“It’s talked about right now,” Free added. “Insha’Allah it’ll work out.”

Big Pun's Widow Liza Rios Suing Fat Joe For Over $1 Million
(AllHipHop News) Big Pun’s widow has filed a lawsuit against the rapper’s mentor Fat Joe. TMZ reports Liza Rios wants over a million dollars from Joe for lost income from the sale of Pun’s music.

Rios claims Pun and Joe entered into an agreement to split revenue from the Bronx emcee’s catalog. Rios says she has not received any money from Joe since 2005.
Back in 2009, Rios claimed the lack of royalty money owed to her caused her to move her family into a homeless shelter. Joe responded to her statements during an interview with Hot 97.
”She steps to me and says, ‘Joe, we’re broke. We got no money,'” said Joe. “I said, ’Well listen, People are not going to be sorry for you, because you’re Big Pun’s wife forever. I’m gonna get you some money. Now what do you do?’”
The Terror Squad leader accused Rios of brainwashing her kids into believing he was robbing them of their rightful money. Joe also complained that while Rios was asking for funds in Pun’s name, she was also tarnishing the rapper’s legacy by stating publicly the 700-pound entertainer used to physically assault her.

Ab-Soul Is Open To Black Hippy Battling Against Slaughterhouse (POLL)
(AllHipHop News) Ab-Soul fully embraced battle rap culture when the TDE emcee added a contest between he and Daylyt on his 2014 album These Days. According to a report by Vibe, Soulo shared during his CRWN interview that he is down with his Black Hippy crew taking on Slaughterhouse in a lyrical bout.
[ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE: Statik Selektah Suggests Next Joint Album Could Be With Ab-Soul]
“Them Slaughterhouse n***as are the best rapper for sure… The most rapping-est… them n***as rap!” said Ab-Soul. “I’m with it! I told all of them I’m with it!”
Earlier this year the SH members were asked about a potential battle with Ab, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, and Jay Rock. Royce da 5’9″ answered he did not think that particular match-up would work.
“I don’t think that we’re in the same lane,” said Royce. “I think that we get compared to them because we’re crews. But I’m not so sure that me and Schoolboy could really go at each other, with what he does, versus what I do. It’s not really the same thing.”
One of Royce’s comrades had a different perspective about Black Hippy vs Slaughterhouse. Crooked I stated if the battle did take place his team would come out the victor.
“Let me tell you something, that’s not a shot, because I really appreciate what they do,” said Crooked. “But as a rapper, I feel like I’m supposed to believe that. When I get on the court, nobody could see me. That’s just what I’m supposed to do. But that doesn’t stop me from being a fan of other great lyricists.”

Trina Addresses Rumors She Threw Shots At Khloe Kardashian & French Montana On "F*ck Love" (AUDIO)
(AllHipHop News) The blogosphere and social media had a lot to say about Trina’s new song “F**k Love.” It was assumed the track was about her former boyfriend French Montana and his former girlfriend Khloe Kardashian.
[ALSO READ: Hip-Hop Rumors: Trina Sets The Record Straight]
Trina first addressed the rumors on Twitter, but the Miami native went into further detail about the ordeal in a recent interview.
“Honestly, I’m not thinking about those people. So I don’t understand why anybody would even feel that way or think that, because there’s nothing in the song directed at anybody,” stated Trina.
“Da Baddest B####” goes on to say that she does not need to throw shots at anyone to get attention. She believes her music speaks for itself.
“I don’t take jabs. I don’t do the diss thing. I don’t do the sneaky thing. I’m not a gimmick. I’m a real artist. I’m a real woman,” Trina added. “I’ve been doing this for 14 years, and I don’t need any tricks or trickery around me to put out a great record. This is something I’m known for doing. I guess I get it, because people are always looking for something to talk about, something to make a big deal out of, but for me I could really care less.”

Epic Win or Epic Fail?: Man Survives Homelessness Through One Night Stands!
New York is WILD!
I never lived there so I’m thinking its different…but not this different. These dudes interviewed this homeless man and that homeless dude survives the city by sleeping with random chicks at night. In the day, he begs for money, to a tune of about $150 a day. Does math: THAT’S OVER $50K a year! The only thing is that dude also does drugs and other stuff to p### his money away. But, he’s getting a lot of attention for the way he defends himself against homelessness. What Jay say? Can’t knock the hustle? Guess not.

