(AllHipHop News) Yesterday (June 25), Brooklyn rapper, Bobby Shmurda, who is currently incarcerated on Rikers Island in New York City, opened up to XXL about which of his Rap industry peers have showed him support.
Although the embattled, Ackquille Jean Pollard, better known as Bobby Shmurda, recently received an additional charge for possession of a shank, he showed his gratitude for the relationship that he shares with Philly rapper, Meek Mill. “I talked to Meek. Meek sent me some letters. I tried to send some back. I’m trying to get in contact with him. I got a lot of love for Meek Mill, man. That’s my guy right there, I got a lot of love for him right there, that’s big bro,” he offered.
The rising star who’s ascent to stardom was abruptly cut short also explained that while he has “talked to” Migos, French Montana, and Fabolous. Thus far, fellow Brooklyn rapper, Maino, has been the only rapper who has visited Shmurda. “I had a visit from one rapper. Maino came and showed me some love. He’s trying to get me out, too,” reflected the Epic-signed rapper.
Should other Hip-Hop artists show more support to Bobby Shmurda? Sound off below in the comment section.
(AllHipHop News) This weekend is the 15th annual BET Awards, and countless stars are headed to Los Angeles for the big event. One notable rapper will not be in attendance. Maybach Music Group founder Rick Ross will still be behind bars in Georgia after being arrested for assault, kidnapping, and battery.
According to TMZ, Rozay’s absence in L.A. is costing him a lot of money. The website reports:
According to our sources, Ross is losing out on all sorts of deals, including $80,000 for a party appearance and $50,000 for a club appearance.
He’s also forfeiting some big money … $30,000 for a private jet from ATL to LAX, and $60,000 for a mansion rental.
Ross was denied bail by a Fayette County Superior Court judge this week. He will have to remain in jail until at least his next court appearance on July 1. The “Hustlin” performer is also facing a separate misdemeanor drug charge in the same county.
(AllHipHop News) Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda was already facing multiple charges stemming from a 2014 arrest in Manhattan. The Epic Records signee has now been hit with an additional charge.
A court hearing yesterday (June 25) featured the prosecution announcing Shmurda was re-arrested on Tuesday for possession of a “sharpened metal instrument” while incarcerated at Rikers Island jail. The “Hot N*gga” rhymer now has another separate felony charge for promoting prison contraband.
Shmurda and members of his GS9 crew were arrested last December. The 20-year-old born Ackquille Jean Pollard faces gang conspiracy, weapons possession, and reckless endangerment charges.
That trial is set to begin on October 5. Prosecutors have recommended an eight year sentence for Bobby. The contraband case will be tried separately in The Bronx which is the jurisdiction for Rikers.
(AllHipHop News) It has been a tough week for rap stars. First Diddy, then Rick Ross, and now Nipsey Hussle has been arrested. The 29-year-old rapper was detained in Burbank, California on Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Times reports the Crenshaw representative was stopped for a traffic violation around 11 pm. Burbank police discovered Nipsey had an outstanding warrant for driving with a suspended license.
Nipsey reportedly gave the officers permission to search his vehicle. He was then taken into custody after police discovered a codeine bottle without a label. The “Feelin’ Myself” rapper could not produce a prescription for the medication. Codeine is often used to make sizzurp (aka purple drank).
According to police, Nipsey (born Ermias Asghedom) was arrested for suspicion of possessing a controlled substance and the outstanding warrant. He was later released after posting $1,000 bail.
Delivering a lyrical style that combines a dedicated flow with raw talent, Don Choo of Oy Boyz Records releases the official visuals for his latest single.

The track was produced by 8Trix Music who has produced for the likes of T.I., Future, Lil Wayne, and many more. “Boston George” will be highlighted on the forthcoming Oy Boyz compilation project entitled OYMINATI, which is set to release later this summer.
Anything produced by rising PTown VA rapper, Zack Morris, is intended to make you have a good time. No this isn’t Saved By the Bell in the 90’s. With his latest video, “Turn The Lights Off (TTLO)” is the epitome of the evergrowing “turn up music” which artists & fans have now made the soundtrack of the summer. The Visually Inklined directed visual speaks volumes far past the capacity of any written description. Take a peep. TTLO. Turn up!

