Rick Ross On Forbes List: "I'm Always Top 5… I Don’t Got No Facts"

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Rick Ross apparently had some issues with where he’s been placed on Forbes annual Hip Hop Cash Kings List. In five years, the Maybach Music Group leader has never cracked the top ten of the magazine’s highest earning rappers in the game.

Rozay spoke with Forbes’ Zack O’Malley Greenburg to offer his thoughts on the coveted list.

“I’m always top five. That’s in my mind,” Ross said. “The beauty of the Forbes list is that it excites the streets. It gives people an idea of what’s going on financially. It inspires the youngsters.”

When Greenburg asked the Miami native for more information about his concert appearances that would support his claim he should be among Diddy, Jay Z, and Dr. Dre at the top of the Cash Kings List, Ross replied, “I’m just giving you my guess. I don’t got no facts.”

Ross adds he feels fortunate to be “associated with success” and a brand such as Forbes. The Forbes Hip Hop Cash Kings List 2014 will be revealed next week.

According to TMZ, Iggy says Wine unlawfully downloaded material from her laptop in 2009 when the two were living together in Atlanta. Wine had threatened to release an EP of Iggy’s previously recorded tracks that he states would “shock the world.”

Iggy is suing Wine to prevent the EP from coming out on the grounds the project was created from the music stolen from her computer. Iggy also refutes she signed a contract with Wine that gave him permission to release her work. She calls the document a forgery.

The Island Records artist has also threatened to sue the p### company Vivid Entertainment over attempting to purchase and distribute her apparent sex tape with Wine. According to reports, Wine is still planning to release the footage.

Russell Simmons: Public Enemy Made Louis Farrakhan Popular

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) In part three of Noisey’s “Back & Forth” interview with Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin, the two Def Jam founders discussed one of the label’s iconic acts – Public Enemy. Simmons offered high praise for the legendary rap group.

“Public Enemy changed everything about Black America. They made [Louis] Farrakhan popular,” said Simmons. “They helped make the Million Man March. They put red, black, and green s**t around n***as’ necks instead of chains. They did everything. They were amazing.”

Public Enemy made an undeniable mark on Hip Hop and mainstream culture. Albums like 1988’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and 1990’s Fear of a Black Planet are considered some of the greatest rap LPs ever created.

“After months, finally they came in and they said, ‘Okay, we’re ready to do this, but it’s not Chuck D. It’s Public Enemy. The Hip Hop version of The Clash,” explained Rubin about the roll out of P.E. to the public. “Here’s Professor Griff. Here’s Flavor Flav. Here’s Hank. Here’s The Bomb Squad. We’re going to have the S1W’s. They had the whole thing planned out. And I said anything you want to do.”

Dr. Dre Scrapped "Detox" Title For Next Album

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) All the running jokes that Dr. Dre’s album Detox is never coming out appear to be completely factual. According to Aftermath producer Dawaun Parker, Dre changed the name of his next album years ago.

“Here’s the thing that a lot of people don’t know… at one point a couple of years ago – and I’m only saying this because [R&B singer] Marsha Ambrosius revealed more – that the album [Dre’s] working on is not called ‘Detox’,” said Parker. “He scrapped ‘Detox’ a couple of years ago, and came up with another title. I won’t say what the title is cause I haven’t seen that online or anything yet.”

“This album is my ode to having fun in the midnight hour,” says Quik. “That’s the best time for making music in my opinion. It’s quiet, especially if you’re in a recording studio. You can hear everything and you know everybody’s asleep. You can sneak and do your best work.”

Fans that pre-order the album now on iTunes get the free track “That Getter” featuring Quik’s son David Blake. Early purchasers will then receive “Pet Semetary” on September 30. The Midnight Life also features appearances by El Debarge, Bishop Lamont, Suga Free, Dom Kennedy, Mack 10, and more.

“Musically, this album is a bulls-eye for me,” adds the Compton representative. “Can’t nobody tell me different because I’ve seen it give people chills. I’ve seen it make people happy, smile, drink, party, dance, ask for it on repeat. This album is for people who like to have fun.”

Quik will be performing on the Murs 316 Stage at L.A.’s Sunset Strip Music Festival this Sunday. The Midnight Life is scheduled for release on October 14. Pre-order is available now on iTunes.

BeatKing Ft. DJ Chose – "Stand Behind Her"

By: Scooby Wilson (@mcscoobins)Category: MOBILE

BeatKing reunites with DJ Chose for yet another strip club anthem “Stand Behind Her”. The menacing instrumental (which features sporadic stabs of what sound like the “Jaws” theme) allows BeatKing to give us plenty of quotables in stuttered bursts, before the whole track evolves into a Three 6 Mafia-channelling refrain of “Where them hoes at?”.

The unrelenting banger will live on the Houston rapper’s upcoming mixtape, Club God 4, which is due out November 24th. If you’re keeping track, you’ll also know that he also has a collaborative tape with Gangsta Boo dropping September 30th.

Hip-Hop Rumors: French Montana Not Feeling Trina's Diss

By: KubeezzCategory: Rumors

French Montana and friends aren’t feeling the new track from Da Baddest B****.

TMZ reports the crew feels that Trina had what was coming to her: karma.

french_trina4

“Trina has some nerve hating on Khloe Kardashian for stealing French Montana away from her … because Trina did the exact same thing to French’s wife … so claim friends of French (FOF).

Trina’s blasting French and Khloe in a new song “F*** Love” … “You can keep that purse, you can keep that whip, you can have that b####.”

But FOF say the song should have been called “Karma” … because she started banging French while he was still married.

We’re told French had feelings for Trina … but she was never “his main girl” … so it’s a case of no harm, no foul.

Final shot …FOF say Trina’s new song is a lame attempt to jump start her career off French and Khloe.”

Welp. They do have a point. The same way you get a man could be the same way you lose him…
