Will Smith Will Not Be In The New ‘Men In Black’ Film
Just like the Bad Boys franchise, Men in Black films can’t be brought up without mentioning Will Smith. In case you didn’t know a fourth sequel is being added to the franchise, but unfortunately Smith will not be involved.

Even though he won’t be apart of Men In Black, the Philly native has other projects he is working on.

Even though it has been two decades since Eazy-E’s death, there is still speculation that he contracted AIDS at the hands of someone who had malicious intent against him. A rapper was signed to Eazy’s label, Ruthless Records, has now come forward supporting this claims but with more details.
A rapper named Frost sat down for an interview with Siccness.net and said that Eazy was given tainted needles while receiving acupuncture. He says that the N.W.A frontman was in a 4-wheeler accident and underwent acupuncture to treat his injuries.
“They gave him tainted needles with acupuncture,” Frost said. “Needles that tainted him, they gave it to him.”

Frost also implied that the man behind this was Suge Knight.
“I don’t wanna say that name ’cause it’s the devil’s name, but another person in Rap, if you know you’re history of Rap, calls him the devil. If you know the history of Rap, West Coast Rap, you know who I’m saying. I was told even in my last conversation from Eazy not to even talk to that man. Not only that, but I think that they really had a stronghold of giving him tainted needles with the AIDS virus in him with acupuncture.”

Star Responds To The Game Threatening To Attack Him, Blasts DJ Envy (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) During his latest interview with The Breakfast Club, The Game mentioned that he once was tempted to assault radio host Star over something that took place with DJ Envy. The rapper/reality show star said, “I told him, ‘I’ll break your jaw dude. Envy is my dog. I’m still gonna break his jaw when I see him.”
[ALSO READ: The Game Talks ‘The Documentary 2’ Being A Classic & Beefing With Other Artists (VIDEO)]
Star got wind of Game’s comments and fired back in a video blog. The Shot 97 personality claims he and Game have never met or spoken. Star went on to say the issues between the two actually have nothing to do with Envy.
“That’s not really what he’s tight about, and he is tight. An old associate of mine – and I’m gonna even say we became friends – Jimmy Henchman… Jimmy and I had tension once upon a time over that Aaliyah situation,” explained Star. “In fact, Jimmy Henchman is the only person to ever step to me about song effects I played when Aaliyah died.”
According to Star, he visited James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond’s office, and they were able to settle their differences. Rosemond, a convicted drug kingpin, was also Game’s manager during the height of his feud with 50 Cent and G-Unit. Apparently, Henchman wanted Game to appear on Star’s radio program at that time, but Star declined.

“At that particular point I said, ‘I don’t want to be responsible for something that pops off if this kid comes on my show and ignites something,'” added Star.
He continued, “I passed letting Game come on my show, and that’s what Game’s tight about. The fact the hater, Star, rejected him. It wasn’t so much because 50 and I were cool. I just felt The Game was a f*cking hot head who could have reignited this East Coast-West Coast feud that took down 2Pac and Biggie.”
Star later gives his side of the beef he has with DJ Envy, stating it stemmed from a conflict with Clear Channel. The outspoken internet celebrity said, “Envy’s tight because I never gave him sh*t. I gave him my d*ck to suck then. I give him my d*ck to suck now.”

Drake Discusses Meek Mill Battle & Quentin Miller Ghostwriting Allegations
(AllHipHop News) It has been over a year since Drake has done an interview for a magazine cover story, but the OVO leader let down his guard for a new article in The Fader. The lengthy piece included the most talked about Hip Hop story of the summer – Drizzy’s battle with Meek Mill. The “Back To Back” rhymer also finally addressed the Quentin Miller ghostwriting allegations.
[ALSO READ: Meek Mill Addresses Drake Feud In Snippet From ‘Dreamchasers 4’ (VIDEO)]
On finding out about the Quentin Miller reference tracks leaking:
I was at a charity kickball game—which we won, by the way—and my brother called me. He was just like, “I don’t know if you’re aware, but, yo, they’re trying to end us out here. They’re just spreading, like, propaganda. Where are you? You need to come here.” So we all circled up at the studio, and sat there as Flex went on the air, and these guys flip-flopped [about how] they were gonna do this, that, and the third.
On Meek’s perceived lack of strategy:
You guys are gonna leave this for me to do? This is how you want to play it? You guys didn’t think this through at all—nobody? You guys have high-ranking members watching over you. Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to engage in this and not have something? You’re gonna engage in a conversation about writing music, and delivering music, with me? And not have anything to put forth on the table?
On his “Back To Back” response track:
I was like, “I’m gonna probably just finish this.” And I know how I have to finish it. This has to literally become the song that people want to hear every single night, and it’s gonna be tough to exist during this summer when everybody wants to hear [this] song that isn’t necessarily in your favor.
On the reference tracks and ghostwriting accusations:
I need, sometimes, individuals to spark an idea so that I can take off running. I don’t mind that. And those recordings—they are what they are. And you can use your own judgment on what they mean to you…
There’s not necessarily a context to them. And I don’t know if I’m really here to even clarify it for you…
If I have to be the vessel for this conversation to be brought up—you know, God forbid we start talking about writing and references and who takes what from where—I’m OK with it being me…
It’s just, music at times can be a collaborative process, you know? Who came up with this, who came up with that—for me, it’s like, I know that it takes me to execute every single thing that I’ve done up until this point. And I’m not ashamed.

Lyor Cohen Responds To Dame Dash Calling Him A “Culture Vulture”
(AllHipHop News) Last year Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash was on a personal mission to call out individuals in the music business he believed to be “culture vultures.” Dame’s list of people he accused of using Hip Hop simply for profit included Lyor Cohen, the former head of Def Jam Recordings.
[ALSO READ: Dame Dash: Lyor Cohen Stop Trying To Rape My Culture (VIDEO)]
“I want him to stop trying to rape my culture. Go make some money with some other people,” Dame said at the time. “Stop having your agenda be Hip Hop.”
The business mogul also claimed Cohen was the cause of the fall of Roc-A-Fella. Dame challenged the media to question him and other label heads such as Kevin Liles, Julie Greenwald, and Todd Moscowitz about their roles in changing Hip Hop.
The longtime industry insider has finally given a rare interview. Cohen was a guest on the Rap Radar podcast, and the current 300 Entertainment (Fetty Wap, Young Thug) executive addressed Dame referring to him as a “culture vulture.”
Cohen said:
It actually doesn’t bother me. It would bother me if it came from a credible source. If it’s a credible source, then we can have a conversation and actually have a discussion. If someone thinks something about me that I may have done to offend them or hurt them or do something they misunderstand, then we’ll have a dialogue. We’ll communicate and get to an understanding and move on, or not. But I can’t give any light to that. It’s a clown right now.
