The Top 5 Worst Name Changes In Rap

Editor’s note: The

views expressed inside this editorial aren’t necessarily the views of

AllHipHop.com or its employees.The name change. It is the ultimate form of reinvention. Artists have long held variety of monikers to seemingly symbolize changes in

persona or accentuate progress. Prince even took it a step farther and made his

name an unpronounceable symbol, deemed “The Artist.” Hip-Hop heads,

by and large, have dramatically change their government names into these

otherworldly personalities to begin with. But, taking things further, artists

change their entertainment names to change their entertainment personas. And

some change for no apparent reason. Oh yes…it is deep.

Some of these changes are preferred and others…not so

good. Here are the good name changes and the bad moniker changes are coming up tomorrow.

1) The Game to Game

The Game has been around for quite some time and he’s firmly

entrenched in the game. Even his logo is appeasing to the eye at this point.

So, point was he trying to make when he changed his name and dropped

“The” from Game? The Game never gave a reason for dropping

“the” from his name and the Compton native has opted to leave us

hanging. We need a reason and we need it bad.2) Lil Bow Wow to Bow Wow

Why? That’s what I said when Lil Bow Wow dropped the

“lil.” Think about it. Lil Bow Wow was started as a tiny tot on the

Arsenio Hall show and since then, he’s grown a lot. No doubt. But, somewhere

along the line, he physically actually stopped growing in height. He really

did! He’s not getting any taller. In an era, where “lil” is so

popular, why would one of the founders of the popularity just drop it? He’s

still little and, as far as I am concerned, he’s always be LIL Bow Wow!

3) Puffy Daddy to P. Diddy

We really like Puffy, didn’t we? We felt like we knew Puff.

He was the dude that we grew up with and saw build an empire from nothing. This

P. Diddy dude was somebody that seemed a bit confused. He didn’t have The

Notorious B.I.G., Craig Mack and some of the more powerful stars of Bad Boy’s

early era. Simply put, Puffy Daddy > P. Diddy.

4) MC Hammer to Hammer

Hammer was the precursor to all this mess. Don’t get it

messed up, Hammer is beloved around these parts, but he must be called out on

this one! I took it personal when he dropped the “MC” from his name,

especially after selling zillions of records! As a die-hard Hip-Hop head, I felt

he was disassociating himself from Hip-Hop in search of greener pastures in

Hollywood. Fortunately. Hammer didn’t hurt us too much and he re-assumed the

“MC.” Ever since then, I’ve been one happy camper.5) Biggie Smalls to The Notorious B.I.G.

I’m still looking for the j####### that owned the rights to

the name Biggie Smalls. That is the reason why Christopher Wallace was forced

to adopt the name The Notorious B.I.G. Clearly, that bum was unable to stop us

from saying “Biggie Smalls is the illest,” but still… At the end of

the day, there is only one Biggie Smalls and I’ve gotten used to The Notorious,

but I wouldn’t mind giving that other dude a knuckle sandwich.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Jay Teaches Beyonce! Rap Mogul’s Granny Gets Home! Alicia and Swizz Help Drake!

        THE DAILY TWO SENSE!How are ya doing? I talked to one of my old friends from the IC. Refreshing to say the least. I was doing good on my twitter for a few day and then I fell off again. Be back soon. I am picking out some of the people for the rap contest. I expect to start featuring acts by next week.  And that’s it for now. Email rumors, sighting  and pix of you and stars to [email protected].GRAND MA GOT A TRAILER!

Do you remember that rumor I told you about the grand mom that didn’t have a house? OK, well here is the story recap. There is a rap mogul that really didn’t have a relationship with his dad at all. Now his dad is deceased and his grand mother was set to be homeless because her house burned down. Granny was asking for help from the rap mogul who was either unresponsive or uncaring. It looked like Grandma was going to be homeless. Well, she managed to get a trailer after a bunch of people in her rural area pitched in. Lucky for her she goes to church! As much as I would like to tell you, I can’t say who. I’m sure it would cost me my job…or my life!

