(AllHipHop News) With the resurgence of a West-Coast Hip-Hop movement backed by Kendrick Lamar’s 7 Grammy’s and multiple achievements, the spotlight is shining bright on the city of Compton, California once again.
This time the light shines bright on the small Los Angeles sub-city in a new A&E series that’s set to hit television this Spring.
While A&E has yet to release an official statement on their website, a recent interview with Compton rapper Payso revealed that the show will be called Straight Into Compton and will take viewers on a behind the scenes ride of one of LA’s most notorious communities.
“I took them to my main street Nord St. and they brought all the cameras out, they had a big ass van and the cameras and cranes swinging around. I was sitting on top of the house that I grew up in. They had all my homies out from my hood and sh*t,” Payso explained.
“They had all my homies on the porch, they interviewed damn near everybody from my ‘hood. They talked to my My Momma my Granny, all that s###. Then they took me to my elementary and I was telling them little stories about what happened. Then we walked through my whole hood and I did some freestyles. It was a pretty decent interview”
According to Payso there are several other rappers from Compton that will also be featured in the doc including Game, AD, and YG to name a few.
Compton rapper AD, who was featured on The Game’s most recent album The Documentary 2.5, also Tweeted out an image of him working on the A&E series.

Currently Payso has been steady at work on creating visuals for his most recent mixtape, The Plug and was featured on Ray J’s newest song, “Real Life Playa.”
Many regarded the song as Ray J’s official response to Kanye West for mentioning Ray J on The Life of Pablo.
Check out Payso’s most recent video for “Man of the Year” below:
(AllHipHop News) Today (March 25th) VladTV dropped an interview with Quentin Miller and some unknown information came out related to the Meek Mill and Drake beef from last year.
In the interview, media insider Taxstone is shown in a pop-out-screen revealing that Meek Mill and his Dreamchaser crew beat up Quentin Miller.
“Meek wanted the mu’f#### to write for him,” Taxstone said. “Quentin Miller wouldnt write for him, so they blew it up like ‘this mu’f#### write for Drake.’ That’s how it really came out and that’s why Dreamchasers beat Quentin Miller up in LA.”
Upon seeing the clip with Vlad, Quentin began to explain what really happened that day. Quentin Miller confirmed the beatdown at Footlocker in LA and after all of the beef with Drake and Meek.
“Yea its true,” Quentin Miller said repeatedly laughing. “They caught me. We was walking, I was in LA and I walking to the Nike store and he approached me and this was really my first time talking with Meek. And he basically told me like, you know he didn’t appreciate the letter that I dropped, and that it made him seem like he was a liar and stuff. And they stole off in my Nike store and ran. I shed blood in the Nike store on Wilshire. I shed blood in the Nike store”
“I’m really bout this life,” Quentin Miller laughed as he beat on his chest. “But nah that s### is real. As far as details about that other s###. I’m not going to detail that. As far as DJ Drama, I always got love and respect for DJ Drama. As far as Meek Mill I dont get them, I don’t get how he moves or why they make the decisions they make, but I guess that’s just who they are, its whatever.”
No cops and no charges were pressed according to Quentin. Quentin asserts that he’s not at “street n*gga,” and said “They can have that.”

Currently Karrueche is nominated for two Emmy Awards for her shows The Bay and Vanity Series.
“Its such a blessing and I’ve just started my acting career,” Karrueche said. “For me its just really really awesome and I’m just happy and thankful.”
“I will say she is very talented, its amazing to work with her on set. Very fun, very funny, you know a lot of people don’t know how funny she is, but they’ll see in this film. We had a great time.” Marques Houston recalled of working on set with Karrueche in the new film .

“My parents in this film Witney and Clifton are just really insane,” Marques added.
A Weekend With the Family debuts April 1st, check out the trailer below:
(AllHipHop News) Michael Jordan says he has received a bad rap for hating Hip-Hop music.
”MJ wasn’t at this party, doesn’t know N.O.R.E., and is a fan of ALL music. Drake is in his brand, and Nelly is a partner of his with the Charlotte Hornets,” a rep for the famous billionaire hooper told TMZ.
Nore is sticking to his side of the story and he goes into detail in this exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com.
However, Nore took the story a step farthing and chided Michael Jordan for his largely apolitical stance. This is not the first time, the NBA mega star has been criticized for not speaking out, particularly when Black
“If you look at Michael Jordan, he’s never made a statement about Black Lives Matter, he’s never made a statement about the police brutality…he’s never actually acted Black,” Nore said exclusively to AllHipHop.com. “Even his bell-bottom jeans…who Black and cool looks like that? He wears the bell-bottoms…those never been hot in the Back community.”
Inglewood rapper King Lil G drops his “Cold Christmas” track, the first song released from his forthcoming album Lost In Smoke 2 due out April 20th on DEL Records. LA Weekly recently declared that King Lil G is “Leading His Own Hip Hop Revolution.” The Latino rapper has over 40 Million combined YouTube views and over 10 Million Spotify plays not to mention that King Lil G got the whole hood behind him.
“When I wrote this, I was inspired by the unconditional love a mother can give a kid. Overall I wanted to give a message that life is not about materialistic things. Faith in God and Love can take us to the right places in life,” explains King Lil G.
Fans can join King Lil G at his hometown album release show on April 22nd at The Novo by Microsoft (formally Club Nokia). Tickets are on-sale at 10AM PST today at: http://www.thenovodtla.com/events/detail/308617
N.O.R.E sparked a bit of controversy earlier this week on a Rap Radar Podcast where he claimed that Michael Jordan once said “f*ck rap” at a Def Jam party. N.O.R.E claims MJ is a true hater of Hip Hop, and went on to say that Jordan wouldn’t allow his likeness to be used for the “Oh No” music video. N.O.R.E said there were plenty of rappers waiting to speak to Michael Jordan at the party, but he only spoke to Jay Z.
MJ’s rep, Estee Portnoy, spoke to TMZ sports denying Nore’s claims.
“MJ wasn’t at this party, doesn’t know N.O.R.E., and is a fan of ALL music. Drake is in his brand, and Nelly is a partner of his with the Charlotte Hornets.”
Now it was one thing to get your rep to lie about your stance on Hip Hop, but to say you weren’t at the party at all. N.O.R.E proved otherwise. It doesn’t matter what Michael Jordan says, y’all are still going to camp out for those J’s lol.

