Oprah Winfrey and her team of phenomenal guest speakers kicked off her 8 city “The Life You Want Weekend” this past weekend in Atlanta, G.A. The tour began with day festivities in Atlanta’s Centennial Park. Bounty hosted a power breakfast for media, tastemakers, and key influencers on Friday morning. The event was the official kick-off to the take over of Oprah’s pop-up town “O-Town”. The panel included celebrity chef Carla Hall of ABC’s “The CHEW,” Karmetria Burton, Supplier Diversity for Delta Airlines, and Nicole Jones of Honesty Jewelry. Each spoke on their journey to success and shared inspiration and tips for how to keep going and continuing to achieve and succeed. CoverGirl, Olay, Pantene, Tide, Charmin, Crest, Kroger and IKEA also had presentation tents as well.

Friday evening Winfrey packed out Phillips arena for day one of her two-day life changing tour experience. Winfrey opened by sharing a story of her friends (such as Gayle King) asking her did she know she was coming to Atlanta with her tour despite the fact that she didn’t have a hit record out and the fact that she couldn’t dance. The crowd erupted with laughter. Lady O is quite the comedian as she made other hilarious jokes throughout Friday evening. Winfrey’s lack of musical and rhythmic talent mattered least as thousands packed out the arena to hear the Queen of All Media speak and emit the inspiration they needed to transform their lives.

The second day of the tour featured Deepak Chopra and Elizabeth Gilbert, inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant and pastor Rob Bell. Winfrey shared many anecdotes from her personal live and journey; many comedic and others soul-stirringly inspirational. There was a personable aspect of the tour; Winfrey made it “an intimate gathering with Oprah” instead of a lecture. The speakers collectively spoke about identifying one’s life purpose and led exercises about the necessary action to take to reach those goals.

The tour has upcoming stops in Auburn Hills, Michigan; Washington, D.C.; Newark, New Jersey; Houston, Texas; Miami, Florids; Seattle, Washington and a final date in San Jose, California.

Oprah brought the Atlanta tour to an end by thanking those in attendance for spending their hard-earned money to attend, and she encouraged them to go forward in their daily lives with the notion that “Together we rise.”

(AllHipHop News) Dreams are worth more than money and a successful album is worth more than meeting a release schedule. Today (September 8th), Rick Ross addressed changes to Meek Mill’s Dreams Worth More Than Money album for the first time since Meek’s incarceration in late July.

Last week, an Atlantic Records rep informed AllHipHop that a new release date for Meek Mill’s sophomore album was not determined. In a statement released to MTV, Ross reasoned that Meek’s album deserves a proper marketing roll out:

MMG and Meek Mill have decided to release Dreams Worth More Than Money at a future date. In true MMG fashion, Meek has dedicated himself to perfecting his sophomore project and it is only right that it should be rolled out exceptionally well. MMG also wants his fans to know that Meek is doing great and he wants to hear from you. So write him at.

In the meantime, keep looking out for new music from the project, keep supporting Meek and KEEP DREAMING! #MMG4LIFE.

Meek was denied early parole last month and will have to await a parole hearing in October.

FOX News Hosts Joke and Laugh About Ray Rice Assault Video (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Fox News should have no friends. Earlier today (September 8th) Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade made a joke in reference to the release of elevator footage of Ray Rice’s assault on his wife this past February.

During a segment of Fox & Friends, the hosts read reactions to the newly released elevator footage of Ray Rice’s assault on his wife at Atlantic City’s Revel hotel. Following the last reaction, co-hosts Kilmeade and Steve Doocy mentioned Chris Brown’s 2009 assault of Rihanna and Solange’s elevator fight with Jay Z from this past May. Afterwards, Kilmeade remarked “I think the message is, take the stairs.” The only female co-host, Elizabeth Hasselbeck laughed in response to the joke.

Fox News has not issued an apology, however a spokesperson for the channel informed the Erik Wemple Blog that its hosts will address the comments on tomorrow’s Fox & Friends. Prior to issuing that statement and Rice incurring new penalties, Fox & Friends’ official Twitter account asked fans if the original 2-game suspension was enough:

Hip-Hop Rumors: How Rick Ross Lost That Weight!

Rick Ross has been the subject of quite a few jokes related to his weight. But, all that has changed if you really look closely. The good brother has lost a lot of poundage in the last year or so. It was especially noticeable at an Atlanta concert earlier this year. I heard that Rick Ross has become very health conscious recently and has taken up a great new diet that’s helped with the weight loss. But there is another factor. I heard Rozay also does a bit of kickboxing! A lot of people actually do that these days, remember Jay does. Anyway, I think its a great look that Ross is taking better care of himself these days. It was looking crazy a couple times when he was having seizures and stuff like that.

Baltimore Ravens Terminate Ray Rice After Assault Video Surfaces (VIDEO)

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire) Updated Category: Headlines
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) This time, the Baltimore Ravens did not wait for the NFL to punish Ray Rice. Hours after footage of Rice punching his now-wife Janay Palmer in a Revel hotel elevator was released, the Baltimore Ravens cut the running back from the team.

Rice was initially levied a two game suspension, scheduled to end Friday (September 12th) and ordered to partake in anger management counseling by the NFL. Today (September 8th), in addition to being cut from the Ravens, the NFL’s commissioner Roger Gooddell has suspended Rice from playing in the NFL indefinitely after new footage of his assault of his wife surfaced.