EXCLUSIVE: Rittz Talks 'Next to Nothing,' & Opens Up About Parents Divorce
Surrounded by carefully crafted façades, Hip-Hop’s essential culture and contributors must work to avoid lurid monotony. Tales of eager b*tches, dazzling jewelry, fabricated street credibility, and disposable incomes challenge the genre’s essence. Rittz, son of Atlanta’s north side, continues to navigate an industry plagued by these fables.
Vowing to remain humble, Mr. White Jesus, uses his pen to deliver his message. Everything from hyperbole, to transparent vulnerability is chronicled on, Next to Nothing. The sophomore perspective reflects the uncertainty of an underground art that has earned an independent existence.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Guess Who Nick Cannon Is Going To Be Managing?
This one is kinda strange but word is Nick Cannon will now be managing none other than…
Amber Rose’s modeling and singing career.
PageSix reports:
“We hear the “America’s Got Talent” host, who is splitting with wife Mariah Carey, is going to manage the model/video girl through his company, NCredible Entertainment.
We’re told Rose, who was once signed to Ford Models and recorded a single in 2012, but is perhaps better known for her choice of minimal outfits (and eye-popping curves), flew to New York to take a meeting with the multifaceted Cannon today.
But Cannon and Rose’s relationship is strictly business — Rose, who is Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend, is now married with a kid to rapper Wiz Khalifa.”
That’s a win for Cannon. Wonder what Mariah Carey thinks…?

THE LOST VOICES: Ferguson’s Secret Youth Brigade Rides For Mike Brown
Just as one of of The Lost Voices was to conduct an interview with AllHipHop, he was arrested by the police, seemingly a move just to jostle the young man’s life. He was released shortly after activists, lawyers and others assembled to get him out.
Despite what the somnolent masses may believe, the embers in the hotbed of Ferguson, MO have yet to cool down. Much of the media is long gone, as busy journalists have fulfilled their assignments and have moved on to the next salacious story. The tanks and militarized police have rolled back, but the battle continues.
The Lost Voices understand this all too well.
The Lost Voices are a rambunctious, political collective that has set up an encampment outside in close proximity to where Mike Brown was slain in August by officer Darren Wilson. Comprised primarily of 10 young people, their goal is to activate their comrades and also turn up for Mike Brown, who could have easily been one of them that Wilson killed in the street. Committed to sleeping outside is no easy task, especially when you have a local government of dense oozes corruption and misconduct. And yet, the Lost Voices understand that they are not alone, connecting revolutionary dots with Organization For Black Struggle (OBS), Black Lives Matter, the ACLU and and a resolute conclave of activists and organizers. They’ve even linked up with drug dealer-turned-activist Freeway Ricky Ross and found inspiration in J. Cole, who visited Ferguson during the uprising.
AllHipHop’s CEO Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur talked to one of the leaders in the Lost Voices, Travis, after their voices started a previous feature story on Ferguson and Mike Brown . (Click here to read “Ferguson’s Struggle: No Games, The Spirit Of Tupac And A Divided Movement”) The 19-year-old conveyed their struggles, woes and emotional terrorism taking place in the Ferguson area, which is truly a microcosm of conduct all across America . More importantly, Travis reveals how the Lost Voices are slowly being found by inserting themselves in the systemic revolution taking place in 2014.
AllHipHop.com: Hey Travis..how are you doing? I heard you had some recent issues with the police?
Travis: Yesterday, I was locked up. I guess I had too much swag in my walk. They got me for “manner of walking” and “obstructing traffic.”
AllHipHop.com: I never heard of a charge like manner of walking. Wow. That’s hard to conceptualize. If they want you, they will find a way. How are you guys holding up aside from the most recent things that have happened?
Travis: We’re holding up pretty good. Right now, we just found a new camp site. And we’re setting up our business. We just got our LLC and getting our tax ID and everything like that squared away.
AllHipHop.com: First of all, how many of you live in the encampment?
Travis: There are 10.
AllHipHop.com: Explain to me, in your own words, what you are doing and what you want to accomplish. A lot of people have not heard of the Lost Voices and want to know.
Travis: What we are about is the youth. The oldest of us is 43. We range from the old to the young and who’s not born yet. We’re just trying to get everybody’s awareness about getting their rights down and being educated about their rights. And, knowing that you don’t have to stand and let the Mike Brown case occur again. We’re trying to end that and bring awareness in our community.
AllHipHop.com: You had to move your camp. Is that due to the police or something else, like the business where you were staying.
Travis: There’s some issue with that. Originally, we was at the Red’s BBQ place, which is like a couple blocks down. They told us we could set up a place to get people to vote – register to vote, but then they changed their mind. Its been a wishy washy thing with them. And then they said they would get the police involved and the lawyers and all that. So, we decided for ourselves to go ahead and move before there are any problems. I guess, later on that night, we had problems because I got arrested. They don’t like what we’re doing I guess.

