Watch Footage From Kanye West's Unaired "Black Larry David" Pilot For HBO

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Three years ago actress Alison Quinn uploaded footage of an unaired HBO pilot starring Kanye West to YouTube. Somehow the 4-minute clip went mostly unnoticed until now. In the video Kanye is playing a fictionalized version of himself similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s Larry David.

According to a 2008 MTV report, the show was not picked up because HBO executives called it “too hard-core.” Writer and producer for the program Larry Charles also expressed that he felt HBO was not sure what to do with the show because it featured a black main character.

“HBO doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to black shows, and I felt like that may have had something to do with it also,” said Charles.

Charles also talked about meeting with Kanye about creating the show.

“What Kanye West said to me the first time, he said, ‘I’m the black Larry David.’ That’s the first thing he said to me,” added Charles. “So it’s like a Kanye-and-Curb’ show.”

Non Hip-Hop Rumors: Is George Zimmerman A Child Molester?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

YUP! George Zimmerman is going to have a crazy rest of his life, here on. Lets just start with the accusation that George Zimmerman is a perverted child molester. Peep:

“It started when I was six,” the woman told investigators in 2012. “We’d all lay in front of the TV and we had pillows and blankets and he would reach under the blankets and try to do things and I would try to push him off but he was bigger and stronger and older,” the woman said, audibly weeping in the Florida State Attorney’s Office interview recording released Monday. “It was in front of everybody and I don’t know how I didn’t say anything, I just didn’t know any better.”

“We’ve known about this since the beginning but out of respect to her privacy, her emotional state, we haven’t said anything,” Natalie Jackson, an attorney for the family of victim Trayvon Martin, told The Huffington Post.

“This is the first time in my life that I’m not afraid of him,” the woman said. “[H]e cant get to me. If I saw him on the street or saw him anywhere it would just make me break down in tears, but now with everything going on I know that he’s not going to be out in public. I won’t go to Target and see him anymore. I’m not afraid of him anymore.”

AND…there is another woman on deck ready to come forward as well to claim the same. Apparently, she charges that Zimmerman and his family only liked “oreo” Black people.

“I was afraid that he may have done something because the kid was black,” the witness told investigators. “Because growing up they’ve always made, him and his family have always made statements that they don’t like black people if they don’t act like white people. They like black people if they act white and other than that, they talk a lot of bad things about black people.”

Dahveed Nelson Of The Last Poets Says Hip Hop Is Now "The Devil"; Calls Jay-Z A "Coon"

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) The Last Poets are considered one of the forefathers of Hip Hop. The 1970’s spoken word collective’s politically conscious poems over beats laid the foundation to what would eventually become rap music. Dahveed Nelson (formerly David Nelson), one of the founding members of The Last Poets, is now expressing his contempt at what Hip Hop has become in his eyes.

“This whole Hip Hop generation, it’s the devil. It’s Satan. It’s hedonism. It’s the pursuit of pleasure. There’s no soul. They’ve captured our medium,” Nelson told Fox Sports’ Jason Whitlock.

Nelson contacted Whitlock after the sports columnist wrote a critical article about Jay-Z becoming a sports agent. Whitlock received a lot of negative feedback about the piece, but Nelson wanted to reinforce Whitlock’s assertion that Hip Hop is currently a negative influence on society and called out Jay-Z in particular.

“[Jay-Z] is one of the most wealthy people in America, certainly one of the wealthiest blacks and most influential, for being a n***er, for putting on blackface and cooning. That’s what he’s getting paid for,” said Nelson.

The 74-year-old, who now lives in Ghana, also agreed with Whitlock that Hip Hop is to blame for George Zimmerman’s profiling of Trayvon Martin as a “thug” by reinforcing those images to the public.

“You can put the blame squarely on Hip Hop,” said Nelson. “The enemy has its responsibilities, but you’ve got the collaborators. That’s what the whole Hip Hop culture is.”

Nelson goes on to call Jay-Z and Russell Simmons “pimps and prostitutes” and says Hip Hop’s global reach is now affecting children around the world including those in Africa. He states that he is not angry with the “righteous seeds gone astray” and believes they can change their lives.

“I hope they repent, pray for the Creator’s pardon and turn to a righteous path.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Chris Brown And Rihanna's Legal Woes Mount!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Rumors

RIP TRAYVON:

Chris Brown. Rihanna. These two seem to be indelibly connected. And, not they both have legal matters to tend to.

First. Chris Brown is looking to be in major trouble, as the State of CA is looking to revoke his probation rooted in the beat down of Rihanna. But the revocation is because of an alleged hit-n-run. Peep what TMZ reported.

According to the [court] docs, obtained by TMZ, the D.A. is asking for the revocation based on charges being filed against Brown in connection with a hit-and-run last May. Brown left the scene without forking over a California driver’s license and proper insurance info.

The D.A.’s legal docs claim Brown “willfully and unlawfully” broke the law in the hit-and-run case. And, law enforcement sources tell us, even if the L.A. City Attorney ultimately agrees to drop the hit-and-run case because the victim doesn’t want Brown prosecuted, the D.A. will press on because Brown has a duty to obey all laws as a condition to his probation.

The D.A.’s documents asks the judge to revoke his probation and immediately remand him into custody. But we’ve learned that’s a standard request and when the D.A. goes to court today at 1:30 PM PT, they will not ask the judge to haul Chris to jail.

RIHANNA GETS SUED:

Peep what they are reporting over at Rhymes With Snitch is saying:

Last year Rihanna filed a lawsuit against her former financial advisers claiming they cost her millions of dollars [click here if you missed that].

Now Berdon LLP wants RiRi to pay big bucks for refusing to show up for court…

According to reports Rihanna has blown off court date after court after being ordered to sit down for a deposition in the case.

The last straw for Berdon LLP was spending over $100,000 to set up a deposition in London, only for the pop star to blow off the meeting again.

Berdon LLP wants the case dismissed and Rihanna fined $100,000 for wasting their time.

New York City Peacefully Rallies For Trayvon Martin (PICS/VIDEO)

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

(AllHipHop News) Yesterday (July 14th), New York City mobilized and peacefully protested the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the murder of Trayvon Martin.

City Council Member Jumaanee Williams, donning an all black hoodie in 88 degree temperature gave a riveting speech on the fallacy of a “post racial nation”:

Ann Tripp and Bob Slade from WBLS were a few of the many speakers at the protest to share their thoughts with Bob Slade urging for “constant indignation.”
