The Outlawz Drop “Warning Shots” Aimed At Funkmaster Flex

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop group The Outlawz have dropped a scathing diss record aimed at Funkmaster Flex, after the popular New York radio host made controversial remarks about late rapper Tupac Shakur.

The new song, titled, “Warning Shots”, is a 3:52 second record against Funk Flex, after footage of the Hot 97 radio host surfaced late sharing his opinion on Tupac Shakur on the stage.

“F**k n**gas sucking Tupac’s d**k. I don’t suck Tupac’s d**k. Make some noise is you miss f**king Biggie Smalls!” Funkmaster Flex during a clip of a show that surfaced on YouTube.com.

Earlier this week, Funkmaster Flex clarified his remarks about Tupac Shakur during his popular New York show and defended his position about Tupac.

“Let me be the first one to say not only do I respect his music, I respect what he put down,” Funkmaster Flex said. “I respect the records he made, the records he sold, his positive energy in the beginning, the great records he made and I know how passionate he was about his music.”

Flex further stated that although he respected Tupac Shakur’s legacy, he still felt that Pac brought a negative energy to Hip-Hop while he was alive.

Funkmaster Flex’s clarification obviously wasn’t good enough for The Outlawz, who label Funkmaster Flex a “mutt,” “p**sy” and a “queer” accusing the DJ of pay-for-play.

“What he was saying on stage that night that was stirring up more of that negative energy,” E.D.I. recently told XXL Magazine. “So I don’t know what he was trying to accomplish by doing that. I really feel like he was just playin’ to the crowd…because you can’t say you don’t like his negative energy when that’s all you doing is stirring it back up.”

The song ends with a clip of Tupac dissing Funkmaster Flex.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Will Growing Your Own Food Be Illegal

Remember when you had a lil garden in the back or something? No? Yea? Well there is a terrible possibility on the horizon. Will it soon be illegal to grow your own food? How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? Though our food appears the same as ever — a tomato still looks like a tomato — it has been radically transformed. In Food Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner and investigative authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) lift the veil on our U.S. food industry, revealing surprising facts about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we may go from here.

On the flip side, S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. Source says, “If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes.”

Sorry that the vid doesn’t completely match up with the sign…but you get it.

FARMERS, WE LOVE YOU!They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

Kanye West’s 9-Minute Monologue

Kanye West went in…watch this and comment. Anybody can get it. Even Taylor Swift.

Here is the partial rant.

And now we are mere surfaces of the energy they are projecting on us. Everybody needs a villain, don’t we? We need to blame someone at all times. For me to be considered a racist for stating a blatant truth, an obvious truth, but the nuances of my words, because I am very particular with my words, and the emotion I felt at that time wasn’t worded exactly right — but everybody came and said ‘Oh my God!” — I’m talking about five years ago, not a year ago, I’m talking about five years ago, I’m talking about Katrina — and everybody said, “Oh my God, Kanye, I love you so much, I hated you until you said that. But now I see you’re speaking for me. I always thought you were an a###### but now you said something that represents me, but the whole time, whole time I’m thinking in my mind I was thinking that’s not exactly what I wanted to say, I was emotional, that was not exactly the way I wanted to say, I was emotional, that was not exactly the way I wanted to word it, but I wrote it, I rode it, just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the waves and rode it and rode it, that’s the way I rode the waves of the Bush comment. I rode it. It’s not about popular opinion. It’s about when you look in your heart, and know what’s right and what’s wrong. When you look in your heart, look at what the media did, look at how they exploited him, they said that he said it was his lowest moment and as a mass, as America, we took that as a fact, and if you look at the interview he said that was one of his lowest moments and he said it about ten different things! But because the popularity of me, they exploited that, to make you watch the interview and make you feel that he was stupider than ever, to think that a rapper’s comment could be his lowest moment. That’s not what he f###### said! That’s not what he f###### said! That’s not what he said! He said it was one of his lowest moments. But it shows you — the way they try to villainize, the way they tried to do that. Everything would have been okay, if they hadn’t played the audio that day … ”

ChartWatch: The Charts Are Poppin’ With Rihanna, Nelly, Lil Wayne & More!

ChartWatch For November 24, 2010Happy Thanksgiving to all the readers out

there.  Here’s the charts for Hip

Hop this week.

