Kanye West Cancels Concert In Vancouver

By: Mike WinslowCategory: Headlines

Kanye West canceled his concert in Vancouver, Canada tonight (October 20), making it the second major rap show in the past 24 hours, to be scrapped, leaving thousands of fans disappointed.

Kanye was supposed to hit the stage in Vancouver, after his “Yeezus” tour debuted last night in Seattle, Washington, to positive reviews.

But the Vancouver show was unexpectedly canceled, due to “unforeseen circumstances,” according to representatives for Rogers Arena.

Fans who were expecting to see the show are being asked to hold on to their original tickets, which will be honored on Halloween, when Kanye West will return to the city for a make up date.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Rogers Arena has been advised that the October 20th Kanye West show with Kendrick Lamar at Rogers Arena will be postponed,” Rogers Arena said in a statement released today “The concert has been rescheduled for October 31st. Fans are asked to retain their tickets from the initially scheduled show, as they will be honoured for the rescheduled date of October 31st.”

Last night, Drake’s “Would You Like a Tour” concert in Philadelphia was also postponed due to technical difficulties

A lot of people are mad at Kanye West for hitting his new tour and coming face to face with a White Jesus! Now, we know that boy got enough knowledge of self to know that the man had dark skin and wooly hair!

MTV’s Rob Markman posted the following image on instagram:

MAN, the Black Power sect is P#####! I’ve seen several message boards and comments sections calling Yeezus out for depicting the song of the Lord as a caucasian man. I don’t know why though. Kanye’s Jesus piece never had any melanin!

But, not always!

Drake Cancels Philly “Would You Like A Tour” Concert

By: Mike WinslowCategory: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Superstar rapper Drake canceled his highly anticipated performance in Philadelphia tonight (October 19), according to local sources.

Drake was due to hit the stage at The Wells Fargo Center tonight as part of the “Would You Like a Tour” outing that is traveling around the country.

Tens of thousands of fans were disappointed at the last-minute, when the rapper’s second stop on the tour was suddenly canceled, with no explanation given to those who were attending.

Sources stated that the concert was canceled because portions of the stage were deemed to be unstable and unsafe.

Earlier in the day, Drake appeared to be excited to perform in Philly, and even posted pictures of an exploding stage on his Instagram page.

Drake’s “Would You Like a Tour” outing has started off rather turbulent.

Last week, it was revealed that opening artist Future was booted from the tour over comments he made about Drake’s album in Billboard.

But Future was with Drake for the opening concert last night in Pittsburgh. The Atlanta rapper performed his set and hit the stage with Drake during the Toronto rapper’s performance.

Drake Talks Not Being Lonely, Hip Hop Competition, Confirms Future Will Be On Tour (VIDEO)

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

(AllHipHop News) Drake has not only ascended past his peers in terms of sheer volume of #1 Hip Hop hits, but also in frequency of negative criticism. In a recent interview with Q with Jian Ghomeshi, Drake spoke on his “lonely” public perception, Hip Hop competition, songwriting process and more.

In terms of Hip Hop competition, Drake spoke on the inherent nature of confrontation in Hip Hop. While, Drake did not name any of his recent rivals but he did say he is the only one who can arrogantly proclaim to be the best:

There’s something to be said for the fact that a lot of people talk that talk and just do it because that’s what hip hop is about. I’m gonna talk like I’m the biggest dog but I’m not. I’m actually the one guy, the one young guy that can really step up to the plate and talk my game and I check out.

If you type in “Drake meme” into Google Images, the image of you’ll get of Drake is a man who is constantly heartbroken and is almost synonymous with emotions. Drake tries to clear that up by asserting that he actually has a happy life:

I’m so sick of people saying I’m lonely and emotional and associating me with this longing for a woman. I hate that, man. It bothers me so much because I don’t make…I do make music that makes you feel something, [but] I’m actually not that guy in real life. I’m very happy. I’m not content by any means, I want to keep working, but I’m a happy person.

