Well Ludacris‘ wife Eudoxie finally decided to speak up about something. Everyone has been talking about Ludacris admitting he slept with one of Drake’s girlfriends. Fans wanted to know when did this happen, and was it during him and Eudoxie’s long relationship, especially since he already had a “break baby” on her. Eudoxie responded to some fans in third person (or maybe someone else runs her account lol) on TheShadeRoom’s Instagram page saying “Eudoxie didn’t know Ludacris back then. This was like 10 years ago”. Fans wanted to know how was this the case when Drake hasn’t been relevant as a rapper for 10 years. What are your thoughts?

JT Money also had two “pimp” albums place on the Billboard charts but they didn’t hit no.1, 1999’s Pimpin’ On Wax and Keepin’ It Pimp & Gangsta in 2003.
Kendrick also broke a Spotify record with this album’s release. He knocked down Drake’s record of 6.8 million streams in one day after TPAB garnered 9.6 million streams in 24 hours.

Recently Tyrese made news for saying he felt his ex-wife would flee the country with their daughter; his ex-wife Norma has decided to speak out to MadameNoire.com about their relationship’s turmoil. She stated that Tyrese was both physically and emotionally abusive to her. She also says she felt extremely irresponsible for not speaking up for years when the Ray Rice incident emerged.
“I felt so irresponsible at that moment because I wasn’t taking responsibility as a woman and using my voice to perhaps alleviate those blows. It starts with words and then it becomes physical, but the words are what linger. The physical abuse heals quickly, but the emotional keeps coming back because you’re so unsure of yourself.”
She plans to start a women’s empowerment campaign to help build self-esteem and confidence in women who experience the same issues. She also says despite what Tyrese is telling the public, she has no intention on fleeing the country with their daughter as she would never take her daughter away from her father.
Tyrese stopped by the Breakfast club to talk about several things. He ended up also discussing getting 50% custody of his daughter, if he really felt like his ex-wife would kidnap their daughter and if he abused his ex-wife. Check out the video below.
After becoming a hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the film Dope is headed to theaters on June 19th.
Directed by Rick Famuyiwa, the coming of age tale tells the story of a crew of 90s hip-hop geeks as they have a eventful day in The Bottoms, a rough area of Inglewood, CA. Dope marks A$AP Rocky’s introduction to the big screen as well, who auditioned for the part after helping his then girlfriend Chanel Iman with her lines.
Forest Whitaker serves as the film’s narrator while Casey Veggies, Vince Staples and Tyga also makes appearances.
The trailer leaves much to the imagination, not truly hinting at the story line and showing brief flashes of the flick itself.
Kendrick Lamar went back to his home base of Compton to shoot the video for his next single from To Pimp A Butterfly, “King Kunta.”
K. Dot chose to film the visual at the Compton Fashion Center, aka the Compton swapmeet, and tapped director X to bring the song to life. In a clip recorded by a fan, the TDE spitter is seen performing on top of the swapmeet’s marquee and then in its parking lot in front of fellow CPT residents crowding around old school low riders.
Compton’s major Aja Brown told TMZ that the swapmeet was recently sold and will be replaced with a retail store, so Kendrick’s video may be the last video shot there.
(AllHipHop News) Legendary producer Dr. Dre does not do very many interviews. The Good Doctor sat down with Real 92.3’s Big Boy to discuss various topics. Dre spoke about the making of “Nuthin’ But A G Thang” featuring Snoop Dogg, reconciling with Eazy-E before his death, and the upcoming N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton.
“I was worried about it at the beginning,” said Dre about the F. Gary Gray directed film. “I didn’t even want to do the movie. [Ice] Cube quarterbacked. He got the first draft of the script done. I read it and was like, ‘Okay, we can work with this. We can turn this into something.’ Then when Gary Gray got on board, I was in.”
Dre also revealed there could potentially be an original soundtrack connected to the movie. Rather than just having songs from the group’s catalog, the project could see all new tracks.
“I think this would be a record that’s inspired by the movie,” stated Dre.
(AllHipHop News) Battle rapper Daylyt has built his brand partially off his willingness to do or say almost anything in public. The California representative has pulled out his privates during a battle, attempted to defecate on stage, and stated he wanted to have sex with Diddy.
All these comments and antics have led to some backlash from followers of the culture including complaints Day “sold out” for fame. He decided to address those critiques in a new video blog.
