Philly Drug Kingpin Ace Capone Releases Tell-All, "Go Hard: The Takedown of Ace Capone"A
(AllHipHop News) Former Philadelphia drug kingpin Ace Capone is preparing to a new title titled “Go Hard: The Takedown of Ace Capone,” which will chronicle the rise and fall of his label, Take Down Records.
Ace Capone, born Alton Coles, was the CEO of the label until March of 2008, when he was convicted of running a $25 million cocaine operation, that distributed drugs in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
While he was on the streets, Take Down artists like Bugsy and Snake worked with Philly rappers like Freeway, Beanie Sigel and Tone Trump.
“This book was not written to glorify the game. It was written to reveal the aftermath of what happens as a result of being raised in an environment upon poor parenting skills, as well as being a key player in the streets,” Ace Capone told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “Although the book is solely for entertainment purposes for the readers, the overall gain and lesson of this book is to learn from our mistakes and to lead those that are mislead/misguided.”
“Go Hard” will be the first in a trilogy of books Ace Capone is writing from the Big Sandy Federal Correctional Institution, where he is currently serving life + 55 years.
The book is being released by Key To Life Publishing, a company that releases positive influential books.
In addition to the “Go Hard” series, the book imprint is planning the release of “Product of My Environment,” which will be an explanation guide for troubled youth and their parents.
A “Go Hard” book release party is slated for Friday, September 14 at Millcreek Tavern in Philadelphia.
Hip-Hop Rumors: MF Doom Sends A Look-A-Like Doom Bot To UK Show?
Peep what I saw on YaHeard.com! MF Doom seems to be up to his old tricks again!
On Saturday night (August 25th) MF Doom was due to make an appearance at hip-hop night, Livin’ Proof. Livin’ Proof are known to host initimate shows with some of the hottest hip-hop underground acts in the world. Unfortuntaely, Doom ended up sending a Doombot to the London show. Doom fans in the crowd were not that surprised that the rapper did not show. Rumours were circulating that he actually sent a Londoner to spin a set (which looked like the Doombot was playing an iPod as opposed to spinning a record!) Here’s an official statement released by Livin Proof:
To everyone who came down to our Livin’ DOOM event on Saturday and are questioning whether that was the real DOOM – we are in the same position as you. We had a legitimate contracted gig from his official booking agent and were in contact t…hroughout the booking process with his US management, and label. We were even talking and working with the promoters of DOOM’s forthcoming London live shows in October and November.
As far as we were concerned, the real DOOM was going to appear… we received news from DOOM’s management on the morning of the gig that DOOM wanted more money or he would not show up. This show was done and intended as a very special and intimate show which was not about making money but putting on an incredible party in a very small capacity venue. As we wanted the show to go ahead and was left to ransom to this extortionate request, we agreed this even though this was a breach of our agreed contract. In hindsight, we should have cancelled the show then and there…
At 9.30pm after we had open the doors, we were told by management that he would appear but would not DJ and was just going to sign autographs. We said this was unacceptable as we had agreed and paid for a DJ set… 10 minutes later we received a call saying that he would DJ… Or that’s what we were led to believe.
As many of the people in the venue noticed, there is a very strong possibility the person that was finally sent down was not DOOM himself.
Doing this show has taught us a lot about how some artists operate and how they feel they can treat others and, most importantly, their fans. As fans of DOOM ourselves, this has left a very sour taste in our mouth.
Anyone who has been to Livin’ Proof parties always know that we do our utmost to provide the best quality show and we are so sorry for anyone who came down and were disappointed by the DJ set from the artist supposedly meant to be DOOM.
We will do our utmost to make this up to anyone who purchased a ticket for this event. We paid the fee upfront to Daniel Dumile’s bank account and have the receipts to prove this. We will be seeking legal advice and are doing our best to get his show fee refunded from DOOM and his management and will then take suitable steps after this action.
All the best,
Livin’ Proof Crew.See More

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Stevie J A Woman Abuser?
Our friends over at The Grio.com have posted a scathing article calling Stevie J out as a woman abuser. No, not in the same sense as Memphitz, allegedly – but they say Stevie is emotionally abusive towards his baby mama, Mimi Faust and his girlfriend, Joseline Hernandez.
The article was written by domestic violence survivor and advocate, Sil Lai Abrams, and she believes that although Stevie has publicly never laid a hand on the women, he is abusive towards them in other ways. Check out an excerpt of her article below:
Chronic infidelity is a form of abuse, as is bullying, name calling, put downs, intimidation and repeated threats of abandonment. Love & Hip Hop, Basketball Wives and its reality sistren consistently portray female cast members as belligerent, sexually manipulative, emotionally unstable and physically violent.
