As one of the top Hip-Hop websites on the globe, AllHipHop.com is privileged to interview some of the premiere names in urban entertainment. But, at the end of the day, we know that rappers and industry folks are humans, too – and like humans, they do and say some crazy, zany stuff.

Read ahead and enjoy AllHipHop.com staff’s “Top Video Interview Moments of 2011” – jam packed with funnies, shockers, and OMG moments:

#10 The Game Proposes To His Girl And Lets AllHipHop.com Say “Awwwwww”

In October 2011, The Game showed up at an elementary school to pop the question to his girlfriend/baby mama to his two children, Tiffany. AllHipHop.com’s camera was there for an exclusive bird’s-eye view of the proposal. Watch the clip and feel the love:

#9 Smoke DZA and Seandra Share Doobies and Revelations in Harlem

Harlem MC Smoke DZA is heavily known for his affection for herbals. And, as AllHipHop.com’s Seandra Sims found out in August 2011, DZA can (and will) multi-task his habit during interviews. The “Kushed god” twists up the green and then finds out just how far his star has risen, right before the release of his album, Rolling Stoned:

#8 Diddy On Chuck’s Back Then Shouting Out Grouchy on 106^th & Park

While this didn’t technically happen in 2011, it was within the last calendar (and we really like it, so we included it – what?). Bad Boy head honcho Diddy must have been drinking too many Red Bulls this day on 106^th& Park, as he gives a super, super hype shout-out to AllHipHop co-founders Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur and Grouchy Greg. Hey, that’s just Diddy, so “take that, take that”:

**BONUS: This is almost as good as last year when Jay-Z gave us 10 shout-outs:

#7 AllHipHop.com Is The Cool Kid Who Knows All The Other Cool Kids

Sorry, haters. Over the years, AllHipHop.com has interviewed just about every major name in the rap industry, and made some fans and friends in the process. 2011 was no different, as we crossed the country (and the Internet), and collected shout-outs galore:

Southwest By Southwest Festival (Austin, Texas, March 2011)

2011 Rock The Bells Festival/Tour (New York City, September 2011)

2011 AllHipHop.com Site Relaunch (World Wide Web, October 2011)

#6 Dear Mama!!! Yes, The Outlawz DID Smoke Tupac’s Ashes!

The rumor has circulated for quite some time among the rap world that the late Tupac’s protégée group, The Outlawz, had done the unthinkable – smoke Shakur’s ashes. Some even said that his mother, Afeni Shakur, had given them permission, per her son’s wishes. That part wasn’t true, but watch the clip from September 2011, as they tell AllHipHop.com staffer, JP DelaCuesta, the real-real:

#5 Immortal Technique Likes Seandra But Will Have Other Chicks Thrown Down Stairs

Rapper Immortal Technique is respected worldwide for his brash, intelligent lyrics and militant views, but in September 2011 when Seandra asks why he seems so calm and charming in person, he has a surprising answer that involves…chick fights? Take a look:

#4 A$AP Rocky Tells JP He Will Smack The Sh*t Outta Who???

Harlem hot boy A$AP Rocky is known for throwing a temper tantrum from time to time…remember that little Fader Fort incident a while back? When JP interviewed him in October 2011, his frustration bubbled over at a certain Cali rap group member who had tweeted recklessly about him. Knuck if you buck, and watch the clip:

#3 A Dog Roams Free – DMX Lets AllHipHop.com Film Him Getting Out of Prison

The sad truth is, we’ve kinda gotten used to DMX being incarcerated. He’s been locked up at least once each year for the past decade. But, we have much love for the homie, so it was a celebration back in July 2011 when he gave our camera crews exclusive access to him leaving prison. Stay free, X!

#2 Chuck Helps Amber Rose Tell Kanye West To Let It Go

If it wasn’t already clear that Amber Rose had moved on from Kanye West by her yearlong love fest with Wiz Khalifa, she set the record straight during an interview with Chuck in November 2011. Just the day before, Kanye had freestyled an ex-lover’s lament at the “Watch The Throne” tour stop in Amber’s hometown of Philly. As this clip shows, uhhh, ‘Ye…no haps:

#1 Gina Is Unfazed By A High and Impatient Jim Jones

Dipset rapper Jim Jones has seen his star shine a little brighter with the success of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop,” and his lady, Chrissy, has been right by his side. But in April 2011, when AllHipHop.com’s Gina Torres tries to ask him about Chrissy’s influence on his business decisions, oddly, Jim wasn’t having it. We’re still don’t know why, but it sure makes for good train wreck TV – just watch:

AHH Stray News: Gucci Home, Wu-Tang, Odd Future “Paid Dues,” Yelawolf In Colorado

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: NewsDecember 14, 2011

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane is back on the streets after being released from prison yesterday (December 13). Gucci was released after serving three months out of a six month sentence, for battery and assault over an incident last January. The rapper was accused of pushing a woman out of his moving vehicle, after she refused his sexual advances. According to reports, Gucci was released from the Fulton County Jail for good behavior. Gucci Mane’s freedom comes on the heels of his recently released collaboration album BAYTL with female rapper V-Nasty, which landed in stores on Tuesday.

