Have you thought of Hip-Hop Honors? I have. I have long thought and heard that Hip-Hip Honors was quietly phased out after it began to seemingly lose steam. But the series was one of the mainstream main stays that paid homage to Hip-Hop’s legends. Well, I have some rumors for you here. I am hearing rumors that they are now bringing Hip-Hop Honors back in the year 2012. Here is the catch. My sources are telling me that this indeed will be the LAST Hip-Hop Honors! So, for all you rappers that feel they deserve honoring…get Fab 5 Freddy and them on the line FAST!

Do you even remember Hip-Hop Honors?

(AllHipHop News)
Dipset rapper Juelz Santana was arrested earlier this week and hit with a charge for making terroristic threats.

TMZ.com reports that Juelz was busted earlier in the week for making unspecified threats.

When police attempted to search the rap star’s car, he refused and the vehicle was subsequently impounded.

Juelz was booked into jail and was released later on $46,500 bail.

This is not the first time Juelz Santana has been arrested for making threats against an individual.

In August of 2009, the rapper, born LaRon James, was arrested for threatening his girlfriend with a knife during a dispute that turned physical.

His most recent arrest came in February of 2010, when the Bergen County gang task force raided his studio.

In that incident, police uncovered two 9mm handguns, as well as 17 small baggies of marijuana, after a ten-month investigation into alleged gang activity in the studio.

Juelz Santana and group member Jim Jones consider themselves Bloods, the largest and most notorious street gang in New Jersey.

By: Jake CratesCategory: NewsNovember 11, 2011

No Limit Records Forever founder/rap mogul Master P. is planning a return to rap with the release of a new album titled TMZ – Too Many Zeros.

The news of the album comes three years after Master P announced a name change, in addition to a hiatus from the rapping side of the business.

Now, Master P. says he has adjusted to the digital age and new forms of marketing.

The rapper, born Percy Miller, is the leader of what many regard as one of the greatest independent rap label of all time, having sold over 75 million records worldwide, to date.

“I named this new record TMZ Too Many Zeros because it’s true when they say ‘more money… more problems’,” Master P. told AllHipHop.com. “I’m on my Donald Trump swag. I could lose it all and get it back in 72 days. Good or bad, when the media is on you that means you are still relevant.”

Looking to push the artists that he and his son Romeo have found, Master P has a number of new artists to introduce to the world.

Bengie B is the next artist that Master P. will introduce to the streets, while Miss Chee, T-Bo, Black Don, Eastwood’s T.E.C. and his latest signing, Catalina Toma, all add to the labels music.

In addition to announcing a new roster for his label, Master P. wants to make sure that fans are on the look out for the upcoming movie and the soundtrack for “Get Money,” which costars Gucci Mane.

TMZ Too Many Zeros is due in stores in early 2012.
