Dame Dash: Jay Z and I Could Make Some Money Together With Reasonable Doubt Anniversary
(AllHipHop News) Dame Dash does not want to bring back Roc-a-Fella Records, but he would not mind making some more money off of its history. Yesterday (June 25th), Dame Dash hinted that he would be willing to work with his old friend Jay Z for the 20th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt.
Jay Z’s debut album was released on June 25th, 1996 and the ownership of the album’s masters were split between Dash, Jay Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke. On the 18th anniversary, Dash went to his personal Instagram account to voice his interest in working with Jay Z on the 20th anniversary in 2016:
Me and jay still own this together we might have to do a reasonable tour…maybe for the 20th anniversary…that way we could all make some money… I don’t see why he wouldn’t…might have to holla #freebiggs
While Dame claims that he owns the rights to Reasonable Doubt with Jay Z that will soon change. When Jay Z became President of Def Jam in 2004, a 10 year hold on his masters was placed that will expire at the end of this year. Jay Z will retain full ownership of his masters and publishing rights. Last year signed a deal with Warner/Chappelle Music to have them help administer the copyrights for Jay Z and other Roc Nation artists.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Big Meech Put The Word Out On Rick Ross?
I am glad to be a nerdy kinda guy. Because these dudes ain’t playing. The word on the streets is BIG MEECH himself, put the word out on Rick Ross and that was executed by others, possibly Trick Trick. Now, if you didn’t know, Trick Trick issued a PSA about his involvement or non-involvement in the case. I wasn’t clear after the video ended, but it sure seemed like it. Also, the Detroit concert in question was on Big Meech’s birthday, which may have been a cause for contention especially if Rozay planned to rock his biggest hit (“B.M.F.”). Now if you don’t know Meech, I suggest you google that, but its well known you don’t mess with him or BMF. Seems like some folks feel Ross should have paid his hood tax, but Trick Trick said he personally didn’t do anything like that. By the way, Meech is serving a 30-year prison term so he’s exercising his power from there.
That story is over here:

Hip Hop Rumors: French Montana Already Playing Khloe?
If Khloe Kardashian thought that getting with French would be less drama, she thought wrong. Khloe should have taken her fam’s advice because word is he’s already creepin’.
A Boston radio intern is coming forward saying that she had an encounter with French after a concert. The intern was seeking an interview for her YouTube channel and got way more than she bargained for.
RadarOnline reports:
“When she snagged Montana’s manager to make the request, the hip-hop star — who has been inseparable from Kardashian, 29, since April — allegedly looked Mariela over and said, “I’ll give her the interview. But first, I have to interview her.”
“French kicks out all the other girls and takes my cell phone away. Before he takes my phone, he says, ‘Here, call me so I can have your number in case you get lost.’ I have his number, that’s my proof,” Mariela claimed. “We’re making small talk, then he says, ‘Let’s go to my tour bus so we can do the interview.’”
Once they climbed into the bus, Montana began sweet-talking the young Lawrence resident.
“He says . . . ‘Whenever you want to visit me in New York, I’ll fly you out there,’”Mariela continued.
Suddenly, Mariela says Montana’s entourage left the bus— leaving the two completely alone.
“He climbs on top of me,” she said. “I say, ‘I’m not about this life. I have morals. I have a lot to lose.’ He says, ‘I have a lot to lose, too. You know that I have a girlfriend!’”
As the rapper licked her ear, the terrified intern says she attempted to get out of his grasp.
“He wouldn’t get off me. I had to double push,” she concluded, adding that she snagged her cell phone, ran out of the bus and asked her brother for a ride home.”
Could this be the beginning of the end for the new odd couple? Poor Khloe just can’t catch a break.

Footage of Kim Kardashian Addressing Kanye West Impersonator In Blackface (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) This past February, Kim Kardashian accompanied Australian businessman Richard Lugner to the Vienna Ball in Austria. During her time there she was approached by a man in blackface impersonating Kanye West and footage of that encounter has been released.
The incident was caught on camera as Kim and her mother Kris Jenner were filming for their Keeping Up With The Kardashians‘ reality TV show. According to Kim, her first reaction to the man in blackface was confusion:
I can’t believe there’s this guy in full blackface. I just am so confused. I don’t get why him or anyone else would find this funny.
Kim and her mother abruptly left the ball.

