After receiving overwhelming praise for his latest project KVSHMIR, Kidd Upstairs has decided to release another audio nug to give his fans a whiff of what he’s got in store for the rest of the year.
In a world where Southern strip club antics have overflooded our schools and churches, Kidd Upstairs drops “401(k)” to remind America’s youth about planning for a healthy retirement. You don’t want your wrinkled, tattooed body to have to worry about your next social security check now do you?
Remember kids, whether blacked out twerking on top of a dining room table while Dana’s parents are out of town, or just plain yikin’ in the middle of school, it’s also important to protect your future by setting financial goals and working towards them.
(AllHipHop News) “Fast and Furious” star Paul Walker has tragically died in a fiery explosion that happened in Southern California on Saturday.
Walker was 40.
He was reportedly in a Porsche when the driver lost control of the vehicle, slamming into a tree or a pole. TMZ reports the car exploded into flames. It is unclear who was driving the car.
According to sources with AllHipHop, Walker was to start filming another installment of Fast and Furious in Dubai with co-stars Tyrese and Ludacris.
Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter Meadow.
(AllHipHop News) J. Cole was one of the many rappers Kendrick Lamar named as wanting to “murder” lyrically on his much talked about “Control” verse. While scores of emcees dropped responses to Kendrick, Cole had remained silent about the matter – until now.
The Roc Nation rapper finally addressed the situation on the opening verse to Justin Timberlake’s “TKO (Remix).” The new version of The20/20 Experience 2 of 2 track also features A$AP Rocky and Pusha T.
Kendrick and Cole have a long working relationship. K. Dot performed the hook to Cole’s Born Sinner song “Forbidden Fruit,” and Cole produced Kendrick’s song “HiiiPower” off Section.80. The two have hinted at creating a joint project together for years. They both will also be touring with Eminem in Australia early next year.
It seems all the attention “Control” received left Cole feeling he had to respond. On “TKO (Remix)” he raps:
Cole to the rescue, never save a ho / Hoes like to hide their behavior though / Thought you was a down ass b***h / Til I found that s**t a couple days ago / I was home alone, next thing I know / That long as verse from a song called “Control” was on / The room got nearer, the tomb got clearer / That’s when I seen the s**t playin’ on your phone / Girl, what is that? A ringtone? / S**t, not you too / Man that hype done got you too / Everybody and their momma gassed / Even my momma asked what I’mma do / Decisions, decisions / In case this is war, then I load up on all ammunition / If a n***a want problems, my trigger’s on auto / I’ll make sure that nobody miss him
I guess this ain’t a true diss, but Nick said it. Nick must really be feeling bad these days, because he just said it and ain’t delete it. But, all he said was “Kanye, you ain’t no genius!” Not exactly but he basically said that Kanye keeps championing himself a genius when…he’s the loudest voice.
So, he said it on twitter but he didn’t delete.
Nick is becoming a mogul if he already isn’t one.
This ain’t the first time Nick has had something to say about Kanye West.
Lil Mama recently lost a court case. She now owes her lawyer about $18k in legal fees, because she stopped paying him after she won the case. And you thought you and I had money problems. He was fighting for her to keep her rap name so that’s a good look. Well, Lil Mama may not have issues like we thought since she is rumored to be the next member of TLC, formally becoming the rap portion that passed away when Left Eye died. Now, these rumors are nothing new. But, actual and factual, they have become more real since Left Eye’s portrayal of Lisa in the TLC made-for-TV movie. I think she can do it and TLC ain’t getting more relevant than they are now. I think its a good look.

I’ll tell you. The WorldStarring of Hip-Hop is getting things worse. But everything ain’t on the video site! But, some of it is. Below, you will see one beat down that has yet to be seen and another that has been seen by half a million people already.
One of the guys from Doughboyz Cashout got stomped out on Thanksgiving Day. Now, that’s not good! But, the holiday season matters not in the D. In fact, ‘Tis the Season to be Stomping and all that. This ain’t funny. There are a bunch of pics online and several of the chain that was taken from bruh bruh. I heard this happened to a dude named HBK…no reason giving. Online, people are just saying its purely hate, because the boy is shining and down with Jeezy. Sad…but they are saying that’s the culture in the D.
Peep:
Now, in Chicago, there is something else going on. I don’t even know what this is, but it was a beatdown clearly orchestrated for WSHH. Check how this kid gets sucker punched. There is some history behind it, but I could not tell what.
Apparently, the dude that got hit stole a TV from the other dude’s “OG” and tried to come back like it was all good in the hood.

