(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg has managed to make his name universal brand both inside and outside of the studio. With the rapper’s legendary name in hip hop, several businesses have been interested in using it for their own benefits, sometimes without . One of those businesses happen to be Pabst Brewing Company, who’s being sued by Snoop for breach of contract.
According to XXL, Pabst offered Snoop a deal to be their brand ambassador for a new flavored malt-liquor line called Blast by Colt-45. Although the Snoop’s contract was supposed to last only three years regarding the terms of agreement, it also included a two-year period where the rapper could receive %10 of total profits if Blast by Colt 45 or the Colt 45 brand was sold to another company.
Snoop sued Pabst last year for breach of contact, and received the favor of the judge despite the alcohol company claiming that they owed him nothing for their actions.
The rapper will be in court in court this October to settle his case.
I was under the impression that Tyga somehow managed to get out of the woods with this. I really goes to show you how they don’t care about Kylie. But that is another opinion for another time. The internets seriously exaggerated this one. It was so bad, TMZ took a story completely down. Basically Tyga and Kylie were playing kissy face or something and she responded to rumors that she was preggers and soon to be married. Tyga was asking her the questions. It went a little like this.
Tyga: Are you pregnant? I think we need to address that rumor because I feel like everybody thinks you’re pregnant.
Kylie: Because I’m a f***ing infant child and I don’t want to be married or have a baby right now!
INFANT?
After this, Tyga tries to clean it up stating that she was a “young woman that’s very focused” and his girlfriend insisted on calling herself a “baby.” Uhmmmmmm…Under the bus. I know she is 18 now, but she looks about 30. He’s 26, but acts 18. So, that’s her man and she isn’t a baby by any standard I can identify. A radio station recently ask Tyga how he deals with the age difference.
“I don’t know,” he told San Francisco radio station 106 KMEL. “It’s hard to talk about that because people are gonna bash. I didn’t understand it though because I’m like, ‘This person is a really good person.’”
I dunno, bud. Watch for the hook. That video has since been taken down.
Meek and Nicki Minaj may not be in the best space right now and its reportedly all over his legal status. They may be on the verge of breaking up, reports say. Meek apparently wants Nicki close as he goes through his 90-day house arrest in Philly. Basically, he wants her to live in the City of Brotherly Love for that period of time. She seems fed up and unwilling to contend with this demand, because she is fed up with Meek. Him getting in trouble has worn thin for her, it would seem. Nicki has not posted a pic of her and Meek on instagram in about 5 weeks. To me, that is saying something. At one point, it was nauseating. These, LOVE BIRDS! May be there is some truth in these rumors.
Which is it?
We will soon see. People fight. People reconcile. People break-up. Stuff happens. For Meek’s sake, I hope this doesn’t happens. The memes will be deadly.

For many watching the Republican debates on CNN from The University of Houston, Texas yesterday, the theatrical banality of the ideological vitriol got a little too picture perfect when it came to the well crafted and subversive undertones of a 30 second television spot for the upcoming Universal Pictures release, “The Purge: Election Year” which has an official theatrical release date of July 1, 2016.
“The Purge: Election Year” is the third installment in the Universal Pictures science fiction horror franchise based on the idea that America has been reconfigured into a highly polarized police state where one night a year the government has an event called “The Purge.” During “The Purge,” for 12 hours starting at 7pm and ending at 7am the next day, all crime is legal and all police, fire and medical emergency services are effectively out of commission. Exempt from attack during “The Purge” and also to be left undisturbed are all government officials with authorization levels of 10 or higher, as well as the top tier “New Founding Fathers of America,” who are directly responsible for creating “The Purge” as a social science experiment that efficiently “purges” the country of it’s least desirable and most expendable members as the poor are routinely earmarked as the “best” victims during this night of institutionalized mayhem and violence.
In the latest “Purge” movie, fittingly titled “The Purge: Election Year,” a new female candidate for the presidency looks to end the purge upon election, calling the concept of a purge inherently unjust and therefore wrong. Naturally, some of the “New Founding Fathers” want to stop her by means that are less than kosher with regards to the current police state system of checks and balances. As such, in a brilliant play of gorilla cinema verite, Universal bought time during last night’s Republican debates to run a very official “Pro Purge” campaign commercial. The effect was as high on impact as it was on confusion as many viewers initially believed that the commercial was real and relevant to the 2016 Presidential race, as seen here direct from twitter:
No doubt, some executives at Universal are feeling pretty pleased with themselves right about now whether it’s Republicans or Dems who end up looking pretty come November.
Well folks, it’s official! Paramount pictures announced yesterday that principal photography has started on “Baywatch” the movie, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron, fashioned after the American television series that first aired in 1989 and went on to become one of the most watched television series in the world.
With a theater release date set for May 19, 2017, it would appear that this time around the bold and the beautiful patrolling the beach will come in many a suntanned shade as “Quantico” television series’ star Priyanka Chopra, Ilfenesh Hadera of ” Chi-raq” and comedian Hannibal Buress from “Daddy’s Home” and “Neighbors” have been tapped to complete the cast.
