LOL! Tyrese is at it again.

Nah, I’m playing, but Tyrese did spark this rumor for me personally. Then, I did a bit of searching and realized its all over the place, in the news. But it seems like The LA Lakers are looking to get LeBron James on their team. LeBron recently – after taking that massive L to the Spurs – opted out of his contract with the Heat. He’s now a free agent. I’m hearing the Lakers want to bring Carmelo and James to the West Coast with Kobe so they can be unbeatable. What do you think of this turn of events?

I find it funny. I’m thinking somehow LeBron finds a way to stay in Miami.

As the couple kicks off their ‘On the Run’ tour today in Miami, Bey and Jay have decided to amp up the security to protect their family.

According to ContactMusic,

“The team will include 16 personal bodyguards on 24 hour watch and a 40-man security support group which will be increased on performance days by 21 specialist bouncers, 300 crowd security staff and a further 50 trained team members to stop potential stage stormers.

Venues including the famous Rose Bowl in Los Angeles have also increased their own security personnel to protect Beyoncé, 32, Jaz Z, 44, and their young daughter from potential ”stalkers and kidnappers”.
”They will not stop short of covering every aspect of their security, from crazed fans to potential stalkers and the unthinkable – kidnappers. Their security needs are like a military operation.”

That’s cool and all, but just in case, can this small army stop Solange from delivering another beatdown?

(AllHipHop News) Ab-Soul is 27 years old, so he grew up during the rise of online social media. During his interview on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club he explains how two of the biggest social media platforms of the last ten years helped him become a rapper and land one of the most popular video models in Hip Hop.

According to Soul, he began sharpening his lyrical darts in a place where people tended to use their time to find dates:

I started rapping on Blackplanet, really trying to get into it. [Angela Yee- Black planet? I thought that’s where people go to hook up?] Right, that’s where people went to hook up, but we were up there rapping, seriously. Typing. I know it still goes on to this day. It was so crazy. N*ggas use different HTMLs and colors with their sh*t. Fonts, italics with the words you rhyming with. It was so tight. That’s where I honed my skills, for sure.

Rumors began spreading that TDE’s Black Lip Pastor was dating Yaris Sanchez when Soul brought her out during one of his shows back in November 2012. Soul explains that after the popular model began placing pictures of Soul’s music on her personal Instagram account, she initiated the courtship and sent him a message to his personal Twitter account. What was Ab-Soul’s response according to Yaris?

He was quite smooth. He was like ‘I hear you’re quite the star. Text me some time.’ I was like, ‘who am I talking to? Am I talking to my uncle?

(AllHipHop News) A month after Troy Ave was revealed as one of the members of XXL’s 2014 Freshman Class, Game discredited all the rappers in that class on “Bigger Than Me”. Yesterday (June 23rd), Troy Ave became the first member of the 2014 class to speak out publicly about Game’s diss.

In an interview with DJ Absolut, Troy described Game’s diss to the 2014 XXL Freshman Cover artists as “shenanigans”. Before admitting he did not hear the record himself, he did surmise Game’s premise from what he gathered from “hearsay”:

It was really hearsay but it was something to the effect of the class is soft and they’re not Weezy. He came in with Young Jeezy and stuff like that. It sounds like shenanigans to me. I haven’t really heard it so I cant speak on it fully until I hear the record and see what he talking ’bout. It aint affecting nothing that I’m doing over here for this New York City and this East Coast environment that I got on fire.

Troy recently released a remix to his single “Your Style” featuring Puff Daddy, Ma$e and T.I. Later in the interview he makes a comparison between the support T.I. has given to his young career to a rap veteran he’s been compared to more than anyone can count:

It kind of got the feel when 50 had to go with Eminem and Dr. Dre to get put on. Know what I mean?

(AllHipHop News) The “will they or won’t they” talk about 50 Cent and The Game reconnecting has been a discussion in Hip Hop since the two rappers first fell out a decade ago. 50 was able to move past his differences with other G-Unit members this summer, but Game was left out of the festivities.

In an interview with Jenny Boom Boom, 50 once again addressed the possibility of smoothing things out with the California emcee, but it does not seem likely.

“My issue with Game is I don’t know what happened with him period,” says 50. “How could you have an assessment on a person who’s flipped flopped their entire career? He’s almost bi-polar. If you watch it, the way he does things. He’s extremely emotional, then he goes to extremely aggressive.”

Game recently spoke about the G-Unit and whether he would like to be a part of the reformed crew. He congratulated 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Young Buck on their reunion. The Jesus Piece rapper then suggested that DJ Skee “work that out” when asked what it would take to settle the issues between he and 50.

(AllHipHop News) Aaliyah’s family has voiced their displeasure over Lifetime’s refusal to contact them when creating their new movie Aaliyah: Princess of R&B. Aaliyah’s cousin Jomo Hankerson, becomes the latest member of Aaliyah’s family to speak out against the Lifetime movie.

Jomo Hankerson was not only Aaliyah’s cousin but is currently the president of her label Blackground Records. Hankerson, speaking with New York Daily News, admits she has no problem with Zendaya Coleman playing Aaliyah. However, one of Hankerson’s main gripes is with what she feels Aaliyah’s legacy deserves:

I don’t have a problem with her. It’s never been about the actress. The problem that we have is that Aaliyah was an icon and she deserves an iconic tribute, not a Lifetime movie.

Hankerson went on to state the family wants “a major studio release along the lines of ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It,’ the Tina Turner movie.” The Lifetime movie is based on Chris Farley’s biography Aaliyah: More Than a Woman.
