(AllHipHop News) Queens, New York Hip Hop star Nas is working on a new, untitled album to follow-up his Grammy nominated release, Life Is Good. In a revealing interview with the Associated Press, the rapper remained tight-lipped about the release, but said that the recording process has begun. “Yes. It has started. I must tell you. I can’t stop now. I’m in a great zone,” Nas said. Nas did discuss his thought process in regards to penning his lyrics after 12 studio albums. “Rule No. 1 is you can’t be fake. If you’re fake, you become a gimmick and you’re selling a gimmick,” the rapper explained. “A little gimmick is cool, this is entertainment. But when you base your stuff on mostly real stuff, you never run out of it because every day is a different adventure.”

Rapper Ludacris is getting back into the Hip Hop arena, after several years of pursuing other ventures. In addition to starring in the upcoming “Fast and The Furious 6” movie, Ludacris has been busy promoting his “Soul” line of headphones, which are sold through national retailers like Best Buy and Radio Shack. The success of the venture landed Luda on the Forbes list in 2012 at #10 with $12 million earned. Now, he is finally ready to devote his full attention to his highly anticipated album, Ludaversal. “I took a couple of years off doing some movies and everything but its good,” Ludacris told DJ Scream. “So this year we gonna drop that Ludaversal album, and then you know we got the ‘Fast and the Furious 6 ,’ that comes out Memorial Day Weekend…We just keeping the brand moving and trying to stay on that Forbes list.”

West Coast rapper YG has announced the release date for his new mixtape, titled “Just Re’d Up 2.” The new mixtape, which will hit the Internet on January 21, will feature artists like Ty $, Joe Moses and others. The first single from the mixtape is titled “Like This,” and will feature Pu$haz Ink and Ty $. Grammy nominated producer DJ Mustard handles the hosting duties for “Just Re’d Up 2.” Reps for YG said the rapper will be releasing a number of visuals for the mixtape, which will be supported a headlining tour this Spring.

Welcome to the day you decide how bad you really want your dreams to be accomplished! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to doing the impossible! I once heard that the impossible is what they call things when someone hasn’t figured out the solution yet and since you and I both know that it’s always too early to quit its time to finally do the impossible and make our dreams happen!

We all know the story of the two people… You know… The one that thinks he can and the one that thinks he can’t!! The latter has lost the fight before it has even begun so to step into the ring of dreams and aspirations would be a total waste of time! Know and understand that you are the master of your fate! Your thought process in the beginning of any feat is what will determine how long you will last and if you will accomplish what you have set forth! Whatever you want out of life… MAKE IT POSSIBLE!!! Stop acting as it you are not in control! Take back your power and do everything that others say can’t be done! Impossible is NOTHING!! Stop doubting yourself and make your life GREAT!! -Ash’Cash“We have more power than will; and it is often by way of excuse to ourselves that we fancy things are impossible.”
-Francois Duc De la Rochefoucauld

“What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”
-Anthony Robbins

“What you can’t comprehend within your thoughts will be impossible to make real within your world.”
-Steven Redhead

“The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.”
-Robert Schuller

“It always seems impossible until its done.”
-Nelson Mandela

“The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Game Trounces Step Father For Saying He Was A Stripper!

This is one of those instances where I cannot figure out what is real. That Game/ stripper rumor has been around for a LONG time. I can only assume that if he was a stripper something would come out definitive like when this happened:

But, nothing has come out definitely that The Game was a stripper. NADA. There have been photoshop pics and rumors, but nothing. Now, The Game is telling his side of the mess and he’s not holding back. He’s charged that this dude ain’t his step pop at all. Basically, he accuses the dude of being an ex-con looking for a pay out. The Game never denied he was a stripper though. Does it matter? I don’t think so.Hip-Hop these days pretty much accepts anybody, regardless of their past or present. I can’t wait for somebody to get exposed that they worked fries at McDonald’s or some BS. His defense will be, “Yeah? I world fries and got a m#### f**kin’ promotion to cash register. And, what f**k n****a!!!!!” Here are Game’s tweets.

(AllHipHop News) Nicki Minaj has announced a new long-term deal with Sears Holdings, that will bring her own fashion line to Kmart and the company’s affiliate website ShopYourWay.com.

Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj will team with Kmart and ShopYourWay.com to launch new clothing lines.

The rapper will launch a multi-department lifestyle brand, as well as an apparel and accessories collection, which will be available exclusively at Kmart and its website.

“I am so excited to work with this iconic, mass retailer and to bring affordable fashion to my beautiful barbz all across the U.S.,” Nicki Minaj said in a statement.

Sears Holdings is hoping that the affiliation with Adam Levine and Nicki Minaj will also drive traffic to their shopping destination, ShopYourWay.com, which is a free membership-based that offers deals, rewards and sweepstakes.

Under the terms of the agreement, both Adam Levine and Nicki Minaj will promote ShopYourWay.com to their tens of millions of combined fans and followers on social media networks.

“We are thrilled to align Kmart and Shop Your Way with two of America’s superstars,” said Imran Kooma, executive vice president and president of Marketing & Online at Sears Holdings. “We welcome Adam and Nicki into our world and look forward to capturing their energy and creativity on ShopYourWay.com and translating it into unique apparel, accessories and other merchandise.”

Both branded fashion lines from Adam Levine and Nicki Minaj are slated to be in select Kmart’s before the end of 2013.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Cassidy Teams Up With The GDs, Did Rick Ross Intervene?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Headlines

Movie: Bad Boys II

Cassidy just made a connection that probably just murdered this battle.

Cass said the fateful words: “We got the GDs in the building.”

Why he do that? Because he can, I guess. It has crossed over from Hip-Hop to something else.

He was down in North Carolina and he did an interview while he was flanked by apparent members of the GDs of that area. People are flashing gang signs and threatening Ross and them with no masks on. Cass said that he’s poppin now in the interview and that he’s got a lot of work. Basically, Ross and them know that they are helping Cass pop again. But, shouldn’t they at least try to lyrically stomp him out? I guess not.

RELATED: DEBATE: Should Meek Mill Respond To Cassidy?

At the end of the video, they go in on Meek too. Oh…yeah…nobody really wants these issues as rappers.

And the conclusion is here…

Just going to tell you what I’ve been hearing and it something that you already know. Meek isn’t going to reply to Cassidy. Nobody in MMG is going to have anything to say, per orders from Da BAWSE. From what I hear, Rick Ross has sent his directives to the crew that nobody is to engage lyrically with Cassidy. I can only assume its not in the best interest of business for him to do so. A bloody and long war is potentially damaging to the MMG brand. As you may recall, last year, Rick and 50 almost got into it. At the time, neither side wanted that beef. But, I think we see a shift as it comes closer to the time for 50 to drop and album, he’s going at MMG a bit more. Meek hit hard in 2012 and he’s MMG’s second biggest artist right now. They need him. My word.

See what happens when Gunplay in on house arrest? All hell breaks loose. FREE GUNPLAY!

RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: What MMG Rapper IS Chillin’ With A G-Unit Rapper?

Moving on….

I ignored this yesterday, but because it is so slow, I suppose its something to mention today in the interest of wasting time.

The people over at Celebrity Dirty Laundry decided to make up a rumor that Kim Kardashian is now faking her pregnancy with Kanye West. Now why would Kanye do something like that? I don’t think he would, but here is the theory. Jay-Z and Beyonce – who people insist faked Baby Blue – showed them how to do it. This just sounds like crap to me, especially for Kanye to rock with it.
