The skit was fake, but this only tell how odd this show gets.

Check out the video below, and make sure you watch Tyler’s appearance on the Black Dynamite musical, The Wizard of Watts, airing tonight on Adult Swim.

Russell Simmons' Nephew Alleges Gay, Cult-Like Rituals At Def Jam

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Category: Rumors

I want to say this off the TOP – I cannot confirm in anyway the allegations presented. This is intriguing though, because it comes from Jamel Simmons aka Redrum of the Horrorcore group, The Flatlinerz. This is the group that was signed to Def Jam as the genre of music got popular. They  don’t stop the accusations at Def Jam and Russ either, they go into talking about Jay Z and more! In this exclusive interview with the Murder Master Music Show ugs4life.com – they say a lot of s**t. Read excerpts from the interview below.

 Jam Master Jay was very instrumental in their success:

“I remember Jay took me out for my 25th Birthday, and not long after that he got killed. For people who don’t know, Jam Master Jay is the reason we got signed, he signed us first.”

When asked if anyone knew anything about Jam Master Jay’s murder:

“We don’t really know about that! Who is to say what it was about. We don’t know bruh! He was one of the best, I can’t see it happening. It kind of rocked everybody because he was a good dude. We have been around a lot of industry guys and Jay is one of the realest ever.”

Coming up around Run DMC. Run according to his nephew, was a real street cat and smoked weed early on in his career:

“We use to tour with them, we learned a lot from them. In particular that’s my uncle Joey (Run). I remember when he use to live with my Grandfather in the basement. He use to teach me how to DJ. I also remember he gave me tickets to his first big show in Madison Square Garden. Joe was the m#### f***in dude who got me smokin weed, turned me onto the weed spot at 12 years old. He use to run around with the gangsters like Jimmy back in the day. He was a street n***a, clean!”

When speaking about rituals, the group was asked about witnessing rituals and Def Jam:

“Yep, Yep! I am not giving my soul up and I’m not giving my hole up! Your a##hole is connected to your spine and your spine is connected to your brain”

Surely Russell Simmons wouldn’t be like that would he?

“Like I said everyone has got a good side and a bad side. Everyone has got them eyes for you to see. That’s all I’m gonna say, I ain’t gonna say anymore that’s my Uncle and I love him. That’s all I’m gonna say on that level, on other levels we can talk, but not right now. Everybody has good parts about them but nobody is gonna get to up there with out going through alotta s**t of which I am not willing to go through.”

When asked about the success of Jay-Z Redrum said this:

“He got to the top how he got there. You are asking for answers that we could expand on but s**t is dangerous ni**a. So what I am going to say is any m#### fu**a with eyes can see. Its very clear because they want it to be clear. They want you to make a decision. I know m#### f***az that worship Satan, but they want you to listen to them because you accept it. They want you to know. They own in!”

Does Jay Z Have A MAJOR Boxing Beef?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Some have argued that 50 Cent was kept at bay early on, because he stepped on some big toes in the boxing world when he came in the game. I am not of that world, but I have been told that profession boxing is crazy crooked, mobbed out and all sorts of corrupt. To get in, you have to come in with force and might…unquestioned.

RELATED: 50 Cent believes Jay Z will fail at boxing promotion

I don’t really know all the details but Jay Z has had some issues getting some of the names he wanted, like Adrien Broner. But, he did get hot commodity Andre Ward. First of all, Jigga isn’t working with Al Haymon, who is the unseen king of boxing promotions. The issue is, I think is, Beyonce once sued Al Haymon and her own dad back in the day – like 2011. They were accused of trying to defraud Bey. But the other side of life, Al Haymon has a super close relationship to Live Nation and so does Jay. I am not sure what’s what here, but I know Haymon reps MAD boxers, including Adrien Broner. I think Broner may have been speaking for Al Haymon when he said “f**k Jay Z” and something extra foul about Rihanna. Could Al be p##### because Jay started to wave his money around at serval of his fighters?

Al Haymon is the shadowy man…there are only a few pictures of him!

And to think 50 Cent did this a while ago to considerably less fanfare and hype. He also has had his challenges with breaking the glass boxing ceiling.

Vado – "Song Cry"

Vado draws a little inspiration from Jay Z’s “Song Cry” in his Dolla Bill Kidz produced piece, directed by Itchy House Films.   Vado follows the same formula as the Roc-A-Fella frontman, except telling the story from his perspective. Vado finds out his girl is stepping out on him, even though he’s been doing a little creeping of his own. I guess two wrongs don’t make it right, huh Vado?

The We The Best / Dipset affiliate has been killing it as of late and this is no exception. Check out Vado’s video for “Song Cry” below.