“‘Daylyt you sold your soul to the white man. I wonder how much the white man paid him to say that?”” says Daylyt quoting some of his critics. “The white man pays you $8.50 to clean toilet bowls and bust your ass… You sold your sold the minute you filled out that punk ass application at that minimum wage job.”
The controversial rhymer goes on to say he does not even have a soul to sell, because he hails from Watts. Day then continues by saying anyone that gets government assistance, such as public housing or EBT cards, have sold their soul to the Illuminati.
“Y’all don’t get the levels of this s**t. At this moment in life, I feel like I’m free, because nobody owns me,” declares Day. “Somebody does own me – my last name is Campbell. But at this moment I can say and do whatever the f**k I want. Nobody pays me for the s**t I do. When I say something dumb online, it gets uploaded and I get paid for the f**king views from it. Nobody pays me to say nothing.”
According to Day, his actions are part of his plan to establish lasting success for his family. The Dot Mobb member tells the camera he is willing to do anything and sacrifice himself in order to achieve that goal.
“If anybody is watching this – this goes to a higher power organization. Specifically Jewish, white – anybody that has billions and billions of dollars,” announces Daylyt. “I’m letting y’all know right now my soul is clearly up for sale.”
(AllHipHop News) Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Lil Wayne have been featured on each other’s popular tracks for years, and the Young Money stars currently have two hit singles with “Only” and “Truffle Butter.” The general public seems to love hearing the three rappers together on a record, and one Wu-Tang Clan member agrees. In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, Masta Killa spoke about his appreciation for Nicki, Drizzy, and Weezy.
“Artists that are out now have their own style of doing things, but I love what they’re doing. Their world is a different style of hustling, but it’s dope,” says Killa. “I like Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne’s chemistry and how they do their thing.”
The man also known as Jamel Arief broke onto the music scene as a member of the Wu. The group’s debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is widely viewed as a Hip Hop classic. It has been over 20 years since that LP dropped. Killa reflects on how the game has changed since that time.
“At the time when I got to know Hip Hop, things were so rare that it actually had you stuck, even when we put our first album together. Making an album at that time was still kind of mystical to people,” adds Killa. “Now you can run into the average [rapper], and he has about ten albums in his backpack.”
(AllHipHop News) California rapper Lil Debbie is clearly not a fan of Iggy Azalea’s music. AllHipHop.com caught up with the former member of the White Girl Mob at WorldStar’s SXSW concert, and Debbie did not hold back her thoughts about the “Fancy” performer.
“She’s trash,” states Debbie. “She sounds like she swallows bugs. You can’t ask me my opinion, because I’m the type of b***h that’s going to tell you my opinion.”
Debbie does add she thinks Iggy is a beautiful woman and acknowledges the Australia native’s success. The interview also includes Debbie discussing being an independent artist and branching out from WGM’s Kreayshawn and V-Nasty.
K. Dot had six separate songs break onto Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. “King Kunta” (61), “The Blacker The Berry” (66), “Alright” (83), “Wesley’s Theory” (91), “These Walls” (94), and “Institutionalized” (99) all debuted on the list of the hottest singles in the country.
The TDE rapper also took over Billboard‘s Artist 100 chart. His jump from 82 to 1 is the largest leap to the number one spot in the chart’s history.
Kendrick ended Taylor Swift’s reign in the tally’s lead position. He is only the second rapper to reach number one on the Artist 100. Drake held the top spot in February.
(AllHipHop News) Last year Killer Mike was one of the most outspoken Hip Hop representatives during the national conversation on police brutality. The Atlanta emcee and his Run The Jewels partner El-P revisit the conversation in the new video for “Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k).”
The track off 2014’s Run The Jewels 2 album features Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine. Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire, Wolf of Wall Street) and Keith Stanfield (Selma, Straight Outta Compton) star in the AG Rojas directed visuals.
“This video represents the futile and exhausting existence of a purgatory-like law enforcement system. There is no neat solution at the end because there is no neat solution in the real world,” states Mike. “However, there is an opportunity to dialogue and change the way communities are policed in this country. Salutes to AG Rojas for his unique take on the subject matter and to Shea and Keith for giving us their all and bringing it to life.”
El-P adds, “This is a vision of a seemingly never-ending struggle whose participants are pitted against each other by forces originating outside of themselves.”
Rojas also released a statement about the video. It can be read in full here.
