‘Project Runway’ Star Tim Gunn Blasts Kanye West’s Fashion Line & The Kardashian Family (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) It is pretty clear Tim Gunn is not a fan of Kanye West’s Yeezy Season apparel. The Project Runway mentor and former Parsons The New School for Design faculty member shared his disinterest in the collection during a sit down with HuffPost Live.

“I think they’re a bunch of dumb clothes – just basic pieces,” said Gunn about Ye’s fashion line. “He won’t [like that I said that], but the whole Kardashian clan doesn’t like me, so no surprise there.”

Gunn did not hold back on Kanye’s in-laws either. When asked about rising model Kendall Jenner – Kim Kardashian West’s half-sister – the reality television star brushed off the idea of Jenner being the next “it girl” in the fashion world.

“I think absolutely nothing [of her], to be honest,” stated Gunn. “And I’m assuming there’s a huge, perhaps million-dollars-a-month publicity wagon that is pulling these girls along and creating these lives for them. I’m distrustful of it, and I find it all distasteful.”

He continued, “[Kendall Jenner] may be a perfectly lovely young woman. I just feel that she’s tainted by the Kardashian aura of yuck.”

Pras Talks Lack Of Progress In Haiti & Why He Didn’t Support Wyclef For President (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Founding Fugees member Pras Michel was in New York City to screen the documentary Sweet Micky For President at the Crosby Street Hotel.

At one point during a Q&A at the event, Pras responded to a commenter in the audience on the lack of progress in Haiti under President Martelly. The Grammy-winning rapper expressed not being content with the current living conditions in the Caribbean nation. Pras also discussed his decision to endorse Martelly instead of fellow Fugees member Wyclef Jean.

“I’m not here to bash Haiti, but I’m going to be honest with you. The same way I supported Michel 1 million percent – I supported Michel not because it was Michel. I supported him for the people,” stated Pras. “The reason I didn’t back Wyclef is because I’d rather lose one friend and save 15 million Haitians, than to lose 15 million Haitians and gain one friend. That’s my philosophy.”

In 2010, Wyclef filed papers to run for the presidency in Haiti. His bid for candidacy was rejected by the Provisional Electoral Council, because it was determined he did not meet the residency requirement. Martelly was sworn in as Haiti’s President in May 2011.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Meek Mill’s 2015 has been full of feuds with other rappers. There was Joe Budden, then Drake, and even fellow MMG member Wale. The Philadelphia native seemed to use a snippet of Phat Geez’s “Bloodline” to express his own thoughts about the recent conflicts with his Hip Hop rivals.

A video added to Meek’s Instagram page shows the “Tupac Back” rhymer playing “Bloodline.” The clip opens at the point in the song where a 2Pac sample is located.

Pac says, “Why everybody else can have a war, have beef within the music – talk about differences, and it’s okay, it’s music, it’s Hip Hop, it’s groundbreaking? When I do it, it’s war.”

Meek has become known for using social media to get a point across to his foes. Was this his way of questioning the public’s reaction to the clashes with other artists?

Kendrick Lamar Discusses The Importance Of ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ For Himself & His Fans (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar recently became the center of attention in the blogosphere and social media once again. The TDE emcee’s latest critically acclaimed album To Pimp A Butterfly was the subject of an editorial on Complex titled “Why Did Everyone Claim to Enjoy Kendrick Lamar’s ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’?” The article was heavily criticized because the author seemed to downplay TPAB‘s “overwhelming blackness” and use of jazz elements.

K. Dot held his first show of the “Kunta’s Groove Sessions” tour the night before the Complex piece was published. He used the intimate setting of New York City’s Terminal 5 to speak to his fans about the reasoning behind taking To Pimp A Butterfly in a different direction with its content and soundscape. Video of Lamar’s address to the audience has now been uploaded to YouTube.

“People have said a lot about this album. They said ‘album of the year.’ They said ‘album of this generation,'” stated Kendrick. “That’s cool. But making this motherf*cking album was therapy. Not only for you, but for me.”

He added, “Y’all allowed this motherf*cking album to soar all the way to the top with no commercial success. Y’all allowed it to be top tier without a constant radio single. So that proves to you right there music is not something you can market all the time. This sh*t belongs to you and you only.”

Black Students are Not Okay With Racial Tension at University of Missouri

By: Vance BrinkleyCategory: News

If you happened to pay attention to Twitter this weekend, there’s a good chance that you’ve seen some of the protests going on at the University of Missouri. According to the Washington Post, students have been protesting on campus in order to see Mizzou’s president, Tim Wolfe, step down. Quads were swarmed with protests after Wolfe declined to responded to the racial tension brewing between students. One of the situations, according to the report, included a s####### being hand drawn, in human feces, on the side of one of the university’s college dorms.

When all of the Black players for Mizzou’s football team refuse to play (and the coaching staff is cool with it), you know there’s a problem.

Like several #BlackLivesMatter protests around the country, there were those individuals who ignorantly responded to the students’ efforts.

This is the sad truth. My mother needs rehab not money. Wendy Williams does not know what goes on in our house but I know because I live there with her. No kid will want to say this about their own mom but I love her enough to not hide the truth anymore. I hope she gets help and not have all of these fake friends and boyfriends come around her now that think she has money, celebrate and party in the house where my father pays all the bills and allow these lawyers to manipulate her and sue her own son. This is my harsh reality.

By: Vance BrinkleyCategory: Music

You would think that after releasing 2 popular projects and being featured on a ton of songs this year that Future would take a break, right?

Like many reggaetone songs, this new song contains a beat very familiar to songs like “Gasoline,” but the difference is this track features a trap-like beat that Future raps over. Future still speaks in English though, so surprises.
