(AllHipHop News) Ask and you shall receive. Less than three weeks after Ab-Sol threatened to leak his debut major label album, Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Dangeroo Kipawaa announced Ab-Soul’s release date.
Rather than following the traditional model of release dates (i.e. actually having one) , the TDE has decided to democratize the process. On his personal Twitter account, Kipawaa gave fans the power to choose when they hear These Days, Ab-Soul’s debut album:
YALL BEEN ON MY HEAD ABOUT @abdashsoul RELEASE DAY…. SINCE YALL ACT LIKE YALL RUN #TDE… IM LETN YALL PICK THE DAY… JUNE 3, 10 ,17 OR 24
— dangeroo kipawaa TDE (@dangerookipawaa) May 15, 2014
Kipawaa did not announce how he will use fan vote to choose the album release date and/or when it will be released.

Gotham Citi is Ready to Take Us "Back To Love"

Jonathan, Dijuan, Clif, and CJ plan to take R&B back to its roots and bring “love” back along with that classic and timeless R&B sound! Gotham Citi’s music maintains a mainstream sound but also combines soulful quality and street edge.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Have Kanye And Kim Ended Their Paris Wedding?
Kanye and Kim have not been in the rumors so much recently. I guess the Solange Show has taken over for the time being.
These mainstream outlets love the Hip-Hop thing again. Anyway, US Magazine is reporting that Kanye and Kim have aborted the notion of having their wedding in the city of love, Paris. But they are not coming back to the States, according to the report. It seems that the couple has moved their nuptials to Florence, Italy. Seems like they are going to several spots that weekend, but it seems that nobody knows what is up, truly. None of the guests have the same information so I guess the privacy of the wedding will be retained.
Imagine if they were like this around Treach and Pepa back in the day.
“They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!” -illseed.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Drake And Rihanna Are Done!
I thought it was already over, but it seems like its official to the bone gristle. Drake and Rihanna have called it quits. It seems like they just kept fighting. I can’t imagine what over, but maybe Drake didn’t wanna share the down pillows? I don’t know. Anyway, a recent report by US Magazine is telling it all.
“Rihanna and Drake had another fight. He is too in love with her, which has always been the problem. They have been fighting, but that could all change any day now. It is how it always is with them.”
Anyway, this is all know know that they are on another break from each other. Drake didn’t make it to the MET Afterparty Rihanna threw. But, I’m thinking he may have wanted to avoid, Jay Z! LOL!!!!
Anyway, nah…good that Rihanna is back on the market now.

(AllHipHop News) According to the Carters, all’s well that ends well with that family. Today (May 15th), Jay Z and Beyonce releases their first public statement since the footage of Solange’s fight with Jay Z at a Met Gala afterparty surfaced.
In the statement sent to The Associated Press, the couple addresses the speculation over the cause of the fight, but maintains that “our family has worked through it.” While not stating what the cause was, the statement does address Jay Z and Solange taking culpability for the incident:
Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.
The statement also dispels the rumors that Solange was intoxicated during the elevator incident. The statement continues to read “families have problems and we’re no different.”
Read the full statement below:
As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family. The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false,” the statement continued. “At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.
