By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Last month New York Knicks player Iman Shumpert took a break from the court to jump in the booth. The four-year NBA veteran dropped the track “#HowtoHate” which included a few lines directed at The Breakfast Club hosts Charlamagne Tha God & DJ Envy.

Complex caught up with Shumpert and asked the 24-year-old guard about his issues with Charlamagne and Envy. According to Shump, his biggest issue with the radio personalities was not over any disses about his music. Iman says it was Envy’s claim that he was an “ass” to a group of children after a Knicks game that bothered him the most.

“DJ Envy said that after a game we had an autograph signing – which after games we don’t do autographs signings,” explained Shumpert. “First of all DJ Envy, don’t make something up. If you had record of that, if you know me the way you’re sitting here talking about it, then at the autograph signing that you saw me do this, how about you pull me to the side and tell me to stop doing that to these kids.”

Shumpert added that he “loves kids” and other Knicks players like Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith will leave him to handle interacting with the youth.

“I felt like they were throwing salt on my brand for no reason,” stated Shumpert. “If you’re going to make fun of me, make fun of my hair Charlamagne, cool. You wanna joke around [about how] the Knicks lost, cool. But when you start saying I’m being rude to kids, DJ Envy, come on man. I don’t even know you like that.”

Now, there could be another possible step toward being able to get a new Kendrick LP. An alleged photo of the album’s tracklist is circulating online. The pic shows 18 tracks with guest appearances by Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, George Clinton, Jay Rock, and Ron Isley.

There is no confirmation that the photograph really represents the songs that will appear on Kendrick’s upcoming project. In previous weeks, rumored tracklists for Kanye West’s next LP and another surprise album from Beyoncé made their rounds on the Internet as well.

While the tracks for Kanye’s reported Paris album have not been proven to be right or wrong, it turned out the Bey tracklist was not accurate. The R&B singer ended up releasing a deluxe version of her self-titled album that included the new songs “7/11″ and “Ring Off” and remixes to other cuts.

Cassidy Says He "3-0'd" Dizaster At "Ether" Battle Event (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) The much talked about showdown between battle rap veteran Dizaster and gold-selling emcee Cassidy did not come together as originally planned. Diz and Cas were set to face off at FilmOn’s “Ether” event on Saturday, but the battle was shut down by the fire Marshall after the first round.

[ALSO READ: Cassidy Says Battle Against Dizaster Is About The Money, Not The Opponent (VIDEO)]

“Ether” promoters Alki David’s of ETV.com and Lush One of Fresh Coast Media rescheduled the completion of Dizaster versus Cassidy for the following day. Cassidy was asked about the final outcome of his lyrical bout with Dizaster, and the Philadelphia rhymer made it clear he felt it was an easy win for him.

“I’m celebrating. I just ‘3-0’d’ that dude,” said Cass. “Everybody seen it. Man, I cooked him. A n***a that took 12 years off came out of retirement and cooked a n***a that do it everyday. So I’m celebrating.”

Cassidy also addressed there were “technical difficulties” plaguing the Saturday night battle. There were issues with the sound equipment during the showcase. In a statement, David admitted he felt let down by the sound people and the security for “Ether.”

Dizaster also took to Twitter to allege there were a large amount of firearms present during the make-up battle.

This was the third battle event featuring current or formerly signed rappers that ended without the crowd seeing a full contest. Back in July, Slaughterhouse member Joe Budden cut the third round of his highly anticipated Total Slaughter match up against Hollow Da Don shortly after complaining about the crowd booing him.

The Fredro Starr/Keith Murray battle scheduled for MC War’s “NWO 2” never even started. The respective Def Squad and Onyx representatives apparently took issue with not being properly paid for their appearances.

The Odd Side: Freedom Fighter

By: Vance BrinkleyCategory: Uncategorized

Welcome back to the Odd Side, a column that explores the effects of Hip Hop’s transformation through different sounds.

