Jeez! The Game isn’t having such a great week in the rumors. The most recent one is something that was posted on reddit. On the site, they took The Game to task over a picture that he instagrammed. The pic showed a young Game and Tupac. The image inferred strongly that he had met Tupac, even though the picture didn’t explicitly state that. It also didn’t state that it was a photoshop job. So people are going in on him now, because the original image has surfaced. I’ll be the person to say that perhaps The Game was just looking to pay respect and homage to one of the trailblazers to his style and created an image to match.

But, I don’t know. Here is the pic below.

That’s a damn good Photohop job though. Better than mine.

(AllHipHop News) Lord Jamar’s recent comments on white rappers may have just placed the Hip Hop legend into an impending physical confrontation. After Yelawolf responded to Lord Jamar likening white rappers to “guests” in Hip Hop, Lord Jamar sent inflammatory comments towards Yelawolf and his fanbase.

Yelawolf, in an interview with VladTV, stated that while Hip Hop was founded by Black people, many other races have contributed to it and that is a fact that Lord Jamar has to accept. Lord Jamar took to his personal Twitter account to voice his denouncement of Yelawolf’s comments and send a threat:

Lord Jamar did not only reserve his inflammatory remarks to Yelawolf, but also dissed Yela’s “redneck fans” and accused them of incest:

These defamatory remarks were not met with deaf ears(or eyes) as Yelawolf soon after responded on his Facebook account. In a lengthy post, the Shady Records artist states that if Lord Jamar is interested in a physical confrontation, then he can meet up with Yela at any of the upcoming tour dates:

Schoolboy Q: Kendrick Is Bigger Than The Rest Of Us, Criticizes XXL Cover (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) In an entertainment industry based on presentation, perception often times becomes reality and Schoolboy Q seems to fully understand this ideal. In a recent interview with MTV News, Schoolboy Q shared Ab-Soul’s distaste for XXL’s Black Hippy cover and addressed the popularity hierarchy in the group.

After calling the cover title “so disrespectful”, Q reasoned that the shoot was proposed to them differently than what the title implied:

We didn’t go into that shoot saying, ‘This is Kendrick with Black Hippy photo shoot for the cover.’ We went in there and said, ‘This is a Black Hippy shoot,’ so we expect a Black Hippy shoot.

While insulted by the title, Schoolboy Q does understand the reality of having a labelmate that has already begun his commercial ascension:

At the end of the day and I always say this, too, Kendrick, he’s way ahead of us. He’s a platinum artist. I haven’t dropped my album yet. [Jay] Rock’s working on his major-label album. Ab-Soul’s working on his major-label album. We still haven’t dropped our major-label albums, so honestly, at the same time, at the end of the day, I mean he is f###### Kendrick Lamar.

Check out the full interview with MTV News which also includes Jay Rock’s feelings on the XXL cover:

Hip-Hop Rumors: Guess Where The Newest Love And Hip-Hop Will Be?

They seem to be franchising the “Love & Hip-Hop” series big time, even though some people are tiring of the antics. It seems like there’s nothing definitive, but I heard a new rumor. The latest is that Ray J may be returning to reality TV to anchor “Love & Hip-Hop: Los Angeles.” There aren’t too many more details to this rumor now, but that’s just what it is. There was clarity with some of the previous rumors about the “Love & Hip-Hop” series, but most of it is murky at best now. We’ll see.

(AllHipHop News) News broke yesterday that Chicago rapper Chief Keef was preparing to be sent back to jail after failing two mandatory drug tests. According to the Chicago Tribune, the 18-year-old has been sentenced to 90 days in a residential drug rehabilitation center for the parole violation, but he will have to return to court today to determine exactly where he will be housed.

Keef was first ordered by the judge to enter the Haymarket Center, but Cook County sheriff officials did not send him to the West Side treatment facility because of concerns that the center is unguarded. Keef is to report back to court today to determine if he will be placed at another location.

The “Hate Bein’ Sober” performer was subject to random drug tests as part of his probation conditions stemming from a speeding arrest earlier this year. He has been jailed numerous times including a 2011 arrest for a gun charge and separate incidents in Miami and Atlanta.
