DJ's Get Their Shine At 2013 Global Spin Awards Nomination Announcement (VIDEO)

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

(AllHipHop News) This past Wednesday, The nominees and honorees for the 2nd annual Global Spin Awards were revealed in New York City by an esteemed panel of guests. The panel included DJ Drama, Executive Vice President at Def Jam Shawn “Pecas” Costner, DJ Scratch, the legendary Grandmaster Flash, Shawn Prez and the host of the upcoming awards, Sway Calloway.

Shawn Prez explained how a network of individuals knowledgeable of the DJ culture across the world comprise The Global Spin Awards’ Bureau which handles the nominations.

We took individuals all across the music industry and we asked them to submit an honest and fair vote. Just one vote per category, that’s all either of these people were able to do. We have individuals from Texas, individuals from overseas, individuals from the West Coast, the Midwest, the East. Once these votes were tallied, we went for the top 4 or 5 people who got nominations. There’s no buying your way into a nomination. There’s no befriending Sway or anyone on this panel because any one on this panel can only give you one vote.

The honorees at this year’s Global Spin Awards will be Kid Capri (Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree) and DJ Marley Marl (Legendary DJ Award Honoree). Grandmaster Flash spoke on his admiration of both legends at the press conference:

On Kid Capri

The first chance I got to see Kid Capri was at this place called Tavern on The Green which was located in Central Park. I was off that night and I made it a point to put on a suit jacket, because that was the only way you was getting into this place, and go see him. What made him so special was not only was his skills incredible but he was able to talk, or MC, or rap as it be, at the same time. There are those who DJ incredible. There are those who talk on the mic incredible. He’s one of those DJ’s who’s able to do both amazingly. My plan was to stay for an hour but I ended up staying the entire night and watched him throw on jam after jam  after jam and talk as he was going in and out of his cuts.

On Marley Marl

I’m recognized in taking the turntable and mixer and making a science out of it. Marley took this machine and picked this one sound that today is the basis of how Hip Hop tracks are created. I have to speak technical right now, because this is where I’m most comfortable. I found this unknown turntable company called Technics and Gemini. Marley found this unknown drum machine by a company called Roland. He found a way to manipulate this low frequency sound and tune it and called it 808. For those that DJ’s, for those that produce, you have to know what I’m talking about. That low end rumble that you hear in almost 99% of Hip Hop songs today. I give major, major, major respect for Marley for taking that sound and finding a way to technically to insert that into a Hip Hop track.

The 2013 Global Spin Awards will take place in New York City on November 18th.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Big Meech Coming Home?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

At first I thought Big Meech was coming home, but there is something else happening. If you know about BMF, then you know about “The White House.” The White House is owned by Demetrius Edward Flenory aka Big Meech of BMF, who the Feds say is an infamous drug dealer. BUT, I should say WAS the owner, because I am hearing that it has recently been sold to Atlanta Attorney, Catherine G.  McCauley. McCauley ALLEGEDLY had a very cool relationship with Meech back in the day and this purchase is raising some eyebrows. Its getting some people to believe that the big homie Meech may be coming home and this is the set up. The White House was close to being turned over to the government, but my sources say this lawyer got it! Its a beautiful space, valued at about $358,000.

Maybe she’s setting up for Meechie’s return!?! Or just now owns a dope home. Literally!

Russell Simmons On Harriet Tubman Sex Tape Backlash: "They Tried To Turn Me Into Paula Dean"

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Russell Simmons was entangled in a big controversy recently when the Hip Hop mogul’s All Def Digital YouTube channel posted a video titled “Harriet Tubman Sex Tape.” The backlash over the clip was immediate and even garnered a response from Tubman family members.

[ALSO READ: Epic Win Of The Day: Harriet Tubman’s Family Bodies Russell Simmons]

Simmons appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show to talk about the decision to remove the video that depicted the iconic historical figure having sex with her slave master.

“I’ve done lots of comedy in lots of bad taste,” said Simmons. “This particular piece, when I understood how hurt people were I pulled it down immediately. I’ve never pulled down a piece of content.”

Simmons adds that he has faced negative responses over material showcased on his previous productions like Def Comedy Jam and Def Poetry, but this was the first time in 30 years that he did not support the artist.

