Lil Durk Talks Club "Standoff" With The Game (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) Now that the issues between Chicago’s Lil Durk and Los Angeles’ The Game are settled, Durk is speaking out about exactly what happened the night the two rappers confronted each other at a L.A. club.
Durk spoke with the L.A. Leakers about the incident, and the “Picture Perfect” rapper explained he and his crew felt the need to address the situation with Game face-to-face while both men were in the same room.

Durk said:
The whole club scene was just like a standoff. Like, “I’m holding my ground.” And they’re like, “I’m holding my ground too.” Some people don’t do it like that. Some people rather not walk up to somebody in the club and do it. I heard plenty of times people ran from him. So I was just standing my ground. Where I’m from we don’t run. Especially for us being in another city on the come up. We can’t let nobody do that to us. You know? So we took it upon ourselves – We didn’t approach them like, “You hoe ass n***a. F**k wrong with you?” We just hollered at him like we just wanted to see what it is, see where we standing.
The entire ordeal between Durk and Game started over Tyga’s “ChiRaq To LA” track. Game used the song to defend Tyga by dissing Durk. According to Durk, a phone call was set-up between he and Game, and they were able to squash the beef.
Lil Durk’s new mixtape Signed To The Streets 2 drops today (July 4).

While the two superstars have fired subliminal shots back-and-forth at each other in the past (see “H.A.M.” and “It’s Good”), Wayne reinforced his respect for the Roc Nation emcee in an interview with MTV.
“Hov is the God. I give Hov a big shout out at all times,” said Wayne of his “Hello Brooklyn 2.0” collaborator. “We was just on that D’usse heavy. I don’t write none of my music – what I mean by that is I don’t write it down – so I just go in there and say whatever come to my mind. So what came to my mind that night was what was on my mind that night.”
When asked if Jigga might make an appearance on Tha Carter V Wayne states he doesn’t want to bother Jay, but another collaboration is not out of the question.

Q6-"KaTegory 6 The Real Q6" Feat. DJ Rell
Marquis Daniels may be best known for his prowess on the court as a professional NBA player with the Milwaukee Bucks. But once he puts down the rock, he picks up the mic and spits truths about his life and times as “Q6.” While on the stage or in the studio, Q6 delivers southern-bred rhymes on life outside the paint – the way he truly experiences it.
Having rapped since high school, Q6 quickly developed a love for the rap game just as strong as his affinity for the court. A native of Orlando, Florida, Q6 credits his upbringing in the south for his musical influences. Inspired by the dirty south grittiness of artists like Trick Daddy, Hot Boys, Gucci Mane, Lil Boosie, and BG, along with the stylistic sonic aesthetic of southern players like Outkast, and UGK. He always knew he would find a balance between sports and music and make his living through both.
After completing his stint at Auburn University in only 3.5 years, he joined the league with the Dallas Mavericks. As he got his first dream off the ground, Q6 never forgot about his other passion and maintained a plan to make it a priority once he was more established. Working nonstop on his music while concurrently heating up the hardwood, he puts no time to waste penning rhymes after games and in his down times between flights, recording tracks in the summer off season and on his free days.
Q6 focuses his own rhymes on the truth of his everyday life and the experiences he’s been through. He has already collaborated with southern rap legends like Boosie, Gucci, Trina, and Gangsta Boo to name a few. He most recently got the Maybach Music stamp of approval, with backing from Rick Ross’ MMG Black Bottle Athletes for his latest mixtape release, “Kategory 6.” Check out his KaTegory 6 Mixtape below!

Hip Hop Rumors: Mya Shuts Down Being Jay-Z's Sidepiece Rumor!
Recently reports surface that for years Mya and Jay-Z have been carrying on an affair for years, and Mya came through via Instagram and shut those rumors down quick.
After a fan asked if the report was true, Mya responded with:
“Never did, never was, never will. Illegitimate thirsty sources with no facts and that’s the “media” for you- especially today. I play second to no one, pay my own bills, have my own label, own management company, rely on God only and respect myself & marriage way too much for nonsense. False rumors are crafted for ratings & numbers. And miserable, unhappy people need someone to judge to deter the attention away from their own misery and feel better about their miserable lives. If they did it to Jesus, they’ll do it to anyone. God Bless.”
There’s one out the way, what about all the other reported jumpoffs?