This week will be dedicated to the artists who have taken a stance against the recent plethora of police brutality cases. Instead of following the trend of being silent (like, you know, some artists) The artists being recognized this week has taken the next step to make a revolution through their craft. Michael Brown and Eric Garner didn’t get the justice they deserved, but these artists fighting for them through a new wave.

DJ Akiin – Hands Up Don’t Shoot Mixtape

Let’s start this revolution out with a dope mixtape. Thanks to browsing around 2DopeBoyz, I came across DJ Akiin’s Hands Up Don’t Shoot mixtape. This Soundcloud mix features a dope set of tracks (all saying f*ck the police) with tracks from NWA, Public Enemy, J Dilla, Tupac, and many more.

Alice Smith, Sam Dew, Dave Sitek – Shell Shock

Alice Smith has such a beautiful voice,  her music can be seen as a reincarnation to some of the dopest singers of the past. She teamed up with rock band TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek for a new track called “Shell Shock”. The track gives you a classic feel, with an upbeat style and a revolutionary flow. “Shell Shock” brings back the classic vibe of 60’s protests to the present time.

Wu Tang Clan – A Better Tomorrow

The Wu Tang is back!! Earlier this weekend, the legendary rap group released their official video for the single “A Better Tomorrow”. The set of visuals shows protest clips that fits very well with the “Wake Up” sample, and then the Wu Tang Clan drops dope lyrics to mix it in.

What do you think about these tracks? Let us know, and be ready for next week.

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Music News

West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle plans to take his hustle to the next level by charging $1000 for fans to purchase his new album, Mailbox Money.

Before fans could balk at the cost, the rapper explained his case to MTV News.

“There will only be 100 hard copies and they are $1000 each,” he told MTV News, adding that it will also be released for free via iTunes and the Proud 2 Pay platform built for the Crenshaw release. “The 100 people that buy the P2P version will be granted access to a private advance listening session of [upcoming 2015 album] Victory Lap at the secret Marathon Store we are going to open the day of the listening.”

He further explained that the effort would also musically differentiate himself from other artists of the day.

“It’s all original music. Being honest, these ain’t mixtapes, they’re albums,” he explained. “These original songs, concepts, the biggest producers, the biggest rappers in the game are a part of [it] and bringing creativity to [it]. I don’t want to devalue it by calling it a mixtape. It’s really just music — more conversations for my people.”

Last year, Nipsey created a fervor after selling his Crewshaw album at $100 a pop.

Lebron James Speaks Out Against Police Brutality Shootings; Calls Out Less Vocal Athletes

By: Vance BrinkleyCategory: News

the recent plethora of police murders and shootings have established a cultural impact on Black culture in America, and has even started a movement within the sports world. While protesters fight on every city’s streets for justice after the US courts failed to indict the police officers behind Eric Garner’s murder and the Michael Brown shooting, the movement taken a next step into the sports world. Several athletes have recently made their stand against the police violence, including Cleveland phenom Lebron James. During the pre-game session, James spoke out about his thoughts on the recent sequence of events.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s more troubling that it’s happening in our country,” James told reporters during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ morning shootaround at Madison Square Garden yesterday. This is our country, the land of the free, and we keep having these incidents happen, innocent victims or whatever the case may be. Our families are losing loved ones. I’m not pointing the blame at anybody that’s making it happen. In society, we’ve come a long way, but it just goes to show how much further we still have to go.” 

in regards to athletes who refused to speak out, James tells Daily News:

“It doesn’t matter if you are an athlete or not. If it hits home for you, then you have the right to speak on it. That’s why we have freedom of speech,” he added. “I’ve never shied away for something that I feel for or people or families that I feel for. That’s just who I am. But I don’t think we should add pressure to anybody, first of all, that doesn’t have the knowledge about it, that’s not educated upon it to speak about something you don’t know about. If you feel passionate about it, you speak about it. If not, don’t worry about it.”

Well, If Lebron James is able to speak out about these police shootings, do you think you should? Leave a comment bel0w.
