(AllHipHop News) DMX has attempted to restructure his finances by filing for bankruptcy, but it may not be accepted because of mass inconsistencies, according to published reports.

In July. the rapper filed for Chapter 11 and claimed that he had over $10 million in debt and under $50,000 in assets.

But, the rapper has allegedly not complied with creditors by missing key meetings. Additionally, there were a number of disparities with the financial reporting and the amount of money that DMX made. In one report, the rapper said he made $5,000 and another, $1,600.

Chapter 11 allows a person to restructure their debt, rather than wipe it out. The Justice Department reportedly wants the rapper to re-file for Chapter 7, where X would have to liquidate his assets.

(AllHipHop News) Ab-Soul has no qualms with speaking about his groupmate/”brother” Kendrick Lamar but he does want to clear up the group’s perception. In a recent interview with Montreality, the Control System rapper addressed his threat of leaving Black Hippy, what is holding a Black Hippy album back and more.

While Soul Brother #2 says in the interview that a Black Hippy album will happen “when that check is right”, he also takes time out to address his previous tweet threatening to leave Black Hippy:

I don’t want people to think Kendrick is Lil’ Wayne or 50 Cent. It’s not G-Unit. My boss is not Kendrick. Kendrick didn’t sign me. Kendrick didnt add me to his group. This was a collective long before there was Black Hippy.

Soul says his untitled upcoming project is a “diverse body of work” that will be arriving soon, however gave no concrete details on the project. He also gives a succinct reaction to Kendrick Lamar appearing on the song “Love Game” from Eminem’s upcoming album The Marshall Mathers LP 2:

Eminem would be foolish not to have him on his album

Check out the full interview where Ab-Soul speaks on wanting to get “Reasonable Doubt Jay Z” on a song, the realest lyrics he ever wrote and more:

Cam’ron, Jim Jones & Juelz Santana Reunited In Miami

(AllHipHop News) Fans of Harlem-based Hip Hop collective Dipset have been hoping for a formal reunion of the crew for years. While there is currently no new music from the Diplomats, three original members Cam’ron, Jim Jones, and Juelz Santana did get together over the weekend at Bamboo nightclub in Miami.

The trio hosted the Prestige Sundays event, and according to reports Cam and Jim performed a few tracks for the crowd. It has been more than five years since Dipset has released a full project together, and at the moment another Diplomatic Immunity or More Than Music does not seem to be on the way anytime soon.

During a recent interview with Power 105’s The Breakfast Club, Cam’ron talked about why a future Diplomat album is not likely to happen in the near future:

Everybody’s doing something and it wouldn’t be genuine. We could all go to the studio for two or three days and give y’all an album but it wouldn’t be genuine like with the Diplomat movement. You watched some guys or some kids grow from not really having too much to being really successful, so a lot of our fans grew with us. So if we can’t sit down together for a month or so, not saying everyday, and get it right, it would be fake and nobody wanna give y’all fake music.

Cam did recently release his own mixtape Ghetto Heaven Vol 1. The 19-track tape has been downloaded over 100,000 times at Datpiff.com.

(AllHipHop News) During a recent Self Made 3 Listening Session at Circle House Studios, rapper Rockie Fresh of Maybach Music took a moment to speak with AllHipHop.com about appearing on his first retail release and how he plans to follow-up.

“[It’s] amazing bro, there were ni**as in Chicago telling me I’d never be on the racks. I favorited some of them too, in 2010 when ni**as told me I’d never be in stores,” Rockie Fresh told AllHipHop.com. “[It’s amazing] for me to have my first time being in stores with my big homies Rozay, Meek Mill, Wale, Stalley, Omarion, Young Breed, Fabolous, Gunplay, the list goes on.”

Rockie also touched on jumping on Meek’s “Dreams & Nightmares” tour, which provided invaluable experience to the budding MMG rapper.

“Touring with Meek on the Dreams & Nightmares tour was a super dope experience, mainly because every show was sold out,” Rockie Fresh told AllHipHop.com. “Meek already got his fan base, he’s already popping…me being a member of the squad it was a real good look. I viewed it as a privilege. He was going to sell out if he didn’t have nobody opening for him. For him to give me that look and me to get my fans up, it was a blessing.”

Angel is set to release her debut album Dirty Gold via Universal Republic in 2014. She dropped the New  York EP and the Classick mixtape in 2012. The 22-year-old’s buzzing career led to her be selecting as one of XXL’s Freshman Class members for 2013.

Hip-Hip Rumors: Who Wants To Sue Over The TLC Movie?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Headlines

The word on the street is that somebody is planning to write a tell all book on TLC that will represent some of the other sides to the drama. See, what had happened was, there was a movie the other night on VH1. And, there was another girl before Chilli in TLC – her name was Crystal. Crystal Selene Jones. Word out there is that Crystal is considering dropping a full BOOK to talk about her side of the story. Basically, they are saying that Crystal refused to sign the contract that the rest of TLC complained about for the whole movie. Basically, this means she was smart, but how smart? Not so sure. I’d venture to say that even though they got completely jerked based on their success, T-Boz, Chilli and Left Eye (RIP) are better off than they started out. BUT, I DIGRESS.

StraightFromTheA.com takes this a step farther and they posted pics to prove the validity of her claims.

Crystal took it to Twitter:

It seems that TLC is the brainchild of Ian Burke, Crystal and Rico Wade of Organized Noize fame, but since homegirl didn’t sign on the line, she got cut outta the deal. Sounds fishy! From what I understand, she considers T-Boz and Left Eye (RIP) as backstabbers for continuing on. And they just added another C, which was Chilli.

SPEAKING OF BRAINCHILD – PEBBLES…

Pebbles – who takes credit for bringing TLC to us fans – caught the biggest L last night. For those that don’t know, Peebles is a 90’s singer, turned executive. She was married to L.A. Reid before he cut off his curl and mustache. Pebbly Poo went ballistic. On Twitter, as she was portrayed as a backstabbing, lying, conniving, thieving – but beautiful – record label owner. “I am in shock listening to all this mess and lies on this radio interview!! This is madness!!!” she said on Twitter. “It’s SO hard to believe this! DO NOT believe…Not going to comment about this anymore on here UNofficially. Dealing with this though.”

Pebbles is reported to be looking into her legal options.

Borrowing a promotional tactic from Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, each copy of The Gift will come with a “Golden Lottery Ticket.” A raffle will be held on December 23rd with a winner receiving a cash prize of $10,000.

The New Orleans rapper plans to use his latest work to give back to those in need in another way as well. Proceeds from sales of The Gift will help fund No Limit sponsored holiday toy drives.

“As I get better with time, the man upstairs has blessed me and continues to give me the inspiration to share my talents or should I say my GIFT with my current and new fan base of music consumers of all ages and ethnic backgrounds across the world”, stated P. “With the holidays approaching and the economy being the way it is, many families will be unable to buy gifts for their loved ones and that’s why I want to give everyone THE GIFT. Most importantly, I will be able to use my gift of music to help give back to underprivileged kids in many communities, and give them a chance to receive Christmas gifts that they would normally not be able to afford. It is my hope that this will encourage other artists to join me in this movement.”

Master P’s The Gift will be released December 6th. Each limited edition will also be personally signed by Master P.
