Big Sean Ft. Drake

“Made”

Rapper Seeks to Break Guinness Record With 52 Hour Freestyle

(AllHipHop News) Today

(May 3) DJ Green

Arrow is seeking to establish a new Guinness record by embarking on 52

hour freestyle.

Arrow,

who is based out of Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, will

start freestyling this afternoon. The majority of the rhymes will be in

12 hour intervals, with the rapper taking hour breaks to recover before

stopping at 52 hours.

Naming

the event “Suckas Need Bodyguards,” DJ Green Arrow is framing his event

as a tribute to recently deceased legends Guru and Roc Raida, and all

Hip-Hop fans worldwide. Also, the rapper has emphasized that all his

rhymes will be 100% improvised and inspired by what he sees.

“5.5

hours until I begin rapping for 12 hours, taking an hour break, and

then repeating that 4 times,” Arrow posted on his Facebook page earlier

this morning. “[I’m] stopping when I get to the showing of “The Other

Side of Hip Hop”, at Maysles Cinema, 7PM [on] Wednesday night (May 5).

52 hours is a lot and there is always something to rhyme about in New

York City.”

Before

arriving at Harlem’s Maysles Cinema, Arrow plans to make stops in every

New York borough along with brief visits to northern New Jersey and

Bridgeport, Connecticut over the next two days.

Fans interested in viewing updates through Wednesday can visit DJ Green Arrow’s personal website at www.djgreenarrow.com or his Facebook account (www.facebook.com/djgreenarrow).Correction: The current official holder of the world record is Wu-Tang Clan affiliate M-Eight, with a time of 9 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds.

Rapper Says Lil Wayne, Producers Stole “Lollipop” In New Lawsuit

(AllHipHop News) Jailed rapper Lil Wayne has been hit with another lawsuit surrounding his hit 2008 single “Lollipop,” taken from his hit album Tha Carter III. Philadelphia rapper/musician Dirahn Gilliams filed the lawsuit in United States District Court Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Friday (April 30th), claiming Lil Wayne’s song “Lollipop” was based on his 2007 track “Grindin’ Like a Goon.” Defendants in the lawsuit include Lil’ Wayne, producer Darius “Deezle” Harrison, James “Jim Jonsin” Scheffer, Rex Zamor, Cash Money, Young Money and Universal. According to Gilliams, in April or May of 2007, he sent copies to a number of people in the industry, including Flo Rida, Briscoe, executive Kevon Glickmon and producers Deezle and Jim Jonsin. He claims that Young Money received a copy of his track through one of these entities, although Briscoe, Glickmon and Flo-Rida are not named in the lawsuit. Gilliams claims that Deezle, Jonsin and Rex Zamor illegally used portions of his “Grindin’ Like A Goon” and turned it into “Lollipop,” which was a huge hit for Lil Wayne in 2008 and has been certified 4X Platinum by the RIAA. Gilliams is seeking an injunction to prevent further sales of Tha Carter III and “Lollipop,” in addition to monetary damages, lost profits, actual damages, restitution and compensatory and punitive damages. Ironically, both Deezle and Jim Jonsin are suing Lil Wayne as well. In February, Deezle filed a lawsuit claiming Lil Wayne owes him $2.5 million dollars in unpaid royalties for the single “Mrs. Officer.”Jonsin slapped Lil Wayne with a $500,000 lawsuit for unpaid royalties over “Lollipop.” Additionally, producers Play-N-Skillz have voiced their displeasure with Lil Wayne and Cash Money, claiming they were never paid for their production on the track “Got Money” featuring T-Pain. In March, Lil Wayne began serving a one-year prison sentenced on Rikers Island for weapons possession.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Lil Wayne Jealous??? Beyonce’s Jay-Z Tat? Plies Give-A-Way Contest!

DISCLAIMER:

All content within this section is pure rumor

and generally have no factual info outside of what the streets have

whispered in our ear. Read on.I HOPE PLIES CAN GIVE ME SOME “PLENTY MONEY”Check out this contest with Plies! You know how he gives away all his money and jewels? Well, he turned it into a contest! Peep the video!

THE DAILY TWO SENSE

I’m going to just leave the Kat Stacks rumors alone for a minute. They were just getting too real. Other than that I hope everybody had a great weekend out there. Mine was pretty peaceful, unlike Shane Mosley, who lost to Money Mayweather. Floyd’s about to take his thing to the next level if Manny Pac wants to step up. I don’t think Pac wants any parts of Floyd. This blood thing is going to be the way out. Keep ‘em honest, Floyd. 

THE STARS CAME OUT!

