When Stalley’s single “Always Into Something” dropped last year, the West Coast style track surprised many. Now, thanks to the L.A. Leakers, the official remix gets verses from Cali rappers Kurupt and Casey Veggies. Ty Dolla Sign still supplies the chorus for the remix as well. Check out “Always Into Something” below.
If you’ve been hip to Rae Sremmurd’s turnt style of music, then you shouldn’t be surprised that this southern rap duo has the crazy personality to back it up. ESPN capitalized off of that by bringing the Mississippi natives on the show “Highly Questionable” for a interview.With Slim Jim constantly saying January 1st 2014 rocking a pair of big ass goggles, and Swae Lee moving wildly throughout the interview, you could say that the two appearing on the show was hilarious to say the least. During the interview, Rae Sremmurd talks about partying in Miami, being homeless (and throwing parties), and different athletes they’ve acquired attention from. Check out the interview below.
The world is getting turned inside out! Everything is crazy and the inmates are running the asylum! The latest on the streets is that Chief Keef and Selena Gomez have made a love connection. Don’t believe me? Lookie here:
This would be more revolutionary than French Montana bagging a Kardashian.
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
Justin…real tears.
We almost lost the Based God.
Lil B has a lot to be thankful for after a 15-year old neighbor alerted the rapper of a fire that nearly killed the rapper.
Mateo Ysmael, 15, saw the flames engulf a Bay-area duplex and alerted the rapper of the potentially fatal danger right after he saved his stepmother, siblings and pets.
The fire eventually caused over $350,000 in estimated damages.
Lil B was reportedly sleep as the fire overtook the property. “I’ve got to thank the Contra Costa Fire folks for doing such an amazing job keeping it contained,” Lil B told The Contra Costa Times. “They were extraordinary. It could’ve been so much worse than it was. Like I said, I’m grateful to be alive.”
The blaze was likely sparked by an electrical malfunction on Thursday.
If you weren’t hip, yesterday was Aaliyah’s birthday. If she was still on Earth, this young talent would’ve only been 36, and probably making some dope music as one of R&B’s respected OG’s. Fortunately for us, artists today are using their vocals to resurrect Aaliyah’s spirit through their music. Recently, singer Frank Ocean celebrated the beloved singer’s b-day by releasing a delicate cover of her single “At Your Best (You Are Love)”. With Ocean’s soft vocals touching an echoed keyboard instrumental, this is definitely something you’d want to play this Valentine’s day. There haven’t been any news on whether we’ll be seeing a follow up to Channel Orange soon, but keep your fingers crossed. Check out Frank Ocean’s cover below or if you want to peep it on Tumblr, click here.
It looks like all-out war right now. Funk master Flex ranted and Dip Set have not followed suit with a new diss over Biggie Smalls’ “Victory” beat.
Charles Hamilton has had a rough road in the rap game, but it would appear that the Harlem-bred rapper is on the road back.
He recently joined Instagram and made an interesting proclamation.
“The hype is real. Hello again. #rapgame #letsdothis #hiphop,” the rapper stated.
Nothing more was said and a website listed had no further information.
A few days ago, Hamilton jumpstarted his Twitter again.
I’m not fully sure what the hell Funk Master Flex thinks he’s doing, coming at Jay Z. Maybe this is a way for them all to get some hits on their web sites, but I’m not sure. There seems to be some sort of behind the scenes ploy to embarrass Jay going on? Again…I don’t know, but it sure seems strange to post private conversations on social media. Then again,this is 2015. Anything goes.
See it play out below.
OK. You win Daylyte. I’m going for the trolling overtime. Last year, he said he wanted to “f*ck the sh*t out of Diddy” and now he has another.
Here is the latest.
He says he wants to have sex with T.I. WHOMP WHOMP! In an interview with Vlad, he made the proclamation.
Like his counterpart Young Thug, DayLyte claims that he is unequivocally NOT GAY. He will just “suck a d**k” or two.
Right.
Sam Scarfo hit us with the official video for “Curb Servin” produced by Ty Fyffe, which appears on Sam Scarfo’s 5 Million Stories, now available on iTunes via Infamous Records.

People are all up in arms about Romeo (Master P’s sons) and his new white girl friend.
I don’t know why, but here are the images of her and him.
What the what is going on? The word on the street is that Kylie is pregnant and Tyga is the dad. Mind you, she is 17 and he is 25. This is a problem.
Peep what they are saying:
Kylie Jenner is reportedly pregnant, with sources close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star saying she is expecting a child with her rapper boyfriend.
