(AllHipHop News) TMZ reports the San Francisco Police Department has informed them that 2 Chainz was robbed around 4:30 PM in San Francisco, CA on June 9th.
The police discovered 2 Chainz after responding to a call about shots being fired in the area. Video surveillance footage allegedly shows 2 Chainz being the target of a robbery.
Also an interesting caveat of the video surveillance footage is that it reportedly shows that once the incident occurred, 2 Chainz’s entourage of 14 people “ran away from the incident like “cockroaches running from a flashlight.”
The police department says 2 Chainz stated he wanted to handle the matter himself and states he was only robbed of a wallet.
(AllHipHop News) The San Francisco Police Department has revealed that 2 Chainz was robbed around 4:30 PM in San Francisco, CA on June 9, confirming the AllHipHop Rumors initial report.
The police discovered 2 Chainz after responding to a call about shots being fired in the area. Video surveillance footage allegedly shows 2 Chainz being the target of a robbery.
Also an interesting caveat of the video surveillance footage from a TMZ source reportedly shows that once the incident occurred, 2 Chainz’s entourage of 14 people “ran away from the incident like “cockroaches running from a flashlight.”

This is crazy! I have heard of diplomatic immunity, but this is definitely going too far! Apparently, this Saudi prince was trying to get with a woman and the woman turned down his advances. He allegedly grew upset and took what he wanted without her permission – her body and her life, according to techyville.com. And, its all on “tape.” But, the hook is: he probably won’t see any legal punishment.
The report:
Legal immunity is one thing, but some things just go too far. Police in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia have confirmed that a girl was r@ped and murdered by a Saudi prince.
Witnesses in Samer, a Jeddah suburb, saw the girl’s body being dropped out of a car that drove away from the scene on May 30. The people who saw the girl wrapped her up in a blanket and called police. When police arrived, they realized the girl had died.
The plate number for the car was captured by the police surveillance system, and that is when they realized that the car belonged to a Saudi prince. The man accused of this horrible crime is Khalid bin Sa’ad bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud The man met the girl at a shopping mall and she turned him down.
According to police, the girl was then kidnapped by a friend of the prince’s and taken to a place where she was harassed. When she tried to get away, that’s when they r@ped and killed the woman. He then stripped the woman’s clothes and dropped her out into the street.
Witnesses are also saying that they saw the prince’s body guards put the woman into the car. There is no word yet on how police plan to prosecute the crime.
When news broke last week that the Three Six Mafia was reuniting, it created quite a stir. But the big catch to it was that it would be without one of its founding members, Juicy J.
As previously reported, Juicy J told DJ Big Bink that he is holding out for more money.
“When Columbia Records sit us down and cut that check, its going down,” Juicy said. “They cut that check, magic’s gonna happen.”
The Three 6 Mafia is a pillar of the southern Hip-Hop community. They elevated it to a place it had never been prior to their arrival. And so in addition to Juicy J’s reason of money, AllHipHop.com thought of 5 other reasons he should reunite with Three 6 Mafia (none of which detract from his ambitions as a solo artist, see #4).
Let’s hope that when the smoke clears this time, all the original members are present. A Three 6 Mafia record just doesn’t sound like one without everybody there.
5). Hypnotize Minds
Not to say that artists can’t be successful on different labels, they certainly can. Hypnotize Minds though is a record label started by Three 6 Mafia in the mid 90s and so it would be very fitting if the collective was able to come full circle and reunite at a place they started together as the Three 6 Mafia. It can’t happen though without Juicy J. This would be a better look and make a more powerful statement than what is currently set in place- the group reunited minus Juicy J as Da Mafia 6 on Scale-A-Ton Entertainment.
4). Even if a Group Member Goes for Self, it Can Still be a Victory for Everyone
Like the Wu-Tang Clan’s gap between Wu-Tang Forever and The W, similar things can be said for Three 6 Mafia’s recent hiatus: an established Hip-Hop group takes a break and members work on solo endeavors. But things in Hip-Hop change fast and just as how albums like Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele helped build momentum for The W after the Wu had been off the scene for a minute, Juicy J should do the samein order to help set up Three 6 Mafia for a proper reintroduction. By him dropping a solo joint with Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang Records (where he’s currently signed) prior to re-joining Three 6 Mafia on a new project, it could be a great way to connect the rap of yesterday and today. It would help introduce newer rap fans to Hip-Hop veterans and show older school Hip-Hop heads that a group that has been in existence for over twenty years can still compete with the modern Hip-Hop scene.
