(AllHipHop News) Don’t cross the The BasedGod or he may place a curse on you. Most people may not believe that the California rapper has the power to hurt your career, but NBA teams seem to be superstitious enough not to test it.
After Lil B jinxed MVP candidate James Harden for “stealing” his cooking dance, the Houston Rockets were eliminated from the playoffs. The final game of the series included Harden setting a league record for turnovers in a playoff game (13), and he missed 9-of-11 shots.
The Rockets were likely to lose to the Golden State Warriors anyway, but some basketball fans began asking their favorite teams to show love to the The BasedGod. The Atlanta Hawks asked for a reprieve from the Lil B curse before their series with the Cleveland Cavaliers ended, and within the last week several other NBA franchises began following B on Twitter.
Don’t forget Lil B cursed Oklahoma Thunder star Kevin Durant a few years ago. Since then, the All-Star forward’s squad lost in the finals to the Miami Heat, and he suffered an injury-plague 2014-15 season. However, Durant did pick up the MVP trophy in 2014.
(AllHipHop News) Should white rappers be allowed to use the n-word? Former White Girl Mob member V-Nasty openly used the term, and she was essentially ran out the business. DJ Smallz Eyes asked another Caucasian rhymer about the topic – Cash Money signee Caskey.
“I stay out of the debate, because honestly I don’t give a f*ck what anybody says. I don’t give a f*ck if anybody cares what I say in my dialogue,” said Caskey. “Among me and my homies, that word gets used, and we’re black and white. Everybody makes such a big deal about it. I don’t even care enough to get in the debate, so I just f*cking avoid it. But it’s like f*ck that sh*t. They’re just words.”
The Orlando based performer signed to Birdman’s Cash Money Records in 2012. Caskey has released several mixtapes including 2013’s The Transient Classics, 2014’s Black Sheep, and 2015’s The Lost Files.
Natasha Fisher gives us her take on Future’s “F*ck Up Some Commas” record. Unlike the original DJ Spinz & Southside-produced record that features twisted synth lines, the 19-year-old Canadian songster strings only her guitar to the chords giving listeners the ultimate acoustic experience. Her soft sultry voice accompanied with the guitar make for an eclectic remake of the popular Top 40 hit.

Embodying all the credentials of a certified hustler, Northern Virginia native and tattoo-artist turned recording artist Tommy Tattz bursts back on the scene with the follow up single to well received street anthem “Grinding” featuring Memphis underground rap legend Project Pat. Entitled“Pooty Tang”, the XXXProductionz (Kid Ink, 2 Chainz, BoB, Juicy J, T.I. etc.)produced cut is perfect for the club but works just the same at a house party or cookout. Stream the new track distributed via Fatlyfe Entertainment after the break and look out for the remix dropping soon.
Action Bronson joins the list of rappers like Tyga that have been the subject of protests and petitions for their lyrical content.
This time the New York-based rapper has been targeted by over 25,000 people that don’t want to see him perform at Toronto’s NXNE festival in June. Click here to see the online boycott.
The protest, started by a woman named Erica Shiner, states the following:
We urge you to stop your support for Action Bronson performing at Yonge and Dundas Square as part of the NXNE music festival on June 21st 2015. The content of his music glorifies raping and murdering women. It is completely inappropriate that an artist like this be hosted at a venue owned and operated by the City of Toronto, as part of a festival which is funded by various levels of government. It demonstrates that NXNE, the City of Toronto, and Vans Footwear turn a blind eye to rape culture and violence against women. He should not be given a voice through the support of any of the aforementioned groups.
Please refer to the petition for a sample of his content and some personal messages from others who have signed the petition. The petition specifically cites songs “Consensual Rape” and a video where Bronson eats his meal off a dead woman before rolling her up in a carpet.
Bronson fired back on social media and blasted his “haters” in a fashion fans are accustomed it.
NXNE organizers released their own statement in support of Action Bronsom:
On Tuesday, May 26 a group of concerned Torontonians created a petition to remove Action Bronson from NXNE’s lineup on Sunday, June 21 at Yonge-Dundas Square. The petition has spawned a passionate online discussion. The Festival would like to address this topic.
Action Bronson performed at Yonge-Dundas Square as part of NXNE in 2012 with Killer Mike, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. It was a positive concert that was described by reviewers as “laid back”, “a lot of fun” and a “world class hip-hop showcase”. NXNE is confident the lineup on June 21 at Yonge-Dundas Square will make for another enjoyable day of music in a public space.
“NXNE will also present a number of rap artists at various venues, such as Tink and Kate Tempest, who have be lauded for the undisguised feminist viewpoints in their music.” says Sara Peel, Managing Director of NXNE. ” “That being said, in the interest of moving forward in a positive manner, we are engaging in discussion with our community about this important issue, and looking to provide opportunities for concerned voices to be heard.”
NXNE believes each and every one of these artists have the right to express their views through music, but those views belong to them and them alone. Those who are offended by an artist are invited to check out other Festival showcases, as NXNE will present hundreds of artists this June – some may be considered controversial, but most are just plain fun.
Bronson is also receiving support from fans and a counter-petition has been launched to “stop feminist extremists from censoring Action Bronson’s free speech and his performance at NXNE.”
Dimillio delivers a catchy new record from his vault titled, “You Should Know”. The artist looks to make the song impactful as he recruits a few buzzing artists in Rich The Kid & Royce Rizzy. Craze provides the production to allow Rich The Kid and everyone else to flow effortlessly over the new offering.
Miami’s D-Shep is truly guilty of a C.W.D. in his new video “Hate Me” – that’s Counting While Driving! As footage rolls from Shep’s appearances, tours and every day life, the Dade County native counts his crisp blessings as he confidently states over the O.Horn-produced track:
“Money talks and everything else is just so irrelevant / My money talks and not one word of it is embellishment”
“Hate Me” appears on Identity Crisis, which is now available for purchase on iTunes.