Kendrick Lamar Says The Industry Has Become Soft & Lacks Aggression
(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar sparked a major lyrically combative moment in Hip Hop last year when his verse from Big Sean’s “Control” made its way to the Internet. Dozens of rappers responded to K. Dot’s challenge to knock him off the throne.
In an extensive feature in the New York Times, the TDE emcee shares his opinion on the lack of competition and aggression in rap music today.

“If my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don’t want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you’ve got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what’s gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper,” says Lamar. “Everybody that’s in the industry has lost their edge… There’s really no aggression. You gotta say things particular, and everything is so soft.”
The good kid, m.A.A.d city creator also discusses opening for Kanye West’s “Yeezus Tour.” Top Dawg Entertainment’s president Terrence “Punch” Henderson reveals TDE originally did not want Lamar to take the gig, because they wanted him to focus on recording his next album.
Apparently, West and his team wanted Kendrick so badly they got the Compton, California native a tour bus with a recording studio and insisted his show have a prominent role beyond the typical opening act status. Kendrick now seems pleased he did not turn that opportunity down.

“It’s a different kind of thrill when an actual artist asks you, when Kanye asks you,” reflects Lamar on going on the road with one of the biggest music stars in the world. “Now I know he’s really interested in what I do.”
Kendrick is currently working on his sophomore major label LP. Back in February, TDE CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith hinted the project could arrive in September, but recent developments lean toward the next K. Dot album coming at a later date.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Are Kim And Kanye Fighting Already? Right After The Wedding?
Is there trouble in paradise already? Kanye and Kim were just married a while ago, but it seems like all is not well. The Dish Nation crew is saying that they are fight over…Kim’s hoarding? Check out what they have to say.
Kim Kardashian has a secret hoarding habit and it’s causing a major rift with Kanye West. The reality star – who has previously admitted that she has OCD tendencies-is running out of space for her clothes, shoes and beauty products, and the moody rapper is demanding Kim downsize before they move into their marital home.
“Kim rents two storage lockers and had two rooms in her old house reserved for piles of clothes and shoes she never wears,” an insider told Dish Nation. ”So she had their contractor build in an even larger hangar-like space in their new house for all of her stuff. Kim also keeps years of backdated magazine and newspaper clippings that she’s been mentioned in.
Kanye doesn’t mind that Kim is so self-involved; he just wishes she was more organized about it. He told her to scan it onto a hard drive and to toss the paper trail.” ”They had their first major post-wedding fight after Kanye threw out boxes of Kim’s hoarded items because Kanye says Kim’s crap is wrecking his design aesthetic.”
The newly married couple has been living at mom-ager Kris Jenner’s Calabasas mansion since the June 2013 birth of North West, while renovating their $11 million Bel-Air mansion, including expanding it from 9,000 to 14,000 square feet.
Kim, who is a clean freak who previously copped to being a beauty product hoarder, “hates how Kanye keeps things so sterile, like a museum.” ”They don’t see eye to eye on this topic.
Kim was furious after Kanye told her she should go on a show like ‘Hoarders.’ He warned Kim that he can’t live with her if she continues to stockpile useless goods.”
I don’t know. They look pretty damn happy here at North West’s birthday party.

