Wyclef Calls On Fans To Help Haiti After Earthquake

(AllHipHop News) Rapper and activist Wyclef Jean is calling upon fans to donate money to help the battered island of Haiti, which was hit with the largest earthquake ever recorded on the island today (January 12).

 

Jean is asking his 1,290,000 followers to donate $5 dollars to his Yele Haiti non-profit organization, which will send aid to the nation. “Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced,” Wyclef told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – and several very strong aftershocks – struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince. I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.”

 Clef asked fans to text “Yele” to 501501 to donate $5 to Yele Haiti, his non-profit organization that has provided aid and assistance to the country for over five years.

 

 Haiti was rocked by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake today, causing widespread damage to the tiny Caribbean country.

 

 To make matters worse there were five aftershocks, including two that were 5.9 and 5 .2 on the Richter Scale in the past hour and more are expected.

 

Over 2 million people in the main city of Port au Prince have been affected by the impact as the epicenter was just 10 miles southwest from the densely populated capital.

 

G-Unit rapper expressed concern for his family members on the island.

 “Its a sad day for Haiti My thoughts and prayers are with everyone and there families. Bout 2 call my family,” Yayo Tweeted.

 Numerous homes have been destroyed, a major hospital has completely collapsed and according to the latest reports, the presidential palace also suffered extensive damage.

 

The last time an earthquake close to this magnitude to hit Haiti occurred in 1751.

 

A series of tropical storms ravaged Haiti from 2004-2008 and severely damaged the country’s transportation infrastructure and agriculture industry, in addition to killing thousands.

 

Over 70% of the crops were destroyed in 2008 and 22,000 homes were destroyed in that incident, which the country was still recovering from.

 

“My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected by this earthquake,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. “We are closely monitoring the situation and we stand ready to assist the people of Haiti.”

 

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

 

Hundreds are already feared dead and scientists expect massive casualties.

 “President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people,” Wyclef said. “The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.”

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 DAILY TWO SENSE

EH! Rumors are slow today! I don’t know what’s up with these stars! Can somebody do something stupid? I’m kidding. I did something stupid by some folks accounts. I made Rick Ross “Illseed’s Person of the Year!” HA! As you know, the person of the year is an unlikely candidate that wouldn’t normally get such and honor. I’ve given it to Will Smith for his rap album a few years ago. MC Hammer got the honor once. I forget the others. Read it here!

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Shaq has been linked to a new mistress, who he allegedly engaged in illicit cyber sex. Who knows? Who cares! Cheating is getting boring.

I don’t accept Rod Blagojevich’s apology.

Dr. Dre is saying the Detox is a ways off from coming out. I give up.

Amy Winehouse is reportedly going to get re-married to Blake.

Keri Hilson’s mixtape is one the way:

LIL WAYNE’S SON!

Not exactly sure where this came from, but its cute. Good to see Lauren London being the doting mother. Now, lets hope Weezy is gonna be that as a father.

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY

I don tknow what set this dude off, but he sure didn’t get back on. Watch what happens when she tries to break the windows out of a Burger King with a chair.

OMARION SPEAKS!!!

Recently Omarion whose new Cd Ollusion is now in stores, stopped by, “Live with KENDRA G” and talked about how a B2K reunioun will NEVER happen, Chris Brown dance off, Khole Kardashian, and MORE! Click on the video to see the interview for yourself!

CHANCE ENCOUNTERSHere are some rumors from my homey Chance and after him are a few from Jazzy! Holla BACK! VIV THE COUGAR

 

Fif’s ex and proud cougar Vivica A. Fox has moved on from rappers to party promoters.  She was recently in The A partying it up with her new twenty something boy toy, Slimm of Plush Blue Entertainment.  She’s hosted a lot of parties for him the past few months and the two seem to be getting pretty close.  New couple alert???

 

 

WHITE FOLKS GETTING IT IN

 

The other night Justin Timberlake jumped on stage during one of Brother Ali’s shows and gave an impromptu performance.  But the Nsyncer didn’t sing or dance he beat boxed and it was pretty dope…check it out:

P.S. Someone told me I come off racist by identifying people as white … so just want to say I love white folks too!!!!

 

NOW WHAT??

 

Beanie Sigel recently told The Source magazine that 50 Cent never really had plans to sign him and was just using him to promote Before I Self Destruct.  He claims he was well aware of this fact from Day 1 and he actually used 50, as well, for the free publicity.  I must admit I didn’t think it was going to happen either and although I wanted to see that Jay/Beans battle go down I knew when the smoke cleared Beanie was going to be left to fend for himself and now what’s he going to do go back to Jay-Z???  He does have one of the funniest mixtape covers I’ve seen in a while though:

 

 

HOW YOU GET THAT???

