Hip-Hop Rumors: Pusha-T’s Next Lil Wayne Diss Will Include An EPIC FEATURE?
WOW!
They say when its on, its on and it looks like it is, IN FACT, ON! Honest, when I saw the internet response to Lil Wayne’s “Ghoulish,” thought Pusha and them may have just ignored it. But, that’s not the word on the block. The word on the streets is that Push-T is working on another diss that will feature a monumental feature from a super start of some sort. [Click here to see what Drake plans to do for Lil Wayne! ]
Honestly, I don’t know who the feature is, but it must be a big deal for it to be a rumor. Maybe, Master P? LOL! Or Gillie Da Kid? What about Jae Millz? I know he’s been on deck so long, he needs to get something out of the deal! Anyway, don’t expect any of the bigger dogs to get in this, but Drake seems compelled to comment on anything that comes at Wayne.
I ain’t see Wayne jump up when Common was coming at Drake’s Young Money neck. I’m just saying.
Anyway. I’m off to the beach.
I’ll be adding as I see foolishness unfurl!!
Right now, Pusha is looking like the Hulk and Lil Wayne, Loki. LMAOOOOOO!!!! Man, I’m out!

City of Philadelphia Launches Crackdown on Meek Mill’s Dirt Bike Riding Influence
(AllHipHop News) Despite the popularity of dirt bike riding in Meek Mill’s hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the city government is instituting a crackdown on the use of dirt bikes and ATV’s in its streets.
Attention to the issue developed this week when Philadelphia Police told ABC News WPVI in Philadelphia that dirt bike and ATV riding in neighborhoods is “a nuisance” and has become “increasing dangerous.”
Unclear on its origins, the city speculates that Meek Mill’s “Bike Life” viral video is what caused the youth to recently emulate the bike-riding affections of the Maybach Music Group-signed artist.
In hopes of curbing the loud bikes, wheelies, and high speed races, the City of Philadelphia is confiscating as many bikes and ATVs as possible, and the police are asking residents to tell them if they know of any hidden bikes.
“They’re glorifying it, but obviously these guys are good riders you can see that. But then again, you may have a kid 14 or 15 who may try to do the same thing, and he’s going to get hurt. He’s going to get killed,” said Philadelphia Police Lieutenant Evers.
It would seem, however, as if the police are fighting an uphill battle against Meek Mill’s popularity in the city, as this weekend the MMG rapper was asked to perform at Jay-Z’s “Made In America” Labor Day Weekend Concert overlooking Ben Franklin Parkway in the heart of downtown Philly.
“The Mayor does not condone illegal activities or actions that endanger the public. The glorification of illegal activities through music videos is an issue that consumers need to consider as they make market choices,” the Mayor’s Office said in a statement about the illegal bike riding.
Meek Mill was unable to be reached for comment at the time of print.
Chris Brown Throws Out Brown Hair, Introduces New Nose Ring in “Sweet Love”
Grammy-winning (or supposedly Grammy-winning) entertainer, Chris Brown, has just released a video for his latest single “Sweet Love”.
Produced by Polow da Don, this track is sure to please the ladies. Even though 2Pac might be the only male entertainer who could pull off a nose ring, do you think Chris has a good shot at pulling it off, too?
Drake and Lil Wayne Go At Pusha T Over “Exodus 23:1”
(AllHipHop News) Drake took the time to speak on the intense friction between Pusha T and Lil Wayne at a tour stop in Washington D.C.
“If you was doing 16s when I was 16 and your s**t still flopped and you switched teams, don’t talk to me my n***a,” Drake reportedly said.
The feud has continued to intensify and Lil Wayne has since released his own song going at Pusha-T.
On “Exodus 23:1”, Pusha said, “Contract all f***d up, I guess that means you all f***ed up/ You signed to one n***a, that’s signed to another n***a, that’s signed to three n***as, now that’s bad luck.”
Book Notes: A Breakdown of the Latest Urban Reads Shouts Out Hip-Hop Books That Matter
We love Hip-Hop culture right? It’s what we live and breathe. But how much do you really know about the culture? How much Hip-Hop history can you spit off the top of the dome? Need a refresher? Well, fear not, AllHipHop.com has the perfect books to help you become even more of an expert. Check out these books on Hip-Hop history and add a few more to your collection.
Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation by Jeff Chang
The definitive history on Hip-Hop music and culture, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop is a provocative and thought-provoking journey into the birth of Hip-Hop from the South Bronx to the many other cities that added layers to tapestry of the culture. The culmination of a decade of research and interviews, Jeff Chang’s book is an important and engaging book that can be found anywhere from the crate of a DJ to the desk of a professor. If you haven’t read this one yet, you owe it to yourself.
