I don’t watch these reality shows too much. They take up too much time and brain cells, but one reoccurring thread is this thing that Joe Budden and Tahiry have going on. They go back and forth so much, but recently Joey put it all on the line – seemingly in New York’s Times Square. He came just short of asking her to marry him.
Check out the video below and after the video, I’ll tell you what I heard Tahiry said.
I heard Tahiry said, “No!”
I might add that some people are saying that this was a marriage proposal. It sure seemed like it.

Moët & Chandon and Hip-Hop go back to the 80’s, as the culture has always had a penchant for pricey spirits. Now, in 2013, there is a new standard for the many moguls (real and aspirational) to sip. Moët & Chandon introduces the Moët Nectar Impérial Rosé Leopard luxury limited edition in a 6-litre Methuselah size bottle. According to a recent release, this bottle was created for those special celebratory moments. Moet & Chandon opted to choose the leopard camouflage pattern to match the “bold, energetic luxury rose demi-sec” of the most popular champagne in the world. How did Moët & Chandon make it happen? They commissioned acclaimed French engravers Arthus-Bertrand to handcraft each of only 60 6-litre bottles with 22-carat gold leaves. “As a wine, Moët Nectar Impérial Rosé pleases the senses with its refined and sophisticated richness and distinguishes itself by its extravagant fruitiness, its density on the palate and crisp finish which surprises and delights,” says a statement. You have to have long dollars to achieve this level of opulence. This luxury limited edition bottle is priced at $5,000 and will be shipping nationally on Decebm will be available at Sherry-Lehmann Wine & Spirits in New York, shipping nationally December 1, 2013. And, of course, it will be readily available at nightclubs across the nation.
Here are some images of the lovely, bottle as well as a star studded Moët & Chandon dinner in Atlanta a few weeks ago.
(AllHipHop News) Some of the fathers of Hip Hop are joining forces to create a museum dedicated to the culture’s historical and educational impact. Grandmaster Melle Mel, Grandmaster Caz, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grand Wizard Theodore are working with the Windows of Hip Hop development project to establish a new exhibition hall in the birthplace of Hip Hop – The Bronx.
“Any institution dedicated to Hip Hop has to be in the Bronx. We’re trying to make that a reality,” Caz told The New York Daily News.
“We’re going to see this become a reality. It’s a celebration of what we did in the past, as well as the present and what we can do in the future,” added Mel.
The mission of Windows of Hip Hop is “to explore Hip Hop’s origins and celebrate it’s cultural & historical significance in the world through exhibits, presentations, performances and educational programs.” Both Grandmaster Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz serve on the board of WoHH.
As Mel and Caz prepare to honor Hip Hop’s vibrant past, they also have strong opinions about the culture’s present. When asked what they think about rap music today neither legend admits to being too fond of what they hear.
“I really can’t stand it. It’s way too juvenile. It’s way too violent. It doesn’t stand for anything,” stated Melle Mel.
“Hip Hop is beautiful today. Hip Hop in its truest sense hasn’t changed,” shares Caz. “Now, rap music, rap music needs an enema. Rap music needs a good flush-out.”
(AllHipHop News) Kanye West’s first solo tour in five years faced some difficulties over the last several weeks as numerous stops had to be postponed. An apparent traffic accident involving one of the equipment trucks put the Yeezus Tour on hold, but the trek is back rolling again with some new make-up dates added.
Fans who missed the shows in Chicago, Toronto, and Detroit will have the chance to see Ye and opener Kendrick Lamar next month. Unfortunately, the Vancouver, Denver, Minneapolis, Montreal, St. Louis, and Columbus dates have been cancelled permanently.
(AllHipHop News) Chicago rap group Hotstylz felt a certain way about Eminem using their “Lookin’ By” flow in his The Marshall Mathers LP 2 single “Rap God”. The trio decided to drop a diss track aimed at Slim called “Rap Fraud.”
On the song Krazee, Meatball and Raydio G borrow some of Em’s signature flows and voices as they spit lyrics like, “Hey, my name’s Marshall and I’m addict. I steal people sh*t without giving them credit… why they mad? Cause we one-hit wonders, but your greedy a** had to go take that one hit from us.”
