You are here for a purpose and whether it takes a day, a month or a year, you will fulfill that purpose as long as you don’t give up. There are people who are praying for your downfall, but there are more people routing for your success!

Stay strong and concentrate on the task at hand! No matter what happens, you only fail when you give up! Never give up!! Everything that you want out of life is already yours and is waiting for you to claim it!! The only thing that can stop you is death, so as long as you have breath in your body, wake up everyday with the determination to succeed!! Those who really want it make it happen those who don’t make excuses! Don’t make excuses! Take what you deserve and never stop until you get enough!

Eminem’s Grammy-Winning Album “Recovery” Goes 4x Platinum

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: NewsFebruary 3, 2012

(AllHipHop News) 2011’s Grammy Award-winning album by Eminem, Recovery, was officially certified 4x platinum yesterday (February 2).

Recovery exploded on the charts in June of 2010 when it sold over 750,000 copies in its first week.

The album, which was executive produced by Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Paul Rosenberg, contained a wide range of tracks that made their way across both Urban and Pop radio for most of 2010 and 2011 off of the sound and success of the hit singles “Not Afraid,” the Rihanna-assisted “Love The Way You Lie,” and “No Love” which featured Lil Wayne.

In 2011, Eminem released Hell: The Sequel, a collaborative album between himself and Royce Da 5’9″. The two went under the monikers of Bad and Evil for the album, playing off of their acclaimed song from Em’s 1999 album The Slim Shady LP, which featured Royce on the song “Bad Meets Evil,” for which the newly released album was named.

Eminem is currently helping to put some finishing touches on the upcoming Slaughterhouse album, which is scheduled for release this May, as well as his own currently untitled ninth studio album.

EXCLUSIVE: Rap Legend Erick Sermon’s Journey to a Heart Attack and Back

By: seandrasimsCategory: FeaturesFebruary 2, 2012

The second week of November 2011 was almost surreal. The Hip-Hop community and much of the entertainment world was already reeling over the sudden, untimely death of rap legend Heavy D at age 44 on November 8. Then on the 12th of the month, a tweet went out from DJ Scratch that reverberated across the Internet with an unthinkable message:

“Erick Sermon had a heart attack today.”

Hip-Hop newsrooms scrambled to find out details, while A-list celebrities began to call around to each other to figure out how to reach Sermon. After Heavy D’s passing just days before, all anyone seemed to want to know was, ‘Is Erick going to make it?’ Scratch’s tweet then reassured:

“He’s ok, but still send your prayers.”

For some, a catalog of musical memories was undoubtedly streaming through their minds that day. Sermon is, after all, one of the pioneers that helped transform rap music from a fad in the ‘hoods of America into a worldwide cultural phenomenon. Alongside rap partner Parrish Smith, he created the group EPMD, a member of rap’s royal Def Squad/Hit Squad, that also includes Redman, Keith Murray, and others. Over time, Sermon also crafted a reputation for being one of the top producers in rap and R&B, with a client list that is still unmatched to this day. So, the thought of losing him and Heavy D in the same week was devastating.

For others, the second week of November served as a tragic eye-opener. Before then, we all thought, ‘People aren’t supposed to have heart attacks or die in their early 40s,’ especially in the prime of their lives as artists, family men, and entrepreneurs. But to the surprise of many – especially 42-year-old Erick Sermon – the unthinkable did happen.

AllHipHop.com spent the afternoon with an eager, healthy-looking Erick Sermon this week to hear firsthand about his three-month road to recovery – and why his heart attack means you don’t have to have one, too:

Check back over the coming days for more of AllHipHop.com’s exclusive interview with Erick Sermon, where he describes his mission to school the youth on the (true) definition of “Hip-Hop.“

The track has already started running in promotional spots promoting Wrestlemania XXVIII.

“The reaction to ‘Invincible’ has been amazing,” Machine Gun Kelly told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “First, Verizon picked it to run in their campaign and now it’s an official Wrestlemania song. It’s crazy.

Additionally, John Cena will walk into the ring to “Invincible” during his main event showdown against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, during the famous PPV event.

