(AllHipHop News) Odd Future may terrorize some parents with their lyrics but immigration officials in New Zealand appear to perceive the group as actual threats to the New Zealand public. According to immigration officials in New Zealand are risks to the public of New Zealand and revoked their visas as the group was en route to the airport.
The group was scheduled to perform at Eminem’s Rapture tour this Saturday (February 15th). Referencing The Immigration Act of 2009, the immigration officials’ statement stated the group were “likely to be, a threat or risk to public order or the public interest.” Their evidence for this suspicion was when a Boston police officer was injured while escorting Tyler, the Creator out of Newbury Comics after “the crowd of more than 100 had become overwhelming” according to reports. The incident was not specifically named but was referenced in the officials’ statement:
Odd Future has been deemed to be a potential threat to public order and the public interest for several reasons, including incidents at past performances in which they have incited violence. In one instance, a police officer was hospitalised following a riot incited by Odd Future,
Tyler, the Creator and Odd Future’s manager Christian Clancy took to their personal Twitter account to announce the group’s displeasure of the turn of events:
OF IS BANNED FROM NEW ZEALAND, AGAIN. THEY SAID WE WERE ‘TERRORIST THREATS AND BAD FOR THE SOCIETY’ OR WHATEVER. SICK. THEY ARE ANTI GOLF
— Tyler, The Creator (@fucktyler) February 13, 2014

Back in 2012, Odd Future’s scheduled performance at Australian music festival Big Day Out was axed after public concerns over Odd Future’s perceived homophobic lyrics.
I don’t know what happened over the last few hours, but Nicki Minaj has removed offensive single art that included Malcolm X. The single for “Lookin’ A$$ Ni99a” was released and it caused a huge furor because the art featured a famous image of Malcolm X looking out the window. That image has been popularized, but also, it distorts the reality of Malcolm too – that he was some gun toting radical. The facts are quite different.
Behind the scenes and even in social media, there was a furor growing. With the anniversary of Malcolm’s death coming, I can only image it was going to get really bad for Nicki. Ultimately, why she decided to pull it, nobody knows. We’re just happy she did. ANYWAY…we won’t promote it any further since its now gone.
There was no controversy when KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions did this. I wonder if they could get away with it creatively today. I think so because the content was so different. They didn’t even use the word ni99a back then.
Even thought it has been taken off IG, there is no word on if that means she’s killing it completely.

(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim may be pregnant but she wants to make it clear that she is still a performer at the end of the day. At last night’s (February 13) The Blonds fashion show, Lil Kim announced her pregnancy to the crowd before her performance.
After telling the crows that she’s “a mom, but I can turn it up a little” she dedicated her performance of “Lighters Up” to the Notorious B.I.G:
Kim also spoke with Us Weekly about her pregnancy and reassured everyone that being a mom will not change the ferocious lyricist we have have known for over 18 years:
I’m still going to be hardcore. The baby has made me even more of a beast!
Check out US Weekly‘s photo of a pregnant Lil Kim:
(AllHipHop News) Either someone slipped truth serum into Drake’s tea or he is just really feeling himself. A day after Rolling Stone revealed that Drake said Macklemore’s Grammy text to Kendrick was “wack as f*ck”, Drake is back and critiquing Kanye West’s Yeezus.
In the interview, Drake not only says that Kanye West’s lyrical level on Yeezus was inconsistent but said that it was so bad even a certain rapper would not say those lyrics:
There were some real questionable bars on there. Like that ‘Swaghili‘ line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn’t say some sh*t like that.
Drake did go on to say that Kanye is the reason he has a career and that he “loves everything about that guy.”
Drake also discussed his relationship with Rihanna, whom he was linked to since 2010. In June of 2010, Drake told The New York Times that he was a “pawn” to Rihanna as she disappeared after they hooked up. A week after, Drake clarified those comments to MTV News by saying it was rare for a woman to “makes me feel nervous or makes me feel small.” In his latest Rolling Stone interview over three and a half years later, Drake is a changed man when it comes to pursuing Rihanna:
She’s the ultimate fantasy. I mean, I think about it. Like ‘Man, that would be good’. We have fun together, she’s cool and s###. But we’re just friends, she’s my dog for life. I’m not after p*ssy like I was three years ago, when I was trying to make up for all the years when no girl would talk to me. But I haven’t met somebody that makes everybdy else not matter.
UPDATE: Drake has sent a message to his Twitter account to address his comments in the latest interview:
I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue.
— Drizzy (@Drake) February 13, 2014
I’m disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.
— Drizzy (@Drake) February 13, 2014
I’m done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That’s the only way my message gets across accurately.

