FEEL RICH VIDEO: Power 105 Breakfast Club’s Angela Yee On Staying Fit While Crazy Busy

Editor’s Note: “Feel Rich” is our partnership with QD3, the talented son of music legend Quincy Jones. “Feel Rich” is all about creating a healthy lifestyle for Hip-Hop culture – both the artists and the fans. Enjoy!

Angela Yee is a very busy woman who manages to work out and eat well. She shared her tricks for balancing working full-time as a radio personality in New York City for Power 105.1 and prioritizing her health. It may not come easy, but Yee makes it work, and her tricks will help you to do the same.

Here are some tips for getting fit and working it out like Angela Yee:

Stop drinking calories. Drink water, tea (no sugar), coffee (black), and zero-calorie diet drinks. Juice is just sugar water, and sports drinks aren’t necessary unless you’ve just run for over 90 minutes. Alcohol counts, too — drinking a six pack will cover yours up. Save your calories for food. Bonus: The more non-caffeinated fluid you drink, the less fluid you’ll retain — less puff, more buff.

No gas station food. Except for the basket of sad-looking bananas at the register, there’s not much in the gas station that won’t own your attempts to drop weight. Tricky labeling, substandard ingredients, and insane calorie counts add up to fatty, and you are what you eat. Instead, think ahead, and bring healthier, low-calorie snacks with you if you know you’ll be hungry while you’re out. Fruit, raw vegetables, and low-fat cheese are portable and delicious.

Level Up:
Cardio is key. Get at least 30 minutes of continuous heart-pounding activity most days of the week to increase your overall daily calorie burn. Make it something you enjoy, and you’re more likely to stick with it. If you can manage an hour per day, the fat will melt quicker. Bonus: Do your cardio in the morning before breakfast to draw energy straight from fat reserves.

Don’t be a pig. Don’t pile your plate with as much food as it will hold, because you’ll probably finish it whether you really need it or not. Take about half of what you think you want — you can always go back for seconds. Learn to eyeball portion sizes — a serving of pasta is the size of a softball, and a serving of rice is half that. Your steak should be the size of a deck of cards, and cheese should be the size of four dice.

Like a Boss
Call in the science. Use an online calorie calculator to see how many calories you need, and plan out your carb, fat and protein percentages. Planning your diet ahead of time helps you avoid hunger traps that cause bad decisions, and you’ll stick to your diet.

Ramp it up to rip it up. Interval cardio torches fat like no other workout, and takes about half the time. Alternate your pace between “pretty hard” and “really freakin’ hard” every two minutes or so for about 30 minutes total. The slower periods burn calories from fat, while the faster periods burns more overall calories. Bonus: Intense exercise also reduces appetite, so you’ll eat less on top of burning more. Should we schedule a photo shoot now?

VIDEO: Casey Veggies Hits Up Jersey’s Bamboozle Festival; Subtly Announces Three Upcoming Projects For 2012

Fact: Casey Veggies knows how to command a crowd. The kid from California has had one hell of a year and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, which is a point that was made very clear at The 2012 Bamboozle Festival last weekend in New Jersey, when the Inglewood native rocked an energetic yet hypnotic, 30-minute set for a beach full of concert-goers.

Casey spoke to AllHipHop.com about the difference in performing for hometown crowds versus crowds of 40,000 at the New Jersey festival, how the fans have responded to his April-released mixtape, Customized Greatly Vol. 3, and most importantly, what’s to come in the future from the 18-year-old. (Hint: three brand new projects!)

EXCLUSIVE: Jimmy Henchman’s Son Comments On Father’s Cocaine Trial

(AllHipHop News) The son of James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond recently sat down with AllHipHop.com to discuss his father’s cocaine trial, which is currently taking place in Federal Court in Brooklyn, New York.

Rosemond Jr., who celebrated a birthday over the holiday weekend, remains optimistic and convinced of his father’s innocence.

James Rosemond, Sr., who managed acts like Sean Kingston, Game, Mike Tyson, Akon, and others, is facing a life sentence for allegedly masterminding a $10 million-a-year cocaine operation.

“I am blessed to celebrate another year, but at the same time my heart is heavy,” James “Lil Henchman” Rosemond told AllHipHop.com. “If I had one wish, it would be to have my father free and home with me and my little sisters.”

The elder Rosemond was arrested in June 2011 on cocaine distribution charges, after a 30-day, nationwide manhunt.

