(AllHipHop News) Pitbull is going to be “Messin’ Around” on Hollywood Boulevard next week when he unveils his Walk of Fame star.

The rapper will unveil his plaque, the 2,584th star, on July 15 in Celia Cruz Square.

Motivational speaker Tony Robbins and music industry veteran and entrepreneur Luther Campbell will be among those saluting the hitmaker.

A spokesman for the Walk of Fame tells said:

“From landing number one hits in over 15 countries, nine billion YouTube/VEVO views, 70 million single sales, and six million album sales, Pitbull is unstoppable. His relentless work ethic transformed him into a Grammy-winning international superstar, visionary entrepreneur, fashionista, and successful actor. His social media presence speaks to nearly 90 million people daily.

Outside of entertainment, Pitbull is making history as an entrepreneur.

Whether it’s his Voli Vodka, fragrance line Pitbull, or the high-profile partnerships with brands from Bud Light, Dr. Pepper and Dodge, his influence has catapulted.

50 Cent Shares His Thoughts On Bobby Shmurda, Desiigner & Tupac Shakur

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent is preparing to return to Starz when season 3 of his popular series Power debuts on July 17. As he continues his run on TV, the multi-platinum selling rap artist is still keeping his ear to what’s happening in the music realm as well.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, 50 spoke about the quick success of fellow New York rappers Bobby Shmurda and Desiigner.

Both Brooklyn representatives broke out with high charting singles [Shmurda’s “Hot N-gga” and Desiigner’s “Panda”], but they were unable to follow up that success with another hit so far.

“Bobby had a great record. That song is a great record,” stated 50. “A lot of times when an artist receives an opportunity too fast, like Desiigner and ‘I got broads in Atlanta,’ you haven’t heard another song yet. You see what I’m sayin’? So you get a No. 1 record and you think, well, how do I do this again?”

While the G-Unit leader contemplated the potential “one hit wonder” tag being placed on the two young rhymers, he also praised a certified Hip Hop legend. 50 shared his thoughts on Tupac Shakur’s transition from Baltimore School for the Arts pupil to creator of songs such as “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” “Hit ‘Em Up,” and “Thug 4 Life.”

“[2Pac] almost never stopped playing Bishop after Juice, you know what I’m saying?” said 50. “It’s when that ‘thug life’ energy came out and started to evolve into a persona. He’s way better than people saw him as. He’s way better. That’s an art student right there and thuggin’ is his theme. He was so much more advanced than anyone will ever know.”

David Banner Issues Open Treatise On Police and The Black Community

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: Features

Activist David Banner is angry over the murder of Alton Sterling, who was shot five times and killed by the Baton Rouge police on July 6.

Less than 24 hours later, a police officer shot and killed 32-year-old Philando Castile as he reached for his registration.

“As we all knew that it would, it has happened again,” stated Banner as he opens his treatise “Police & the Black Community: History, Reality & the Rudiments for Change.”

Banner delves into many topics as it relates to the deteriorating relationship between police and the black communities they serve.

Police as Tools of the Wealthy
“In these actions, we clearly see that today’s police, much like their 19th and 20th-century counterparts, still serve as protectors of the wealthy and oppressors of the people.”

The “War on Cops” That Wasn’t
“Let’s just say it outright…statistically speaking, being a cop IS NOT a dangerous occupation. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, being a cop doesn’t even make the Top 10 of most dangerous jobs in America. Surprisingly, it’s more dangerous being a farmer, a garbage collector or a fisherman than it is being a cop! But let’s look deeper into police fatalities that do actually occur. Those numbers may also be surprising.”

Law Enforcement’s “War on Blacks”
“…even if Black criminality had risen (instead of drastically dropping), and even if the “War on Cops” myth were true, that STILL doesn’t justify the disproportionate number of Blacks being killed by cops. Why? Because as we’ve come to find out, the group most responsible for murdering cops is white males.”

Law Enforcement: Return to Its Foundation
In 1829, Sir Robert Peel created the London Metropolitan Police, widely viewed as the world’s first modern police department. As the “father” of modern policing, Peel was adamant that a properly functioning police force must be deemed credible and legitimate in the eyes of the public it served. To this end, he developed nine principles that, if followed, would foster the respect and dignity sought by the community and the police alike.

“Simply returning to these foundational principles would go a long way in addressing and correcting many of the missteps that police make when dealing with Black people. And, by adhering to these principles, principles that mandate recognition and respect, police may very well engender a public trust in them that the Black community has never had.”

Black Community: Police Our Own Communities
“Policing our own communities can take various forms. One approach is for citizens to simply take their communities back…and by ‘policing’ I’m referring to a comprehensive approach to better the conditions of our environments.”

