Kanye West Springs A Leak

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West’s new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, has hit the internet in a way that the rapper probably isn’t pleased with. The version of the opus in circulation is a clean version with no profanity. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is officially due in stores and digitally on November 22. In the past, West has given a free song per week to his fans, a move deemed G.O.O.D. Fridays. But, the effort was derailed when one of the songs became an unauthorized leak. “Due to blogs leaking unfinished songs from my album I’ve decided to pass [on] G.O.O.D. Fridays this week,” Kanye West wrote on his blog. “It’s messed up that one hacker can mess everything up for everyone…I love to take a year to finish my songs and deliver them…to you guys in [their] most completed form.” Nevertheless, the rapper expressed thankfulness in his displeasure of previous leaks. “Even in my disappointment about the leaks I feel blessed,” Kanye said.  Other recent leaks include Rihanna and Cee-Lo. All albums have been heralded by their fans and critics.

SO…THIS IS HOW YOU CATCH A RAPPER IN 2010?

Wiz Khalifa must be on the “Lil Wayne Guide To Success” program or something. No shots. But, it seems apparent that he wanted to get arrested.

DRAKE TO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE THE AALIYAH STORY????

I didn’t google this or anything so it may already be old news. I decided to hit you up with it anyway. Michael Condon, the director of “Dreamgirls” is working hard on “Aaliyah: the Movie” and guess who is coming along for the ride? Drake. It seems that Drake is seriously pushing to be the Executive Producer of the project. He wants to make it happen and the producers are rumored to be with it. Also, remember Keshia Chante? She is the beauty that was rumored to be the girl Chris Brown was cheating on as he was with Rihanna? Well she is still set to play Ms. Haughton and Drizzy on the soundtrack. Sounds like a crazy combo, especially since Keshia Chante is a singer too. I wonder if Drake will act in the movie, because there is talk about that too. Two Canadians heading up the Aaliyah movie! They’re taking over!!!

MINI ME BATTLES 50 CENT IN MONEY!

Ahhhhh, lil Vern Troyer needs to get on the mic and bust a rap. Dude got paper taller than he is.

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

Peep this mess from the Associated Press.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—A Florida woman and her boyfriend have been charged with trying to sell her infant grandson for $30,000.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents arrested 45-year-old Patty Bigbee and 42-year-old Lawrence Works on Friday in Daytona Beach after they met with an agent posing as a buyer. Both were charged with illegal sale or surrender of a child, and Bigbee was also charged with communication fraud.

FDLE agent Wayne Ivey said an investigation began last month after an informant told authorities the woman was trying to sell the baby. Authorities say the woman originally wanted $75,000 but was talked down to $30,000.

The child’s mother is currently incarcerated on unrelated charges.

The infant has been turned over to child welfare officials.

Authorities said they didn’t know if Bigbee or Works had an attorney.

BACK TO ILLSEED!

KEEP IT PUSHING FOR OSCAR GRANT!

Shout out to Jubilee Shine! He sent me the following link on Oscar Grant

http://www.change.org/petitions/view/eric_holder_prosecute_mehserle_in_federal_court

It is very encouraging to see that SOME people still care and are pushing for justice. As you can see, a lot of people care more about the Cowboys coach getting fired than a cop firing on an unarmed man. This link makes it simple for you to support Justice For Oscar Grant. Go to the site and type in your name and push send. A letter goes to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder so we can bring up fed charges on the cop that murdered Oscar Grant.

ANTOINE DODSON WON’T GO AWAY!

I can’t be mad at the dude. He’s feeding the fam. As much as I want him to go away, I can’t hate.

Click here to see what I said about it on Twitter. LOL!

OSCAR GRANT, WE LOVE YOU!!  OAKLAND STAND UP! EVERYBODY STAND UP!They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

Lil Wayne, Oscar Grant and Hip-Hop

 Lil Wayne just finished a bid of 9 months in jail.T.I. just started a new bid of 11 months after serving.

Mike Vick served 23 months in jail.

The police officer that murdered Oscar Grant in cold blood was sentenced to 2 years in jail.

I’m back, b***hes. That’s right, I said B***HES.

Want to know why I said it? Because that’s what we are.

I’ll include myself in there as well, because WE continue to get bucked down, beat down..basically exterminated all over the globe. And, I mean, Black people.

The death of Oscar Grant is continued proof that NOBODY cares or places a value on the Black life. WE, as people of color don’t even value our own lives. How do I know?

Well, for one, a too many of us don’t even know a brother was shot and killed unarmed on New Years day. This hasn’t been widely publicized, but it has been news. And, it has been pushed heavy in the community at large, websites and other independent media.

The second is that the powers that ARE keep doing this.

Johannes Mehserle is a half a cop piece-of-S**T and he doesn’t value our lives. Sure, he expressed regret, but everybody does that when they screw up royally. Dude pulled the trigger in such haste to use force that he didn’t know it was his taser, AND THAT’S THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. The worst is that he simply blew Oscar Grant’s 22-year-old body away. don’t value your life. On the other side, with the judge, the same remains true. Last week, a judge sentenced Mehserle to two years in jail, shredding the possibility for justice in the twisted, turbulent case of Oscar Grant.

