Word on the digital curb is that Mama Joyce is so fed up with Real Housewives of Atlanta Producers that she may not return to the show. She claims that they’ve used editing to make her look like a villain. She also claims that Kandi’s friend Carmon set the stage for the epic meltdown heard ’round the blogosphere.
If you’re familiar with the show then you remember the incident in the wedding shop where Mama Joyce and her Old Lady Gang nearly beat Carmon down. So yeah, Mama Joyce says it wasn’t her fault she acted like a 60-year-old hood rat and that it was caught on camera.
Sure...
There’s not all the editing in the world that can erase what you actually did. Plus, Kandi has admitted that her family drama has put her impeding wedding in jeopardy several times.
But I guess when it comes to people wilding out on reality TV, if all else fails, blame CGI and sorcery.
Leading a cultish existence, Deniro Farrar, transforms his thoughts into art. Never hesitating to spit legitimate lyrics, Farrar’s, growing musical family appreciates the unfaltering depth of an expanding perspective. A message, which originated in North Carolina, continues to resonate with a growing global audience. The MC’s natural gift, organic showmanship, and pure humanity helped to garner a recording deal from Warner Brothers and VICE records. The platform has been elevated; these are his words:
AllHipHop.com: On “Feel This” you say, “…I put my life in these beats so I live in these songs…” According to Qushawn Farrar, what is Hip-Hop, and ideally what would you like it to be?
Deniro Farrar: [chuckles] With the state that Hip-Hop is in right now—I wouldn’t even call it Hip-Hop. I feel like we’re living in a time where it’s no longer Hip-Hop. It’s transitioning to something totally different. There’s transition; some are for the better some are for the worse. It’s just transitioning with the times. I feel like things get better and things get worse. Now the whips are much cooler, but they’re not really made out of sh*t. There’s a positive and a negative to everything. I mean, it is what it is, you know what I’m saying.
I would like to be Rap. When you look up the word Rap in the dictionary you see a picture of me. It says, ‘Deniro Farrar: is Rap.’ To be honest, I would like to see it get back to the essence from which it came from. And that’s real music, you know, definitely.
AllHipHop.com: In your opinion, there’s a difference between the art and the culture?
Deniro Farrar: Yes, it’s totally different. There’s a difference between the art and the culture. The culture is just like transitioning with the times. The art is when people actually take their time to perfect something and not just give you anything. Technically, the culture of Rap music isn’t art. In a sense, getting a tattoo is part of our culture. It’s when people’s body tell a story trough their tattoos—that’s art. There’s a difference.
AllHipHop.com: How is the significance of the array of your life’s different situations propelling your art and your business decisions?
Deniro Farrar: I’m keeping good people around me—positive people—people who have been blessed.
AllHipHop.com: Has your circle changed since you’ve got on?
Deniro Farrar: I don’t got no new friends. You know what I’m saying, my last new friend is Annie [his current publicist]. No more new people are slipping through the cracks. Basically, I just structure the business the way it needs to be structured. There’s no nonsense; all the people are positive. From day one, they’ve been blessed. They’re just human. They’re not like other people; we’re just human.
AllHipHop.com: Given that your investment into your art has earned you both personal and professional success, how are you using this accomplishment to help empower those around you?
Deniro Farrar: Technically, at this point, I wouldn’t consider myself successful. In some people’s eyes I am, but I have such a long way to go. I feel like this is just the beginning. If anything I’m in the beginning stages of the success. You know, it inspires people around me. All the time, I get text messages from the people who came from the same struggle that I come from. To see me in New York doing a show like such—it gives people inspiration. It makes them feel like anything could happen. It’s a good feeling.
AllHipHop.com: If the first two verses of DESTINY.altered encapsulate your life’s story; how long did it take you to write it; what will the next project possess to further allow your supporters access into your world?
Deniro Farrar: Um, to be honest, I can’t even tell you what creative space I was in when I wrote that song. I don’t want to lie about it. The creative process and the writing process is different. A lot of songs, every word will come to me right then and there. Some songs takes days to write. I can’t say, that was so long ago. I don’t even know what creative space I was in at the time. When I write music I’m always in a different space. I can’t really pinpoint what space I was in more.
AllHipHop.com: What will your next project possess that will grant your supporters more access to you?
Deniro Farrar: Um, It will possess more me—just exposed in my insecurities and my vulnerabilities. I’m just going with my life story. That’s all I do on tracks anyway. It will get more in-depth into my life with the things that I’ve experienced since dropping [The] Patriarch II. It will go into my life with the deal and the signing [to VICE and Warner Bros. records] and my two sons, of course. My brother is still fighting his pending case. You know, coming up to New York and doing all these shows—getting all these good looks—it’s all going to be in the new project.
AllHipHop.com: How do you draw that boundary between your professional life and personal life?
