Love & Hip Hop’s Winter Ramos Preps To Rock Music Industry with Tell-All Book
(AllHipHop News) Former assistant to hip-hop superstars, Winter Ramos revealed during last night’s (Janurary 14th) episode of Love & Hip Hop plans to put her experiences in the music business to print with a tell-all book, Game Over: My Love for Hip Hop. During a discussion with her co-star and former radio personality Jen “The Pen” Bayer, Ramos went through a few names that could potentially be included in her book:
“I’ve worked with Puff Daddy, Biggie Smalls, Junior Mafia, DMX, Eve, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Irv Gotti….I’ve dated these guys. I’ve slept with them. I’ve worked for them. I know the girlfriend. I know the baby mother. I know the wife. I even know the side chick.”
In the episode, Ramos stated her “friend”, the raspy MC himself, Jadakiss was the one who urged her to write the memoir. The Amazon book description labels Game Over as a “cautionary tale” for young women wanting to enter the music business:
“Winter Ramos, one of the new faces of VH1’s#### reality television show, Love and Hip Hop New York Season 3 delivers a brazen and unabashed memoir of her life in the world of hip hop. In Game Over, Winter puts all of her emotions on the page leaving no experience, emotional abuse, or former lover uncovered. From her days as assistant to rapper, Fabolous and friend to Jada Kiss, to appearing on Love and Hip Hop and being Creative Costume Designer for Flavor unit Films, Winter delivers a tell-all book on her famous ex-lovers and experiences in the music industry. As the chick that was always in the mix and cool with everyone, Winter was privy to the cray beyond the videos, private flights, and limos that the cameras caught for us. Her reality and theirs was no game. Game Over is Winter’s cautionary tale for the next generation of young women who believe that the fabulous lives of celebrities unveiled in blogs and on reality television shows are all FIRE! Stay tuned, because this GAME is about to get real.”
Ramos’ tale is the latest addition in an expanding list of hip hop tell-all books whose informational value varies from revelatory to purely novelty. In 2007, Nas’ ex-girlfriend, Carmen Bryan’s memoir, It’s No Secret more so supplemented the veracity of infidelity claims made by Jay-Z in his iconic battle with Nas than shed new information. However, Source Magazine Editor-In-Chief Kim Osario’s 2008 Straight From The Source revealed an omitted Camron diss on 50 Cent’s “Back Down” song from his 2003 debut album, Get Rich Or Die Trying. Even after admitting to fabricating the majority of her industry shaking Confessions of a Video Vixen, Karrine “Superhead” Steffans is penning a tell-all book about her relationship with Lil Wayne entitled How To Make Love To A Martian which potentially could include details on the former couple’s previous pregnancy.
Amazon has Game Over: My Love for Hip Hop slated for an April 3rd release.

Rhymefest Reunited With Father After 24 Years
(AllHipHop News) Chicago rapper Rhymefest has reunited with his father, after 24 years of being apart.
Rhymefest, born Che Smith, last saw his father when he was 11 years old.
The pair was reunited after Rhymefest bought a house that was being sold by other family members, on Chicago’s West side.
Once he was settled in, Rhymefest reached out to an uncle who had a friend, who said he had located his estranged father.
“It was not until I hugged him that I realized how much I missed having a dad around,” Rhymefest said.
According to Rhymefest’s father Brian Tillman, he lost track of his son due to his drinking problem, which he is currently receiving treatment for.
“I have a drinking problem. I can admit that now. It has prevented me from doing a lot of things, including being a part of his life,” Tillman said. “I am getting treatment for my drinking and developing a relationship with my two grandkids.”
Rhymefest said he would do what he could to help his father, who is still living in the homeless shelter.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Juelz Turn Down Lil Wayne’s Music?
This is not to start any sort of beef, because there absolutely ain’t no beef between Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana. But I heard a crazy rumor and never really followed up. You know, recently Juelz announced that Weezy was the EP on his upcoming album.
Juelz Santana Explains Lil Wayne’s Role as Executive Producer On New Album
Anyway, I am not all in Juelz’s personal life, but maybe he was going through something. I heard Wayne sent him an album worth of tracks for him to rap on and get that album poppin’! But, I heard that Juelz never rapped on a thing and those songs became songs for other people. But, basically Juelz Santana couldn’t bring himself to do it. Some folks told me that he was creatively not inspired to work on this project this way. I feel it would have been a great way for him to come back in the mix a few years ago.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.