But wait, it gets worse. According to Davey D, the judge said something like Oscar caused his own death. REALLY? Did he willfully put a bullet in his own back and cause it to bounce off the concrete at the BART Train station, essentially shooting him again? These judges know they won’t get checked. These cops know the system is protecting them too the fullest. There is no sense that there are real consequences to these unjust, immoral and plain old INHUMAN actions. But Mike Vick served about the same amount of time that ex-officer Mehserle will go on to serve. So you know, the value of the African American male is about the same as a couple dogs.

And then there are the rappers.

Man, F### YOU N***AS.

Nobody has anything to say.

What once was the CNN of the HOOD is now the equivalent to a bad reality show on FOX. You dudes are so busy shuckin’ and jivin’ for your money or sponsorships, you can’t even say a good word about these brothers. Oscar Grant, Sean Bell, Danroy Henry, Abner Louima, Amadou Dialo, Anthony Baez…need I say more? These cops are PIGS and they know they can be as sloppy as they want and somebody in a higher place is going to clean up the mess.

I look at T.I., Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane and even the older ones with a real voice like Jay-Z. Sure, Jay can get down with Obama, but what about getting down to raise some awareness about Sean Bell. And, I understand, Jay did some things with Sean Bell. Commendable. But we have to continue to apply pressure.

The leaders.

Where are they? Where is the movement? Where is the proactive actions that can prevent this from happening on all levels? Jesse and Al are getting old and their tactics are even older. Funny, a few years ago, Nas said it was time to get those dudes out of the way and let people like him lead. Where is Nas since he wants to names. And where is The Game aka “Mr. F**k Jesse Jackson Because It Ain’t About Race Now.” Yeah, I remember that one, Game.

This here was just to get all the rage out that I feel. I am not the leader of the movement against the extermination of Black people.

I am just a soldier.

A soldier with no leader.

A soldier with no army to join.

To put this in perspective, even Bill O’Reilly was wrong when he predicted that the officer would eventually face heavy criminal charges. FML.

KANYE WEST IS TRYING TO LEAK1!!

Wheeeewww! I don’t think even Kanye West can stop this one from coming down, but they are trying! There is a leaked version of Kanye’s album out there. But, there’s a catch. First of all, whoever is in charge of stoping leaks is doing a great job. All the links are dead and that’s a good thing. Secondly, I am told that there are leaks that are incomplete. And Thirdly, I am hearing that the leaks are actually WRONG. So, why not just buy the album?

HAMMER ISN’T TALKING!

I’m not saying any more about this, but MC Hammer definitely isn’t talking about where the beef with he and Jay-Z started. Read about it below.

AllHipHop.com: There are rumors, but nobody knows where this started. MC Hammer : What I’ma say is that people think that this is a throwaway line from Jay. But Jay and I both know that it wasn’t. Because it didn’t start on record. How about that? Jay and I both know that it didn’t start on this record and what he said is a result of something that was happening behind the scenes and he put it on wax.

KAT STACKS IS OUTTA HERE, BUT HER MOMMA SAYS “NO!!!”

Kat Stacks is another day closer to deportation. Here is what VIBE.com is reporting.

According to The Nashville Criminal Justice Center, Kat Stacks, who was arrested Friday Nov 5 under an immigration hold, has a 90% chance of being deported to Venezuela this week.

The young mother born Andrea Herrera-Cardena was detained in Nashville, Tennessee just three days after celebrating her 21st birthday. She’s currently being held without bail at the Nashville Correctional Development Center For Females. “She didn’t get arrested for a state charge, so she must’ve missed an immigration court date in the past. Once that happens they start looking for you and once they got you… it’s a wrap,” says Miss Pugh a police assistant at Nashville’s CJC.

Pugh also stated that most of the time illegal aliens are deported within seven days of detainment. However, if the woman who made a name for herself by sexing and terrorizing rappers seeks council, there may be a chance she stays on US soil.

On the ignorant side of life, her mom said it ain’t true and that Kat will be w###### sooner than you haters think.

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

In Iran, you can lose your life if you do the wrong kind of Hip-Hop. The police in Tehran have declared war on the kids that make rap music of the “subversive and inappropriate” type. Apparently, the sort of rap that gets people riled up is not appreciated. These kids are being arrested, even on the university level, for doing Hip-Hop or “Western-percieved” musical musings. This includes videos too, I’m reading. They are saying that these students and kids are making videos and mixtapes in abandoned buildings and distributing them to people, raising a ruckus. They even get arrested for using the wrong kind of slang.

