Not sure exactly what set Young Thug off, but the ATL rapper is not feeling The Breakfast Club. Thugger called the radio show “the devil” on Twitter. Maybe it’s because the Power 105 trio’s questions are often responsible for igniting – or reigniting – feuds in the game [see Game vs Thug, Meek Mill vs Wale].
Co-host Charlamagne Tha God saw Thug’s tweet and added his own response. CTG doesn’t seem to be too concerned about what Thugger had to say.

Corporate laws require that corporations be structured into classes of superiors and subordinates within a centralized pyramidal structure:

Chairman, directors, chief executive officer, VPs, division managers, and so on (based primarily on military models).

Unlike the freedoms of an entrepreneurial business, large company decision-making must pass through layer upon layer of management.

This makes the process of product development slow and ponderous.

For example, from the time a band is signed it can be a full year or longer before their first record is finally released owing —-

(AllHipHop News) For years, Cash Money Records has been accused of holding back money owed to its artists. Numerous lawsuits have been filed against the company for unpaid profits including one by the label’s premier act Lil Wayne.
There were reports Gillie Da Kid started beefing with Wayne and Cash Money boss Bryan “Birdman/Stunna” Williams after he left CMR because of issues over publishing. The self-described “King of Philly” sat down with Mikey T The Movie Star to discuss his current take on Weezy and Birdman.
“I ain’t got no issue with them n*ggas. I never really had no issue with them n*ggas like that,” said Gillie. “Wayne was like my little bro when I was on Cash Money. I understand real beef from artificial beef. That’s not beef, that’s rap sh*t.”
He added, “One thing I never accused Stunna of was not paying me mines. I ain’t never have that problem. N*gga don’t owe me nothing.”
Watch Gillie Da Kid’s interview below.

REVOLT TV kicked off the first day of the second annual 2015 REVOLT Music Conference (RMC) in a major way at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. Themed, “The Merging of Music, Technology and Innovation, “ the 2015 RMC allowed attendees to personally interact with leaders from both the music and technology industry, gain insight and knowledge from industry trailblazers, and enjoy exclusive musical performances.
Perhaps one of the major highlights of day 1 was the RMC concert headlined by Puff Daddy & The Family!. Diddy brought out quite a few surprise guests including Lil’ Wayne, Lil’ Kim, Busta Rhymes, French Montana, Los, and Christian Combs. Before Diddy performed his classic hits and rocked the stage with his new single “Workin’,” Dej Loaf, Jidenna, Ace Hood and Post Malone held it down on the stage as well. Puff Daddy & Friends ran through hits from “All About The Benjamins”, “Get Money”, “A Milli,” to “OchoCinco” and more. It was when they got to “Ochocinco” that Diddy really turned up. He even grabbed videographer J. Wright’s camera as he was filming for AllHipHop, and made an attempt to film himself during the performance on stage! Turn up Puff! Check out the video below.
BreadWinner Kane adds Kevin Gates & Tana to his single remix “While She Talkin,” for this dope boy friendly audio release. The track is produced by Zaytoven and features a ass slapping chorus and lazy stripper laden verses from Kane. The beat is reminiscent of some of Gucci’s better days and is likely to be a breakout track for Breadwinnter Kane who says he’s Kevin Gates brother on the track.
Compton’s AD comes with a Superstar Remix to his LA Street Anthem “Juice” bringing along fellow Compton MC The Game as well as Ty Dolla $ign, OT Genasis, Iamsu! and K Camp. Produced by League Of Starz.
With “Rolling Papers 2” on its way, Wiz Khalifa has been going super hard (pause) lately releasing new music and today Wiz drops two new tracks to hold the fans over. Listen to his Harry Fraud produced track “Just Because” & “Outsiders” produced by Big Jerm below.
Things have been quiet that past week or so after Tyga released like 10 consecutive visuals for his last project, F## Wat They Talkin Bout. With a beat the includes sounds in from the classic ice cream song you recall from your childhood, Tyga raps all about that soft serve cold goodness. You gotta love the Ben N Jerry’s shout out on his verse “I’m the Ice Cream Man / She Chunky Monkey.” This is about as street as ice cream gets unless you are familiar with Master P’s “Mr Ice Cream Man.” Which version do you like better? Comment below!
You may remember internet sensation, Jade Novah, from her popular “if Beyoncé did commercials” skit that had the media going crazy this summer, but did you know Jade can sing too? Long before Beyonce let us know that girls ran the world (duh), JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS were the original girl power movement. Now “Jade and the Holograms” have channeled their inner rock stars to empower young women to be creative and go for it!
The new JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS film offers millennials a fresh, modern take on the classic cartoon. With a new generation of teens who may not be so familiar with JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, Jade is delivering a lively performance that will offer excitement and connect a new audience to Jem’s unique story. Fans of the cartoon can appreciate that this film, although different from the original, will be a musical journey highlighting themes that are very prevalent for today’s young adults.
In anticipation of the new JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS film, hitting theaters this Friday, October 23rd, watch Jade’s original music video covering its title song “Youngblood.”
In case you missed her spot on Beyonce impersonation, check it out below.