(AllHipHop News) According to reports Kanye West formally entered a not guilty plea in his misdemeanor battery and attempted grand theft case. The charges are result of the altercation at the LAX airport with photographer Daniel Ramos this past summer. West’s attorney Blair Berk entered the plea on his behalf on Thursday (11/7).
The July incident also led to Ramos filing a civil suit against the rapper. West has claimed self-defense in that case. Court documents from the defendant state that West felt threatened by the paparazzo and reacted in order to defend himself.
If Kanye is convicted on both the battery and theft charges he could face up to one year in jail. He could also be fined $1000 for each conviction. He is due back in court on January 23rd.
(AllHipHop News) Besides spending 90 days at a drug rehab center for failing two court ordered drug tests, Chicago rapper Chief Keef will also be shoveling horse manure as punishment for a speeding arrest. TMZ reports that part of Keef’s sentence from the May incident includes community service at the Horsefeathers Therapeutic Riding Center.
The not-for-profit charity organization provides animal-centered therapy to children and adults with physical or emotional disabilities. Keef’s responsibilities will include feeding and grooming the horses. He will also have to clean up the horses’ droppings.
The Interscope Records artist was stopped in Northfield, Illinois earlier this year after police clocked him driving 110 mph in a 55 mph zone.
(AlHipHop News) Back in August, Chris Brown was served with a lawsuit by the cousin of fellow R&B singer Frank Ocean, and now Brown is countersuing Sha’keir Duarte for assault and battery. The case stems from a January scuffle between Brown and Ocean’s entourages over a studio parking spot in West Hollywood.
Duarte originally claimed that Brown started the fight by ordering his bodyguard to attack him. In the countersuit, Brown states that it was Duarte who began punching and kicking him which sparked the entire confrontation.
Brown is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
At the time Duarte’s lawsuit was filed, Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos, said, “This is what gives lawyers and lawsuits a bad name is garbage like this.”
I sort of skipped this crap, but decided that it was worth a mention since people were talking about it. Apparently, people feel they caught Will Smith cheating on Jada with some chick named Margot Robbie. Now, Will and Jada dispelled it fast and a recent, pre-scandal interview have Will saying he was gonna get Jada pregnant again. OK. But, it seems like this woman Margot is also co-starring with Will on a new project. Then Jada was seen without her wedding ring. But, insiders are suggesting this is all nothing more than a press stunt to get people talking. Or that there really is problems with the marriage and they are trying to mask the real issues with fake issues.
Alright. OK.
Nevertheless, the reps for Will dismiss the whole thing saying that Will and Margot were just clowning at the end of the film taping and that’s it.

(AllHipHop News) Drake’s Nothing Was The Same has exceeded platinum sales in under two months since it was released.
The Grammy award winner sold 38,274 this week, taking it over the top, according to Hits Daily Double. Jay Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail is the only other 2013 rap CD to sell platinum.
NWTS dropped on Sept. 24, and moved an impressive 658,000 units in the first week.
The album even leaked to the internet about week before it formally dropped.
OK, I am going to plead BULLS**T on this one, but I’m going to play the game, because people keep hitting e up about it. So, as you are saying how much trash this is, remember that. So, here it is. Basically, you know that Big Boi is getting a divorce from his wife Sherlita Patton. Well, here is the rumor. According to some mysterious deposition today, Sherlita said she saw explicit pictures of Andre 3000 on Big Boi’s phone. The following quote was found on this site.
“The whole world wondering where Andre 3k been …just check Big Boi’s phone. He’s right there, naked.” said Sherlita M. Patton.
There’s also a mysterious tweet from Sherlita’s sister that nobody seems to be able to find. I sure can’t. But a tweet somewhere that says the following:
“So you mean to tell me he’s gay AND has a tiny–weird penis. I’ma need him to pick a struggle. You might see an Outkast p0rn0 before you’ll see another album”.
In an era where an increasing amount of artists are seemingly attaining overnight success, few have accumulated a timeline of consistent career-developing experiences like the subject of this Breeding Ground Spotlight, Dirty Diana.
A New York City native currently residing in Atlanta, Diana also spends time in California. She finds that each city uniquely influences her writing and rapping styles, as trends and lifestyles tend to differ. On her latest mixtape, R.I.P. to the Competitionhosted by DJ Scream, the charismatic MC rhymes atop a mix of original tracks, sharing the mic with several guests including Gunplay and Cory Gunz, and freestyles over classic and popular instrumentals ranging from Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya” to Jeezy’s “Get Right”.