(AllHipHop News) J. Cole is one entertainer that really does a lot to show love to his fans. For the third year in a row, the North Carolina native offered fans the chance to attend his “Dollar And A Dream Tour” for only $1. But the Roc Nation artist went even beyond that for one specific follower.
Back in 2013, Cole promised a high school student that he would attend her graduation if she made it into a four-year university. The young woman achieved that goal, and Cole kept his promise.

Jasmine Jae it is a pleasure to have you do this interview with AllHipHop.com !!! How are you doing ? Please introduce yourself to those who may not be familiar with you ! Where are you from and who is Jasmine Jae ?
Hey there! I’m a English adult actress/performer from the United Kingdom. A tall, slim, busty brunette with killer eyes and insatiable lips. I’ve been gracing your TV and other screens for around 3 years in various states of undress, doing all those things you wish your wife or girlfriend would do!
How did you get into the adult film industry ?
I had a chance encounter with a well known male performer, Keiran Lee – it’s all his fault lol! He suggested I would be great as an adult actress due to my looks and sexual appetite. After careful thought I decided to take the plunge with Keiran in a scene for Brazzers and haven’t looked back since.
Do people approach you often about getting into the industry ? From your perspective how is it for men versus women in p### ?
Yeah I get asked for advice all the time. It’s easier for girls to get into the industry but harder for them to remain in demand depending on their look, attitude and performance on set. For guys is tends to be more difficult for them to get in with companies as producers tend to stick to their go-to, reliable guys but if a guy does well and is a consistently good performer then he will work regularly and for a long time. Attitude, commitment and, of course, performance goes a long way.
What are the things you like most and like least about your line of work?
Well I love the sex obviously! But also the travel, meeting some awesome people from all walks of life and being my own boss. The bitchiness and politics can get you down, especially for someone like me who has been successful in the industry – there is always someone wanting to drag you down – but other than that I think the industry is pretty great.
What makes for a good sex scene / sexual experience for you ? What turns you on ?
Whether I am working with a guy or girl, for it to be a truly great scene, there has to be chemistry. I love a guy who is eager to please and finds me sexy and who gives back as much as I give him rather than just going through the motions of position 1, position 2 etc. And for girls it is always a better scene when the girl actually likes having sex with girls. There are too many girls who obviously don’t find sex with girls a turn on but just do it to take the money, which really bugs me.
I know p### actresses have lists people they like to work with – whether it’s because of chemistry, personality or looks. If you have one who’s #1 on your list (male or female) ? Is or was there a particular person you preferred to work with more than others ? If so why ?
My favourite guy to work with is my husband Ryan Ryder. Apart from the obvious, he is a great performer and has never given me a bad scene. I also love working with Keiran Lee, Danny D, Ian Scott, Mike Angelo, juan lucho and chad white. I’m in the USA at the moment filming for the first time so hopefully I will have more names to add to that list soon! In terms of girls, Lexi Lowe, Samantha Bentley, Sienna Day, Anissa Kate, Chanel Preston & Dahlia Sky would be on top of my list.
Let’s talk a little about the business of the adult film industry… With the emergence of free p### does it affect how you make money ? Has it changed the adult film industry ?
Having been in the industry for a relatively short period of time, and as a performer rather than producer, I can’t really comment on the effect of the tube sites on the industry in a detailed manner. I can only go by what I hear from other p### veterans in that it has crushed a large proportion of producers and distributors. I have experienced companies reducing in number but I am lucky in that I have been able to work consistently for the past three years and seem to get busier rather than slower.
Is there more money from doing dvds and/or scenes with other professional websites or doing it on their own website or webcam ?
I think one thing drives the other. If you are a successful, well known p### star, working for the major companies, you generally benefit from a high profile and generate a dedicated fan following. This then drives your own personal website and webcam sales.
If you had to name one guy/girl, alive or dead, that you would sleep with, who would you pick ? They can be from any time in history. Make it interesting !
Tupac Shakur – I reckon he would have been a great f**k!
What do you think of the fascination with Hip-Hop and the adult film industry ? Nowadays we’re seeing more pornstars in music videos and things like that. Strip club culture is seen in a different light now than it was 10 years ago. How do you feel about the relationship between the two ?