3). Not the Same Group Without Original Members
Another group that Three 6 Mafia can learn from is N.W.A. After Ice Cube left the group and Efil4zaggin dropped, the response to the album was good. But it just wasn’t the same without Cube. And to this day, O’Shea Jackson is still strongly associated with the group even though he only appeared on their debut album. It’s safe to say that Juicy J will have a similar fate with Three 6 Mafia no matter what the future holds. So why not reunite the Three 6 Mafia that everybody wants to see instead of put together a variation of it? The group’s underground classic “Tear Da Club Up” just wouldn’t sound right without Juicy’s verse.
2). Oscar Win
To many, selling out means compromising artistic integrity in order to make money. However, Three 6 Mafia (Juicy J included) did no such thing when they made “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp.” The song was used for the John Singleton-produced film Hustle & Flow which tells the story of a Memphis pimp who aspires to turn his life around by becoming a rapper. The film was a critical and commercial success which garnered so much mainstream attention that the Three 6 Mafia even won an Oscar for “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” in 2006. In the words of the Oscar host Jon Stewart not long after their win, “Martin Scorsese: 0, Three 6 Mafia: 1.”
1). Production
In addition to his rhymes, Juicy J is also skilled behind the boards. Without his sonic contributions (in addition to DJ Paul’s), the Three 6 Mafia’s extensive catalogue would be missing such classic sounds as the Willie Hutch sampled “Stay Fly,” or the mellow vibe of “Sippin’ on Some Syrup.” For a long time, the sound of Southern Hip-Hop was limited to Miami bass. Fortunately, Three 6 Mafia helped expand the southern sound and Hip-Hop is definitely better because of it. For even further evidence of Juicy J’s creative production skills, check out Project Pat’s “Run a Train” where Juicy J recorded people actually having sex in the studio and put the resulting audio on the finished track.
What do you think? Can Three 6 Mafia reunite successfully without Juicy J? Will the group still have it after all these years? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!

(AllHipHop News) Earlier this year Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge released the concept album Twelve Reasons To Die. The Wu-Tang Clan emcee and veteran music producer also joined forces in March for a performance in Los Angeles, and now the Boiler Room has released some footage from that session.
The intimate showcase featured a live band, Killah Priest, and some stoned-face, blood crying women cloaked in red. The candle carrying ladies circled Ghostface as he performed “The Rise of The Ghostface Killah.”
(AllHipHop News) With the June 18th release date for Kanye West’s Yeezus closely approaching, the G.O.O.D. Music leader showcased some of the tracks from his 6th solo LP at last night’s Governor’s Ball festival in New York.
After running through “Black Skinhead,” “New Slave,” and a couple of Cruel Summer tracks, Kanye performed a new song called “On Site” and later revealed “I Am A God.”
Kanye also spoke to the crowd about his different approach to rolling out to Yeezus.
“Y’know, with this album we ain’t dropped no single to radio. We ain’t got no big campaign s###. We ain’t even got no cover. We just made some real music,” said Ye according to NME. “But honestly, when I listen to the radio, that ain’t where I wanna be no more… At this point I don’t give a f### about selling a million records. I just want to put out an album that you can rock to this summer.”
Miley Cyrus may be responsible for pushing the twerk phenomenon to the masses! The gluteus maximus-challenged starlet has made headlines for her ability to twerk with the best of them. But, she’s now getting attention for jumping on stage at a Juicy J concert, in front of fans and Juicy, and twerking like her lil’ life depended on it to “Bandz Make Her Dance.” I still don’t know what bandz are to this day. What like Kool & The Gang makes her dance? They were a great band. Peep the vid and let me see what the hell is the band making Miley twerk.