Growing up in the Bronx in the late ‘90s, Diana developed a relationship with a family friend, hip-hop pioneer DJ Kool Herc, who remains an inspiration. Becoming more involved throughout her teen-aged years, Diana enrolled in the Teens In Motion organization, which helped to develop her interviewing skills and stage presence, among other qualities required of hip-hop artists and entertainers. Her involvement garnered recognition from Jeff Robinson, President of MBK Entertainment who was once the long-time manager to Alicia Keys. Impressed, Robinson included Diana on an MBK Entertainment DVD that highlighted up-n-coming artists. During the time between then and now, Diana has been booked as an opening performer for Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick, Onyx, and Pretty Ricky, among others, as she’s independently distributed several other releases.
But prior to earning the Kool Herc co-sign, attention of Robinson, or performing on stage for audiences of thousands, Diana earned her stripes in ways that hip-hop purists, street critics, and rhyming peers would admire.
AllHipHop.com: What was your introduction to hip-hop and how did you get started with rapping?
Dirty Diana: I grew up in the Bronx, I was around a whole bunch of guys all the time. Seeing Video Music Box, I was a Lauryn Hill stan. Lauryn Hill was a great inspiration of mine. I just wanted to do it. I actually started writing with the pen… I might be in high school writing rhymes, I would hop in on the ciphers with all the guys. It would be like, ‘who is this only female in the cipher?’ That’s where the passion and the love started gravitating the audience.
AllHipHop.com: What was it like being in the cipher with all guys?
Dirty Diana: You grab their attention, because first of all they’re shocked. And then they’re like, ‘this female is saying this?!’ I like the attention, I like the audience. It could start with a small cipher, but once people see a female in there, everybody starts coming over wanting to hear something. So, that hunger right there, I always loved it. I always had a love and passion for grabbing an audience.
AllHipHop.com: How did the other females on the hip-hop scene respond?
Dirty Diana: Most females get intimidated, because my style is very aggressive. I have a very aggressive delivery, so they get intimidated cause maybe their delivery is a little weaker than mine, and I’ll come out and might say a punchline and they might get a little offended. So most of them kind of go back into their little shell, and I’d just command the crowd and take over. Most of the time that’s how it is, to this day, with me.
AllHipHop.com: Can you recall a defining moment that you’ve had on stage?
Dirty Diana: I had did this one poem that was about history, it named all of the rappers coming up. It went from 1981 all the way up to the current year. I performed it at a show and someone heard it and was like, ‘hey, we want you to open up for Doug E. Freshand Kurtis Blow, all of them guys is getting ready to do a big old-school concert and we want you to open up.’ So I got invited out here in Georgia to open up the show, and it was crowded. That was one of the biggest shows I’ve ever done, and I was able to rock the crowd and had everybody singing along with the hook. I went on and on and on, from ’82 to ’83 to ’84 (laughs).
AllHipHop.com: Let’s have some fun. I’m gonna throw out some names of female MC’s throughout hip-hop’s history, and you could let us know your thoughts and how they may influence you. Let’s start with MC Lyte.
Dirty Diana: I loved MC Lyte’s voice. To me, her voice stood out and the delivery was always crazy. She expresses woman power to me, independent woman power. She stood out a little bit more than the other females, because she had a more demanding delivery.
AllHipHop.com: Lil Kim.
Dirty Diana: Lil Kim is hardcore. I’ll always have respect for Lil Kim. She kinda took the game to another level, as far as street wise. She brought that female, sexy, street hardcore-ness to the game. She got a lot of classic records… of course she came out with Biggie. But that’s what I get from Lil Kim, the hardcore, sexy, street style, which… you know, I love her music.
AllHipHop.com: Foxy Brown.
Dirty Diana: Foxy Brown is somebody I consider a lyrical person. Her lyrical content, and also her delivery, was crazy. Comparing her and Lil Kim… Lil Kim was sexy/hardcore, but Foxy Brown had a little bit more lyrical content. When her and Jay-Z did that song together, whew! That took her all the way to the top.
AllHipHop.com: Azealia Banks.