The Def Jam co-founder also complains that even after taking down the video some individuals do not want to let the issue go. He told Arsenio, “a lot of these do nothing Negros, they were very angry and kept talking” and “they tried to turn me into Paula Deen” referring to the former Food Network star that lost her show and numerous endorsements after admitting she had used the “n-word” in the past.

Daily Word: Trust, Love and Understand!!

By: Ash Cash (@IamAshCash)Category: Lifestyle
Happy Friday my loving and trustworthy! Welcome to the day that you realize who deserves a front row seat in your life and who shouldn’t even get an sneak peak! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to Trust, Love, and Understanding! Your time and energy are the most important commodities that you have! If you waste them you will NEVER get them back! Who you spend your time and energy with, will play a tremendous role in your success or lack there of. Make sure as you are on your quest for greatness that you are being selective to who you share your life with! Just because someone says they love you or they care about you, doesn’t mean that they really do! Many people want you to do well but not better then them! Allowing these type of people into your life is not only a setup for failure but a guarantee that you will not live the life you deserve! Stop allowing your life to be discounted! Make people earn your love! And in the words of the great Maya Angelou… When people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM!!! Trust, Love, and Understand….. Trust that everyone who says they love you, really does, Love yourself enough to recognize when that’s not the case, and Understand that in order to move forward you have to get rid of the dead weight! In life you can either build or destroy! Choose Wisely!!!

-Ash’Cash“Do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell you, ‘I love you.’ There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.”
-Maya Angelou (Via Topper Cheatham)

“Love is a verb, not a noun. It is active. Love is not just feelings of passion and romance. It is behavior. If someone lies to you, they are behaving badly and unlovingly toward you. They are disrespecting you and your relationship. The words “I love you” are not enough to make up for that. Don’t kid yourself that they are.”
-Susan Forward

“Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it’s broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother sucker’s reflection.”
-Lady Gaga

“Trusting is hard. Knowing who to trust, even harder.”
-Maria V. Snyder

“Trust yourself, you will start to trust others.”
-Santosh Kalwar

“Loving someone is giving them the power to break your heart, but trusting them not to.”
-Julianne Moore

“Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.”
-Stephen R. Covey

You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment unless you trust enough.”
-Frank Crane

Hip-Hop Rumors: Strange Rumor With Joe Budden And Lady Luck

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Rumors

I heard a strange rumor about a love triangle with Joe Budden and Lady Luck? I”m not sure I even want to tell more. HOWEVER, after googling it, I see another site run by Viv of The Gossip Game fame is running this already. The rest of the words below are not my own….

Let me start this post off by saying that the views and opinions expressed in this email I received are NOT the views and opinions of myself, my writers or HipHopGossipSite.com. Both Lady Luck and Joe Budden are friends to the site so on that note, everything contained in the email is strictly rumor until proven otherwise. So let’s begin shall we?

So I get this email about Joe Budden’s newest girlfriend, Mia Bunny, who is “alleged” to also have been dating rapstress, Lady Luck at the same time as Joe!!

Click the “Read More” button below to read the rest:

Joe’s new girl, “Mia Bunny“,  just likes rappers and loves to chase them. Ask Young Money. For about a year, her and my homie (dope MC Lady Luck) were talking. She was down in Miami (and that’s a WHOLE nother article) and they would text back and forth for hours, late night calls til the am. She hunted Luck down (there’s proof) thru Twitter. 

Fast forward a year, she comes to New York and they go out a few times and on the phone for hours. Luck went to Miami for 2 weeks for vacation then saw the pics of Mia all in Joey house. Funny thing is she was texting Luck the whole time!



When asked about Joe she said it wasn’t like that. Captain Joe ain’t even notice it’s an Amber Rose situation and he’s being completely used for “Love & Hip Hop“. Lady Luck stays with a stable, but I wanted to expose this fraud. Mia got so frustrated Luck didn’t answer her calls or texts she took it to Instagram. 

 

There’s waaaaaaY more dirt in her past, but I’ll release that when the times right. Trying to get my hands on Luck’s phone to show them text messages!

WOW!!!! I really don’t know what to say, so I’ll leave that to you guys! I’ll hold!

“They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!” -illseed.

EXCLUSIVE: Loaded Lux Speaks On Math Hoffa/Serius Jones Fight + Lupe Shout Out For 1st Time

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

(AllHipHop News) Last night, The nominees and honorees at the 2013 Global Spin Awards were announced by a panel which included Sway Calloway, Grandmaster Flash, Def Jam Executive Vice President Shawn “Pecas” Costner and DJ Drama.

