We were all caught off guard when news hit that Suge Knight and Katt Williams were thrown in jail together for stealing a female photographer’s camera. Things got even more weird when Katt said the whole incident occurred because the photographer was being inappropriate with a child. Thanks to TMZ, a video has been posted that makes sense of this whole situation.
In the minute clip, Suge is seen approaching a male photographer and then spitting expletives at a female photographer because she was allegedly snapping pictures of his five-year-old son. The female pap, whose name is unknown, claims she was not taking pictures of Suge’s child, but he wasn’t hearing it. The former Death Row CEO, who stands 6’4″ and weighs around 300 lbs, continued to approached the woman saying “I got a b#### to come beat your motherf—– ass!”
The alleged theft of her camera was not shown in this clip and there was no appearance from Katt Williams.
Up next to the plate for the TDE team is Jay Rock. In his new video for “Parental Advisory,” viewers can follow the “YOLA” rapper home as he gives a tour of his hometown of Watts. He recently dropped another song, “Pay For It,” with his Black Hippy comrade Kendrick Lamar and singer Chantal. No details have been dished about his upcoming album but be assured that it is on its way. Peep the video for the first single below.
Maybe French is trying to win some points back with Khloe, but I don’t feel he had to throw Trina under the bus to do so.
Montana recently went on The Wendy Williams Show for an interview, where he touched on a few things including his new album and his relationships.
While French says that Khloe Kardashian will always be his baby, he doesn’t even own up to the fact that he was with Trina before.
“Honestly, I was never a couple with Trina. I was just going through my divorce so I was just having fun with life,” said French. “I wasn’t in a mental space to be in a relationship. I can’t claim nobody after I was just going through a divorce.”
He also says that Trina did not introduce him to Kardashian. Peep the clip below to see more from the interview.
All the pettiness is getting out of control with these two.
Sunday morning Blac Chyna’s Twitter account was clearly hacked, and she is now blaming baby daddy Tyga for the incident.
The tweet said, “Im a gold digger & a cheater. I never really loved Tyga It was always about the money. After he took me out the strip club gave me a beautiful family,” makes it sorta obvious that bitter baby daddy probably was the culprit behind the hoax, added on to the fact that Tyga only uses Echofon to tweet, unlike Chyna who uses Twitter for iPhone.
Chyna took to her IG account to address the petty move.
If you ask me, everyone involved in the situation is a little too damn old for the nonsense, then again #thatsnoneofmybusiness.
(AllHipHop News) Earlier this year former Flipmode Squad emcee Rah Digga was not shy in sharing her feelings about Iggy Azalea. In September, Rah expressed that she did not consider Iggy Hip Hop and took issue with the Australian’s vocal style being similar to American rappers from the South.
Rah was asked about the “Fancy” performer and the culture in general during a recent interview with BET. This time the Newark, New Jersey native elaborated on her thoughts about what is “real Hip Hop.” Digga said:
I don’t think that there’s one real sound that is real hip hop. I mean, that’s like a conundrum, you know. Like there’s no definite answer to what’s real hip hop. But I do feel that today, music business and hip hop culture are dramatically confused. And I say that because there are fundamentals that hip hop purists live and die by, whereas those same fundamentals don’t really apply in music business. Like music business will tell you, ‘Oh, it’s OK if you don’t write. All you gotta do is have a look and a catchy beat and a hook.’ And things like that.
But hip hop has a different set of rules. Hip hop says, ‘No, you’re supposed to write your own rhymes. You’re supposed to be authentic, you’re supposed to be original.’ Now, I wouldn’t say because you participate in the music business, you’re not hip hop. But when the music business starts anointing people with titles and giving people these hip hop accolades, you can’t be alarmed when the hip hop community has questions. … Hip hop isn’t about record sales and charting — that’s music business. Hip hop is about being the best lyricist and being true to yourself.
