Hip-Hop Rumors: Benzino’s Got A New Reality Show?
Just GREAT.
It looks like the reality show bug has bitten Benzino so badly that he’s going to be called Zion soon. I don’t know what that means, but that just is what it is. The latest is that Benzino is going to be STARRING in his own reality show called “Sucker For Love.” Now, the details on this show are next to none, but apparently it will be some kind of new version of “Flavor of Love.”
YEAHHHHHH BOYEEEEEEEEE!
Soon he’s going to be looking for women to co-star with him. Zino crunshin’ these chick like whaaaaaaaaaaaa! LOL!
And to think, at one point the Feds were looking for Zino for all sorts of crimes. I’m personally glad he’s cleaned up!

Another Rapper Gunned Down In Chicago
(AllHipHop News) Tavache “Trife” Kizer becomes the latest rapper to be killed in Chicago. The 38-year-old father and husband was murdered in South Dorchester on Monday afternoon. Kizer was shot in the head while getting his car repaired by an alley mechanic.
Police suspect that Kizer was not the intended target of the shooting. His killing comes just weeks after teenage rapper Leonard “L’A Capone” Anderson was killed near a recording studio in the city.

Trife had recently shot a video for the song “Respect The Youth”. He had been working on the final edits to the visuals with his brother Larry “Shaciaren” Kizer before he was killed.
“He wanted to show the true pain of the violence. He wanted it to be a tribute to Hadiya Pendleton, Trayvon Martin and the kids at Sandy Hook,” said Shaciaren about his brother’s vision for the video. “It was ironic that the last thing he wanted in that video were scenes of emptiness — empty playgrounds, basketball courts, swings and school hallways. Now, he has become a victim of the violence.”
No arrests have been made in the case.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Meek Mill Get Robbed At During A3C?
“N!99ga try to snatch my chain, that’s a death wish.”
From what I heard, the streets are on FIRE in Atlanta. They are saying that Meek Mill got robbed surrounding the events called The A3C festival. A3C was dope and honestly, there were next to no reports of anything crazy happened. Then THIS leaked:
RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: Whew! Who Got Robbed In Atlanta?
So, at the time, nobody knew what was going on or, more significantly who got robbed. BUT, as the streets heard about the wealth of the person robbed, the streets got to talking. Suddenly, I am getting rumors that Meek Mill was the one that was robbed down at the Hilton Hotel in Atlanta. BUT, there was some confusion.
RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: Jim Jones And Meek Mill Go At Each Other On Twitter
It seems that one of Meek’s dudes, somebody named Louie V Gutta (Dream Chasers artist) was robbed at a Waffle House and people are confusing the two situations. I don’t know these guys like that. This is what was told to me, but I see there are written reports to support the rumors of this. Somebody posted the following video.
SO, long story shorts, I don’t believe Meek Mill was robbed in the A at all. In fact, the person that did get robbed still remains nameless.

DJ Khaled: I Feel Rick Ross IS Like Biggie and ‘Pac (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) Little to the knowledge of Ma$e and the rest of the public, DJ Khaled is not disrespecting Notorious B.I.G., he’s collaborating with someone like him. During an interview with MTV, DJ Khaled compared the Brooklyn legend to Rick Ross.
After Ma$e indirectly denounced Khaled’s “I Feel Like Pac/I Fee Like Biggie” track from Suffering From Success, Khaled reasons that Rick Ross’ brash unapologetic lyrics allowed the Miami rapper to occupy a space in Hip Hop once owned by the fallen legends:
Ross is one of the biggest rappers in the game and one of the hardest gangsta rappers in the game and that’s what Biggie and ‘Pac was,
Khaled later admitted that there was no comparison to the two iconic MC’s on a duplication level but on another intangible:
Nobody’s like ‘Pac and Biggie, nobody’s sounding like ’em. I’m talking about the energy.
In an interesting twist of irony, the title actually originates with one of the only New York City natives on the possee cut featuring Meek Mill, T.I., P. Diddy, Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz. “I played Swizz the beat and I gave him a vision of who I wanted to be on the record. Swizz came up with this hook: ‘I feel like ‘Pac.”‘
DJ Khaled’s Suffering From Success arrives on October 22nd.
