Cash Money Records Could Challenge Jay Z In Sports Management In 2014

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

(AllHipHop News) Master P was Ricky Williams’ sports agent in 1999 and paved the way for what may soon become the latest trend in the business of Hip Hop. Reports allege that Cash Money Records plan to begin their own sports management company named Visionaire Sports Group in 2014.

After registering the trademark for Visionaire Sports Group for “sports agency services” on October 25th, the legendary rap label also is rumored to have invested in Mississippi-based sports agency Pay 2 Win Sports, Inc. While not formally announced, this move would be similar to Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports partnering with reputable sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in April.

No word on if any members of Cash Money Records, Inc has begun sports agent certification, however that may not be needed for Visionaire Sports Group to begin. Due to fact that Jay Z was and still is not certified to be an agent by the NFL’s Players Association he signed football agent Kimberly Miale to Roc Nation Sports as an associate weeks before Roc  Nation Sports signed New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith.

While Cash Money Records Inc has trademarked their sports agency’s name, past attempts by rappers to begin sports agencies have taken time to start. Back in April of 2012, a year before Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports signed its first athlete, Rick Ross announced a joint venture on an unnamed sports management company:

WTF News: Glow-in-the-Dark Pigs Created Using Jelly Fish Genes

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Scientists in China created 10 piglets that glow green under black fluorescent lights, using a technique developed by the University of Hawaii at Manoa School of Medicine.

Via Huffington Post:

A group of scientists from South China Agricultural University were able to do this by injecting fluorescent protein from jellyfish DNA into pig embryos, thus creating the green-glowing pigs.

This same technique was used to create the world’s first glow-in-the-dark bunnies in Turkey earlier this year, where they are currently working to produce similar results with fluorescent-glowing sheep.

Scientists, however, are not creating glowing farm animals for seasonal décor. The goal of the research is to have an efficient and cheap way of getting a beneficial gene into humans that could help treat many genetic disorders.

Dr. Stefan Moisyadi, a UH Manoa bioscientist with the Institute for Biological Research, says, for example, that this technique could benefit people who suffer with the rare blood-clotting disease hemophilia. “We can make [blood-clotting] enzymes a lot cheaper in animals rather than a factory that will cost millions of dollars to build,” Moisyadi said in a press release.

Master P aka Percy Miller, No Limit Forever Records CEO, loaded up his tour
bus on Christmas Eve with Bicycles, Xbox Ones, Games, and Toys to brighten up Christmas for underprivileged kids that lost their parents due to senseless violent crimes.

Master P’s The Gift Album is one of the hottest records on the street but instead of celebrating his success, he spends his proceeds from The Gift Album project to help inner city at-risk youth. Master P stated, “Hopefully, I can be like a guardian angel to these kids during this tough time as they celebrate Christmas without their parents. These kids are special, our mission is to uplift and encourage them even though they’ve been scarred by these tragedies. If we can help them learn how to smile again, have hope and overcome their adversities with time, their wounds will eventually heal. Our goal is to help Let The Kids Grow. Christmas is a time of celebrating Jesus’s birthday with family, love and joy. Although these kids have lost their parents, we want them to know that there are still people who care and love them.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Scott Disick Headed For Rehab?

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Kourtney Kardashian has allegedly had enough of Scott Disick’s drunken mischief and wants him to go to rehab.

Radar Online reports that a recent incident where he made drunken spectacle of himself at a Kanye West concert was the last straw. Kourtney is now begging him to go back to rehab or to at least attend AA meetings.

The pair allegedly plan to get married next year but Kourtney refuses to move forward with him unless he handles his addiction. Kourtney is also concerned about Mason, her 4-year-old son, and Penelope, her 18-month-old daughter, because she doesn’t want them to be traumatized by having a drunk dad.

Audio Push Says T.I. "Sh*tted On Us" Before We Collaborated (VIDEO)

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

(AllHipHop News) In the music industry, you have to earn your stripes before you are allowed such privileges. While appearing on Cipha Sounds’ Take It Personal Hip Hop improv show last Friday (December 20th), the west coast duo Audio Push spoke on how the privilege of collaborating with a legendary rapper almost escaped them.

On their 2013 mixtape Come As You Are, Audio Push collaborated with T.I. on the Hit-Boy produced song “Theme Song”. According to the duo, T.I. “sh*tted” on their request to collaborate at first until he heard the beat and proceeded to freestyle his verse on the song. The UCB improvisers took T.I.’s lack of writing and demonstrated what would happen if he applied that to other real life situations.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kenya Moore is Looking For Sperm

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

When viewers first started watching Kenya Moore on Real Housewives of Atlanta, she presented herself as a marriage and baby hungry maniac. That plan didn’t work out so well so, she seemingly ditched her dreams of marital bliss with then alleged boyfriend Walter and went on to terrorize the rest of the cast with her wacky behavior.

Fastforward to today, she’s back on the show and still not mentioning her dreams of having a family but word is, she’s hasn’t given up hope. She can’t control the husband factor (assuming there’s no good bribe involved) but she is planning to get artificially insemenated. She recently told Life & Style that she plans to do in vitro with the hopes of getting pregnant within the next six months. Of course, if this works out she’ll have her baby just in time to be filmed for the next season of RHOA.

“In my field, I am the blueprint of what I do,” Kim tells Rolling Out magazine. “I’ve always starred in my own lane.”

It has been eight years since Lil Kim released her last studio album The Naked Truth, but Kim says she is not rushing the process to drop her next LP. Kim is holding off announcing when the album will be released, but she ensures that the public can expect to hear some singles from her by summer 2014.

In the meantime Kim’s fans are still waiting for her forthcoming mixtape Hardcore 2K13. The Brooklyn rhymer was scheduled to drop the project on Halloween, but it was pushed back indefinitely. She did release the tracks “Dead Gal Walking” and “I Am Kimmy Blanco” as well as a tracklist over the last several months.

“I just think that my fans — not even just my fans, but even potentially new fans — are ready to hear some new Lil Kim music,” added the rapper. “People are ready to hear real rap, real s**t coming from a female. Because I’ve always been different, no matter what. My music has always been very sexual and very pro-women.”
