(AllHipHop News) Before Kriss Kross member Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly passed away last week the last time the 34-year-old was seen by most people was at the So So Def 20th Anniversary show in February.
TMZ has now obtained footage on Kelly the day he was found unconscious at his Atlanta home on May 1st. The video was said to be shot around 7 AM that morning. The rapper was later pronounced dead at Atlanta Medical Center around 5:30 PM that evening.
Chris Brown is a trip. First of all, the word on the block is that he celebrated his birthday with his ex-girl Karrueche Tran. So that’s that.
But, the streets are talking also about a few tweets that Breezy sent out to lead people to believe that he was in some sort of encounter over the weekend as well.
“[A brother man] can’t even be happy on his birthday! I’m over trying to please y’all! I’m catching any FADES. On god! Im wit all the bulls**!” he tweeted.
It didn’t stop there. He continued:
“I’m personally so fu**ing tired of people it’s sick! Who made y’all god!!!! Society is fu**ing overrated and a bunch of followers.“
Who peed in his champagne?
Not sure what happened, but something did and it definitely got him out of his zone for his 24th birthday. Rihanna was all the way in New York when all of this took place. I guess this also dashed to hell those rumors that she was going to buy him that crazy car for his birthday. OH WELL!
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim has been sued by a former business manager who charges the Queen Bee cost her millions in failed business deals.
Andrew Ro of International Rock Star Corp says he lost millions on Lil Kim after he had a number of products for the BK rapper to endorse, including perfume, energy drinks, vodka, clothing and even a honey maker. Ro says Kim wanted to be paid extra to attend meetings, which made it close to impossible to make the deals successful.
Ro said Kim refused to promote a perfume line and even stopped taking calls from the company.
According to TMZ, Kim send Ro a cease and desist letter to put a halt to all business deals in progress, charging that the IRS tricked her into these deals.
Ro claims Kim caused his company to lose $15 millions.
WOW! KRS-One still out there raising a ruckus since the 80’s! I’m not exactly sure what the backstory is here, but apparently, DJ “We Da Best” aka DJ Khaled had some history with The Teacha. KRS one didn’t exactly go in on Khaled, but he certainly said something. Khaled is old enough to know all about KRS and possibly have been a disciple of some sort. Just like Rick Ross coming up under Erick Sermon back in the day. But, times have changed and now those dude are doing their own thing. Not, sure what KRS wants to “say” here, but check out the video and you tell me.
Here are the words to the video:
“We was hardcore Hip-Hop before Khaled….(crowd gasps) I know. I did Khaled’s first show/ He used to call it The Temple / We used to come over to mental / Them cats got rich / I don’t want to say cats switched / But all a sudden n***as got high-pitched / Florida ain’t with that s**t.”
I think its pretty clear, KRS is freestyling off the top of the dome. This ain’t no written. Is Ace Hood going to come back at the Bronx Bomber!? Doubt it.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
(AllHipHop News) That was quick. Less than two weeks after Lauryn Hill was ordered to pay back over $900,000 in federal back taxes as well as state taxes and penalties, the ex-Fugees member does just that according to her attorney.
In an email obtained by Reuters, Hill’s attorney Nathan Hochman states that Hill has paid her debt in its entirety:
“Ms Hill has not only now fully paid prior to sentencing her taxes, which are part of her criminal restitution, but she has additionally fully paid her federal and state personal taxes for the entire period under examination through 2009.”
Even after releasing a Tumblr blog post on Thursday(May 2nd) stating she “signed a new record deal, and that I did this to pay taxes” her attorney attests the funds used to make the tax payments were not from record sales. Hochman says the funds derived from a combination of sources and last month that Hill obtained a loan from two pieces of real estate.
On Saturday(May 4th), a day before this news, Hill released a new song, “Neurotic Society” to iTunes and reiterated that her music is being released for legal reasons:
“Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline,” she writes in her blog post
“Neurotic Society” can be purchased on iTunes. Check below to stream the new song:
(AllHipHop News) It was a long night in Vegas and as predicted by many in the Hip-Hop world, Floyd “Money” Mayweather won by a unanimous decision against Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero last night at the MGM Grand.
Improving his record to 44-0, Floyd won in 12 rounds of boxing as he finessed and punished Guerrero with jabs, hooks and defensive tactics that wore out the younger Guerrero out.
While some boxing analysts questioned whether or not Floyd’s age and his recent incarceration would have an impact on the fight, Floyd held on to the Welterweight WBC Title in a decisive victory, silencing any critics that said he would be rusty.