Hip Hop America by Nelson George
Over 10 years old, Hip Hop America is still a great book to read to understand Hip-Hop as a clash between youth culture and the mass media. The book touches on all themes in the culture from incarceration to entrepreneurship to technology and most of all, the business. Nelson George is the author of several other great books including his memoir, City Kid.
It’s Bigger than Hip-Hop: The Rise of the Post-Hip Hop Generation by M.K. Asante
In his book, The Hip Hop Generation: Young Blacks and the Crisis in African-American Culture, Professor Bakari Kitwana defined the Hip-Hop generation as those born within the years of 1965-1984, which would make those who come after “The Post-Hip-Hop Generation.”
It is upon this idea, that “Post Hip-Hopper,” M.K. Asante wrote his book. The book is meant to inspire and give voice to the younger Hip-Hop heads who were born and grew up in the shadows of giants.
Dirty South: OutKast, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, and the Southern Rappers who Reinvented Hip-Hop by Ben Westhoff
Cultural commentators have theorized that New York was dethroned by Los Angeles, but both cities conceded top billing in Hip-Hop to Atlanta. The Crunk style that originated in the ’90s infiltrated music from artists from all coasts. 
But, Southern rap flourished far beyond The A. Cities such as Houston and Louisiana have had remarkable impacts on music as well. This book examines the Dirty South, and how the artists and their music from the “Third Coast” seems to resonate with so many.
The Soul of Hip-Hop: Rims, Timbs, and a Cultural Theology by Daniel White Hodge
When it comes to talking about Jesus, mainstream Hip-Hop typically limits the conversation to a face on a diamond encrusted pendant.
Kanye West changed the game, literally, when he made “Jesus Walks,” and shined a light on the struggle between the streets and salvation. Daniel White Hodge draws a line from Hip-Hop to “the cross” in this book that is one of the first to examine the idea of theology in Hip-Hop.

RECAP: “75 Bars” of Black Thought and Mos Def Define the Realness at the Lyricist Lounge’s 20-Year Bash
The New York City crowd was jam-packed with lyric-hungry, authentic Hip-Hop heads. They had to be real Hip-Hop heads – otherwise they may not have even known about the 20-year legacy of the famed Lyricist Lounge.
The Lyricist Lounge, founded in New York City in 1991, has sought to promote up-and-coming raw artists, and in doing so, has facilitated three albums, seven domestic tours, two seasons of an MTV sketch comedy, called “The Lyricist Lounge Show“, and two DVD releases. It has always been an invitation-only club for true MCs – where truth is defined as lyrical/word dexterity rooted in the “massacre the mic” foundations of rap.
For one night, some of the most famous alumni came together to celebrate its longtime epicness via the Lyricist Lounge 20-Year All-Star Reunion at Manhattan’s Le Poisson Rouge, sponsored by AllHipHop.com, Rocksmith, Real Talk NYC, and Fusicology. And, with a hella-heavy lineup and special guests list and boasting Black Thought as host, the fans were about to get their tickets’ worth.
When it comes to lyricism, it doesn’t get much better than Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter. As a founder of Philadelphia’s legendary Roots crew, Black Thought was seemingly blessed from birth with words that fit together with an effortlessness, a unique, throaty tonal quality, and unmistakable street rawness. He held the show together like a host with the most – in between sets, keeping the capacity crowd enthralled with his verses, something like a late night monologue over beats backed by J Period on the turntables.
It was on, and in a nutshell, the unforgettable night went something like this:
Backstage, AllHipHop.com asked Black Thought to define lyricism, and then pointed to his 700-word “75 Bars” masterpiece as a likely candidate for one of the best no hook, no nonsense rap records ever. We caught him beforehand in his always dimly-lit green room, freshening up the lyrics (see video below), and then during the show, dropping it in what was a great moment in Hip-Hop…
Black Thought performed his “75 Bars” alongside the equally stellar Mos Def a.k.a. Yasiin Bey, who knew the song almost better than its writer and co-signed it as one of the best songs in Hip-Hop history. The two also paid tribute during their set to a recently fallen friend, the late MCA of the Beastie Boys.
Da Bush Babees, offshoots of the Native Tongue clique, made the seasoned heads bop with just as much energy as they had on 1994’s Ambushed. It was a rare and welcome sighting for the group from Brooklyn.
About Queens, New York’s Homeboy Sandman, though? Quite simply, he ripped sh*t. From the corners of the stage and the DJ booth, even the veteran MCs marveled at his voracious command of the crowd. 
His well-known rap rolick had his faithful NYC fanbase rocking then stopping, rocking then stopping. We got to know him better at last year’s Brooklyn Hip Hop Fest, but dang, Sandman – we’re watching more closely from here on out!
Prodigy was there, and naturally, anything Mobb Deep from the lyrical heyday of the ’90s and early 2000s was sure to hypnotize the Big Apple crowd. And the crowd, they loved him, but one couldn’t help but wonder where Havoc was.