Opposites Attract: 5 Memorable Hip-Hop and Blue Eye Collabos
This week, the internet was buzzing with anticipation for Justin Timbelake’s first new song in years. The added bonus: it featured Jay-Z. Timberlake has always received kudos for incorporating hip-hop and soul into his music. His newest album is executive produced solely by Timbaland. Collaborations like these is what music great.
What if we still lived in a world where music was categorized as “black” or “white” people music? Thank goodness times have changed. The first major instance of a hip-hop and white music mash up was revolutionary.
The year was 1986, RUN-DMC dropped Raising Hell and “Walk This Way” was an instant hit. Who could forget the insane guitar intro from RUN-DMC’s “Walk this Way”? The melting pot of hip-hop and rock blended into one dope song, and led many others to join in collaborating with “blue-eyed” musical acts to make memorable tunes.
Allhiphop looks at some other memorable collaborations with our ivory counterparts.
Kanye West – “Heard ‘Em Say” ft. Adam Levine
“Heard Em Say” was the third single off Kanye West’s Late Registration. Kanye is known to stretch the musical boundaries and this collaboration was no different. As the lead of Maroon 5, Levine became the new “it” white guy of 2005.
Lil Wayne – “Shooter” ft. Robin Thicke
In 2006, Robin Thicke released his second album The Evolution of Robin Thicke. The album was produced largely by Pharrell William but on it was a little song that sounded more alternative rock than the soul Thicke was pushing for. Luck would have it, Lil Wayne heard the song “Shooter” and grabbed it up for his album Tha Carter III. Thicke would go on to lend his velvety vocals to everyone from Snoop, R. Kelly, Nicki Minaj, and Rick Ross.
Eve – “Let Me Blow Your Mind” ft. Gwen Stefani
Winning MTV’s “Best Female Video” for 2001, the “pitbull” in a skirt went a different route on her second album Scorpion teaming up with No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani. This made Eve a household name and sent her to L.A to pursue acting and a clothing line.
Jay-Z-“Numb/Encore” ft. Linkin Park
Jay-Z is a trendsetter on so many levels. First the MTV Unplugged: Jay-Z, then he does a collaboration albumwith rockers Linkin Park for Collision Course.
Nelly-“Over and Over” ft. Tim McGraw
Grammy-award winning hip-hop artist Nelly takes country music and hip-hop fused it together in the most unlikely connection, creating a cross over hit.
What’s your favorite cross colored collaboration?
EXCLUSIVE: Oxygen Rep Says Rapper’s Show “All My Babies’ Mamas” Still In Development
(AllHipHop News) A representative for Oxygen TV has responded to recent reports that the controversial show “All My Babies’ Mamas” will be getting the axe.
The show, which centers around Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo, his 10 babies mothers and their 11 children, has been a lightning rod for controversy since it was announced in December.
Despite a petition that has received well over 40,000 signatures and the threat of a boycott from the Parents Television Council, a representative for Oxygen told AllHipHop.com exclusively that the show is still in development.
“This rumor is simply untrue. The project remains in early development,” an Oxygen rep told AllHipHop.com.
In recent days, reports have surfaced that NBC/Oxygen would bow to demands that the show be canceled.
As of press time, “All My Babies’ Mamas” is slated for a spring debut.
Non Hip-Hop Rumors: Was The Sandy Hook Massacre Staged? With Actors? A Cover-up?
OK, I am not going to talk too much about this, because it is definitely not my John Forte. So, we all know the tragic events that happened at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT. Conspiracy theorists are going CRAZY over the assertion that the situation was massaged into a cacophony of lies and misinformation. That’s right, m#### f**kas, I said cacophony! Some of the stuff, we have been saying since day one: There was more than one gunman. But, then they are talking that there is more to even that! They are saying that there are PAID ACTORS on TV and conducting interviews. In real life, there are professional crisis actors and these pe. In one video, a father of a slain CHILD is seen at a press conference laughing until he walks to a podium to speak. Other reports show that folks have almost identical twins in other parts of the nation, looking JUST like Sandy Hook victims. And, there are even others that have recently suffered one of the worst tragedies but they shed no tears. I don’t. I cannot call it, folks, because I am just a messenger of sorts.
OH, and why?
GUNPLAY said this…this is all about GUN CONTROL, conspiracy mavens say! To take away the guns and get this NWO thing poppin like popcorn. I don’t think the kids in the hood dying was going to help spark outrage at all.
So, peep this report from Current TV and then check out the videos after this and let me know what you think.
REPORT: Remarkable Resemblance Of Sandy Hook Victims And Professional Crisis Actors
Peep these crazy videos!
Dude was smiling and joking until he got to the podium. I’m not one to tell people how to grieve but damn.
This video also runs down the conspiracy theory too.
Maybe Gunplay ain’t so crazy!
Or maybe he’s so crazy, he’s going to have a drug-induced heart attack in his sleep!

Uncle Luke Featured on HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel
(AllHipHop News) Legendary Miami rapper and community activist Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell will be featured on HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.”
The season premiere of the award-winning series examines how Uncle Luke has used his notoriety as a member of the rap group 2 Live Crew to better his community of Liberty City through youth football programs.
After a highly publicized battle with the Supreme Court over what was perceived by much of the 1990’s media as raunchy or obscene music, Uncle Luke and 2 Live Crew won their case, which thrust them into mainstream stardom and popularity.
“Don’t miss this tale of an outrageous rapper turned role model,” the narrative says.
HBO will air the season premiere episode January 22, 2013 @ 10PM ET/PT.

Hip-Hop Rumors: A Baby For Diddy And Cassie?
There are a a few rumors surrounding Cassie and Diddy. The first as you know, is that they are shopping for a house together. That was last week though.
But there are new rumors bubbling. Just as the headline says, I’m hearing the pair are looking to have a kid. They reportedly want to ease into the lock down phase of life. Some have suggested that it is Cassie the really wants to have the kid with Diddy, but maybe The Bad Boy Supreme has had a change of heart. You know there are other rumors that they are planning to get married soon. There are other rumors that perhaps Diddy is still tapping Kim Porter’s well, but who cares? Cassie has won!
I wish she was just a bit more popular…she she would be on the cover of GQ or Complex.