To start the fight Mayweather was escorted into the ring by Lil’ Wayne who performed his song “No Worries” along side Floyds trainers, the TMT entourage and most importantly his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Hip-Hop and R&B talent alike were in the building as Kelly Rowland sang the “National Anthem” for the United States.
Also in attendance were Rick Ross and Sean “Diddy” Combs, who were pictured in between rounds.
Throughout the fight Guerrero attacked Mayweather into the ropes, but everytime “Money” Mayweather danced circles around the frustrated Guerroro, countering with every shot that Guerrero landed.
“We did it again,” an exhausted Mayweather told reporters ring side. “I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero, he’s a true warrior.”
Throughout the final four rounds of the fight Guerrero was struggling to abate a cut over his eye that was caused by a fierce jab from Mayweather in the eighth round.
When Guerrero did get close to Floyd, he dodged Guerrero or the two often locked up and the judge had to separate the fighters, as Guerrero continued to take what Floyd called “rabbit punches” – punches to the back of the neck.
Three judges eventually scored the match 117-111, and while some booing fans were looking for the knockout, Floyd says that he hurt his right hand earlier in the fight and felt bad he was unable to get the KO for fans.
After the fight rappers rejoiced in Floyd’s predicted victory.
“Wow! I can’t believe it. Floyd Mayweather just won!” – Captain Obvious.” Chamillionaire said.
“Again I say…. Speed kills” Scarface Tweeted.
“One of the beat things about the great fight last night,was seeing Floyd Sr back were he belong in his son korner! #letswin!” said Tone Trump
“Floyd is remarkable S/O @LilTunechi for support our hit single commas @lepbogusboys and @masonbetha floyd got more commas tonight.” – the LEP Bogus Boys Tweeted.
The night was also lucrative for some rappers that bet thousands on Floyd winning the fight.
“I got 20 Bands on Floyd,” West Coast rapper YG Tweeted before the fight.
According to Golden Boy’s Richard Schaefer, Floyd’s next fights are potentially with Amir Khan, Danny Garcia or a rematch with Victor Ortiz, as he closes out his final five fights of his career.

All people keep asking me is will Mister Cee come out of the closet on Monday in this upcoming exclusive interview with his own company, Hot 97. Now, Hot 97 has been extremely supportive of Cee. In fact, they joke about it like “Dude, get a room.” But, this interview will be interesting for a couple of reasons. First of all, last time he had an incident like this, he eventually pled guilty in the case. But, that was only after several denials. After that, everybody kept it moving. This new situation is quite the quandary, but definitely going to lead to massive ratings for Hot 97.
(AllHipHop News) MTV caught up with Lil Wayne and got the rapper’s views on the revelation that NBA hooper Jason Collins is gay.
Lil Wayne kept his response terse and to the point, but made it clear that door have been opened for gays in sports sports.
“What it does for sports? It’s opening a lot of doors and it’s showing that it’s a fair world out there. Just to see how many people came to his support and things like that, that’s a pretty fair world out there. Be you.”
A$AP Rocky shared a similar opinion, but also took a moment to chide those men that stay in the closet hiding their true selves.
“That’s his business,” Rocky said in an interview with KYSDC radio in Washinton DC. “I respect men more for coming out. People joke on Frank Ocean a lot but at least he’s not out here fronting. It’s a lot of people, a lot of motherf*ckers be out here, they be the closet motherf*ckers, you know? I don’t respect them. I respect gay men who identify it and who are out with it. I don’t have a problem with gay people at all. So it’s like, that’s his business. It don’t concern me. Number one, I barely get to watch basketball like that as it is. Number two, I don’t even know who this n*gga is that you talking about. Dead a**. He probably has ten times more money than me but I don’t know who he is. We got the Frank Ocean of the NBA now who came out and did what he had to do. Shout-outs to him.”

You might remember when I was trying to get over Kelly Rowland, who did magnificent last night at the fight, I was trying to get into Keri Hilson. Well, the rumors today say somebody else got in Keri. In fact, that’s the rumor – that she’s pregnant. Now, Kreayshawn’s baby will have a playmate. Well, the rumor is, Keri got knocked up by an NBA basketball player.
RIP Chris Kelly. JD Mourns.
While everybody was chatting up about the Floyd Mayweather fight, JD was depressed bout his Kriss Kross lil brother Chris Kelly. He was posting pictures and spoke of being “heart broken.” I can’t imagine the pain he feels, since Kriss Kross is a big reason why he’s successful.

As you may know, Cee was arrested on Saturday for trying to hook up with a male h#####. Not a lot of people have commented, but program director Ebro Darden is talking on the social network Twitter! Whoa! What’s to come of Mister Cee at this point. My thoughts: if Cee was a regular dude, he’d have lost his job.