JAY-Z GIVES BEYONCE A LESSON

How cool. Jay-Z is giving Beyonce driving lessons. According to sources, the pair go out really early in the morning and Jay shows Beyonce how to drive. Apparently, it is so early, even the paparazzi isn’t awake. (I thought they never slept.) But, the pair are with their security. The only thing is, security doesn’t ride in the car with them. Looks like Beyonce may be on the streets of NYC driving soon. She is getting a DL car so she can drive, but not the Bentley that Jay was going to get her.

This came out the last day or so, but Jay-Z admitted that Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall is his fav album of all time.

Jay-Z’s 2-week tour made him $9,731,218. I’m sure Live Nation gets some of that.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Corey Haim obtained about 500 pills in the weeks leading to his death. Dude was addicted, for sure.

How nice is Alicia Keys? I don’t care what people try to say. She’s and angel. She pushed back her duet with Beyonce and pushed UP her song with Drake (“Un-Thinkable”) to get him more promo for his album…that has been pushed back.

A Trey Songz reality show? Hmmm…I wonder if the music industry is selling music anymore. 

Jeez! How long is Kat Stacks going to be around? She’s working on a tell-all book. Based on what she’s already doing, I would assume this is going to get her sued back to prostitution!

E-40 Lands Three New Albums On Chart; Thanks Internet For Success

(AllHipHop News) Vallejo, California rapper E-40 landed three separate brand new albums on Billboard’s rap chart this week, as his latest releases are sitting in the #5, #6 and #14 positions. The rapper’s releases Revenue Retrievin  Day & Night Shift and the release Heavy On The Grind have sold a total of 30,000 units independently since hitting stores on March 30th. The albums were released on the label Heavy On The Grind, which is run by E-40’s son, Droop-E, who serves as President and executive producer of the projects. According to E-40, the success of his independent releases is due to his relentless working on the Internet and other non-traditional avenues to market his products, which each contain different barcodes. “I got out there, did my homework and went back to my roots and made these albums for the streets that made me,” E-40 told AllHipHop.com. “Then I utilized the internet and engaged in social networking by interacting with my fans and I found out what they wanted and what they liked best. Then I considered the state of this economy recognizing that people want the hook up, they want more and that’s exactly what I gave them. Most albums have 10 or 12 tracks on them, I exceeded that number then I doubled my product giving my fans who are also consumers a bigger bang for their buck.”Each one of the Revenue Retrievin releases contain 19 new songs, while Heavy On The Grind is being sold digitally though iTunes with a whopping 42 tracks from E-40. At FYE stores, the physical CD is packaged with a T-shirt and a 10 free ringtone bundle pack. Additionally E-40 dropped 5 videos that included features from Snoop Dogg, Too Short, Gucci Mane, Mistah F.A.B., San Quinn, Messy Marv, B-Legit, Jazze Pha and others. “I would like to thank everyone that participated in making this project happen, the grit don’t quit” E-40 said.