 

A reader hit me up the other day and had a story to tell.  He’s a rapper and one of his homey’s is a producer.  He says his man sampled his voice for a beat they submitted for Jay-Z’s BP3.  The record didn’t make the album but out of nowhere he hears a song by Japan’s Teriyaki Boyz featuring Jay-Z using the exact same beat…here’s a little of what he said:

 

“I’m with a group called The Internationalz out of North Carolina…Our lead producer Magnedo7 (“Blow the Bank” by Jim Jones) produced a record called “Living the life” with me on the hook that we attempted to submit for the Blueprint 3 at the end of 2008.  A couple of days ago I get a call from a friend saying they heard a Jay-Z song with me on the hook and some guys rapping in Japanese…[I listen and] I hear the track and hook (with my vocals) that we submitted with a recycled Jay-z verse and the Teriyaki Boyz for their upcoming album/mixtape. Now I’d like to make it CLEAR I’m not sending this to “expose” or confront anyone I’d just like it to be known that we created the record…we don’t know how they received the track.”

 

He also says he’d love the opportunity to OFFICIALLY work with the Teriyaki Boyz and wants them to holla.  You guys DO owe if this is true.  Here’s the record:

I’M JUST SAYIN’

 

Shout out to my Facebook family for keeping me in the loop.

 

I hear Kid Capri got boo’d down in New Orleans over the holidays…SMH gotta respect the legends but I guess the legends still have to come correct.

 

K. Coles sister, Elite, released a statement about the family feud…for someone we don’t know she has a lot to say. 

 

The dude Danger accused Ray-J of having an affair with is NOT G-Unit’s Young Buck…it’s another one.  Apparently they showed dude during the 1st season.

 

Keri Hilson is working on a mixtape … Think it’ll be any good??  Singer tapes are real iffy.

 

Tyreese recently had a birthday party that shut club MyHouse down.  Diddy, RiRi and Jaimee Fox were some of the celebrities in attendance and it got so wild the LAPD had to bring out the choppers to keep the crowd in order.

 

One of Tiger Woods’s jumpoff’s is trying to get a TV show where she discusses the trials and tribulations of being the other woman.  She also runs a support group called Mistresses Anonymous for you side jawns out there.

 

Happy Birthday to DJ Lazy K … enjoy it!!!!  She was one of the first people to support me years ago so it’s always love.

 

I WAS JUST THINKING

 

Beyonce says while she’s on her break she will make a point to spend more time with her nephew (Solanges son).  She says:

 

“He’s a wonderful kid, amazing, so smart. And I spoil him, so it’s a lot of work. He’s a 24-hour job.”

 

Sounds like she would be eager to have one of her own.  So why is she so reluctant to pro-create with Hov???  Maybe we’ll see that collaboration during her break.

 

JAZZY F.’S RUMORS

What’s going on everyone? I hope you guys are starting to get use to Jazzy. I’m definitely gonna be on the job so lets GO IN!

We all know Diddy is taking Bad Boy to Interscope records and I hear Mr. Take that is pulling some tricks out of his sleeve so expect a few veteran bad boy artists.

What happened to the “chicken noodle soup” girl? I hear she is about 20 years old now and has no deal – so no career for her.

“Sheneneh and Wanda” movie with Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence is still on. I can’t wait! This could possibly be the funniest comedy ever.

Danger had twitter and all the blogs in a frenzy yesterday with her rumors about Ray J. Let’s just say she wants to be New York 2.0. Oh well free press for Ray J. He will be getting another 2 million bonus. There was talks of a no reunion and a season 3. Idk we will see. Log on 2 RayJ.com.

All the spider man movie fans can wait a lil longer the film is on hold and it begins again with Parker back in high school. There is a play for broadway as well I hear.

Also my black people be mindful that the calories in fast food places are always more than what they label the food.

Beyonce is goin back in the studio after she shoots her 2 videos with Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys.

Funny lil Kevin Hart is on the grind for his own TV show which I’m sure would be hilarious if you ask me.

Jazzy is def on his grind and I could go all day so I’m gone just leave you guys with that check me out on TheSocietyOnline.biz and FOLLOW me on twitter.com/itsJazzyFBaby

Shawty Redd Bond Set At $200K

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta producer Shawty Redd made an appearance in court this morning (January 12), where his bond was set at $200,000.

 

Shawty Redd, born Demetrius Lee Stewart, was formally charged with the January 1 shooting death of 35-year-old Damon Martin.

 

The hit making producer stood before Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero today.

 

Prosecutors pleaded with Judge Amero not to release the hit making producer, Dennis Byron, of Hip Hop Enquirer Magazine told AllHipHop.com, but bond was set at $200,000.

 

Stewart has been held in a Henry County jail without a bond since the shooting.

 

He is currently being represented by attorney Marcia Fuller.

 

Shawty Redd, 28, is known for producing hits for artists like Young Jeezy , Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane and others.

