(AllHipHop News) “Illuminati wants my mind soul and my body,” rapped Prodigy on LL Cool J’s “I Shot Ya (Remix).” Two decades later the Mobb Deep member sat down with Peter Bailey to discuss Hip Hop’s obsession with linking successful artists to the so-called secret society.
“It’s too much confusion with all that Illuminati stuff and all that secret society stuff. We need people that’s able to explain it in the right way,” said Prodigy. “It’s not what everybody thinks it is. They put a lot of misinformation on the internet, because they know the young kids are interested. They’re trying to learn. They’re investigating.”
One rapper that has long been suspected of being connected to the Illuminati is Jay Z. The Brooklyn born emcee even sampled Prodigy’s “I Shot Ya” line for his own “D’Evils.” That song is often cited by conspiracy theorists as “proof” that Jay works with dark forces.
While Prodigy contends there is a system in place that is used to control the population and wipe out the history of African-Americans, he does not believe Jay Z or any entertainer is part of a group maintaining that hierarchy.
“When somebody like [President] Obama wins, ‘Oh, he’s Illuminati.’ Or when Jay Z sells whatever million records, ‘[It’s] cause he’s Illuminati. He got Beyoncé. They’re down with the Illuminati.’ A lot of that stuff is false information,” added Prodigy. “There’s a lot of truth to the politic side and the government side, but a lot of these artists – they have nothing to do with that.”
Earlier in the interview, Prodigy admitted he was not an early supporter of Obama, and he did not agree with the idea of voting for a candidate just because he was Black. He later changed his views on the importance of Obama’s race as the Commander In Chief.
“I seen a lot of red flags with Obama, certain things that he wasn’t bringing up, certain things he wouldn’t challenge in the debates. Like the Federal Reserve and how corrupt it is,” Prodigy stated. “Later on I started to realize, ‘You know what? It’s good that we have a Black president, because it inspires the young Black kids out there that feel hopeless.’ He gives hope to my son and my daughter when they can see a Black family in the White House. That’s cool, but to me it’s just a look.”

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper OG Maco called out fellow A-Town native Future in a tweet last week. The “U Guessed It” performer wrote, “I love Future but also I understand Future has destroyed countless lives by making it cool to be a drug addict. 56 Xans isn’t cool.”
While appearing on HuffPost Live, Future was asked about Maco’s tweet, and the “F*ck Up Some Commas” rhymer told Marc Lamont Hill that Maco would have to say something to his face. Future also added, “He needs to rap about what he rap about. He needs to get out there and start rapping church bible verses, and then he won’t have an opinion on Hip Hop.”
Maco returned to Twitter to address Future’s interview. In one tweet, he states he never had a problem with saying anything to Future’s face. Another included links to two of his songs with “bible verses.”

Twenty minutes later, Maco posted another tweet saying he spoke with Future, and he blamed the media for attempting to “turn positives into negatives.”
Last year when Michael Brown, Jr was murdered by police in Ferguson, Mo, St. Louis Hip-Hop artist Tef Poe was among the first people in the community to respond and speak out.

Allegedly, Nas’s first baby mama Carmen Bryan is homeless, and has been since last summer. Perception is not always reality, so we could see this. It has been said that Nas cut Bryan off a little while after his daughter turned 18. It looks like that tell-all book didn’t do numbers. Allegedly, Nas cut her off after she spread lies about him on social media. It has also been said that she’s been house squatting in Queens, hopping from house to house telling old stories from the ’90s, and after that gets old she uses buddy passes to do the same in Atlanta and LA. We hope this isn’t true!
Rumor has it that photographer Giordano Cipriani says Kendrick Lamar used his photo of a woman breastfeeding to promote his single, “The Blacker The Berry” without permission or payment.

Apparently Ciprani wants Kendrick to pay him $150,000 for each time the photo was used, and he wants the rapper to pay his legal fees. We will see if Kendrick has to pay up.
It seems like Safaree should just give it up. People aren’t really here for him or his music career. It’s terrible for your whole existence to be overshadowed by being Nicki Minaj’s ex and for being corny. This crowd looked beyond dead and bored. We don’t see it getting better.

It seems like a fake Amber Rose Twitter account has been throwing plenty of hate Tyga’s way. The funny thing about the account is its handle is very similar to Amber Rose’s, and the tweets actually seem like things she would say. Remember she didn’t hold anything back when she went in on the Kardashians not too long ago. Since many were naive enough to believe it was really Rose, she took to her Instagram to clear things up.

July 11th, 2015 marked the 11th anniversary of the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. Common was the headliner and even though a Chicago native, Common confessed, when he moved to NYC, he lived in Brooklyn and has love for the BK Borough. But, Common was wise enough to still bring a BK representer and who he calls a “legend,” BK’s own Foxy Brown.