Dirty Diana: Azealia Banks actually reminds me a little bit of Foxy Brown. If you really listen to Azealia Banks, and not just her commercial stuff, she has a unique style. She’s being different and creative, her beats are techno. She kinda could rock any type of crowd. But, underground she really could rap. She’s dope.
AllHipHop.com: Nicki Minaj.
Dirty Diana: Nicki’s dope. I call Nicki a game-changer, cause she kinda did her own thing and it worked. She went all the way outside the box, and it worked.
AllHipHop.com: As a female MC, or as an MC period, what role does appearance play for you as an entertainer, being on stage and in front of people?
Dirty Diana: I think appearance very, very important. First impression is the best impression, so you’ve gotta put your best foot forward. So if you’re coming out, you wanna make sure your hair’s done, your make-up is done. You wanna look your best at all times. So, that is very, very important in this game.
AllHipHop.com: What do you do to differentiate yourself in that regard?
Dirty Diana: I try to be myself. You know, a lot of people think you need a gimmick nowadays, but I don’t think you need a gimmick. I’m different already, I like to be different. When I shop, I buy things that nobody else would buy. Somebody else might think it’s ugly but then when I wear it it looks hot. So, I think being real… you can’t go wrong with being as real as you can get, especially when you’re already a unique person. My style is already unique, I’ve always been different.

Jay Z Dead? Mannnnnnnn….my heart straight up stopped for a second! Somebody emailed me this article that suggested that Jay Z was straight up DEAD. And I was scared! Jay Z is one of the best that ever did it and for him to pass is like if Jordan died for fans of that man. ANYWAY, it was all a satirical, critical look at Jay Z. Basically the article that was written seemed to suggest that Jay Z’s “soul” has died – but he’s still alive. They are suggesting that the outer shell is alive, but the soul is dead. Conversely, they say Biggie’s body is dead, but his soul lives on. I don’t think the commentary is so valid, but it definitely got everybody’s heart pumping. Oh, the site crashed from all the people thinking it was real. They should have prepared for the traffic. Yo…at the end there is a mean-spirited little quip about Blue Ivy. Out of bounds, man. Gotta be careful about what we speak…especially as it relates to death.
BROOKLYN – The world mourns today as Shawn Carter, AKA Jay Z, was found dead inside at the young age of 43.
While the official cause of death is still being investigated by Rap Genius editors and urban studies Ph.D.s, many have speculated that Jay Z killed himself inside.
“One minute he was doing great, producing lyrical dynamite full of incisive social commentary and witticisms,” remembers Christopher Wallace, AKA The Notorious B.I.G, whose soul remains alive despite his death in 1997.
“The next, he was an empty suit, laying face-down in a puddle of champagne and corporate sponsorships.”
“Picasso Brooklyn Nets Rothko Barclays Bugatti Samsung,” said Jay Z in catatonia above a snare drum and Justin Timberlake accompaniment. “MoMA MoMA Upper West Side.”
Carter was born December 4, 1969 in Brooklyn, which has also lost its unique soul and sound. The borough is survived by low-rise condominiums, secondhand plaid shirt retailers, and beards.
Jay Z is survived by his wife Beyoncé Knowles and his daughter Blue Ivy, who will never have the opportunity to live a fulfilling and invigorating life of successful crack dealing and will ultimately end up majoring in English at NYU before dying inside at 21.
A funeral will be held at the Barclays Center next week. Jay Z will perform tracks off Magna Carta Holy Grail from his open casket, which is sponsored by Samsung.
(AllHipHop Features) Prince Paul was the man behind the boards for influential tracks from Big Daddy Kane, Queen Latifah and Boogie Down Productions, but it was his work with the groups Stetsasonic, De La Soul, and Gravediggaz that made him one of the legendary producers to emerge from the era of late 80’s/early 90’s Hip Hop.
With a production stat sheet full of classics and numerous solo projects including the groundbreaking albums A Prince Among Thieves andItstrumental, Paul’s place in the annals of rap is cemented, so it was time for New York native to enter into the second stage of his career.
That opportunity came when Scion A/V recruited Paul to serve as host of their new interview web-series The All Purpose Show. The program highlights the rising stars of Hip Hop like A$AP Rocky, Stalley, and Rockie Fresh as Paul and his “Ill Out Crew” question the artists about their beginnings, projects, and motivations.