(AllHipHop News) Nearly two decades ago, No Limit Records was one of the premier music companies in Hip Hop. Between 1998 and 1999, founder Master P had the label’s artists putting out projects on nearly a monthly basis. The constant releases and the highly publicized distribution deal with Priority Records made The Tank an appealing option for many performers.
Besides C-Murder, Silkk the Shocker, Mystikal, and Romeo, West Coast representative Snoop Dogg even signed with the New Orleans based label. According to Master P, other eventual Hall of Fame level rappers were interested in partnering with No Limit as well.
“Anybody you can think of called me for advice or thinking ‘What can I do to get with No Limit?’ From Eminem to T.I. to anybody you could think of, we done had that conversation where they wanted to be with No Limit,” P told HipHopDX. “It was a sad tragedy, but [2Pac] was trying to get is life together, thinking ‘What could I do?’ Same thing with Snoop. People started checking for us, because they knew we was making money. They knew we was printing money.”
Watch Master P’s interview below.
Rhymefest, Kanye West’s longtime songwriter, has recently opened up to The Daily Beast about the industry, being snubbed, and whether Yeezy has been writing all of those raps. It seems like Rhymefest is fed up! Rhymefest has Golden Globe, Grammy, and Oscar statuettes, however you never really see him onstage accepting these awards, and he’s hardly mentioned alongside these successful tracks. Rhymefest seems to suggest that he’s having financial problems as well as he stated,
“It does kind of bother me that I go to my friends’ $20 million houses, and last year I was trying to figure out how to pay my mortgage. It’s not their fault, totally. When you look at the way artists get paid now, streaming has decimated the income of the writer, so the writer doesn’t really have a career anymore. My ASCAP royalty checks went from a lot to almost nothing.”
Rumor has it that Rhymefest accepted a reduced contribution percentage on songs that he wrote on the front end, and he made a mistake by not viewing his songwriting as a business. Apparently a lot of his agreements were made on a friendship tip too!
He went on to say,
“I’ve written for all of Kanye’s albums with the exception of 808s & Heartbreak,” he says, adding, “There are a lot of songs that my name isn’t even on.”
Rhymefest seems to be looking to get his dues in all forms. Rhymefest also explains that he gave several songs to Ye because he had the clout and rapped better on the songs at the time, and he should get credit for that. Apparently he can’t help but to feel that Ye wouldn’t have had all of that (success) without his words. Interesting enough Kanye claimed that all of his lyrics off his first four albums were off the dome. He says he didn’t start writing anything down until ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.’ But were those all of Ye’s lyrics? What are your thoughts?

After Wale’s appearance on Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” morning show yesterday, Meek Mill took to Instagram to post an emotional tirade against his label mate. In turn the, “trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers”, rapper was given the honor of “Donkey of the Day” yet again. The hosts of the show then opened up the phone lines for callers to give their opinion on the issue. Unsurprisingly, no one agrees with Meek.

(AllHipHop News) We The Best head DJ Khaled has built a career off of combining different artists on a single track. Songs such as “We Takin’ Over,” “I’m On One,” and “They Don’t Love You No More” featured rappers like Lil Wayne, Birdman, Drake, and Meek Mill. But how does Khaled handle it when his regular collaborators are feuding in public?
The Breakfast Club asked Khaled that very question. The creator of the upcoming I Changed A Lot album explained why he remains neutral in the beefs.
“From the beginning of me coming in the game, I’ve always promoted unity by my records. If it becomes a situation where it gets a lot of heat involved, I’ll be the guy trying to resolve it. You’ll never hear me on both sides diss somebody. I don’t do that. I show love to both sides,” said Khaled. “Y’all are amazing artists. I don’t want to see none of this. If it goes down, it’s the game. It’s Hip Hop. It’s part of what we do.”
Watch DJ Khaled’s interview below.
