Beyonce Appears On TIME's "100 Most Influential People" List For 2nd Straight Year , Jay Z Falls Off The List

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) The Earth’s population is roughly 8 billion people and TIME magazine has once again narrowed that down to “The 100 Most Influential People”. For the second year in a row, Beyonce was named on the list and appears on the cover for the issue.

Last year, both Jay Z and Beyonce appeared on TIME’s 100 Most Influential People list in the Titan and Icon categories, respectively. Howver, Jay Z was omitted from this year’s list. While his Samsung deal for Magna Carta Holy Grail‘s release was innovative, Beyonce’s album release strategy was apart of the reasoning for her selection on the list, according to Sheryl Sandberg, the first woman to serve on Facebook’s board of trustees:

In December, she took the world by surprise when she released a new album, complete with videos, and announced it on Facebook and Instagram. Beyoncé shattered music-industry rules — and sales records.

Beyonce was placed in the same Titan category her husband had occupied the year prior. Check out Beyonce cover TIME’s “100 Most Influential People In The World” issue below:

Hip Hop Rumors: Guess Who Put A Ring On Nelly's Old Boo's Hand?

By: KubeezzCategory: MOBILE

Tae Heckard and Nelly have been dating for awhile, but word is Nelly backslid and got caught up messing around with his ex, Murder Inc.’s former princess Ashanti.

Well looks like Tae couldn’t forgive and forget and moved around to NBA baller Brandon Jennings (supposedly Teyana’s new song ‘Sorry’ is aimed at him). And Tae is soaking it up, she’s been spotted sitting courtside at a few Pistons games.

Brandon-tae-engaged

Jennings is clearly smitten with the video vixen/actress/socialite, and word is this past weekend he may have put a ring on it.

 

 

 

Hip-Hop Rumors: Jeezy, T.I. And Rocko Album?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

What do we have here?

These days it seems like the rumors are all about the gossip and nobody really cares about the music. But, here’s a switch up. I’m getting word that Jeezy, Tip and Rocko will be doing a whole album together. Now, this info comes from DJ MLK, who was interviewed by HipHopSince1987.com. But, I’m not 100% sure this will happen so I had to rumor it! “[I’m not] supposed to do this, but f### it. Y’all about to hear a project—I don’t know when it’s coming out,” DJ MLK said. “I don’t know when it’s coming out, but you heard it here first. T.I., you got Jeezy, and you got Rocko. It’s gonna be an album. It’s gonna be those three guys…Y’all stay tuned. Y’all gonna see some advertisements on it. But you heard it first, man.”

What do you think?

EXCLUSIVE: Lil Bibby Talks Upcoming Jadakiss and J. Cole Collabs, Advice From David Banner + MORE (VIDEO)

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Lil Bibby will be the first (or second, after Drake) to tell you that nothing was the same after he gained national attention for his “Water” track last year. The Chicago rapper spoke EXCLUSIVELY with AllHipHop about a potential collaboration with J. Cole, advice he received from David Banner and more.

The old Hip Hop adage, “more money, more problems” permeates every story of a young MC’s rise to fame and Bibby’s story is inextricable of this fact. Coming from the volatile streets of Chicago, Bibby explains how fame has made him paranoid about the people who approach him:

I got to sit behind the tints now. People were flagging the car down. Yeah, man. I got a lot of enemies, so I don’t know if they trying to do something to me or say what’s up. So, I sit behind the tints.

Bibby later attests that “friends and family get to acting different” and claims it is increasingly difficult for him to remain the same. A bit of enlightening advice from David Banner helped with his understanding of dealing with fame:

I was talking to David Banner and he told me, ‘Don’t go crazy. You got look at it like this: He said ‘you, your regular person and your rapper character are not the same people. You will go crazy trying to think that and trying to be the same person all the time. But, you just got to embrace it.’

Back in January, Bibby announced that Pusha T and Jadakiss may appear on the “Water” remix. Three months later, not only does Bibby reveal that he is still awaiting his verse from Jadakiss but states that J. Cole reached out for a collaboration and may appear on Bibby’s upcoming project The Book.

Lil Boosie: Sizzurp Tastes Like Kool Aid and Almost Killed Me 3 or 4 Times

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Lil Boosie, recently released from prison after a five year sentence, is rejoicing for the ending of another torture of his that was seldom known. In an interview with TMZ, the Baton Rouge rapper speaks on his near lethal relationship with codeine cough syrup drink “sizzurp”.

Sizzurp (also referred to as “lean”) is a drink concoction that involves codeine cough syrup. Back in 2011, Boosie was indicted for allegedly attempting to smuggle sizzurp into the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Boosie informed TMZ “Once you on, it’s hard to get off … it’s damn near impossible.”

While Boosie admits that the drink tastes like Kool Aid, he does reveal that it almost killed him approximately four times. Yesterday (April 23rd), a representative from a leading producer of codeine cough syrup, Actavis informed TMZ that the negative press over the years has influenced the company to stop production of the medication:

Given [recent media attention], Actavis has made the bold and unprecedented decision to cease all production and sales of its Promethazine Codeine product.

Tommy Hilfiger Says Hip Hop In The 90s Was A Trend He Is Done Chasing

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Back in 1992, Tommy Hilfiger became the first fashion designer to take his company public and grew to become a company worth $1.9 billion by the end of the decade. During a recent interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Tommy Hilfiger addresses Hip Hop’s influence on his brand’s success and why he is no longer “chasing trends”.

At the end of 1990, Tommy Hilfiger Corporation was valued at over $100 million after starting in 1985. During that decade, Hip Hop artists began to wear the brand heavily and while Hilfiger attributes the genre with helping the growth, but states he is no longer in the business of chasing trends:

Look, it fueled a lot of growth, but it took us away from our roots. We came back to our roots 10 years ago; that’s when our business started to really stabilize and grow again. When people ask me advice, I say stick to who you are. Stick to your guns. There is an image and attitude to most brands and that’s really important. I like to stick to my heritage and not chase trends and at that point we were chasing trends. Chasing trends was easy but it was dangerous. It’s more important to me now to be consistent.

Back in the late 90s, a rumor spread about Tommy Hilfger making disparaging comments about his brand’s popularity amongst the Hispanic, African American and Jewish community on an unaired episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Hilfiger appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007 and addressed the rumors.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Drake Cheat On Rihanna?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Rumors

I didn’t even know that Drake and Rihanna were together like that to be “cheating.” But, here comes the rumors. OK?

OK.

Apparently, the boy Drizzy picked a chick up off Instagram. And when he did, he gave her the royal treatment, flying her from there to there (Houston to Toronto) so could reportedly link up with her. These chicks get picked up and jumped off off the Instagram now. I gotta get active! LOL! Anyway! The streets are saying Drake has been seen with the Chick again and this apparently means he’s not doing right by RiRi. OK.

The internets are saying this means its over. OK.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

Minaj posted a short clip of herself (she claims it’s “a friend”) dancing. She added on Twitter that the record playing in the background is “not thee song.” But it could possibly be a new track from the Queens artist.

The Pink Friday creator recently told MTV that her next album will not include pop songs like her hits “Super Bass” and “Starships.”

“With ‘Chi-Raq’ and ‘Lookin’ Ass,’ they’re definitely back to my Hip Hop roots. And I don’t think it’s something that I’m necessarily trying to do,” said Nicki. “As soon as I started working on my third album, that’s just the songs that I’ve been writing.”
