Hip-Hop Rumors: Mini Beef With Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks?

I just happened to catch a tweet from Funky Flex and it seems like he’s got wind of a lil’ beef with Nicki Minaj and that babe Azealia Banks. Twitter is so funny to me. Anyway, Banksy said that she was supposed to be touring with Nicki and Nick Diesel sub-tweeted back. I guess Banks realized she was being sonned in public. She did some weird reply that really wasn’t beef, but since people are always watching, it because something that I took time out of my day to write about.

DAMN. We covered this a couple days ago, but Banksy kept on tweeting.

AHH Stray News: Rick Ross’ Week One Projections; Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) Films With Cee Lo and Adam Levine; Big Sean Talks New Album

(AllHipHop News) According to HDD, Maybach Music Group founder Rick Ross will easily be taking the #1 spot on the charts next week, with first-week estimates projecting sales of over 200,000 copies for the rapper’s fifth studio album, God Forgives, I Don’t.

God Forgives, I Don’t will likely earn Ross his fourth number one album, following his debut, Port Of Miami, in 2006, Trilla in 2008, and Deeper Than Rap in 2009. The album will be Def Jam’s third consecutive “Top 3” release, following Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange on July 10, and Nas’ Life Is Good on July 17.

Rapper/actor Yasiin Bey, a.k.a. Mos Def, is set to join the cast of the onscreen musical, Can A Song Save Your Life?, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The musician-heavy cast, which already includes rapper/singer Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, will put Yasiin Bey opposite actor Mark Ruffalo as his business partner in the film.

A synopsis of the John Carney-directed film, starring Ruffalo, Keira Knightley, and Hailee Steinfeld, says it “follows Knightley’s character who moves to New York to pursue her dreams of a singing career but finds herself all alone when she’s dumped by her boyfriend (Levine). A down-on-his luck record producer (Ruffalo) finds her singing in a local bar, and the two realize they may be each other’s last chance to turn their lives around.”

Can A Song Save Your Life? is in production now.

G.O.O.D. Music and Def Jam recording artist Big Sean has begun to spill the beans on a number of details regarding his currently untitled sophomore album. “We just got the first single,” Sean told Complex. “I’m not going to tell you who’s all on it. Dope ass artists on it, though, for sure.

“When I was playing it for Common, he was losing his mind. J. Cole was blown away,” he continued. “It really is elevating, taking it to a different level. I don’t even want to hype it up or talk too much like, ‘Yeah, my album is the sh*t!’ I just can’t wait for everyone to hear what I’ve been doing, what I’ve been cooking up.”

Regarding the type of production that listeners can expect when the album is released later this year, Big Sean said, “The person who is playing one of the biggest roles is my new producer I signed myself, KeY Wane. He produced my first single that’s about to come out of my album. KeY Wane is definitely an instrumental part. He kind of has like a vintage sound with a new spin on it, so I’m excited to have him on the album. Of course, No I.D. is playing a big *ss role in it with his beats, his input. Shout out to Young Chop from Chi-Town, bringing that new sound. We’re just young guys with that new sound.”

Non Rumors: Kanye West Reveals G.O.O.D. Music Art!

ITS ON THE WAY!

I don’t know what it means, but Kanye sure has an eye for art! Somehow or another, this is the cover for the album Cruel Summer, by G.O.O.D. Music! The summer is almost over so I really need them to get this damn thing out asap!

Any word on how G.O.O.D. the music will actually be? I’m hearing it is nothing less than a classic. OK, I’m lying. I didn’t hear any such thing. I do believe it will be quality thought.

How this relates to rap or summer is beyond me.

To date, RedOne has earned three GRAMMY Awards, been named BMI’s Songwriter of the year in 2010, Billboard magazine’s Producer of the Year and multiple awards from the Swedish Music Publishers Association.

For the third time in four years, AllHipHop.com and “The Next 48 Hours” crew have followed one of the most influential Hip-Hop artists of our time – Rick Ross – during his solo album release of God Forgives, I Don’t. Rick Ross has a very demanding schedule and to prove it, we compiled some snap shots of our time with Ross during his release week.

