Crack rock smoking Toronto mayor Rob Ford continued his egregious antics with Canadian journalists at a recent press conference. He was previously busted smoking crack on camera so we can already imagine the other shenanigans he probably gets himself into while on the job. This time around, he was accused of engaging in oral sex with one of his former staffers but denied “eating pu–y” during a live press conference. Check it:
His defense:
“I would never do that. I’m happily married. I’ve got more than enough to eat at home.”
Wow. Are Canadian politicians more blunt about their antics or is this just a Rob Ford thing? You know how crack can affect people.
(AllHipHop Features) The new wave of Chicago Hip Hop has produced a diverse group of young artists like the alternative style of Chance The Rapper, the rock-inspired music of Rockie Fresh, and the drill sound of Chief Keef. The one Chitown voice that is still largely missing on the national level is that of a new generation femcee. The Southside’s Sasha Go Hard is ready to step into that spot and represent for the ladies.
Sasha first jumped into Hip Hop by spitting rhymes into her phone for fun. Once her friends heard her VoiceNotes raps they suggested she get serious and record in a real studio. Sasha then reached out to her neighborhood friend Chief Keef for advice on how to move forward. He introduced her to DJ Kenn and that led to her very first song “What We Do.”
Since then “Mrs. Kill Bill” has released several mixtapes including Round 3 and Nutty World earlier this year. Nutty World presented a hard Chicago street soundscape while Round 3 featured varied production including a track created by electronic dancehall producer Diplo. That musical transition is an extension of what Sasha calls her natural drive to be different in order to stand out.
AllHipHop spoke with S.G.H. after she returned from her first European tour. The recent birthday girl discusses what lessons she has taken away from the careers of Chief Keef and Nicki Minaj, not being familiar with Diplo’s music, and if she could end up on the MMG roster.
AllHipHop.com: What have you learned by watching Keef’s career over the last couple of years?
Sasha Go Hard: He didn’t let a lot of stuff get to him. He was just living and having fun with it. I learned don’t stress out. He’s a good person even though people got all this stuff to say about him. He’s a cool person. When I first started going around them he taught me how to change my flow. That’s just the type relationship we have. We just have fun with it.
Who are some of the other artists that have influenced you?
I have to say Nicki Minaj. When I first started I was just into the hard drill sound, wanting to make all these hood songs. I realized that when you get to the point that all these different people are paying attention to you, you want to make music for them too. I have all types of fans. Everybody don’t like the drill sound. I learned that being an artist, as you grow, it’s okay to make different songs. Looking at Nicki Minaj making all these different sounds, I learned that I wanna do that too.
Is that what led you to want to work with Diplo?
It’s so crazy. He actually reached out to me, and I didn’t know who he was. I told my people, “This man named Diplo just hit me up. He got a lot of followers and gets a lot of retweets so he must be somebody important.” They were so excited he hit me up. He wanted to send me some beats, and when he sent them through I didn’t feel a bad way about them.
When I heard them it was like I met this sound before. I made one type of different song like that, my song “Pretty Fly.” So when Diplo sent the songs to me I was feeling them. I had to put in my mind it’s okay to make different types of music. If this big guy named Diplo just sent some beats why not?
You seem to have a good working relationship with Maybach Music Group’s Rockie Fresh. Is MMG a label that you’d consider signing with?
I would love to sign to Maybach. I look up to Rick Ross. He’s successful. He’s getting money. He makes good music. I love it. That would be a dream come true if I ever get the chance to sign to him. I think it would be a go if it’s a good deal. I’m not just going to rush into it because he is one of my favorite rappers, but that would be something I’d love to do.
You just recently celebrated your birthday. Where do you see yourself at your 26th birthday?
I see my career being at the top; making way more money, making way better music, my momma being in places she’s never been. I have all these new fans all over the world supporting me now. I can see myself not being able to go anywhere without security. I want that Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus life. That’s how I see it.
Kenya Moore has always been bad but she’s been looking quite thicker than usual since she made her debut on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Her nemesis Porsha, decided to bring up the point on Instagram in a post that she quickly deleted but not before the vultures got screen grabs.
Anyway, Porsha and Kenya’s on going beef seems never ending as Porsha posted the following:
Surgery or not, it still looks good. But what do you think, did Kenya get surgical enhancements to her self-proclaimed “stallion” physique?
(AllHipHop News) Few producers over the past 10 years have been as revered while relatively reclusive than Madlib. In a recent interview with Benij P on BBC Radio One, Madlib spoke on sample digging with Dilla during his final days, what is holding up a new Madvillain and how he figures out what songs he sampled for his beats.
I’ve seen him on his last days, n’ahmean. Digging for records, and finding everything we wanted to find. He had to go out, sit in the car ’cause he was too sick. When he would come back he would find these records that we weren’t. Then he would go out and sit out for a while. That’s how deep he was in the music. Even when he was sick, he still had it.
Madlib also revealed that he “freestyles” when creating beats so he does not keep track of what songs he has sampled and that has led to him being sued quite a bit. To overcome this problem, Madlib says he uses the smartphone app Shazam on his own beats to find the samples.
The elusive beatmaker also gave an update on a new Madvillain album, reasoning that it’s roughly half way finished:
Right now it’s up to DOOM. He’s not obligated to do it, he just does it when he feels it. I know how he feels, you have to do it when you feel it. You can’t just do anything at anytime when somebody tells you to do it. You have to do it on your terms. We’ve recorded about 10, 12 songs but usually we record about 20 and pick the best one. So we have to wait until we get to that mark.
Madlib recently released a new album under his alter-ego Quasimoto this past June entitled Yessir Whatever.
Porsha Stewart from Real Housewives of Atlanta is revealing more and more details about the inner-workings of her marriage that ultimately lead to its failure, and so has Korell.
When we first met the couple it seemed like Porsha was happy being the doting housewife that Kordell wanted but now that they are going through a divorce, Porsha says it wasn’t all roses.
She has been insinuating things about Kordel’s sexuality and even mentioned that while she had nice things provided by Kordell, she usually didn’t even have money in her purse because he was so controlling. There’s more. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Porsha claims that they didn’t really act much like a couple at times.
“Our first year — though we were married for two, it seemed like it was 15, because as a new couple, we went through a lot. I had a miscarriage and major surgery because of fibroids. Through it all, I started to see who Kordell was as a person,” she said. “We just weren’t really attached to each other emotionally the way we needed to be. That was a sign for me that this isn’t going to be the marriage I pictured.”
That entire interview was in response to a radio rant from Kordell where he accused Porsha of being a negligent stepmother who stayed out all night.
“I didn’t hear the interview, and I really don’t care to comment on anything Kordell has to say. He’s saying it for a reason and wants everybody to think of me in one way,” she said. “At the end of the day, Kordell knew who I was to him and what I did and how I felt about his son. I don’t have to justify that at all.” “If I got married again, I would be the exact wife and mother, because I put 100 percent into my relationship.”