A new report from In Touch Weekly claims that Kylie and boyfriend Tyga have been getting very serious, and that sources claim the 17-year-old may be pregnant.
Kylie is eight years younger than Tyga, who is 25. This has many fingers pointing to mom Kris Jenner, who is famously involved in her daughters’ reality television careers.
Celeb Dirty Laundry noted:
“Of course, blaming the lack of parental supervision is normal when 17-year-olds get pregnant, but in this case, it’s completely justified. Not only has Kris Jenner actively encouraged Kylie to date Tyga and other famous musicians and celebrities, but she’s been completely AWOL when Kylie has been jet-setting around the world with her 8-years-older boyfriend. What mother would let their still-teenage daughter go around with her 25-year-old boyfriend without any form of adult supervision?”
This is not the first time the rumors have circulated that Kylie Jenner is pregnant. A similar report emerged last month, prompting Kylie to take to social media to dispel the rumors.
“I’m not trying to become a rapper, I’m not getting married, & I’m not pregnant…” she tweeted.
That speculation was prompted when Kylie was photographed visiting her family’s gynecologist.
While Kris Jenner may not have commented on the rumors that Kylie Jenner is pregnant, she is reportedly trying to take some action.
“Kris is furious about the baby news,” a source told In Touch. “She was screaming, telling Kylie she was going to k!ll her and that she should have never let this happen.”
“Kris tried to ban her [in December] from dating Tyga,” the insider claimed. “Kylie told her to mind her own business, and Kylie has barely spoken to her since. She pretty much ran away from home. Although she says she lives with Khloe now, she really spends most every night at Tyga’s house.”
Radar Online reported that Kylie’s family has also tried to have her end things with Tyga, and even Kylie’s famous older sisters have joined the cause. Said a source, “Kourtney and Khloe are doing everything they can to keep her from him.”
Kylie Jenner herself has not commented on the reports that she is pregnant.
Nipsey Hussle and YG’s ‘2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted’ tour hit New York’s Best Buy Theatre last weekend and it was one for the books!
The two West Coast spitters performed all of the fan favorites including YG’s “BPT”, and Nipsey’s “Checc Me Out”. If that wasn’t enough, they brought out special guests Yo Gotti and Troy Ave to seal the deal.
In case you missed it, check out the video below.
Now we know Wale is sensitive but gahdamn! Did he really have to let ol’ girl have it like this?
Allegedly Wale showed up to his NY show super late and fans were p#####. One fan in particular voiced her outrage on Instagram and that’s when things took a turn for the worse:

Wale takes his craft very seriously…ou gon’ have problems if you try to go against it. LOL.
In the final portion of AllHipHop.com’s exclusive interview with Ali Saheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, the rapper/producer gives details about his other gig as co-host of NPR’s Microphone Check. Ali works alongside veteran music journalist Frannie Kelley for the Hip Hop centered radio program.
Microphone Check focuses on providing in-depth coverage of Hip Hop performers, rap releases, and major events by interviewing the artists and behind-the-scenes personalities directly influencing the culture. Past shows have included conversations with Pusha T, Bun B, Schoolboy Q, Nas, Pete Rock, Andre 3000, Ab-Soul, Run The Jewels, and The Underachievers.
AllHipHop.com asks Ali Shaheed about the impact his quarter century worth of experience in the recording industry has had on his transition from musician to media figure. The Brooklyn bred virtuoso also shares his experience speaking with two of the most recent Microphone Check guests – J. Cole and Rick Ross.
You’re an artist, but you’re also a media figure with NPR. How does your experience as a recording artist impact your role with Microphone Check?
It’s interesting, because I never saw myself as a social commentator or to some degree a journalist. Developing Microphone Check with Frannie Kelley, clearly that’s the position – taking and bringing the news aspect of making music as an artist to the forefront.
I’m a very good listener. My usual role in conversations is to listen and absorb what a person is saying and not necessarily have to embellish the conversation. Just having a natural conversation in an interview setting is different for me, but I also know that from my experience I think there are times where certain questions are not asked. It’s the monotony of going to one interview, then the next interview, and the next interview, and they all ask the same questions.
Knowing that there’s a lot more depth to artists and the life of making music, rhymes, beats – it takes a certain amount of thought space to do that and there are a lot of layers underneath that. So I try to approach it from that perspective. But the challenge for me is that I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. I’m a very diplomatic person, and I’m always open-minded. I respect an artist’s right to express, whatever it is, no matter how ridiculous. I respect the depth within yourself wants to do that and call it music.
