Hip-Hop Rumors: Portland Fans P##### At Snoop? 2Chainz and The Constitution!! NEW JAY Z!

PORTLAND’S P#####!

I am hearing that Snoop Dogg has some majorly p##### off fans in Portland. It seems that Snoop Lion had a show in Portland a few days ago. That sounds about right. But numerous fans were p##### off that Snoop showed up to the venue like 3 hours late. A DJ tried to hold down the opening set, but things got hectic when the crowd started booing. Then they got really heated and started throwing bottles at the stage. Snoop DID show up, but he only did a 30 minute set. To be fair to Snoop, I heard this was like only the second time he has screwed up a show in Portland, but last time it was the same thing too. Maybe Snoop isn’t feeling Portland, or maybe he’s feeling their bud a little too much when he gets there. I heard the promoter is considering legal action, cause Snoop was supposed to be on at like 10pm and didn’t get on the stage til 1.

2CHAINZ CREW CARRIES THE CONSTITUTION WITH THEM!

2Chainz got busted in Oklahoma City in a scenario that seems like it could be in the sequel to CB4. So the affidavit was just released and here’s what happened. Some cops pulled the bus over for bad tail lights. When they attempted to get on the bus, the cop said he could actually see a plume of smoke drifting around the bus. Damn they didn’t even stop chiefin when the cops stopped them. Anyway, the bus driver refused to open the door. The funny part is, a guy in 2Chainz entourage held up a copy of the Constitution and shook his fingers at the cops. They ended up towing the whole bus with everyone on it and they found some weed on it. They also found some other narcotics, which means 2Chainz could be facing more charges. Isn’t the Constitution written on hemp paper? Maybe they were gonna smoke that next LOL!

Future and Ciara are balling out of control. The power couple hit the VMA’s in a private helicopter, then turned around and had the nerve to buy the newest car Bentley had made. The two dropped over $400k in total to scoop up the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. I am trying not to hate on Future, since he’s doing it so big right now. But he better be careful. Don’t forget he has two babby momma’s claiming that they need more money for child support for Future’s kids. Anyway, check out the Bentley.

Rap Duo Perform Hip Hop Remix of Shakespeare's "Othello" To Prison Inmates

(AllHipHop News) Incarceration is filled with idle time which people used to read books, write songs and generally get themselves together. Brother MC’s, Gregory and Jeffrey Qaiyum decided to fill the time of prisoners across the world with a modern Hip Hop remake of a 400 year old play.

The performance, “Othello: The Remix” is a retelling of Shakespeare’s classic poem of betrayal and regret “Othello”. The Qaiyum brothers’, renditions includes a new plot which centers around MC Othello releasing average rapper Cassio’s next album which infuriates upcoming vengeful rapper Iago.

The brothers have performed their renditions in England, South Korea and recently for 450 inmates at Chicago’s Cook County Jail. 

Jeffery reasons with the Associated Press that while the original Othello may be centuries old, the underlying message of the epochal play can still resonate with the inmates:

 (It) really comes down to choices and repercussions and often times, poor choices. I can’t imagine that some people in there are not going to feel that.

The brothers have remixed other Shakespeare plays for performances named “The Bomb-itty of Errors” and “Funk It Up About Nothin.'” They currently are working on offering a Hip Hop translation for every Shakespeare prose as well as for Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”.

The two men are apart of the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. 

Dave Chappelle Stopped Comedy Set After Being Heckled & Booed By Crowd Members

(AllHipHop News) Dave Chappelle was apparently heckled so badly during a performance in Hartford, Connecticut last night that comedic legend stopped his set. The Huffington Post is reporting that just five-ten minutes into his Funny Or Die Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival show, audience members in the front row at the Comcast Theatre began making too much noise and Chappelle refused to continue his routine.

Apparently, Chappelle spent the next 25 minutes sitting on a stool smoking, reading a book, and talking randomly. The crowd’s behavior led to the Oddball Festival’s official Twitter account to issue a statement to the attendees.

Chappelle eventually tells the crowd, “I’m never coming back. This was a nightmare.” He also apologizes to those attendees who were trying to listen to the show.

Chappelle is scheduled to perform at the festival’s stop tonight (8/30) in Pittsburgh.

Drake To Feature His Dad On 'Nothing Was The Same' Song

(AllHipHop News) As the release date of Drake’s upcoming album Nothing Was The Same approaches, more details about the project start to become public. The latest revelation is that the Young Money star will feature his father on the bonus cut “Heat of the Moment.”

