’s vehicle was stopped after it was reportedly witnessed speeding into the bus loop at Atlantic Community High School.

Volvique is a former student from that high school. Officers contend that Louis’ vehicle was being followed by two other erratically driving cars, which almost smashed into students. Employing a top flight golf cart, some astute officers forced Louis’ car to pull over. Soon a copper would request Jean Jr’s identification. Facing the pressing situation — Louis who was driving with a suspended license — decided to present his mixtape to the officer.

Next, it has been proclaimed that Louis turned into Speed Racer and zoomed away from the scene! Jean Jr., was eventually arrested on that same day. He was charged with trespassing on school grounds, driving on a suspended license, eluding, and reckless driving. Luckily, Louis was released from jail on the same day of his arrest.

So far, the rap name on the mixtape has not been released. Was this an intricately choreographed publicity stunt?