Now you know, last time Cee got col’ busted, Flex was riding crazy for his boy. This time around, he’s just doing his job and reporting what happened. Damn. Must hurt a bit.

(AllHipHop News) Queensbridge bred rapper Nas is asking a judge to dismiss a New Jersey promoter’s $10 million lawsuit.
The suit stems from the promoter being kidnapped in Angola for 50 days after Nas didn’t appear at a Luanda New Years Eve concert scheduled in December of 2011.
While Nas say that the dispute was already resolved out of court by paying back a $300,000 advance, the promoter wants $10 million for being beaten and threatened at gunpoint while kidnapped in Angola.
According to TMZ, Nas filed court documents earlier this week asserting the dispute was settled during the promoter’s kidnapping, which eventually came to the attention of the United States State Department.
As part of the agreement, Patrick Allocco agreed not to sue for the incident, that also resulted in his son Patrick Jr.’s alleged kidnapping by Angolan promoter Henrique “Riquhino” Miguel and his associates.
Nas is also asking for a dismissal of the suit due to the fact that the promoter agreed to be “human security” for the concert prior to Nas agreeing to perform.
The Illmatic rapper says he refused to show up to the concert after a breach of contract on the Allocco’s behalf as plane tickets were botched and advance payments were late.
UH SHEEEEEEET!!! Somebody put a bun in Kreayshawn’s oven! The word on the street is the White Girl Mob leader is going to have her first kid. I don’t know who the father is, but I hope he’s a black dude. They can call him n***a. Sorry. I should not have said that. Anyway, seriously, happy baby, KreayKreay! Remember, illseed is always willing to be the godfather!
Rumor on the block is Reebok is looking to replace Rick Ross with another urban specialist to get the darker people to cop their shoes. I say that respectfully. Anyway. You won’t believe it. BOW WOW is allegedly one of the people that the brand is eyeballing. I mean, rappers are falling left and right with these sponsorships. Looks like Bow Wow is safe and he’s also on TV every day. This rumor started with Bow Wow himself, because he made a post on his Facebook talking about a meeting he was having. Not sure if he can drive sales, but he probably shouldn’t talk about his business dealings until the ink dries.
On the other side, I heard that Tyler The Creator losing his Mountain Dew Endorsement was just a sidebar and a reaction to the Lil Wayne / Rick Ross stuff. Basically. It wasn’t that silly online video in and of itself…it was fear of further controversy.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
(AlHipHop News) Gucci Mane is presently on house arrest in Atlanta, not completely free as previously reported.
The rapper must also undergo random drug and alcohol testing. He was released last week on $75,000 bond.
Gucci was incarcerated for hitting a man in the head with a champagne bottle at the Atlanta nightclub.
James Lettley, a U.S. Army E6 Staff Sergeant, said he was just celebrating his birthday with his wife when the attack occurred.
“Because Mr. Lettley was a fan of defendant Davis and his music, Mr. Lettley approached a member of defendant Davis’ entourage who was standing at the VIP area and asked if he could take a picture with defendant Davis, mentioning that he was a soldier serving his country, celebrating his birthday,” says a complaint filed in Fulton County Court.
Gucci Mane was subsequently charged with aggravated assault.
On Twitter, Gucci Mane recently proclaimed “I’m back.”
Floyd Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO) 146 lbs vs Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO) 147 lbs
Tonight The Money Team (TMT) ringleader, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, puts his 43-0 record on the line against southpaw Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the WBC Title.
Its been about a year since Mayweather’s last fight against Cotto, and a lot has changed since then. Floyd has served jail time for a domestic dispute turned violent, he had beef with former friend and TMT member 50 Cent, he patched up his relationship with his father and he left HBO for Showtime in a $250 million deal.
While Floyd has a had a little bit of trouble with lefty’s like Jose Luis Castillo, Zab Judah and DeMarcus “Chop-Chop” Corley, Floyd has always remained victorious and despite a few close calls, Floyd defense has remained impenetrable.
This fight is a fight that Guerrero has wanted for some time as he has called out Floyd on multiple occasions to fight over the past few years. After showing that he could fight in the welterweight class, many boxing analysts say this will be a test for Floyd as the rust from jail and father time are factors creeping up on his undefeated record.
From solitary confinement, back to the gym, Floyd has become the highest paid sports athlete of all time, but he is 36 years of age now, and Guerrero thinks Floyd’s legs are getting tired and the money and entourages are getting to his head. This is undoubtably a fight of polar opposites, as Guerrero’s small town and humble demeanor goes up against sport’s biggest superstar. It’s May Day, its Cinco de Mayo, get your popcorn ready, this will be a show.