“I’m living my dad’s dream. My dad wanted to be a famous singer,” said Drake in outtakes from a recent interview with XXL. “There have been other interviews where I was asked about my dad and I didn’t want to talk about it. And there were records where I didn’t paint my dad as the greatest guy. At the end of the day, my dad knows I love him and that he’s a great friend of mine.”

It is still unclear if Drake’s father, Dennis Graham, will be singing on the record or if his voice will appear as a sample like on the Drake’s previous song “Jodeci Freestyle” featuring J. Cole.

In the Q&A, Drake also discusses his belief that his current single “Hold On, We’re Going Home” maybe the “biggest and best” song of his career and how Nothing Was The Same’s “Tuscan Leather” is his most confident intro to date.

“I have a bar in there where I say, ‘I’m tired of hearing who you checking for/Now just give it time, we’ll see who’s around a decade from now.’ I guess just being here now for four or five years now, this run to me is crazy,” said Drake. “Then I’m curious to see who’s next? Who’s next to have a real run? I don’t know if anyone has emerged and had a real run after me yet.”

Florida Sheriff Takes Issue With Ludacris & Kendrick Lamar Performing At Local University

 (AllHipHop News) Sheriff Mike Scott is clearly not a fan of Hip Hop. The Lee County, Florida law enforcement officer sent an e-mail to the African-American president of Florida Gulf Coast University, Wilson Bradshaw, asking why the school would invite artists who regularly use the “n-word” and profanity to perform at FGCU’s Eaglepalooza concert. Ludacris and Kendrick Lamar were both booked for the show being held at the county-owned JetBlue Park on November 24th.

Bradshaw, whose daughter is a current student at FGCU, mentioned to Dr. Bradshaw that Paula Deen’s use of the “N-word”  thirty years ago leads to national criticism, but rappers use the word regularly according to NapleNews.com.

“We are going to welcome them to a county park with the endorsement of FGCU?” asked the sheriff.

The issue of safety also came up regarding the concert. President Bradshaw ensures that there will be 75-100 security officers on site, but Sheriff Scott mentions he may not approve extra police officers to work security for Eaglepalooza, a precedent that was set for previous events like “Girls Gone Wild”. Scott feels the need for extra security is an indication that the particular performers are the problem.

“We are not going to waltz out there like we would for a baseball game or a Carrie Underwood concert,” stated Scott in the e-mail.

In an reply to Scott, Bradshaw points out that Luda and Kendrick have performed at over 200 colleges and universities and no incidents of violence have been reported. University officials have also planned for further security measures to be put in place like metal detectors, large bags and coolers being prohibited, and no event reentry.

Bradshaw also makes it clear that the student-operated FGCU Programming Board books the performers for Eaglepalooza and officials at the university have properly prepared for the concert.

“As a university president – black or white – periodically there are expressed views related to students and faculty that the president doesn’t personally or professionally sanction or share. In this case, our students indicated a strong interest in inviting these performers to Eaglepalooza, and our staff assures me they are doing everything possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable event for the attendees,” wrote Bradshaw.

Sean Kingston Being Sued Over Alleged Gang Rape

(AllHipHop News) Back in 2010 Sean Kingston and some of his associates were accused of sexually assaulting a women in a Seattle hotel room. At the time the police dropped all charges against the singer because authorities did not believe the accuser was credible.

TMZ is now reporting that that same women has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Kingston, his bodyguard, and a member of his band over the alleged episode. She is claiming that all three men gang raped her while she was inebriated from marijuana and vodka and was unable to consent to the sex. She says the incident has caused her to suffer from mood swings, panic attacks, and lack of sleep.

Kingston has apparently filed legal documents as well claiming the sex between he and the women was consensual. A trial is said to be set for November.

 

Hip-Hop Rumors: "Queen" of Twerk Says Miley Needs "ASS Studies"!!!

Miley Cyrus’ twerk fest with Robin Thicke during the VMA’s has gone to a whole new level. Miley has drawn the wrath of Big Freedia, the Queen of Bounce. For those who don’t know, Big Freedia is a dude who has been in the New Orleans bounce scene since 1999. But homie rolls with a twerk team called The Divas who show everyone how to twerk that thang properly. I am not sure how Big Freedia calls him/herself, so here is what she/he said:

“They don’t have the moves down, but that can be fixed. Unfortunately, Miley’s performance was offensive to black culture –and certainly the portrayal of black women was questionable. She needs African-American and some ass studies. This is a wonderful opportunity to teach people about our culture though, and I just hope people dig beneath the surface of the word.”

Word to Hampton.

Yo Big Freedia is blowing up to yall. There’s a new reality show about to come on Fuse called “Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce.” The show comes on Wednesday, October 2 at 11pm and will take a look at the New Orleans bounce scene.
