Future & Drake’s “What A Time To Be Alive” First Week Sales Predictions Drop

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Early estimates of Drake and Future’s What A Time To Be Alive had the joint mixtape pushing over 500,000 copies first week. According to HitsDailyDouble, that number has dropped significantly.

The music industry website is now predicting WATTBA will move between 340,000 – 360,000 units. That range should still be enough to land Future and Drake at number one on the album chart. It would also give the collaborative effort one of the best first week sales for a Hip Hop album in 2015.

However, 350,000 units sold could be viewed as a disappointment for Drake considering the Toronto native’s last retail mixtape, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, sold 495,000 copies in its first week. Future’s most recent album, DS2, opened with 126,000 units sold.

The lower predicted sales could be the result of mixed reviews that are coming in for What A Time To Be Alive. The initial expectations were based on early sales as die-hard fans purchased the tape off iTunes as soon as it was released, but more casual listeners may have chosen not to purchase the project.

Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond Reportedly Set To Appeal Conviction

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) According to reports, convicted drug dealer James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond has filed an application for appeal. Apparently, the former CEO of Czar Entertainment latest legal actions were inspired by the “Smarter Sentencing Act” criminal justice reform bill currently moving through the U.S. Congress.

“We believe that there were serious problems with the manner in which Mr. Rosemond’s trial was conducted, and that the government failed to present sufficient evidence to secure a conviction,” stated Rosemond’s appellate lawyer Michael Rayfield.

Rosemond was convicted of drug trafficking, obstruction of justice, and other charges in 2012. He was sentenced to life in prison. The leader of the “Rosemond Organization” was sentenced to another life term earlier this year for participating in the murder of G-Unit associate Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher.

A documentary titled Unjust Justice is supposedly in the works. Also, the Twitter account @Jimmy_Rosemond and the website JimmyHenchman.info have been set up to provide upcoming news about Rosemond.

Blogger Claims Karrueche Has Been Passed Around The Industry

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

A blogger recently upset Karrueche when they stated that her p*ssy had circulated the industry after Rob Kardashian posted a picture of her with the caption,

“I love when she sends me pictures.”

Unfortunately Rob Kardashian has been a little unstable in these last few years, so it seems like he wanted the attention and got it. He had to know what kind of response he would get. Karrueche and Rob responded by denying the dating or hooking up rumors, as they explained that they knew each other since high school. We’d love to know who Karrueche is secretly creeping with, and we still wonder if she was really taking those trips to Toronto to see Drake.

Mickey Factz: Drake I Heard You Need A Ghostwriter, Hit Me Up (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) It seems Aubrey Drake Graham will not be able to shake the ghostwriting tag any time soon. Yet another emcee keeps the story going. This time it was New York City rhymer Mickey Factz.

The Y-3 mixtape creator stopped by Sway In The Morning, and he started his visit off by participating in Sway’s “5 Fingers of Death.” Factz ended a nearly 11-minute rap with a message for Drake.

“Aubrey, I heard you need a ghostwriter. Hit me up man, if you want some more fire,” spit Mickey.

Later in the interview, Factz talked about connecting with Drake before he reached superstar status. The two rappers teamed with Travis McCoy for the track “Overdose.”

“I was a fan of Drake before he was popular. I would go on his Myspace page, and he had a record up there with Trey Songz and Pusha T,” explained Mickey. “I reached out to him , and said ‘Yo, we need to work.'”

According to Factz, he and Drizzy worked on other music together that did not make it onto So Far Gone. Apparently they lost contact after Drake signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money.

Mickey stated he’s not bitter about his current career situation. He told Sway he just wants to be mentioned among great lyricists such as Elzhi, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Kxng Crooked, and Rakim.

Nick Grant Ft. Chyhi The Prynce – “Royalty”

By: Scooby Wilson (@mcscoobins)Category: Music

Nick Grant grew up on a well-balanced diet of Nas, Outkast & Mobb Deep. Therefore his music is heavy on lyricism, clever wordplay & introspective content. Entertainment mogul Jason Geter quickly signed Nick to his Culture Republic imprint after the MC’s brother passed Geter a cd. “Royalty” features Chyhi The Prynce, where both rappers flow eloquently over a soulful, old-school Damon Thomas beat (Beats In My Backpack). The track is classic hip-hop & speaks of loyalty, kings, crowns & such.

Meek Mill Says He Doesn’t Regret Calling Out Drake For Using A “Ghostwriter”

(AllHipHop News) Even after he got hit with back-to-back response tracks, even after he became the butt of numerous jokes, even after the phrase “Twitter fingers” has joined the Hip Hop lexicon, Meek Mill does not regret calling out Drake for using a “ghostwriter” on his “R.I.C.O.” verse.

In an interview with GQ, Meek let it be known he still does not have any concerns about taking aim at Drizzy back in July. Mark Anthony Green asked the Philadelphia rapper and his girlfriend Nicki Minaj if they regretted their respective social media rants this summer (Minaj criticized MTV for not nominating “Anaconda” for Video Of The Year).

“I’m very happy I tweeted about the VMAs, because ‘Anaconda’ had too much of a cultural impact to not be up,” replied Nicki. “When these pop girls have a moment like that, they get nominated for every award, and they win it. And I was happy that people spoke out for me. People used their voices in the media to say this is true.”

She added, “[Meek and I are] doing so well now collectively. And I want to thank God and my fans. And his fans. We don’t have to do anything to anyone for any bogus reasons.”

Meek then offered his own 10 word overly self-confident response, “And of course you know Meek Mill don’t regret nothing.”