In part 2 of the conversation, Rah commented on whether she would be interested in creating music with Iggy as well as Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma. Digga said:
I mean, I would never say ‘never.’ I think me and Remy are very similar in terms of our street cadence. As far as Nicki and Iggy… musically, it would just have to make sense. … We usually have to be friends before we do songs, like we’ve broken bread or we’ve had some kind of vibing session. I rarely do songs with people I don’t know or never met before. Remy, I know. I’ve never met Nicki or Iggy personally, so I wouldn’t just have my handlers call their handlers out-of-the-blue and say, ‘Hey, you want to do a record?’ We would have to gel organically first, and then if that opportunity presented itself… [shrugs].”
(AllHipHop News) Beyoncé shocked the world last year when the global megastar released her self-titled album without any promotion or announcements. There are now reports that Bey could be doing it again this holiday season.
A photo rumored to be the tracklisting for Beyoncé Volume 2 has been circulating online. The image has not been verified to be accurate, but the mere picture sent Twitter into a frenzy about whether Bey will be dropping her 6th studio album later this month.
The photo features a list of songs that include appearances by Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Justin Timberlake. It also mentions a 4-disc physical copy of Beyoncé – The Complete Edition with music videos, “Mrs. Carter World Tour” footage, and video from the “On The Run” tour stop in Paris.
The entire ordeal could just be an elaborate hoax, but if it turns out to be true, the Bey Hive could expect Queen Bey to return in two weeks. If it turns out to be false, there is always the other rumored LP with her husband Jay Z that is reportedly in the works.
(AllHipHop News) The subliminal back-and-forth between Young Money’s Drake and Tyga apparently continued over the weekend. The latest round in the riff came via Drake’s Instagram page. The “0 to 100” rapper posted a picture with Kardashian clan member Kylie Jenner. The reality show star is also reportedly dating Tyga.
A photo posted by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on
Tyga and Jenner have been repeatedly photographed together over the last few weeks. Jenner even posted her own picture to IG of the two dressed in Halloween costumes.
Neither Tyga nor Jenner have publicly announced they are a couple. There has been speculation that the “Make It Work” performer’s boss, Lil Wayne, was upset that 24-year-old Tyga was dating 17-year-old Kylie Jenner.
T-Raww expressed his frustration with Young Money for not placing more attention on his upcoming project The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty. Tyga also stated that he was not close to YMCMB superstars Drake and Nicki Minaj, and he called Drizzy “fake.”
(AllHipHop News) T.I.’s single “About The Money” is on pace to become another Top 40 hit for the Atlanta rapper. The song’s chart success is due in part to Young Thug tackling the hook. While the Paperwork cut has crossed over on radio, some listeners were critical of the fact that it is hard for them to understand what Thug was actually saying at times on the record. Some have even dubbed the young star’s style as “Mumble Rap.”
During a CRWN interview with Elliot Wilson, Tip addressed the fact that fans complain about not being able to comprehend his collaborator on tracks. The self-ordained “King of the South” defended Thugger by comparing him to 1990’s Hip Hop legends and one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
“In his defense, let me ask you – Did you understand everything ODB was saying?” asked Tip. Responding to someone in the crowd the Hustle Gang leader added, “You did? Y’all from Brooklyn. Did you understand everything Bone Thugs-N-Harmony was saying? Did your momma and daddy understand everything James Brown was saying? Your momma and daddy didn’t understand what James Brown was saying. They just liked it.”
Tip goes on to reveal that he first became aware of Young Thug because as a teenager Thug was close to his younger cousins in Atlanta. When T.I. found out the now 22-year-old took on rapping, he was eager to support his career, but it wasn’t until Thugger released songs like “Stoner” and “Danny Glover” that he was willing to get in the studio with the rising performer.
(AllHipHop News) The Dallas Cowboys are currently struggling through a two game losing streak, but one of the team’s stars has made a huge play off the field. Pro Bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant has moved over to Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports.
Bryant had been trying to secure a new deal with the Cowboys during the offseason, but the two sides were unable to come to an agreement. The Texas native decided to fire his longtime agent Eugene Parker and sign on with Roc Nation. His $11.8 million five-year rookie contract expires at the end of this season.
“I feel like it fits me,” said Bryant about joining Hov’s company. “It fits what I’m trying to do, what I’m trying to accomplish in life. I want to be the best that I can possibly be. It ain’t about a contract. It’s about me branding myself and being an icon for these kids. I love kids and they look up to me.”