I am hearing something and I don’t know what to make of it other than to say:
LIL KIM IS PROBABLY PREGNANT!
It seems like the rap mistress showed up to NY Fashion week in a tight dress looking like she had a bun in the oven. She’s 39 and pushing out a baby soon is probably a good idea if she wants kids. Well, all the blogs went afire when they saw her.
Here is one picture.
Here is another where Perez Hilton seems positive that Kimmie Blanco is with child.
I don’t think we need to say anything more. There’s another Hip-Hop baby on the way.
Now…WHO THE DADDY?

(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim about to have a little one of her own. At fashion designer The Blond’s New York Fashion Week event tonight (February 13), Lil Kim appeared visibly pregnant with a baby bump.
The 39 year old rapper was last linked to New York rapper Mr. Paper, but has not announced neither if she is in fact pregnant or if he is the father.
This latest rumor with Nicki Minaj had me like:
So, the rumor is Nicki has a new song called “Lookin’ Ass Ni99a” and uh, I guess people are really “looking” for it. But there is another side to it that seems to be predestined to create controversy. Like Lil Wayne, who had an issue with Emmett Louis Till’s Family, it seems that Nicki is poking at another historic figure.
This is definitely going to get “The Blacks” riled up and p##### off. This is not likely to get the influential “Soccer Moms” p##### off though, because they don’t care about Brother Malcolm anyway. Somebody hit me up and told me that Nicki is looking to get back in the mix 100% and controversy is one way to get that conversation started all around her. So, the person told me that this is just a ploy for press and attention for the most part. See, I’m already doing it now. If she did it surrounding MLK, or somebody Middle America holds dear, she’s toast. Soccer Moms run this. But she homed in on somebody that White folks don’t even teach in school anymore. I’m sure she is about to get a grade A education here on and probably get GOOBS of negative (which is positive when you want attention) press.
What do you think?
I’m like:
Take the POLL:

At first I thought this was a joke! But I heard that there may actually be something to this. Now, folks have hit me up on email of all places and let me know that this could turn into something. Now, I know what you are thinking…this has to be the softest beef ever. But, it could be interesting! They are saying that Drake sees Macky More as true competition in the pop word and was truly upset about not winning that Grammy. This is apparently why he said that everybody should have gotten an apology for Mackelmore winning – not just Kendrick. The only thing is that Drake was not mentioned in that conversation and Macky More only felt like Kendrick deserved to win. Rumor has it, Drake’s seen that as some sort of snub. I don’t know the truth behind it, but for ANYBODY to say ANYTHING about another artist as “wack as s**t” says A LOT. I don’t think there is going to be a rap battle out of this, but I do think there’s probably going to be some tension at the next fashion bazar or where every these young rappers hang out.

Rick Ross is about to drop a new album on March 4, called Masterpiece. A lot of people are excited. So, it all went down last night…the listening session. He let a BUNCH of people in the music industry come out and listen to the album. They also included fans too so that they could go out and tell the people what they heard. First of all, the security was reportedly off the CHAIN. They made it hard for people of note to get in. But, people eventually made it in to party up.
Soon, they were album to see the MASTERPIECE. When I say see, I mean I heard they were privy to a big movie that Rick Ross put together for the album. Since I wasn’t there, I don’t have much more to offer.
BUT…I heard Rick Ross did a remake of this classic Biggie song.
I don’t know if Rozay should be putting this energy out there, but I can’t wait to hear it.

(AllHipHop News) Drake has never been one to hide his emotions from the world and decided to let Macklemore know how he felt.
In an interview for an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, Drake described Macklemore’s text message apology to Kendrick Lamar following his Grammy wins as “wack as f*ck.” Drake felt the text message “didn’t feel genuine” due to the fact that Macklemore shoul
I was like, ‘You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn’t deserve it, go get better — make better music’. It felt cheap. It didn’t feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?
Drake does not say that Macklemore did not deserve to win Best Rap Album or Best Rap Song awards because “He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick.” However, Drake did take offense to Macklemore only apologizing to Kendrick:
To name just Kendrick? That s### made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages!