Drake has picked a side and that side is does not appear to be with Cash Money, as the OVO-CEO has dropped a new freestyle stating his position.
Check out what he stating in a new verse at the Detroit stop of his “Jungle Tour”:
“Had n##### tell me to my face how we were family and how they loved me; Why they was skimming off the budget; Now when I see ‘em [allegedly Cash Money], they’re the ones acting funny”
There are a couple possible people Drake could be talking about but most people have speculated that its against Cash Money. Definitely not Lil Wayne. Jas Prince, very unlikely.

(AllHipHop News) Tab “Turk” Virgil has already claimed one victory in his attempt to earn back royalty and publishing payments from Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams’ Cash Money Records. The New Orleans rapper won a default motion against his former label earlier this month.
Turk is now seeking information from Cash Money’s parent company Universal Music Group to help determine how much he should be rewarded from the suit.
According to a source with firsthand knowledge of the case, Turk’s legal team has issued subpoenas to UMG and Universal Music Publishing Group in order to get access to accounting on the artists’ master recordings and publishing connected to Cash Money.
In the original court documents, Turk requested at least $1.3 million, but the judge could award him a higher amount. It is suspected Cash Money owes Turk payments regarding over 100 recordings with the imprint. The parties are scheduled to return to court in July.
Between 1997 and 2001, Turk released several singles as a member of Cash Money’s Hot Boys including “We On Fire” and “I Need A Hot Girl.” It is estimated the group has sold over 2 million albums to date.
As a solo artist, Turk released his debut studio album Young & Thuggin’ via Cash Money. He also appeared on records by other CMR acts Juvenile, Lil Wayne, and Big Tymers.
AllHipHop.com contacted representatives of Universal Music Group and Universal Music Publishing Group. As of press time, UMG declined to comment and UMPG has not responded to the matter. Turk and his attorney Patrick Costello declined to comment on this story.
Houston rappers Sauce Walka (of The Sauce Twinz) and Sosaman, sit down with DJ Smallz and explain the origin of their word “sauce” and its meaning to them and reveal how they feel about others using the same word.
We haven’t heard from DEF Bananas since the release of the audio for “Turn The Lights Down” near the end of 2014. Today, the New Jersey trio properly known as DEF Bananas is back and they are equipped with optically pleasing visuals to accompany the in-house produced single. Infused with a fresh, house-inspired sound, “Turn The Lights Down” captures a high-spirited vibe that would be a fantastic addition to any party-filled night.
Nyzzy Nyce is dropping off the visuals to the new track “Further” that is off of his new mixtape ” Lost in Los Angeles” that is due out on June 16th. The Los Angeles implant teamed up with Platinum Sellers to produce the feel good track.