I think anything that helps others see ‘P### Stars’ as real people and p### as a legitimate industry is great. If this is through hip hop videos, TV documentaries and other media channels then that’s awesome.
Like Hip-Hop, the adult film industry has created a lot of opportunities for adult film stars to branch off into other areas of entertainment. Sasha Grey, Lisa Ann to name a few. Are there other opportunities that p### has brought to you outside of the industry ? Are there things you’d want to pursue outside of adult entertainment ?
At the moment I am enjoying being in front of the camera and don’t have any plans to branch into other things outside of the industry. I have a first class honours degree in business management and marketing and was a marketing manager for many years so I would probably do something along those lines, but my to-do list for my current venture of p### is way too long to start thinking of other things just yet.
When you’re on set, how much of it is spontaneous ? Do you always give your all in a scene or are there days where “it’s just work” ?
I always, always give my absolute best in a scene. You’re only as good as your last scene so I am never complacent or lazy. At the end of the day, the producer has invested money in you and trusts you to do what you were booked to do so it is only fair and right to give it your all. Yes, you don’t always work with people you click with but that is where your talent as a performer and a professional comes in and sets apart the good and the great performers. I challenge anyone to look at my scenes and spot the ones where maybe I wasn’t feeling great, the chemistry wasn’t there Etc – you won’t find one because I am proficient in what I do and I care that all my scenes turn out the best way possible.
Would it be reasonable to say that p### has kept the Kleenex industry in business ?
Haha absolutely, and the baby wipe industry too. I always find it humorously ironic that I use baby wipes to wipe c## off me rather than on an actual baby.
Tell us more about yourself Jasmine, how would you define your sex appeal ? What do you feel is your best asset or trait that makes you the sexiest ?
Well I think the fact that I actually enjoy the on screen sex and sex in general shines through. I am a sexual, insatiable woman and that is always something that fans comment on when they watch my movies. My best asset? Hmmm most people would say my t### or my slim, athletic body but I would say my eyes – after all, eyes are the window to the soul.
Do you ever approach or are you more old fashioned and like to be approached ? If approached what does a man need to know before he approaches Jasmine Jae ? Would you ever date a fan or would that be creepy ?
I always liked to be approached. If a guy was approaching me then he would just need to be understated, polite and charming. Arrogance, corny chat up lines or presumptuous comments would be an instant turn off. I don’t think I would date a fan as I would like to meet someone as a blank canvas who didn’t have preconceived ideas about me and just want to f**k me. But that is a generalisation which isn’t always right so I would never say never.
Can we expect to see some new material from Jasmine Jae anytime soon ? What do you have coming up ?
I have a ton of scenes in the bank waiting to be released including Brazzers, Digital Playground, Killergram, c## louder and new sensations. I’m in America at the moment so expect plenty more scenes and movies to be added to this list!
Do you have any shout outs or anything you want to leave the fans with ? Where can we find more of your work or keep up to date with the beautiful Jasmine Jae ?
Just a massive thank you to all my fans for liking what I do. All updates on new scenes and my daily life can be found on my Twitter @_jasmine_jae and for webcam, Google my name and adultwork.com
Emerging metro Philly rapper Rich Quick was barely in elementary school when a young, bodacious Tupac Shakur emerged on the rap scene as a talented and troubled standout. Yet, like his more reflective and homage-paying peers, Rich Quick was forever changed when he discovered Tupac’s catalog and delved in deep.
June 16th marked what would have been Shakur’s 44th birthday, and it’s hard to imagine what the emcee and actor would think about the state of affairs in the tumultuous, racially-charged America of 2015. At the same time, Rich Quick releases “Searching For Tupac”, a lyrical video homage on the life of prolific rap icon Tupac from his birth within the Black Panther Party, through his rocky yet extremely successful music and film career, up until his untimely death.
It’s an impressive history lesson that Rich Quick delivers, and while we’re imagining, it’s hard to fathom what the outspoken and unfiltered Tupac would have thought about such a tribute from a seemingly non-threatening, White boy rapper. What is clear from the video is that Rich Quick is bonafide Tupac fan who delivers this biography in fact-packed, rhyme-form, driving attention away from both the well-known feud between he and The Notorious B.I.G and the many conspiracy theories surrounding his passing.