 

He allegedly shot and killed Martin during an early-morning dispute in his mansion in Hampton, Georgia on New Year’s Day.

 

In related news, a source told AllHipHop.com that someone in the courthouse issued a threat to a witness of the murder, but it is not known how this may impact the court proceedings.

 

10 Biggest News Stories of 2009 #3 T.I. Begins 366-Day Prison Sentence

For a guy who wasn’t physically on the scene for much of 2009, T.I. was just as present as any rapper in the public eye.

With a hit album (Paper Trail) and a string of popular singles (“Whatever You Like” “Swagga Like Us, Live Your Life” featuring Rihanna and “Dead and Gone” featuring Justin Timberlake) to his credit, life was good for the Atlanta-based lyricist.

 

However, the dark shadow of an October 2007 arrest for possession of three unregistered machine guns and two silencers, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon could not be escaped as T.I. pleaded guilty to the federal charges and was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for the crime on March 27, 2009.

The plea bargain was a viable substitute from the 10-year maximum sentence and $250,000 fine the entertainer originally faced. T.I., who was also ordered to pay a $100,000 fine and serve 1,000 hours of community service, began serving his stint behind bars at a federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas on May 26, 2009. The rap star chronicled his last days of freedom on MTV on the reality show T.I.: The Road to Redemption.

During this time, T.I. visited 25 states where he attended more than 260 events, spoke at 58 schools, 12 Boys and Girls Clubs, nine churches and the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice. The day before he reported to prison, the entertainer headlined a farewell concert at the Philips Arena in Atlanta.

Prior to being sentenced, T.I. secured a Grammy award for “Swagga Like Us,” an all-star collaboration featuring Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Paper Trail resonated with fans with 568,000 copies during its first week of release in 2008 while the rapper was under house arrest.

In addition, T.I. entered prison without the added baggage of a beef with longtime rival Shawty Lo. The pair put an end to their much-publicized conflict in March by appearing onstage together at Club Crucial in Bankhead, for one of T.I.’s last performances. Despite his incarceration, T.I.’s grip on his Grand Hustle record label remained firm. In May, the rhymesayer booted fellow rapper Alfamega from the label amid learning he worked as an informant for the DEA in Atlanta. 

While he wished his former affiliate well, T.I. emphasized how Alfamega’s situation was a prime example of the standards set by him and his label. Documents published on the smoking gun.com reveal how Alfamega offered information pertaining to “the illegal activity of several individuals within the City of Atlanta” when he contacted the United States Attorney’s office through his attorney.

In November, Grand Hustle’s offices were at the center of an incident involving two Molotov cocktails found by authorities. The label’s CEO Jason Geter stated the building’s alarms went off in the early hours of the morning after someone threw a 40-ounce bottle at the office. Authorities believe an aspiring artist may have been behind the incident.

Although he remained in prison, T.I.’s music career continued to thrive. The rapper collected a BET Award for Viewers Choice for in June and an MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video in September, both for “Live Your Life.”

 

T.I. also garnered BET Hip Hop Awards for CD of the Year (Paper Trail), Best Hip-Hop Video and Hip-Hop Collaboration (“Live Your Life”) in October. In December, the rapper was named Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Decade and Top Hot Songs Artist of 2009 for having four top 5 singles (“Whatever You Like,” “Swagga Like Us,” “Live Your Life,” and “Dead and Gone”).

Occasional updates on the T.I. were given through his wife, former Xscape member Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. Fans got an early Christmas present when the rapper was released early from prison on Dec. 22, 2009. According to reports, T.I. will serve his remaining time at Dismas Charities Atlanta West correctional center in Atlanta.

At the end of his time at the correctional center, the rapper/actor must complete 500 hours of community service, in addition to another 23 days of house arrest.

With T.I.’s release coming on March 26, fans will be waiting to see what the rapper’s next move will be. The entertainer will appear on the big screen alongside embattled R&B crooner Chris Brown, Idris Elba and Zoe Saldana in the crime thriller Takers. The film, which also stars Matt Dillon and Paul Walker, is slated to hit theaters on May 14.

Whether he hits the ground running or generates further anticipation, 2010 looks to be a year of infinite possibilities for Mr. Harris.

Charges Officially Filed Against 40/40 Bouncers

(AllHipHop News) Two men who were savagely beaten inside of Jay-Z’s 40/40 club in Atlantic City have officially filed charges against numerous bouncers.

 

Monmouth County Attorney Eugene Melody told the Press of Atlantic City that his client’s formally filed charges against nine bouncers last night (January 11).

 

The two men, Leonard Clark, 25 and Tyrell Durant, 26, were savagely beaten by the group of bouncers in the early morning of November 29th.

 

DJ Zeke took footage of the beating using his cellphone and posted it to YouTube.com.

