Hip-Hop Rumors: New Reality Show About NYC’s Gay Male Media Personalities?
The question is, who doesn’t have a reality show these days? And if there is still a facet of society that hasn’t been exploited via reality TV, just hold on because it’s coming soon…allegedly.
Word around the business is that there are a few gay male media personalities in New York City who are being considered for a potential show. Some work within the urban realm and others mainstream. Part of the scandal is that some of the men being considered are out, while others…not so much.
Internet personality Kid Fury is said to be one of the personalities producers are considering but my little birdy wouldn’t give me anymore names for the potential look. This isn’t a concrete plan just yet because things are still being worked out.

T-Pain Talks Being Upset Over Praise For Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak”
(AllHipHop News) T-Pain is credited by many as the person who revived the mechanically altered vocalization in music that was previously used by artists like Roger Troutman. While T-Pain made a name for himself with his Auto-Tune hits, perhaps the most celebrated album that incorporated the technique is Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak.

Pain recently told VladTV that he was actually thrown off by the attention Ye’s fourth album received. According to the Florida singer, he felt as if he did not get the proper recognition for his work with Auto-Tune prior to Kanye’s 2008 project.
“I respect that s**t, but the praise that he got from it was like ‘Oh, my God. This is so creative. This is the new s**t’,” said T-Pain. “I’m like what happened to 2005 when I dropped Rappa Ternt Sanga and it was the same album? That’s kind of weird. It just feel like I was unappreciated.”
During the Q&A, T-Pain also discusses the creation of Auto-Tune as well as working with Kanye on 808s and their collaborative track “Good Life” off 2007’s Graduation.

Sources Claim Allegations Young Jeezy Attacked His Son Is Just A Set Up
(AllHipHop News) Social media went crazy this week when news broke that Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy was arrested for allegedly attacking his 17-year-old son in 2012. Sources reportedly close to Jeezy tell TMZ that most of the information being reported about the incident is false.
[ALSO READ: Young Jeezy Arrested For Imprisoning And Assaulting Son]
The sources claim Jeezy and his son Jadarius did get into a heated verbal argument, but the only time there was any physical contact between the two was when Jeezy pushed Jadarius to the floor after the boy got in his face. The argument apparently began because Jeezy told his son that he did not want him staying at his house any longer because of his “punk kid” attitude.
Jeezy was also accused of making terroristic threats against Jadarius during the altercation, including saying that he would kill him. The rapper says that the exchange only included the statement, “I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it.”
TMZ sources say Jeezy’s arrest was instigated by Jadarius’ mother, Tenesha D####, as a set-up in order to get more money from the rapper.

On Drake:
The former Degrassi star has pulled in over $30 million in the past two years, boosted by live shows and endorsements with the likes of Sprite and Kodak. Look for him to build on that with his latest arena tour in support of new album Nothing Was The Same.
On Kendrick Lamar:
Dr. Dre’s latest protégé earned $9 million last year after releasing smash hit Good Kid, m.A.A.d City and playing over 100 live shows. Better yet: he earned seven Grammy nominations, more than any other artist besides Jay Z.
On Wiz Khalifa:
“My flow’s so sick you might want to absorb this,” the Pittsburgh native rapped last year. “Best believe every year young Khalifa gonna make that Forbes list.” He has, for the third consecutive year, while raking in $14 million from strong sales of his music, merch and concert tickets.
Other artists to make Forbes’ “30 Under 30” music list include Rihanna, Miguel, and Janelle Monae. The sports list features Kevin Durant, Brittney Griner, LeBron James, and Derrick Rose.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Rumors About Shyheim’s Alleged Hit-N-Run!
Mannnnn…if you look at the internet, they are going IN on Shyheim! Shyeim has been around since he was “The Rugged Child” back in the 90’s. But he’s 36 now and in a world of s**t. And for good reason. If you didn’t see the report, hit the link below.
There is more than enough reason to diss Shy if you are reading the basic news on the case. But, I am hearing there is more to the story. Basically, the streets are talking. Shyheim has had his street situations, but this one may have been an unfortunate one that resulted in the death of a 29 year old man, Felipe. And Felipe’s people are P##### as they should due to the loss of a loved one.
“My family was friends with Felipe (the man this waste of life murdered.) Then this ni**a is too broke to afford his lawyer fees for a case he’s definatly gonna lose. Theres no getting out of this one you piece of s**t, own up to what you did and do the time. You don’t deserve a fair trial. Everyone should donate money for the family of the victim instead not to this piece of s**t.”
But, I’m hearing Shyheim was running from somebody that was shooting bullets at him, trying to kill him. He was being per sued crazily and then ran the stop sign that ended up causing the death of Felipe. Now, it has not been revealed in the news, but I am told that their may be forensics to support this (meaning bullet holes in the car that Shyheim was driving). This is the rumor as to why Shy ran from the scene of the crime – he was running from his life, I’m hearing. Obviously, the facts will be revealed later. I’m not sure if this rumor, should it be true, will help him at all in a legal sense of it all.
Shyheim’s first song shows ain’t nothing changed.