Ja Rule Alleges 50 Cent Is A Snitch In New Book "Unruly"
(AllHipHop News) Ja Rule is set to release his new book Unruly: The Highs and Lows of Being a Man next week. The autobiography covers the platinum selling performer’s life from childhood to his time in federal prison where he underwent a personal transformation. The memoir also reportedly addresses his former rival 50 Cent.
[ALSO READ: 50 Cent: I Would Have Went At Jay Z If He Had Helped Ja Rule (VIDEO)]
According to the New York Daily News, Rule suggests 50 snitched on his business partner Irv Gotti to federal officials. Gotti and his brother Chris Lorenzo were charged with money laundering in 2005. Rule writes, “[50] secretly led them through his recordings for the answers they were looking for.” The Lorenzo brothers were later acquitted.
Ja also suggests 50 may have named him in the 2000 shooting incident where the G-Unit boss took nine bullets. “When [the feds] asked him who he thought had shot him, it would make sense that 50 would have said, ‘Ja Rule, Irv Gotti and Murder Inc.'”
In another section of Unruly, the “Holla Holla” rapper gives his side of two infamous fights between Murder Inc and G-Unit. One in Atlanta where he insists he hit 50 with a bat before his crew ran off, and another in New York where he claims to have slammed a speaker down on 50 as he crouched in a corner.
50 has repeatedly denied being a federal informant or working with police. The feud between 50 Cent and Ja Rule led to a shift of power in rap music. 50’s reemergence on the scene in 2003 and his rise to becoming one of the biggest stars in the genre came at the expense of Ja Rule and Murder Inc’s decline.
“50 was a crazed man on a mission to destroy me,” writes Ja. The Ja Rule/50 Cent beef was reportedly settled in 2011.
Ja Rule’s Unruly: The Highs and Lows of Being a Man will be available on Tuesday, July 1. To preorder a copy visit amazon.com

Trick Trick Speaks On Rick Ross/"No Fly Zone" Situation
(AllHipHop News) Earlier this week Rick Ross finally addressed the cancellation of his performance at Hot 107.5′s Summer Jamz concert in Detroit, and now the other person linked to the incident is speaking out about the situation.
[ALSO READ: Rick Ross Speaks On Not Performing At Detroit Concert (VIDEO)]
The reason Ross was blocked from the venue that night was allegedly tied to rapper Trick Trick’s “No Fly Zone” rules. In a video message, Trick expresses his anger that his movement has been misinterpreted and that whatever happened between he and Ross does not belong in the media.
My “No Fly Zone” ain’t about taking nobody’s money. I don’t want your motherf**king money. Nobody. What the f**k I look like telling somebody you got to pay me to come to my town? Don’t you think I would have been in f**king prison if that’s what was going on? And as far as the incident the other day, you see what the f**k the police said – no arrests were made. So what the f**k did I do wrong? That man said didn’t nothing happen to him. He’s correct, nothing happened to him.
Nobody had the right to be making no mini-documentaries and putting it out in the atmosphere any-motherf**king-way. It didn’t belong out there. Y’all should have been talking about all the great artists that did perform that evening. The good part about it instead of going right after the negativity. Y’all got the game f**ked up.
That’s what wrong with this motherf**ker now. Ain’t nobody talking about no music. That man’s a musician. I’m a musician. Our business don’t belong on the Internet. It ain’t none of your motherf**king business what me and that man [have] going on or what the f**k happened that day.
[ALSO READ: Rick Ross Blocked From Performing In Detroit; Reportedly “In Fear Of His Life”]
The mini-documentary Trick is referring to is a YouTube video created by Hot 107.5 that showed footage of the station’s Jay Hicks telling the crowd at the concert that Ross was not hitting the stage because he was “in fear of his life.” The video also featured different radio personalities explaining Trick’s “No Fly Zone.” It has since been taken down from the Internet.
Trick goes on to apologize to concert goers upset over not being able to see Ross perform at the show, and he states artists are welcome to come to Detroit as long as they connect with him or one of the city’s “representatives” to offer support to the citizens. He also asserts his only goal is to teach his brothers how to stand up for what they believe in in a nonviolent way.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Has R. Kelly Disowned His Trangengered Child?
I am sure you saw the story by now, that R. Kelly has a daughter that has opted to become a boy. So, she is now a he named Jay. Jay has lightly reached out to R. Kelly, mostly through the media. I’m quite sure he needs some money to make that sex change official. Anyway, the word on the street is that Kellz has written off poor Jay and will not speak to him. Other seems to think he’s in denial, rooted in a recent interview. With Chi-Town’s WGCI, Kelly said, “You don’t really want to open it up by saying my daughter is becoming my son. Don’t even give the blogs that kind of credit. You know what I’m saying? Real talk.” Some people claim Jay is R. Kelly’s Karma coming home to roost, I don’t. I just think its a sign of times changing.