Being White in rap has always come with a good dose of the side-eye, unless one is named The Beastie Boys, Eminem, or any of a chosen few that have risen to nameworthy status within the genre. Machine Gun Kelly, Yelawolf, and Mackelmore are all still faring well in this so-called post-racial America. Admittedly, Hip Hop has become the universal voice of youth of all colors, backgrounds, and religions, leaving room for everyone in between. In a time of fugazis like Rachel Dolezal (and some say Iggy Azalea), Rich Quick seems to find a bridge over troubled waters via the life of an unlikely Black revolutionary. So what’s the big deal? WWTT? (What Would Tupac Think?) Sound off…

The official debut album from Team DAR’s “Energy GAWD” BLACK AX is finally upon us. Cower in its energetic excellence and blaze in amazement.
When you get Fetty Wap on a song these days, you know its going to take off. Take a look at this video from House Party called, “Squad or Nah,” that features the “Trap King”.
Rapper Manolo Rose has been making waves since his hit “Run Ricky Run” emerged in 2014 and set the streets on fire. However, he really became well known when his song “Dope Man” magically became Troy Ave’s “All About The Money.” A lot has happened since, but Manolo let it be known that he didn’t forget. In an exclusive freestyle he lets off a few lyrical shots at his adversary, drilling down on Troy Ave’s latest release. Check out the cypher as well as an interview where a frenetic Mr. Rose talks about New York Hip-Hop, Troy Ave and much more.
(AllHipHop News) Chicago native Vic Mensa recently became the newest artist to signed with Jay Z’s Roc Nation label. Vic is preparing to release his debut studio album Traffic later this year, but in the meantime the 22-year-old performer is hitting cities in California for the “Traffic Tour Part 1.”
While in Los Angeles, Vic stopped by Power 106’s The Cruz Show where the “U Mad” rapper freestyled for the radio program’s audience. Mensa rhymed over some classic beats from the West Coast legend Ice Cube, and he also shared his thoughts on the music business.
“I think there’s a lot of stale sh*t in this industry, but there’s also a lot of fresh avenues for us to take sh*t,” stated Vic. “I think n*ggas my age, the youth right now, is going crazy. We can really make this whatever we want to make it.”
Watch Vic Mensa’s freestyle below.
(AllHipHop News) News recently broke that Rick Ross will have to remain behind bars in Fayette County, Georgia until his next court date on July 1. Fellow southern rapper Boosie took issue with the fact the MMG boss was denied bail, but a judge gave the suspect in the deadly Charleston Church Shooting a bond.
Boosie posted a picture of Ross on his Instagram page with the following caption:
Free Rozay denied my boy bail but this p*ssy motherf*cker killed 9 people & u give him a [bond], shows what this world thinks of us successful black men they did me the same thing denied me bail on he say she say I HATE YOU B*TCHES WITH A PASSION
After Dylann Roof confessed to killing 9 people at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Charleston County Magistrate James Gosnell Jr. gave the 21-year-old white supremacist a $1 million bond for possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. It has been reported only a Circuit Court Judge can set bond for murder charges. Roof remains in jail.
NBC News is also reporting Gosnell was reprimanded by the South Carolina Supreme Court in 2005 for using a racial slur in court. The judge apparently told a Black defendant in 2003, “There are four kinds of people in this world: black people, white people, rednecks, and n*ggers.”
Ross and his bodyguard Nadrian James are accused of holding Jonathan Zamudio against his will at gunpoint. Zamudio is said to have suffered injuries to his neck, jaw, and mouth from being physically assaulted and pistol whipped. The “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)” rhymer was arrested in the same jurisdiction earlier this month for a misdemeanor drug charge.

Our favorite attention seeking rapper, 50 Cent, is no stranger to beefs and social media pettiness. He has gotten into it with everyone from Rick Ross to Diddy and beyond. Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson asks a great question: Is 50 that powerful and intimidating that he can go at anyone without a care in the world? What are your thoughts?
Drake and The Game have been promoting their collaboration heavily on social media and now its here. “100” shows the artists as they delve into all of their first-world rapper problems. If this is any indication of Documentary 2, we’re looking good for the summer.
