A Fresno, CA teen’s post featuring Eminem’s lyrics led to his arrest, according to reports. After the 15-year-old posted lyrics from Em’s song “I’m Back,” police were prompted to conduct a search on his home. Guns and ammunition were found, which resulted in the teen’s arrest.
He was arrested for making terroristic threats, which is a felony, and disrupting school activity. His school, San Joaquin Memorial High School, was closed the day of the search.
On the song, the Shady Records rep raps “I take seven kids from Columbine, stand ’em all in a line / Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine / A MAC-11 and it oughtta solve the problem of mine / And that’s a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time / I’m just like Shady and just as crazy as the world was over this whole Y2K thing.”
It was not only the lyrics but the additional content that the teen added that tipped the police off.
“I want to read that posting to you because part of the posting that was placed on Instagram is part of a rap song called ‘Rap God’ by Eminem, but you’ll see that this 15-year-old student added to that post some of his own words which is what caused the concern,” Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said during a press conference.
Dyer mistakenly said the lyrics were from “Rap God” due to the song sharing the same line as “I’m Back”: “I take seven kids from Columbine, stand ’em all in a line / Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine.”
After finding a replica AK-47 Airsoft rifle in plain sight, police returned with a search and found a .357 Magnum revolver, a 12-gauge shotgun, a handgun, ammunition and a bulletproof vest.
The teen’s father is also facing a negligent storage charge.
The teen claims that his computer was hacked and he did not make the post but he also allegedly told police that he deleted the Instagram post.

(AllHipHop News) After all the excitement over the Meek Mill versus Drake situation, it seems rap fans are thirsty for more back-and-forth action among performers. So much so, listeners were quick to speculate that the new Hit-Boy song “Bussin’ Moves” may have been a subliminal diss to Drake just because of the two artists that appear on the track.
“Bussin’ Moves” features longtime Drake rival Pusha T and reported Drake ghostwriter Quentin Miller. The fact the two spitters were on the same record led to suggestions it was a way for King Push to send another shot at Drizzy (he famously called out Drake and Lil Wayne on “Exodus 23:1”).
However, Hit-Boy confirmed with Genius that there was no foul play involved in the combination of Pusha and Miller. The producer of platinum songs such as “Drop The World” and “N*ggas in Paris” explained Push’s bars were originally supposed to be for a cut on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer.
Hit-Boy noted:
This Pusha verse is actually from the original “Clique,” by Jay Z, Kanye and Big Sean that I produced. It was supposed to be on “Clique,” so this verse is three-years-old, but it’s f*cking ridiculous, flawless bars. Jus the flow and the way he’s in the pocket and the attitude about it. I threw the Pusha verse on that motherf*cka, then wrote the hook to it and then I did my verse. I felt like “Bussin’ Moves” was just a concept that made sense for how Pusha set it off.
Hit-Boy also addressed Quentin Miller’s placement on the song:
I’ve known Quentin since 2011, that’s been my homie since then, we’ve always communicated. We’ve been making records for basically this whole year. Way before the Drake sh*t, we were already connecting. We had already made a bunch of records with his WDNG CRSHRS group and I had made some solo stuff for him and we just been building.
He recorded this a couple of months ago, he probably did it end of June or mid-June. He recorded it for sure before the whole Drake thing.

(AllHipHop News) Miley Cyrus has already caught the wrath of Nicki Minaj, and now another rapper has some harsh words for the pop star. California’s Vince Staples blasted the “We Can’t Stop” singer for her comments about fellow West Coast emcee Kendrick Lamar.
“I don’t f*ck with Miley Cyrus. I don’t like what Miley Cyrus said about Kendrick Lamar. She needs to say sorry. It was very salty,” Staples told i-D. “Hasn’t she got some Disney money to spend? She should be very happy. I think she confused him with someone else.”
Staples was referring to Cyrus’ interview with Marie Claire where she stated, “Kendrick Lamar sings about LSD and he’s cool. I do it and I’m a druggie w####.”
Those comments did not sit well with Staples. He pointed out that Cyrus likely confused Kendrick with A$AP Rocky. The Harlem rapper has a song titled “L$D” on his latest album At. Long. Last. ASAP.
“Kendrick Lamar doesn’t have a song about LSD – that’s A$AP Rocky. So is it either you don’t know what you’re talking about or is it all black people look alike? Either one is fine with me but shut the f*ck up Miley Cyrus,” added Vince.