Queens Rapper Grafh Drops New Video For Single “Trap Phone Ringin”

(AllHipHop News) Queens-bred rapper Grafh drops a gritty new visual for his summer single “Trap Phone Ringin,” produced by Freeze On Da Beat, off of his current project Painkillers Reloaded.

The new video, directed by MaxxWayne and Nyjee Evans, shows a glimpse of the dark side of the “trap” lifestyle as portrayed by the East Coast artist.

“The world is numb. You are distracted and detached from everything all day. You’re programmed not to feel, to never truly experience anything. Painkillers normally numb the pain, but you’re already numb. I just want you to take this and feel again,” Grafh explained to AllHipHop.com.

His business partner Maxx Wayne turned that idea into the concept for his new video “Trap Phone Ringin.”

We suggest you read the plot before looking at the video:

In order to restore the feeling in his city, the scientist in the video creates a pill out of a chemical potion and Grafh’s blood. Grafh and MaxxWayne then distribute the gold pills to their squad to hit the streets with. The gold pills are a reflection of the music and the feeling that’s missing from the game.

“We’re just here to restore the feeling again,” Grafh says. Pain Killers: Reloaded is out now.

Grafh just came off of The Layers tour with Royce Da 5’9 and is now focused on a new tape with his Team Bang Dope Gang squad.

Killer Mike Calls On Democrats To Do More To Stop Police Violence Against African-Americans

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta emcee Killer Mike is one of the most outspoken rap stars on the subject of police brutality and racial injustice. In recent years, the Run The Jewels member has appeared on CNN, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and The Tavis Smiley Show to discuss issues such as systemic racism.

In the wake of the police shooting that left 37-year-old Alton Sterling dead, Mike has turned his attention to the Democratic Party’s lack of response to the continuously growing number of African-Americans killed by law enforcement.

Mike attended a town hall meeting that was scheduled to discuss the Democrats’ national platform. The Bernie Sanders supporter used the opportunity to chastise the party for not doing more to help African-American voters, including providing better educational/vocational opportunities and confronting police violence.

“African-Americans have given a lot to the Democratic Party,” said Mike. “Blood, sweat and tears, and all too often nothing is given back but a pat on the back. The Democratic Party has abandoned African-American men.”

Mike’s comments also included a complaint often heard from many activists and concerned citizens – Why aren’t more “good” police officers speaking out against the “bad” police officers?

“You execute a human being who is a citizen of this country you should be prosecuted. Why isn’t the hell a police officer saying this cop is wrong?” Mike asked.

Video of Hot 97 radio personality Peter Rosenberg yelling at a cop that called into the station went viral this week. Rosenberg also took issue with police refusing to admit that some of their fellow officers do not do their jobs well.

EXCLUSIVE: Kemba (YC The Cynic) Talks “The New Black Theory”, Respectability Politics & The Killing Of Alton Sterling

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) Reports of police brutality and racial injustice have become far too commonplace in the America. Just this week, a Baton Rouge cop killed Alton Sterling as the 37-year-old father of five was pinned to the ground.

The case has drawn widespread criticism of the officers’ conduct, and Louisiana Governor John Bel Edward has called on the U.S. Justice Department to open a civil rights investigation into the shooting.

Just days before Sterling’s tragic death by a police officer, New York rapper Kemba released the video for “The New Black Theory.”

The nearly 4 minute clip addresses the influence of the news media, the idea of respectability politics, and the numerous examples of African-Americans losing their lives at the hands of cops.

“The video is about how the news affects how people see us and how we see ourselves, in juxtaposition with how we’re actually being treated,” Kemba (formerly known as YC the Cynic) tells AllHipHop.com. “We get messages everyday from the news criticizing how we dress, speak and behave, but being more respectable often means being more European, and even that doesn’t stop us from being killed by police.”

The Frank Drake-produced track off the forthcoming Negus album incorporates a sample from the 2Pac classic “Dear Mama.” The song’s visuals features Geraldo Rivera’s controversial comments about how the hoodie worn by Trayvon Martin was partly to blame for him being killed by George Zimmerman in 2012.

Since Martin’s death, the names of numerous other African-Americans citizens have unfortunately become hashtags on social media after they each lost their lives because of encounters with law enforcement.

As a result, the Black Lives Matter movement has fought to achieve justice for Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Philando Castile, and other victims of police violence.

Alton Sterling has now been added to that list of individuals. Kemba’s “The New Black Theory” was created prior to the Sterling shooting, but the message of the record still resonates with the latest tragic story.

“The video relates to Alton Sterling at the very core, because he was wrongly and fatally brutalized by the police,” says the 25-year-old Bronx emcee.

Kemba’s Negus is scheduled for release via all digital platforms on July 22.

(AllHipHop News) Another day, another death at the hands of a police officer. As a large part of the nation is still in pain over the shooting of Alton Sterling, reports are now circulating of yet another African-American man being killed by a cop.

