(AllHipHop News) The battle between Meek Mill and Cassidy continues to rage on, through social networks.

Both rappers are utilizing Twitter and Instagram to send insults directly to each other, as been customary since the beginning of their feud.

The Philadelphia-based rappers are locked in a dispute, after a $100,000 battle challenge was offered up by Meek Mill.

Cassidy accepted the offer and since then, the two men have been engaged in a war of words that culminated in the release of Cassidy’s track “Me Myself and iPhone,” and Meek Mill’s track “Repo.”

Today, Cassidy replied to the diss record, which was released late yesterday evening (December 27).

Not to be outdone, Meek Mill took to his Instagram and posted several unflattering Photoshopped pictures of Cassidy.

(AllHipHop News) Legendary music company Sugarhill Music is going after Warner-Chappell Music, over a classic Hip-Hop track created by rap group Naughty By Nature.

Sugarhill Music Publishing recently filed a lawsuit against Warner-Chappell Music in United States District Court, Southern District of New York.

The lawsuit stems from the track “Uptown Anthem,” which was released in 1991 by Naughty By Nature.

According to the lawsuit, Warner-Chappell Music is co-owner in the copyright of the track “Uptown Anthem.”

At the heart of the lawsuit is the three-syllable phrase “we gonna,” originally contained on a verse from the track “That’s The Joint,” by Funky 4 Plus 1.

According to the lawsuit, “Uptown Anthem” samples the three words “we gonna” a total of 41 times, as the song’s hook.

The lawsuit claims that “Uptown Anthem” is being commercially exploited by Warner-Chappell Music and is infringing on the original copyright, owned by Sugarhill Music.

Sugarhill Music seeks a full accounting of the profits made from “Uptown Anthem,” in addition to damages that may have been “sustained as a consequence of defendants infringement of plaintiffs copyright and to account for and pay to plaintiff all gains, profits and advantages derived by defendants from such infringement of plaintiffs copyright.”

Naughty By Nature is not named in the lawsuit.

Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics.

After laying claim to a hit song and title (“YOLO” or “You Only Live Once”), Canadian rap sensation Drake argues that companies (like Walgreen’s and Macy’s) who talk about only living once should pay him for using the phrase!

Trademarking gone wild? Or, a legitimate claim? We’re not sure, but Andre always has a unique take! YOLO? Now pay Drake. With Drake’s money.

(AllHipHop News) Miami Hip-Hop star Rick Ross has announced the date he will reveal the title of his next album. Rick Ross is currently putting the finishing touches on his sixth studio album, the follow-up to last year’s Gold selling effort, God Forgives, I Don’t. The rapper revealed that he will ring in the New Year, by releasing the name of his album title on January 1.

Kat Stacks spent the better part of last week celebrating the news of her release from federal detainment, but there has been a bump in the road to her eventual freedom. The infamous internet personality has been in prison since November of 2010, over her immigration status, but last week, a judge dropped the case against Kat Stacks. Yesterday (December 26), Kat Stacks took to Twitter to complain about her release being delayed, since a judge was not around to sign the order. “How @wwwicegov is going to break my family’s heart by claiming to be released on Wednesday but never did,” Kat Stacks tweeted. “Stop playing games with people’s lives @wwwicegov i am a human being not a toy.” Kat Stacks is expected to be released in the very near future.

Cee Lo Green recently announced a new partnership with eDiets.com, that will see the rapper acting as a brand ambassador. Cee Lo will endorse eDiets.com in a new marketing plan aimed at encouraging people to lose weight. “I’ve personally committed to making health a habit it in the New Year,” Cee Lo Green stated. “When I decided to make this commitment to myself, I needed a program that would work with my nonstop lifestyle and eDiets.com has made it easy and convenient to make health a priority between recording new music, constant traveling and being a father.” Yesterday, Cee Lo’s tour rider hit the Internet, revealing the rapper’s current diet on the road. The rapper requires rib eye steaks, chicken, fish, 24 jumbo shrimp, mashed potatoes, gravy, baked lobster, macaroni and cheese, baked sweet potato pie and peach cobbler.

(AllHipHop News) Since his departure from Trick Daddy’s label, rising rapper Iceberg is not resting on his laurels.

The budding rapper is expanding his own label, Live House in addition to working on a new mixtape titled “Rise to Power.”

“I just been grinding, I just put out like four videos in four weeks, literally every monday for the last four weeks I been dropping a video,” Iceberg told AllHipHop.com. “I’m pushing my website BillionBerg.com and pushing the new company Live House. Getting ready for the first quarter of 2013.”

According to Berg, the Live House movement is more than just a record label, consisting of a management company, as well as a merchandising business.

“It’s everything, it’s the click. I’m going to join another entity but I just got out of my last situation and I just got free. After I got out of my situation [deal with Trick Daddy] it was hindering me from joining a new situation. I started my own situation.”

This year, the rapper landed features with artists like Trina, Ace Hood, DJ Khaled, Gunplay and other Miami acts and he will continue his momentum going into the new year.

In 2013, Iceberg will take full advantage of his newfound freedom, by exploring his creativity with a new mixtape titled “Rise to Power.”

“It feels damn good. It feels like I’m working toward something as far as a free agent,” Iceberg stated. “A lot of the songs I dropped, I was dropping to try and get shows and get hot in venues to make that show money, because that’s the only means of income I could of had as far as rap music. Now it’s all about ‘Rise to Power.'”

Look out for ‘Rise to Power’ in early 2013.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Should Macy’s And Walgreen’s Pay Drake For YOLO Gear?

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


YOLO.

So, before we get started: a bit of history about YOLO.

The earliest known use of the acronym is attributed to Adam Mesh from the third season of the NBC reality show The Average Joe. Mesh launched the “You Only Live Once” (YOLO) clothing line on March 20th, 2004. Since then, a lumber of people have used the phrase “YOLO,”including The Strokes, nightclubs and others. In 2011, Drake did songs called “Lord Known” and “The Motto,” where they extolled the virtues of YOLO. And America followed, in particular, the impressionable young. In fact, an Ontario man tweeted “Yolo” while driving drunk. He died as well as the other four passengers in the car. At that point, we thought YOLO was pretty much dead.

NOW.

Drake saw some merch in WalGreen’s and decided he deserves a cut of the action because of the tremendous popularity of the song he wrote with Lil Wayne. He tweeted: “Walgreens….you gotta either chill or cut the cheque, Macy’s…same goes for you.” Cheque….lol.

What do you think?