Those who sit in judgment of Joseline and Mimi don’t understand that one of the consequences of abuse is its effect on a victim’s mental health. The reality is that, women who are battered suffer from a disproportionately higher rate of mental health disorders. Look, I’m not a psychologist, but could it be possible that some of the “ratchet” behavior we ridicule on L&HHA or other exploitive “reality” shows are actually just a symptom of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that often results from being abused? And if that’s the case, why are we laughing at women for having “normal” emotional responses to long-term trauma?
You can read the full article here. So, what do you think? Does Stevie J fall into the category of an emotionally abusive man?

B.o.B. Drops New Mobile Game "Strange Clouds"
(AllHipHop News) Rapper B.o.B is extending his brand into the world of gaming, with the new release “Strange Clouds: The Game.”
The “Strange Clouds” game was created by Atlantic Records and Glow Interactive and is available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Players travel through space, to learn the secrets of a new alien race, but must overcome a number of obstacles during the journey.
“Atlantic Records is always looking to provide fans with new and innovative ways of interacting with artist content,” said Paul Sinclair, SVP of Digital Media at Atlantic Records. “To that end, we
felt fans of such a creative and inventive artist like B.o.B would
really enjoy playing a casual game inspired by his hit album Strange Clouds.”
“Strange Clouds: The Game” also features three new original tracks featuring B.o.B and some of his collaborators.
“Our goal was to create a game experience for B.o.B that not only
meshed with the theme of his new album Strange Clouds, but one that would also appeal to a broader gaming audience,” added Ted
Kacandes, from GLOW Interactive. “We were extremely pleased with
B.o.B’s reaction to the game, considering he’s an avid gamer, and the feedback that we’ve received so far through the testing phase. We
hope the fans will enjoy playing B.o.B’s ‘Strange Clouds: The Game’ as
much as we enjoyed creating it.”
“Strange Clouds: The Game” is available exclusively at the
App Store today.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Lil' Wayne's "Dedication 4" Mixtape Being Pushed Back Again?
Today is the official release date for Lil’ Wayne and DJ Drama’s highly anticipated mixtape, Dedication 4, but after searching the net for it, we noticed that it is nowhere to be found. So what’s the deal?
Just a few days ago, Weezy assured fans that it was on its way by tweeting, “D4 aug-30.” But here we are and nothing. Last night, a fan tweeted DJ Drama asking if he should stay up for the release, and Drama tweeted back saying “naw, ya’ll get some rest…lol!”
This will be the second delay of the mixtape, which had an original release date of August 15. Weezy explained that delay by telling fans that he wanted to let 2 Chainz shine. Check out what he posted on his blog, Bread Over Bed, below:
“That’s my real, real, real good homeboy right there and I refuse to put any attention on me when the spotlight, everybody’s eyes, everybody’s attention and everybody’s focus should be on my ni–a 2 Chainz’s album, Based On A T.R.U. Story. So therefore I ain’t giving you b-tches Dedication 4 yet. I’ma give it to ya’ll in another week or so. But I ain’t gonna lie, I ain’t finished that mother—er. I’ve been skating and sh–, falling and sh– and all that type of sh–, but I’ll give it to you like, next week. Stop trippin’ pimp.”
I wonder what the hold up is now? We’ll keep an eye on Li’ Wayne’s Twitter and let you know if he speaks on the delay.

RECAP: Rock The Bells 2012 Rocks The Bay Area [Part 2]
Photo Credit: Shamezo Lumukanda/Magyombo.com for AllHipHop.com
Due to both stages rocking at the same time for most of the day (the main Rock The Bells stage and the RZA-endorsed “36 Chambers” stage), it’s all but impossible to catch every performance, but Day Two had an incredible share of highlights as well.
Dom Kennedy kicked it off, performing songs focused around his Yellow Album project that’s available to download. As a neat touch, he made sure to perform his “1 25” song as close to 1:25 PM as possible. The biggest reception he received, however, was for the Aaliyah-sampled “Gold Alpinas”.
Big Daddy Kane won the crowd over during his performance, throwing it back to classics and incorporating old-school jams that paid tribute to older artists. Jumping from the stage to party and rhyme with the crowd twice, he entertained all who listened with his multiple rhyme schemes and deliveries, with one even being over the instrumental for Jamie Foxx’s “Unpredictable.” He even delivers an old-school, B-Boy style dance breakdown at the end of the set with two dancers, and by the end of the set it was obvious that Big Daddy Kane truly believed in leaving it all on stage; there was no half-stepping anywhere during the performance.
