Young Guru Helps Introduce 8i’s Breakthrough 3D Video Medium (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) As more of the world is transferred into the digital realm, video technology continues to become an integral part of our lives.

“You have to keep inventing, and you have to keep showing people why you’re here,” says Guru in an 8i promotional video. “It’s about who’s gonna rock the spot tonight.”

8i 3D Video is different from ordinary video where the viewer’s perspective is fixed. It transforms standard video recordings into visceral experiences which allows individuals to move freely around performances. Creators have the ability to democratize VR content by simply using a set of 2 or more cameras.

3D Video is not a simulation. It’s based on digital video input not CG modeling. Users experience meeting and interacting with real people in digital space.

8i lets you view 3D Video content on iPhones, tablets and other mobile devices. The company is providing people the opportunity to get a sense of the technology at 8i.com. Or download 8i VR and move around in virtual reality on Oculus Rift.

It was all good until Brandon Jennings decided to give his opinion on the Meek Mill vs Drake Beef. It seems that Jennings became team OVO after Meek Mill commented on one of his post saying that rappers had to do more than wear a Meek t-shirt to be supportive. Since then Jennings has gone on all kinds of rants about how he is #teamDrake. The Omeeka Hive let him have it, causing him to shut down/ “give away” his social media accounts. TMZ Sports caught up with him first. Jennings said,

“His career just got started, and it’s already done….. Meek Mill is corny…. it’s over.”

We didn’t really need Brandon’s commentary, but it is funny how Meek’s fans tore him apart.

It looks like Iggy Azalea has gone back under the knife! We hope she doesn’t go too far like another female rapper we won’t name. Earlier this year Iggy admitted to getting breast implants, and now she’s admitting to having work done on her face. Maybe she had work done on her nose. Although Iggy continues to get various procedures, she urges teens not to rush into plastic surgery, and to actually think it out. Do you think the facial surgeries have made Iggy more attractive? Hmmmmm maybe she will say she got butt enhancement shots next.

CyHi the Prynce is firing shots at his G.O.O.D Music boss Kanye West.

CyHi has dropped nine mixtapes and has yet to have a debut album hit stores, which has him livid. He blew off some steam on his new track “Elephant in the Room” where he blasts West for leaving him out of the spotlight.

“Hey Ye, do you know what it feel like?/To really be signed to you in real life?/Have you ever wrote a song/ And you know you about to say something wrong but you still right?,” he raps.  He continues “While you’re in your little Lambo on Sunset/I’m riding with a gun next to me/And it sounds like a little boy playing with a drum set/And it hold a hundred rounds/Cause when you come around n—s quick to gun you down/You’ll be found on the other side of town somewhere, n####.”

Prynce also has bad blood with Def Jam, who reportedly dropped him, and had no problems rapping about shooting up the Def Jam offices and kidnapping the employees.
