Hip-Hop Rumors: K. Michelle and Erica Mena Beefing Over Rich Dollaz?

There’s a lot of words on the street when it comes to the Love & Hip-Hop franchise but I overheard something else that I needed to share. We already know that K. Michelle and Erica Mena have some beef going on. It’s so bad that they can barely be in the same room with each other but the whispers are saying that Erica popped off because she thought Rich was trying to move in on her on-off again man/manager Rich Dollaz.

We know that K. Michelle can saaaaang and Rich is a smart guy when he wants to be so when it got back to Erica that Rich may have been talking business with K. Michelle, she wanted to put the kabosh on that early (since we know that Rich likes to mix business with pleasure) and took it out on K. Michelle.

In fact, this seems to be a recurring cycle now in the Rich/Erica saga but K. Michelle ain’t thinking about Rich romantically or from a business standpoint.

That’s all I heard but I guess we’ll have to see what happens when Love & Hip-Hop returns.

Hip-Hip Rumors: Look Who Is Dissing Kanye West And Kendrick Lamar

Hopsin is running rampant again. He’s got a dope new video called “Hopin Is Back” and it co-stars his doo-rap. He went hard and then took a hard left on Kanye and Kendrick. He basically says that Yeezus was some BS and that Kanye overstepped his bounds. On Kendrick, he basically pops of some funny lyrics about his height and whatever.

Here are the lyrics:

I gotta problem yo’
I was ecstatic to buy Yeezus
But I burned it first
Heard it and snapped in 5 pieces
Man Kanye on that bullsh*t!
That’s why the paparazzi made that ni**a hit his f**king head that’s what that fool get
You think you god now you half assin rap little fa**ot b**ch
Perhaps you suffered brain damage back when you had that accident?
But most importantly, hip hop isn’t dead no more you see
Cause Kendrick took the bar and raised it up higher for MCs
Unfortunately the little ni**a like 4 ft 3, the guys a fu**in’ midget
His high is still really short to meet

Kanye just got engaged to Kim Kardashian…he ain’t thinking about this!

Hop’s dissed a lot of people like Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Odd Future so this is like his mantra even though he’s dope.

Fake Rock Star Who Worked With Game Sentenced To 7 Years For Bank Fraud

(AllHipHop News) Many people have tried to live by the phrase “fake it ’til you make it,” but wannabe rock star Robert Mawhinney is an example of how that philosophy can land you behind bars. Mawhinney, who performs under the stage name Robb “TaLLLLL” University was convicted of swindling four banks out of million of dollars in order to portray the lifestyle of a successful rock star.

The lead singer of the band Lights Over Paris was sentenced to seven years in prison after being found guilty on four counts of making false statements to federally insured banks and one count of money laundering. Mawhinney apparently received a total of $11 million in bank loans after claiming to have assets worth $8 million, but his net worth was actually closer to $10,000.

Mawhinney used the illegal loan money to pay for a studio, a luxury high-rise Los Angeles apartment, trips around the world, a $750,000 tour bus, and music videos. One of those videos featured rapper Game. The Game collaboration “I’m Not A Gangsta” was on Lights Not Paris’ EP Turn Off the Lights. The video currently has around 56,000 views on YouTube.

FBI Informant Accused Of Killing Lil Phat Appeared With Him In Reality Show Pilot (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) The case surrounding the murder of rapper Lil Phat has more twists and turns than an episode of Law and Order: SVU. The latest revelation comes in the form of video of accused killer and FBI informant Mani Chulpayuev appearing with Phat (born Melvin Vernell III) weeks before the rapper was gunned down in an Atlanta hospital parking lot in 2012.

[ALSO READ: More Details Emerge About Alleged Conspirators In Rapper Lil Phat’s Murder]

WSB got access to the footage of a television show pilot featuring Chulpayuev. In the clip the owner of a luxury car rental service can be seen introducing Phat to the camera and calling him “one of his good customers.” The former Russian mobster claims the video is evidence that he had no ill will toward Phat and had no reason to kill him.

Authorities believe Phat was murdered in a killing-for-hire plot over stolen drugs. Four other men, including Chulpayuev’s business partner Decensae White, were also charged in Phat’s killing.

Chulpayuev is accused of providing GPS information of the car Phat was driving to the hired gunmen, but he has denied any involvement with the shooting. It was revealed last month that Chulpayuev was an active federal informant tasked with gathering information for suspected drug dealers.

Daily Word: Be Extraordinarily Extra!!

