(AllHipHop News) Last week The-Dream revealed that the track he produced, “Holy Grail,” for Jay-Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail album was actually created during the time Watch The Throne was being put together. Now NME is reporting that Jay tells BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe that “Holy Grail” and the song “Oceans” were at the center of an argument between he and Kanye West over which album should host the two tracks.

“We had this whole plan when me and Kanye did [the] Watch The Throne album that we would go right into our solos after that,” says Jay. “Soon as I thought we had wrapped up Watch The Throne, I made two records. I had ‘Holy Grail’ and ‘Oceans’.”
Jay-Z says he played the “Holy Grail” track, which did not have any lyrics yet, and “Oceans” for Kanye who suggested they put both songs on Watch The Throne.
“[Kanye] was like, ‘No those have to go on Watch The Throne, so we spent four days arguing about those records and I was explaining to him why it wasn’t right for this project and I had a whole idea for making this album called ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’,” explains Jay.
Apparently the argument between Jay and Kanye never got out of hand, but the Roc Nation boss does say it got physical between some other people involved in the process.
“Four days, four days literally arguing, not like fighting. Well, there was some pushing at one point but not between us, just everyone else got a little excited,” recalls Jay.
This is not the first time a musical associate of Kanye has talked about how he is very passionate about the tracks he likes. G.O.O.D. Music emcee Pusha T spoke about having to steal the track “Who I Am” from Kanye who wanted the record for himself.
“I ran in the studio real quick and laid a verse to it. I was like, ‘Man nah, this is my record already. I already rapped to it. What are you talking about?’ We just went back and forth, and he ended up giving me the record,” Pusha told Danny Diaz of Power 98.

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent has been talking about his fifth studio album, Street King Immortal, for several years, and while the rapper/businessman has released three free projects since 2011 the world still awaits the arrival of his next official LP.
The G-unit leader spoke with MTV News about why the project has been delayed for so long.
“I don’t really need the money off of the record. I want the record to be right. I’m not doing it without a plan. I’m not putting it out like that,” said 50. “It’s a lot of staff changes [at Interscope Records], a lot of different people moving in and moving out, so you got to kind of wait until everything’s right.”
50 Cent last studio album was 2009’s Before I Self-Destruct. He dropped The Big 10 mixtape in 2011, and last year he released The Lost Tape and the free album 5 (Murder by Numbers).
50 recently appeared on J. Cole’s “New York Times” off his number one album Born Sinner. He also collaborated with Kendrick Lamar for the single “We Up.”
In the time between releasing albums the Queens native has branched out into other entertainment fields like television and boxing promotion.

(AllHipHop News) Chicago rapper Lil Reese was arrested once again over the weekend after police found 24 grams of marijuana on him. According to a police report Reese (Tavares Taylor) was stopped by officers after he was seen standing with what police called known gang members.
When officers approached the area where the young men were standing, Reese turned and began walking away and then allegedly pulled a bag with a green substance out of his pocket.
Reese was then searched by police and they found the weed and $2,090 in cash on his person. Officers asked the 20-year-old where the money came from and according to the report Reese responded with, “It’s mine, I got a little weed. So what?”
The close affiliate of Chief Keef then apparently went on to say, “There’s serious crime out there. This ain’t a big deal. I’m gangster.”
This makes the third arrest for Reese in the last 4 months. A few weeks ago he was arrested for misdemeanor theft for using false documentation to acquire a BMW, and in April he was charged with criminal trespass to a residence with persons present, mob action, and battery.

Folks like to think Obama is out there for Black people and he’s not. So, there is a rumor going on that seems to suggest that OBAMA is going to file charges against Zimmerman. This rumor is out there and people are believing it, but there’s nothing more false about it.
Here is what is going around.
The fact is, Obama has done very little, but he did speaking out about it. He’s getting flack for it now that that Zimmerman beat the case. The facts are organizations like the NAACP are lobbying for the Dept of Justice to put Zimmerman on trial, asserting that he violated Trayvon’s Civil Rights.
What do WE DO NOW?

(AllHipHop News) George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, was found not guilty by a jury of six women today.
The verdict is the culmination of a polarizing case that has forced the nation to discuss race, class, brutality against youth and other matters.
The jury deliberated for 16 hours and 20 minutes before arriving at their verdict.
Many expressed outrage at the decision.
This verdict isn't "shocking" or "stunning" it's business as usual for Black people in America, we've never got justice

Lil Kim won’t do very many interviews, which is evident with AHH’s inability to lock in with her. BUT, she continues to put out new material. The Queen Bee is out here and almost got down with Cash Money. But, that deal never happened and clearly, Nicki has the number 1 female slot on that label. No Kim’s allowed. She may be setting herself up for some jokes with the title of her new song, “Looks Like Money.” The song is pretty cool. Here is the line and the song, below.
“Cash Money is so last year/ now when I do a show they pay me in gold.”