 As usual, I don’t normally include an R&B

act unless they are in the top ten. 

Rihanna enters the top of the charts this week with her fourth studio

album Loud.  She holds the

number three spot selling 206,018 copies.

 She is followed by an artist that I didn’t even

that would enter the charts this week. 

At least I didn’t expect him to crack the top ten.  I promised last week that if Nelly

entered the charts I would take back what I said about him, and, inexplicably,

the St. Louis artist takes the number ten spot with his sixth studio album, 5.0.  Nelly moves 62,454 copies of his latest

venture.  I didn’t think it was

going to happen but apparently Nelly still has a few fans out there.

Next up is Eminem whose seventh studio album, Recovery, drops eights spots

landing at number 18. This brings the Detroit MC’s total sales to

3,005,820.  Eminem has hit the

triple platinum mark in only about 5 months.

 Kid Cudi plummets from the number three spot to

number twenty five this week with his sophomore album Man on the Moon 2: The

Legend of Mr. Rager.  This brings the

G.O.O.D. Music artist’s total sales to 201,105.

Lil Wayne follows Cudi with his latest EP, I

Am Not A Human Being.  This week the Young

Money CEO lands at the number twenty eight spot and sells 27,906.  So far, the New Orleans MC has sold

473,906. 

 And finally, Cee Lo Green takes a thirty one

spot fall and lands at the forty second position with his third solo album, The

Lady Killer.  The Goodie Mob MC has so

far sold 61,979 copies.

Dropping This Week

 Well it’s been about a month but we finally have

some albums coming out that are worthwhile for Hip Hop.  I know people are expecting me to start

with Nicki Minaj or Kanye West but those albums have already been reviewed to

death for the past 2 weeks.  (Let’s

be honest, most of you have been listening to those albums for the last two

weeks.)  Let’s start off with an

artist that has been in the game since the No Limit days and has been

consistently putting out good music. Curren$y drops his second major studio

album, Pilot Talk II  this week.  The soulful sound of the album is

mostly handled by producer Ski Beatz. 

The album features minimal guest appearances, with Fiend and  Raekwon being the only features outside

of the rapper’s Jets crew.

 

Next up is an album that has already received a

perfect rating by the Rolling Stone. 

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West’s fifth studio album, drops

this week and is already (prematurely) being given “classic” status.  (I mean, I like Kanye, but the album

leaked three weeks ago and people are already claiming that it’s changing Hip

Hop.  Let’s see how we feel about

it in a few months.  Remember when

the Source gave that Lil Kim album 5 mics?  You still listen to that Lil Kim album?  Was it a classic?  Really?  Name a song off it………..I’ll wait).  Kanye’s latest offering features Jay-Z,

Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz, Prynce Cy Hi, John

Legend, Raekwon, and The RZA. 

Production is handled by 

RZA, No ID, Mike Dean, Plain Pat, Jeff Bhasker, Anthony Kilhoffer, and

of course, Kanye himself. 

 

Last, 

Nicki Minaj drops her debut album, Pink Friday.  The album features guest appearances by

Eminem, Rihanna, Drake, will.i.am, Kanye West, and Natasha Bedingfield. 

 

I’m sure we’ll see these artist on the charts

next week.  While your out this

Friday trying to get a 50 inch TV or whatever else Walmart has on sale, pick up

an album or two.

Willow Smith Says Tupac Is Her Favorite Rapper

(AllHipHop News) Funkmaster Flex may not be the biggest fan of Tupac Shakur, but the 10-year-old Willow Smith is a fan of the deceased rapper. Willow Smith became a fan of Tupac through her mother, Jada Pinkett-Smith, who was best friends with the rapper since they met in Baltimore, where Tupac attended theater classes early in his career. During an interview with Nnette on Madd Hatta’s morning show, on 97.9 The Box in Houston, Willow Smith detailed her love for Tupac, as well as other musicians. “He was my mom’s his best friend,” said Willow, who added that she was fan of Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Billy Idol, B.O.B. and Eminem, although she labeled Tupac as her favorite. Willow also described meeting Roc Nation CEO Jay-Z for the first time. “It was really fun,” Willow said. “He was really welcoming, and he was funny, supporting and I just felt welcomed.”

