Kool G Rap Was Once Homeless Because He Lost Money Gambling At Carnival (VIDEO)

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

(AllHipHop News) While at Cipha Sounds’ Take It Personal event last Friday (Nov. 1), Kool G Rap explained how he and Grand Daddy I.U. were once stranded and homeless after a performance.

According to G Rap, the allure of gambling at a nearby carnival was too much to fight and the subsequent squandering of his and I.U.’s money led to an equally as insatiable thirst for revenge. After an expensive extension to their hotel stay and repeated attempts at making back what they lost,  two of the members of the Juice Crew had to resort to other measure to get home due to losing their transportation money to get to the airport.

UCB improvisers Abra Tabak, Brandon Gardner and Cipha Sounds himself turns Kool G Rap’s tale of indulgence and poor financial management into a hilarious social commentary on female objectification.

Cipha Sounds’ Take It Personal is every Friday at 9pm at UCB Theatre on 153 3rd St. This Friday (November 8th) the guests will be Smiff-N-Wessun.

?uestlove Wrote A Eulogy For The Cancellation Of His Chicken Restaurant

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

(AllHipHop News) ?uestlove’s chicken shack Hybrid will be closing, but not without The Roots drummer bidding it an appropriate adieu. In a lengthy Facebook post, ?uestlove wrote an 800-word eulogy for Hybrid, explaining reasons for its closure and flex his blog writing.

In the midst of the random pop culture references and foodie comparisons to J. Dilla, ?uestlove explains that he and co owner Stephen Starr are closing the store but even he questions the move:

kinda weird to pull the plug considering the bird’s critical swag: cover of new york magazine, mentions in the new york times, bon appetit, food & wine, elle, the new yorker, zagat, paper magazine, new york post, village voice, time out, the hollywood reporter, vogue and a cameo on the view where sherri shepard and jenny mccarthy came to hybrid to meet me for lunch.

While ?uest says everything except a reason for its closure, Eater NY reports that a tipster has informed them that employees as Hybrid were told the closure was due to poor sales.

Hybrid opened in May of this year.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Guess How Much Eminem Will Sell!!!!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Rumors

platinum-record-12
Eminem is expected to push crazy units his first week from the Marshall Mathers LP 2! The dude that calls himself a “rap god” will reportedly push over 700, 000 the first week. NOW, remember last week this album sprung a leak and people were going crazy with the downloads and pre-listens. WELL! I hope he pushes a lot of units so that he can comeback with a new album that replaces this one. I really didn’t care for it, but I thought Recovery was really dope. So, lets let this one be successful and then he can make an album I can fully appreciate. Saleswise though…this is going to sell oodles of albums.

DMX Cancels Appearance On The Wendy Williams Show Later Today

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

(AllHipHop News) DMX has been a lightning rod for negative press for the majority of the 2013 calendar year and it has finally taken a toll on the 42 year old rapper. In an official statement from his rep, DMX has cancelled his scheduled appearance on The Wendy Williams Show.

Originally set for a performance with Swizz Beatz later for today (November 6th) on the show, DMX is instead bowing out “due to media scrutiny” according to an official press release from the rapper’s camp:

Due to recent media scrutiny, DMX will not be appearing on The Wendy Williams Show this week. The team apologizes to his fans who were anticipating his performance but we are holding off on interviews and focusing on making music and organizing a world tour.

Recently, DMX was arrested for minor traffic violations which TMZ reported to being “driving on a suspended license, driving while uninsured, and driving an unlicensed vehicle.” X was soon released.

Check out the trailer for DMX’s 2013 World Tour:

Hip-Hop Rumors: What Former Friend Now Reportedly Hates Cee Lo Green?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

Hate is a strong word, but it seems that Christina Aguilera is not fond of Cee-Lo at all these days. Cee-Lo beat the charges that he drugged a woman with Ecstasy, but that wasn’t enough for X-Tina. Apparently, she simply wants nothing to with him, because she believes the allegations against him were true. She also has made a promise to producers of “The Voice” that she would continue to act normal around Cee-Lo despite her disdain for her co-star. A report by the National Inquirer says that Adam Levine and Blake Shelton feel the same way. I thought they all did drugs, so I’m not quite clear why they are judging Cee-Lo so harshly. Christina is pretty squeaky now so I guess I can see her feeling that way. Cee-Lo still has some charges against him and will answer to that in court later this month.