(AllHipHop News) Fans of Reggie Noble will get two new projects from the New Jersey emcee in the coming months. The Def Squad rapper, better known as Redman, will be revisiting his classic 1996 album Muddy Waters on an EP and a full length album.

(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim has reportedly been involved in a car accident that resulted in her having to wear a neck brace.
The details have not been fully developed but the rap mistress tweeted some information to her 877, 808 followers.
Kim said, “Hi My Luvs. I’m ok minor car accident that left me w/ whip Lash now I’m stuck wearing this stupid brace 4 a week and a half but I’ll be fine.”
After a number of retweets from fans, she thanked her fans.
“Thank u all for ur prayers and support I Luv u all God is Great ! #mykillerbeehive.”
Lil Kim recently performed at Hot 97’s Summer Jam in New York.
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Eldorado Red was on the list when several men were arrested, but his government name of Gary Bradford slipped past most media.
The rapper has been arrested and implicated in a crime that resulted in the death of rapper Lil Phat.
Eldorado Red and Lil Phat were musical collaborators at one point, but now one is indicted for murdering the other. Eldorado was formally charged with criminal street gang activity, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm during a felony and murder.
Eldorado Red may not be a household name, but he has worked with the Waka Flocka and has more recently been embraced by Yo Gotti.
As previously reported, a man with mob ties, Mani Chulpayev, and Decensae White, a Division II college basketball star, are among those arrested in the death of Lil Phat.
Below are the legal documents that outline the current plight of Eldorado Red.
THE FINAL UPDATE: HEY PEOPLE! This is the rumor section! Its not supposed to be confirmed or even factual for that matter! Stop with the malarky like you (or I) are journalists. Here is the official news story on this. He was NOT shot, but you can see how being first can make for some info being off.
UPDATE #3: Sources have hit up AHH and said that 2Chainz performed about 30 minutes ago and its just past 2am EST. So, the rumors of being shot are basically sh*t. Stay tuned.
@allhiphopcom well there are pics him performing like 30 minutes ago on his tl so I doubt it
UPDATE #2: “2 Chainz was reportedly buying weed cookies from a medical marijuana dispensary when he was robbed in San Francisco.”
UPDATE: Early reports suggested that there was an attempted robbery of 2Chainz that failed. But, still there are rumors that a bodyguard was shot in the robbery attempt. Some say 2Chainz never got shot, but was robbed. Basically, there are several variations of this rumor.
WTF! They are saying on Twitter that our beloved 2 Chainz has been shot twice and robbed!!!! SH*T! I hope this isn’t the case! But, it sure feels bad. Sheeeesh! 2Chainz has not been on twitter for hours! God bless him if something has happened.
It seems it started right here in the tweet below!
BREAKING: @2chainz has been robbed and shot at twice in Oakland for the Oakland Summer Jam. #TheBay
Erykah Badu is a bad, bad woman! She’s over 40 (I think) and has had several kids, but looks good. But, it seems like her comedic side is intact. Apparently, a fan, or former fan, was not pleased at a recent Badu performance. And, she took it to Twitter to let Badu know. Badu also let her know what she thought during a studio session. I hope the dragging didn’t mess up the song she was working on! Sheeeeeeet! We need that Badu magic again.
Was Badu wrong for this?
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
Outside of staring on his reality show on Bravo, Chef Roblé Ali is a well-known caterer for celebrities, social media devotee, style maven, and a serious Hip Hop fan. Recently, AllHipHop.com sat down with the New York born, Texas raised culinary artist to talk about a variety of topics.
The current Brooklyn resident (who also goes by the nickname Flacco) discusses if prefers Ready To Die or Reasonable Doubt, whether he feels some of his namesakes are overrated, if he would still like to cook for Mike Tyson after his recent internet trolling of the former heavyweight champ, and more in the latest edition of “This or That.”
AllHipHop: What has been the strangest thing a celebrity has asked you to cook for them?
Chef Roblé: This is something that’s not strange to a lot of people, but it’s something that I never made before – blood sausage. It’s basically a pork sausage whose major ingredient is pig’s blood. You’ll see it on the show. It was my first time every making it, and one of the people that had it, that knows blood sausage well, told me it was the best sausage she ever had. It was my first time making it, so home run.
