(AllHipHop News) When Kendrick Lamar’s verse from “Control” was released, it reinvigorated the sport of competitive rapping in the mainstream. During a recent interview with Microphone Bully, one of the most celebrated battle rappers of all time, Loaded Lux spoke on Kendrick Lamar’s potential as a battle rapper and who would win in a battle between the two.

Lux stated that Kendrick’s wordplay ability would be the reason he would be able to excel as a battle rapper:

Definitely. Kendrick is a wordsmith and the game is built on the word. His writing, descriptive writing, he does that very well. Shout out to him and we got a chance to build. Great dude, great individual.

(AllHipHop News) People are still attempting to wrap their heads around the fact that Angie Martinez will no longer be on Hot 97. In an interview two days after announcing her resignation on Twitter and Instagram, Angie Martinez explains why she left Hot 97 for its biggest competitor.

Angie Martinez does not start her new show on Power 105.1 and Miami’s The Beat until July. However, according to Martinez in an interview with Billboard, her move from the station she’s worked at for over 20 years was based on her “growth potential”:

The thing is about the move – it’s not just going down the dial. It’s about joining a team and a company that really offers me all kinds of growth potential.

Martinez says her departure was amicable, but states she “had to take my emotion out of it” when deciding to leave. Her former colleague Cipha Sounds was announced today (June 23rd) as the replacement for her 3 P.M. slot.

EXCLUSIVE: Ice T Talks New Body Count Album, Killing White People In Music Video + MORE (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Ice T has not released a body of music in eight years, but his rock/rap hybrid group Body Count is preparing to release their fifth album later this year. In an EXCLUSIVE interview with AllHipHop Ice T explains the concepts of the new album, why only white people were murdered in the band’s latest video “Talk Sh*t, Get Shot” and more.

Last month, Body Count and Ice T released the music video for their single “Talk Sh*t, Get Shot” and received large amount of criticism for the video being that only white people were shot. According to T, the race of the victims in the videos were purely the director’s vision and not his or the group’s:

The video director only brought white people for us to shoot. I didn’t direct that video. So the guy, Frank, he brought his friends. People were lining up to get killed. So we snatched the Black guy. But, I didn’t say ‘I want to shoot an Asian and a Mexican. That, people overintellectualized the music.

The group has a history of controversial music, none more culturally abrasive than 1992’s “Cop Killer”. According to T, the world that Body Count creates in their music is not always identical to reality:

Body Count is intentionally hyper-violent,  hyper-sexual Rock-N-Roll. I call it Grindhouse music. It’s like the movie Machete or something. It’s over the top. So, in the world of Body Count, I can reach through a phone and snatch somebody. The bloggers get shot..and the cops get killed. It doesn’t really happen in real life, but that’s a part of the artform.

(AllHipHop News) At this point in time, Ice Cube’s legacy is half-music and half-acting with a few classics under his belt. During an EXCLUSIVE interview with AllHipHop’s Jake Crates, Cube explains his interest in doing a remake or sequel to the seminal film Boyz N The Hood.

In the 1991 film directed by John Singleton,  Cube played Darrin “Doughboy” Baker. According to Cube, his interest in doing a sequel is contingent on the quality of the script:

I would definitely consider it. If someone had a great script of a great idea to put it together, I would definitely be open to it. I think there is always room for those types of things, when they are done right.  You know… I think it’s an interesting concept, yea I’d be open to it.

Cube and Dr. Dre recently revealed the actors whom will depict them in the upcoming N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton. John Singleton is currently working on an upcoming, untitled Tupac biopic.

