Last week Berner took us to the weed fields of Cali, this week we get smoked out with the Hip-Hop Weed Mt Rushmore if you will. First up is Berner, then Wiz laces the hook a la some 90’s R&B, then Snoop and B-Real close out the joint with nothing but heavily smoked out lyrics. It’s not just weed raps though – actually it kind of is, but it’s still bangin’! Berner’s Hempire drops next month.

Editorial: The Key to Beating Donald Trump

The Trump Factor is rather quite simple and people aren’t getting it, particularly politicians. No one anticipated Trump to still be a factor this late in the game, ESPECIALLY the Republicans, who are probably more embarrassed than anyone else in this country, that none of the establishment’s choices have done anything remotely damaging to Trump or his campaign for president. I mean, even Jeb Bush has given up and he was slated to be in a much better position than anyone not named Paul Ryan (Remember him?).

Now, the formula to beat Trump is so simple that none of the Republican candidates won’t even try it and even if so, it’s a tad bit too late! Now, the United States of America has to go through this embarrassing thing called the Presidential Election by pitting one of the most absurd candidates to ever be placed on the ballot, because the establishment STILL plays by the rules that are so antiquated that it’s ridiculous that it’s taken this long to expose what’s wrong with American politics.

You know how to beat Donald Trump? It’s simple, stop being a politician and actually speak to the people the way the people want to be spoken to!

See how simple that was!

I feel that it’s not that most people actually agree with Trump, I feel it’s because they like the fact that he goes against the grain and not follow the script that politicians have been following for years. Now, just think about it. President Obama was elected because of his approach, not necessarily because of what he was talking about. Yes, some of you will disagree with me, but, it’s evident the way this president has been so disrespected despite all his accomplishments and barriers placed in front of him. Did you REALLY think this country was ready for a Black president? Not as much as you think, I believe they were more ready for a change of how a politician spoke to them which is why Obama resonated with so many people on some many levels.

Now, back to Trump. You can tell (outside of the obvious racists and ignorant people who hang on to his every word!) by how he speaks, that people gravitate towards him, NOT because of what he says, but, more so because of how he bucks the system and does what he wants to do and doesn’t care because he lives by his own rules. Now, how many of us wish that we can do the same thing and be successful because of it? C’mon, you know you feel that way!

So, in short, if any of Trump’s ‘rivals’ had taken a similar approach and had bucked the system (I mean, wasn’t that Chris Christie’s job?), I can assure you that Trump’s rising star would have been short circuited by now. So, anyone who wants to obtain office and understand that, we, the people, are SICK of how politicians treat us, will be highly successful!!!

Jay-Z Is Firing People At Tidal (Again)

(AllHipHop News) Once again, Jay-Z has started clearing house at his developing music streaming service, Tidal. The hip hop mogul recently ran into a couple of legal issues after news surfaced that Yesh Music, the party supporting John Emanuele of American Dollar, recently filed a $5 Million lawsuit over royalties. Although the company has claimed that they are clear of royalty issues and are able to purchase master recordings, according to a recent statement, that didn’t stop Hova from firing the people responsible for the issues.

Recently, Tidal released another statement stating that they have let go of COO Nils Juel and CFO Chris Hart. This is yet another time that the young streaming service has managed to fire an employee within their executive ranks, especially after bad press.

Although Tidal is currently having some growing pains, the company’s still progressing efficiently. The release of Kanye West’s latest album The Life of Pablo helped gain so many subscribers that its size in numbers doubled in less than a week.

New Jack City: Teyana Taylor Returns To The 90’s

Teyana Taylor is back to the future with her new song “Undercover.” She evokes the rolling 1990’s, where Hip-Hop and R&B merged to make New Jack Swing. She is in full retro mode in the video that stems from her 2015 mixtape The Cassette. “I know that you belong to her / Yet I’m still your lover / We both know this could never work, let’s stay undercover,” she sings. A very old school notion since TT is now married with a kid.

Kevin Hart Responds To Katt Williams’ Diss, Katt Now Running For President

(AllHipHop News) Katt Williams may want to be an emcee, since he has more punchlines than your average rapper these days. This time, he has reserved his darts for Kevin Hart, arguably the most bankable Black comic working.

“I’ve already proven that the best they have in comedy is Kevin Hart. (audience member boos). Don’t you boo a Black man working, baby,” Katt said before calling Hart out. “Even though that n***a’s a puppet. Its not his fault. We don’t get mad at that. Get what I’m saying. If you wanna be mad at Kermit The Frog, don’t be mad at Kermit the Frog. Be mad at Jim Henson. Don’t say f**k Donald Duck when you really mean “F**k Walt Disney. I don’t care about nothing that happens with Kevin. I wish him the best. I just know that somebody’ hand is stuck up that baby.”

He continued going in on Kevin Hart and then announced his bid for presidency. Check the whole clip below.

He didn’t name Katt, but Kevin seemed to reference him in a post from the Oscars.

“Me & Dave Chappelle with our brother @chrisrock tonight at the Oscars. True professionals understand the importance of sticking together & supporting one another….at the end of the day we are comedians & there aren’t many that make it to level that we have made it. But so many doors are opened from the success of one comedian & when you see those doors open you then have the opportunity to walk thru them….it’s about helping one another not trying to tear each other down!!!! The insecure ones will never understand what “Support & encouragement” #Message #DopePic #Legendary”

Yesterday Katt was arrested again in an alleged assault. The matter was chronicled on Fox News.


Comedian Katt Williams was arrested Monday on a battery charge in Georgia after a store employee told police that Williams punched him during an argument.

Gainesville police officers responded to an assault call at a pool supply store around 11:30 a.m. and found Williams outside “lying on the ground with his hands behind his back as though he was ready to go to jail,” Sgt. Kevin Holbrook said.

A store employee told officers Williams, who was in the store with two women, began arguing with the employee and threw a pair of goggles at him, Holbrook said. Williams then went behind the counter and punched the employee at least once, Holbrook said.

The cause of the argument wasn’t immediately clear. When officers tried to question Williams, he told them to ask the store employee what happened, Holbrook said.

Hall County sheriff’s Deputy Nicole Bailes said in an email that Williams faces a misdemeanor battery charge and was being held on $5,000 bond. Online jail records show Williams was booked into jail at 1:34 p.m.

Did Kevin Gates Really Outsell Rihanna In Their First Week Of Sales?

Photo via Kevin Gate’s Instagram

Although Rihanna’s album instantly went to No.1 within its first week of sales, according to Kevin Gates, that spot belonged to him. Kevin Gates told 93.9’s The Fam In The Morning show that when he went to Apple they told him that his album was really No.1, but he really didn’t care because he didn’t care if the album was No.13. He said Apple went on to tell him that Samsung paid for some of Rihanna’s albums making the sales and reported numbers unfair, and meaning Kevin’s album was really No. 1. What are your thoughts?