Slick Rick followed, as he smoothly stepped out in all orange with his pimp cane, sporting a mini-jewelry store around his neck, wrist, and even on his microphone. To the delight of the crowd, he ran through several favorites before a fight in the crowd drew attention from the stage…until Slick noticed and promptly went into “Lick The Balls” to successfully pry the focus away from the negativity in the lower seats.
In between sets, DJ Chaos entertained the crowd by playing a few songs, and shifting his set to platform off the songs that got the biggest response (not surprisingly, they were mostly Tupac tracks like “California Love” and Dr. Dre tracks). MC Supernatural also essentially freestyled on stage for 30 minutes (winning the crowd over only after a few), then inviting people to bring things to him as he included them mid-rhyme; he even called out people in the crowd, with a big highlight being his acknowledgment of a handicapped fan (“He’s got a crutch, but I still got him dancing”). As the crowd realized what was happening, the feedback became almost instantaneous, and Supernatural ended to a standing ovation.
Surprisingly to some, one of the more high-energy acts was Common, as he came out with his live band and had several entertaining aspects to his show besides the music. From taking a phone call and transitioning it into “Testify”, to inviting a female on stage to perform a verse from “Come Close”, to actually stopping during “Universal Mind Control” to watch a B-Boy in the crowd, then deciding to one-up him on stage with his own moves, Common was a delight to watch. The crowd’s reaction to him was one of the more genuine reactions you could’ve witnessed, behind the aforementioned MC Supernatural session and the initial reception that DMX garnered the day before.
In addition, DJ Quik also made an appearance, performing some of his cuts on the Wu stage to a raucous crowd. Atmosphere used his somewhat off-putting comments to chain together his tracks and hold attention, but his set did nothing for the people that weren’t familiar with his music, unfortunately.
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony gave a high-energy performance, but seemed to be having microphone issues for most of the set. While the entire crew maintained their level of energy, Bizzy Bone by far was on another level as he skipped around the stage, never seeming to lose energy until he collapses on the stage during the outro to the Biggie-influenced “Notorious Thugs”, only to perform the rest of the outro while sitting. The crew also made sure to perform the songs they did with Tupac, as that was the underlying theme for winning the Bay Area crowd consistently.
There were several other acts worth mentioning, such as Murs, Fashawn, Immortal Technique, and more, but the main event for day two was by far the Nas performance that ended the festival. Performing singles from his Life Is Good LP, and mixing classics like “Rewind”, “Made You Look”, and “One Mic”, Nas delivered a performance that was worth seeing in person. Each song had an introduction for the most part, including the quotable he dropped after the performance of “Daughters”:
“I put my daughter on blast with that one. See if she acts up again… it’ll be a part two.”
Although he seem to run out of breath/energy at the end during his “One Mic” set, the overall performance was great to watch, due to Nas and the added vocals of Eddie Cole, relative of the late Nat King Cole.
Overall, the two-day festival went well, and although it was somewhat of an organized madhouse, it was one worth paying for as the Rock The Bells festivities continue to impress. We’ll be sure to give you the coverage as it makes its last stop in Holmdel, New Jersey at the end of this week.
EXCLUSIVE: Turk Receives High School Diploma, Just Before Release From Prison
(AllHipHop News) Incarcerated rapper Turk recently reached a milestone while behind bars, as he approaches his pending release date.
The rapper reached out to AllHipHop.com, to reveal that he recently received his high school diploma.
Turk, who’s been incarcerated the past nine years, recently graduated from high school courses at Forrest City, Arkansas.
The accomplishment comes just one month before Turk is finally released from the federal prison facility.
Turk has served nine years in prison for a weapons violation conviction over a wild shootout in 2005, with Memphis S.W.A.T. Team members.
AllHipHop.com broke the news back in July that Turk will be released on October 12, 2012.

Chino XL Announces 35-Track Release "RICANstruction: The Black Rosary"
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Chino XL has announced the release date for RICANstruction: The Black Rosary, his first album in over six years.
RICANstruction will be a double-CD release that is being released by Viper Records, the label that is owned by Immortal Technique.
Immortal Technique is one of the guests who appear on the 35-track effort, while rappers/artists like Travis Barker, Bun B, Tech N9ne and B Real round out the album.
According to Chino, RICANstruction is his most introspective work-to-date, delving into serious matters like the abuse he suffered as a child, failed relationships, suicide and his daughter’s battle with cancer.
“It’s a complete unbottling of a lot of stuff, things that I probably had suppressed,” Chino XL explained. “The human psyche has the ability and the power to do that in order to keep it functioning. I felt that it was time to let most of it out so I could move on and get past some of those issues. Whilst on tour last year, I realized how many people I connected to when I expressed a lot of those more painful, emotional songs. It seemed like a lot of folks really needed to hear them. I can learn from that to help them relate so they can also get past what they had going on. I realized that’s part of my journey.”