Deniro Farrar: I want my story to be shared with the world. So, nothing is too personal for the world to know. I’m a human, you know what I’m saying, I’m blessed.
AllHipHop.com: Until the next time, what would you like to share with AllHipHop.com?
Deniro Farrar: I just want everybody to stay blessed. I want them to know that they’ve been blessed since birth. Follow the whole cult-Rap movement. It’s a real movement. I’m bringing real Rap back!
Dude, the South Bronx was like a war zone at that time and those older gods didn’t play! So, there is some crazy beef going on with some person I never heard of. The audio of this beef has played out on youtube in the most millennial way. Corny. But now that the audio is here, there are rumors. I am hearing that this audio is actually very old – somewhere in the area of 2005. So why is it coming out now? Clearly, KRS feels he was threatened in the audio and has to do what it takes to protect his home. But, I’m thinking this is somebody looking to exact revenge in the form of character assassination. They took a lot of time to create this video. Its compelling but not damning.
What do you think?

A Russian man who tried to rob a hair salon learned a major lesson about why life as a criminal isn’t the ideal path.
Viktor Jasinski, 32, admitted to police that he intended to rob a salon in Meshchovsk, Russia but things didn’t work out so well. The female shop owner, who had a black belt in karate, beat him down, tied him up with a hair dryer cable and then used him as a sex slave for three days.
She allegedly stripped him naked and, for the next three days, used him as a sex slave to ‘teach him a lesson’ – force feeding him Viagra to keep the lesson going.
The would-be robber was eventually released, with Zajak saying he had learned his lesson.
Jasinski went straight to the police and told them of his back-room ordeal, saying that he had been held hostage, handcuffed naked to a radiator, and fed nothing but Viagra.
Both have now been arrested.
When police arrived to question Zahjac, she said: ‘What a bastard. Yes, we had sex a couple of times. But I bought him new jeans, gave him food and even gave him 1,000 roubles when he left.”
I’m all for criminals getting karma on the spot but this is ridiculous.

A Twitter account claiming to belong to Aja Metoyer, Dwyane Wade’s clandestine babymama, threw some shade at Gabrielle Union over the weekend but now the account claims that it’s not Metoyer.
This is the original series of tweets claiming to have had a 9-year relationship with Wade:
Those tweets have been deleted but not before they were captured. Why don’t people learn? Anyway, now this person claims that she isn’t Metoyer. Peep game:
Many rappers have spoken out about Doe B’s untimely passing, the latest being Young Scooter who has dedicated his latest track, “Letter 2 The Streets” to the late emcee.
The instrumental alternates between understated piano riffing to menacing synthesized strings, and finds ScooWop busting out some of his biggest melodies yet about halfway through.
(AllHipHop News) At this point, it may save a lot of time and confusion to just call him Calvin Broadus. The ever changing Snoop Lion has assumed a new form for his music video for “Get Away” featuring Major Lazer: a Pokemon.
Directed by Ashten “Whoopi” Winger and animated by Mykola Dosenko the video finds Snoop Lion and production team Major Lazer transformed into digital characters on a quest.
The song “Get Away” appears on Snoop Lion’s first reggae album, Reincarnated which has been nominated for Best Reggae Album at this year’s Grammy’s.
Check out the 16-bit video for Snoop Lion and Major Lazer’s “Get Away” below:
A South Carolina couple was in the middle of chaos while the rest of us were getting ready to ring in the new year. Police showed up to the home of Helen Ann Williams, 44, on December 30, at 12:20 a.m, where they found a 41-year-old man covered in blood from chest and facial lacerations, according to UPI.
The man told authorities that his wife got enraged when he returned home without beer because the store was closed, and used a ceramic squirrel to beat him over the head and stab him.
However, the wife had a different story. She claimed her husband fell and cut himself and that the blood she had on her hand and clothes had already been there.
Riiiight.
The police took her into custody and the man was treated at a hospital.
This had to be deeper than beer though. Seriously?
(AllHipHop News) James Avery and Will Smith share no DNA, however since The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air‘s debut on September 10th, 1990, they have been inseparable from the national consciousness. Yesterday (January 5th), Will Smith spoke on Avery’s untimely death for the first time since the tragic incident.
On his personal Facebook page, Smith shared a photo of himself with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air co stars Alfofnso Ribiero, Karyn Parsons-Rockwell, Tatayana Ali and the late James Avery. Deeming the photo as “the last time we were together” Smith shared his thoughts on his former TV uncle:
Some of my greatest lessons in Acting, Living and being a respectable human being came through James Avery. Every young man needs an Uncle
Phil. Rest in Peace
Ribiero originally broke the news of Avery’s death on his personal Facebook account on New Year’s Day:
The world has lost a truly special man. I am very saddened to say that James Avery has passed. Even though he played my father on TV, he was a wonderful father figure to me in life. He will be deeply missed.