For those living in Los Angeles and hoping to catch an in person sniff of what The Rock is cooking, you’ll have to mosey east and then down south as Miami, Florida and Savannah, Georgia are serving as the on set doubles for that sunny cinematic Bay.
Seth Gordon, the director of “Horrible Bosses” is set to helm this picture with the original producers of “Baywatch” the television series, Michael Berk, Doug Schwartz and Greg Bonann set to produce along with heavy hitters Beau Flynn and Ivan Reitman. Considering the gut busting Alpha versus Omega antics done so well in Gordon’s ” Horrible Bosses,” something good could definitely be brewing in this “Baywatch” movie redo with Johnson playing David Hasselhoff’s established king of the beach, Mitch Buchannon, who finds himself deep in top lifeguard battle with new kid on the block Efron. Things only get more heightened when both lifeguards unwittingly discover a criminal threat to the future of their beloved Bay.
In “Baywatch” Johnson will find himself reunited with Alexandra Daddario, who played his daughter in the hugely successful blockbuster “San Andreas.” Add this that Johnson also worked well on ” San Andreas” with none other than current “Baywatch” producer Beau Flynn, and the forecast for “Baywatch” could be quite sunny.
Just by reading the title of the ABC network hit series, Blackish, it doesn’t take much to know that the show nails down on some hot controversies.
In the latest episode, Anthony Anderson’s character (Dre) heats it up even more when he taps the conversation on police brutality in a passionate 2 minute spiel. Mentioning the names of unarmed Blacks murdered by police last year such as Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland, the show makes a bold statement on one plight that drives the Black Lives Matter movement and many other social activism causes.

(AllHipHop News) 2016 is the year of social media sparring. Earlier today (Feb. 26), 50 Cent set his sights on Hot 97’s Program Director, Ebro Darden. The Power player believes that Darden mistakenly blames him for the decline in New York’s Hip-Hop scene.
In an Instagram caption to a picture of Ebro, 50 wrote, “This Guy said I destroyed New York HipHop because I didn’t work with New York artist to cover up he was the program director that wouldn’t play there records. sMH #EFFENVODKA.”
Following 50’s passionate allegations, the veteran radio personality addressed his morning show audience. He asserted that the epic feud between Ja Rule and 50 Cent initiated the demise of New York’s prominence in Rap. “When 50 and Ja didn’t want to work together and people was affiliated on this side and people was on that side, it made other people from other places not also want to do music with those artists,” as reported by Hip Hollywood, “because they didn’t want no problems.”
Ebro would openly elaborate on his perspective. Through a screen shot captured by The Shade Room, Ebro states, “He wanted to throw up a conversation on his Instagram about how I said his beef with Ja and that whole thing divided New York in a way that crippled New York forever,” he says. “50 and I have had this discussion face-to-face. He don’t like it, but then he wants to say I’m covering for the fact that I don’t support New York artists. Well, I’m here for the flames.”
After Ebro made that caustic assertion the Queens rapper has replied. As it relates to the music industry, the emerging entrepreneur challenged radio’s relevance. Again the I instigator beckoned, “”I saw your response truth is you wouldn’t know a hit,if it hit your ass in the head. Radio is all messed up, New artist have to break on line. I know you can’t see it but you don’t mean s### anymore. Buy the time you support records there already working fool. Name one new Artist or song out of New York you broke. Lol you should be ashamed of your self.#EFFENVODKA”
(AllHipHop News) From focusing on “Gridin'” to God, No Malice, stands firm in his truth. Lyrically-acclaimed for his Clipse creativity, the big brother Thornton’s documentary, The End of Malice, will reflect his different rites-of-passage. While traversing the nation on a 16-city tour, the respected MC is scheduled to link up with AllHipHop’s, Chuck Creekmur.
Mr. Creekmur, a Hip-Hop cultural critic, has been enlisted to moderate two separate introspective interviews with No Malice. Next week, these inquiries will take place in Philadelphia, on Monday (Feb. 29), and in Virgina Beach, on Thursday (March 3). The concise, first-person narrative, chronicles No Malice’s maturation as a man.
Professional obligations and personal responsibilities tormented the once conflicted wordsmith. Later this month, the film — which also features his childhood friend, Pharrell, and his partner in rhyme, Pusha T — is slated for its TV premier on Sunday, March 27. The Second Films and Ditoremayo Entertainment collaboration will be broadcast on REVOLT TV.
With a 40 minute run-time, No Malice effectively demonstrates his angst. He remembers, “I was always frustrated, always angry and I didn’t know why. If I’d never had money I would have thought my anger stemmed from being broke. But now I had money and tons of it and still was not fulfilled. I had a deep void in my life.”
Amid the public’s unflinching glance, living his life on center stage was eventually cathartic for No Malice. He states, “I don’t regret the music or the catalog of my group, but that’s only because it has given me a place to not only tell part of the truth, but to tell the entire story.”