JMSN – "My Way"

By: Eleven8 Updated Category: Videos

Off his Blue album, JMSN releases the video for “My Way”.  JMSN, who often comes up with the treatments for his own visuals, with the direction of Sebastian Maldonado he chose a different approach for this one. Rather than a deep, mind blowing, dark video, the LA singer/songwriter opted for a more simplistic and vintage look. The video looks like something straight out of an 80’s public access television show and if you know JMSN, there’s probably a good reason for that.

The visuals don’t take away from the song, of course. In fact, it actually makes you pay more attention. I suggest you pay close attention to JMSN, who’s embarking on a tour promoting his Blue album very soon.

If you thought Azealia Banks would just disappear and leave twitter alone for a day, well your wrong. Yesterday was marathon for the Harlem rapper on twitter. Not only was she mad about Kendrick Lamar’s remarks toward Ferguson in Billboard’s Cover Interview, but now Banks has a new target: Lupe Fiasco. Last night, the Chicago emcee made a tweet telling “young emotional b*tches” to chill in 2015, and that’s when Azealia Banks came in. Check out the clashes below.

After several tweets of Lupe repeating the same quote Banks made about her stealing his flow, she finally made a comment.

George Zimmerman Is Arrested Again For Aggravated Assault Charges

It looks like after dodging a long sentence in jail by being acquitted of second-degree murder charges for killing 17-year old Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman can’t seem to live life without getting into trouble. Last night, Florida authorities have said that Zimmerman has been arrested for aggravated assault charges.

According to Associated Press, the 31 year old was arrested last night at 10 pm in Lake Mary, and is currently held at John E. Polk Correctional facility. Zimmerman was awaiting a court appearance that was scheduled at 9 am today.

George Zimmerman has had a very checkered past after his Trayvon Martin trial. The former Sanford resident has been arrested consistently for violent situations with his former wife and girlfriend.

This dude is starting to go to jail more than gangster rappers.

 

Champion Boxer Adrien Broner Says "F**k Jay Z"

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Category: Rumors

Jay Z has entered boxing, but not without his detractors.

Adrien Broner is one of them.

Apparently, the rap mogul attempted to woe the boxer from his boxing home with Al Hamon. The attempt was futile.

According to Broner, Jay wanted to earn him $40 million over 5 years. Sounds GREAT to me, but to a champ like Broner, chump change. Broner decided to stick with his tried and true, Al Haymon.

But to say “F**k Jay” and that Rihanna is only good for her ”P***y” is crazy? I mean I would like to prove that to be true or false, but I believe RiRi is worth so much more.

Broner could be creating some sort of boxing beef that will play out in the square with Roc Nation.

The King of R&B, R. Kelly, celebrated his birthday last night in Atlanta, Georgia at the Time Restaurant.

Notable guests in attendance included:

T.I., Bobby V, Kwanza Hall, Tameka Raymond, Phaedra Parks, Marcus Stroud, Mishon Ratliff, Erica Dixon, Keri Hilson, Ebony Steele, Middleman Fresh, Mimi Faust and more. Upon arrival guests mingled, enjoyed complimentary cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and music from DJ King. Upon Kelly’s arrival the DJ prepared the crowd for his grand entrance. Stephens sneakily lead Kelly through the back entrance of the restaurant to the main dining room where the crowd erupted and DJ King premiered Kelly’s latest single, “Birthday.” Sarah from the Bad Girl’s Club jumped out of an artificial cake, and a sea of female models escorted Kelly to his private section where family and friends gathered for a birthday cake presentation moments later. R. Kelly was given a baby grand shaped piano cake which he immediately pretended to play Ray Charles style. The party continued as guests vibed to more of Kelly’s latest and greatest hits in celebration of the King of R&B. The event was facilitated by 10 Squared Pr.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Hov's Family Tired Of Being Cast To The Side For Beyoncé?

By: kubeezz Updated Category: Rumors

There’s never really anything you can do to get in good with in-laws that will make them love you.

And Jay-Z and Beyonce’s case is no different.

Star Magazine is reporting that Hov’s fam feels some type of way about being left out of the couple’s exotic holiday getaway.

“Sources tell Star that Jay Z’s clan is tired of Beyoncé keeping the rapper from his family.
“There are a lot of hurt feelings. His mother and siblings feel like they’ve been cast aside,” explains the insider who says that Jay’s elevator debacle with Beyoncé sister Solange only made things worse.
“While they dealt with the fallout, Bey and Jay were forced to close ranks, and it didn’t include his family.”
The last straw came this Christmas, when the couple ditched the in-laws for a holiday getaway to Thailand. “They were constantly posting photos online – it was seriously heartbreaking to his family,” says the source.
“Showing off to fans clearly was more important to Jay than spending time with loved ones who used to mean the world to him. And they’re blaming her.”

Sounds like a little bit if jealousy…but it may be hard for the Carter clan to share Hov these days…
