A pretty disappointing video of boxer Adrien Broner throwing money in a Wal-mart recently spread across the net. Whether it was a joke or not, most were disgusted by his childish and arrogant behavior. A cashier was giving Broner his change, and Broner threw the money up in the air after saying,
“He must not know. I’m AB I don’t need no change bruh.”
Maino wasn’t here for the BS as he posted,
“US unemployment sky high and n*ggaz throwing money in front of working folks waiting in line at a Walmart??? Smh me and @UncleMurda getting tired of you n*ggas! #Pu$$y #YellowTape #Brooklyn #KingKong&Godzilla ? @thisisazonevisual | @datnatikid”
Apparently Maino is tired of you “pssy nggas” and plans to release some new music with Uncle Murda about his frustration.
It looks like Universal may have “whitewashed” some of it’s trailers of ‘Straight Outta Compton’ in an attempt to appeal to the masses. At a SxSW panel, Doug Neil, Universal’s executive vice president of digital marketing, revealed that different people watched different trailers of the movie on Facebook. According to the website Business Insider, Non-blacks and Non-hispanics saw trailers that did not mention anything about N.W.A., but instead watched cuts that only made mention of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube’s success in their careers.
However, a Spokesperson from Facebook spoke out against Neil’s admission and claim by saying,
“Several news outlets have stated that Facebook allows advertisers to target ads based on race. That is not accurate. Facebook does not have a capability for people to self-identify by race or ethnicity on the platform. As part of its advertising offering, brands can target ads on Facebook to people based on how they might respond to content. The affinity segments are created, in a privacy-safe way, using signals such as different languages, likes, and group membership on the platform.”
What effect do you think the different trailers had on the film’s success and Oscar snubs?
Justin Timberlake seems to have taken a little musical break from the scene since the release of his ‘The 20/20 Experience’ album in 2013. It looks like the singer may be making a return to music with the help of Pharrell. He and Pharrell posted about being in the studio together to let us know they were cooking up something. Timberlake posted a photo of the two with the caption,
“Currently…”
Then Pharrell followed by saying,
“There will be no snap chapping (Snap-chatting), no insta-bamming (Insta-gramming) and no swittering (Twittering).”
Are you interested in hearing new music from these two?
Back in 2012, J Prince Jr., son of Rap-A-Lot founder and CEO J Prince, sued Drake’s management team for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, in what totaled 10 claims against Cortez Bryant and his business associates who also had rumored run in with J Prince Jr. as well.
In the lawsuit, J Prince Jr. alleged that Bryant and Drake verbally agreed to pay J Prince Jr. a portion of the profits earned.
Things seem to much better though now as you can see in the video below and by Drakes caption on his Instagram post, “Prince Family Photo ??????”
While the real impact of a Drake ghostwriter is questionable and likely depends on each listener, in a recent interview with VladTVRoyce da 5’9” revealed he was “surprised” at the Hip-Hop world’s reaction.
In addition to that, he said that he no longer considered Drake as a top-tier lyricist after he heard word of Quentin’s role in the OVO songwriting process.
“Hip-hop is evolving a little slower than the other genres. If this is what it’s evolving into, as an OG I accept it, but I don’t choose to write like that,” Royce da 5’9” explained to VladTV.
In breaking down his thoughts, Royce said the crux of the argument lies in his definition of a lyricist.
“I think automatically the rules do have to change a little bit when you are talking about ranking these artists and where they stand as far as best lyricist. You still got to put him in there as the best artist, you are still a great artist by pulling the songs together that way. You can’t take that away from him, but when you talk about best lyricist, I guess it comes down to what being a lyricist is to you. What is a lyricist to you?,” Royce said.
“To me a lyricist is a writer, the word lyricist and writing go hand in hand to me. So you automatically can’t be a top-tier lyricist if you not writing everything. You gotta write everything to be a top-tier lyricist in my book.” Royce said. “I’m not going to compare you to Rakim. I’ll call you the greatest of this era, but I won’t say you better than Rakim, and I won’t say you better than Kendrick, and I won’t say you better than Cole – as a lyricist”
When you got it like that, you can spend it like that and have no worries. Thats basically the lituation with Drake and Rich Homie as the two rappers blow cash in the strip club. Drake can be seen flashing a huge wad of cash while Rich Homie handles the camera work showing money on the floor and his friends celebrating a birthday for June.
(AllHipHop News) The late, great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated, “Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Rich Homie Quan seems to share a similar philosophy.
Young Thug recently took aim at his former Rich Gang cohort stating, “Hey…f**k Rich Homie!” right before playing their hit song “Lifestyle.” The song is their biggest hit thus far.
Rich Homie has not returned the negative sentiments. In a recent instagram post he raps, “I had to separate myself from Rich Gang/ No disrespect to Birdman…”Thugga Thugga still my Best Friend, Best Friend, Best Friend…”
Rich Homie restated his views in the caption on the post, saying “@thuggerthugger1 u can say f### me all u want to u still my BESTFRIEND,”

