Hip-Hop Rumors: Kanye West: The Movie?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Rumors

Ahhhh…this stupid! I was perusing the IC today and saw an interesting thread called “Kanye West: The Movie.” The main imaged was of a dude that actually looked like Kanye West and so I decided to go deeper into it. But, it went in a different direction. Seems like some dudes got together and decided to do a comedy about Kanye West and his recent exploits in the media and life. I gotta admit, I was hoping for a real movie, but this made me chuckle and therefore I may watch it as long as its free. But, I have to admit, I thought somebody was going to do an unsolicited Kanye West movie. You know, at some point in the future, they are going to have actual movies on these rappers’ lives.


Since this turned out to be a non-factor essentially, check out this interview of Immortal Technique from VladTV.

Technique always brings the real.

Ryan Leslie Being Sued By NYPD Detective For Using His Voicemail In Song

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Anthony Ryan Leslie’s decision to use a NYPD detective’s voicemail on his song “Joan of Arc” may land the singer/rapper in court. Detective Luis Mortimer is suing Leslie for violating his civil rights by including the message on the track according to the New York Post.

[ALSO READ: Ryan Leslie Ordered To Pay An Extra $180K Interest On $1 Million Laptop Reward]

The incident started when Leslie’s supermodel ex-girlfriend, Nicole Trunfio, called police in 2011 because Leslie allegedly would not stop calling her and knocking at her door.

Detective Mortimer left a voice message for Leslie asking him to contact the officer about the matter. That message was then added to “Joan or Arc”. Mortimer claims he did not find out that his voicemail message was sampled on the song until a few months ago.

“The song has caused him embarrassment and has damaged his credibility as a detective,” said Mortimer’s attorney Monica Kipiniak.

“[‘Joan of Arc’] is actually based on a personal experience that I went through over that week,” Leslie told MTV in 2011. “Maybe in certain moments in life you want to sing something. But when you’re upset sometimes or when you really want to get your point across, you don’t want to sing to someone, you want to directly let them know what’s going on and that’s what the ‘Joan of Arc’ record is about.”

The Mortimer/Leslie lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court. Mortimer is seeking unspecified damages in the case.

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent claims that race had a major impacted in a case that ruled in favor of Sleek Audio.

50 alleged that the headphone company owed him $261,000, but the company disagreed. The matter was put in arbitration and a judge ultimately ruled in favor of Sleek Audio.

Court documents obtained by TMZ says that 50 claim the judge was against him because he’s a rap artist, African American and high profile. The mogul formally and legally responded in federal court.

50 wants the judgement thrown out and a new hearing. Sleek Audio denied the validity of 50’s allegations.

Joey Bada$$ Responds To Joe Budden Diss

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Joe Budden has captured the ear of the rap community with a “Control” freestyle, but a few of his remarks seemed to slight rappers from his own neck of the woods.
One such rapper is Joey Bada$$ the Brooklyn upstart that has gotten praise from old school and new school alike.
But that didn’t stop Budden from saying, “Some of these OG’s I laugh at, y’all don’t know me to half ass/To me it’s just one Joey that’s bad ass.”
But, Joey didn’t get all bada$$ on Budden. He did offer a fairly simple comment that won’t likely start an East Coast Civil war.

Hip-Hop Rumors: We Weren’t Supposed To Hear Joe Budden’s “Control”?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

Joe Budden’s control leaked over the weekend and boyyyyy did it bring back some momentum to this whole thing. Just when you thought it was over, Joe decides to add to the mix. And it was good!

Click here to listen to Joe Budden’s Control!

But, was it supposed to come out? I have heard from sources that say it was never supposed to see the light of day. I can’t say much more at the moment, because it would violate a confidential source. After a version hit ustream, the internet went semi-gaga, but all went semi-dark…and there is a reason for that. But, yeah…there are some things being created and responses to this song could create friction. Friction can stop things from being created. I know that’s super vague, but as close to the truth as I can get right now.

HEY…from a Hip-Hop perspective, this is great!!!!

Mama Wes was reportedly stricken with a sudden illness and died in Port Arthur hospital.

Thanks to everyone that has sent prayers and condolences. She was a great woman. Nurture us from boys to men and made us strong enough to handle this industry. She was the one that kept us going when we didn’t wanna go anymore. She was the backbone of UGK, the definition of loyalty, the personification of unconditional love and the essence of what being Trill really meant. She’s finally reunited with her son. God bless you both. RIP Mama Wes. You gave everything to make us Underground Kings.

December marks the sixth anniversary of Pimp C’s death.

Condolences go out to the family.

Signs The World Is Coming To An End: Black Man Lynched In NJ???

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

I’m hoping this is somehow false, but I am hearing that a Black man was found lynched in NJ. This ain’t the olden days so why are we finding this? It seems like the man was found and also bound, so people are looking at this past a suicide.

See the report below.

Jersey City, N.J. – A disturbing report is being circulated among various news outlets that a Black man was found hanging from a tree in a Jersey City, New Jersey park.

The lifeless body of the unidentified man, who appeared to be in his 60’s, was found in Lafayette Park on the morning of August 6, 2013.  NJ.com reports that a woman “who was walking on Manning Avenue near Lafayette Street just outside the park,” saw the man and immediately reported the incident to police officials.

Gene Rubino, who is the spokesman for the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office, said that the man was taken to Jersey City Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.  He also told NJ.com “that foul play is not suspected and that there were no visible signs of trauma or assault.”

A woman who identifies herself as Nurse Tonya tells a different story.  In the comment section posted on NJ.com, she writes, “I was there alone, in my truck, taking my two toddlers to the park to meet their daycare, and then on my way to work. I take the cobble stone road as a short cut and as I looked beyond the trees to see where the class was, I was curious why the park was COMPLETELY empty. I lowered my eyes as I was slowing down to see a man “Kneeling” yet hung from a tree.”

She then wrote that she called 911 but never got out of her car as she had her two children.  She also wrote that what she saw didn’t appear to be suicide because his hands were tied behind his back.  She wrote, “I saw the truth!  I have two baby boys and am devastated that I have had to explain to toddlers why they saw a man hanging from a tree. Get the 911 tape and set the truth straight! I am mortified, insulted, and saddened but I will not be silent no [sic] that I feel there is inaccuracy.”

We tried reaching out to the Jersey City police media department, but our calls went unanswered.

For now, Lafayette Park remains closed as Police investigate this heinous incident.