The Bey Hive is looking around with the Scooby Doo face right now.
There are rumors that Beyonce has killed her album! There are conflicting reports though. Some reports say its the scrapping of an album and others say a single.
“I just did two songs for her new album, well, I tried,” DJ/producer Diplo said in an interview. “I think she scrapped the record. The record was supposed to be done and they have been hitting me up for brand new ideas. I like to work from scratch, [but] sometimes I get called in to fix songs.”
Eventually, the Bey Hive got him to clear up the mess, saying that she scrapped HIS songs, not her entire album.
Hmmmm…..still shouldn’t it have come out by how or at least a new song?

Soul Khan is off to one heck of a year already and judging by some of the work he put in on Soulstice III his colleagues should be afraid, yes, they should be very afraid.
Soul Khan has risen through the ranks of the battle emcee’s, he has done and is doing amazing things with his Brown Bag brethren, but it’s the personal pieces in his solo projects that get people staring at this man and silently wondering, “Where in the hell did that verse come from?” and the answer is simple. The verses are from his heart.
This artists is more than just metaphorically clever. He speaks truth to power with a wit that can not be taught. He is able to transform any news story into something the listener can grasp and digest and he never shies away from the fight. He uses Hip Hop in a very nostalgic way because for Soul Khan Hip Hop is a call to arms. Only the difference between Soul Khan and a lot of these knuckleheads out here is his words are his weapon of choice and with them he can mow down a mere mortal with ease.
Check out an example of what we mean in the song below!
And here’s a classic example of his skills from one of our all time favorite SK songs to further reinforce our point!
Follow Soul Khan on Twitter to keep up with all of the new music he has dropping in the next few months! @soulkhan
The film about the life and death of 22-year-old Oscar Grant killed by BART police in the early morning hours of New Years Day 2009 is in theaters today.
Grant was returning home from celebrating New Years Eve with his girlfriend and friends when a fight broke out on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train. After being detained by BART police, unarmed Grant was shot in the back and killed while laying prostrate before officers. The officer charged with his slaying was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after stating that he shot Grant accidently, confusing his gun with his taser.
The slaying of Oscar Grant prompted several violent protests in Oakland, as well as numerous non-violent events of support, including tribute shows by local hip-hop artists.
SEE ALSO: OSCAR GRANT, OAKLAND & HIP-HOP: CONNECT THE DOTS
The movie, Fruitvale Station, was named after the station where Grant was shot. The heartbreaking and amazingly portrayed film stars Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle, Parenthood) and Academy Award winner, Octavia Spencer. The film was executive produced by Forrest Whitaker. Fruitvale Station won “Prize of the Future” at the Cannes Film Festival as well as U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and U.S. Dramatic Audience Award and is already being considered an Oscar contender.
Fruitvale Station is in theaters now.

There have been rumors about Kim and Floyd, but it seems like it may be back on. Floyd posted a pair of expensive shoes that he bought for Kim! Check them out. To me, they just look gaudy, but I asked a chick I like, but doesn’t like me back and she said they were hot.
Anyway, this has reignited the rumors that they are a couple. I didn’t write about it but Floyd broke off his nuptials with this fiancee so he’s free and clear. I know one thing, if if loses his next fight, I know who to blame!
Peace to the Queen Bee and King Floyd!

The jury has acquitted George Zimmerman, who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, news outlets and public figures are advocating peace. The case has all the potential for a riot-worthy situation, but that won’t create a sustained change. An unarmed, young black male, an “authority figure” killer in the then-29 year old neighborhood watchman, and the polarizing race factor.
The death of Trayvon Martin has not been far from the minds of black America, and yet, many white American’s are not following the trial or feel no real investment in the outcome. The case has proven that there is no post-racial America.
It’s time for a revolution. Time for a real conversation about race in America. If there is to be a “revolution,” it may not be televised, but it will definitely be tweeted. Social Media is the new TV and has been a source of feedback directly from the court of public opinion. And between the Zimmerman trial, the changes to the voting rights act, and all of Paula Deen’s crazy racism, it seemed to us a rough time to be black in America. It also seemed like a time to do something about it. So, we reached out via Facebook and Twitter to friends of our site for songs to add to our soundtrack to start the revolution.