Chino hopes the main focus of RICANstruction will be what he has become famous for – complex lyrics and rhyme patterns.
“I believe that it’s my contribution to the art form, to art in general and to music,” Chino XL continued. “I feel like if you’re not going to try to raise the bar, then what are you doing it for? I try to do it because I feel like that’s part of my blessing and to share my blessing, I have to propel the art form and push the boundaries of language.”
RICANstruction: The Black Rosary is due in stores on September 25.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Beats By Dre Coming Out With An iPhone Killer?
Rumors are swirling that Beats Electronics, the company owned by Dr. Dre and Interscope big wig, Jimmy Iovine, are creating a smart phone that will rival the heralded iPhone – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Beats is allegedly going head-to-head with Apple’s product portfolio and plans to launch their own TV with Beats, a service similar to Apple TV, and “Daisy,” a service that will work similar to iTunes.
According to Boy Genius Report, Beats has partnered up with Samsung to create a “TV with Beats connect” that will work integrate seamlessly with their other products, similar to Apple products.
The new products are still in the planning stages, but the specs are done. Dr. Dre is getting that paper! I just hope they don’t charge an arm and a leg for the phone. Do you think any of Apple’s loyal customers will be making the switch to Beats?

Police Urge The Cancellation of DMX Show In New England Over Concerns Of Violence
(AllHipHop News) A concert featuring superstar rapper DMX has been canceled at the urging of police in New England, over concerns of violence.
DMX was supposed to hit the stage at Whites of Westport on September 7, but a number of incidents in the area moved police to urge Whites, as well as the local promoter Hurricane Promotions, to cancel the concert.
“This cancellation is very unfortunate. DMX loves to perform for his his fans and hates to have to reschedule his shows. However, we are still taking bookings and are hoping to create a national tour this Fall,” Domenick Nati, of Nati Celebrity Services told AllHipHop.com.
Two men were shot – one fatally – at a Providence nightclub over the weekend, while a show featuring Philadelphia rapper Cassidy ended in brawls early Friday morning (August 24).
“Local law enforcement strongly advised us against doing this,” White’s VP Chris Lafrance told The Herald News. “We’ll regroup, maybe find some acts that fit a little better for the venue.”
Hurricane Promotions’ Michael Herren said that he had a security plan in place for the DMX concert and didn’t expect any issues, despite the violence last weekend.
In addition to White’s own in-house security, ten state police were slated to be stationed around the venue, which can hold around 1,500 people.
Several hundred tickets had already been sold at $33 a-piece. Those fans who paid in advance can receive a full refund from Whites.
Houston, Texas To Celebrate Bun B Day with Food Drive On August 30th
(AllHipHop News) Port Arthur bred and renowned Houston, Texas rapper/professor Bun B is celebrating the anniversary of “Bun B Day” in Houston this weekend.
Heralded by Mayor Annise Parker for his commitment to community service, Bun B will be celebrating the honor bestowed upon him, with a special food drive for the Houston Food Bank on Thursday (August 30) from 4-7 p.m. at the Food Bank’s headquarters.
During the food drive, Bun B will meet and greet fans and thank them for making donations of non-perishable food items and money to help feed fellow Houston residents.
“To be honored with my own day by Mayor Parker and the Council is something I don’t take lightly,” Bun B told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “It is my hope that the day becomes synonymous with honor, good will, and helping one’s fellow-man. Partnering with the Houston Food Bank is the first step. Join us in our effort to begin a new tradition of unity in the human community on August 30!”
Bun B’s event is set to kick off just a few days before the start of Hunger Action Month, a push by food banks and hunger relief agencies across the country, with the aim of getting celebrities, school children and other members of society to help fight hunger in their community.
In Houston, the theme for the month is “Hunger Bites, Bites Back,” which has a double meaning.
The meaning behind the slogan stems from the fact that one, hunger is a bad thing; two, that it has a painful, biting effect on those who suffer from it; and that we as citizens can all “bite back,” by taking action to help those in need.
The Houston Food Bank is the nation’s largest sized Feeding America food bank and source of food for hunger relief charities in 18 southeast Texas counties.
They have been named one of 10 Top-Notch Charities across the nation by Charity Navigator for maintaining a network of nearly 500 food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers and other agencies, feeding a total of 137,000 people each week.
The Houston Food Bank also provides more than 50 million nutritious meals annually.
For those attending as volunteers, the Houston Food Bank has asked that all photos be Tweeted and information about the event hashtagged using #BunBHFB.
