Lil' Kim tweet

Oh, what a difference a week makes! Papers must have really done some groveling, because the Queen Bee has taken him back, and may have even gotten secretly married to him! Rhymes with Snitch snapped a screen shot of the tweets from both Lil’ Kim and Papers addressing the other as their spouse. Check it out below:

Wow, did dude really tattoo Lil’ Kim’s government on his arm? I hope this “marriage” thing works out for the both of them. If not, Papers is going to have a hard time covering that tattoo up. Congratulations to the Queen Bee!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Game’s “Jesus Piece” Going To Hit No. 1 or What?

So much for all of those publicity stunts. From the looks of the first week sales projections, Game’s new album, Jesus Piece, will limp in with just 85-95K albums sold in its debut week. But is that really considered a dud? Last year, Game’s album R.E.D. sold 98K in its first week, making it his fourth album to debut at number one. So these numbers are actually on par with what he sold first week last year, and that was enough to bring him in at number one. Unfortunately, Taylor Swift’s album, RED, is back at number one this week, after falling to number two behind Alicia Keys’ Girl On Fire.

Does Game have what it takes to make Jesus Piece his fifth number one album in a row?

Hip-Hop Rumor: Cam’ron And Chris Brown Clown Kanye West’s Mini Skirt!

Did you all catch Yeezy rocking a black leather skirt on the Hurricane Sandy Relief concert the other night? Now, Kanye has been rocking skirts on tour for a few years, so this is nothing new, but most of America has never seen him rocking the feminine frock, until the nationally televised relief concert. The skirt set Twitter ablaze, and even though Kanye thinks the skirts are “fashion forward” – most of America just doesn’t agree.

Outspoken rapper Cam’ron went in on Yeezy’s choice of wardrobe, and even threatened to block anyone who didn’t agree with him. Check out his tweet below slamming Yeezy’s outfit:

Cam wasn’t the only one to voice his dislike for the outfit. Chris Brown also commented on Yeezy’s fashion choice. Blogger Nicole Bitchie posted a photo of Yeezy, Diddy, and actor Vin Diesel all in skirts. Chris Brown was not feeling the look and clowned all three, even suggesting that “n*ggas gonna be wearing heels next!” Check out the photo along with Chris’ comment below:

Oh man, Breezy took it there. Do you think the skirt look on men will catch on? GOD help us if it does! Hide your sons!!!

Side note – Yeezy’s skirt has a Twitter now!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Do The Black Hollywood Elite Oppose Django?

I’ve heard from a number of sources that the elite in Black Hollywood are not feeling “Django: Unchained,” the new movie that stars Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Well, I won’t say names, but a number of Black actors were approached to be in it, but refused. The one person that definitely didn’t agree with it was Will Smith. He flat out said no. There’s another one in Red Tails-actor Nate Parker, who is rumored to be dead set against “Django,” which is a product of Quentin Tarantino.  Then there are a bunch of others that are just not saying a lot.

This reminds me of the controversy around “Hustle & Flow.” Terrance Howard got a lot of props for that movie, but when he was going to perform “Its Hard Out Here For A Pimp” at the Oscars, the Black Hollywood Elite said, “You better not or ELSE!” And he didn’t. As history would tell it, Three Six Mafia did perform and they haven’t been the same since.

Django comes out on Christmas day and Foxx and Kerry are already nominated for Golden Globe Awards. Interesting. We’ll see how it goes.

Here is the Rick Ross song from the “Django” soundtrack. He’s eligible for an Oscar for this song! I think RZA is too.

Illseed, Out.

South By South Bronx Festival to Celebrate Rap’s Cultural Birthplace

(AllHipHop News) Legends and lore about The Bronx and its role in birthing Hip-Hop are the themes of this weekend’s “South By South Bronx” Music Festival.

It was in New York’s Bronx borough in August 1973 where DJ Kool Herc is credited with founding the culture and musical genre known today as Hip-Hop.

To that end, Kool Herc and other legends of rap, such as DJ Grand Wizard Theodore, Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers, and Universal Zulu Nation founder, Afrika Bambaata, will be on-hand to receive kudos for their longtime influences.

The two-day event, scheduled for Friday from 4-6PM and Saturday from 1-5PM at Hostos Community College, borrows part of its name from the annual South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. YC_The_CynicLike its larger, famed namesake festival, organizers promise concert performances from both legends and underground newcomers such as YC the Cynic. There will also be workshops on topics from “Latinos in Hip-Hop” to “Hip-Hop and Activism” for those who want to pay homage beyond the music. Tickets to South By South Bronx are free but must be reserved in advance. Learn more at sxsbx.org. Source: NY Daily News
