(AllHipHop News) A court has ruled that the embattled city of Detroit can now file for bankruptcy, a landmark decision.

This represents the largest bankruptcy filing in the history of the United States.

The city now has protection from its creditors and will submit a plan to restructure its $18 billion in debt, according to a new report from the BBC.

A judge said that the city had made a good faith effort to pay creditors, but was unable because of the vast extent of the debt. The ruling will also protect the pension pay out of the elderly.

The report also said that roughly 40% of Detroit’s streetlights don’t work and there are about 150,000 vacant lots and buildings in the city.
Right now, the city’s population is about 700,000, a dramatic decline from the 1950 peak of 1.8 million.

Detroit still offers a vibrant music scene that touts a number of notable Hip-Hop acts.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Erica Mena and Cyn Santana's Relationship Fake?

By: Friday Foster Updated Category: Rumors

Word on the street is Erica Mena had to make some major shake ups in her personal story line in order to stay on the current season of Love & Hip-Hop New York so she went the lesbian route. In previous seasons she mentioned that she “smashes” women but these days she’s allegedly in a relationship with the previously straight Cyn Santana.

Whispers are saying that the relationship was fabricated to created tension with Rich. Who better to put in the middle of a love triangle with two women? Cyn Santana has also been trying to get her Instagram modeling career off the ground so why not go for it, right?

Sounds plausible. Maybe it will by Erica another season on the show.

Cole’s sophomore album was the song “Rich N****z.” The cut opens with the Roc Nation emcee rapping “I hate rich n****s,” but it then goes on to reveal the rapper’s own apprehension about the fact he is now one of those people with money he use to hate.

Cole spoke with Hard Knock TV to discuss track 9 off Born Sinner. He talks about growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina feeling jealous of his classmates who were more well off than him. He shares another story about his mother having to take on a part-time job and his worries that she would get hurt delivering pizza at night.

Cole also refers to “Rich N****z’s” second verse where he calls out rappers who focus all their rhymes on wealth and material possessions. He then questions himself on whether he is now a part of that group of entertainers that put money first.

“I’m talking to this rapper like, ‘Damn, your flow is ill, but the only thing you offer to world is talking about how much money you have?” says Cole. “I know you’re suppose to write your life, but damn you ain’t got nothing else to talk about. I see through you… Oh s**t. Am I becoming you? That’s the fear.”