Drake Hired A Vocal Coach For ‘Away From Home’ Tour, Says Producer

(AllHipHop News) Two weeks ago, the Internet lit up at the sight of a leaked track from Drake’s anticipated debut, Thank Me Later. “Shut It Down,” a So Far Gone-lite record featuring The-Dream, was reported in September as Drake’s official lead single before any word of “Over” had surfaced.While the overall response to “Shut It Down” was more than favorable, Stadiumred producer Omen, who worked on the track with Drake’s right-hand 40, told VIBE that version heard on the Net had a few elements absent.“[‘Shut It Down’] is still missing some ingredients. It’s missing a full Dream verse and a full rap verse from Drake,” he says. “The leaked version wasn’t the way it was supposed to be presented. It was just something that caught on so quickly… I don’t know how the hell radio got it. Drake’s [rap verse is] basically playing around with the song’s concept more, not really telling a story, but just talking to the ladies.”Omen also revealed that “Shut It Down” was the first song Drake recorded for Thank Me Later in the early fall. Though he’s still unsure whether other tracks he co-produced with 40 made the final cut, from what Omen’s heard of the album, he says fans can expect more hip-hop than heard on the mixtape that made Drake famous.“It’s more rapping than So Far Gone… a lot more rapping. Even if he is singing it’s just the chorus. ‘Shut It Down’ has probably the most singing on the album and then he has another one with a Sade vibe that’s dope,” he says. “He’s definitely improving his singing too. He just hired a vocal coach that he’s working with during The Away From Home Tour. This is going to be one of the top hip-hop/R&B albums out this year. I can feel it.”The 33-year-old Harlem producer added that he spoke too soon about “Shut It Down” being Drake’s first single.“I jumped the gun [Laughs]. What happened is everyone was real excited and saying this is the single, but you know how the industry works, when an album’s being recorded there’s always going to be other producers that bring something different,” he continues. “It still was a very good song to be in the single contention. It could be second, could be third. I’m not sure which, but I’m sure it’s going to be a single.”Omen first worked with Drake in 2008 on the track, “Overdose On Life,” off Drake’s second mixtape, Comeback Season. Drake’s major label debut, Thank Me Later is scheduled for release on June 15. —Tracy Garraud

Hip-Hop Rumors: Juelz Loses Lawsuit!? Swizz’s New Baby? M.I.A. Disses Gaga!

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.

THE DAMN MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes the fans are the “new media,” because they push us to say things that aren’t true! Like somebody sent me one line of an Eve quote and made it seem like there was a beef with Nick. Here is the full quote”

Here is her direct quote, “Trust me, no one’s competition for me and that sounds cocky but I seriously live in such an Eve world. And not in a crazy-everything-is-me-bubble, it’s just that I’m building an empire,” the 31-year-old says. “I go on Twitter and people say ‘Yo, knock Nicki Minaj out of the box, but ultimately we’re all helping each other and I’m happy seeing these chicks in the game. It’s too much testosterone. When I see another female, my immediate reaction is not ‘Oh I gotta go and get my s### right.’ I got 900 other things going on. I can’t keep worrying about what’s coming up behind me.”

Sorry, I don’t know the source.

M.I.A. DISSES LADY GAGA!

 

Here is what M.I.A. said.

 Are they even interested in making money from music anymore? Lady Gaga plugs 15 things in her new video. Dude, she even plugs a burger! That’s probably how they’re making money right now – buying up the burger joint, putting the burger in a music video and making loads of burger money.

    Do you think those programmes and the internet have destroyed the mythology around popstars?

 

    I don’t know. Again, there’s Lady Gaga – people say we’re similar, that we both mix all these things in the pot and spit them out differently, but she spits it out exactly the same! None of her music’s reflective of how weird she wants to be or thinks she is. She models herself on Grace Jones and Madonna, but the music sounds like 20-year-old Ibiza music, you know? She’s not progressive, but she’s a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I f###### do! That’s a talent and she’s got a great team behind her, but she’s the industry last stab at making itself important – saying, ‘You need our money behind you, the endorsements, the stadiums’ Respect to her, she’s keeping a hundred thousand people in work, but my belief is: Do It Yourself.

 SOURCE

JUELZ LOSES A LAWSUIT?????

I got this letter in the mail and I guess I’ll let them explain what happened. There are some grammatical issues, but I didn’t touch this letter to keep it sanctified.

Im Writing on Behave on Loud And Wyld Entertainment.. Were are the ones that had the lawsuit against juelz santana in regards to the allentown pa crocodile rock  show in which juelz never performed or made a date up. Well Its been a long 3 years and yesterday we went infront of a federal judge, in Philadelphia.The federal Judge awared us Judgement.I will not disclosed how much we were awarded but we won!. I would like you to let the people know that these rappers are getting out of hand when dealing with small promotors. See they dont pull that s### on live nation or Concerts east or the jewteam be on there a####. Well we got a jew team too But hes no Jew and his name is Paul Gardner.. Also we like to thank Attorney Igway out of philadelphia for doing a great job..