Everybody was out at the fight Saturday night!

LIL WAYNE JEALOUS OF T.I.?????

I got this rumor from blogger Sandra Rose, via a reader. Not really sure how significant this is, but I figure it couldn’t hurt for a lame Monday of rumors. Apparently, Lil Wayne’s kid Reginae  isn’t in the OMG Girlz. Stay with me. If you remember, the OMG Girlz came out during the Drake / Wayne performance to “Every Girl In The World” or whatever the name of the song is. Now, Toya refuted the idea that her and Wayne’s kid was booted out of the group. Stay with me.

It would seem that Lil Wayne is the one that made Reginae leave the group. Seems like Weezy is feeling some kind of way about T.I., who I thought was a homey. These OMG Girlz are managed by Tiny, who is T.I.’s fiancée or something. And she’s also the TV friend of Toya. Well, Tip has been helping Tiny a lot with this group and a jailhouse Wayne doesn’t seem to be appreciative. Before going to jail, Wayne was supposedly supposed to record a track with the group, but it never happened. Now that T.I. is lending his “muscle” to the group, they are saying Wayne’s not down. No beef. The OMG Girlz and Reginae are still cool.

With that, I think Ice Cube’s son, rapper OMG, needs to change his name due to the OMG Girlz.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Mario is dating the best friend of Amber Rose, who is the girlfriend of Kanye West who is supposed to drop and albums this summer, which is going to be hot.

Some Bobby Brown fans are stalking me. I told you he wasn’t dead, but let me say it again THE KING OF R&B IS ALIVE! Now stop stalking me!!!

Former dermatologist’s assistant Jason Pfeiffer alleges he began a “passionate and sexual” affair with Michael Jackson in 2008. People will do anything to get some attention.

Illseed began a “passionate and sexual” relationship with Kelly Rowland in 2007. Bad rumors.

There was a rumor over the weekend that Lady Gaga got her leg amputated over the weekend. Not true.

Ryan Phillippe actually said this: “I rap really well. I can sound like Lil Wayne or Ludacris. I’m dead serious…I can spit!”

Somebody told me that Drake was a Blood based on some hand gestures he recently made. That, I don’t believe.

It just occurred to me that Lloyd Banks is on fire. LOL!

Tiger Wood’s wife is looking at about 600 million in the divorce. Oh yea. Tiger reportedly slept with about 120 babes outside of his marriage. What was his brain thinking? He needs help.

LisaRaye’s man sued her for spousal support. Get ya money, papa! LOL!

OLD, BUT GOOD!

Kena pokes fun of Steve Harvey on SNL.

 

Why did Precious attack him?

BEYONCE’S NEW TAT.

 So, is this the closest thing we get to a Jay-Z tat?

KELLY, OH, KELLY!

Me and Kelly fell out for a while. I’m sorry about Nicki, Keri and whoever else. I with Ms. Kelly!

 

AN OPEN LETTER TO DIDDY!

Looks like I am the go-to dude for open letters now. Here a fan of Hip-Hop writes and Open Letter To Diddy:

 

Dear Sean “Diddy” Combs,

First off I want to start by saying I appreciate all that you have done for Hip Hop. Well, some of what you have done. You gave us Biggie Smalls. You were there at the beginning of the career of Mary J. Blige, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul. My Life was my anthem. You introduced us to Jodeci and I was forever their lady. You invented the remix, although you ran remixing into the ground. I mention all of this just to say I really do appreciate your contributions to Hip Hop.

I have to admit, though, that I’m a little worried about what you’re next moves are. I understand that you’re a businessman and really nobody can even come close to the moves that you have made in turns of being a successful entrepreneur. It’s just that your track record of treating and keeping your artists is… less than to be desired. Craig Mack, Carl Thomas, Shyne, Black Rob, G-Depp, The Lox, Da Band. Vh1 can do a “Where Are They Now?” series just from your label roster alone. I mean, you can’t even keep a nickname! No disrespect.

So you can see why I’m a little concerned. I hear that the careers of Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj now lay in your hands. At first, I was thinking, “Okay, this is Biggie Smalls and Lil Kim 2.0, I guess. Let me see how this goes.” Then, Jay Electronica drops a single last Friday and guess who is on it? Mr. Take That himself. I understand he was channeling Biggie on the song so it kinda made sense to have you on it but still…

Full disclosure: I am a Jay Electronica fan. He spits the truth and I’m not one for bubblegum rap. “Exhibit C” was so hot, Game had to spit 300 bars on the beat. Now, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj are headed down the road towards mainstream and commercialization anyway but not Jay Electronica. Jay Electronica is near and dear to my heart so maybe I’m being a little too biased here, but I’m afraid you’ll take him under your wing and Carl Thomas him. Or Craig Mack him. Or Shyne him. Or you’ll dress him up in shiny suits and Mase him. You managing his career would be like dressing a Rottweiler up in an outfit that you would put on a Chihuahua and entering him in the Westminster Dog Show. They’re both great dogs but a Rottweiler isn’t your style.