Then there was Immortal Technique, who always seems angry, but actually is a solid, thoughtful guy on every occasion. He rocked the crowd into a revolutionary frenzy, and then, in true Immortal Technique fashion, he closed the show with a disclaimer for any visitors: that even though you may see men in pink shirts walking fluffy dogs, “this is still New York City!”
Deep into the night, Hip-Hop Monuments Doug E Fresh and DJ Kid Capri reminded the crowd that female MCs have always been among the best lyricists in the game. They brought Farrah Burns, Sara Kana, and Eternia to the stage to burn off some of the testosterone in the air. Short story – the ladies killed it.
There are too many highlights still left to mention – and too many other cool people in the building to run them all down. (Peace, Pharoahe Monch and Lil Fame of M.O.P.!)
All in all, it was a lyric lover’s dream. Just like the Lyricist Lounge.
Beyond this event, the “Lyricist Lounge 20-Year Anniversary” celebration continues with several commemorative events throughout New York following the kickoff party, including outdoor concerts in city parks in partnership with Summerstage and Celebrate Brooklyn.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Lil Wayne Disses Pusha T on “Ghoulish”

Reports: “Watch The Throne 2” On The Way
(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z and Kanye West have plans for a sequel to their collaborative album, Watch The Throne.
Producer Mike Dean, who worked on WTT and several of West’s projects, confirmed that the duo were going to release Watch The Throne 2 at the Cannes Film Festival. West debuted a new film called “Cruel Summer.”
Dean has indicated that actual recording has not started yet.
In the recent past, Jay-Z indicated that he was actually taking time away from recording to spend more time with his daughter. Still, the rapper mogul has been linked to the new “Annie” film reboot as well as the highly-regarded “Made In America” festival in Philadelphia.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Saigon Goes In On Rick Ross And Big Sean For Making Destructive Music
Politically smart and socially conscious Brooklyn rapper Saigon is upset with the current state of Hip-Hop music and points his fingers at popular artists, Rick Ross and G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean. Check out what Saigon said about Ricky Rozay’s music being too heavily based on selling drugs and how nobody knows the lyrics to Big Sean’s#### “Dance (A$$)”.
Why ya’ll supportin’ a n*gga that promotes the destruction of our community? Why are you doin’ that? Why would you let this n*gga thrive and we don’t know where our next jobs are coming from? He’s rapping about selling kilos of cocaine and selling drugs. This is what he’s about, this whole lifestyle saying he’s so rich and he eats shrimp every night, and ya’ll support this sh*t?,” Sai told SOHH, referring to Ross.
“Ya’ll broke and poor and your family’s about to get kicked out. That’s our hit son! That’s his hit. Nobody knows the words to this song, all they know is “a$$, a$$, a$$, a$$, a$$, a$$, a$$” [background noises]. We don’t care about “a$$, a$$, a$$, a$$,” but this is the society we livin’ in right now. So it’s like alright.”
Do you think Saigon has a point, or is he just disgruntled because Ross and Big Sean are having success? Saigon’s album “The Greatest Story Never Told” is currently available on iTunes.
French Montana Associates Weily Don & Biggs Indicted For Being Top Blood In Connecticut; Klean Up Krew Accused Of Being A Gang
(AllHipHop News) An associate of rapper French Montana is being held without bail in New Haven, Connecticut and is being accused of leading the Tre Bloods Gang after being arrested in the largest gang sweep in the state’s history.
The New Haven Independent reports that federal prosecutors have accused the Jameel “Biggs” Wilkes of being the leader of the Tre Bloods gang, which operates in the Dwight-Kensington neighborhood of New Haven.
Authorities accused Jameel “Biggs” Wilkes of running the Tre Bloods, in addition to another gang, The Klean Up Krew.
The Klean Up Krew dropped a video with French Montana in 2010 titled “Addicted To Money,” that authorities claim was recorded in an impoverished neighborhood Biggs and the Tre Bloods allegedly controlled.
Rapper Weily Don, 22, of New Haven, who is featured in the video with French Montana, was also arrested in the raid.
Last week, federal authorities charged Wilkes with conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine, possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of cocaine.
The arrest was part of “Operation Bloodline,” which was a joint law enforcement investigation headed by the DEA New Haven Task Force, to target narcotic trafficking and gang violence in the area.
Police seized five firearms, crack cocaine and heroin and $50,000 in cash, from over 100 people who were rounded up in the raid.
“It’s a music group!” one of Biggs’s sisters told The New Haven Independent. “It’s something he started to stop the violence, to get kids off the streets. There are CDs being sold – you can even find videos in YouTube!”
Wilkes is currently facing 10 years-to-life in jail and has pleaded not guilty to charges.