I may not necessarily agree with the thing that one has packaged as art, but I do have an open mind enough to respect that. Also, knowing that I’m a producer – and one that a lot of people respect – it’s kind of hard for me to go in on certain people. I have wanted to really challenge some of the people that we’ve interview.
I think that’s my own journey – figuring out which role I’m wholly representing with Microphone Check. Is it strictly just Ali? Or is it everything that I’ve brought with me in my 25 year legacy of making music? I’m open to all feedback, anyone out there who may read this story.
Understand first that I’m a well-balanced person, and I’m not out there to be malicious. That’s never going to be my approach. But if anyone has any advice on how to balance not wanting to ruffle people’s feathers – out of the respect I have for artists – at the same time putting them on the hot seat if need be, I’m all ears.
I listened to the recent J. Cole show. I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it as well. J. Cole has a lot to say. He’s an open book which I really like. Sometimes there’s a reserve aspect – I’m sure you know that – when interviewing people. Not a lot of people are an open book, but J. Cole is. He’s nice to speak with.
I would think the artists have a certain level of respect for where you’re coming from as an interviewer, because like you said, you have such a musical legacy.
They do, and they say that. I’m grateful that they have accepted me in that regards, because there are some people who don’t care who you are or what you’ve done. For the most part, most people do.
I’m also careful in not taking that for granted. At the same time, in front of the scenes and behind the scenes, I’m known as a very upstanding person. So when you have that and people know you, they know when you’re asking something it’s being held to higher caliber, and they’re not going to take it personally.
But then it can also be, “you’re so righteous, you’re judgmental.” I don’t want to come off in a judgmental way. Only because I’m an artist myself, and I understand that as an artist sometimes you are just messing up in life. Sometimes you know you’re messing up and you don’t care. Sometimes you don’t know, and you’re trying to figure it out, live your dream, be expressive, and have no rules.
You think you can move through Earth a certain way, and then you figure out – like when a child touches something hot, “That burned me. Now I know not to do that again.” It’s no different with artists in a mature, grown person state.
I know that when I’m speaking to people. I come from an element where a lot of rappers come from. I know there’s a lack of opportunity that’s been shown to them from childhood.
Take Rick Ross specifically. I know in interviewing him that he speaks about his surroundings and what he saw. In sitting with him, I may have wanted to dissect the images and lyrics a little bit. I didn’t, because I understand the element.
But case in point, at the end of the conversation I had with him I asked him a question in terms of “giving the content and who’s listening to you, there’s usually two ways for a person living that lifestyle – either jail or early death. So you tell me what’s an alternative to that?” That was a unique way of me understanding the complexities of his pop persona, what his music does for certain people and what it does for other people. But also understanding he’s an artist and not to critique him.
So when it comes to NPR, that’s my internal challenge. I’m trying to figure out – as Microphone Check continues to grow – how I find my voice. I take a lot of directives from Frannie as well, because she is very passionate about the art form and what is represented.
It’s an interesting position for me, and I hope that we represent the culture in a balanced way, and artists are able to voice who they are on the inside in a way that no one else has been able to connect with them. That’s the ultimate goal for me with Microphone Check.
What else can we expect from you in 2015?
Certainly, this record with Adrian Younge is something that I’m very excited about. My solo record – I’m getting excited about it. [laughs] Merna and I are doing more stuff. There’s a lot more production in the pipeline.
I was a little bit active in 2014. I have this Milosh [“Stacks Are High”] remix out right now. I’m crossing a lot of genres. I’m switching it up, and I hope in 2015 to do a lot more.

Birdman isn’t the only one in hip-hop with a Marvel cover. Rap twosome Run the Jewels have been cartoonized for two issues of Marvel Comics’ Issue 45 of Deadpool and Issue Two of Howard the Duck.
“We didn’t know it was happening,” El-P told Rolling Stone. “We just got told it was happening and we were like, ‘You can’t be serious, that’s not possible, how is that even possible?’ Then they showed us the covers. And it’s f###### crazy.”

Killer Mike says that’s not exactly how things went and that he could recall a conversation Marvel had with their management team. Either way, he was stoked about the cover. “I was dancing around the room in my Polo underwear,” he said.
Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso said he got inspired to use the signature pose after watching his son celebrate winning a football game.
“Seeing the way that my 11-year-old son and his friends were improv-ing off of this really vibrant, iconic image. . .It got me thinking. If you’ve got this movement around the world from Bangladesh to Taiwan, people are doing their interpretations of this logo, and I got these roughnecks doing it on the sideline of a football game. . .Maybe Marvel could weight in on this and have some fun.”
Peep the two covers below.