Riot Breaks Out Over Webbie No-Show; Two Officers Injured In Melee

(AllHipHop News) A riot broke out a show in Waco, Texas on Saturday night (November 20th), after popular Baton Rogue, Louisiana rapper Webbie skipped a show, resulting in the injury of two police officers.Webbie was slated to perform at The Ranch last weekend, but never showed up for the date. Promoters announced the cancelation around 2:00am, just before the venue was supposed to close. According to eye-witness reports, promoters told the crowd that Webbie’s brother had called and told them the rapper had overdosed on pills and was in Temple Hospital in Waco.The announcement infuriated fans inside the venue and others, who were still waiting outside in hopes of gaining entrance to see Webbie, who is known for hit singles like “Gimme Dat” “Bad B**ch” “Swerve” “Like That” and “Independent.”Over 25 people began fighting, turning over tables and shooting in the air, causing the crowd to scurry for cover. Waco’s entire police department was called to the scene and had to throw tear gas into The Ranch in order to disperse the unruly crowd.A 20-year-old man was charged with assault and resisting arrest when officers attempted to subdue the man. One officer sustained a broken rib, while the other sprained his wrist in the fracas. The promoter for the failed event claims Webbie offered to come back and host a free show for fans in Waco, Texas. Webbie and his incarcerated partner Lil Boosie have a well documented history of missing shows for various reasons. The pair were the subjects of several multi-million dollar lawsuits from 2007-2009, including one for $1 million over a failed show in Baltimore.

Hip-Hop Rumors: 50 Cent’s Detox? New Morning Team In NYC! Drunk Santa!

THE DAILY TWO SENSE

I haven’t done one of these in a minute. Maybe I just didn’t have anything to say. But now, I do. This outburst from Funkmaster Flex has me vexed. We all know how deep the waters ran in the so-called “East / West Beef,” right? Maybe not, but we have a clue. So, why in God’s name would Flex go that hard at Tupac and dude has been dead since the year 1996? I mean, we’ve all had our enemies and certainly you can opted to liberally p### on their graves if you want. But, a man as well-known and beloved as Pac…? Furthermore, I never knew Flex to be so boisterous and angry when Pac was alive…so, what’s that all about? Last, but not least, whether you loved or hated Pac, we can all agree that level of division in rap is NOT GOOD and Flexy, in a moment of excitement, totally turned a lot of people off. No hate here. I just don’t understand.If Jay-Z, The Outlawz Nas and others and let that mess go…why can’t Flex?

10 YEARS FOR THE NEXT 50 CENT ALBUM?

So, is 50 Cent quietly retiring? Not to say that he is or anything, but he is referring to his next album as his “Detox.” As you know, we are slowly seeing the Detox (Dr. Dre’s) is on the way. So, 50 Cent may not be retiring, but he says he has recorded over 20 songs and scrapped them. And he’s continually recording and won’t release them utiil they are perfect. Something tells me somebody is thinking very hard about their legacy in the game.

POWER 105 GETS A NEW MORNING TEAM

Hot 97 has their Jew, Black, Puerto Rican team and now Power 105 has fired back after letting Ed Lover go. They have brought in Angela Yee, Charlemagne The God and DJ Envy to do their new morning show. Now, that’s on hell of a team right there. I fully expect crazy things from them. On the flip side…hmmm…there is no flip side.

JAY-Z AND OPRAH IN AUSTRAILIA

Damn. I’m starting to feel some kind of way about my path in life. LOL.

SEAN PRICE TALKS KID CUDI AND NOT IN A NICE WAY!

ILLSEED’s QUICKIES

Kids, North Korea and South Korea are fighting and bombing each other. The world is coming to an end. S. Korea is mean.

Go google that, homeboy!

That rumor about 50 Cent’s site getting hacked was utter trash.

A new dude is being purported as the new, gay White Superhead. Dude worked at a spa in Hollywood and say he’s outing all the gays including, but not limited to John Travolta, John Amos, John Cusack, Jeremy Piven, Pauly Shore, George Michael, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Billy Zane, and the already gay Andy Dick. They beat dude up and he wrote a book. Pause.

Fantasia aborted her man’s baby. I don’t think it helped that Cook was married.

Xtina Mili got $4 milli from The Dream. With $5k a month. She can’t stop working.

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

Santa drunk?

Damn, homey…last year you was the man homey!

Is that you Kid Cudi?????????DRUNK SANTA, WE LOVE YOU!They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!