(AllHipHop News) The success of Straight Outta Compton has the Hip Hop community wondering what the next major biopic from the culture will be. Fans have suggested the stories of 2Pac, Death Row, The Geto Boys, 2 Live Crew, Wu-Tang Clan, and others would make great feature films. But what about a movie covering Run-DMC?
In an impromptu interview, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels was asked about the possibility of DMC, Rev. Run, and Jam Master Jay’s career being depicted in theaters.
“Me personally, I wouldn’t want to do a Run-DMC movie,” McDaniels told AllHipHop’s Chuck Creekmur. “People always say, ‘Why D?’ Because you already got an N.W.A and Biggie movie. My Hip Hop is not doing what everybody else did.”
DMC revealed he is working on a Broadway version of his life story. He also talked about his comic book series. Darryl Makes Comics is the rap pioneer’s independent publishing house created along with Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez and Riggs Morales.
Watch DMC’s interview below.
(AllHipHop News) Traditionally the Bronx, New York is cited as the original home of Hip Hop, but one of the pioneers of the culture believes another area of NYC may not be getting its proper due. Members of the Crash Crew spoke with Village Voice, and Barry Bistro offered his thoughts on the role Harlem played in the rise of Hip Hop.
“It’s funny because the Bronx gets credited for creating rap, but simultaneously it was happening in Harlem,” said Bistro. “But because [DJ Kool] Herc and [Afrika] Bambaataa were famous, they get all the credit. They were the first one to cut up records.”
Some of the fellow Crash Crew members spoke on the timeline as well. La Shubee countered Bistro’s claim that the Bronx was not the first borough to birth Hip Hop.
“The first party we went to was St. Anne’s and we had this little tape recorder and were trying to suck up Flash’s rocking the beatbox. That was ’77. But early Harlem Hip Hop came after the Bronx,” stated Shubee.
“That was in ’73 and ’75 was when Harlem first got it,” added Reggie.
Bistro replied, “But everybody was DJing.”
The Crash Crew (aka Disco Dave and the Force of 5 MC’s) was signed to the legendary Sugar Hills Records. Their discography includes the 1984 self-titled album which consisted of the songs “Breaking Bells” “On the Radio,” and “We Want To Rock.”
(AllHipHop News) Scarface has been very clear in recent weeks he does not want to have anything to do with the Geto Boys any longer. After first saying he doesn’t like any of his old group’s music, Face has now shot down the idea of making a biopic about the legendary Houston rap crew.
In part two of his interview with The Unlikely Show, Scarface explained why he has no plans to take the story of the Geto Boys to the big screen.
“Not me. Why would I?” asked Face. “Then it looks like a motherf*cker’s biting. If Straight Outta Compton came out, then a motherf*cker did… See we’re from all different neighborhoods. I can’t make a ‘straight outta 5th Ward,’ because I’m not from there.”
When hosts Chuck Creekmur and Nida Khan suggested the Geto Boys movie could be named something else, Face replied, “You should have did it first. Otherwise you’re f*cking biting.”
Scarface’s latest album Deeply Rooted hits stores today, September 4.
Watch Scarface’s interview below.
Post Malone has one of the hottest songs on the internet with “White Iverson.” But its something else that’s circulating online that has some rap fans upset with Post. Will a YouTube video titled “industry plant post malone caught saying n-gga” end the still rising rapper’s career? Remember what happened to V-Nasty and her White Girl Mob for using the n-word? What do you think about the clip?
UPDATE: Turns out Post did an interview with The Breakfast Club recently, and Charlamagne Tha God tried to get him to say the n-word by singing the hook to Terror Squad’s song “Lean Back.” Malone refused and replied, “I can’t. Y’all trying to get me in trouble.”