AllHipHop.com: I guess maybe the restaurant wasn’t interested in having that political portion…
Travis: Yeah.
AllHipHop.com: Where are you guys moving now?
Travis: We’re at the old Ponderosa restaurant.
AllHipHop.com: They are willing to let you all stay there with no issues?
Travis: Actually, we’re trying to find out who owns it, and the building. Until that comes up, we’re not going to worry about that. We have a P.O. Box and a bank account set up to accept donations.
AllHipHop.com: You guys have made an impression. There’s always this reoccurring criticism of young people, that they lack intestinal fortitude when it comes to political engagement. Where do you guys fall into this new form of leadership?
Travis: This was the spur of the moment. We didn’t really see the vision of us growing like this, but to see all the support we’re getting. And realizing….I’ma tell you this too: we were all complete strangers. We didn’t know each other from a can of paint. We took up the position of being leaders to organize ourselves. That’s just great thing that happened, being complete strangers and getting to know one another. Especially in St. Louis. The Mike Brown case, I mean the Mike Brown death…he was the inspiration for us to come together. I can say this. We love J. Cole. He was a part of it. And, NWA was a part of it too. Keeping that attitude.
AllHipHop.com: I saw some video. You guys really get it poppin…
Travis: Yes, sir. I’ll tell you this too. Every time we get on the street, its like a straight concert. And that’s how we get connected to the youth, having some sort of concert for them. So they can have fun and not have to worry bout the extra bulls**t we are going through. That would be like the most treating thing.
AllHipHop.com: New York and New Jersey, where we are, have their issues with police brutality, but the uprising in Ferguson was a completely different thing. What’s it like being a young person in that area? Is this normal? Was Mike Brown a special instance?
RELATED: Live From Ferguson: AllHipHop Gets The Ferguson People’s Side Of The Story
Travis: The Mike Brown situation…that was captured. It was a captured moment, a police killing a young man. I’m sure they’ve killed others the same, but in this instance, it was no longer going to happen again. This could have been me or my twin brother. Like what the f**k? You get antagonized by the police and they are supposed to protect and serve you. And then they wonder why they are being disrespected. They have a distinct attitude about young black men and how they approach us. I’m probably not making any sense right now. But, every time I come around the police, I get nervous. I shouldn’t feel like that every damn time.
AllHipHop.com: There’s a lot of studies about that. Racism is a mental thing. It wears you down, it stresses you out and creates ailments. The actual presence, the intimidation – if you want to call it that. People don’t talk about that much. What would you guys say is your goal? You have a company now.
Travis: The goal of the company is to get the word out. We are speaking for the people. Straight up. For the youth to stand up. That’s a monumental thing. We’re making history now. We want to make people aware of our rights. And voting. Its so important. I had a couple people to get to vote and they didn’t want to, because they didn’t know the elected officials. That’s a f**kin’ problem. Point blank. That’s a big thing that’s got to change. We’ve got strength in numbers.
AllHipHop.com: The population there is mostly Black. It seems like you guys would have an easy time voting in who you want to, or getting somebody in that represents what you want.
Travis: And we have two female Black Senators come to us. Maria (Chappelle-Nadal) and she spent the night with us. That’s the most important thing. We (the youth) don’t trust authority.
AllHipHop.com: The cameras have died down now and the media is not as prominent. What’s it like now? How is the fight carrying on with less media present?
Travis: Its very strong. A lot of the media have left. The Lost Voices haven’t. We’re growing each day in numbers. I’m telling you right now: the passion has not left. The media have gone. We haven’t left until we have justice.
AllHipHop.com: When you talk about justice. A lot of people fight for justice, they want to do it when its easy or don’t have a concept of how long it takes to actually achieve justice. What keeps you motivated, especially with the militarized police.
Travis: I can tell you now. We don’t give a rat’s ass about a tank coming up at us. What was normal was not normal. Us just standing by was not normal. This is normal right now. All of us have gotten together. We’re like a big family. We gotta start someplace. And you gottta teach the children the right way.
AllHipHop.com: Did you know the average member of the Black Panther Party was about the same age as you are? How do you feel about that? A lot of people these days look at leaders as older people, you know Al Sharpton…
Travis: And that’s something that has to change! Like, old young…it doesn’t matter how old you are. You have to have the mindset. We all have the mindset to be leaders. We have grown to be leaders..young leaders. I have never seen so many people with so much passion. You have some that are Bloods and some that are Crips. It doesn’t matter. We came together. That’s the most important thing.