“It’s been a year since we have had to hear lie after lie about my dad, but mind you all, I know the truth because I lived with him,” added Lil Hench, who has attended each day of testimony since the trial began on May 14.

Although his father is charged with serious crimes, Lil Henchman said that his dad raised him well and helped him better his life.

“I am who I am today because of my dad. I am enrolled in college because of my dad,” Lil Hench told AllHipHop.com.

Lil Henchman and Jimmy Henchman

“I have experienced different cultures and learned to give back because of my dad. I want to dedicate my birthday today with ‘Free James Rosemond’ and a birthday wish of him returning home to his family. Love you dad, and we are going to fight this fight!”

Testimony continues today (May 29).

Hip-Hop Rumors: Meek Mill Confirms Rihanna Rumors, Says She Let Him “Watch The Throne”

It’s about to get real hot in here! Rumor has it that Chris Brown dropped Meek Mill’s verse off of the track “Don’t Judge Me” from his Fortune CD, because of his alleged extracurricular activities with his ex Rihanna.

Well, Meek Mill pretty much confirmed both rumors via his Twitter the other day, and threw some shade at Breezy at the same time. Check out Meek Mill’s tweet below:

Meek Mill deleted the tweet shortly after it posted, but it seems as if Chris Brown may have seen the confession. Breezy later tweeted “She’s a dream chaser! There are alot of dreamers so she’ll be running forever!”

This is subliminal overload! Rihanna’s done started a Twitter war between these two. Expect a freestyle addressing the matter from one of these two soon.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Mike Tyson Sex Tapes With Who??

PRAY THIS HAS NO TRUTH TO IT!

Now this is strange. So, strange, it is, I am not sure how factual it is. There are a couple variables that come into play here. Basically, rumor has it Mike Tyson has recorded many videos of himself in the bed doing many famous celebrities. The rumor goes he’s got Janet Jackson, pre-marriage Jada Pinkett, Angie Stone, Angela Bassett and even Mary J. Blige. Now, I’m not so sure I believe this, but I got to thinking that it may be true. Mike was a beast back in the day, and I don’t mean in the bad way. I mean in the good way as a ferocious athlete. Then came that rape situation. It has been speculated that after that bid in jail, Iron Mike began to record his romps in the bed as insurance that he didn’t rape the women he knocked down. Only thing, is I’m not sure I can see these ladies doing anything with a post-rape Mike. Well, maybe Mary – lol – just kidding. Anyway, we know Robin Givens KO’d Mike back in the day and I never heard of any other chicks in his life. This may just be a crazy rumor. I don’t think we’ll see “evidence” of the truth anytime soon unless Mike REALLY wants to make some money.

Janet though?

I don’t know about this one!

VIDEO: DJ Pauly D On Working With 50 Cent, Setting Himself Apart and Babysitting For Snooki at the Jersey Shore

Last December, DJ Pauly D officially inked a deal with 50 Cent’s G-Note Records. The record label differed from his well-known G-Unit brand in the sense that G-Note artists came from all genres, including R&B, Dance, Pop, and more.

Not long after the ink dried, Pauly and 50 revealed another part of their “plan,” which was to have the DJ, most famously known for the reality show “Jersey Shore,” release his own line of custom SMS Audio headphones. Fast forward a few months, and Pauly D has dropped two singles, wrapped and aired the first season of his solo reality show, “The Pauly D Project,” and landed residencies as DJ at both The Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and Harrah’s Pool in Atlantic City, NJ, all while working on his debut album for 50 Cent and G-Note.

Pauly D spoke briefly to AllHipHop.com as he hit the Jersey Shore once again last weekend to perform for a full house of rabid fans at The Bamboozle 2012 Festival. Pauly talked about the G-Note deal with 50 Cent, who will also appear on the DJ’s debut album, what sets him apart, and more. Check out our exclusive interview with DJ Pauly D below:

Mixtape Review: 50 Cent’s “The Lost Tape”

Rating: 7.5 / 10

It’s not like 50 Cent’s been silent lately; he’s been making music and remaining relevant in several different aspects, whether it’s slick-talking his way into news headlines, partnering up with champion boxers, or verbally abusing anyone who rubs him the wrong way on Twitter (label included). Yet for some reason, when he dropped his previous project (The Big 10), although according to normal standards it did well, it was still nowhere near the level of buzz and appreciation 50’s used to getting for his stellar album releases.