Kanye West Set to Shoot New Short Film in Middle East This March

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: NewsFebruary 2, 2012

(AllHipHop News) Rapper, producer, and all around entrepreneur Kanye West will be heading to the Middle East next month to shoot a new short film according to a recent report from The New York Observer.

West reportedly sent representatives to scout locations in the Persian Gulf, including Abu Dahbi, Dubai, and Doha Qatar, for the short which is scheduled to film in March and will be presented in a similar manner to 2010’s “Runaway” from his Grammy-nominated album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

According to the Observer, “A number of local municipal officials and film companies are said to be engaged in what is characterized as a heated bidding war for the contracts involved in bringing Mr. West’s vision to life.”

One source involved in the talks stated, “In Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha all of the film initiatives are government controlled. A bidding war is going on between various government entities and private investors to fund the film. There’s pretty intense rivalry here between Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar. They all want to claim the film as their own and take credit for generating the publicity.” Currently, details on the plot of the short and the shoot itself are being kept under wraps, even to those who are closely involved.

“Mr. West’s creative team is moving to the region for a few weeks, as part of an effort to create an “authentic” depiction of the culture. They plan to utilize local talent and production crews, and are said to be eager to portray the locales and their cultures in a positive light,” the source added.

(Week Ending On 1/31/12)

Drake held it down for Hip-Hop releases in the Top 10 with his sophomore album Take Care claiming the #9 spot and selling 26, 433 copies. Along with the platinum album, Drake’s new single “The Motto” which features Lil Wayne, has just gone platinum as well, securing the #16 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Will Jay-Z and Beyonce Be Partying with Diddy During the Grammy’s?

By: ginatorres27Category: RumorsFebruary 2, 2012

Diddy is hosting a huge post-Grammy party on February 12 at the Playboy Mansion, and The Insider is reporting that Jay-Z and Beyonce are expected to attend! This will be their first public appearance together since the birth of Blue Ivy Carter. I’m anxious to see if Beyonce’s body is bouncing back like her little sis Solange’s did, or if she’s going to be even curvier than before.

Last week, rumors were circulating that a ticket to the party came with a $50,000 price tag! Those with that type of money to burn will party in the ‘Monster Cabana’ which comes with “security, privacy, and exclusivity at this event.” The ticket also comes with 20 VIP admissions and the cabana can hold up to 30 people. And, to top it off, those who buy the package also receive dinner, open bar, free bottle service all night long, and “fifteen dedicated female promotional models.” Snazzy!

In Touch Weekly is reporting that Diddy is trying to make the party more accessible for the masses by offering lower-priced tickets, which retail for $1,500 and cover general admission. Other tickets are available for $2,500, $7,500, $15,000, and $25,000.

Don’t worry, not all of this money is going into Diddy’s pockets! The party is being billed as a fundraiser for the AngelWish.org and will be honoring Hugh Hefner as “Humanitarian of the Year.”

This party is sure to be star-studded. And thankfully, it’s all for a good cause. Would you shell out 50K to party with Diddy, Jay-Z, and Beyonce?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Diddy Put a Ring On Cassie?

By: ginatorres27Category: RumorsFebruary 2, 2012

I know this rumor has been circulating for a while, but there looks to be some evidence that Diddy has proposed to his longtime side-piece Cassie. The R&B cutie was spotted wearing a huge rock on her ring finger with Diddy by her side at Rick Ross’ birthday bash last week in Miami. Check out the photos below.

Back in September, Diddy openly tweeted ‘Will You Marry Me.’ But, since he dates so many woman at the same time, no one knew who he was talking to, or even if they should take him seriously. Cassie also tweeted this photo of the ring below.

Did you think Diddy finally put a ring on it?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Don Cornelius Commit Suicide to Prevent His Ex-Wife from Getting Life Insurance Money?

By: ginatorres27Category: RumorsFebruary 2, 2012

Oh man, this is just sad if it’s true. Insiders are saying that Don Cornelius committed suicide so that he could try to prevent his ex-wife from cashing in on his two life insurance policies worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Don and his ex-wife Viktoria Chapman Cornelius had a very tumultuous relationship, which ended in divorce in 2009. Don reported that he was peppered sprayed by his wife on multiple occasions and she accused him of domestic violence, which he was eventually convicted of.