Travis: [Laughs] Of course. We have a couple of rappers. One’s name is Dante and the other’s name is Low-Key. Just wait on that. Lost Voices.
AllHipHop.com: Even though its kind of cliche, Hip-Hop a big way to get the way to get the word out. There’s nothing like Hip-Hop.
Travis: Yeah!
AllHipHop.com: Did you have anything else you wanted to say?
Travis: Until we have freedom we can never have peace. Until we have our freedom, we can never have peace. We have to get our freedom to get our peace.

K. Michelle Bashes Elle Varner & Lil Kim (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) K. Michelle has no chill when it comes to voicing her opinions of fellow female artists Elle Varner and Lil Kim. The Tennessee native visited The Breakfast Club and went in on the two ladies.
When asked what happened between her and former friend Varner, Michelle explained that she and “curly head” had a falling out over comments Michelle made about Varner’s ex-boyfriend Iman Shumpert. Michelle then implied Varner tried to steal her persona.
[ALSO READ: Elle Varner Addresses K. Michelle Feud]
“I was in her ear when she was going through it with Iman like, ‘f**k him’. She wanted to start saying ‘f**k you.’ I was like, ‘this is not you’,” said Michelle. “Next thing, I look up and she’s on couches, turning up going ham on people. I’m like whoa.. Even management was like whoa, the blond wigs.”
Michelle added that she felt Varner stole her sound on a particular record as well. She said, “I’m the only b***h yodeling in these hooks. You can’t do this.”
The former Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star even got new management after the incident, feeling the reps showed favoritism toward fellow client Varner.
When it came to the Queen Bee, Michelle started by saying, “I’m not studyin’ that lady.” Kim’s fans took offense to Michelle referring to Nicki Minaj as “The Queen Of Rap” on Twitter during MTV’s Video Music Awards.
Michelle responded by tweeting, “f**k Lil Kim’s fans” which brought a response from Kim on Twitter. According to the perfomer, if Kim felt some type of way about the tweets the Brooklyn femcee should have called her directly.
“B**h trying to get a VMA moment. Neither one of us was there, motherfu**er. At least I’m in the studio working,” said Michelle. “You been in the game. You could of at least been a guest.”
Michelle did state she views Lil Kim as a legend and looks up to her accomplishments in the industry, but she does not understand why the Hard Core rapper would address her on social media and not via phone.
“Why would you go and talk to me on Twitter? Cause you wanna keep them three fans you got,” said Michelle. “You could’ve been a woman and texted me.”

Mary J. Blige Reflects On The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ready To Die" Album (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) The Notorious B.I.G’s classic debut album Ready To Die is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month.

Blige also reflected on Ready To Die as a complete album. According to the Grammy-winning singer, she knew the project was something special from the very beginning.
“When I first heard Ready to Die, I was like, ‘This kid Biggie, he’s special’,” said Mary. “Because he was saying how a lot of us were feeling at the time. A lot of us were feeling like, ‘I don’t know if I want to live through all of this.’ He was speaking to us, but he was also helping us to see that we probably shouldn’t be ready to die.”