In related news, after reports that Future had been dropped from Drake’s Would You Like A Tour, both artists confirm on their personal social media accounts that Future will in fact be on the tour:

WTF News: Parents Sell Daughter Online to Buy iPhone and Shoes

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

People never seem to astonish with how low they can actually stoop. In this case, a Chinese couple is facing criminal punishment for allegedly selling their daughter so they could buy an iPhone and shoes. Reports didn’t give an exact amount but it’s said that they accepted somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan (£3,000 to £5,000) and used the money for a new iPhone.

Via Mirror:

Shanghai prosecutors have brought a case against the couple for human trafficking after they put their third child up for adoption through online postings, reports said.

And it wasn’t just an iPhone they splashed out on, reports say the mother, whose name has not been released, also bought high-end sports shoes and other products with her large payout.

The couple apparently told the police that they wanted the girl to have a better life than they could provide.

You want your daughter to have a better life so instead of just putting her up for adoption you sell her? Alrighty then.

 

EXCLUSIVE: Chicago OG Noonie Ward Weighs In On Common, Kanye, Violence In Chicago; Calls On Rappers To Act

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Chicago rappers Kanye West and Common are grabbing headlines for their comments about the violence that plagues their hometown of Chicago.

Kanye West appeared on “The Jimmy Kimmel Show” and during the interview with Kimmel, West stated: “Don’t antagonize me, cause you know what? It’s not safe for you in the zoo. Never think that I’m not from Chicago for one second and think that you can walk up and disrespect me and my family, constantly,” in relation to his physical encounter with a photographer at LAX in July.

http://youtu.be/8dV2QWRXrUI?t=3m21s

Today, Common responded to the comments on TMZ.com, during a quick interview on the streets of New York City. Common agreed with Kanye, about the violence in their city.

“You see what’s going on with the young people right now, there’s a lot of death and violence going on in Chicago, but we’re gonna make change,” Common promised.

Chicago activist Harold “OG Noonie G.” Ward is a former high-ranking member of The Gangster Disciples, the nation’s largest gang.

Ward, who has worked with closely with Kanye and Common on various anti-violence events in Chicago, is featured in an in-depth article in Bloomberg Market, which is scheduled to hit shelves this month.

The article details the Gangster Disciples’ historical role in the heroin pipeline into Chicago, and the bloody grip Joaquin Guzman’s Mexican drug cartel holds over the city.

“It’s the Mexican cartels and the powers that be in Chicago,” Noonie G. told AllHipHop.com. “The drugs are coming from Mexico to Chicago. It’s a $3.5 billion industry. It’s the hardest on the South and West sides, where you see most of the violence coming from. People are fighting over that cartel drug money. The violence wasn’t as bad until this started happening, and now you see it going to another level.”

Noonie G., who was featured on an episode of “American Gangster” about Chicago’s gangs, turned his life around after a prison stint in 1994 and has been active in Chicago politics ever since.

He even worked with President Barack Obama when the Commander-in-Chief was an activist in the Altgeld Gardens housing complex.

President Obama’s former Chief-of-Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is the current Mayor of “Chiraq,” while Garry F. McCarthy serves as the city’s Police Chief.

“Our Police Chief is Hollywood. He ain’t no real Police Chief,” Noonie G. told AllHipHop.com of McCarthy, who starred in the Sundance reality series “Brick City,” which centered around gangs and crime in Newark, New Jersey.

“They are getting paid off these kids. Crime pays,” Noonie G. continued. “Each one of these kids are like pawns. Chicago is known to be the most ruthless city for everything. From the police to everything else. They could stop this level of killings if they wanted to. They get all this money from Washington DC, but they don’t use the money for education programs, or gang prevention.”

Noonie G. says he works tirelessly to help stem the violence in Chicago, but a major presence is noticeably absent – that of the rappers.

According to Noonie G., it’s just not enough for the Chicago rappers to pay attention to the violent epidemic sweeping through the Windy City.

Noonie G. is seeking the support of the entire Hip-Hop industry, as he attempts to help calm the violence in the streets of Chicago, which also stems from the lack educational opportunities for teens in the city, after Mayor Emanuel ordered 47 elementary schools permanently closed.

