Hip-Hop Rumors: A Tale of Two “Crew Loves” – The Drake Vs The Roc
Swiped from illseed.com…
(Opinion) I can’t take it no more. I type “crew love” in google and guess what I find? The Weeknd and Drake. No surprises here, right? Well, I have an issue with this because these fools have basically erased the original “Crew Love.” “Crew Love” is originally a gangster *ss song by Jay Z Ft. Beanie Siegel & Memphis Bleek. The song goes hard body and Jay is actually only on the hook. I want everybody to stop listened to Drake’s crew love and listen to Beanie and Bleek! This is why people are so soft these days. Listen to “Crew Love!”
The Roc’s “Crew Love”
The Drake’s “Crew Love”
Just look at the pic!
Non Hip-Hop Rumors: Rihanna Gets Evil In New Movie?
Swiped from illseed.com…
(Rumors) Rihanna is about to get straight up evil if the rumors are correct. No, she’s not throwing bricks through anybody’s flat screen like she used to do with Chris Brown! No, I am hearing that she is getting her way deep into Hollywood with a new movie – Fast and Furious 6/Fast Six. Seriously, how many of these godawful movies are they going to make? Vin Diesel has to be happen since this is the only movie he appears in these days. Nevertheless, word on the block Rihanna is set to be in the movie as a villain.
According to The UK Sun, a source said, “Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in Battleship. Writers think she’ll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn’t take any prisoners — just like her in real life. It’s a step up the ladder for her and could lead to bigger action roles.’”
Not a lot more else to say other than RiRi may be playing along side of Vin Diesel, The Rock and Paul Walker.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Azealia Banks Replaces Nicki Minaj At The MET Gala
It looks like newcomer Azealia Banks has other things going on besides trying to humiliate T.I. on twitter. The rapstress has announced that she will be performing at the upcoming Costume Institute Gala at the MET, tweeting the following:
“I’ve Been invited to Perform for PRADA next week in NYC! Gonna b so lush !! Let’s see what new songs I debut there! #metball2012.
But according to Page Six, Banks was not their first choice and instead got the nod because Nicki Minaj never signed her contract, leaving the organizers scrambling to find a replacement.
Banks’ tweets were removed a short time later.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kanye West Denies Rumors Of Domestic Violence
I see how Kanye West does it. He doesn’t do press, but when there is something he needs to get out, he says it in a rap song. We’ve seen this a lot recently. So, now…he’s doing it again. A week or so ago, the dude was accused of beating on his ex-fiancee Alexis. Well, this just didn’t happen, according to Kanye West. What did he do? he jumped on a track from an obscure Chicago rapper and spit about it. I guess he’s not obscure anymore now that Ye got Pusha T, Jadakiss and Big Sean on the remix of “I Don’t Like.” Oh, his name is Chief Keef and he’s only 19 years old. (Bet you $10 dude’s real name is Keith.) Anyway, on the track, Kanye says “A girl will run her mouth only out of spite, but I’ll never hit a woman in my life.” Very simple, but he ends up answering the question and responding to the rumors.
Here is the song:
In related news, the producer Young Chop is LIVID that somebody, he thinks Kanye, changed the beat up on his original track. “I’m mad as hell, I’m mad as f**k for the simple fact that they did not ask me to change up s**t in my beat. They don’t have no files to none of my s**t, so how the f**k did they add another melody over the instrumental. These mother f*ckers are playing me, and I don’t give 2 f**ks, I will sue the s**t out of Kanye West, and he needs to call my phone right now before I snap. I don’t like that, that s**t is disrespectful.”
Chill Chop! This remix goes hard. Take yo credit, big bro. LOL! Chop is talking a lil’ too much in the clip below.
2 Chainz Named Spokesman For 2012 “Respect My Vote!” Campaign
(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz is teaming with the Hip Hop Caucus for the 2012 2012 “Respect My Vote!” campaign.
The Hip Hop Caucus’ non-partisan effort is aimed at mobilizing young voters between the ages of 18 and 40, registering new voter, and teaching felons about their voting rights.
“It meant so much to me when I learned that I had the right to vote, because I’m an ex-felon, who has been blessed with the opportunity to completely turn my life around and become a positive influence to my family and community. It’s very important that once disenfranchised men and women know they can be a part of American democracy again, they have second chance,“ said 2 Chainz. “I’m honored to be a spokesperson for the 2012 ‘Respect My Vote!’ campaign, and to be a part of a movement where celebrities and the community can work together to promote empowerment through political participation.”
According to Reverend Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, 2 Chainz was specifically selected for his ability to speak to the “Respect My Vote!” target audience, in an authentic manner.
A broad, national coalition of civic engagement organizations are backing the campaign, which will work to counter misinformation disseminated about felons’ and their rights.
The issue disproportionately impacts over 1.4 African-American males.
“Lives will be changed and lives will be saved because 2 Chainz is using his voice to speak authentically to those who have been disenfranchised,” said Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., President and CEO of the Hip Hop Caucus. “2 Chainz is serious about empowering ex-felons to exercise their right to vote, and I’m so sincerely and deeply proud to be able to show the world that this is what democracy looks like.”

Sha Stimuli Releases May Offering From “Rent Tape Series”; Discusses Retirement and New Career As An Author
(AllHipHop News) Another month in 2012 means another new mixtape from Sha Stimuli will be released, and the Brooklyn lyricist made good on his promise by releasing May’s offering from his “Rent Tape Series” titled The Trueman Show.
Sha Stimuli’s website provided the following description of his newest mixtape: “The Trueman Show is an authentic look into Sha’s life using his music to convey his continuing struggles in the rap game, stepping into the world of the 9-5er and his love/hate relationship with the life that he left behind and what is not visible in the future, and the rise and fall of his personal and professional relationships (or is it just a metaphor). While we’ve heard Sha’s message before, we’ve not truly heard it like this, a cleansing of the soul, while rising up like the Phoenix from the ashes.”
The eight-track mixtape features appearances from Kebba, Lydia Caesar, Lela Bizz, and Lee Wilson while The Trueman Show’s production comes from the likes of J. Cardim, Agorr, The Epixx, and Louis G.
The Trueman Show is available now for purchase at Sha’s Bandcamp website for $4.99.