Bryant joins fellow NFL players Geno Smith, Hakeem Nicks, Ndamukong Suh, and Victor Cruz at the Roc.
(AllHipHop News) Mississippi emcee/producer Big K.R.I.T. is on the verge of releasing his sophomore album Cadillactica on November 11. The 17-track deluxe edition is now available for streaming via NPR: First Listen. The LP features appearances by Raphael Saadiq, Rico Love, E-40, Wiz Khalifa, Bun B, Devin the Dude, Lupe Fiasco, and more.

Initially the album art for The Pinkprint was to be released on Monday, but she dropped it early. Apparently, the art was created by Kanye West’s creative team. On Instagram, the YMCMB rapper stated that this was for the deluxe album.
The Pinkprint is slated for release on December 15, 2014.
Police paid Mystikal a little visit right before Halloween as a part of a sex offender compliance check meant to protect kids during the sugar-feast called trick-or-treating.
The rapper has been a part of routine checks due to a 2004 conviction of sexual battery but he made clear to a local news WBRZ that he had some differences from others.
“I have the same fears that most parents have, I don’t have an offense against no young kids, or nothing like that, which don’t make my offense no better, but still, protect your kids man, protect your kids, our kids are the most important thing we have,” said Mystikal.
Other sexual offenders checked had hardcore offenses against kids and were barred from giving out candy and wearing masks as well.
The 44 year-old served several years in jail and will be listed as a sex offender for the rest of his life. He doesn’t let the routine get him down.
“I don’t do the pity party thing, I have to participate in sex offender groups and stuff like that, it don’t stop your life man,” said Mystikal.
Check out Mystical talk about his own issues as well as moving forward in the video above.
Jeezy’s been doing a lot of work with the West Coast’s dopest artists out. “Link Up” has a caribbean vibe on a DJ Mustard beat. Jeezy’s Seen it All: The Autobiography is out now.
A Hollywood Reporter post recently announced a report informing Kendrick Lamar’s return to Saturday Night Live. The last time the TDE rapper was on SNL, the young rapper was performing his good kid, m.A.A.d city single “Swimming Pools”. Curiosity definitely has us wondering whether we will hear a new song performed on Saturday Night Live, but we are sure that we’ll hear Kendrick perform “i” on stage.
This week in The Odd Side is for the artists that deserves their credit
Earlier this week, the Huffington Post interviewed Danny Brown before he performed. The Detroit rapper declared himself to be the best rapper and respected. Though it may seem like this is completely far-fetched, it is important to give Danny Brown the credit he deserves. His two projects The Hybrid and XXX were critically acclaimed, with his debut album Old being declared one of the best albums to come out in 2013. With all of this success though, there is one major thing that Danny Brown is doing for Hip Hop. Something that many rappers like him wish to do: he’s bringing punk culture to the forefronts of Hip Hop. So give that man the credit he deserves.
Jaden Smith is another artist to look out for. Don’t let the “Will Smith’s son” and “Karate Kid” history fool you, this dude has been dropping firing lately. Let’s hope we hear an actual album from this Jaden soon.
What do you think about both of these artists? Do you think they deserve the credit, or nah? Let me know on Twitter @VBrinkley513
Houston-based rapper Le$ has been making hella moves with JetLife Recordings. This time around, Le$’ new project Steak & Shrimp Vol. 1 is a interesting trip to his days of the Settle4Le$ series. produced mostly by DJ Mr. Rogers and DSF, the new tape features a diverse list of artists from both JetLife and Boss Hogg Outlawz, including Slim Thug, Curren$y, and A$hton Mathews to name a few. Check out the new mixtape after the jump.
EDM and Hip Hop is merging something deeper and doper than we can imagine, and Baauer is one of the producers among many who are making it happen. This go around, the Harlem Shake producer teams up with London electronic duo AlunaGeorge and “No Flex Zone” crew Rae Sremmurd for the new track “One Touch”. Bauuer produces hip hop beat while the vocals of Aluna Francis’ (half of AlunaGeorge) and rhymes of Rae Sremmurd mix to make something odd and familiar at the same damn time.
