Hip-Hop Rumors: Is It Really Illegal To Post A Photo Of Your Ballot?

Have you voted yet? If not, please head down to your nearest polling location and make it happen. Our future depends on it! Okay, so there is a huge rumor running rampant on the ‘net about posting a photo of your election ballot onto social networking sites. People are saying that it is illegal, and if you do so, your vote can be disqualified.

Now, this is a huge deal because everyone is doing it – not just celebrities like Beyonce and Mariah Carey, but tons of everyday citizens are showing pride that they voted and posting pics of their ballots. So, will these ballots be disqualified?

Our homegirl Jasmine Brand did the legwork for us and discovered that it is actually illegal in NY for voters to show their ballots publicly. Check out a screen shot of the law below:

Now, if that isn’t the most useless law ever! So our beautiful Bey did break the law after all. This law is actually valid in a large amount of the country, so check out if your state applies below:

But, does this mean her vote is disqualified? It doesn’t say anything about that, but just for security, I would advise you all not to post your ballots online. It is illegal to do so in many states, even after the election is over. Better safe than sorry!

Rick Ross Signs Famed Louisiana and Texas DJ, DJ Hollyhood Bay Bay to MMG Imprint

(AllHipHop News) After being on Hip-Hop radio in Shreveport, Louisiana and Dallas, Texas for years and spinning some of the South’s most popular records, DJ Hollyhood Bay Bay has signed with Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group.

After months of speculation and rumors, Rick Ross stamped “Bay Bay’s” Anwhat Entertainment movement with the official MMG stamp of approval via a Twitter post saying “@rickyrozay: @hollyhoodbaybay welcome to the Untouchable Empire @MaybachMusicGrp !!!!!!”

What it all means is still speculative as neither artist has commented on the terms of the deal the time of press, but Louisiana and Texas will tell you Hollyhood Bay Bay earned his stripes.

Bay Bay’s name has a familiar ring to many Hip-Hop fans across the country as his name is chanted in Hurricane Chris’ song “A Bay Bay” released in 2007 on his project, 51/50 Ratchett, a project some Hip-Hop historians regard as the start of the “ratchet” movement now popular across the country.

In the song Hurricane Chris pays respect to DJ Hollyhood Bay Bay, who then spun records at KoKo Pellis, a club in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Bay Bay was reportedly so popular that the crowd would chant “Ay, Bay Bay, Ay, Bay Bay” whenever he’d enter the club and it soon became part of the local nomenclature when “Bay Bay” entered the scene.

DJ Hollyhood Bay Bay was also mentioned on the Source’s Power 30 list having played a key role in many of the records that surfaced out of Louisiana and Texas over the past 10 years.

Earlier this year Rick Ross also made a move to sign DJ Scream’s stamping his Hoodrich Entertainment brand as well, no word on if Ross plans on signing any other DJs as of now.

More news as details emerge.

Rick Ross is allegedly in some trouble with the Gangster Disciples gang in Alabama, and to prove their point, the goons have made a YouTube video to express just how much they hate Ricky Rozay. How very 21st Century of them.

In the video, the leader of the GD crew leads about 15-20 male and female gang members to chant “Disciples,” while several male members take turns addressing Rick Ross, urging him to “check in” with them before someone checks in with him. The gang members claim that Rick Ross will not be able to step foot in Alabama for a show or for anything unless he “pays his dues” to them. Check out the World Star video below:

Damn, either Rick Ross needs to stay clear and free of Alabama, or he needs to hire a special forces team to accompany him next time he has any business there! UH!

(AllHipHop News Feature) When President Barack Obama came into office in 2008, he had more celebrity fans than any other President in history. Here, some four years later, the celebrity crowd is still behind the President, and have been campaigning for him all over the country.

Just yesterday (November 5), two of the biggest stars in the world, Jay-Z and Bruce Springsteen, campaigned with the president in Columbus, Ohio on his final day of campaigning.

Throughout the year, AllHipHop.com caught up with some of the top celebrities and asked them if they thought President Obama should be reelected. Kevin Hart, who mentioned that he also donates to the president’s campaign, kept it funny, saying that he was voting for Obama because he’s “supposed to.”

“I talked to him, and I told him to his face that I was going to vote for him,” said Kevin Hart. “I’m a Barack fan, and he got dealt a bad hand, and it’s great to see him turn that hand into a good hand.”

Proud New York artist Jadakiss also believes that President Obama should be reelected.

“I’d like to see President Obama get another term, why not?” said Jadakiss. “They let all those other suckers get another term; let’s get Obama back!”

Watch the exclusive video below featuring Kevin Hart, Jadakiss, Terrence J, Olivia, Bobby V, and more, as they speak on why they are voting for President Barack Obama in today’s election – and why you should, too!

Editor’s Note: Today (November 6) is Election Day and if you haven’t already, please make sure to get out and vote!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Will Barack Lose Because WE Didn’t Show Up?

I hope you are well and healthy. This is a second where I want to be serious. I know a lot of you hated my article The Illseed Endorsement: The Frivolous Reasons Why You Should Vote For Barack Obama.

RELATED: The Illseed Endorsement: The Frivolous Reasons Why You Should Vote For Obama!

The story wasn’t meant to be serious or real. You get lots of “real” reasons to vote for a candidate. They are on AHH and other media outlets like CNN, BET, MSNBC and more. Anyway, the game is serious now and its time to vote. I hope, whoever you vote for, that you actually go out and vote. It makes a difference, people died for this right and change starts with our generation. Some cats want to discourage people from voting but the may be COINTELPRO agents for all I know. Shout out to people that fought for this right to vote just a couple decades ago.

Shyne Talks 2012 Election and What Matters to Him

By: Mikey T The Movie Star Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) Today is the most important dates in United States politics and just like the rest of the country, rappers are buzzing about today’s presidential election.

Just yesterday, Boston rapper EDO G dropped a diss track aimed at hometown Governor Mitt Romney, in support of President Barack Obama. 

Today, former U.S. resident Moses “Shyne” Levi weighed in on today’s presidential election and who he hopes will be the next leader of the United States.

“It really boils down to my feelings on the President’s foreign policy. I feel [that] he is dangerous for the world.. The American economy is not going to find the stability it needs to grow if you have a leader like Barack Obama,” Shyne told AllHipHop.com. “He is naive, he’s just not up to it. America has never played the side line when it came to foreign policy. When it came to international affairs , America has always been on the forefront. The President of the United States is supposed to be the most powerful man on the planet”

Shyne does not believe President Barack Obama deserves a second term and believes that we should give Mitt Romney a chance to prove himself

“People vote along the lines of abortion, I vote along those lines. People may say what is Romney is going to do, but I feel he deserves a chance. Obama had his chance. He came with all his “Yes We Can” “Theres Going to be a Change” and I didn’t see that. I didn’t see none of that. To me he’s a great talker. He’s all rhetoric, articulate and a great orator. But where I’m from talk don’t mean nothing ..Shyne can’t get a second chance..Obama can’t get a second. I don’t get a second chance right? I made one mistake and I’m paying for it 15 years later.”
