UH OH! It looks like the house cleaning of the new year has already started!

Word on the street is that Azealia Banks has been dropped from her label home Interscope Records. It seems like they have not renewed some short-term contract for new recordings from the Harlem-bred 21-year-old. Looks like they just dropped her, straight up. Not sure of the source, but she was supposed to drop and album in the first quarter of this year and it seems like Broke With Expensive Taste will be on hold. She wasn’t getting any push anyway, save what she did herself on Twitter. None of her songs were hitting though, even though she was poppin’ with “212.”

On top of that Angel Haze just released a diss on Ms. Banks called “On The Edge,” as they have been going back and fort on Twitter. I didn’t even bother to write about the beef. Click here for the song if you want to hear it.

I listened to it….and wow. Angel Haze goes hard and so pretty!

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Lil Wayne will appeal a $2 million judgment levied against him in a court battle with film/television producer Quincy Jones III. The rapper was upset with his portrayal in the film, which included scenes of his drug use, and claimed that QD3 had failed to gain the proper permission to use music that was in featured in the documentary. QD3 counter sued claiming the lawsuit and bad publicity ruined the film, and in November, a jury awarded QD3 and his associated companies a $2,195,000 judgment. According to TMZ.com, Lil Wayne recently filed documents stating his intention to appeal the verdict. The rapper must submit an official appeal for the court to consider within the next 30 days.

Queens, New York rapper N.O.R.E. has revealed he’s taking on a new identity for his upcoming album Student of the Game. According to MTV news, N.O.R.E, born Victor Ortiz, is now going by the name P.A.P.I. for his new release. “I wanted to do something totally different for the album,” P.A.P.I. told MTV News today (January 4). “My mother doesn’t even call me Victor, my father has never called me Victor, my teachers didn’t even call me Victor. My name in Lefrak City and my name in Queens is actually P.A.P.I., it’s not even N.O.R.E.” P.A.P.I’s new video “Tadow” featuring 2 Chainz, Pusha-T and French Montana, will debut this Sunday as MTV Jams’ Jam of the Week.

Detroit rapper Young Calicoe lost a bid in court to have a felony dogfighting case filed against him dismissed today (January 4). A lawyer for Young Calicoe appeared in 36th District Court and claimed that prosecutors had no evidence against the rapper, who sparked controversy with a video that went viral. The video featured Young Calicoe showing off a stable of dogs, roosters and other animals for fighting. Other than the video, which has yet to be admitted as evidence, Young Calicoe’s lawyer claimed there was no proof that his client owned the dogs, nor committed any crimes. While the judge declined to rule on the video, she did say that the prosecution was still building a case against the rapper. The next court date is slated for February 28.

University of Arizona Introduces First Ever Hip-Hop Minor

(AllHipHop News) The University of Arizona recently announced that it has created a “Hip-Hop Concentration” in the College of Humanities’ minor for Africana Studies, reportedly the first of its kind for the institution.

According to the description of the minor and its objectives, the University of Arizona seeks to  “provide students with a solid introduction and broad understanding of the origins and developing of the forms of expression that make up Hip-Hop cultures throughout the world: Hip-Hop dance, rap music, graffiti/tagging, fashion, business, and film. The Minor introduces students to the main themes represented in Hip-Hop cultures: appropriation and defense of spaces, mixing of different cultures, migrations, multilingualism, race, class, gender, religions, sexuality, nationality, politics and the economy, and, the search for identity.”

“The UA is more open to new, challenging, ambitious, creative and even controversial topics than almost any other university in the world,” Alain-Philippe Durand, director of Africana Studies at the University of Arizona explained. “Here, you are not told to stay in your corner. It is the opposite: You are constantly pushed and encouraged to break boundaries.””

Courses for the minor include Rap, Culture and God, Hip-Hop Cinema, US & Francophone Hip-Hop Cultures, Blacks in Hollywood, Pan-African Dance Aesthetics and a host of other classes geared towards African-American studies and African-American History.

Ultimately the course seeks to give students the opportunity to investigate Hip-Hop’s cultural impact, which the University of Arizona acknowledges “severely impacted many elements of mainstream American culture to the extent that corporations have embraced hip-hop music and artists as a means of marketing goods to everyone.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kanye West Is NOT The Father?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

MAN, GTFOH!

MAN…BISH YOU WASN’T WITH ME SHOOTING IN THE KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The state of California is trying to disrespect my boy KanYEEZY! They are trying to say that by their MANMADE BS law that he’s not the father of Kim Kardashian’s child! In fact, they are suggesting that the daddy is Kim’s husband! Check out this report from VIBE!

Kanye West is not the father, at least according to California State Law.

Under California’s Family Code, estranged husband Kris Humphries is the ‘presumed’ dad to Kim Kardashian’s baby, TMZ reports. The Code presumes a man is the natural father of a child if “he is or has been married to the mother, and if the baby is born during the marriage or within 300 days after death, annulment, declaration of invalidity, divorce or after a judgment of separation is entered by the court.”

After a mere 72 days of marriage, the two called it quits only for Kimmy to fall head over heels for longtime friend ‘Ye. To strain matters further, the made-for-TV Humphries-Kardashian divorce still hasn’t been officially processed.
But for all KimYe naysayers, the fetus still biologically belongs to the G.O.O.D. Music rapper, who announced that the reality starlet was his baby mama at last week’s gig in Atlantic City. Kim just needs to present “clear and convincing evidence” in the form of a DNA test to the court to ensure that Yeezy is her baby daddy.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Could Manny Pacquiao Have Parkinson’s?

The end may really be coming for Pac Man! The word in the sports game is that he may became a victim of Parkinson’s disease. Check out the report on ESPN.

The possibility of retirement for Manny Pacquiao was raised on Thursday after neurologist Dr Rustico Jimenez speculated as to whether the Filipino was showing the first signs of Parkinson’s.
According to reports Jimenez, president of the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines, said he was concerned about the health of the fighter, who suffered a brutal knockout at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez at the end of 2012.
Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, which affects Pacquiao’s world renowned coach Freddie Roach. Dr Jimenez is concerned he can see the first signs now creeping into the physiology of the 34-year-old welterweight.

“Even though his reflexes are quick, I noticed the movement – it’s just another view, my personal view – but it seems like there are early signs,” Jimenez told radio dzMM.