If you type in “felon” and “meek,” Meek Mill won’t even come up in Google. This other dude Jeremy Meeks is the one that comes up in the site rooted in analytics and whatever. Well, this dude Jeremy Meeks that has a bunch of names like “the pretty felon” and “handsome mugshot felon” and he’s now got his 15 minutes. But, the word on the street is that his 15 minutes may be extended if he can get out of jail. There is a rumor that Meeks may have a reality show on the way if he can get out of the bing and into a different reality. You probably already know, but his mugshot got a lot of people’s panties moist when it started to circulate virally. A local ABC affiliate in the San Joaquin County, California area, where Meeks is incarcerated said the dude is appreciative of the acclaim but tell the people “I’M INNOCENT!” He also re-affirmed that he’s married. What is the irony in that? All that cooch loving him in the world and he’s in jail with a bunch of sweaty men? YUCK!!!!! Gotdamn that a curse wrapped in a paradox! Anyway, Meeks’ wife is not feeling all this attention at all! But, if he was committed to her, why should she care? LOL! She may be scared Rihanna gonna start feeling her guy. Stockton, where dude is from is close to Hollyweird and they are looking to get this man a show. Where, why and who, I don’t know. It could be talk.

Dude’s bail is set at $1 million. Good luck buddy!

(AllHipHop News) Three months after Aaliyah informed the world Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number, the then 15 year old Aaliyah allegedly married one of the album’s key contributors: R. Kelly. In the upcoming Lifetime biopic on the life of Aaliyah, the songstresses’ alleged marriage will be explored according to the film’s executive producer. Aaliyah: Princess of R&B is based on the Aaliyah biography Aaliyah: More Than a Woman written by Christopher John Farley. According to the film’s executive producer, Debra Martin Chase speaking with The New York Daily News’ Page Six, Aaliyah’s “Aaliyah’s personal and professional relationship with R. Kelly will be explored”:

Aaliyah’s personal and professional relationship with R. Kelly will be explored with care in the film as we set out to depict her life with the utmost respect. Above all else, it’s our hope to inspire an entirely new generation with her music and larger-than-life talent.

In the mid-90s, Vibe Magazine released an alleged marriage certificate between Kelly and Aaliyah. The parents of Aaliyah allegedly had the marriage annulled as the alleged certificate placed the 15 year old singer’s age at 18. Last December Chicago Sun Times music journalist Jim DeRogatis spoke with The Village Voice and revealed the full details R. Kelly’s alleged sextape with an underage teen back in 2002. During his interview he explained how Aaliyah’s mother was displeased with the affect Kelly had on her daughter:

I had Aaliyah’s mother cry on my shoulder and say her daughter’s life was ruined, Aaliyah’s life was never the same after that. That’s not an experience you’ve had. I’m not expecting you to feel the same way I do.

Check out DeRogatis’ full interview, which includes court documents from the case, here.

Chris Brown is still clearly not over Rihanna, and made it painfully obvious in a L.A. nightclub, when he demanded that the DJ played her songs.

Star Magazine says:

“An employee at L.A. hookah lounge The Spot tells Star that the singer threw a fit during a recent visit when the DJ queued up songs by his ex. “Chris was in good spirits until Rihanna’s song “Diamonds” started playing,” the eyewitness explains. “Suddenly, he was fuming, pacing around like he was about to start a fight!”

Never one to take the high road, Chris brattily demanded that the DJ strike RiRi from the playlist. “Things got pretty heated,” the employee recalls, adding that the DJ retaliated by playing “Started From the Bottom” by Rihanna’s on-off boyfriend Drake!
“Chris was absolutely livid,” the spy adds. “Thankfully, the DJ laughed and changed the song — but it did make a few good minutes of entertainment at Chris’ expense!”

Talk about case of the ex…

 

Hip Hop Rumors: Jay-Z Creeping With Alleged Former Flame?

We know you remember back in the day Hov hopped on Mya’s ‘Best of Me’ remix, it quickly became a summer anthem, but word is that’s not the only thing he hopped on…

CrazyDaysandNights revealed that the two have had an ongoing relationship for a minute now, and Mya doesn’t have to worry about scoring a hit, because Hov pays all her bills…

“When people talk about Jay-Z and his mistresses, they often forget about a mainstay who has been there forever. She is the person he calls when he needs to be discreet and thinking about old times. She is that very short named R&B singer who hasn’t had a hit in awhile and doesn’t really even act or record any longer. She basically lives off the generosity of Jay-Z and a couple of other guys. She peaked at A-.Mya”

Jay’s got it but we’d hope he’s not spending it to keep his mistresses comfy…