SWIZZY’S OTHER BABY?

I can’t keep up anymore. The rumors are sickening! This one is really a bit wild, because it alleges that Swizz Beatz has a baby from some Russian chick. The baby is supposedly two years old and Swizz-n-Alicia have been an item for about that time. Clearly this would overlap his marriage to Mashonda. He allegedly met the woman at a London club in 2007. After their tryst, he bounced and she couldn’t contact him for paternity until now. He reportedly took a test and hes the father. They even say Alicia was there for support. I dunno.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES!

 Question: What happened to CRS – thr group with Lupe, Kanye and Pharrell. They were supposed to have an album called God Unwilling. Nothing popped!

Shout out to Gotti from Fayatteville, NC!!!!!

How ill! Rick Ross is dropping another album in June  and has a new single coming next week.

Whitney Houston has denied that she has had any issues with drugs that has lead to her canceling her shows. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Nicki Minaj’s fans are spazzing that she dropped out of the tour with Rihanna. What should upset them more is that Nicki probably won’t drop until September.

Fans are now questioning whether or not it’s actually Lil Wayne writing them from jail! I think it is, because its in Weezy’s druggy tone. Lol…I’m kidding. On the real, Lil Twist has confirmed that its really Wayne.

Speaking of Wayne. Guess what his job is in jail? He watching other inmates and tells if they trying to kill themselves. This is the dude that wrote a song “I feel like dying.”

Mannnn…they saying Tiger smashed he 21 year old neighbor. Dude was just running WILD! 

Justin Bieber – who is this kid? Who is listening to him? He’s killin the game right now.

Yo…The Dream is trying to buy a part of the Atlanta Hawks. They really running up in the NBA.

I heard Coolio has a tattoo on his head like Baby from Cash Money.

Drake has a problems if Kanye drops in June.

 BRANDY AND FLO RIDA?

 WTH? Flo Rida and Brandy are dating? SMH!

 

 She says:

 “I’ve seen the photos of me and Flo Rida. It doesn’t matter how we met. We met. I don’t want to say that we’re a couple. I can definitely say that he’s somebody in my life and I’m definitely interested but I’m not serious with anybody.”

“I don’t play around with the whole cheating thing. Please don’t do that. I don’t like that. At all. I’m so scared of that. I’m scared to give my heart away.”

This pic reminds me of when Yung Berg had jokes about Flo’s hairline.Source VIBE.com

KRS-ONE TALKS; LISTEN.

At a recent gala for the Hip-Hop Museum, there was some controversy. Nobody quite seems to know what it stems from, but KRS-One spoke on it. Peep it.

 

 

LOOK WHO LOST MAD WEIGHT AND LOOKS GREAT!

 J-Hud!

 

 EPIC WIN OF THE DAY!

 This Taiwanese boy sounds better than Whitney Houston!

 

 

You go boy! LMAO!

 

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY!

Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins fought over the weekend, but Poor Roy didn’t make a damn dime from that beating he took at the hands of Bernardo. Why? Look at the math below. Hopkins is lucky he served as the promoter with Oscar De La Hoya. What a suckfest that fight was.

 

According to badlefthook.com:

 

The sad thing about the fight is that Jones won’t make anything. Let’s assume for a second that the 6,792 in the building actually paid for their seats (we know that’s not true) and that the seats averaged $300 a ticket (a figure higher than reality). That would mean the gate was $2 million. If the expenses to rent the building and promote the fight were $1 million, that means $1 million is left. Now, let’s figure it sold 100,000 pay-per-views at $49.95 apiece. That’s about $5 million. They have to split 50 percent of that with the cable and satellite operators, so that leaves $2.498 million for themselves. Add the $1 million from the gate and the $2.498 million from the pay-per-view and you have $3.498 million in profit. Given that the contract called for the first $3.5 million in profit to go to Hopkins and Golden Boy, it’s almost certain Jones fought for nothing. Actual revenue will likely be far less than I’ve described above.

 SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

 God help us.

We are going to need to arrest people on several counts of stupidity. This dude Willie Ferris. Dude is so stupid, he needs to be examined for lead poisoning or something. So, dude Ferris pays a h00ker to give him a “menu of favors.” She took his $50 bucks and got down in that White Castle bathroom. But dude thought he was supposed to get a lay and some other things for his hard-earned money. Instead, he got a couple kisses and she sunk to her knees. Well anyway…this fool called the police and said the lady of the night robbed him. The cops got there and his story fell apart.  911? Really? Damn Willie…you one dumb SOB.

LOL! EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY!

 This is stupid, but I guess I will recognize it. These people love the racist sign, because its still there. SMH.

 

 

HERE YOU GO!

The Top 10 Skinny Jean Culprits in Hip Hop

Ah, the skinny jean. In the 20th century, it began with punk rockers. Then skaters, rocks bands like The Strokes, and women embraced this cut. Finally, the hipsters caught on, rocking their dirty skinnies with equally dirty white canvas kicks and vintage tees. The HipsterSoon after developed the “hopsters.” Very similar to the hipster in style, hopsters are more influenced by hip hop than rock, and are generally more colorful with their gear. The HopsterAs menswear naturally became more tailored in recent years, the skinny jean crept its way into the wardrobe of your average Joe and your hip-hop head. Some rappers, like Jay-Z, have stayed true to their baggy jeans (although we have noticed his denim slim down a little), while others have jumped aboard the skinny train. We have broken down the top 10 skinny-jean-wearing culprits in hip-hop today—check them out and share your thoughts in the comments section! 10. Trey Songz  9. Usher 8. Ne-Yo  7. Chris Brown  6.

REDMAN MARRIED!

Illseed Exclusive! I want to give a very happy congrats to Redman aka Reggie Noble! Redman and his long-term fiancée finally sealed the deal and jumped the broom. I don’t have any images of the blessed day, but as sure as snow is white, this is true. God bless!

BONE CRUSHER x BUSHWICK BILL = NEW ALBUM?

I don’t know how this came about, but there is a crazy rumor that Bushwick Bill and Bone Crusher are working on an album together. Honestly, I’m not sure how this will work. I don’t know if you know this, but Bushwick is also reportedly doing a Gospel rap album. And Bone Crusher is supposedly more of a rock star than a rap star these days. Anyway…I hope they chill and just do their solo projects. I’m sure they won’t if there is any truth to this.

WHITNEY HOUSTON IS SICK!

Whitney Houston canceled her concert yesterday night because of “a chronic rhinopharyngitis and an infection whose cause was not identified”. Doctors are still checking what’s wrong with her. For those that don’t understand: rhi·no·phar·yn·gi·tis (r n -f r n-j t s). n. Inflammation of the nasal and pharyngeal mucous membranes. Nevertheless.. I guess we will see.

R. KELLY MISSES SHOW DUE TO SON!

R. Kelly’s pretty much on the low as I can see it. I think it may be that his reign is coming to a close. But he was supposed to be in Paris, but he couldn’t make it. The show got canceled because his son has polyps in the throat and must undergo surgery to have them removed. So, Kellz is doing the father thing. No jokes from  me!

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

I was told that the Eastside Boyz are still trying to release an album with no Lil Jon. A single with DJ Unk? Rumors say.

Funny how Eve is sending lil jabs Nicki’s way. I don’t think she’s going to engage with the pitbull in a skirt.

Shout out to Paula Patton and Robin Thicke, who had their first baby yesterday. The boy’s name is Julian Fuego.