EPIC WIN OF THE DAY! This was TOO FUNNY…lol

MC Hammer: Jay-Z, The Devil, Christianity and Being So Appalled (Part 2)

Continued from MC Hammer: Jay-Z, The Devil, Christianity and Being So Appalled (Part 1)In Part II of this exclusive conversation with MC Hammer, the legendary entertainer reveals whether or not he truly feels Jay-Z is an agent of the Devil, the real reason he “addressed” Jay-Z on the musical front and how this whole beef started. AllHipHop.com:  So let me ask you this, now we had a brief convo on this when it all started. Now I didn’t think you were gonna go at Jay in this manner. What made you at Jay from this stand point? I mean honestly I thought you were going to do a short documentary or something like that, of that nature. What made you actually do a song  and a video?

MC Hammer : I had no doubt in my mind, that if I did it from my perspective. If I used my creativity and use what I am known for and use all those elements and still address issues. That it would receive the attention that I wanted to receive. I thought it would have been the best approach and I had I just done the documentary it would have meant nothing and it would have been; ‘Oh we have heard all this before’.

It is real strange that I what I did, they way I did it and the medium that I chose is so powerful that if you say your position is; ‘I don’t like this song it is the worse song ever, it really speaks more to someone not expecting me to be saying the things that I am saying and have the elements that I have. Everything from the Jay Z look-alike to the hook of ‘Run, you better run run’. To the direct verses that are simplistic in nature, but are very revealing in what would be quote on quote ‘a punch lines’. If you’ve noticed on my twitter feed,  you’ve never seen quote on quote ‘Hammers not lyrical’. But all of my lines from the song are being quoted. From “He stole my swag, to let’s put the prints  all over the bag” to “The Devil say can you give me a sign? Throw the Roc up that’s one of mine.” If you go from verse to verse you see that my verses are being quoted.

But I am not trying to be “Mr Lyrical.” I am trying to be effective and that has been the same style I use from day one as an artist. Remember these are the same people who said from “Let’s Get It Started” was wack, but 50 million people said “Where can I buy this?” But 50 million people said “This style and this Hammer guy, where can I buy it and where can I see this?” So I am not offended by the naysayers I just need a few more of them so I can know that I got something that is really gonna be hot.

AllHipHop.com: Right, I feel you. That was one of my points on Twitter last night before it started getting crazy. “You know Hammer sold…”. And they were like “you can’t talk about sales.” I was like “You can talk about sales, because that does speak to someone’s impact, no matter what you feel or say.”

MC Hammer : All the arguments they make are around sales. Then they’ll make another indirect argument that is still around sales. “Well they doing stadiums!” He’s doing stadiums with another act. I did stadiums by myself. No guests.  There will be no guests tonight. Its Hammer time. Six nights and fifty thousand people a night! So the point is, when people are passionate about their position, logic goes out the door.

AllHipHop.com: I have hard time believing that Jay Z worships the Devil. In the video it seems like Jay Z is being pursued the Devil. Do you feel like he is in cahoots with the Devil – do you really feel like he is in cahoots with a Satanic force or something like that?

MC Hammer : My position is another line from the song. I said that ‘I don’t really have to go in on a fella, but that dude romance the Devil’. Notice I didn’t say that he worships the Devil, I said that he romance the devil and I mean that. I don’t even think he is an official Devil worshipper. I think he thinks it is a great thing to do for the way he positions his brand.

But there is a danger in that and the danger is that in anyway of romancing the Devil is to perceive by the occult themselves is that they a part of the click. That’s number one, number two in his Anti-Christian positions and his continuous bashing of Christianity mixed with a romancing of the Devil, equates to a strong flirtation with darkness. That’s what it is.

AllHipHop.com:  Overall, Hip-Hop has dabbled in this for quite some time. Everybody from Eazy-E to Big L to Big Pun to Biggie Smalls. There’s a whole genre of music called Horrorcore that definitely dabbles in this too. Your thoughts overall on this topic, do you have any feelings overall with Hip Hop? Is that other stuff just entertainment and this has now hit a different level?

MC Hammer : I wasn’t in it like that, so I can’t speak on it. But this issue we are dealing right now, is 2010 blatant in your face and again because of the fact that I am a Christian, these things to the verse, he throw [Usher’s] “Hotty Totty… got her speaking in tongues, she like ooh daddy by by you so hung.” Again a shot and please include this Chuck, because this is consistent, another shot at Christianity. Even on that song when he talks about having sex with a woman and got her speaking in tongues. Consistent with the Christian bashing.

If people look at my response to Jay and they say, why is Hammer coming heavy? It’s real easy, it’s not even that hard to see. If Hammer is coming this hard behind his lines something isn’t right. You right about that. Think about what you saying. Why is Hammer coming this hard off his line you heard a thousand times? You right about it but I heard his other lines a thousand times.

Since I am hearing that other line combined with your influence and who you are. Then you address me, good then let me address you on all this.

AllHipHop.com: There are rumors, but nobody knows where this started.

MC Hammer : What I’ma say is that people think that this is a throwaway line from Jay. But Jay and I both know that it wasn’t. Because it didn’t start on record. How about that? Jay and I both know that it didn’t start on this record and what he said is a result of something that was happening behind the scenes and he put it on wax.