Plenty of New York rappers have offered a lyrical tour of their city, but few have done it so potently as Big Twins and Prodigy on “The Rotten Apple.” As the title implies, it isn’t some glitzy, high-brow view of this particular concrete jungle. But there’s a certain pride to overcoming the seedy, grotesque elements of a place that “forces the best out of you or forces you to fold up.”
The track serves as the second single off Big Twins’ joint album with L.A. producer Twiz The Beat Pro, who provides a fittingly filthy instrumental for his rapping counterparts. Check out this Prodigy line below where he compares himself to Freddy Krueger, CLASSIC!
“P. Krueger/ who’ll stalk you in your sleep like Freddy/ Plus I see you in real life, your legs turn spaghetti.” – Prodigy

It must be hard leaving the limelight of competitive sports, because Roy Jones, Jr. simply won’t go. Now, after a recent knockout loss, most experts expected the former Best Pound-For-Pound fighter to retire, but he didn’t. Instead, Jones essentially beat up a fan for 100k in a strange bout. Why? Jones gave the man, who is apparently an MMA fighter, the opportunity to win $100k if he could beat the former champ. Needless to say, he didn’t last two rounds.
Jones, 47, suffered a devastating loss to Enzo Maccarinelli in December.
(AllHipHop News) The real estate market has gone flat and Lil Wayne is following suit, by dropping the sale price of his Miami mansion by a total of $4 million dollars.
Lil Wayne has cut the offering price several times since the home went up for sale in April of 2015 for $18 million. After dropping the price several times since, the house is now being offered at $14 million, nearly $4 million off the original asking price.
A lucky buyer will get a mansion with a glass elevator, a skatepark on the roof and a home that has a few million dollars worth of remodeling.
“The market is flat,” Ty Forkner, the listing agent told The Miami Herald. “Priced at under $1,000 a square foot, it’s a special deal.”
Since then, Lil Wayne has been fighting several lawsuits, including a $51 million beef with Cash Money, a $300,000 lawsuit with a former lawyer and ongoing issues with the IRS.
Life is hard, kids. These rappers may love you. They may not love you. One thing is for sure, nobody can really help you if you don’t help yourself. Also, when the love is gone, you can be gone in a heartbeat. This dude Mo-G has seemingly fallen out with the OVO crew and will no longer be down with Drake. That’s got to hurt. But, I am not trying to joke on dude, because he was clearly down with Drake. I am hoping they can work it out somehow, because they seem to be pretty cool.
Today, DJ Scream released a project that features the hottest rappers from Atlanta to LA. The new compilation album, titled Legend, includes exclusive music from Killer Mike, Migos, Gucci Mane, Kendrick Lamar, 2 tracks from 2 Chainz, along with many others. According to Complex, the MMG DJ will be releasing a new album sometime soon.
(AllHipHop News) Drake has been making moves this weekend. Not only was the Toronto rap star in Austin last night to confirm that his highly anticipated album Views From The 6 would be dropping next month, but earlier this week the rapper went out of his way to make a cancer patient’s dream come true. According to Complex, following his featured performance of the hit single “Work” with Rihanna during her ANTI World Tour, the two stars paid a visit to see the young patient, named Megan, sometime after. Earlier today, clips of Drake and Rihanna with the patient started to surface.
You can’t stand the Snow Man…but you went to his show and paid for a ticket? Somebody touched Jeezy in a way that he didn’t like and Jeezy let him know what’s up. Not much to see here, but people made it into something big.
Following their surprise OVO Concert at SXSW, the label’s member PARTYNEXTDOOR and founder Drake link up on a new track titled “Come And See Me.” Produced by Noah “40” Shebib, “Come and See Me” fits PND’s style by maintaining a relaxed and smooth tone while adding bass to the track. The artist is also supposed to be releasing his sophomore project P3 sometime soon, according to HYPETRAK.
(AllHipHop News) Earlier today, shots were reported being fired in downtown Austin on the last day of South By Southwest. According to USA Today, two suspects were apprehended by police after multiple gunshots were heard around 4 am on 6th street downtown. Kill TV’s Kristin Diaz live-tweeted the incident as a witness when it happened.

Time makes people forget. X to the Z aka Xzibit is one real hombre, but it seems like some of his TV ventures have gotten people confused. One fan tried to get funny with the Cali King and got served her way. Oh…she mad.
(AllHipHop News) During his performance at the surprise OVO Takeover down at SXSW, Drake confirmed that his long awaited album Views From The 6 will be releasing next month. According to REVOLT, the rap star made the announcement after performing his Meek Mill diss track “Summer Sixteen.”
Views From The 6, Drake’s fourth LP, has been in the works since his last project Nothing Was The Same released in 2013. However, the rapper has managed to keep fans waiting by releasing multiple hits, his mixtape If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, and the collaboration project with Future What A Time To Be Alive.
I am not sure what is going on here, but if I didn’t know better, I would think this was the END of the beef with The Game and 50 Cent. This ha been one of the most bitter, long-running beefs in the history of Hip-Hop. Earlier this year, we saw The Game link with Lloyd Banks…that was a big step. Now, it looks like the brothers finally working it out. 50 Cent & The Game were in the same club the other day at PlayHouse Hollywood. Game’s manager Wack100 apparently talked to 50 before The Game arrived. He told 50 that everything is good. The Game then apparently ordered 30 bottles of 50’s Effen vodka. They didn’t shake hands or anything but this was a big step.
It seems like a 10-year plus beef is over. They may not be best friends, but at least we can say they are grown men about their ish now.
