(AllHipHop News) The tension between The Game and 40 Glocc has been raging for years. The two California rappers are headed in front of a judge after 40 filed a $4.5 million lawsuit against The Documentary 2 creator. Game spoke with Sway Calloway about the pending case over a 2012 altercation.
“You know what’s crazy about it? He’s still on the internet talking crazy – ‘I’m a fake this. I’m that. See me’,” said Game. “You’re about to see me on Monday in the court. The trial and tribulations of being The Game.”
Besides legal fights, Game has also returned to TV on VH1’s She’s Got Game. The Compton representative responded when Sway suggested that “reality TV kills the rap star.”
“I think it helped,” Game stated about his first series Marrying the Game. “All throughout my existence in Hip Hop, I’ve been an open book as far as my love for my children and my family.”
He added, “I’m not turning down $1 million to do nothing on TV. I just can’t. I got too many kids, too many homies, too many bills, too many cars, mortgages and all that. So I’ll get on there and do some back flips.”
The interview later focused on the current West Coast Hip Hop scene. With artists like Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, YG, Dom Kennedy, and Tyler, The Creator making serious noise, Game still sees himself at the top of the pyramid.
“Everybody out here is doing their thing. I’m still king,” declared Game. “We’re all kings. Let’s not get it confused, Kendrick is one of the dopest lyricists in Hip Hop, ever. But I’m on my sixth album though. I ain’t lost no steam… lyrically as an emcee, can’t nobody f*ck with me. And if I lose, I might beat your ass. So what are we talking about?”

(AllHipHop News) In the movie Straight Outta Compton, Dr. Dre’s character made it clear he was not feeling the shiny outfits he and the rest of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru had to put on during performances. The image of Dre wearing the Cru’s attire has become ammo for his critics for years, even sparking rumors the legendary producer is gay.
The founder of WWWC, Alonzo “Lonzo” Williams, spoke with VladTV about the speculation Dre was homosexual. Williams stated he did not believe the N.W.A member was attracted to men.
“One thing I know about Dre – he loves the women. He and I knocked off a couple of them together,” said Lonzo. “He ain’t never did nothing to me, so he’s alright with me. That’s always some silly stuff people say when they try to cut you off at the knees.”
Lonzo also addressed the Straight Outta Compton movie. After admitting he enjoyed the film, the California based DJ called the biopic “a great fusion of fantasy and reality.”

(AllHipHop News) It seems something big could be coming involving the late Tupac Shakur. The verified Twitter account for the iconic emcee posted a tweet yesterday (August 23) that claims a “special announcement” is coming later today from Pac’s estate.
The internet is abuzz with speculation on what the world can expect to find out at 5 pm. Most of the talk is about the possibility the long-awaited 2Pac biopic is finally set to move forward. There have been reports Marcc Rose, the actor that played Pac in Straight Outta Compton, is working with famed director John Singleton on a movie.
“Me and director John Singleton are trying to brainstorm and form together a proper biopic for him,” said Rose. “Hopefully if everything works out we can make it work.”
Singleton was once attached to the 2Pac film being produced by L.T. Hutton. He was replaced by Devil In A Blue Dress director Carl Franklin. Singleton stated he was upset about the direction the motion picture was taking.
“The reason I am not making this picture is because the people involved aren’t really respectful of the legacy of Tupac Amaru Shakur,” wrote Singleton.
AllHipHop.com spoke with Hutton in 2014. The Program Pictures executive and former 2Pac associate at Death Row Records guaranteed the biopic from his camp would tell an honest portrayal of the music legend.
“People know bits and pieces. I was fortunate enough to be right in the middle of all of it, so I know exactly what happened,” explained Hutton. “It’s going to be covered like you haven’t seen it before. We’re going to dispel some of the myths about it. I don’t want to give it away, but it’s more realistic than Notorious. It’s not a diss. It’s just the truth.”
(AllHipHop News) News broke last week that a Straight Outta Compton “sequel” titled Dogg Pound For Life was in the works. It appears Universal Studios is passing on the idea, but 50 Cent may pick up the project instead.
Tha Dogg Pound member Daz Dillinger has said he reached out to 50 about producing the movie. The New York Hip Hop mogul then posted a message on his Instagram page essentially confirming he is ready to get on board.
“Daz knows I’ll get the job done, in a heartbeat,” wrote 50.
Dogg Pound For Life is set to cover the story of Daz and his partner Kurupt as well as Snoop Dogg and 2Pac. The movie will center around the rise of the Death Row Records roster. Straight Outta Compton producers Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are not formally connected to the film, but Cube reportedly approved of the idea.

Abilene, TX rapper and 300 Ent member (same label as Fetty Wap), T-Wayne, sits down with DJ Smallz and decodes his new mixtape, “Who Is Rickey Wayne,” providing further insight from the artwork to a few songs. The crazy part about T-Wayne is how he completely blew up on one song that was supposed to be a freestyle. With hundreds of millions of plays on Spotify on his song “Nasty” this kid is likely to be around for a while.
“Fun Fact: I ate a weed brownie and almost died (well at least in my mind i did) while on the Pink Print tour,” wrote Dej Loaf in a recent Twitter post. Today (Aug. 23), the “Try Me” rapper used the social media site to recall an adventurous experience between herself and an innocent looking chocolate morsel.
The humorous account made Dej question her mortality and she reminisced, “Whole time I was thinking like (so this is what it feels like to die) It was mentally painful.” Eventually, the Detroit native playfully admonished herself and decided to “Stick to Hennessy,” before she responsibly advised “Kids, don’t do drugs.”
Check out the gallery to view all of Dej Loaf’s tweets.
Earlier today (Aug. 23), a seemingly agitated Fetty Wap posted a video to his personal Instagram account. In it, the “My Way,” rapper refuted rumors by MediaTakeOut that he was robbed and that his locs were pulled out. According to the sensational website, while he performed in Washington D.C. at Club Stadium he was allegedly confronted and brutalized by a group of goons.
In a candid caption that accompanied the video, the Patterson native added, “@mediatakeout suck my d*** ?.” Check out the video where the emerging rapper who has recently made Billboard history, challenges the authenticity of the site’s reporting.