“I need the rappers to come together, and not with the powers that be,” Noonie G. told AllHipHop.com. “We need to sit down without any music industry politics, with the street guys and really try to figure out what we can do with these kids. Right now, rappers are coming to Chicago, doing their concerts and getting their money, but they keep on going. Don’t none of them go to the hood. They’re scared. But the thing is your black. You’re not scared of the Ku Klux Klan, but you’re scared of your own people? I am not asking anyone for any money. Their influence would be enough.”

EXCLUSIVE: S####-O Details Relationship With Meek Mill, Speaks on “Pound Cake” Freestyle

By: Mikey T The Movie StarCategory: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Major Figga’s original member S####-O sat down with AllHipHop.com, after serving over 10 years in jail, to speak on coming back to the street and reestablishing his rap career.

Before he was released S####-O explains Philly’s own, Meek Mill, reached out to him to make sure everything would be good upon his release. The result was the new freestyle “Pound Cake” featuring the pair.

“Meek’s a good guy,” S####-O told AllHipHop.com. “He reached out to me while I was in prison. I spoke with him a couple of times and the day I was released he came to see me.

“He [Meek Mill] was like ‘I’m going to help you try to get yourself back together because I grew up on you, you one of the reasons why I do this,” S####-O continued. “I owe this to you, I’m going to help you get yourself back together.’ I appreciate him and its all love. It’s nothing but respect. I don’t think people in this city and everywhere give him enough credit for how smart he is, to be that young.”

S####-O also talked to AllHipHop.com about the work he’s been putting in since being released from prison for murder.

“Right Now I’ve got probably the hottest freestyle in the streets. ‘Pound Cake’ is like a brush fire, it’s going everywhere,” S####-O told AllHipHop.com. “I’m on a lot of Gillie’s stuff, the Four Horsemen [Chinko Da Great, Reed Dollaz, Kre Forch Hollowman]…anything you can think of coming out of Philly I’m on their project.”

“I’m working on my mixtape and its going to be a series of…songs based around my thoughts and ideals and things I’ve learned while in prison,” S####-O said. “You know the way prison changed me, essentially [making me] the man I am today.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kanye West Squashes Kim Kardashian’s Plastic Surgery Dreams

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Plastic surgery has allegedly played a major roll in Kim Kardashian’s famous figure but Kanye isn’t feeling anymore procedures for his baby mama. Kanye, after losing his mother in 2007 due to complications from liposuction and a breast reduction, is terrified of losing more loved ones and made it clear to Kim that she is not to get any cosmetic procedures.

Via RadarOnline:

The issue first came up for the couple when Kim was set to give birth to daughter North West, and planned to have a tummy tuck immediately afterwards, according to a source.

“Kim was certain that she wanted to have surgery after giving birth because she wanted a head start on losing her baby weight,” the source explains. But when West got wind of her plans, says the source, “He really flipped out.”

“Kanye told Kim in no uncertain terms that she needed to put her baby and her life first,” the source reveals. “He got pretty emotional because he really didn’t want her going through that kind of major surgery. He’s still traumatized from his mom’s death.”

Kanye is still traumatized by his mother’s passing and has become extremely protective of the people he loves.  Word is that Kim is considering his position to not go through with any operations but we all know how important she feels it is to look good so it wouldn’t be surprising if she snuck and did it. She’s good for now though, surely we’ve all seen her latest Instagram flick, emphasizing her booty.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Kendall Jenner Boo’d up With Young Jinsu?

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Kendall Jenner seems to be keeping up the Kardashian tradition of swirling. PEOPLE is saying that the 17-year-old has taken up with 21-year-old rapper Young Jinsu. They’ve allegedly been dating for a few months and have been getting a lot closer.

They’re keeping their relationship on the low because, well, she’s under age. However, they plan to go public after she turns 18 on November 3.

Yung Jinsu recently posted a photo on his Instagram of himself and a woman (it’s in shadow but the woman could possibly be Jenner) who is making a heart shape in the sky with her hands. Kendall’s sister Kylie, 16, also posted the pic to her Instagram (Celebrating her sister’s love, perhaps?).

Let’s just hope these two Jenner kids have more sense in love than their older sisters.