Wu-Tang Clan and Odd Future are headlining the 7th annual Paid Dues festival this year at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino California. The annual festival, which is organized by rapper Murs and Guerilla Union, will feature a number of the top Hip-Hop acts from around the country, in addition to the headlining acts. “I am honored this year to have two of the most impactful Hip-Hop collectives in history headline this year’s Paid Dues,” noted festival founder and independent Hip-Hop pioneer Murs. “Wu-Tang entered the game in the early 90’s and changed everything. And Odd Future has already made an enormous impression in their own right and just a few years in. To have these two dynamic forces on the same stage on the same night is almost unimaginable but only right that it take place at Paid Dues. This and so much more to be announced in the upcoming weeks has me really looking forward to our 7th year of Paid Dues.” Paid Dues will take place Saturday, April 7, 2011. More details will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets will be available to the general public starting Saturday, December 17 at 10am PST.

Rapper Yelawolf will help kick off the Winter Dew Tour’s Nike Open, which is taking place in Breckenridge Colorado from December 15-18. A number of top names in snowboarding and freeskiing will hit the mountain during the Winter Dew Tour. Athletes like Shaun White, Kelly Clark, Louie Vito and Simon Dumont will participate in the weekend’s activities. In addition to Yelawolf, The Knux will hit the stage for a performance, with both of the acts’ proceeds going to charity. The event will air on NBC this weekend.

POLICE STATE: DEAD PREZ

2012 NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT

The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was passed by a vote of 93-7 , on Dec. 1, 2011. President Obama vows to veto the bill , even though he asked for the same powers in May 2009:
PROLONGED DETENTION : ( A TALE OF TWO SPEECHES )

The controversy arises because the 2012 NDAA strips away due process protections ( Right to bail, confront witnesses , challenge detention , etc. ) for whomever is targeted under the law.

The law would cover those who aid al-Qaida , the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States, including anyone who has “committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.” The term “ Belligerent act “ , is not defined , nor is who defines it. What can qualify as a belligerent act? Occupy Wall street protests? Twitter post? Drug case like former Bad Boy Artist “ LOON “ , charged under the Patriot Act for a drug case?

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: NewsDecember 13, 2011

(AllHipHop News) Female rap veteran Charlie Baltimore is poised to make a return to hip-hop with an upcoming album due to be released next year.

The Grammy Award nominated rapper, born Tiffany Lane, recently dropped a new single titled “Machine Gun,” featuring Sally Anthony.

The track is meant to reintroduce Charli Baltimore before the release of her solo album, which is due in stores this April.

Although she’s a rap veteran through her affiliation with rappers like Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Cam’ron, Ja Rule, Game and others, Charli Baltimore has never released
a solo album.

Her first album Cold As Ice was supposed to be released in 1999, but the album never saw the light of day.

In 2003, her next album The Diary (You Think You Know was supposed to be released through Murder Inc., but the release was also shelved.

“Machine Gun” is due in stores on iTunes on December 20.

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY: Frank Lucas Arrested On Social Security Charges

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: RumorsDecember 13, 2011

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY

Oh oh…it looks like Frank Lucas isn’t still an American Gangster…or an American Prankster. I don’t know. The word on the street…or in the Offices of Social Security is that the former drug mogul has been charged with theft by deception for misleading the U.S. Treasury. The king of Harlem, who now lives in Newark, NJ, apparently told the Social Security people that he lost a check or two. They they replaced it. And he cashed both. Now he is trying to keep his 80-something butt out of jail.

Drake’s Take Care (YM/CM/Universal Rep.), dropped from #4 to the #7 spot after selling 71,953 units in its fourth week. The album most likely will reach platinum status by this time next week, as it’s just under 10,000 copies away from reaching the mark. Today, Drake released the dates for his Club Paradise Tour, which will kick off in February with Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky.
