(AllHipHop News) Q-Tip not only supports Kanye West but also fully believes he’s a new slave. After Kanye’s vocal support of wearing the confederate flag and selling confederate flag-themed merchandise on his Yeezus tour, Q-Tip voiced his disapproval.
On his personal Twitter account, the fellow G.O.O.D. Music attributed Kanye’s controversial wardrobe choice to a race-wide psychological brainwashing:
I love Kanye no shots but my people continue to suffer psychologically from hardships that happened under that banner
— QTip (@QtipTheAbstract) November 6, 2013
Kanye West explained to People Magazine that he taking ownership of the meaning of the Confederate flag and reimagining it:
You know the Confederate flag represented slavery in a way – that’s my abstract take on what I know about it. So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag. Now what are you going to do?
(AllHipHop News) Tashera Simmons will soon be legally divorced from her husband of 14 year years, Earl Simmons and her new book You Think You Know, But You Have No Idea will reveal a lot secrets of the relationships. In a recent interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, the estranged wife details what startling event forced her to finally leave DMX and more.
According to Tashera, the constant drug abuse and infidelity from DMX was not enough to make her leave the struggling rapper, but instead a threat from her then-teenage son, Xavier:
I felt like if I left X he was going to die. I sacrificed my happiness. It was to the point where I didnt even care. I was like ‘I don’t care. If he’s cheating. I don’t even care. I just want to help him.’ I just felt like he needed me so much. But when my son told me one day that if he hears his father talk to me like that he was going to kill him and he was 14 I realized that it is my responsibility as a parent to leave this relationship.
In addition to revealing the cause of the divorce, Tashera explains that she did not inform DMX of the upcoming tell-all book priot to its creation and reasons that his recent confessional TV appearances and past defamation of her character were enough to warrant such actions:
I’ve been here several times. I never really talk about anything, becasue I really was too ashamed and I felt like people didnt believe me anyway. It was not until he really started exposing himself more. Iyanla Vanzant did it for me. I had been writing this book, had the last three chapters and I just couldn’t get it together. […] And then after him coming, not only here but other places, saying I’m money hungry.
Check out the full interview with Tasheera Simmons as she details DMX’s fist fight with Chris Lighty in the late 90s, what happened to DMX’s finances and more:
(AllHipHop News) Eminem figuratively closed the chapter on The Marshall Mathers LP with its sequel but it seem he may also have to say goodbye to an influential piece of his childhood. According to The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, Eminem’s childhood home was involved in a damaging fire.
The fire burned areas of the house’s top floor. At time of press there are no reports on a cause of a fire to house that appears in both iterations of The Marshall Mathers LP, located on 19946 Dresden St in Detroit, MI. The home was placed on online auction by the state of Michigan earlier this year.

Eminem is also catching fire of his own with the recent #1 debut on the R&B/Hip Hop charts for his collaboration with Rihanna off The Marshall Mathers LP 2 entitled “The Monster”.

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is available now.
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.

(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.”