The original, grainy footage released by TMZ in late February was security camera footage in the lobby of the Atlantic City hotel Revel in which Rice is seen dragging his unconscious wife out of the elevator. In the new  footage from the security camera within the elevator, Rice is seen punching his wife twice in the face, rendering her unconscious.

In a statement released today, the NFL claims it was not made aware of or given access to the newly released footage when the company requested it from the Atlantic Police Department. A spokesperson at Revel informed ESPN that it provided the incriminating footage to the police and none of its employees sold the footage to TMZ.

Wiz Khalifa Talks Being Forcibly Pulled Over By Police, Mike Brown Shooting + MORE (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Wiz Khalifa still has love for the police even if they like to put a gun to his head. During a recent interview, the Blacc Hollywood MC spoke on his constant run-ins with the law, the Mike Brown shooting and more.

A warrant for Wiz Khalifa’s arrest was issued on August 6th when he failed to appear at a court hearing regarding his May arrest over marijuana possession in El Paso, TX. According to Wiz in his interview with 106 FM KMEL, the 27 year old MC says he’s been dealing with improper polic attention for over a decade, at least:

I’ve been driving since I was 16, I never got pulled over one time without having a gun to my head. They always pull me over and say, ‘Get out the car. What are you doing?’ Yanking me out the car. So I know how rough it could be and how you have to be not giving them any type of funk or they’ll do what they have to do. A lot of kids don’t know it’s that real out here.

Khalifa has smoked himself to Zen and even though he admits to having horrible experiences with police he admits that he does not hate cops. On his Curren$y-featured Blacc Hollywood song “House on the Hills”, Wiz addresses the racially biased coverage of his career. When the topic turned to the Mike Brown shooting, Wiz hoped that his song and other artists will help raise awareness of the grave reality an increasing number of young Black males face with the police:

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop was violated on August 30th, 2012 when Chris Lighty passed away from an apparent suicide.  Today (September 8th) two of Ligthy’s closest friends, LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes will discuss his suspicions of wrongdoing involving his death for the first time on the TV show Celebrity Crime Files.

The episode of the TV One show will be narrated by Ice T and will explore the drama surrounding Lighty’s death. A month  after Lighty’s death, Les Levine, a private investigator was hired by 50 Cent and Lighty’s mother to investigate the record executive’s death. Levine informed Fox News that it was highly improbable that Lighty committed suicide due to marital and financial problems:

There is absolutely no possibility that Chris Lighty would commit suicide over money. No I don’t believe that Chris would kill himself over his marriage.

Lighty managed both Busta Rhymes and LL Cool J through his Violator Management company which also housed an up-and-coming 50 Cent. Neither Busta nor LL Cool J have addressed their suspicions of wrongdoing in Lighty’s death. Busta wrote a tribute song entitled “Chris Lighty” days after Lighty’s death and released the song on 1 year anniversary of Lighty’s death.

The episode airs tonight (September 8th) at 10 P.M. EST on TV One.

That 50 Cent guy sure can keep people talking about him. The Breakfast Club jumped right into the beef! LOL! 50 was talking about random old G-Unit stuff with Mobb Deep and whatever and then dropped the bomb when Olivia’s name came in the picture.

“Missy started hiitin’ it.” – 50 Cent.

Did he really say that?
yes animated GIF

Man, go to the 14-minute mark. Olivia should have never opened her mouth, because 50 opened the rumors gate – even though this ain’t great big deal anyway.

50 wild. He said “hittin it.”

(AllHipHop News) The Kanye West-produced track “Gucci Mane” by French Montana is not even out yet and someone is already claiming it is a rip-off of their own music. Atlanta rapper 9Gotti is accusing West, along with Montana’s label heads Diddy and Rick Ross, of stealing his song.

According to TMZ, 9Gotti’s label Chinga Chang Records contacted Kanye, Diddy, and Ross in attempt to prevent French’s version from even being released.

The site reports:

The record label sent a cease and desist letter that’s pretty comical … saying the ripoff may have been a “drunken oversight.” It also takes a shot at Diddy — accusing him of being a music thief — and says Rick Ross should know better because he’s an ex-correctional officer.

French revealed during an interview with Power 106 last month that he did have a song called “Gucci Mane” that features Ross and Lil Wayne. He also acknowledged the Mac & Cheese single was produced by Kanye along with The Mekanics.

Cee Lo Dropped From Navy-Sponsored Event For Controversial Rape Tweets

(AllHipHop News) The fall out from Cee Lo Green’s controversial rape tweets continues. Cee Lo has been dropped from an upcoming performance because of the Goodie Mob member social media posts

Billboard is reporting Cee Lo was dropped from the line up for the United States Navy-sponsored Freedom Live event in Washington DC.

Freedom Live post a statement to its Facebook page about the cancellation. It reads it part:

Unfortunately, one of the performers we signed for the JBAB Freedom Live show on 20 September recently posted comments on social media that we consider to completely inconsistent with Navy core values. Regardless of intent or context, the lack of sensitivity towards an issue that is one of the great challenges facing our Navy is unacceptable.

As a result, we have made the decision to pull Cee Lo Green from the Freedom Live event on 20 September. Little Big Town, the main attraction for the event, will still perform as scheduled. We will announce as soon as possible a replacement opening act of the high quality that you expect and deserve.

Cee Lo received tremendous backlash after a series tweets about rape were posted to his Twitter account. He has since offered an apology for those statements.

The removal from the Freedom Live bill is the latest gig Cee Lo has lost. His show, The Good Life, was recently cancelled by TBS. The network insisted the decision to pull the unscripted show was because of bad ratings and not the recent controversy.
