(AllHipHop News) Orange is still Remy Ma. According to reports, Remy Ma’s scheduled release from prison has been postponed due to disciplinary action.

A New York State parole officer informed Revolt that Remy Ma would not be released from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, reportedly due to a recent fight with an inmate which had the rapper spend her final week in solitary confinement. No official word on if the fight was the reason, but Remy Ma was sent to solitary confinement on July 21st, the same day she phoned in to Angie Martinez’s radio show.

Papoose, along with Remy’s family and friends waited outside of the prison and were not informed of her delayed release until around noon, according to Miss Info.

Remy Ma was sentenced to eight years in prison on May 14th, 2008 after she was convicted of shooting former friend Makeda Barnes Joseph.

(AllHipHop News) When interviewing Onyx, do not be slick. During a recent interview, Fredro Starr got into an on-air argument with Charlamagne Da God, explained what transpired between him and 50 Cent at the 2003 Vibe Magazine Awards and more.

During the interview, Charlamagne Da God referenced a 2008 interview Starr had with C.O.D. Magazine in which he state that Brandy performed oral sex on him during his time on Moesha. Starr took offense to that stating “You bringing up the past. Lets move to the future.” When Starr referenced Charlamagne running from five men attempting to assault back in June 2012, Charlamagne countered with “50 [Cent] hit you too, right”, referencing 50 Cent and Starr’s physical altercation at the 2003 Vibe Awards’ rehearsals.

[Charlamagne- You talking about the Brandy thing?] Yeah, I’m talking about with that. [Charlamagne- What do you want me to do? You said it] I don’t want you to do anything. You going to do what you do. Y’all n*ggas ain’t play my record up here. [Charlamagne- “I ain’t heard a record.”] You dont need to, n*gga.

Back in 2003, during rehearsals for the Vibe Magazine Awards, 50 Cent had a physical altercation. According to Starr, the beef started over 50 Cent not approving of Fredro Starr helping former rival Domination from securing a deal with Koch Records:

Jam Master Jay put both of us on from New York. Boom. Him and Domination had a problem. I got Domination some money at Koch Records. [50 Cent] had a problem with that. So, when I seen the n*gga, I ain’t even know it was a problem. N*gga swung on me, n*gga missed. Straight up. He can say what he want to say.

(AllHipHop News) Jay Electronica earned the praise of Minister Louis Farrakhan for publicly supporting the Fruit of Islam at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. Now Electronica and surprise concert guest Jay Z are featured on the cover of the Nation of Islam’s The Final Call newspaper.

The Final Call also ran an article on its website titled “God’s Influence In Hip Hop.” The piece explores the impact the Nation of Islam, Five Percent Nation, and Black liberation theology have had on Hip Hop artists, fans, and culture.

The article also covered Electronica’s show in Brooklyn. A few people connected to the N.O.I. and Nation of Gods and Earths were asked about two standout points from the event – the New Orleans native wearing the F.O.I. uniform and Jay Z giving a 5% chain to Jay E.

Electronica confidante and Islamic studies professor Dr. Wesley Muhammad stated:

Life for a large segment of Black people revolves around the dictation of rappers. There is no other element in our community that has that power—not sports figures, none of our religious figures—no one does. And only a God can make a god. I have to assume that the Hip Hoppers have that power by Allah’s permission, which suggests that Allah has deep interest in using the Hip Hop community and what I think what happened in Brooklyn signals to the world that Allah is ready to take control of this powerful artistic expression.

Brand Nubian member and The 5% Album creator Lord Jamar added:

To have the brother Jay Electronica to come there with the F.O.I. dressed in full F.O.I. garb was a strong statement to make today in Hip Hop. Then to receive the chain from Jay Z that has the Universal Flag on it and to be wearing that in conjunction with the F.O.I. uniform, I thought was a very strong statement because both those ciphers are inextricably intertwined and to see that psychological display of unity I think was beautiful, especially at a time in Hip Hop— and in music in general—where finding something positive is almost non-existent.

(AllHipHop News) GQ magazine decided to make a list of the 21 best albums released in the 21st Century. Of course, several Hip Hop projects made the final countdown with Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy actually taking the top spot.

[ALSO READ: Report: Kanye West Wants To Release Next Album As A Surprise]

GQ explained why they honored Ye’s 5th studio LP with the title of best album since the year 2000. The site wrote:

It could’ve been any one of the seven albums West released this century, as fascinating a catalog of celebrity, triumph, love, loss, terrible puns, pretty decent puns, that was ever f###### put together by a single artist. MBDTF was just the record where he talked about all those things at once—a portrait of a man seizing the spotlight, drowning in it, and then somehow finding a way to turn that harrowing experience into art. Anybody who wants to be famous or make music for a living—or do both at the same time—should be forced to listen to MBDTF first. The rest of us are free to enjoy it for the bloody, hard-won, titanic achievement that it is.

Other rap albums the publication suggests “every man should hear” include OutKast’s Stankonia (3), Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele (10), Jay Z’s The Blueprint (12), and J Dilla’s Donuts (19).

R&B was held down by D’Angelo with Voodoo (6), Frank Ocean with channel ORANGE (7), and Beyoncé with Beyoncé (18). To see the full list visit GQ.com.