AllHipHop caught up with Prince Paul for part one of an exclusive interview to talk about his conversion from performer to talk show host, if he’s officially putting music on the back burner, and at what point does the drive to make money as an artist cross the line into selling out.
AllHipHop.com: What led you to want to get into hosting Scion A/V’s “All Purpose Show?”
Prince Paul: The cool thing is Scion, about a year ago, connected with me to do a little series of me traveling, interviewing new bands. It was interviewing bands and me trying to be inspired again by listening to music. At this point for me, being in the music business so long, it likes, “Eh, been there, done that. That’s cool. That’s alright.” I did that project and I guess I built a knack for interviewing people, so I was approached with the idea of doing a talk show format where I can interview a lot of the new artists. I was like cool. I wouldn’t mind doing that. It would be a challenge for me. Honestly, I’m really super, duper shy, so it was let me see if I can go beyond what my personality is. It’s been fun. To me that’s what life’s about, getting out of your comfort zone at times.
What was the transition like going from being an artist to now being a part of the media where you’re asking the questions?
Being an artist is great and being asked questions is really cool, but I think for me, especially being an artist, when asking artists questions I can really, for the most part, know how they think with some of the situations that they go through like recording, dealing with labels, dealing with fans, dealing with booking.
A lot of times after these interviews I feel really sad for them, because I’m thinking to myself you don’t know what you’re getting into. They’re like, “Man, I’m having a good time. I was drinking, having fun,” and then I’m thinking “I predict you’re going to end in about a year.” [laughs] So the insight in being an artist interviewing artists you can kind of gauge personalities, and I hate to say longevity, but you’re like “this guy is going to have a hard time” or “this guy is going to be great.”
Have you ever had a heart-to-heart conversation like that with one of the artists you’ve interviewed?
Talking with Stalley I felt like that. Definitely, talking with Killer Mike I felt like that. Killer Mike is a really good guy. Most of the people, not all, but most of the people have been really cool. I even like it more when someone gets on and they have no idea who I am. It either shows how old I am or how young they are. They’re looking at me like how do you know? Well, I did have a few records out back in the day. It always makes it interesting to me.
Does this new gig mean you’ve moved past making music?
Making music is always going to be part of who I am. I can’t escape it. Is it me making music trying to be competitive, tour and all this other stuff? Probably not, but I still work on music. I have this Brazilian record that I’ve been working on. I went out to Brazil and recorded for this album that should be out next year. I’m doing this other project that I’m not really at liberty to speak about yet. I put together a band with Rhettmatic and Mr. Len that we’re launching pretty soon, so music’s always going to be my interest. Am I going to lean on it to live off of it? Probably not, because I don’t think anybody can predict music as viable source of income not unless your name’s Jigga or Kanye.
You mentioned that you’re doing another collaborative project. If you could pick any artist that’s out now to do a full album with who would you choose?
Two people that I can think of, maybe three. One would be DOOM. We were supposed to have done an album years ago. I just couldn’t find time in my schedule to properly do it. I can kick myself, because it would have been before a lot of the other collaborative producer albums he did. It would have been the first of the batch. I kind of dropped the ball on that. If I could do one with Nas I would be really happy. A lot of beats I make I think Nas would sound really good on. Lastly, with Jay Z. It’s funny because being a producer your ear goes such-and-such would sound really good on that. That’s how I’ve always worked.
Now that you’ve expanded into other forms of media, have you considered finally making a Prince Among Thieves full feature film?
That was the intention. When I first made it I was inspired by Master P’s I’m Bout It, I was like this movie is so poorly shot and it’s popular. I could do that with more star power. I tried to pitch it to Tommy Boy, and they apparently didn’t see the vision. I was like we could make so much money, but they were like yeah, yeah Paul, we’re going to put this million dollars in whatever group that they had. Then at some point Chris Rock bought the rights to it, but he didn’t do anything with it. So it sits and it sits. If I had the opportunity, if somebody said hey I have a small budget or wanted to get a Kickstarter going, I’d love to put that together.
At one point you had an imprint with Def Jam. Would you ever be interested in starting another label since you have so much experience in the game now?