Day One was comprised of visits to BET’s “106 & Park”, with a surprise appearance from DJ Khaled who joined the Bawse on the show to help promote Ross’ album. Then Ross headed over to a private location to be interviewed by Hot 97’s Angie Martinez, in the midst of some lucky fans who got to listen to the album and watch Angie’s interview about Rick Ross’ latest LP release. The Bawse’s final location was MTV’s “RapFix” with Sway Calloway. There, he was joined with MMG’s Gunplay, and was surprised by a visit from the legendary Eric B!

Day Two saw even more action, as the day started out at Fuse, where MMG’s Stalley joined Ross’ busy day. Next stop was an in-store album signing at J&R Music and Computer World. After signing hundreds of autographs and posing with his numerous fans, Ross did a few interviews over at Sirius/XM Radio’s “Hip-Hop Nation”. Finally, our 48 hours with Rick Ross ended at his album release at Perfections nightclub in Queens, New York, where Ross was joined by MMG’s Wale, Meek Mill, Stalley, Gunplay, Torch, and Bad Boy/MMG’s French Montana, along with hundreds of fans just waiting to get a flick of The Bawse.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Bow Wow A Deadbeat Dad?

Rapper Bow Wow has been publicly outed as a deadbeat dad on Twitter by the sister of his child’s mother. You see, Bow Wow had a daughter last year with his girlfriend at the time, a woman named Joie. During her pregnancy, Bow Wow broke up with her and was spotted out with his ex-girlfriend, Angela Simmons, at the same time as Joie’s baby shower. Joie took to Twitter to allege that the baby was planned, and she had no idea why Bow Wow had turned on her.

Once little Shai was born, Bow Wow began posting photos of her on Twitter, and the public thought that he had a change of heart and was being a good dad to his daughter.

Not so, according to Joie’s sister. She accuses Bow Wow of only seeing his daughter three times – mind you, Shai is about a year and a half now. She also alleges that Bow Wow posts photos of Shai that Joie sends him, in an attempt to fool the public into thinking that he is actually spending time with his daughter. Check out her tweets below:

Bow Wow has not responded on Twitter, and neither has his mother Teresa. Hasn’t Bow Wow heard Nas'”Daughters”? If this is true, he needs to step up asap, and be a father to that precious little girl.

Exclusive Rumor: Hip-Hop Atlanta Reunion: Fights, Marriage Proposals And Flashings

The Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta Show GOT IT POPPIN’ yesterday at the reunion shoot, I’ve been told. Yep! They apparently got all sorts of ratchet up in there. I heard there were several fights. Most notable, Rasheeda versus K. Michelle, who was apparently knocked out. They had to do like Busta said, “Call the ambulance!” But, my sources told me that one of the women flashed her private parts to the audience in retaliation for derogatory remarks. Another one actually got into a fight with an audience member too. Last, but certainly not least, somebody proposes to somebody. Try as I did, the person would not give up the goods on who tried to hitch up. I can only imagine its Stevie J and his jawn Joseline.

Mariah Taps Meek Mill, Rick Ross For “Triumphant”; Discusses New LP

(AllHipHop News) Maybach Music artists Meek Mill and Rick Ross have landed a high-profile collaboration with Mariah Carey on the remix to her single “Triumphant (Get ’Em.)”

The pair are featured on the remix to the song, which is the debut single from Mariah’s upcoming 14th studio album. The remix continues the songstresses’ long standing tradition of remixing her singles with rappers.

Over the years, Mariah has featured artists like Ol Dirty Bastard, Bone, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Cam’ron and others on her singles.

“I’ve always had so much fun re-singing my songs for the club/dance mixes,” Mariah Carey said. “It gives me the freedom to sing as powerfully as I want and to rewrite the songs specifically for the genre.”

The track, which is Mariah Carey’s first single in over two years, will go on sale on iTunes on Tuesday, August 7.

The news of Mariah collaborating with Meek Mill and Rick Ross comes on the heels of her blockbuster announcement that she was serving as judge on the upcoming season of “American Idol.”

The deal, which pays Mariah Carey $18 million for one season, makes her the highest paid judge in TV history.
