Epic Fail of the Day: KKK Hands Out Recruitment Fliers in Black Neighborhood

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

We already know that racists aren’t very smart but the KKK took their inanity to a new level. A Ku Klux Klan group from North Carolina tried to recruit members from Smyrna Beach but ended up dropping fliers in a predominately Black neighborhood.

Via WFTV:
Leaders passed out hundreds of fliers near North Myrtle Street over the past couple of days.

Resident Tim Washington said he was headed to work Monday morning when something stopped him in his tracks.

“(I) saw that it was a piece of paper on the ground and it had hate stuff on it,” Washington said.

Washington was the recipient of a flier from a North Carolina Ku Klux Klan group seen during an August cross-burning.

Officials said that group sent the fliers to a Florida KKK group and leaders dropped hundreds of them in a New Smyrna Beach neighborhood in an effort to recruit new members.

Many people came outside Monday morning and found them in front of their homes.

The group plans to pass out up to 600 fliers in the next few days.

Trinidad James Responds To Controversy Over His “South Runs NY” Comments

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

(AllHipHop News) Trinidad James believes two things are true: New York does not support New York and that he’ll always be the rapper with messed up teeth who can’t rap. A day after saying New York fell off musically, Trinidad James takes to his personal Twitter account to explain his statements.

The Atlanta rapper reiterated that what he was saying was truth and not disrespect, however he did blame New York radio for the downfall of New York’s place in Hip Hop:

Then he stated the New York fall off is so drastic that media members are becoming more famous than the rapper, supposedly referring to Elliot Wilson of RapRadar:

Trinidad James then also named legends of New York City rap, including The Lox, Fabolous, Funkmaster Flex, DJ Kay Slay and others as already solidifying their legacy so his comments were not directed at them.

Trinidad James Says The South Runs New York

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Trinidad James recently took a blatant shot at the birthplace of Hip Hop. After first showing love to NYC rap and the legacy of the Dipset crew, James told the crowd at a recent concert that his region is running New York right now.

“I remember when New York ran this sh*t. When Dipset was f*cking turnt the f*ck up,” said Trinidad at his Converse Rubber Tracks performance. “What the f*ck happened? I remember when New York rap was the sh*t, and us in the south, us bamas, we was like ‘what the f*ck?’ and we just did our own thing. But now we run y’all, that’s crazy.”

Trinidad then tells the audience, “I’m not trying to start nothing, but if you wanna do something we can do something cause I don’t give a f*ck. I’m just being honest with you… Now every n***a popping out of New York you might as well tell he from Atlanta.”

Lecrae Wants Rappers To Include More Substance In Their Music

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Grammy-winning Christian rapper Lecrae has managed to attract both Hip Hop and Gospel followers to his fan base. According to the Houston born rhymer it is his consistent focus on providing content with substance that has grabbed the attention of music lovers across the board, and Lecrae believes the public would like to see more emcees embrace that idea.

“The average person is trying to figure out what the heck to do with their lives, and how to russle with the ups and downs,” Lecrae told HotNewHipHop. “I’d love to see Rick Ross and Wayne address that stuff, but it makes rappers feel less like supermen. It’s not shame to either one of them but I think their fans would love to hear that.”

Lecrae has faced some criticism from some in the traditional Gospel community for embracing certain Hip Hop artists. According to the Reach Records co-founder working with artists like fellow H-town native Paul Wall is not contradictory to his faith.

“They don’t live in the same world I live in or the detriment of the culture. They also don’t see artists as people, they see them as characters,” said Lecrae. “Like Paul Wall – I told him this is what I want the song to talk about, and he was cool with it and respected where I was coming from. I think we make rules up for music that God never wrote. We’re not doing strip songs together.”

Paul is featured on Lecrae’s single “Let It Whip” off his DJ Don Cannon-hosted mixtape Church Clothes 2. The project also includes tracks with B.o.B, Novel, and Kevin Ross. CC2 can be downloaded at www.lecrae.com.

Kendrick Lamar Names The Emcee Who He Sees As His Biggest Competition

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Despite all the recent attention placed on the perceived competition between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, K. Dot says he is less concerned about rappers outside his TDE family because the competitive nature inside the camp is what really keeps him on his toes, and Kendrick names one particular Black Hippy member he calls “a problem.”

“[Jay] Rock always been big brother, Rock always had that ‘urrgh.’ So when we got on the mic with Rock, you already know what time it is,” Kendrick told MTV News. “You gotta do what you gotta do, because he’s gonna smash it, and I’m glad that the world is finally recognizing it because he is a problem for sure.”

While Kendrick has become the breakout star from Black Hippy, Jay Rock was the first TDE artist to build a national buzz thanks to his 2008 single “All My Life (In the Ghetto)” featuring Lil Wayne and will.i.am. The song was included on Rock’s Follow Me Home album which was TDE’s first official LP released in stores.

“We look at [Rock] as the n***a that started it up, that gave us our starter kick, introduced us to the game,” adds fellow Black Hippy member Schoolboy Q. “We didn’t go on the road until we went with him.”

Epic Fail of the Day: Man Named “Batman bin Suparman’ Jailed For Three Years

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

This is why we should be mindful of what we name our kids. You can’t have a superhero name but be up to no good.

A Singapore man named Batman bin Suparman (his name translates to “Batman son of Superman”) became an Internet star a while ago after a picture of his ID card surfaced. He’s back in the news after getting sentenced on Monday to three years in jail on various charges.

Via Huffington Post:

Batman was arrested in August, after surveillance video showed him stealing the equivalent of $400 from a store, according to court documents obtained by the AFP.

In addition, Batman stole the ATM card of his brother, Nurazman Suparman, and fraudulently used it to make purchases totally about $680, according to Channel News Asia. He also pleaded guilty to unrelated counts of theft and heroin consumption.

Some fans of Batman have expressed their dismay on the “Batman Bin Suparman Fan Club” Facebook page, lamenting that their hero “has fallen to the Dark Side.” Others have called for someone to break him out of jail.

Sounds like his name should have been Joker bin Lex Luthor. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Young Jeezy To Def Jam: Either Get My Album Right Or I’m Leaking It

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

(AllHipHop News) Twitter has given a voice to the voiceless, a name to the nameless and an international microphone for the loquacious celebrities to vent. Young Jeezy decided to indulge in social media venting to address his distaste with how Def Jam has handled his as-of-yet untitled new album.

In his Twitter diatribe, Jeezy claimed that there was mismanagement on his upcoming album on the part of Def Jam:

Jeezy also implied that Bary Weiss, current Def Jam CEO/Chairman of The Island Def Jam Music is not working as hard as former CEO/Chairman, L.A. Reid:

In the end, Jeezy pulled the one move every artist who has felt they are constrained by their label has threatened to do since the dawn of (record business) time: Leak the album himself.

Jeezy announced that his upcoming album was “coming soon” in September and the song “In My Mind” would serve as the first single. The last Jeezy song to chart on Billboard was 2012’s “R.I.P.” featuring 2 Chainz.  A point of contention for Jeezy could be that his rival and labelmate Rick Ross’ new album, Mastermind has not only been announced and promoted with singles but has had multiple release dates before its final December 17th date was selected.