Happy Tuesday my oddly peculiar and box thinkers of the outside! Welcome to the day that you realize that being average is as close to the bottom as it is to the top! Today’s Daily Daily Word is dedicated to being ordinarily extra! C. JoyBell C. once said that “Our key to greatness lies not in our ability to project ourselves to others as if we are putting ourselves onto a projector and creating an image of ourselves on a projector screen. Rather, our key to greatness lies in who we are which we can give to other people in a way that when they walk away from us, they are able to say in their hearts that they have taken away something with them quite extraordinary.” Walking into your greatness isn’t about doing great work then asking for recognition, it’s about doing great work, touching lives, and being who you were meant to be whether people see it or not! Being Ordinarily Extra is about doing and being the best that you can possible be! It’s about knowing that doing just enough will never be enough nor will it ever be acceptable for those who are destined for greatness! If your work speaks for itself stop interrupting… But in the same breathe understand when you are giving your best and when you can push a little more! Greatness is who you are so NEVER dim your light and NEVER attack your dreams half-ass! If you are not going to give your all then you might as well ride the bench! This is an important game and those who win are those who understand that losing is not even an option! By any means necessary is the best attitude to have! It’s Always too early to quit! Stay focused and do what you need to do in order to get what you deserve! Life is abundant and only those who are willing to sacrifice good to get to great will be the ones who enjoy the fruits of their labor! Be Extraordinary!! Be YOU!! and Be Unstoppable!!
-Ash’Cash

“If you want to lead an extraordinary life, find out what the ordinary do-and don’t do it.”
-Tommy Newberry

“Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible”
-Cherie Carter-Scott

“Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don’t. They sit on the internet all day and act as if life goes on forever.”
-Philip Andrew Adams

“We must overcome the notion that we must be regular…it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre.”
-Uta Hagen

“If you pursue happiness, you are an ordinary person. If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person. Do not chase happiness; let it chase you.”
-Peter Deunov

“It is in the so called common place that the extraordinary is found; it is when we choose to see things differently that magic reveals itself”
Brett Swabey

“We have one precious life: do something extraordinary today, even if it’s tiny. A pebble starts the avalanche.”
-K.A. Laity

“Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak people wait for opportunities; strong ones make them.”
-Orison Swett Marden

“You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.”
-Henry Drummond

Fail of the Day: Man Shoots His Wife After Fighting With Her Ex-Boyfriend

WTF News: Mother Jailed For Purposely Burning Son’s Penis and Nipples

A Massachusetts woman was jailed for up to 30 years after burning her 19-year-old son’s penis and nipples with a lighter. The perpetrator, Christine Gelineau, plead guilty to first-degree assault and witness tampering after she forced her son to lie about the abuse but the truth eventually came out.

Via the Mirror:

At a hearing in New Hampshire the youngster described in detail the brutal abuse she subjected him to.

“Dear ex-Mother,” he began as he read from a prepared statement. “What you did to me is unforgivable.

“You beat me, starved me, almost chopped my penis off, threw my clothes away, wouldn’t let me bathe.

“You almost killed me by having me take three (antidepressants) and two muscle-relaxers.

He continued: “Now that I know you’re a complete criminal and only wanted me dead so you could go back to your old life.

“You won’t be able to attend my graduation or see me go on to college, so I wish you goodbye. I hope you realize you have lost everything you had.”

In the affidavit for the case Gelineau admitted to burning the tip of her son’s penis, but claims she only did so after he threatened to have sex with her.

She then put on gloves and grabbed and twisted his penis before holding a lighter to it for several seconds.

The boy suffered second and third degree burns and permanent nerve damage. His mom is a disturbed animal and deserves every bit of that 30 years plus more.

Diddy Addresses Kendrick’s “King Of New York” Line

(AllHipHop News) All Sean “Diddy” Combs had was a few quips after Kendrick’s “Control” verse dropped.

But, the mogul had changed his tune a bit in a recent conversation with Big Boy of Power 106 in Los Angeles.
“When I was coming up, I always stated I was a king because I knew who I was. That’s like knowledge of self. So with [Kendrick] being a king, he’s a king, Jay’s a king, Ye’s a king but there are some cats that are not kings. You got to be a prince sometimes before you can be a king,” Diddy told Big Boy.

Then Diddy explained why the Compton upstart was a modern Hip-Hop king.

“Kendrick is deserving of his crown because he took hip-hop and put it on his back so crazy and has given birth to a whole type of real hip-hop generation that we needed to come back and it came from a cat that was, ironically, from the West Coast,” Diddy continued. “He went back to the essence of what hip-hop is about.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Gangsa Disciples Confront Waka Flocka in Chicago

Waka Flocka ain’t never scared, so it’s no surprise that he stood off with some Chicago goons claiming to be Gansta Disciples. The video starts with Waka seemingly greeting fans and then goes left when some random dudes start reppin’…from across the street.

Waka Flocka initially takes the bait but then keeps it moving when he sees that the dudes are probably just haters trying to knock him off his game. Watch:

Situations like this can get really crazy, really fast so Waka and his entourage did the right thing by walking away. Someone in Waka’s camp could have gone to jail or even been killed and for what, pathetic excuses of men who feel so lost and insecure that they have nothing better to do than try to drag other people into their madness? FOH!