You’re also known for your style. Who are some of your style icons?
I would say Ugo Mozie. He’s a fashion stylist, fly dude. He’s actually one of my homeboys. He styles Chris Brown and some other people. Kanye [West] does some stuff that’s out there sometimes, but he’s a real fly dude. I like his style. Tell you the truth, I don’t really look at how other people dress. I do my own thing. I don’t really have a style icon.
You’re really active on Twitter. What has been one of the most outrageous things one of your fans has tweeted to you?
This girl is crazy. Her name is Resha, but she goes by @kanYeBreast on Instagram and Twitter. I tweeted something about my t-shirts, and she says, “I’ll buy one from you, but I need you to rub your balls on it first and then send it to me.” She’s hilarious.
Did you respond back?
I was like, “sure, if you’re into that kind of thing.”
Ms. Drama of “The Gossip Game” fame also sat down with Chef Roblé. Here’s the video.
If you could only eat one dish everyday for the rest of your life what would you choose?
Chinese style chicken and broccoli.
This or That – Better Brooklyn classic: Biggie’s Ready To Die or Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt?
Reasonable Doubt. I just liked it better as an album. I felt like the production is better. I felt like Jay at the point, at his first album, was a better rapper frankly. I felt it was a more well-rounded album then Ready To Die, but between Ready To Die and Life After Death, Big made a huge improvement. But I would definitely say Reasonable Doubt.
Goodie Mob’s Soul Food or Common’s Like Water For Chocolate?
Like Water For Chocolate.
Southern barbecue or New York pizza?
That’s a hard one. I would say southern barbeque, because you can only get that in the south. There’s great pizza from all different places. Chicago has great pizza. Of course, Italy.
If you could eat at only one New York hot spot: Beauty & Essex or The Spotted Pig?
Beauty & Essex. All day Beauty & Essex! I helped open that place up. Chris Santos, the chef there, is my mentor.
Ratatouille or Charlie and The Chocolate Factory?
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
Joe Flacco: elite quarterback or overpaid?
Elite quarterback.
A$AP Rocky aka Pretty Flacko: future of New York rap or flash in the pan?
I wouldn’t say either. I don’t think he’s a flash in the pan, but I don’t know if he’s the future. I feel like somebody’s gonna come and be original. That whole style, that’s Pimp C. That’s been done before. Not to take anything away from the guy. He has great songs, but I think somebody’s gonna come out the box that’s not gonna sound like anything else you ever heard before.
Cater for Mike Tyson: yes or no?
Yeah, I’d definitely cater for Mike Tyson. Hopefully, he won’t kick my ass.
Food p### or real p###?
Food p###. Definitely, food p###.
Chef Roblé & Co. airs Wednesday nights at 10/9 central on Bravo.
(AllHipHop News) Young Jeezy and Los Angeles-based Gourmet Footwear have entered into a newly- signed branding and marketing partnership. The partnership between Jeezy and Gourmet includes exclusive co-branded digital content, social media initiatives, and creative involvement from the platinum rapper. It also creates a platform to blend the very distinct worlds of footwear, fashion, and music to provide a comprehensive lifestyle experience that both Gourmet and Jeezy have incorporated into their individual brands.
“Similar to Gourmet Footwear, Young Jeezy is an individual who has seamlessly navigated himself to an aspirational lifestyle from humble beginnings,” said Greg Lucci, founder of Gourmet Footwear. “We look forward to partnering with Jeezy and working alongside him on his upcoming projects.”
The exciting new partnership will be celebrated with a meet and greet with the entertainer and select executives from Gourmet, including its founder, Greg Lucci, atan upscale Atlanta boutique this Thursday (June 13) and the celebration will continue with a private red carpet affair with VIP guests, local tastemakers, friends of the brand and other music industry elite. The two events will include entertainment from DJ RootsQueen, DJ Baby Yu, a special announcement from Jeezy and Gourmet, catering from Bottle Bar and complimentary drinks from Avión Tequila. In addition, Gourmet Footwear will host contest giveaways for shoes and other brand products throughout the two events.
