However, the punishment was not that severe. The deputies received “verbal counseling” for giving “a poor perspective and lack of neutrality” and “neglecting their assigned duties.”

The G-Unit leader was at the county courthouse for a hearing concerning a civil lawsuit with Sleek Audio. 50 (born Curtis Jackson) was ordered to pay the headphone company $16 million for allegedly stealing their product design and confidential private client information.

While 50 was leaving the building, Sgt. Craig Laufer along with deputies Pamela Gibbs and Yvane Moreland were caught on a Palm Beach Post video interacting with the rapper as fans. Laufer can be seen posing for a picture with the Queens native, and the two female deputies can be seen walking with their hands around 50’s waist.

Mary J. Blige Talks Working On New Music With London Artists & The Burger King Commercial Fiasco (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: MOBILESeptember 22, 2014

(AllHipHop News) For her 13th studio album, Mary J. Blige traveled across the pond to record with some of the leading talent in the British music scene. The Queen of Hip Hop Soul collaborated with artists like Disclosure, Emeli Sandé, Sam Smith, Jimmy Napes, and Naughty Boy for the upcoming London Sessions LP.

Blige recently sat down with The Breakfast Club to give more detail into how the project came together.

“London was the inspiration because of the record we did with Disclosure – the “F For You” record. It exploded in London… and it started trickling over here,” explained Mary. “Before I signed to the new label we met with Steve Barnett, the head of Capitol Records. We told him the idea about doing an EP with Disclosure, and he was like, ‘Forget the EP. Let’s do a whole album and surround you with the culture of all the young upcoming producers, singers, and writers over there’.”

The Yonkers songstress and her husband Kendu Isaacs also discussed how she became involved in a controversial 2012 Burger King commercial. Blige caught backlash for appearing in the “BK Chicken Snack Wrap” ad. Some critics felt the act reinforced negative stereotypes about African-Americans.

“When we signed up to do it, she was singing about a salad. In the last minute they were like, ‘We want to switch it to the sandwich’,” stated Issacs. “My dumb ass, I dropped the ball.”

Isaacs also claims either Burger King or the ad agency edited the footage to include off the cuff statements Blige made that were not intended for the commercial.

“It’s almost like they were doing it on purpose,” he said.

Blige added about the fiasco, “I got real dark for a minute. I wanted to go under my bed…When I felt like I wanted to go under there, something was like, ‘Get up and have the courage to go out there. Yeah, they’re laughing. You’re a soldier. Go do what you need to do’.”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: HeadlinesSeptember 22, 2014

(AllHipHop News) Nicki Minaj is caught in another lip syncing controversy. The YMCMB member is being accused of mouthing her performance at the iHeartRadio Festival. According to In Touch Weekly, the audience became aware that Nicki was not performing live.

“She was clearly lip singing during her performance,” an eyewitness relayed to the publication. “Her mic was held very far from her, and her mouth did not match the words. Everyone noticed.”

Nicki also felt the sting from public criticism in 2010 when observers felt she was miming at the BET Awards. Minaj denied she was lip syncing during that show, stating it was issues with the sound system that made it appear like she was not rapping her lyrics.

Examiner.com is also reporting the iHeartRadio crowd began booing the “Anaconda” rapper after she asked the audience what they thought about her infamous butt.

All of the reactions to Nicki’s performance were not negative. Billboard‘s recap of the femcee’s set reads as follows:

After slaying “Super Bass” and fan favorite “Beez In The Trap,” Nicki Minaj runs into technical difficulties during her ferocious verse on Beyonce’s “Flawless” remix. “iHeartRadio, do we have a problem?” Minaj says, before quickly clarifying, “no, I don’t mean you, I mean [the sound guys] in the back.” Seizing an opportunity to turn an audio gaffe into a triumph, Minaj decides to rock the rest of her “Flawless” verse a capella (surprise! It kills.)

Nicki addressed the “audio gaffe” on her Instagram page writing:

#Video #flawless by the way, that wasn’t part of the show. Lol. The music really cut off so I just decided to go a cappella #iHeartRadio #Vegas

Political Candidate Catching Heat For Video Using Sexual Rap Lyric

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: MOBILESeptember 22, 2014

(AllHipHop News) Maine Democratic gubernatorial candidate Michael Michaud found himself in hot water last week when a video profile of him was uploaded to the internet.

The problem was the blogger who produced the video included a rap song that contained a sexual lyric aimed at a top Republican in the state.