 

Clark and Durant have filed a total of 14 charges against the nine bouncers. The nine bouncers will be hit with a variety of charges, including assault and indictable assault, for spraying them with a fire extinguisher.

 

All of the bouncers have been fired from their jobs as a result of the beating administered to the two men.

 

“We were initially all suspended and then fired for misconduct,” said Couri Glen, former supervisor of security for the 40/40 Club’s Atlantic City location.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Lloyd Banks’ Serious Problem! Young Buck’s Not Pleased With Gay Rumors!

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.LIL WAYNE AND JR SMITH: THE ALLEGED BLOODY CONNECTION

I asked and people talked. I really have no idea, but some of this makes “sense” in this climate. Well, here is what I was told from one of my sources. Jr Smith and Lil Wayne claim the same set and the two men got cool when JR played for New Orleans. Wayne reportedly also is interested in having Wayne rep Young Money in the same way that LeBron reps for The Roc. Apparently, Lil Wayne’s very good whenever he comes to NJ, Smith’s home state, because the set is deep there. How cool, eh?

 

 

LLOYD BANKS HAS A REAL PROBLEM

OK, the Lloyd Banks situation has been front and center for a couple days now, but here are the rumors. Go to the news section for the latest in factual info.

First things first, this entire melee is all over $5,000. You would think that with a friend like 50 Cent, Banks wouldn’t sweat such a small amount of money. My sources say, it does matter to Banks and suggested that he wasn’t caked um in the way we all think. It seems like the recession is just kicking everybody’s a$$!

From what I have been told, Young Buck WAS actually paid his money to show up for the concert. A lot of people in Canada assumed he didn’t get paid since he performed super short or didn’t perform at all (depending on who you speak to).

Here is the damning evidence. There was tons of hotel security cameras all over the hotel that caught  Banks and his crew entering the alleged victim’s room. The same cameras caught them running out of the hotel rooms when the police came.

Here is the twist and perhaps the only way Banks can get out of this. Banks is now on record saying he was robbed and apparently made statements to police to co-operate in arresting the “robber.” Here is where the 5000.00 truly comes in. Banks and his crew believe that the promoter Hines had something to do with the robbery so they allegedly beat him down until i was time to flee from the cops. There is a massive lawsuit coming from Hines. From what I have been told, Hines has promoted a number of G-Unit shows and made them some good money in Canada.

From what I have been told, this mess will basically get Banks banned from performing or working in Canada FOREVER…over $5k.

ANOTHER YOUNG BUCK, NOT THE G-UNIT DUDE

Yesterday, Monica Danger made the most outrageous allegations: that Ray-J was in a gay relationship with Young Buck. Everybody, including myself speculated that she MIGHT be talking about the Young Buck froom G-Unit. What other Young Buck is there!? Lo and behold, there is another Young Buck that was on the reality show that starred Ray-J. I couldn’t easily find a picture of this other Young Buck. I heard dude (the fake Young Buck) does look pretty “gay,” as if that was any help. I hope he can exonerate the Ten-A-Key Buck that hates 50 Cent.

Ray-J’s Young Buck:

YOUNG BUCK WANTS DANGER TO CLEAR THIS MESS UP!

Young Buck is like, “WTF do I have to do with this mess!?”

USHER ROBBED FOR MORE THAN $1 MILLION IN STUFF

This is factual and from http://www.myfoxatlanta.com.

The incident is still under investigation.

NINA SKY GAY?

Hey, with all this gay stuff running around, I thought I would throw this out there. I don’t even know why this matters. But, I heard a ways back that one of the members of Nina Sky was gay. I saw the following picture at Angie Martinez’s birthday party and thought I would let you guess.

Click here for the other images from the celebration of Angie’s party. Jay-Z, Beyonce and Joe Budden were there, among others.

BEYONCE IS TAKING THAT BREAK

 

Thank god! Beyonce told USA Today that she is going to do a

lot of non-music related stuff. I think the Illuminati had to tell her to chill and let somebody else eat. LOL!

 

Beyonce: It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my

batteries. I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need

to just live life, to be inspired by things again… when I got home, I wrote out

a contract with myself. I made a list of everything I want to do that has

nothing to do with music. Well, some of it does. But I promised myself that I

would not go back on tour or in the studio until I finished these things.

 

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

 

Meth, Rae and Ghost are asking fans to help them with a name for

their new Wu-Group.

 

I’m surprized the racial overtone of Avatar took this long to get

press.

 

Simon is finished with American Idol. That show ran its course

anyway.

 

Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton have broken up, as if

anybody really cared.

 

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

What’s the baby going to be when she grows up?

EPIC WIN OF THE DAY

This crook is far from half way. Look at how slick he is in this picture. The cops think they have evidence on him, but they will fail. Peep it!

KEY KEY COLE’S MOM, WE LOVE YOU!!!

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