Non HipHop Rumors: DMX’s Son Responds To Father, “DMX Loves To Play The Victim”
I think I’m going to start writing some news stories. I got a good one. I think they may get p#####, because its not a rumor! DMX’s son Xavier Simmons has responded to his father! Remember X said hat “Iyanla: Fix My Life” made his life worst, which AllHipHop broke exclusively. X-Man said, “The older that I’ve gotten, learning to see him as a person…He loves to play the victim role. At first, he thought the show was going to be all about him. When he started to tackle the tough questions, he just flipped out. Iyanla didn’t make his life worse, he did that,” Xavier said in an online video circulating. He also said that after removing himself from the situation with his father that he was able to find some clarity.
As AllHipHop.com revealed exclusively, DMX was not pleased with the direction of the show, as he though it would be about an addiction to women. The tone quickly changed to home in on his firstborn son, Xavier, and his addiction to drugs.

Below is the whole interview with Xavier.
Sorry! Its a slow rumors day so I’m jackin’ for news!
Oh, here is a bit of rumor stuff I heard about Xavier. I heard he’s a counselor or something at a local YMCA in upstate New York. He works with kids, I believe.
Damn. It just occurred to me. This sh*t is mad sad, b.

They Said What?! When Rap Lyrics Cross the Line
Even though Ray J said on Hot 97 that “I Hit It First” wasn’t directed his Kim Kardashian, the lyrics still have people second-guessing that claim. With lines like, “She might move on to rappers and ballplayers / But we all know I hit it first … I had her head going North and her ass going South / But now baby chose to go West,” there is little room to believe that the record isn’t aimed at his sex tape co-star and father of her unborn child.
Hip-Hop has a long history of diss records, but this has offended some because of its very personal content. And while freedom of speech is vital to creative expression, just because something can be said doesn’t mean it should.
AllHipHop.com now takes a look at a few other songs (in chronological order) that crossed the line into people’s personal affairs and, as a result, have become famous for all the wrong reasons.
Hit ‘Em Up: Spouses are a sensitive subject to many rappers. Tupac’s rousingly repugnant “Hit ‘Em Up,” however, wastes no time with such formalities and finds Pac talking about bedding Biggie’s estranged wife, Faith Evans, in the opening lines of the song.
S**t On You: Although it has since been resolved, Royce dissing D-12, especially Bizarre, over the group’s “S**t On You” instrumental rubbed a lot of listeners the wrong way when he referenced murdered D-12 member Bugz (“I don’t give a f**k ni**a, you can beat up with gloves/And if you want beef, f**k it you can meet up with Bugz”).
Super Ugly: The battle between Nas and Jay-Z is one of the most memorable ones in Hip-Hop history. But when Jay jacked the beat to Dr. Dre and Knoc-Turn’Al’s “Bad Intentions” and talked about his sexual relations with Nas’ baby mother and leaving condoms on a baby seat, it even prompted Jay-Z’s mother to make him apologize for it.
Rip the Jacker: In many cultures, it is understood that one should respect their elders and that rings true for Hip-Hop too. Canibus disregarded that ideal though and threatened to punch LL Cool J’s grandmother (the inspiration for LL’s “Mama Said Knock You Out”) in the mouth and called her a “b####.”
Loose Change: One of the most compelling things about Eminem as a songwriter is his willingness to discuss his personal life, emotions, and circumstances with listeners. While feuding with Shady Records and G-Unit, Ja Rule used that information and took it a step too far by spitting, “Em you claim your mother’s a crackhead, and Kim is a known s###/So what’s Hailie gonna be when she grows up?”
What do you think? Are there other songs that you feel clearly crossed a line? Sound off in the comments section!
Hip-Hop Rumors: Juelz Speaks On JoJo! Trinidad James’ Has A Beef?
Trinidad James may have to check his chicks. I admit this rumor isn’t the strongest but its a slow day. I suppose I’m mostly wondering what’s up. Who am I kidding? I don’t really care about this. But, here is the deal really fast. Apparently, Trinidad James’ ex is on a tear against the rapper, because of his new chick. Mind you, it was never verified or confirmed that Keepa was his girl. Ever. But, I’m hearing rumors that she’s dissing in new song him due to his new girl. I don’t know. Trinidad is all up in GQ now. He ain’t thinking about this chick.

Mike Epps, George Lopez & Many More To Appear In New Richard Pryor Documentary
(AllHipHop News) If you are a fan of Mike Epps, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Chris Tucker, Eddie Murphy, or practically any other stand-up comedian from the last 30 years then there is one man who deserves a lot of credit for inspiring and providing a blueprint for the careers of those popular comics. The legendary Richard Pryor is probably your favorite comedian’s favorite comedian.
Epps, along with other famous comedy performers like Whoopi Goldberg, Bob Newhart, Mel Brooks, and George Lopez, will pay honor to Pryor in the new Showtime documentary Richard Pryor: Omit The Logic.
The feature was directed by Emmy winner Marina Zenovich who previously directed Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.
Richard Pryor’s widow, Jennifer Pryor, and his son, Richard Pryor Jr, were also involved in the project. Ms. Pryor served as a producer for the film along with Food Revolution‘s Roy Ackerman. Richard Jr. appears on camera to speak about his father.
Along with the celebrities’ personal reflections on Pryor’s role in shaping modern comedy, the documentary will also feature never-before-seen photos, concert footage, and television appearances of the icon.
Richard Pryor’s significant place in comedy history cannot be denied. The Emmy and 5-time Grammy Award winner was named the greatest stand-up comedian of all time by Comedy Central. He was also the first person to receive the Kennedy Center’s prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 1998.
It was Pryor’s candid and fearless comedic style that changed the way future comedians would approach the art of stand-up. Whether it was tackling his own personal demons like drug addiction or addressing social ills like racism and poverty, Pryor would openly touch on taboo subjects and include every part of his life into his routine.
He also helped establish that a black comedy actor in a leading role could be a major box office draw with his hit films Silver Streak, Stir Crazy, The Toy, and Brewster’s Millions.
His mainstream success led to a then remarkable $4 million contract to appear in Superman III which was a million dollars more than the salary of the movie’s star Christopher Reeve.
Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett, Jr is quoted saying that Pryor is “the single most reason for us making it in this business. He made it possible for [black entertainers] to be in this business on equal terms.”
Richard Pryor: Omit The Logic will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 23rd, and then its television debut will take place May 31st at 9 pm EST on Showtime.
You can watch a NSFW video of clips from some of Richard Pryor’s stand-up and listen to his classic 1982 comedy album Live On The Sunset Strip below.