Loaded Lux was in attendance and spoke EXCLUSIVELY to AllHipHop about his connection to the DJ culture, the recent fight at SMACK/URL’s Summer Madness 3 and Lupe Fiasco calling him one of the greatest rappers alive.

AllHipHop: The Global Spin Awards is the first award show for the DJ’s. What is your connection to the DJ culture?

Loaded Lux: Well you got to know at this point we started with the MC rocking the crowd. But between an MC and the DJ it was a one-two just in terms of moving and keeping the people involved. The MC is the master of ceremonies, but the DJ, being that vessel to the people right now, is everything, The DJ is still a very significant and essential piece to the game. Without the DJ, you won’t rock the crowd. Right now the DJ has the pulse of the people.

Recently you were very critical about Smack/URL’s Summer Madness 3. As you know there was a physical altercation between Math Hoffa and Serius Jones. What is your reaction to that and how do you feel about battle rap getting physical? It does get pretty aggressive.

Yeah it does, but it’s more mental than physical but at the same time we cant build and destroy. These things happen. There’s a lot of testosterone in battle rap and sometimes it boils over. But the main thing is that the consumer, the critic and all audiences need to keep in mind that this culture needs to keep building. We always trying to do things in a productive manner to keep the culture. So we cant always glorify elements that seep over into the culture.

Lupe recently released a song “Peace of Paper/Cup of Jayzus” and said ‘Me and Lux got the same points, the greatest rappers are tied’. Jay Z also tweet out ‘you gon get this work’ after your epic battle with Calicoe on Summer Madness 2. How do you feel to get recognized by MC’s of that caliber.

Overwhelming. Inexplicable. I cant even give you anything to equate to what that is. I’m just honoered and that was fuel to the fire. Also a breadcrumb to let me know to keep going and doing what matters.

WTF News: Man Charged With DUI While 'Driving' Lawn Mower

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

This is actually a WTF and a fail.

Thomas Marrone, 55, was charged with driving drunk while riding a lawn mower down the street. The Pennsylvania man was driving the mower along the road at approximately 1:30 a.m. before being stopped y police.

Cops say Marrone wreaked of alcohol and had an open can of Coors Light beer in the mower’s storage compartment, reports AP.  Marrone said he was driving to his home, 6.4 miles away. He faces a preliminary hearing Tuesday on charges including driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.

Hold up, his license was suspended too?

So, most likely he thought that riding a lawn mower was the way around his license situation instead of just calling a friend or a cab. Not only that but he’s getting charged for “driving” under the influence but the vehicle was a lawn mower! Shouldn’t there be some special charge for this? Luckily he was on the road during a time when there probably weren’t many cars out but still…imagine how slow that thing was going and what that could have done to traffic.

There’s way too much wrong with this case.

Breeding Ground Pick: League Of Extraordinary G'z [#BGA] "Intercourse"

By: Steve Raze (@SteveRaze)Category: Breeding Ground

Austin, Texas-based rap crew League Of Extraordinary Gz are a rap group rooted in the tradition of groups like Public Enemy and Dead Prez, unafraid to tackle hot-button topics both political and socially minded, while still having fun. The group’s latest single, “Intercourse,” is an example of the latter as LOEGz teams with Dallas rapper Slim Gravy, of the group A.Dd+, and lets loose over hazy track. League Of Extraordinary Gz will release their new album, #LeagueShit, on October 15th. The album features Dead Prez, Bavu Blakes, and more.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kim Kardashian Will Take North West on Tour With Kanye?

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Word is that Kim Kardashian plans to take her new daughter, North,  along when Kanye West embarks on The Yeezus Tour. Life on the road can get tough, so Kim will only travel to select cities and fans shouldn’t get their hopes up about actually getting a glimpse of the infant.

Via RadarOnline:

“Nori will be back at the hotel. The new parents don’t want her to be exposed to a lot of people, and random strangers. Kim thinks she and the baby will remain with Kanye throughout the North American leg, but life on the road is going to get very old, very fast,” an insider told Radar.

It’s going to be hard keeping the baby on a schedule so, good luck. I bet it was Kanye’s idea since he probably doesn’t want to be away from his new baby girl too much.

The tour kicks off on October 19, in Seattle.