It’s with that said that 50 Cent decides to get back to his roots; the aggressive side of his demeanor that made him notable to begin with. At times he’s a contradiction and other times he’s an enigma of sorts, but he’s never NOT entertaining. The issue for most has been seeing if he can maintain that charisma for an album like he’s done in the past. If you let 50 tell it, he’s sure he can.

His label, more or less, doesn’t seem to be so certain from their actions.

So 50’s taking matters into his own hands by partnering with one of the undisputed kings of the mixtape circuit. DJ Drama has linked to try and spark something special with 50, and The Lost Tape is the gritty result. It’s not perfect by any means, and it’s not even one of the best tapes to be released this year, but it serves its purpose of reminding us why we initially loved/hated 50 Cent in the first place.

From the moment “Get Busy” drops, 50 stakes his claim again with all original music (excluding the “Riot Remix” that has him and 2 Chainz trading bars within each verse), and most of them work (excluding the cheesy hook and production for “Swag Level”). It’s the same 50 Cent that we’ve grown accustomed to musically, and that’s not a bad thing. The in-your-face vibe of “Murder One” and “You A Killer? Cool” help to back that statement, alongside the radio-esque sounds from “I Ain’t Gonna Lie” (feat. Robbie Nova) and “Planet 50” (with Jeremih), and it all works somehow.

 Curtis also uses his platform to show off his newest additions to G-Unit as well; Kidd Kidd and Precious Paris all come through and improve their stock in the ears of the listeners (most notably Kidd Kidd; Paris proved she was nice with her latest mixtape From Paris With Love). The features are also slick, but still pale in comparison to the man of the hour. Even on smooth, radio ready joints like “I Ain’t Gonna Lie”, 50’s patented trash-talk outshines the vocals on the hook and makes the song memorable, but familiar all the while.

And that may be the problem for most people that hear the tape. Yes, 50 drops some quotable lines and proves that he can still make music, but it doesn’t sound too different from music he’s done in the past. If you rock with 50, this will reinforce your support, but if you’re wanting that special “something” like we got when we first heard Get Rich Or Die Trying (or for some, his unreleased/scrapped and heavily bootlegged Columbia Records LP Power of the Dollar), then maybe that’s coming in July when he supposedly drops his album. For now, it’s a great statement to listeners and artists alike that 50’s not playing when it comes to music. Let’s just hope The Lost Tape isn’t the last highlight he provides.

EXODUS 1:10: The Real Pusha T Diss

“Drug dealer buys Jordans/crackhead buys crack/and a white man gets paid off of all of that ” – “All Falls Down” – Kanye West

It started off as a couple of disses being traded back and forth across the ‘net between rival Hip-Hop labels, but the conflict quickly escalated as rappers on both sides tried to prove who were the real killas and who were the fake gangstas. The contest ended in a draw, as the beef left dead bodies on both sides. The only real winners were the billionaire label owners who made a fortune selling greatest hits CDs, and the kids on the block hawkin’ bootleg T-shirts with pictures of dead rappers on the front and “EXODUS 1:10” on the back…

Last week, while the rest of the country was dealing with issues like the upcoming election, student loan interest rates and the economy, the biggest news in Hip-Hop was, yet, another rap beef.

A few days ago, Pusha T, former member of The Clipse, the group that took Crack music to a whole ‘nother level with songs like “Grindin’,” a decade ago, released a diss track presumed to be aimed at Lil Wayne called “EXODUS 23:1.” The track is seen by many as a prelude to a war between Pusha’s label, G.O.O.D. Music, and Drake and the homies of Young Money/Cash Money Billionaires.

However, what was interesting was when the diss hit the ‘net, it wound up being the tweet heard ’round the world as EXODUS 23:1 suddenly became a trending topic, sending millions of wanna-be gangstas scrambling to grab Grandma’s Good Book to peep what the Creator of the Universe said about the G.O.O.D. Music/YMCMB beef.

The tweets also caught the attention of mainstream media websites, as CNN and Time Magazine rushed to put out stories about a rapper who few of their readers knew existed. Now, Pusha was not the first artist to use scripture passages to go in on rival rappers, (Remember Pac’s “Hail Mary”?) but that was before Twitter. So, he was the first to make a Biblically-based rap attack go viral. I guess this is a moment in Hip-Hop history of which we can all be proud.