Knack Factory production company’s Alex Steed added the song “King of Maine” by homestate rapper Spose to the video. During one section of the track Spose rap’s, “I’ve got Susan Collins giving everyone brain.”

The Maine GOP is already trying to derail my 2018 Maine gubernatorial run. #brain #mepolitics http://t.co/hC1Y7Fge8N

— Spose (@spizzyspose) September 19, 2014

Steed obviously knew Collins is a GOP senator from Maine, but he did not know “giving brain” meant oral sex. Of course, Republicans jumped on the clip and demanded the Michaud campaign denounce and take down the video. The campaign complied, but insisted they did not have a hand in the production of the video.

“The Michaud campaign did not produce this video or have any control or advance knowledge of its contents,” said spokesperson Lizzy Reinholt. “We do not condone the offensive song lyrics included in it.”

Reinholt’s account was backed up by Steed who claims the video was made independently and without any financial backing from the Michaud campaign.

Breeding Ground: Who is DuQuaye?

By: Vance BrinkleyCategory: Breeding GroundSeptember 21, 2014

If you had a six-figure job in medicine, and your career is possibly set as soon as you leave college, would you keep it? Or, would you choose to chase your dreams? Well, that’s what artist DuQuaye decided to do after his 8th month in training in the healthcare industry, and never looked back. The ATL-based provides a different perspective to the rap industry by bringing in a business perspective to his music. His music is aggressive and straight from the south, using bass-hitting beats and a steady flow. We had a chance to talk to DuQuaye about his sound (of course), his past, his rise to to making music, and even the decision to chase his music.

Ever since he was sing and dancing as a child, DuQuaye always had a knack for music to the point where it seemed to be natural. “I don’t think it [interest for music] was developed, I think I was born with it”, says Quaye. While being raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut, he grew up listening to a plethora of artists representing the East Coast, including The Lox and Rakim. However, these artists weren’t touching Quayes love for the biggest East Coast movement during his childhood, Puff Daddy and Bad Boy Records, a small love that would later on influence his craftsmanship in the music industry as both a business man and an artist. This love for music soon continued to grow along with Quaye, which soon lead to his first time making a song with his cousin as a teenager. ” I had written a song but I only had a written a hook and a verse for the first song,… and my cousin told me to finish the song and he’d be right back” Quaye tells AllHipHop, “By the time he got back…I had finished the rest on the song!” This one situation lead to Quaye unlocking his potential.

DuQuaye was still into performing through his years as a student at Hampton University, but he got serious after leaving his career in healthcare. “I can’t stay in any..environment that allows me not to be happy” says Quaye. This decision soon lead him to working for Patchwerk studios in Atlanta. This soon lead to the artist getting knowledge in the music industry at an A&R, and soon using his skills in the industry to become an artist.

For now, Quaye’s newest song “F*ck Ya City Up” is out, and if you dig his music, check out more of his music via iTunes

Hip-Hop Rumors: What Happened To Love And Hip-Hop’s Joseline At The Hip-Hop Awards?

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: HeadlinesSeptember 21, 2014

It was all good and then it was all bad.

Joseline and Steve J rolled up at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, my spies tell me. All was well. Steve J was talking some stuff, mumbling about “n***as talking s**t” but that was way in the beginning of the show. Suddenly, towards the middle, things went left. As you know Snoop was the host and he was a really funny guy. And then there were others that were presenters and they were on some funny s**t too. From what I understand, Joseline was the object of several jokes and she didn’t like it. At some point, she ran out of the Civic Center’s may arena in tears. She retreated to a bathroom where she was crying uncontrollably, according to witnesses. Stevie J was by her side though. At any rate, she got herself together and apparently took to pictures with police. Ain’t that a bush! Anyway, nobody fully knows why she was all broken up, but that she likely let the jokes get to her.

I don’t know if they returned. I heard she was looking pretty hot though.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Murda Mook Disses Drake At BET Hip-Hop Awards!

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: HeadlinesSeptember 21, 2014

Yesterday at the Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, I heard it went down. And Murda Mook went in on Drake, dissing the boy. I heard Mook provided one of the highlights of the night and called Drake all the way out. I heard he said he would put Drake back in a wheel chair like his character on that show. And then he said something like “Degrass – over here ain’t green.” Something like that. But anyway, he’s really laid down the gauntlet for that.

Will Drake reply? Doubt it.
