A$AP Ferg “After This Album, My Sh*t Gonna Be Extra Stupid Lit”
As discussed in this interview with HOT 97’s E-Bro and the crew, a lot of times when people talk about modern day New York Hip-Hop scene, the A$AP Mob as a whole is overlooked. Why?

Ferg is a mentally tough individual and because of that he is a regular at Summer festivals and has recorded with the likes Madonna for example. Check it below as Ferg talks about persevering despite limited support early on from his label and despite losing A$AP Yams. Looks like Ferg is going to be around for a while, he is just that resilient.
Mac Miller Calls Out White Rap Listeners For Not Being Involved In Black Lives Matter Movement
Mac Miller may have been annoyed by the Republican debates based on some of his recent tweets. He brought up the fact that racism is still a major problem in our society. With his remarks he seemed to address what some of his peers aren’t interested in addressing. He explained that although music brings people together, it doesn’t mean people completely get some of the messages. One tweet that stood out in particular by Mac said,
“Dear White People who listen to rap music…..What have you done for the #BlackLivesMatter movement.”
Many were divided. Some feel that white people love black culture but not black people. Some felt that nowadays music cannot be assigned to a race. Should being apart of black issues be a prerequisite to listening to rap music? What are your thoughts?

According to Kat Stacks two very popular things are fake! Kat says both her WorldStarHipHop videos and the Love & Hip Hop franchise are fake. She claims Love & Hip Hop wasn’t going to pay her, and they were just going to guarantee her publicity. Kat also claims she was cast for LHHATL but she had to move, get back with her ex, and cheat on them with a baller. She went on to say LHH Hollywood wanted her to fake a relationship with Young Scrap and have Rich Dollaz discover him as a new artist. She also claims Cardi B & DJ Self faked their relationship to get on LHHNY. She closed saying the show is completely fake. Kat also revealed that all of her WorldStar videos were fake, and that she did them only for money. She also claims the rappers she was exposing were in on the videos for publicity. We wonder what else Kat will be “exposing.” She has a new book out. Will you be picking it up?

Chris Brown sent out a series of tweets yesterday (December 17) where he stated the American justice system is “set on bullsh*t.” During his tweet spree, Brown claimed the United States is run by corrupt politicians and illegal narcotics. At one point CB asks, “Y’all wanna lock [Meek] up but what about Freddie Gray?”
The R&B singer was sentenced to probation and community service following the 2009 assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna. His probation ended earlier this year.
Another entertainer that has faced the U.S. criminal courts first hand shared his thoughts about the situation as well. Turk, the New Orleans rapper who spent 8 years, 8 months and 16 days incarcerated on second-degree attempted murder charges, replied to Brown on his own Twitter timeline.
“We gotta be more accountable for our own actions. We know about the system,” wrote the former Hot Boys member. He later added, “The system is corrupt, but we can’t keep falling in the traps.”

“I was surprised that after people had a chance to have it for free, they still want to buy it,” said Puff. “I heard about the effect that Kendrick [Lamar] had when he let everybody hear his album for a week for free before they could buy it. It just shows that if it’s quality, people have a demand for it.”
According to his TDE label boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly was unintentionally leaked early to iTunes. The album was supposed to be released on March 23, but it hit the digital store on March 15.
The following day TPAB was pulled from iTunes. However, the project was still made available for streaming on Spotify. The album went on to set a new single day streaming record on the service.
Puff Daddy is next set to drop what he is calling his final album. No Way Out 2 will be the sequel to the Harlem native’s 1997 debut LP. Listeners can look for NWO2 to arrive in 2016. Puffy is expected to reunite with his Bad Boy Family for a new tour as well.

Ginuwine Blasts Tyrese After The Singer Says R&B Supergroup TGT Is Done
(AllHipHop News) Two years ago Tyrese, Tank, and Ginuwine joined forces to create the R&B supergroup TGT. The singers released one album under the name. It appears Three Kings will be the only project from the trio at least for some time.
[ALSO READ: NEW MUSIC VIDEO: TGT “I Need”]
Tyrese took to Instagram to announce the group was officially over. He wrote:
I’m sorry to break the news………….. TGT is done………. It’s not about fault….. Business is business….. Me and Tank are still movin….. We will forever love our brother G as brothers….

