Lord Jamar Threatens Yelawolf, Yelawolf Willing To Confront Him

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

(AllHipHop News) Lord Jamar’s recent comments on white rappers may have just placed the Hip Hop legend into an impending physical confrontation. After Yelawolf responded to Lord Jamar likening white rappers to “guests” in Hip Hop, Lord Jamar sent inflammatory comments towards Yelawolf and his fanbase.

Yelawolf, in an interview with VladTV, stated that while Hip Hop was founded by Black people, many other races have contributed to it and that is a fact that Lord Jamar has to accept. Lord Jamar took to his personal Twitter account to voice his denouncement of Yelawolf’s comments and send a threat:

Lord Jamar did not only reserve his inflammatory remarks to Yelawolf, but also dissed Yela’s “redneck fans” and accused them of incest:

These defamatory remarks were not met with deaf ears(or eyes) as Yelawolf soon after responded on his Facebook account. In a lengthy post, the Shady Records artist states that if Lord Jamar is interested in a physical confrontation, then he can meet up with Yela at any of the upcoming tour dates:

Schoolboy Q: Kendrick Is Bigger Than The Rest Of Us, Criticizes XXL Cover (VIDEO)

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

(AllHipHop News) In an entertainment industry based on presentation, perception often times becomes reality and Schoolboy Q seems to fully understand this ideal. In a recent interview with MTV News, Schoolboy Q shared Ab-Soul’s distaste for XXL’s Black Hippy cover and addressed the popularity hierarchy in the group.

After calling the cover title “so disrespectful”, Q reasoned that the shoot was proposed to them differently than what the title implied:

We didn’t go into that shoot saying, ‘This is Kendrick with Black Hippy photo shoot for the cover.’ We went in there and said, ‘This is a Black Hippy shoot,’ so we expect a Black Hippy shoot.

While insulted by the title, Schoolboy Q does understand the reality of having a labelmate that has already begun his commercial ascension:

At the end of the day and I always say this, too, Kendrick, he’s way ahead of us. He’s a platinum artist. I haven’t dropped my album yet. [Jay] Rock’s working on his major-label album. Ab-Soul’s working on his major-label album. We still haven’t dropped our major-label albums, so honestly, at the same time, at the end of the day, I mean he is f###### Kendrick Lamar.

Check out the full interview with MTV News which also includes Jay Rock’s feelings on the XXL cover:

Hip-Hop Rumors: Guess Where The Newest Love And Hip-Hop Will Be?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Rumors


They seem to be franchising the “Love & Hip-Hop” series big time, even though some people are tiring of the antics. It seems like there’s nothing definitive, but I heard a new rumor. The latest is that Ray J may be returning to reality TV to anchor “Love & Hip-Hop: Los Angeles.” There aren’t too many more details to this rumor now, but that’s just what it is. There was clarity with some of the previous rumors about the “Love & Hip-Hop” series, but most of it is murky at best now. We’ll see.

Chief Keef Sentenced To 90-Day Drug Rehab; Due Back In Court Today

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) News broke yesterday that Chicago rapper Chief Keef was preparing to be sent back to jail after failing two mandatory drug tests. According to the Chicago Tribune, the 18-year-old has been sentenced to 90 days in a residential drug rehabilitation center for the parole violation, but he will have to return to court today to determine exactly where he will be housed.

Keef was first ordered by the judge to enter the Haymarket Center, but Cook County sheriff officials did not send him to the West Side treatment facility because of concerns that the center is unguarded. Keef is to report back to court today to determine if he will be placed at another location.

The “Hate Bein’ Sober” performer was subject to random drug tests as part of his probation conditions stemming from a speeding arrest earlier this year. He has been jailed numerous times including a 2011 arrest for a gun charge and separate incidents in Miami and Atlanta.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) As the music industry continues to adjust to the decade-long decline in music sales, artists search for new ways to fund their projects.

Ignoring the offers of major label, Detroit emcee Elzhi has decided to go straight to the people for help in producing his next album. The former member of Slum Village started a kickstarter campaign with GLOW365 to enlist donations to help cover the costs of finalizing production, album promotion, and a future tour.

Contributors will have the chance to receive rewards such as exclusive artwork, access to listening parties, and a copy of one of the last 27 vinyls of his classic mixtape Elmatic.

“I’ve already passed on a few record deals, and I’ve partnered with the GLOW365 alliance because we truly believe that the integrity of the music comes first,” writes El on his kickstarter page. “I have always been a believer in being a leader and trendsetter. The music I make comes strictly from me and how I feel, and I will never sacrifice who I am to conform to a trend. This new record is no different.”

The campaign has already collected $4,300 of its $25,000 goal in one day. Elzhi will be collecting donations until December 6th.

“This is it…this one is all about us. This is our chance to show the world what my music and the people who love it are all about: pure, authentic, creative music…real Hip Hop,” adds El.