Based on the startling real life raid by the feds CASANOVA KRIS finally realeases what happened that very day in new video “LOVE NOVA. The well-known Dallas street boss turned rap artist unveils his gripping story of being targeted by Federal Agents in a series of recent raids.
Just yesterday, everybody was thanking God for all their blessings and whatnot. The very next day, these same people will do anything to save a couple of dollars to get a “deal” on Black Friday. These crazies are stabbing each other over Jordans and a bunch of other material goods.
Here they are fighting over Jordans.
At least they weren’t black. :/
Walmart as well was the subject of mass violence and chaos.

We get it, twerking has gone wild but sometimes it’s best to jump on trends within reason. That memo was lost on these two girls who thought it was a good idea to twerk on some NYC subway tracks. Um…third rail anyone?
Now that the 2013 holiday season is in full swing, Salvation Army charity workers are popping up left and right but their good deeds don’t always keep them immune from unfortunate incidents as one person in North Carolina found out.
According to N.C. police, someone stole a salvation army kettle from a bell ringer who left his post to help a grandmother and her four grand kids through shopping mall doors.
Via AP:
Winston-Salem police say bell ringer James Griffin III told them when returned from the Belk store to his post, the kettle and the $50 in it were gone.
Police Lt. Brad Yandell says there is no video of Tuesday’s theft, and investigators have no leads.
Maj. James Allison, commander of the Salvation Army of Winston-Salem, says the agency would have helped if the thief had a need.
Griffin returned to his spot on Wednesday, and the Belk store manager put $100 into the replacement kettle. At least this situation ended fairly well but it’s sad that the thief didn’t just ask for help. Something tells me they were just being greedy.
(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop artist Proof passed away in 2006 after being shot four times at local billiards club. The death of the D12 member sent shock waves through the Detroit rap scene as fellow Motor City rappers like Eminem and Obie Trice had to come to grips that the 32-year-old emcee lost his life too soon.
Obie sat down with VladTV to talk about Proof’s killing. The former Shady Records signee still feels that the information surrounding the altercation that led to Proof getting shot is murky.
“They say Proof shot [first], but I don’t know if that story’s true,” says Obie. “A lot of fabrication going on with the story. I don’t really know what’s true and what’s not.”
One account of the situation was that Proof shot a man named Keith Bender after an argument at the club, and then Bender’s cousin Mario Etheridge, a bouncer at the location, then shot Proof. Another witness that night said both Proof and Bender were shot and killed by Etheridge after a fight broke out between the two. Etheridge was not convicted of murder because it was determined that he acted in self-defense.
According to Obie, the entire altercation sparked a series of murders throughout Detroit.
“A lot of s**t happened after that. A lot of people ended up getting killed,” says “The Setup” performer. “That’s just how it is though.”
(AllHipHop News) Global superstar Rihanna is using her social media presence to help bring awareness to UNICEF’s new “There for the Philippines” campaign. The relief effort will benefit families in need after the effects of Typhoon Haiyan.
“Emergencies make headlines, but the recovery continues long after the news cameras leave,” said Rihanna in a statement. “Having been a fan and supporter of UNICEF’s work over the years, I am honored to join them in helping children who have been impacted by Typhoon Haiyan. More than five million kids in the Philippines need our help. UNICEF is there for them today, and for the long road ahead, and so am I.”
Besides being a public advocate for the effort Rihanna also donated $100,000 to UNICEF. The “We Found Love” singer is joined by fellow celebrities under the Roc Nation umbrella free agent baseball player Robinson Cano and Tulsa Shock star Skylar Diggins. Actress/singer Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical is participating in the campaign as well.
“There for the Philippines” is both a fundraising and social awareness campaign. UNICEF is asking concerned people to donate funds, change their Facebook profile picture, and tweet messages of support.
