(AllHipHop News) When 50 Cent announced he was leaving Interscope Records, the questions began about why the G-Unit leader was leaving his longtime label home. 50 later stated he felt like people in the building were so closely tied to Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre’s Beats headphones brand that his association with SMS Audio headphones caused a rift.

50 addressed the split with Interscope further in an interview with Cosmic Kev:

The last communication I had with Jimmy we were actually talking, and Jimmy tells me he doesn’t like me. For whatever reasons  – the miscommunications or his interpretation of why I’m actually doing the things that I’m doing – it doesn’t even matter. Just get me off the actual label before this s**t goes bad. Because I’m not getting the actual response I want out of the material that I’m releasing with them, and it’s to the point where I’m not even trying to put the right thing out. I’m just sitting here, “Put that one. Get that one. You can’t get a song with Em and Adam Levine? What can you get?” They didn’t get anything on Kendrick [Lamar] until after the record sold.

50 goes on to say his latest single is performing better without Interscope’s backing. He claims “Smoke” is doing well on radio, and the label hasn’t had “a record delivered like that in probably three years.”

The Queens rapper also admits that he admired Iovine and credits the record executive for helping his career be a success, but adds, “I’m prejudice… I don’t like people, who don’t like me.”

(AllHipHop News) Magic Johnson is the most recognizable player in Los Angeles basketball history, but the owner of the Clippers has no interest in seeing him at his games. In a phone conversation leaked by TMZ  Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling informs his girlfriend, V. Stiviano he does not want her bringing Magic Johnson or any Black people attending Clippers games.

The couple’s argument occurred on April  7th after Stivano posted a photo with Magic Johnson on her personal Instagram account. After Stiviano  asks Sterling what is wrong with minorities., the Clippers owner likens the race to “the enemy”. Then later states that his girlfriend is allowed to have sexual intercourse with Black people but breaking one cardinal rule is forbidden:

You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want.  The little I ask you is not to promote it on that … and not to bring them to my games.

Magic Johnson quickly responded to Sterling’s comments and pointed to the irony of his racist views in the light of his team being predominantly African American:

It’s a shame that Donald Sterling feels that way about African-Americans. He has a team full of amazing African-American basketball players that are working to bring a championship to Clippers fans. The Clippers also have a strong minority fan base.

In a surprising twist, Sterling’s wife, Rochelle Sterling filed a lawsuit against Stiviano on Friday (April 26th),  or having an affair with her husband. According to Mrs. Sterling’s suit, Stiviano seeks after wealthy men with a variety of aliases including Vanessa Perez, Monica Gallegos and Maria Valdez.

[ALSO CHECK OUT: RZA Says None Of The Wu-Tang Clan Members Have Heard The New Wu-Tang Clan Album]

RZA was the only Wu-Tang Clan member to announce the upcoming unique sale of their double disc album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin which involves selling the album to one buyer and not traditionally releasing the album. RZA has stated that the album was recorded over a six year span and has already garnered $5 million offers. In his interview, he reveals that he is the only member of the Wu-Tang Clan that has actually heard Once Upon A Time In Shaolin:

No, none of the members have heard the album. On the original 36 Chambers, that was how it was done. They didn’t hear it until I finished it and brought it back and showed them: “This is the album. This the work we put in. This is what I concocted.” 

RZA reasons he does not need to let the other members of Wu-Tang Clan listen to the album due to its unique release strategy. RZA also states he is deferring to the opinion to a group of anonymous “experts” in the process of selling Once Upon A Time In Shaolin:

This is different than that, so I don’t think the same course of action will follow. I’ve given the power of the situation over to some experts, and they’re going to take about two weeks to figure out exactly the proper course of action to take, and then we’ll announce it. And I’m going to take the expert opinion.

Hip-Hop Rumors: A DMX Movie Coming?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Headlines
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

There is a little buzz on the street and that’s saying that there may be a DMX biopic on the way.

Are you interested in a movie that would talk about the Dark Man X?

I think it could be of interest to us, the people, because we have been captivated by his story from day one. The catch is, who would play DMX? I am hearing X could play himself, but also its possible an actor could. The other component I am hearing is that the movie would be a deep saga sort of film that would be based on the book on X’s life – “E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX.”

The book came out in 2003 and is still available. Here is the description:


The dark journey of a boy who became a man, the man who became an artist, and the artist who became an icon. A talent for rhyme saved his life, but the demons and sins of his past continue to haunt him.
This is the story of Earl Simmons.

I wonder how true this is and is there a market for it? Hell, the way they give life story movies to Mark Walberg…this seems to be a no-brainer. But you tell me!?

(AllHipHop News) Taraji P. Henson recently appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show and decided to reveal a few secrets about the infamous sex scene between herself and Tyrese for the 2001 film Baby Boy.

According to Taraji, filming the scene in front of John Singleton and Tyrsese was nerve racking and the night before she “dealt with everything that Taraji did not like about Taraji’s body” in order to prepare. However,

So I had to deal with Taraji’s stuff the night before, Tyrese did not however. He was great, but he was in the corner basically crying. ‘I don’t want to do this’. I’m in the robe like ‘Tyrese, ok babe, we have to get through this scene.’

Shortly after that revelation, Tyrese appeared to confront his former Baby Boy co-star. While he attributes him being a “grown a*s man” as reason enough to believe he was not crying before the scene, he does admit that his inexperience did show on the set.

Baby Boy was my first role. So, I didn’t know what the definition of Method Acting was. So, Taraji defined that for me  on the set.

(AllHipHop News) By 2014, we should all know that phrases such as “scheduling conflicts” are nothing more than public relations rhetoric. Michael B. Jordan appeared on the first episode of The Boondocks’ new season and revealed how he initially joined on before Aaron McGruder was let go.

On March 20th, Aaron McGruder’s absence from the fourth season of The Boondocks was explained by Adult Swim as as resulting from an inability to agree upon working schedules. In a statement released a week later, McGruder explained how painful leaving The Boondocks was, but did not specify his reasons for leaving.

During a recent interview with Huffington Post, Michael B. Jordan appeared as the Chris Brown-inspired character Pretty Boy Flizzy and shed some light on the situation:

Aaron is actually a buddy of mine. And honestly I forgot. He had to tell me, not that long ago, that he got fired from it. And I was like, “What, really?!?” It kind of caught me off guard, I totally forgot.

Jordan does attest that he does not know specifics of McGruder’s removal:

But not knowing the specifics behind it or whatever … So you can’t really make that call. I’m not sitting in those rooms. But to see my boy pushed out might be a little messed up.

Aaron McGruder is currently producing a new series for Adult Swim called Black Jesus.
