Signs The World Is Coming To An End: The World’s Scariest Drug, “The Devil’s Breath”

By: ginatorres27 Updated Jul 5, 2012 at 10:00amCategory: MOBILE

It seems like there are more and more dangerous drugs being introduced everyday. The latest to follow in the footsteps of “bath salts” is a Colombian drug called “Scopolamine,” more commonly referred to as “the devil’s breath.”

The drug makes you incapable of making your own decisions, and makes you a slave to the person who has given it to you. It’s the modern day “ruffies,” but with a much deadlier effect.

VICE’s Ryan Duffy went to Colombia to check out the strange and powerful drug. The first few days in the country were a harrowing montage of freaked-out dealers and unimaginable horror stories about Scopolamine. After meeting only a few people with firsthand experience, the story took a far darker turn than we ever could have imagined. Check out the documentary below:

It’s crazy how accessible the drug is.

Game is back at it again, and has name dropped more than a few people in his new freestyle over Rick Ross’ God Forgives, I Don’t single “So Sophisticated.” On the freestyle, Game raps:

“I’m selling out arena’s/Got a bad b*tch and her a** fat/she play with balls like Venus/her a** fat like Serena’s/that p*ssy good like Trina’s”

The Compton rapper goes on to name drop even more, name checking Rihanna and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Yes, Ellen.

“Got white girls, Coachella, with Rihanna hair, umbrella/ I pull up in that white ghost with that white b#### like Ellen,” raps Game.

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Jul 5, 2012 at 9:07amCategory: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) A 25-year-old Houston man has been arrested in connection with the shooting of Trae The Truth, that also left three people dead.

The incident unfolded on June 20 outside of the Diamond’s Gentleman’s Club in Houston, Texas.

Police accuse Feanyichi Uvukansi of opening fire on a crowd as they were leaving the adult nightclub.

Authorities believe Uvukansi was gunning for Coy “Poppa C” Thompson 23, who was among the three killed in the gunfire.

Three of the victims died, while Trae The Truth and an associate Willie Watkins, sustained minor injuries.

According to a report by KHOU in Houston, Uvukansi said he was surprised to learn that he was a suspect, and told authorities that he did not bring a gun to the club.

Feanyichi Uvukansi was charged with multiple counts of capital murder and is being held without bond.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Cam’Ron Disses Mase, But Why?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Jul 4, 2012 at 2:56pmCategory: Rumors

Welp! It would seem like MFs are sending shots at each other left and right these days. Most fall off and say it was a misstatement like Nicki claiming that her line “f**k a Pusha” actually said “f**k a push-up.” RIGHT. Anyway, Cam’ron has never been one to mince his words and when he goes in, he stays in. Pause. But, the latest victim is Mase. On the new song with Jim Jones and Lil Tunechi, Cam’ron struck! Its only a have a bar, but here it is.

Now, Mase and Cam have a long history. They used to rap together and all that, but why is Cam letting a round off at his former homie? Not a good look for Mase’s so-called comeback.

5 Things That Will Come Out From Frank Ocean’s Coming Out

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Jul 4, 2012 at 2:00pmCategory: Uncategorized

I have to give Frank Ocean his props for coming out of the closet and announcing to the world that he’s a gay man. While he’s not a Hip-Hop artist as has been asserted in the mainstream, he’s an affiliate. With that said, he’s a representative of the ever-changing times in urban music and general music. Here are five things that will come out of his coming out:

1) First of all there have been countless rumors of people in the music game – and more specifically Hip-Hop – who have been gay. You know the rumors of everybody from Erick Sermon to Missy Elliot to Queen Latifah to others were mostly shrouded it in mystery. It’s almost like they are regarded as cowards with all the praise that Frank Ocean is getting. I think we’ll see others see his bravery and opt to come out as gay, too.

2) There are the invariable fakers. There are already people out there that are fake gays, and they are going to continue to fake like they are coming out of the closet, when they are really just testing a different entry point into fame, acclaim, and success. Like, this attempt backfired for Lil B the Based God calling his album, I’m Gay. Frank Ocean’s revelation was far more sincere and earnest, even though some are speculating it is also a stunt for a press bump before his album hits later this month.

3) Hip-Hop will be forced to cool off on the homophobia. The fact is, Hip-Hop has had gay people in it for a very, very long time. That is a fact and far truer than people care to admit. But, somehow, unlike the rest of the world, the Urban Music world has been slow to accept homosexuality. Sure, there have been folks like Little Richard and Sylvester back in the day, but recently, gays in R&B and Rap stay tucked away in the closet. Frank Ocean is at the beginning of his career, but you better believe with Jay-Z and Kanye West as homies, along with Odd Future, maf*ckas are going to have to recognize.

4) The fact is, you are going to listen to Frank Ocean differently now that he’s made his reveal. Seriously, listen to “f*ck me good/ f*ck me long/ f*ck me numb.” “Novacane” is clearly about women, but now it will be “heard” in a manner quite disparately.

5) Frank Ocean has officially solidified himself as a star that we’ll never forget. Before his first love being a man, he was a dude with great potential that just happened to have an affinity for attracting megastars. Now, he’s opened himself up to new possibilities and a new crew of supporters. Last, but not least, early listening sessions suggest strongly that his new album, Channel Orange, is nothing less than incredible.

Andre 3000 To Cover Beatles and Muddy Waters Hits On Forthcoming Jimi Hendrix Biopic

By: seandrasims Updated Jul 4, 2012 at 1:48pmCategory: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Outkast member Andre 3000 is set to cover the hits of some of music’s most legendary artists, as he records and films for the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic.

According to CNN, All By My Side, in production for the past four months and set in London in the late ’60s, will include Andre 3000 remakes from The Beatles (“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and more), along with Blues legend Muddy Waters (“Mannish Boy”), Elmore James, and others.

Filmgoers will not hear original songs, however, from Hendrix’s hugely popular but short-lived career.

The guitarist who passed away at age 27 left a bevy of music, but his estate has refused to license his hits for the upcoming film or virtually any other requests in recent years.

Experience Hendrix LLC, overseer of the Hendrix estate, spoke out last month regarding the movie. According to Hendrix’s sister Janie who also runs the company, Hendrix’s estate “has made it known many times in the past that no such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full participation.”

Despite the lack of original music, watchers are already lauding Andre 3000’s embrace of the legendary guitarist’s likeness and mannerisms.

“Andre has been Jimi for four months now,” says Sean McKittrick, co-producer of the film that is currently shooting in Dublin, Ireland. “He speaks and walks like Jimi. He dropped a ton of weight. The transformation has been amazing.”

Adds McKittrick, it was “easier…to recreate 1967 London.”

The film is set to show at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2013, with the release to follow, along with a possible full soundtrack of Andre 3000 covers.

Funk Master Flex Goes Crazy On Charlamagne

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Jul 4, 2012 at 1:13pmCategory: Rumors

Man, these cats in the radio world go harder than the rappers! Flex goes IN on Charlamagne Tha God of Power 105. More than anything, this was just funny. From what I heard, there was no actual fight between Busta and Charlamagne. I will say this, there was something that almost popped off. Apparently, there are pics of C going in at Busta, but being restrained. Anyway…listen to Flex rant endlessly about The Breakfast Club. The funniest line was that they said somebody “got robbed at fingerprint.” LOL!