But we have to ask ourselves, are the decision makers who revere CNN like the Bible and who control the flow of education dollars to “inner city schools” or pass legislation regarding criminal sentencing laws, really looking at this beef as “a couple of creative geniuses just expressing their remarkable talents?” Or are they looking at it more like a bunch of trained circus monkeys that somebody taught to beat box? My money is on the latter.

When I first saw the title of the song, I admit, I thought the industry was finally going to be exposed on some deep metaphysical, esoteric level by one of its insiders who was going to use Biblical references to validate A Tribe Called Quest’s Industry “Rule #4080” that “record company people are shady.” Or maybe even prove that the Hip-Hop conspiracy theorists were right, and there was really only one major record label controlling Hip-Hop and the Anti-Christ was the CEO.

No such luck. Just some more ‘hood drama.

The beef is just the continuation of rap fratricide that has plagued the culture since the mid-‘90s. No matter how many deaths and prison sentences happen in Hip-Hop, the glorification of beefs remains constant. Sure, there is always the brief period when the Hip-Hop community signs a peace treaty and rappers come together at some meeting and promise that they will be more civilized with their lyrics but a few months later, it’s back to the ol’ standard “ooooh, did you hear how so -and- so dissed…?”

The cycle of insanity continues.

Besides being a way for record labels to make money off the self-hatred that is destroying the Black community, it also serves as a necessary distraction from the real issues that should be of utmost importance to this generation. The beef is just another exercise in displaced aggression, where the proverbial “Menace to Society” becomes the next young, Black man instead of the corporate bloodsuckers who are draining the life force from Hip-Hop.

Even Pusha T hints at the fact that rappers are being played like puppets when he talks about on EXODUS 23:1, how it’s bad luck when an artist is signed to multiple record deals and the man at the top of the totem pole is always going to be the head of one of the three major record labels. (Sometimes you gotta read between the lines.)

Also, we have to call the propagation of Black-on-Black violence, what it is – corporate-sponsored population control. This has been the standard of operation in dealing with Black people since the enslavement and colonization of Africa when the European exploiters used to give both sides of a conflict weapons and wait for them to kill each other off.

During the Hip-Hop Era, the late author Gary Webb suggested in Dark Alliance that the high-powered assault weapons and the crack in the ‘hood may have been government sponsored. So, it is not far fetched to believe that some rich dudes are not only funding both sides of Hip-Hop beefs, but maybe even supplying guns to both sides of the gang wars.

History teaches that’s how the ruling elite have always gotten down. Remember in None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Garry Allen claims that some “international bankers” funded both sides of the Civil War. If they would do that to thousands of “good ol’ patriotic soldiers dying for their political beliefs,” what do you think they would do to a bunch of disposable, street thugs killing over bandannas and street corners?

Now, I know some of ya’ll are going to say it’s just entertainment, and “it ain’t all that deep.” But some of us refuse to swim in the shallow end of the pool of life.

Like Hip-Hop artist, Dee-1, said on “Jay, 50 and Weezy,” “Entertainment is what it seems/ but Black on Black hatred/ is the underlyin’ theme.”

And that’s word-to-tha JOHN 8:32.

Because You Should Know Basquiat: AllHipHop Defines The Top 5 Over-Used Rap Buzz Words and Phrases

The thing about rap is…it’s trendy. Actually, it sets most of the trends that the rest of the world follows. So when something catches on in Hip-Hop, it usually gets run through the ringer by the artists and fans first – right before the media puts it on auto-repeat, and then Corporate America bastardizes it in commercials with grandmas and little suburban kids. Remember “bling?” Sigh.

Rap lyrics these days are ripe with repeat references – some of them you know, and admit it, some of them have left you scratching your head. A common thread in these popular phrases is their connection to the “baller” lifestyle. That might be the reason the rest of us little people have to live vicariously through our favorite rappers when they spit new slang or name-drop new brands.

Because you wanna know, AllHipHop.com refers to its own encyclopedic knowledge of “all things cool in rap” to explain these Top 5 over-used words and phrases to you, our faithful readers. You’re welcome 🙂

1. BASQUIAT (proper noun)

Basquiat, “Untitled (Skull)” – 1984

: referring to the late Brooklyn-born graffiti and Neo-expressionist artist of Haitian descent, Jean-Michel Basquiat (pictured above), whose paintings are a necessary item to possess in order to be considered a member of the new Black Opulence in rap. Basquiat’s teenage runaway tale, starving artist world travels, and untimely death at age 27 are the stuff that makes for good Hip-Hop legend.