In official legal docs obtained by TMZ, Don said, “I am 72 years old. I have significant health issues. I want to finalize this divorce before I die.” Unfortunately, there was a provision in his divorce settlement that says that Don must make Viktoria the beneficiary of both of his life insurance policies – totaling around $300,000 in benefits.

Under California law, if a policyholder commits suicide within two years of the time the policy is issued, the company can deny payment. But Don had the policy for more than two years, so Viktoria, the woman he despised, will get the cash. So sad.

Yasiin Bey a.k.a. Mos Def Set to Star in Film Prequel to “Jackie Brown”

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: NewsFebruary 2, 2012

(AllHipHop News) Yasiin Bey a.k.a. Mos Def is set to star in Switch, the film prequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 film, Jackie Brown.

Bey, along with John Hawkes, will play the the younger versions of Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara respectively, characters made famous by Jackson and De Niro in director Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 film Jackie Brown, which also starred Pam Grier in the role of the title character.

Credited as Mos Def and having starred in over 13 films including Cadillac Records, The Italian Job, 16 Blocks and Next Day Air, Yasiin Bey is no stranger to acting. He also had roles on television show like Dexter, The Boondocks, and Chappelle’s Show.

Switch is based on the 2002 novel The Switch, written by Elmore Leonard. The film, set 15 years before Jackie Brown, is being written and directed by Dan Schechter. Production on the film is set to begin in May.

See the book description for The Switch below:

Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara hit it off in prison, where they were both doing time for grand theft auto. Now that they’re out, they’re joining forces for one big score. The plan is to kidnap the wife of a wealthy Detroit developer and hold her for ransom. But they didn’t figure the lowlife husband wouldn’t want his lady back. So it’s time for Plan B and the opportunity to make a real killing — with the unlikely help of a beautiful, ticked-off housewife who’s hungry for a large helping of sweet revenge.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Beyonce Offered $500 Million to Judge X-Factor?

By: ginatorres27Category: RumorsFebruary 2, 2012

If the rumors are true, Beyonce and Jay-Z may be set to be worth a BILLION dollars combined sooner than we all expected! Sources are saying that “X-Factor” creator Simon Cowell has offered Beyonce $500 MILLION to be a judge on the hit TV series.

Originally, reports were saying that Simon Cowell was interested in hiring Mariah Carey as the judge, but he has now moved on to Beyonce to ensure the shows success. Peep the insiders comment below:

“He wants a big name female star on the panel. Mariah [Carey] is good, but she’s not that hot today. He wants Beyonce because that would immediately give him the bounce needed to beat American Idol.” And Simon is willing to PAY to land Beyonce.

The deal he is reportedly ready to offer Beyonce is a five-season deal worth $100M per year. Beyonce needs to jump on that quick!!!! Knowing the work-a-holic that Beyonce is, she can still churn out an album a year, tour and be a great mommy in addition to her judging duties.

Beyonce was a mentor on last season’s American Idol and she did great! Check out the video below:

If this is a true offer, do you think Beyonce should take it?

Daily Word: Show Compassion (R.I.P. Don Cornelius)

By: seandrasimsCategory: LifestyleFebruary 2, 2012

Good Morning, my Grateful and Greatly Appreciated!

Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to showing compassion. Yesterday morning, we were presented with the shocking news that “Soul Train” founder and dance television pioneer, Don Cornelius had died from an apparent suicide. Many couldn’t believe this transpired, but one can only imagine what would lead someone to suicide. This is a growing problem that so often gets swept under the rug…

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, there are one million approximate number of suicides worldwide each year, every 40 seconds somebody dies by suicide, there has been a 60 percent increase in worldwide suicide rates in the last 45 years, and there are 20 numbers of failed suicide attempts for each successful one. These alarming numbers can only draw the conclusion that you never know what people are going through.

As we mourn the loss of Don Cornelius, let’s remember to always show compassion. In a time where we are less sensitive to privacy, less compassionate about personal issues, and more prone to be mean-spirited; let’s not forget our humanity. Today, as you go through your day, make sure you are kind! Do something for someone who cannot possibly pay you back! We are all fighting the same fight no matter what are differences are. Showing your soft side does not make you weak! Show compassion and be the change you want to see.
