Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg’s Juan Epstein w/ Elliott Wilson and B. Dot Miller

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

(AllHipHop News) Radio and the blog world play nice for most of the year, but there are moments when the two entities collide and Hot 97’s Program Director Ebro Darden and RapRadar’s “blogger” B. Dot Miller are usually at the center of it.

Ebro has taken issue with B. Dot’s constant insinuation that Hot 97 does not support local New York acts nor do they break artists. In the 90-minute plus interview he explains not only why Hot 97 does not “take risks” with unheralded artists but points out a bit of hypocrisy:

The reason Hot 97 does not take risks like it did in the 90’s is because Clear Channel Radio has commoditize radio to the point where when we take a risk on a record, there is nobody else caring in the city, but they say they’re Hip Hop. You two, RapRadar, just came from a show, The Breakfast Club, where they do not break any music on that radio station, because it is a syndicated national radio that does not care about local music. Your website, RapRadar, you guys care about the culture, you guys care about your business model, you guys care about getting hits. A lot of the content that lives and get a lot of life on there is mainstream content.

B. Dot sent a tweet from his personal Twitter account denying any payola on RapRadar’s side:

Ebro also flatly denies one Hip Hop’s darkest secrets: radio payola. Radio payola involves radio stations accepting money and/or gifts in exchange for song placement. Ebro even referenced Eliot Spitzer’s infamous audit of radio stations which started in 2005 and resulted in Sony and Universal Music Group paying over $10 million each in settlements for payola accusations. According to Ebro, Hot 97 was found of no wrongdoing:

Eliott Spitzer ran through this radio station with a fine tooth comb and the whole city for payola? You know who the fu*ck got in trouble? The Program Director at Power 105, he got fired. They ran through everybody. You know what we got? 0 dollars. So, fu*k y’all n*ggas with that bullshi*.

Hip-Hop Rumors: VH1 Introduces New Love & Hip-Hop Cast Additions

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

It’s a wrap for Raqi Thunda, Jen the Pen, Winter Ramos, Consequence, Rashidah Ali, Lore’l and Olivia on Love & Hip-Hop, who are being replaced by Amina Buddafly, Peter Gunz, Tara Wallace and Erica Jean.

Tara Wallace is Peter Gunz’s girlfriend and a friend of Rich Dollaz. She’s currently the manager of a club in NYC and has two children with Peter Gunz. Oh and, she wants to be an actress. Speaking of actresses, Erica Jean is also an aspiring actress and she has a son. In the spirit of Olivia, Amina Buddafly is a singer who used to have a  group called “Black Buddafly” with her sisters. These days she’s taking a crack at solo stardom.

Same formula, different people. Peter Gunz’s phuckery is probably going to be epic though. I’ll keep my ear to the streets and report back.

WTF News: Stimulant Close to Meth Found in Workout Supplement

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Craze, a popular sports supplement that’s sold as giving extreme energy and focus, has been found to contain a potentially harmful stimulant similar to methamphetamine.

Via Huffington Post:

A new study published Monday in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis found that the stimulant in Craze isn’t listed on the product’s label, and hasn’t been studied in humans.

“Alarmingly, we have found a drug in a mainstream sports supplement that has never been studied in humans,” says Dr. Pieter Cohen, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who worked on the study. “The health risk of using supplements adulterated with a drug should not be underestimated.”

The substance, N,alpha-diethylphenylethylamine (N,alpha-DEPEA) was described as a stimulant with effects that are “likely less potent than methamphetamine but greater than ephedrine.” Cohen told USA Today that it’s difficult to gauge the compound’s effects or addictive properties because it hasn’t been studied.

“It might make you feel better or have you more pumped up in your workout, but the risks you might be putting your body under of heart attack and stroke are completely unknown,” Cohen told USA Today.

Reports say Harvard researchers began studying Craze after two athletes who used it last year were banned from international competitions after failing drug tests. Samples from a GNC store and a couple ofwebsites were revealed to contain 21 to 35 milligrams per serving of N,alpha-DEPEA, which is a pharmaceutical-level dose.

It’s crazy how much shady business goes on when it comes to what’s in our food and even supplements. It might be for the best to just keep it simple with a banana, nature’s energy bar, or heck, maybe even coffee.

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Love & Hip-Hop’s K. Michelle has been on this “Rebel Against” campaign lately where she encourages her fans to rebel against negativity, especially bullying. Yet one of K. Michelle’s fans, probably former fan now, had a recent experience with the singer that wasn’t very nice.

Said fan encountered K. Michelle, Yandy Smith and others in Ricardo’s Steakhouse, a popular Harlem eatery. It was her birthday so she asked K. Michelle for an autograph and allegedly got turned away with a stank attitude. The fan was so upset that she ranted about it on K. Michelle’s Instagram. Check it out:

Celebrities are human too but it was foul if K. Michelle was stank about the situation.
