Kanye West Performs “New Slaves” Then Disappears (VIDEO)

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire) Updated Aug 2, 2013 at 10:48amCategory: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Now you see him, now you don’t. Kanye West has been relatively absent from the public eye following his July 19th attack of a paparazzi but he reappeared at G.O.O.D. Music’s Travis Scott performance at El Rey Theater in Los Angeles.

Scott requested the lights be shut off right before the pulsating bass of “New Slaves” sent the crowd into a frenzy which only intensified once the lights came back on and ~~Yeezus~~ Kanye was decked in a Black hoodie performing the most politically charged song of his career.

Check out the performance below:

Hip-Hop Rumors: One Hip-Hop King Goes Disses Another!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Aug 2, 2013 at 10:28amCategory: Headlines

Long before Jay-Z considered himself The King, there was DMC of Run DMC (In the middle above) who proclaimed himself The King of Rock, which was audacious in itself in the 80s. But, lo and behold in 2013, the two kings have a very different opinion of each other. Basically, DMC is not feeling that Jay-Z is not “hot” in the streets. He feels that people are brainwashed to like him.

Here is what he said in a recent interview:

“It was inevitable that hip-hop became commercialized but along the way our power got taken away. Now you got the same 12 records on radio being played over and over again. Lil Wayne, Jay Z ain’t hot, it’s just they’re programmed so many times people are brainwashed.”

“What made us, KRS, Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul great was that we wanted to change the world, taking responsibility for our actions. Now everything that’s negative in stupid ass America is
celebrated.”

What do you think?

Here is “King of Rock” for your viewing pleasure.

During the Q&A the 20-year-old shares his dream collaboration would be with fellow Chi-town native Kanye West, his favorite song of the moment is “We Ready” by Soulja Boy featuring Migos, and suggests Freakonomics by Steven Levvitt and Stephen J. Dubner as a book to check out.

It was also announced that he will be performing at XOYO in London August 26. Chance is scheduled to appear two days earlier at the Reading and Leeds Festival. Other acts participating in the 3-day English event include Eminem, Action Bronson, and A$AP Rocky.

When a Reddit user asked Chance for a random thought he took the opportunity to ask a question back about the comparison between two words that many find offensive.

“If black rappers say f*g is it okay for gay people to say n*gga?” asks Chance.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Guess Who Is Dissing Kanye West Baby Name?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Aug 1, 2013 at 10:30pmCategory: Headlines

Now, there are always going to be people that have a something to say. Sometimes we ignore it and sometimes we say stuff back. Kanye is well-known for saying something back. But, this time he may want to chill. Laila Ali, the daughter of the GREATEST boxer ever, has something to say about the name Kanye gave his daughter North.

I think Kanye is going to reconsider what he says back, because Laila is a brawler!At least she was!

PEEP!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Why Oprah Cannot Be Friends With Any Rapper…And Like The Whole World!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Aug 1, 2013 at 9:19pmCategory: Headlines

WELP! Check out this flyness. Oprah has used Hip-Hop in a great many ways this year. She has talked to everybody from Jay-Z to 50 Cent and made a spectacle of DMX with his “Fix My Life” mess. But she refuses to be friends with anybody that uses the N-Word. Mind you, this means she cannot be friends with just about anybody, not just rappers. She couldn’t even be friends with Martin Luther King, Jr. Or any KKK member. Or Rae Dawn Chong. Or Denzel Washington.

Anyway, yeah…here is what she said.

“You cannot be my friend and use that word around me. It shows my age, but I feel strongly about it. … I always think of the millions of people who heard that as their last word as they were hanging from a tree.”

I feel her on that.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Rick Ross Threatening George Zimmerman?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Aug 1, 2013 at 6:16pmCategory: Headlines

We know Zimmerman is riding around with a piece in the glove compartment, but that wouldn’t help if he was, say, involved in a drive-by. I’m not advocating that, but just saying it wouldn’t be of any help to him. But, these recent comments Rick Ross has said made me think. George Zimmerman is not even in hiding and tensions are still very high. Peep what he said in a recent interview with Global Grind:

“I’m still angry [at the George Zimmerman trial verdict]. I’m upset and really, really enraged. I’ve just been trying to keep from putting too much negative energy out there. So, you know, we’re just doing our thing behind our closed doors. But most definitely, that’s a big problem and something has to happen and it will.”

When I read it, it read a bit differently than after seeing the video. But the words are the word! Sounded like somethings going to happen!

(((GASP)))

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is DJ Khaled Lying Or Saving Face In Nicki Minaj Fiasco?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Aug 1, 2013 at 2:37pmCategory: Headlines

YO…I know its been one long bout of f**kery, but I’m starting to think just maybe Khaled threw a hail mary out there. He recently explained his “proposal” to Nicki Minaj. He said it really wasn’t real. But…well keep reading and we’ll follow up.

He told TT Torrez of Power 92.1:

“I was just having fun with it and just show love,” he says. “Bring some excitement for my fans and connect with the record. I just wanted to tap into the emotion of the record and really spread a message. I was joking with it and having fun. We be so busy making these big hits and I wanted to come with a dope plan to present the next smash single besides just giving it out. … I thought I did pretty good on the proposal. You know I want to get into movies and all that. So, I’m getting calls already for TV and stuff like that. They’ve been calling but now I’ma start looking at these roles. I really want to do movies.”

But, Busta Rhymes said it got increasingly real to MTV.

“Absolutely not. I knew nothing about the Khaled proposal at the time. I definitely was surprised when he did it and I definitely rewinded the MTV piece that he did it through about 30 times because I just wanted to see if he was joking, or if he was serious.” Did it seem more real with each replay? “I definitely felt like it was closer to real than BS because we know Khaled,” he added. “Khaled don’t do that. He’ll hype something up and joke around but that was a different kind of leap. If it was a campaign for the record, it was a brand-new, whole ‘nother angle that I ain’t never seen Khaled come from before, so it was definitely surprising for me.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Flavor Flav Kinda Disses Drake, Ludacris, Jay Z, Young Jeezy & Kendrick Lamar!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Aug 1, 2013 at 1:59pmCategory: Headlines

It really doesn’t matter if Flav is a rapper rapper or not, he’s official to the bone grisle. That said, it was odd that he went in a bit on some of the mainstays in rap right now are not Hip-Hop.

Chuck D also comments on Jay Z’s new deal with Samsung – very interesting. He basically says that this corporate aspect is not what’s good with Hip-Hop.