(AllHipHop News) Long Beach bred and Cali residing rapper Snoop Dogg has always had an affinity for plants and the green lifestyle.

Iggy Azalea decided to shake things up just days after revealing that she once had suicidal thoughts. Iggy stopped by Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’, where host Andy Cohen took time out to highlight Nicki Minaj’s BET Awards acceptance speech. In the speech Nicki stated,
“If you hear Nicki spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it.”
Cohen went on to ask Iggy if she believes that was a shot at her, and how does she respond to critics who have issues with her not writing her own rhymes. Iggy replied saying,
“I have just as many people on my writing credits as she has on hers. I know I write mine, and if she writes hers, I believe her too. But you can’t look at the credits and be like, oh look at this massive difference! It’s the same number of people on both.”
Iggy says she doesn’t know if Nicki was taking a shot at her directly or not, but she’s only concerned when someone says her name as she doesn’t have time to speculate. Although Iggy didn’t say too much, it might not have been a good idea to stir up anything with Nicki Minaj, especially since Iggy stated that cyber-bullying made her have suicidal thoughts. Andy and Iggy were playing ‘I Plead The 5th,’ so maybe Iggy should’ve taken that option.

Rumor has it that Big Sean and Jhene Aiko have a joint album on the way. Perhaps this is the reason the two have been spending so much time together over the past year. The album may be released as a surprise since there hasn’t been any promo for it. Allegedly Big Sean believes the album will do well. A source close to the two says the album will have a nice combination of fast and slow beats with Sean rapping and Jhene singing the hooks? What are your thoughts? Are you a fan of Jhene Aiko’s music?

(AllHipHop News) The name 50 Cent has nearly become synonymous with Hip Hop beef. Over the last few months, 50 found himself in even more conflicts with former associate Bang Em Smurf and Hot 97 radio personality Ebro Darden. In contrast, it appears the hostilities between the G-Unit leader and ex-comrade The Game have settled down a bit.
50 spoke with Danny Diaz of Power 98 about a variety of topics including his recent noteworthy feuds. Check out some of the highlights below.
On issues with Ebro:
He’ll say it’s my fault that New York City Hip Hop ain’t what it was because of my momentum. I’m like, ‘You was the program director. You didn’t play the new music.” You mean to tell me nobody made a hit during the time I was… Everybody had hit music. It was his responsibility to play it at that point. I ruined it?
On competition in Hip Hop:
You gotta pick and choose based on what you feel the public perception of yourself is at that point – do you continue to pursue it or do you let it go? In the beginning, I used to respond to anything and everybody. I was not picking and choosing who it is – if you want some, come get some. That’s because our culture is competitive. I felt like if you weren’t competing then you lost a big part of what Hip Hop is about.
On Bang Em Smurf alleging 50 put a hit on his life:
[Smurf] was like, “Yo, he tried to get me killed.’ He saw somebody in a room that shot at him. They’re all in the neighborhood. They’re gonna shoot each other anyway in the neighborhood. Now you put it together that I was getting you killed at that point because you saw them in the video with me? Nah man, he might have wanted to kill you for recreational purposes. You was saying some sh*t you wasn’t supposed to be saying… There was no specific situation where they were told to knock him off. He felt like that. When I saw he said that, I was like, “I wouldn’t do that. I don’t have that kind of sh*t on my heart for him.” He’s still one of my pee wees. He was alright.
On The Game showing love to 50’s Effen vodka:
I don’t know what that is. I don’t know what it is. It’s not even on his Instagram [anymore]. Sometimes you do stuff and you don’t even know if you mean it. The [cell phone] is right there in your pocket, so if you’re drinking that don’t matter. He took it down. He fixed it. As soon as he started to sober up, he took it off… I’m not concerned with it. I think either way, if he liked the product, then it’s cool. If he likes the TV show, cool. I’m not angry at his stuff when I see it.
Watch 50 Cent’s interview below.
(AllHipHop News) With the passing of New York rap legend Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor, many Hip Hop participants and followers shared their thoughts about the A Tribe Called Quest co-founder. Thanks to J. Period, a throwback interview of Q-Tip speaking about some of his memories with Phife has surfaced online as well.
“Phife really introduced me to actually taking it seriously to rap. I’ve known Phife since I was like 4 years old. We went to church and everything,” said Q-Tip. “We sang in the harmony choir, all that stuff, and he was always the one feeding me with different little things. He’s the one who kinda put it in me that I could rhyme, because he was always rhyming.”
He continued, “Phife was like, ‘Yo, man. We can rap. Listen to [Slick] Rick. You know, you been listening to that joint for weeks. That’s your lane.’ Basically, in that kind of way, he was saying that. So, he pushed me to rhyme.”
Listen to Q-Tip’s interview below.