Usage:

“She said I care more about them Baquiones/
Basquiats, she learning/The new word is yacht…” – Kanye West, “That’s My B*tch”

2. MOLLY, DRANK, AND THAT BROWN OR THAT WHITE (proper nouns)

Now, these? We’re definitely not gonna go all out and co-sign them, because hey, there are kiddies reading and listening, too, but…

– Molly

: of or referring to the recreational usage of V##### or other anti-anxiety or sleep- or hallucinogen-inducing drugs (e.g. Ecstacy)

Usage:

“She on Molly, she with Mary/At the same damn time…” – Wale, “Same Damn Time Remix”

See also: Jae Millz ft. 2 Chainz – “Molly”

– Drank

: a newer model colloquialism for “lean” or “sizzurp,” composed of a promethazine/codeine cocktail and often sipped from a styrofoam cup

Usage:

Lil Wayne, Short Dawg, Kirko Bangz, Too Short, etc. etc.

Syrup got me slow/like a turtle ‘round this hoe…” – Lil Wayne, “Watch My Shoes”

See also: Kirko Bangz featuring 2 Chainz and Juelz Santana – “Drank In My Cup Remix”

– That Brown or That White

: generally pertaining to heroin (brown) or cocaine (white); term commonly used in “trappin'” references (see #5 below) rather than direct substance abuse; also used to differentiate brown liquor (e.g. Hennessy) from white or clear liquor (e.g. Ciroc); and lastly, Black girls or White girls.

Usage:

“My partner on brown/and you know I’m on white/You know it’s going down/I can do this all night…” – Young Jeezy, “Way Too Gone”

3. PARIS (proper noun)

: the capital and largest city in the European country of France; known to be frequented as of late by Jay-Z, Kanye West, Ryan Leslie, and other American rap chaps; a locale denoting triumph for Black boys in every ‘hood. Magnifique’!

Definition Update: Wait! There were plenty of “n*ggas in Paris” way before now! In fact, legendary “Banana Dance” entertainer Josephine Baker thumbed her nose at American racism, deciding to move permanently to the city of Paris in the 1920s, a controversial but ballsy and ballerific move for a Black woman of her time.

Additional Usage:

“If you escaped what I escaped/You’d be in Paris gettin’ f*cked up, too…” – Jay-Z, “N*ggas In Paris”

See also: “Six thousand-dollar pair of shoes/We made it to the Paris news!” – Again, Kanye West, “Theraflu (Way Too Cold)”

4. LOTUS FLOWER BOMB (imaginary proper noun)

: NOT pertaining to a real brand of perfume, this smellish, descriptive phrase from last year is still in rotation, and was coined and popularized by the 2011 Wale and Miguel hit of the same name.

Usage:

The term was not originally coined by references made in Nelly’s 2011 remix by the same title. Although his usage was proper, it was possibly not as memorable.

See also: “You remind me of my mama/Smell like Flower Bomb and Escada” – Diggy Simmons, “Do It Like You”

5. TRAPPIN’ (present participle of ‘trap’ – verb)

“Trap House” – Image by Chris Bartelski

: a slang term used in correlation with ballers who are still “’bout that life.” It is commonly applied as the act of marketing street pharmaceuticals from a non-residential domicile.

Usage:

“If I wasn’t rappin’/I be trappin’/If I wasn’t trappin’/I be pimpin'” – 2Chainz, “Beez In The Trap Remix”

See also: Us pondering whether a nice girl like Nicki Minaj actually “beez in the trap.”

*** BONUS: CAKE

: historically used for slang purposes to refer to large amounts of currency or cash, the term has now been modernized in song to include references to the female sexual anatomy

Usage:

“It’s not even my birthday/But he wanna lick the icing off/(he want that cake, cake, cake, cake…)” – Rihanna and Chris Brown, “Birthday Cake”

Additional Usage:

For true ballers, simply upgrade your song by combining two or more of the above terms, as in the case of the MMG general:

“Basquiat, boy!/Cake, cake, cake!” – Rick Ross, Rihanna, and Chris Brown, “Birthday Cake Remix”