The reason it worked is because of our history and mutual respect……. I don’t know I’m just shocked and disappointed that I’m even putting up this post……. #ThreeKingsNoMore but I guess…. #LSG only made one album….. Damn..
Apparently this was news to Ginuwine, because the “Pony” performer left a comment on Tyrese’s post which referred to the Fast & Furious star as a diva making a “p*ssy move.” Ginuwine wrote:
wow really to post personal Bizns sh*t is a p*ssy move n*gga why would you do that and since you wanna do that keep it going and we will expose it all DIVA lets get it!!!!!!be a f*cking man not a lil boy talk to me call don’t try and manipulate the situation publicly wack wack wack of you. Exactly why it is the way it is.
The post has since been deleted from Tyrese’s IG page. But the creator of the #1 2015 album Black Rose did leave up another message on the social media platform:
You reach out your hand……. Build people UP…. Put people ON…. Expose them to your blessed life and lifestyle….. They talk sh*t, year you down and spread your business to make themselves look BIGGER and more important that what they really are…… They get so consumed in YOUR life they start thinking they are YOU…..

It’s happened too many times for me NOT to speak on it… This is NOT just a celebrity thing… It’s called LIFE…… I hate to break the news to you..:. But there’s only one man named TYRESE GIBSON……. A real child of God who refuse to put up with anybody’s BS!!!
Previously, TGT members Tyrese and Tank got into an exchange via social media. Tank took issue with Tyrese challenging artists to make pure R&B albums. The “You Don’t Know” vocalist eventually apologized to Tyrese and the fans for expressing his comments on a public platform.

FBI Did Not Seize Secret Wu-Tang Clan Album During Martin Shkreli Arrest
(AllHipHop News) A lot of people felt karma played its part this week when pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli was arrested by the FBI on charges of securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy, and wire fraud conspiracy. He became a public villain earlier this year when his company raised the cost of a life saving HIV drug from $13.50 to $750 per pill.

Shkreli was also hated by many Wu-Tang Clan fans after it was reported the 32-year-old purchased the only copy of the group’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin album. The Wu faithful hoped the FBI would be able to now release the unheard music, but the Bureau’s New York field office posted a tweet saying they did not seize the secret LP during the Shkreli raid.
The world will have to wait and see what becomes of Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. The alleged $2 million album was contractually prevented from being publicly released until the year 2103.
#Breaking no seizure warrant at the arrest of Martin Shkreli today, which means we didn't seize the Wu-Tang Clan album.

Rita Ora Files Lawsuit Against Jay Z’s Roc Nation Over Lack Of Support
(AllHipHop News) According to multiple reports, Rita Ora has filed a lawsuit against her record label Roc Nation. The British singer is seeking to be let out of her contract, claiming the agreement with Jay Z’s company violates California law.
[ALSO READ: Rita Ora And Chris Brown Perform “Body On Me” On Jimmy Kimmel]
Ora signed her deal when she was 18, but The Voice UK coach believes Roc Nation has now focused most of its attention on the sports management wing. The complaint also mention Jay’s other business endeavour Tidal.
“When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist,” the suit states. “As Roc Nation’s interests diversified, there were fewer resources available and the company suffered a revolving door of executives. Rita’s remaining supporters at the label left or moved on to other activities, to the point where she no longer had a relationship with anyone at the company.”
In addition, Ora claims Roc Nation’s transition from being distributed by Sony to being distributed by Universal has caused issues for her career. The suit also refers to Roc Nation as a “diminished” label with “only a handful of admittedly worthy heritage superstar artists.”
Ora is looking to use California’s “seven year rule” law which allows artists to break from their contracts after that time period. However, previous cases have ended with the record companies being given the ability to sue the artist for “lost profits” on uncompleted albums.
The 25-year-old “R.I.P.” performer’s deal reportedly requires her to release up to five albums with a “pay or play” provision. She has only released one album while at Roc Nation, 2012’s Ora.
The rest of Roc Nation’s current label division roster includes Jay Z, J. Cole, Jay Electronica, Rihanna, Willow Smith, Vic Mensa, DJ Mustard, and others. Since its launch in 2008, only Jay and Cole have released more than one album through the company. Meanwhile, Rita Ora has already been pulled from the list of label acts on the Roc Nation website.

Sheek is a gorilla aka he’s a beast. After years in the game as a formative member of The LOX, Sheek has probably seen some of the wildest nights that that Hip-Hop has ever seen.