“Partnering with Gourmet just felt like a natural fit for me,” said Jeezy. “I’ve been building my own clothing line for the past few years, so it’s only right that I collaborate with a top-tier footwear brand like Gourmet, who I believe to be the perfect blend of luxury and the street, which is what I’m about.”
Most recently, Gourmet Footwear released a minute-long vignette, which showcases the brand’s Spring /Summer 2013 collection in St. Barts and the brand is gearing up to debut a series of product based advertisements and promotions in the coming months.

Young Jeezy is currently recording his fifth studio album.
Last night after performing at the coveted Governors Ball festival in New York, Nas hosted the official after Hennessy V.S after party at SL. Nas was joined at the Hennessy event by Def Jam Executive Vice President Shawn Pecas, NY Giant Victor Cruz, rapper Lil’ Cease, reality star Scott Disick and Steph Lover, a radio personality. Hennessy also unveiled their Luminous brand, the new limited edition bottle that glows. Nas is also a part of a new Hennessy campaign and now has a billboard in Times Square.
(AllHipHop News) Tyler, The Creator’s Australian tour is over, but the California rapper isn’t leaving the island nation without controversy. After facing protests that his music was misogynistic from the feminist group Collective Shout this week, one of the organization’s members is claiming that she was verbally assaulted at Tyler’s Sydney show, and allegedly another women was sexually assaulted at that same concert.
Collective Shout’s Talitha Stone filed a complaint with police on Friday stating that she was constantly harassed by Tyler during his performance at the Enmore Theatre on Thursday night.
While speaking with police, Stone says officers informed her that they were already investigating an accusation of sexual assault at the show as well.
According to the Brisbane Times, a police spokesman has confirmed that a women filed a report saying she was sexually assaulted during a concert at the Enmore on Thursday, but apparently no formal statement has been taken yet.
In an article she wrote for The Guardian, Stone claims her abuse happened both in person at the concert and over Twitter.
On Wednesday, Stone sent out a tweet announcing that she would attend a Tyler signing event hosted at the Culture Kings clothing store, because she felt “they need educating on misogyny.”
Tyler then rewteeted Stone’s tweet to his 1.7 million followers. As a result, some of Tyler’s fans began to threaten and insult Stone over the social media site.
have to visit @culturekings tomoz to protest against @fucktyler he will be there at midday. I think they need educating on #misogyny
Despite the attacks on Twitter, Stone decided to attend Tyler’s concert to “gather evidence for [her] campaign.”
She claims to have recorded footage of the Odd Future leader calling her “b####,” “w####,” and “c###” (though the video embedded with the Guardian article does not show who exactly Tyler was referring to), and she says he dedicated the song “B#### Suck Dick” to her which also cannot be confirmed.
Prior to Stone’s accusations, Collective Shout had requested that the Australian government revoke Tyler’s visa and expel him from the country. Tyler was able to complete his entire tour and says he enjoyed his time in Australia despite the controversy.
I DID SLATER TONIGHT AND THE CROWD SANG THE MELBOURNE FITZROY PART. I LOVE MELBOURNE. AUS WAS AWES I ENJOYED
Somehow she has managed to keep our attention and Superhead Karrine Steffans keeps on keeping on. Now the man-eater is prepping a new book to celebrate her first expose. The new one is called “Confessions of a Video Vixen: Ten Years Later.” On top of that, she is working on something surrounding a graphic novel, which is weird because that’s an extended comic book. I found the science on Rhymes With Snitch.
“In the coming week, I will unveil the title and promotional art of my very first graphic novel, especially for my ComicCon enthusiasts. Simultaneously, I am also working on ‘Confessions of a Video Vixen: Ten Years Later’ for a summer 2015 release.”
“As a rule, everything I do is a set-up for a new book.”
DAMN, she basically said her recent antics with Wayne and Yung Berg were just stunts to get her books in a good light.
“Similar to Gourmet Footwear, Young Jeezy is an individual who has seamlessly navigated himself to an aspirational lifestyle from humble beginnings,” said Greg Lucci, founder of Gourmet Footwear. “We look forward to partnering with Jeezy and working alongside him on his upcoming projects.”