Hip-Hop needs Jay Electronica as is. We cannot hear “take that, take that” on a Jay Electronica song. We cannot stomach you grabbing the mic at a Jay Electronica concert saying, “If you’re not drinking Ciroc, you’re drinking pee-pee!” Pee-pee? That’s a Danity Kane word. See what I mean? Rottweilers just ain’t your style. Some things are best left in its true form. Hip Hop needs the true Jay Electronica So, please, for all that is holy, do not touch his career.

Yours in Hip Hop,

Lady Iva

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

Police found a bomb inside of a car in Times Square and quickly proceeded to evacuate the area…

Peep what the AP wrote!

NEW YORK – Police found an “amateurish” but potentially powerful bomb that apparently began to detonate but did not explode in a smoking sport utility vehicle in Times Square, authorities said Sunday.

Thousands of tourists were cleared from the streets for 10 hours after two vendors alerted police to the suspicious vehicle, which contained three propane tanks, fireworks, two filled 5-gallon gasoline containers, and two clocks with batteries, electrical wire and other components, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

“We avoided what we could have been a very deadly event,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. “It certainly could have exploded and had a pretty big fire and a decent amount of explosive impact.”

The bomb appeared to be starting to detonate but malfunctioned, top police spokesman Paul Browne said Sunday.

Firefighters who arrived shortly after the first call heard a popping sound, said Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano, who described the sound as not quite an explosion.

“I think the intent was to cause a significant ball of fire,” Kelly said.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……I wonder.T.I. AND LIL WAYNE, WE LOVE YOU!!!

They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about

them then they should worry!

Splinter Cell Conviction Game Review

Developer / Publisher: UbisoftPlatform: XBOX 360Players: 1 – 2 (Multiplayer)Rating: AIn a world of replicators and imitators, the Splinter Cell series has remained one of the most original and progressive video games in recent history. It’s innovation within the stealth genre is legendary and has never faltered with bringing intense espionage storylines to life. Now on its fifth installment, Splinter Cell Conviction (Ubisoft) takes an already stellar gameplay to bigger heights with an updated cover system and other welcomed additions. Conviction brings back our usual protagonist Sam Fisher, and frankly he is not happy. The time is set to a couple of years after Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Those who might have missed the pre-cursor will be brought to speed pretty quickly through cut scenes, dialogue and bloody interrogation sequences. Sam’s daughter was killed and this unfortunate tragedy has brought back the hard boiled agent out of retirement. On top of that, these same individuals responsible for his little girl’s death are planning a major attack on Washington DC; just another day in the day and life of Sam Fisher.Conviction is all about stealth, and it doesn’t disappoint one bit. You can duck, crouch, and take cover behind any wall or object with a flick of a button. When you are in the shadows and it is impossible for your enemies to see you, the screen will turn black and white. Once you are in the light and can be spotted, the standard color scheme comes back into play. This minor but significant change adds another layer of strategy and planning to the overall experience. What is a gift and a curse in the game is the “Mark & Execute” system.  In short you can “mark” several enemies at a time with a red cursor to be executed with a Lee Harvey Oswald preciseness.  The drawback is that you have to earn those “guaranteed” hits with stealth kills. This can be a frustrating since looking specifically for stealth kills can slow you down. Additionally there are often more guys in your scope that you can “mark” causing the rest to be alerted to you presence.At your disposal are a number of weapons. You can choose from your standard silenced pistol which is more suited for stealth to more powerful automated machine guns that can take out a small army. As you progress through the game you get bonuses for completing specific goals and meeting targets. In turn you get points to upgrade your weaponry to improve accuracy, stopping power, and add different attachments to your firearms. Outside of the main campaign, we’ve got a very strong multiplayer component. You and a friend can team up as agents Archer and Kestrel and work in tandem to track down some WMD’s before it’s too late. The double team efforts change the approach to game, lending to very fun kill combinations.Hands down Conviction is the best title in Splinter Cell series and in the stealth action genre to date. The new cover system is easy to pick up and the story is wildly intense. After a few hours on the sticks with this engrossing thriller, you will find that there is a little of Sam Fisher in all of us; for better or worse.