No. One thing I’ve learned that, and thank God I’ve been in the business professionally since 1985, is that money and grinding aren’t everything. Peace of mind is more important than any possible thing out there. In the highlight of my career, when I was making the most money, the stress level was so freaking high for me, because one, I’m a perfectionist.
The other part of it is I’m not like a lot of people in the music industry who [think] morals are second, money is first. With that being said, it didn’t necessarily make me a great businessman, because I have a certain line of loyalty and respect, and I work really hard. Not saying not everybody’s like that, but work ethics are very different for the music industry. So I was miserable. Now I’m at place where I’m comfortable. Adding a label onto that, do I need the stress? No.
Was it the situation of having to deal with business side of the music industry that led to your Itstrumental album which had theme of dealing with depression?
Yeah, definitely. For me it was tough because I was me running my own business and hiring people under me and making sure that they’re fed and they’re good. I was taking care of my mom and my family and kids, so it was a lot of stress. The hard part about it is that I don’t make commercial music. Records I’ve made have somewhere along the line have become commercial. So to stay true to what I do and be creative and do all this experimental stuff and try to make an income is difficult.
From project to project I really have no idea what it’ll do. Most people can go, “we’re going to take this record put it on whatever T.V. show, we’re going to license it out to these movies, get Lady Gaga to sing on it,” and they can kind of project that it’s going to sell 100,000. With me I don’t even know if one person is going to like it, but I don’t want to sell out either and do all this other stuff that I’m not into. It’s always a tough struggle between being an artist and being a wise businessman. That’s stressful. It’s rough talking business with a peace sign in your hand and somebody’s got a gun. You gotta get a gun too, so we can talk on the same level. You gotta change your whole swag up.
Like you mentioned, as an artist you’re always battling against the idea of creating art and then also wanting to be able to support yourself from your art. Where is the line drawn between making a living off of the thing that you love and “selling out” to reach a certain level of wealth or fame?
To me the sellout point is when you just go “’f’ it, I’m just going do what I need to do to make this dollar. I really don’t like country western rock but that’s what’s popping now so that’s what I’m gonna do.” That is the point where you go against what your heart says as an artist. Not everybody can really call themselves artists. To me art is a heart thing. It’s where your heart is at.
I give Kanye West a lot of credit too, because he goes against his own grain. He uses his popularity to sell records, but he’ll make one record different from the next. He’ll do 808s & Heartbreaks different from Graduation which to me was kind of bold, especially in the height of your career. People like you a certain way, and then doing something different jeopardizes what career you have. That’s pretty bold. People don’t give him enough credit for that.

(AllHipHop News) The city of Detroit has elected its first white mayor in the last 40 years. Mayor Mike Duggan now takes the helm of the city that has seen better financial days.
“[Mike Duggan] is going to be the next white mayor,” Dusty McFly, a Detroit rapper told AllHipHop.com. “We haven’t had one in a long time.”
The voter turnout was particularly low, around 20-percent. Admittedly, McFly didn’t make it out there.
“Yeah, I vote. I haven’t voted. I was supposed to vote today, but I’m not in Detroit,” he said. Dusty McFly was in New York at Benihana Restaurant celebrating his 25th birthday and his latest mixtape, Buffies & Benihanas 2.
He hosted dinner with a bevy of industry and media types, playing the album while people chatted.
Amid the festivities, the Detroit native offered his perspective on former – now disgraced – mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
“In my eyes [Kwame Kilpatrick] was a good mayor. He was young. They tried to make an example out of him, for sure,” Dusty said. “You know, but living in Detroit, it’s like that; you have to deal with those types of things. Kwame, kinda of got caught up in the Detroit lifestyle and mentality.”
Dusty continued, “Throughout his whole little [time in office] a stripper had got killed. He was cheating on his wife with Christine Beatty [a childhood friend, and long-time top aide, who served as the Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2008]. It affected me, because I was there when they say he stole so much money. Obviously, that could have affected me—but not really because it’s not my money. I feel like they did him wrong though. They made an example out of Kwame, but overall he was a pretty decent mayor. He brought things to the city that no other mayor did. He brought the Super Bowl [XL] to our city.”
Kilpatrick is now serving 28 years in prison for crimes associated with racketeering conspiracy, fraud, extortion and tax infractions.