According to the Washington Post, Philando Castile died at a Minneapolis hospital on Wednesday. The 32-year-old victim was reportedly reaching for his wallet during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights when the officer fired into the vehicle.

Sterling’s girlfriend, Lavish Reynolds, began filming the situation moments after the driver was shot. She broadcast the aftermath live on Facebook.

“F-ck!” yelled the officer. “I told him not to reach for it.”

Reynolds responded, “You told him to get his i.d. sir, and his driver’s license. Oh my god, please don’t tell me he’s dead.”

Another video captured by a bystander after the shooting has made its way online as well.

The St. Anthony Police Department has confirmed Castile’s death, but officials did not identify the officer involved in the shooting. However, Reynolds suggested the cop was Asian.

It appears Reynolds’ daughter was present at the scene at the time of the shooting. The little girl can be heard saying, “It’s okay, Mommy. It’s okay. I’m right here with you.”

Members of the Hip Hop community have addressed the Philando Castile shooting on social media.

Long Beach rapper King Harris may be Jay Rock’s cousin, but he’s looking to make a name for himself outside of his family ties to the TDE rap star.

The Oxnard, Cali rapper teamed with Gangrene’s Oh No to create his debut album Nightmare On Wolff Street.

According to King Harris, his album is inspired by Snoop Dogg, The Game, who is featured on the new album, and the year 1988.

“Oxnard has always been a breeding ground for that sound that’s popular,” said King, noting this year’s successes from locals Madlib (The Life of Pablo) and Anderson .Paak (Malibu).

“When somebody from Oxnard gets on, that’s the little door, and then it turns into a big hole,” King Harris added.”

NAACP Legal Defense Fund Responds To Killing Of Alton Sterling; Second Video Emerges

Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) The tragic death of Alton Sterling is currently one of the most talked about situations across the nation.

Cellphone video of the 37-year-old being shot to death by a Baton Rouge, Louisiana police officer has many people asking questions, demanding justice, and calling for the resignation of the city’s mayor and police chief.

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund has now issued an official statement about the Sterling shooting.

“The officers’ actions in the death of Alton Sterling are profoundly disturbing,” says Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of LDF. “We cannot be numb to the relentless police-involved assaults and killings of people of color. Mr. Sterling’s death is horrific to witness and follows an increasingly long line of unjustified police shootings of civilians.”

Ifill adds, “We send our sincere condolences to his family, and join the call for a transparent investigation of the shooting, including the release of any surveillance, dash-cam, or police body-worn camera video.”

A second witness filmed video of the incident has become public. Abdullah Muflahi, the owner of the Triple S Food Mart where the shooting took place, provided the footage to The Daily Beast.

The latest video appears to show Sterling was not holding a gun at the time police shot him. Despite someone yelling about a gun in the video, police officials would not confirm or deny if a weapon was found on Sterling.

According to reports, there is also footage from the convenience store’s surveillance camera and the cop vehicles’ dash camera. However, the body cameras worn by the two officers at the scene allegedly fell off during the take down of Sterling.

The NAACP LDF plans to continue closely monitoring the situation in Baton Rouge and call for unbiased and responsible policing by advancing policies and practices that require:

* Annual collection, disaggregation, and public reporting of arrests; use-of-force; and pedestrian and traffic stop data;

*Training on implicit bias, de-escalation, use of force, adolescent development, and proper interactions with
persons with mental illness and other disabilities;

*Enforcement of these trainings through close monitoring of police conduct and the imposition of disciplinary actions or retraining; and

*Timely investigation and resolution of civilian complaints against police.

The two officers involved, Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II, have been placed on paid administrative leave. The shooting is now under investigation by the United States Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

LGBT Magazine Claps Back At Boosie Over Gay Comments

Boosie recently revealed that he is another rapper to express that he believes TV is forcing kids to be gay. Boosie believes if things don’t change soon, the vast majority of the population will be waving a rainbow flag. He sat down with DJ Vlad last month to discuss TV shows and their gay characters, accusing producers of pushing a gay agenda. Boosie even went as far as saying he doesn’t hate gays, but he would slap one of his kids back straight if they came out as gay.

Boosie also took offense with cartoon shows featuring gay characters and relationships as well. LGBT magazine, Advocate, pointed out that Hulu debuted Rosaline, (a feature-length animated fairy tale featuring a love story between two girls), and Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe featured the first lesbian animated couple, in a leading role.

Advocate also decided to clap back letting Boosie know that TV isn’t “turning” anyone gay. They also wanted Boosie to know that family rejection is one of the leading causes of LGBT youth being homeless. Advocate tells Boosie that while he tries to find a way to deal with a child that may identify as LGBT, LGBT advocates will continue to push for greater inclusion across all realms, even rap music. What are your thoughts?
